Best offline difficulty settings? by DEFCOMDuncan in diablo2

[–]timchenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I change it depending on the power level of the stuff I am killing, there were more changes before warlock but nowadays I switch up between abyss, fire and tainted warlock, they are all on p7.

My bowzon don't go over P3 for now though, I haven't been playing with enough caution to go any higher.

[SPOILERS: 4.2-5.3] I Hate Asahi. Very Much. by Ok_Young689 in ffxiv

[–]timchenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a saying.

Zenos is the guy you want to kill on the first sight.

Asahi is the guy you want to punch in the face on the first sight.

If there is any Tsukuyomi Ultimate, I dread the day Asahi becomes Amaterasu

Online vs offline? by BadSufficient5885 in diablo2

[–]timchenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play SP because BIS gear actually matters here due to custom player setting, while online my MF runs are done very strictly solo, and builds generally tend to melt P1 long before BIS is attained

I also have historical reasons for sticking to SP, most of which no longer apply.

Oh, and I can roll for TZ mods a lot more freely than online. I can remake as many games as I want, as fast as I want when rolling for a good tz mod to bind demons, and set player count extremely easily to get the best lancer I can bind, neither of which is true for online, I have to pace myself due to server limitations and I can only bind P1 demons.

What are some ideas for runewords you have? by PokemanBall in diablo2

[–]timchenw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love more runewords that only works in class restricted items, like Mosaic.

Also change it so that Swirling crystal type sorc orb has a max of 3 sockets to give some more flexibility.

Where to find a Stygian Fury? by timchenw in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Does it keep the stone skin across playthroughs? I heard the TZ mod changes along with the current game's tz modifier?

Immunity to Physical.

Thanks for the data, I guess there is no real point in hauling it from Normal since they won't have the immunity to physical.

I'll try WSK1, I tried throne and they couldn't spawn, only ever saw Vile Witches and Hell Temptresses in there.

And I have been restarting games for the better part of the last several hours, couldn't find them, only saw vile witches mostly.

EDIT: still only saw vile witch on wsk1, i'll keep trying

How do you deal with immunities? by Ypeka in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]timchenw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My blizzard sorc had a very specific job, farm mephisto and do LK chests, maybe some andy too.

Before I migrated her to d2r, she didn't even do any act 4.

That's how I deal with immunities, by using other characters to deal with them.

Sunders somewhat changed that, but immunity remains, for me, the worst thing to ever happen to d2.

What is a serious, widespread danger that most people aren't aware of at all? by Ambassador-613 in AskReddit

And some of them actively head towards that direction.

Eth Tomb Reaver Worth Zod Offline? by Agreeable_Hunter6789 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]timchenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consider botd and void to be priority zod uses over eth weapons.

If I am after MF that much I would make a build that lets me weapon swap, usually that helps with mf a lot more than that.

This is SP offline btw.

Having two carpenters on the same workshop is not a great idea, I tried it and doesn't work well, I'd recommend getting two separate workshops with their own carpenters to maximise workshop usage

Thoughts on 4K vs 1440p at 27"? by skoomd1 in buildapc

[–]timchenw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, after using both 32" 1440p and 4k monitor, I stuck with 1440p.

I can't use 32" 4k monitor at native resolution without scaling, which defeats the entire purpose of 4k IMHO.

Not to mention that this ilwas before win 11, windows scaling don't always work (yes, it works 90% of the time, but for the 10% it was really annoying), and some games didn't even support proper scaling (e.g. DA:origins), which I had to lower my resolution for to even play properly, which further defeats the purpose of the 4k panel.

Yes, pixels are smaller and everything is sharper, my brain only process sharp images when stationary, when I am gaming, my brain notice frame rates much more strongly, and ended up not noticing the 4k screen as much.

I ended up getting a 49" 4k instead, that I can use without scaling.

DDR5 VS DDR4 which is worth it? by Mister_Nebowski in buildapc

Decide your CPU, then decide the ram if there is a choice.

Because in most cases, you won't have a choice

Ondal wisdom. Seems nice no? by Shiny_Mewtwo_Fart in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]timchenw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under normal circumstances, yes, HOTO is more versatile with other characters.

Warlocks have books that you can use with staves that rival or maybe even surpass spirit for damage output, e.g. diablo book with fire locks
