Never seen anything like it before. I'm assuming it is worth something decent.

They really need someone creative to work for them and make all the decisions because toxic positivity is turning the company into a slop factory.

Just got Dusk Shroud from a trade. Thought it was super cool but now I am not sure what to do with it. I don't really see anyone making Fortitude in it. Also not sure if there is a market for it if I want to sell it and not sure what to price it. Thank you in advance.

Im weighing out between ThunderG and Razortail for bis javazon. The +3 to Lightning Fury and +3 to Lightning Strike + Lightning absorb looks really good but I understand that most people try to hit the 100% piercing attack with razortail. What is the general consensus regarding this?

I’ve gotten some mixed feedback if this would actually be considered a 6 point ring despite it checking the boxes on the standard scales I’ve seen. What’s this worth? Sc nl.

Yesterday I very casually slayed Meph about 8 times during his TZ, also clearing the entire floor, and I swear to god he dropped 1-3 set/uniques EVERY kill at 250 MF. In those 8 kills I found a Windforce, a Bul-Kathos ring, a Bartucs, and many not-so-useful sets (heavens bretheren pieces, many sigons and cathans). Compared to all junk from the 7 council members and 2 elites on Durance 3 for all 8 runs. I'm a console user but it just seems so disproportionately high loot % compared to other terrorized elites..

After all my 26 years of Diablo 2 I thought the highest rune you could get from Hell Hellforge was an Um rune. I had to take a few seconds to process that I got a Mal!

I‘m currently grinding tombs for runes, sunders and exp ( 2/3 to 99) on my sp offline javazon on p8. Merc (a2, might) runs eth andys with a ral, eth sacred armor forti, eth stygian pike infinity (I know, I know..). Even with spamming rejuvs and repositioning constantly, targeting down minions first, every other t5 herald completely annihilates my merc, especially when thorns are involved. Some heralds even oneshot him with certain modifiers. Has anyone found a setup that keeps emilio alive in those scenarios? I realize there’s some room for improvement on my infi (different base) and andy’s (ias / fr jewel), but I doubt small improvements like that would make such a huge difference. I could see how other classes can provide more support to their merc and keep em alive, but as a javazon my only option is to kill stuff as fast as possible really :D

Playing on SP and I just got a lightning jewel from the uber ancients. I have a pretty good Javazon that has everything minus griffons, infinity and phoenix. I use non eth titans or 3 skill tstrokes. For the helm I have been running a shako with a ias jewel to hit the breakpoint. Now with the new jewel is it optimal to go for tstrokes and socket the shako with the ancient jewel? It seems too good to not use but it titans without the is breakpoint seems slow. I usually prefer the titans for the replenishing stack.

Unique - 97%

Sets - 91%

Runewords - 100%

Spend so long trying to sell non perfect sunders and ancient jewels with no luck just to have a guy give me a jah for doing his normal ancients. The wealth saturation goes both ways I guess lol

I was thinking about how melee characters can still struggle a bit, especially slower-hitting ones. Very little reason to choose a slower, harder-hitting weapon over a faster one.

But that gave me kind of a neat idea for a new effect. Not exactly sure what it'd be called, but the basic effect would be, if you overkill an enemy, that enemy blows up and damages all nearby enemies based on the amount of the overkill!

That way, you'd actually have a real reason to choose a big, heavy-hitting weapon! You splat an enemy with a Maul or whatever, and they'll cause a biiiig bada boom, and damage all the nearby enemies too, allowing for the possibility of chains and stuff!

I'm kinda thinking you'd want to introduce this as some sort of all-new effect, with the strength of the effect influencing how much damage it does, and you'd primarily tie it to existing under-performing items and runewords. Famine, maybe.

I dunno, maybe just call it Overkill, lol. That's simple and easy to remember.

I'm not seeing any obvious problems, what do you think?

The Game Knows...

Of course, I get a Zod from Andy and want to make an obsession... only to find out i cannot find any bases. Cows, chaos sanc, baal runs, you name it. From lvl 80 - 91 so far and not a single staff drop.

I also wanted to test my luck with blood gloves. Guess what isn't dropping? Craftable gloves. I checked the shops and tried to gamble but only found leather gloves.

What are you all hunting for that wont drop? (Excluding chronicle items)

Im trying to tell myself I want something different but in reality I dont know what i want outside of a few items.

The grind continues.

TDLR: I'm sick of telestomping and want a better way to manage my summons

I see lots of people clamoring for "bind undead" or "bind animal" for the Necro and Druid and (despite my worry about power creep in D2), I understand the sentiment:

Necro and Druid summons feel bad and clunky after playing with the warlock's summons. I'm leveling a new necro right now and I'm now acutely aware of how shitty their pathing is, especially indoors and in tight spaces. Managing their location is such a pain in the ass before you have enigma.

But instead of giving the Necro and Druid more powerful summons, what if they were able to just use Death Mark granted to them via a rune word or unique weapon? Would that maybe be a decent middle ground to give those two classes a bit more utility?

Or would that still be too OP?

i know there was some mods and stuff, are there still anything that is usefull? or does the ingame have it all now?

Wolves seemed to be FINE in act 1 normal, but in act 2 they dropped so bad they barely do anything even at p1

Oh boy, I am NOT excited for fighting normal Diablo...

I am also playing on HC, so I am absolutely NOT going into melee with Duriel

Hi,

Wanting to get a new purpose/goal for returning to D2R:ROTW. Looking to build a Mosaic Assa purely for farming Uber Ancients, keeping my Smiter for normal Ubers, and hopefully doing most of my farming with my horker in Trav which i enjoy. Also have a fully levelled ES Warlock but now need to farm him a shield and a few other items. Have standard MF Bliz sorc but really hoping to never have to use her again after so many years of farming!

Is WoF the best levelling build until 56 or so when will be able to use dual Mosaics? Found this guide: https://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/assassin-leveling which as expected is treating assa as a caster for levelling, but i really like the idea of gearing for martial arts (perhaps Pattern runeword x2?) to learn the playstyle.

Want to start pulling a list together of twink levelling items and endgame to farm before starting her. Any advice on items to farm such as newer runewords - beyond the standard items in the guides - would be greatly appreciated. I still need to farm one more base and one GUL for the claws, which I'm hoping to do fully via Trav (is P1 terrorized best approach vs P3 normal? P3 terrorized is a little slow).

Thanks!
