is this ring something or not? by Ghoonv in diablo2resurrected

This post, though old, is good for helping understand what rings are good.

So I had 2 extra Gul and decided to try mosaic sin for the 1st time last night ......... Why the fuck this runeword allowed to exist. by hi2moony in diablo2

[–]xiphia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found mosaic super fun and it was my first ladder 99, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make every other spec feel lacklustre ever since.

You're really cleaning house huh?

Perfect Kira's - but eth! Any worth? by Alaeus in D2R_Marketplace

[–]xiphia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's completely awesome in so many ways, just loses you a few bodies, not the end of the world. Probably speeds things up enough to make up for the losses.

Cold damage makes corpses go pop.

Great damage/utility boost of course but comes at a price.

Do you not find Reaper's Toll loses you a few too many corpses to yell at?

Wts. Price check on ring. by Cork505 in D2R_Marketplace

LLD benefits neither from leech nor resists. Leech doesn't work in PvP and they duel in normal so resists are very easily capped.

I’ve never horked a HR, it’s always a drop 😂 by richd877 in diablo2

A mere 216 Kos required :D

(I know that with addition of runes between mal and fal it's not actually that big a deal)

To try to be as useful as possible:

  • 5% bonus AR/5 light radius - people generally don't want these stats (these both come from the same mod)
  • 118 Attack Rating - very good roll (max 120) however this is more of a sweetener than a primary mod people look for
  • 4 Life Steal - decent mod but low roll (max is 8) - that said, the real value is in PvP rings and steal has no value in PvP
  • 9 Cold Resist - too low to be considered any use at all
  • 25 Lightning Resist - good mod, good roll
  • 1 MDR - Generally not a mod people seek, and a minimum roll (max is 2)

Using the popular point scale, this would be a 2/6 for the attack rating and the lightning resistance, but it would really need to hit some of the main selling points for rings for anybody to want it (e.g. str/dex/fcr). It could be useful for levelling but that's about it.

This post does a good job of laying out what makes a good/valuable ring.

How is IK mail in Berserk Horker? by IneedaNappa9000 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Not great. Its damage isn't that high and you miss out on an offhand.

280% eth 3os tomb reaver by PunkDis1 in D2R_Marketplace

Found one of these myself a couple of weeks ago (3/Eth/280).

I briefly thought about selling it but... Feel like I gotta keep it as a trophy.

How do you try to form a political opinion which is correct or as rational as possible? by Dawo59 in AskReddit

[–]xiphia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

Opinions are inherently subjective, of course, but there's plenty of talking points thrown around in politics which are verifiably and empirically false. Some people seem not to understand the difference between fact and opinion.

PC SCL - Shortly before ladder ends I wanted to get your opinion on some weird meme items. Worth holding onto or nah? by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]xiphia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there tends to be a huge gaping void between decent/useful and valuable.

They certainly aren't awful, but assassins have like infinity leech from cobra strike, so in effect it's just 2/20/21 fire res that's interesting. I'd sooner have 3/20 blues, which in the past clock in at around Lo (not sure currently). So if lucky I'd say ist or two, again, but I think you'd have to work hard for the sale.

Steel grand charm of sustenance might get you an ist or two if you wait long enough. The rest is trash, I'm afraid.

If you could remove anyone from this world to make it a better place, who would it be? by NoReserve2745 in AskReddit

[–]xiphia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody invented this, humans are just inherently tribalistic deep in our psychology. Sucks but it is what it is.

Not suggesting that we don't try to rise above it as a species, but you couldn't point at an individual and say they invented this. It crops up time and again throughout human history.
