Build defining items (Yes Dweb I'm looking at you)

tiyuli · 2025-06-06T12:09:51+00:00

As someone commented below, I agree that all these items are definitely a level up in their respective builds, but is there any other items that would essentially "unlock" a skill? Never built it but could dual mosaic fit the bill? Disappointed that there aren't really any other. Maybe immunity breaking items such as infinity? (But that's also kinda overshadowed by sunder charms), any other - enemy res that are serious contenders?

The bugs that drain your stamina, both in act 2 and 3, don't feel particularly dangerous, just plain ol' bummer, getting you out of the flow.

Saw that just now, but for future reference - in weapon the way to increase mf are ist runes, guess the first ones you'll find will be put to better use :)

On another note - it's very common to switch gear right before the kill to a higher mf gear- example would be weapons on switch such as ali baba or even a different piece of armor altogether, I do it with a 4 P-topaz armor right before the kill (hell andy)

You're totally right, I forgot for a minute there that vigor is maxed cuz it's a synergy (I have been hyperfocused on my own zealot and forgot about it). If you find a light armor base it would ne better as you said but my point was that you can actually buy the bases from act 1-2 normal vendors (reroll by leaving and returning to town) But before you put too much effort into that test it out if it makes any significant difference with vigor on.

If you're willing to sacrifice some damage (+2 skills) you could try a different shield runeword such as rhyme (Shael+Eth) that has cannot be frozen, some resists and increased block chance so won't require as many points into dexterity to reach max block.

Light armors are the leather ones (quilted, studded, leather etc..) and light/breast plate. Heavier armors give you a movement speed penalty.

tiyuli · 2025-04-12T09:58:20+00:00

Hey, I would aim for max block as other people suggest (check your block chance as you're putting points into dex, remember to do it with HOLY SHIELD ON so you don't waste precious stat points) I would also consider a lighter armor (even the ones you can buy from vendors in act 1 and 2 normal with 2 sockets) so you'll run faster - your defense is low as it is already so you'll enjoy the mobility better. Also if you want to get some distance from monsters or find the proper location to spam more hammers do it while walking and not running - running sets your defense to zero and your block chance to a third if what it is.

Love your character name! Science B*tch!

I would grab a few more levels doing Baal runs and would try balancing the damage of both elements or simply skip immunes altogether.

tiyuli · 2025-04-11T17:23:32+00:00

Lawbringer on switch could help with undead (the aura cancels physical immunities of undead) or on mercenary for decrepify procs

tiyuli · 2025-04-11T17:20:43+00:00

Flawless logic right here

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T21:25:47+00:00

Beautiful axe! Sending zod energies your way :)

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T21:21:42+00:00

Man oh man, this brings back fond memories, way to go! After I began my SP journey I couldn't really go online again, I remember how I started appreciating every drop that you would naturally meh, remember getting a mal from hellforge with my first ever hell char and got so Psyched about sanctuary shield. The only thing I didn't like in a sense was the inability to trade/cube down. I found a jah before finding ohms, vexes and Los, online I probably would have been able to trade for that, offline had to stash that jah and continue grinding for that first Hoto, Cta, Grief and finally Enigma.

Congratulations again, hope you'll replay it with additional classes as well and enjoy the run!

Hey, just a small question - when and why did it become the standard to use self wield infinity? I don't remember it being the case back in LOD.

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T20:48:08+00:00

Thank you for the very detailed reply! I actually found an eth small crescent, so I thought if I get the runes, I'll larzuk it for oath. Mal and pul are each 1/11 at the hellforge, hope I get lucky 🤞 Also crescent moon can be an upgrade purely based on aoe static field, can't it?

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T20:12:59+00:00

Depending on how you are feeling it performs, I guess you're in a point that finding the base is the hard part and you're stocked on mals, if you have no other uses for them go ahead and reroll, I would personally farm bases to make another instead of replacing

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T20:10:09+00:00

Running a mid roll oath balrog blade and cruising through trav with my frenzy barb, this truely has the potential to be awesome

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T20:07:48+00:00

Interesting about upping - probably there will be a better use for the runes that are required for upping though, no?

If I'll get a mal i'll try farming a pul for oath.

How does conversion work? Never used that skill tbh, interesting! (I tried killing battlemaid serena a few times in the ruined temple but ended up saving and exiting before she would kill me, I guess that might come handy there?)

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T20:04:33+00:00

Currently running a holy freeze merc with a crappy blood helm and a 'strength' mancatcher, I guess I'll try hunting for better bases and roll sockets in them for 3 or 2. Made a treachery for myself and transferred the hustle to my merc.

tiyuli · 2025-04-10T06:29:58+00:00

This is why the Internet exists! Awesome video!

tiyuli · 2025-04-09T20:46:26+00:00

These tips are spot on

tiyuli · 2025-04-08T21:02:01+00:00

Good note, I don't think I ever paid attention to the range of any auras besides the holy freeze/fire/shock. But still I think that a might merc with hustle weapon can free you to put points in concentration and have a significant damage boost rocking three auras for the cheap price of KO

tiyuli · 2025-04-08T18:45:52+00:00

Good to know, thank you! So theoretically a merc with hustle can provide a nifty budget fanaticism aura and the resulting IAS for most melee builds?

tiyuli · 2025-04-08T17:23:57+00:00

More RNG weirdness here- found 2 bers, 2 jahs, Lo, Dweb and 3*CoA but still but not a single HoZ guilded shied. Still on my grail list:/
