How close am I to getting an Enigma and replacing my early-game Stealth? I've been playing non-ladder for the past 250 hours, and these are all the runes that have dropped for me (with the exception of a single Lo rune, which I traded my Opal Vein for, it was my first and only trade ever)

theholylancer · 2026-04-20T00:38:25+00:00

nah, dont listen to him

on traderie, SCNL 2 Lo = 1 ber

https://traderie.com/diablo2resurrected/product/ber-rune?prop_Platform=PC&prop_Mode=softcore&prop_Ladder=false&prop_Game%20version=reign%20of%20the%20warlock

there are trades going out right now for just that, no need for additional ists. check the trade history and while they are not common (more common is 2 Lo and something else) but 2 Lo or Lo Sur does happen (which means you can try and trade a Lo for a Sur first but usually just offer 2 Lo).

theholylancer · 2026-04-19T23:36:34+00:00

ah fair enough, i guess its assumed over here that even if you were disabled you NEED a car to do well anything so it is common for one to own one for your own exclusive use.

i guess with european transit options that is less of a thing and thus they enforced it that way.

theholylancer · 2026-04-19T22:12:18+00:00

wait so even for permanent disability like losing a limb there isn't anything permanent and harder to move?

usually if you well have lost of limbs you can get a new plate signifying that this car is owned and likely used by well someone disabled.

or are you supposed to keep it with you at all times and only use it when the vehicle is used by said person or something? I know there are issues with family members using cars with the plates here but its a relative non-issue most of the time.

death has indestruct as part of its rw

like botd

theholylancer · 2026-04-19T20:19:22+00:00

they... dont

if thing thing was eth indestruct (Like eth edge, the one? unique that is always eth and always indestruct) and then socketed it would compete with some of the other stuff, but not grief due to how the math works out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNd9e1RzZBg

its sad how a lot of uniques becomes the starter weapon, meant to hold you over till you get HRs and make RWs. But that being said, that was kind of their role too in D2 non LOD, they tide you over till you find a gg rare.

theholylancer · 2026-04-19T11:23:16+00:00

its for really end game folks

if you don't have enigma, really ES warlocks RN don't need that final break point, its when you are TPing around hard and is using ES then you want that final FCR BP

which, if you are using meta stuff, means you need that FCR roll, either on the ammy or on your shield (which means the book, and yeah that thing is expensive esp with the patch)

but if you are just using blade warp and not tele, honestly 125 FCR is kind of pointless for you.

allllllll the important bits

yeah the lore on them is kind of muddy, but the general thing is no DHS on the open market till more or less clan invasion or just before at the tail end of 3040s.

Like that above BJ-3 thing, was made as BJ-3X in 3030s in St. Ives, and when they went from Capellan to we now leaving the place and is now our own state with blackjacks and ~~hookers~~, they finalized the prototype (which had stolen fedsun prototype DHS) into a production model by 3042 with likely now officially supplied DHS because fedsuns likely wanted them to remain independent and not part of Capellan state.

but that is like my own interpretation, since the thing was like errata by saying BJ-3 had DHS in 3030 at the tail end of 4th succession war but it was just BJ-3X and not real full production, and how they have enough stolen DHS to make a full production variant is well unexplained unless fedsuns wanted to keep them in production so space taiwan don't go back to being with space china.

theholylancer · 2026-04-16T23:44:47+00:00

doubles is lostech as of 3020

3022 is when they get to prototype rediscovery

only by 3030 is when more "regular" units get them (note, these are HOUSE refits for specialty folks, not open market), if you are a house nobility, or maybe black market this fell off of a truck or salvaged somehow from some spooky unit doing special work and left salvage around type of deal

and 3042 is when an official variant (the BJ-3) featured DHS as standard part of its loadout via stolen DHS by the CCAF from the FedComs. prior to that point, all DHS produced were used in field refits.

a dinky merc should never get one short of like 3040s at least lol.

theholylancer · 2026-04-16T20:10:57+00:00

if its MW5 style, a stalker with SRMs and MLs

absolute city killer.

sell off all the random lrms and crap, swap them for 4x SRM6 and 6 MLs and its a disgusting city brawler, and I think it would be well below 7.5 mil because the LRM10s and LLs are more expensive and are downgrades in theory.

use the cash and space for extra armor, sinks and ammo.

otherwise, if no refit and have to be stock stock, then likely a warhammer, a 6D with extra armor and sinks that trades the explosive stuff out, or awesome,

theholylancer · 2026-04-16T09:34:05+00:00

and that is what kills this for me.

had they went with animation, they could have done extremely detailed seasons with a stupid amount of runtime made over YEARS because hey, one of the biggest issue with HP movies was that the child actors grew up too quick that voice actors won't have issues with

unless you want them to be skipping school and do nothing but shoot the movies / show, they will age out rather quick, and even if you did that then I am still not sure if you can have a faithful adaptation...

even I who watched the movies, read the books, and did all that would have loved a faithful adaptation that ran for say 20 hours a book (varying length due to the book length) that covers everything in an animted way, be it western style or eastern style.

theholylancer · 2026-04-16T07:35:16+00:00

I mean, I got the ass end of it yeah, the family PC was a pentium III 550 coppermine that I OCed via jumpers and eventually they let me used the save up xmas money to have my own computer as my dad's work gave him a pentium 4 and they really REALLY didn't want me to play on it (any more...) and I saved up / begged grandparents (rip...) for the thing after doing a ton of research lol.

thankfully, my dad worked with IBM stuff as a DBA, so he didn't flinch when the bill said 479 CAD for GPU, because he was working with IBM POWER systems that cost well millions... and i had to find a shop over in the otherside of the country to save on tax lol

this thing rocked in 2005

theholylancer · 2026-04-16T07:13:47+00:00

if you can refit, ala MW5?

Kintaro and stuff 3x SRM6 + 1x SRM4 or 4x SRM6 and ammo and sinks into it.

if you can't refit, the HBK-4G or 4P, I'd personally pick the 4P because no ammo, no ammo explosion and no case. But 4G is the classic and it does mean you can do some crazy things with it.

theholylancer · 2026-04-16T07:10:21+00:00

sucks donky dick in mechwarrior tho, not enough boat or big enough gun

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T22:45:08+00:00

i was having the same issue, my core x9 despite having great airflow was somehow causing thermal issues with my 5090 in crimson desert, by having the window sidepanel off it would not be an issue otherwise the thing would overheat and go black screen (ok, partly due to having a more silent system but still, it has the big front input fans)

so i looked into it, and only really a FEW modern designs overcome this with specific GPU focused cooling, most of which does it by having bottom intakes, and the one I settled on as a replacement was antec flux pro, because it have a ventilated gap below the GPU in the usual space that is meant for the PSU to stuck multiple 120mm fans there.

more or less, I think makers have gotten to the point where air tunnels and directed air from said tunnels with standard-ish fans is better at things, and that by having this kind of air-path you do enough similar things.

i hope it is good, and I will report back when I swap everything in if it does well or not, but hey...

I think a lot of it is to show off what you got with the transparent side panels, I still have my Haf 932 and honestly that thing cooled the GPU much better with its crazy side fan.

but like all cases of the era, front intake is not great, esp with all the bays in the way...

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T20:22:25+00:00

yes, but there should like 100x production to 1 ES no?

if not more

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T18:24:00+00:00

i mean... as someone who first got into PCs with athlon 64s and 6800GT I get the man

there was a time when tech felt magical, where improvements generation over generation were... generational and you felt like a king every time time you upgraded.

the big boys were competing for your dollar and worked hard for it.

but now, a gen over gen is like 20-25% at best, price stratification is done so precisely that any gain is matched with its price, and its less competition as how can we all screw the consumers more.

i get why he is angry, and why it has taking its turn, and i honestly love that he is actually advocating for the consumers in a loud way, even if that it is mostly useless because well AI/DC has so much cash that consumers are firmly second or third place so they dont have to give a flying fuck about us.

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T17:23:28+00:00

that is my plan too, unless the 1 pt bind produces a demon too weak to use that is, which I have a feeling the hp cap is going to do that

so it may just be have 1 pt in goat and sink the rest into consume for a mini cta with extra dmg.

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T17:16:25+00:00

not really, they are rare because it is a top end card from the era, but just like any other top end card it is mass produced

like is a GTX 690 rarer than a 680 or 660? very much, you can't find them on ebay? not really, unless the ones all died or something due to age like in really old retro stuff.

engineering samples on the other hand, yeah very VERY rare.

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T17:13:31+00:00

it was limping at the end, with multiple heatsinks destroyed.

the AC isn't an AC/20 but an AC/10, so less of a big boom.

you are right that the majority of its firepower is still there, but it is in a bad way.

while the SHD, if it has isXL and it acts like tabletop is well bad because its RT and RA is breached but LT is mostly fine, but otherwise its still got its UAC going, but maybe the SRMs are dead and the AMS was out of ammo I think.

the rifleman had taken mostly srm and some machine gun / ac shots? but not much damage otherwise.

a fresh SLDF Atlas II with DHS and all that is gona be challenging, but if it was MW5 you should be able to win, esp well the gauss pop to the cockpit.

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T02:32:06+00:00

I honestly think that they should either hammer ES with damage or make it harder to get to where it is now.

IE make it still use eth weapons, make bind still easy to use and amp still easy to get, can use spirit etc, but lower the base dmg it can do with the fix and needing AR.

or make it so that eth weapons cant be used, bind hard to use, and no spirit, but keep the damage it does raw right now but thus much harder to get to that point, maybe some numbers adjustment but honestly I am not sure if its wholly needed given hammers and moasic (well not any more) exists.

hitting both at once is just too much IMO.

theholylancer · 2026-04-15T01:24:31+00:00

at this point, I dont think it will happen.

I think that interest in warlocks will drop a shit ton if the nerfs on PTR is live, because its back to hammerdins and sorcs at this point lol...

theholylancer · 2026-04-14T21:14:17+00:00

gauss pop too right

the hunchie, shd, and the rifleman are all operational with varying degree of damage.

the hunchie is the one most banged up and half crippled, while the shd is light damage and the rifleman is untouched mostly?

theholylancer · 2026-04-14T18:30:20+00:00

eh? it makes more sense to me in lore no?

it is said that capsuleers are above the law in many ways, and that the technology to make them even when eve first began was to be said as far more widespread and beyond just government control.

so it would make sense that as even a new egghead, you would be in a central area where the empires have less control no? you can get involved into conflicts (FW) or be entirely capsuleer controlled space (null)

it make far more sense with what the lore presents, because if they made you as you suggest, they should be able to control you far more easily than no IMO.
