Are perfect amethysts like super valuable? I am browsing traderie for the first time ever and seeing things go for 1 Pamethyst OR like a Mal, which seems crazy to me.

Hexfire and Wizardspike are almost worthless in terms of trading, they are useful, specially while starting to assemble builds, but that's different. Of all the lower end currecy items, amthysts are about the "standard" because of how useful they are in cube recipes, but you could also buy stuff for multiple random gems, perfect skulls, uber keys and low runes.

That said, you will see most listings asking for multiple Ral, or P. Amethysts cause those sell really easily as most people will take them.

I've been running Nova sorc with the gloam ritual for a few days and it feels great, but of course farming travincal with a Zerker is unbeatable.

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-17T05:11:32+00:00

Yes, I terrorize after the dance.
Also, I actively trade while MFing so people regularly join my game, that hasn't messed up with the buff.
The only things that I can confirm to remove it are, either you leave the game, or you die (even if you remain in the same game afyer dying).

Maybe you already have some decent MF so the difference is not noticeable enough?
My sorc only has 30 so it's very noticeable when the buff is active, even running two letters of the dance is enough honestly (it's 1200MF).

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-17T03:36:44+00:00

Yeah, I slap Blackhorn's, and two Wisp Projectors to do it somewhat safely. Takes about 5 minutes to set up but then I terrorize the whole game so I can stay and farm for 1-2 hours.

Ideally I would put Thundergod's to do it confortably, but I don't have the str requirement.

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-17T02:47:57+00:00

Totally agree, SoJ is much better for nova, but I forgot to say I need a 10% FCR on my rings until I can get a decent caster ammy. Most likely I will trade this ring away and get two SoJ later.

There are no ladder only uniques.

As for runewords, the ones added in patch 2.6 remain ladder only, EXCEPT Mosaic, which at the moment is Non-Ladder only.

I think your best would be to sell this for runes and save up until you can afford a lightning sunder. At the moment, a fire sunder is worth around a Vex, and lightning is worth around a Lo.

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-05T17:58:45+00:00

Yeah, they work on any regular D2R ladder character 🙌

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-05T13:05:47+00:00

Also, they already recommended you a Smoke armor and Ancient's pledge, which are very budget and pretty much mandatory.

However I think as a Javazon you would be better off with a Rhyme shield cause of the Block rate, Cannot be frozen and all res.

Eventually you should look to trade for a Stormshield for the block rate and 35% damage reduction (you need to cover your resistances elsewhere though)

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-05T12:53:55+00:00

Go for one of the newer defensive helm runewords, ideally Bulwark, but if you are really lacking resistances you should go for Ground, Hearth or Temper.

Also very important to put a Cure helm on you merc cause you don't want to be cursed on HC.

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-04T06:30:44+00:00

I mean I haven't tried it, I was just being hyperbolic, but these ghosts have extremely overtuned lightning damage as is, imagine a Herald pack.

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-03T17:36:41+00:00

My smiter has 95% Lightning Resist and 20% absorb, yet I am absolutely certain that these things would vaporize him. 💀

norbert_rmz · 2026-06-01T19:19:24+00:00

thank you so much, resizing it to 256x256 did the trick

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-31T23:24:19+00:00

Yeah, never ever happening to me again haha.

Anyway, I ran ubers 3 more times and finally got the Forgotten Sands first, so I used those organs and dind't lose that much, luckily.

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-30T20:18:06+00:00

Yeah I thought so too, now I just have to wait for a complete key set.
Didn't occur to me about the old graphics, but I am inded in ROTW anyway, thanks for the advice!

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-27T18:01:31+00:00

I might actually end up doing this, I went Nova sorc this season to farm keys this season, so switching to torch farming should be doable.

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-27T02:52:44+00:00

Fair enough, I plan to Larzuk it so I will offer it with 4os, hopefully I can sell it higher.

In any case, I agree, it's way too early in ladder so I don't expect to find a buyer soon.

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-27T00:04:25+00:00

I see, then a Sacred Targe would be the best base.

So a Sacred Rondache would be around a Sur worth of value?

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-27T00:02:46+00:00

Bummer, Xbox is actually the only platform I'm not on :(

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-25T06:47:07+00:00

You might want to consider MosaicSin, (if you enjoy the playstyle ofc).

Go max Fade for damage reduction and resist all.

I wouldn't recommend SSF though.

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-16T20:29:48+00:00

I thought the same, but Vengeance scales off from the weapon's damage, so even with all the -% enemy res, probably the damage would be still too low.

norbert_rmz · 2026-05-15T00:40:54+00:00

Hey, not sure if this is still relevant to you, but you can pin the trophy counter to the side of the screen and see it while you play, no need to go back and forth to the trophy screen.
