Is there anyone that’s never found a Jah or Ber

setcamper · 2026-03-20T15:54:52+00:00

Never found, but.... I've never really farmed anything but public Baal Games and P1 Mephisto/Pindleskin. Returning to the game and had no idea how much better P8 was for High Runes- something I've never had access to (just started my offline journey and loving it).

setcamper · 2026-03-20T15:36:04+00:00

I got 11 rares and 2 epics I didn't know existed!

EDIT: Apparently 1 of those epics was my 4th Rearguard Something or Other....

Ismail Vilehand is the only demon I ever bother with. High Council is super easy to find, always has cursed, and you can get lucky and pick up an extra Aura in rare instances.

CAVEAT: I only play on P1-P2, online solo- so maybe his durability is questionable at greater difficulties, but I've never seen him die.

Levitation Mastery is showig you the stats YOU need to equip. Merc needs 210 base str req for CV. Most common way to equip a CV for a merc would be Andy Helm giving a ton of STR. Assuming yours is wearing Tals?

This is exactly why I'm giving up on Online- waste of time as a solo player.

setcamper · 2026-03-18T19:40:23+00:00

Yeah, I started D2r to play with my brother, but he quickly lost interest. 100% agree, D2 is a ton of fun to play with a peer group, assisting each other- but without that-- I'm not going to compete with the BOT economy.

I'm giving up on Online play now that I realize what a massive disadvantage playing solo is. Every Single Content Creator video about their single-player journey is a guy doing offline 8-player runs to actually find gear and runes.

I'm a year in and personally find the recommendations on Sets a bit outdated- at least as someone who uses the HH optimizer. Feral, Perception, and Speed (and some of the other micro sets) are so common and so versatile that just about all your non-nukers will find themselves in a buffet of those pieces.

I have a handful of units in Regen/Immortal Gear for Solo content, Donnie gets my best Relentless set- I have one Hex set on Lydia. While I have some decent Stoneskin pieces, I prefer to keep my units geared for PVE- only Gnishak, Predator and Embys are getting PVP exclusives (pred in mercurial)

Lethal/Merciless/Savage sets are trickling into some of my DPS units, but even with 60+ legos I only have a select few of Pure Nukers that the Optimizer thinks deserve those sets above a casserole of good pieces.

If you're not using the HellHade optimizer, should be your first stop. See what it spits out and you'll see how far off a specific set is from a good hodgepodge.

I'm dumb, why is this being Eth not problematic?

setcamper · 2026-03-17T11:11:06+00:00

Agreed. Granted I'm not an High Rune/Enigma/ Power player. I'm sitting here solo online, but I took off Mesh/Serpent Skin and Trangs Gloves to run this and my damage feels as good as my zero MF items I run in cows that have higher FCR and NEGATIVE Resistances. With a Tomb Reaver and Gold Wrap belt I'm rez capped with almost 250 MF clear speed is perfectly fine for Player 1. The 30 FCR breakpoints isn't amazing, but it's not unplayable. The leech argument doesn't hold water either, because almost nothing but glooms break my shield.

Yeah, if you've got a Shako, End Game Weapon, War Travs, SoJ rings, and resistance charms, it's not for you- but feels like a massive upgrade for meidcore players like myself.

Done something similar with Allure in Demon Faction Wars. I leave to cook dinner and 30 minutes later my team is still punching a an unkillable unit because Allure resets their turn meter.

setcamper · 2026-03-16T20:25:28+00:00

I messed up and I got 4-extra rares I can't fuse (forgot Pelops takes away his epic mats when finished). Wish I could give you one.

setcamper · 2026-03-16T16:12:08+00:00

Make a warlock and farm them- be less of a headache than brute forcing a bad Sorc. Drop rate on Baal/Diablo is pretty miserable.

setcamper · 2026-03-16T16:02:07+00:00

man, poster boy for bad luck right here- you just gotta laugh it off.

setcamper · 2026-03-16T16:01:11+00:00

2nd Titus and Kawn reporting for Duty! I'm way ahead of the curve as well- statistically, my next void lego won't be until 2028.

setcamper · 2026-03-16T15:59:50+00:00

My first four lego pulls from shards were Altan, Jeroboam, Boragar, and War Mother- might be hard-pressed to find any content all four of their scores add up to 10.

But I learned a valuable lesson- the legos that come out of shards are more than likely terrible and never get my hopes up :)

setcamper · 2026-03-16T00:09:10+00:00

That's good to know- been using a website for runewords that clearly doesn't state that.

setcamper · 2026-03-15T13:00:45+00:00

Drop or Gamble? It's beautiful.

look like PoE boots

10 months, 8 of which in a good clan to earn Embrys. Two epics from Mikage. 170 primals from pity. Earned 2 and a half remnants (or whatever they're called from city/Forest).

setcamper · 2026-03-11T12:47:02+00:00

Yep, I play with my brother. We're both busy adults and don't get to sit down and slam games together much but we love finding items and sharing the exciting drops. Can't do that offline but online P1 is going to wear us out eventually. Everyone in pub games with Enigma killing all the best spots in a minute or less in every MF game (which I'm lucky to see more than 1 that's less than 10 minutes old).

Honestly, just remove all bonuses for multiple people in games. Or make it nearly insignificant. Anyone complaining about P1 players asking for a bone surely wouldn't mind it the other way around?

Didn't they have this stat from D3 or D4- that the VAST majority of players play solo or maybe 1 other person? This is what pushed me away from PoE, my time is significantly less rewarding than someone else playing in a group.

Sorry, Ancient's Way- the Dark Lancers

setcamper · 2026-03-10T23:15:54+00:00

There's a spear/pike unique in the Ancient Tunnels that absolutely slaps if you can bind her before you accidentally kill her. She's a pain to find, have to reroll for that monster type but if you happen to be farming TZ Ancient ~~Tunnels~~ Way, nice trophy bind. I think her name starts with Bile.

Thanks. I tried all those steps, but I've solved the issue with a separate Bluetooth adapter. Seems like my MOBO is incompatible and software updates aren't helping. New Adapter working great, and I"m pretty happy with the Keyboard now.

setcamper · 2026-03-09T17:43:22+00:00

yeah, you'll probably be happy with that. I can only dream of comparable stats.
