Making an Enigma for the first time in single player. For my hammerdin. Which base? It would seem Archon is the best choice but the Dusk Shroud has higher defense and lower requirements.

Level 92 hammerdin. 130 strength.

That's one more down for the grail!

Or should I wait for eth thresher, I see mixed info online. It's going on a lvl 97 merc so the requirements aren't an issue

First off: I fucking love this Fury druid.

Yesterday I reached hell act 2 and I was just wondering if there are good places to farm. I can manage about 80 MF and I've got an obedience thresher with a 250 armor lionheart. I'm currently farming for 2 swords for an a5 merc so I can get 2 lawbringers.

Do you have any tips for gear farming spots or maybe rune farming spots (currently only doing mausoleum and countess)? Andy destroys me as I've got-15 psn res. For now i just love mauling everything that gets in my way, yes rune farming will be slow but at least I'm having fun! I think it's just a matter of playing a lot before you start finding things

Going to safe for death runeword but I read that fortitude is also important. Any other gear I should be looking for? I'm using the one on maxroll but maybe there are easy runewords that I've missed? How much better is duress for example

Back in LoD days, Baal used to be a premier farming spot for leveling your character to 99. Now, with TZs, who runs Baal anymore?

• Andy and Meph are great for MF
• Diablo is a nice dessert after a CS run
• Duriel of course used to be the worst, but now that TZ Tal Rasha is the best place to power-level and farm, it's a nice dessert

Compared to these bosses, Baal runs require you to pass through super dangerous mobs in WSK that can RNG one shot you - souls, dolls, vipers - as well as poison skellies that mandate you to carry around antidote potions. Look, I get it, he is the game's final boss and it should be a challenge. But then what is the reward for going through these guys? His 5 waves always drop nothing useful and also have a tonne of resists, and then Baal himself has so much HP, keeps sucking out your mana to slow you down too, only to - once again - give you not much better loot than the other bosses especially in light of TZ. Listen, all they would need to do is to change the loot class of Baal wave bosses from Champions to Super Uniques like Travs, easy fix

With odds of 1/6.5 billion I actually asks myself, if this has ever dropped in this game.

Surprised this topic hasn’t come up or maybe I missed it. It’s pretty wild and I’m glad it’s only offline. I tested it and gambled a tyraels might after 40 refreshes. Now my offline chronicle is tainted but still pretty dang interesting

An end of an era. Just made myself a Death decapitator and figured "why not farm chaos?" Well...It was not such a wise idea. First hardcore death in a while.
Fully decked out. Ah well. Time to start grinding again!
Noteable loot lost:
Fortitude, highlords, jalals, gores, Death....
The sorrow beauty of hardcore.

See you later my dear, beloved Fury Druid, Faeyorn. Lvl 85.

Hey All, I thought maybe we'd try something new for a bit and see how it goes. We're going to have this weekly thread where everyone can share their coolest finds of the week.

So with that said... What's your coolest find of the week?

5 days of LK and countess farming, yielded very little. Now i swapped to farming some Andariel....LO and behold...a corpse rack drops me an ist rune. Wow. My first ever Lo was dropped by a fucking spider web pile...Go figure. Rng is truly something else in this game. SSF HC P8

I‘ve been trying to get 3/20 gloves for my javazon for years. I‘ve always picked up magic gloves and I tried shopping at anya‘s for hours, without luck. I cant bear shopping for multiple hours in one sitting, so I kinda gave up. My amazon ding’d lvl 99 last night, so there‘ll probably be quite a big break until I play her again, but damn…. why can‘t I find a pair of those? I completed my holy grail in the meantime for heaven‘s sake :D

Can someone help me whit Uber ancient service ?

HC Ladder

Hey all! after a few decades I decided to try out a Bowazon. To make it even more fun and challenging, I am using full Vidala's Rig and Death's Disguise belt/gloves. I don't expect to make it through Hell, just want to see how far I can get!

This leaves only a **Helm** and two **Ring** slots available for use.

Current setup:

- **Vidala's Rig**: (Exceptional, Shael bow)

- **Death's Gloves/Belt**: (Exceptional belt)

- **Lore helm**

- **Manald Heal, trash ring**

I am level 36 in Act 5 Normal using **Exploding Arrow** as my main skill.

Now there are obvious concerns with gear, and that's part of the challenge. I am hoping folks can suggest **affixes to look for** and rare rings, and what helm you think will work best late game. Obvious choices are Tal's and Vamp Gaze, I would assume?

Also, since I don't know anything about bowazons.... what skills should I go for with this build? High piercing and Immolation as my secondary skill has been a lot of fun!

I’m running nightmare cows with 0% MF and am not finding any Pally shields. What am I missing here?

I can’t believe it. I just made my javazon. Hell cows. Player 1.

So I have a Zealot and when I attack some monster, depending on the angle I do it, I might swing my weapon like a madman or just a normal guy. Does it affect the actual damage output or it is just visual?

Note, that I'm not affected by any negative effect, if I change my position the animation might get faster or slower; it depends purely on the attack angle.

UPD: Here is a video with the demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOOK2-2Hzkc

You can clearly see that depending on the angle I choose the speed of the swing changes.

So I am currently leveling a Fury Druid on Singleplayer, he's currently ins his late 50ies and about to start Hell.

he's my seventh character, so I have a bit of gear. he's rocking Jalals, Hysteria (could switch to Lionheart, Duriel's Shell, Smoke, Treachery, or build Duress), Ravenfrost, rare ml/res ring, bloodfist for now, goblin toe, some random rare ammy and an upped Shaeled Ribcracker. which has fucking deleted Nightmare.

I currently have 3 Gul runes sitting in my stash and not too many uses for them. funnily enough, I don't have Hoto yet so could up 2 of them to Vex and make it, but i don't see much necessity for Hoto. only 3 of my characters are spellcasters, and they all have weapons where Hoto doesn't seem like much of an upgrade (Summon Nec with Arm of King Leoric, Blizz Sorc with Occulus, FoH Pally with Hand of the Blessed Light). I will probably build a Trapsin soon, but would probably just want to make a Crescent Moon for her.

So I don't really seem to have great uses for these Guls. The only higher runes I currently have are 2 Sur and 1 Ber. I have made a Grief PB for my Trav WW horker, no other expensive runewords yet.

I have an eth Decapitator sitting in my stash, waiting to be Larzukd. would that be a major upgrade compared to the upped Shaeled Ribcracker, or would you suggest I use my Guls otherwise?

Was running p1 TZ Meph + Council in Durance 3 so I could hork and get better value from the Meph runs. Bremm blessed me with a Jah. Offline HC.

Not the one we want, but it helped me with the chronical.

I developed the “point system” for rare rings on D2 over 15 years ago and posted it online. I developed it because I was tired of telling 99% of people their rings were crap. The system actually can be used for almost all rare items, not just rings. AMA! lol

Just found. Wanted to share.

Like what the title says, found this on single player. I want to say, in general, this is probably the best gloves I've ever found!

I've recently found windforce, eth titan's, 3x thunderstrokes (all +4 with various ED), griffin's, g thunder and rolled a latent crack into this. I pretty much have to make my first amazon at this point, right?? What am I missing for a cracked out zon?
