Well fuck, I guess this season is basically over. Prices for everything have completely tanked and the last thread even got deleted.

>>161666214
How many times have you ran it? Finding stuff is so secondary to getting levels desu. Get to level 90 and see how much stuff you've found along the way. And you can get to level 90 in the pit.

>>161666374
http://pf-mail.wixsite.com/d2speedruns/blank-jhy8z
I know its a speed run guide but its the only build that won't leave you tearing your hair out.

For beyond normal you respec to Frost Orb at some point in Nightmare but I don't really know the specifics of that build. Probably Max Frost Orb then Cold Mastery and then you have to put like 12-15 points in fire wall to get past hell ancients.

>>161666214
Only one of the 85 areas easier than pit is the mausoleum. There isn't even any ranged monsters there.
>>
>>161668005
What are you playing? Javazon? Its a higher skill cap imo. You have to actually read monster affixes, and know which ones will kill you. Assassin may be a little easier with cloak of shadows and mind blast giving you so much CC. Are you playing something else? If so I wouldn't be doing the pit, there are better options for other classes.

>Tfw can't get past GR70

reeee
>>
>>161667929
Yeah its the frost Orb build it takes you all the way to Hell Baal which you can kill at level 61. Somewhere around level 80 Blizzard becomes the better build.

I suppose you could opt just to not go to Hell Baal since you ain't gonna farm it anyway, Respec Blizzard at level 24, and go straight to Hell Ancient Tunnels. I mean thats definitely what I would. Actually I would go straight to Hell Chaos and farm Infector's side over and over to get beaucoup XP.

>>161669769
Faith is a ladder only runeword if I remember correctly. You need PlugY to get it in singleplayer. Also, run countess and open lower kurast chests/kurast sewers superchest for the best chance at finding high runes.

bnet is cancerous as shit
its not even all the bots, spam and what not
but the fact that i cannot play a single session without constant delays on actions or being ported back is good enough of a reason for me to not consider bnet at all

either way i really wish there was some good bow/xbow that would help me grind

>>161671354
I know it is but I use the kinda csv file that you put in the data folder and it adds additional stuff to the game (ladder runewords in this case), i kinda don't consider it cheating because playing SP without some ladder RWs like Insight is like intentionally crippling yourself

also yeah I've been hunting LK/Cows/Countess for runes but as it currently stands I'm a far away from getting them (pic rel)
>>
>>161671354
Countess and LK superchests are a meme.
>>
>>161671354
Countess would never drop the Ohm or the Jah. LK would never drop the Jah.
>>
>>161671619
If you play singleplayer and really need a runeword to make your build even work, just use some editor to give yourself the runes or something familia.
The drop rates and economy in the game are literally balanced for botters who make their scripts grind the game a thousand times more than you ever could manually, and for rmt site runners who could print infinite zods if they wanted to because they know dupe exploits that have never become known to public and fixed.
>>

Which means what for a hammerdin? The block chance is all that really matters plus the base resist for hdin. Thats why Sacred Targe's are preferred, they have the highest of both without an insane strength requirement. Actually they may have just hands down the highest base block % Im not sure.

I also have a 4os knout that I'm probably going to use for HOTO, is it a decent idea to use a knout? I'm pretty new to this
>>
>>161680179
with built in +block % in their skill tree to to give them max block chance with half the dex requirement
>>
>>161680454
The str/dex requirement is higher in a knout so most casters can't use it if they aren't going for max block. Even if that doesn't matter to you that'll probably affect the trade value.
>>
>>161680454
aside from Stealth (which you'de be better off putting in a light armor of some kind, any it doesn't really matter, studded leather imo looks the best though), the rest of it though it looks pretty but it doesn't really offer anything useful.

You would be better off, and trust my on this, shopping for +res boots/gloves/belt from Charsi in A1 NM. Open a cows portal next to here and continually go in and out resetting her items until you find like +30 light res boots, +30 fire res gloves etc. Any combination there of to give you maxed Light/Fire resist for hell. Cold and poison isn't as important, and you can also chug thawing/antidote potions they give you +50 cold/poison resist respecting for 30 seconds and the duration stacks.

The exception is the Lightning Absorb on Blackhorn's Face thats pretty good. If you don't have max Light/Fire resist or something close to it though you may opt for a 2os helm with a Ral/Ort in it.

Knout is ok for a HOTO but Flail is better, less str/dex requirment and it will actually have resale value.

Also you can shop a wand with +20fcr and more +resists from Akara via the same method. As soon as you find a four socket Cystal or Broad sword though you should make another Spirit.

By playing a tanky class like an amazon with all her dodge stuff and dex for blocking, or barb for bullshit orders, battle cry, natural resistance, etc. Too bad the barb needs to get into melee and needs big sticks with big stat requirements to do any damage and amazons are pretty terrible, though :^)

>>161726921
They got mega turbo nerfed after the piercing guided arrow apocalypse and only LF/CS javazons are any good nowdays. Any of the physical skills are a trainwreck because of bad damage and bad attack rating, the fucking bow phys skills even DECREASE your already shitty damage and have NO attack rating. Fire bow skills are a joke. Freezing arrow is decent but you need atleast some gear for that, and it's level 30 so have fun getting there. The poison skills just plain suck cock past the first few acts. The lightning skills are the only actually good ones, but even then you have problems like dogshit cast speed so have fun teleporting and dealing with lightning immunes without infinity merc.

>>
>>161728064
The teleporting gets especially bad because the chances of something interrupting your tps increases massively when the cast speed is so horrible, so it's easy to get fucked if you ever make a bad tele.

One thing I forgot to say about the cast speed, it's pretty bad when you have to cast valks, decoys, slow missiles too. Slow missiles being slow to cast is really fucking bad, because if you're casting it chances are that you really need it.

And by doing what they do I don't mean have high apm or skill or anything like that I mean like shopping a lower resist wand at level 31, or farming nm countess for an io rune. stuff like that.

thats why you just run past everything until you get to an open space or wherever you were going in the first place. you don't need to kill every little thing, just run into high density and start spamming hammers.

but man if a Zealer is where you think its at by all means, and people have success and they walk through the game with them but they walk through the game with all manner of crazy builds, they view it as a challenge. and its a lot harder and takes 10x longer than just running from groups of enemies to groups of enemies spamming hammers.

Smoke needs Lum which you necessarily haven't found, Peace is pretty good and cheap though. The movement speed from Stealth is really helpful on javazon even on hell, because you don't really have any cc or movement abilities or anything so going fast is a must.
>>
>>161752019
Not sure but I would advise going act 2.
>>
>>161752279
Lum can be farmed from nm countess. Movement speed is whatever, the thing Id really miss on a zon is the FHR but whatever Im just killing stuff off screen anyway. You can try either or and decide which is best personally +2 amazon skill is so hnnng remember its going to make your passive skills better too and its the only +amazon skill source you're likely to have until much later on.

Apparently amazons become unstoppable superjesus tanks when you have 60% block rate and 24% physical resist on top of the dodge skills and positive resists. This hell playthrough is the biggest trainwreck that still remains viable enough to advance through the game.

I have posted a couple of vids here before but this is my magnum opus, if only because I happened, just so happened to find a Shako on the run I recorded. Well I recorded a few others but one was not a sufficiently spooky Chaos and the other two I was connection interrupted before I could finish.

The hardest to find item in this setup is I suppose the Thul rune for Spirit. The shield comes from a3 normal. The Crystal Sword base comes from normal cows. The gloves/belt/boots are shopped from a1 nm. I didn't even take the time to find really good ones. And as you'll see I didn't use any rings or an ammy.

If there is a necro build that gears up + levels up as fast as Paladin I would play it in a heart-beat, no joke because I want the gear and the levels. I have yet to see it though. Every summoner Ive seen play sucks. Maybe it gets better with levels? Who cares, Pallies get insanely better with levels and gear. Sorcs are on par but the gear to make them work is more expensive imo. Pallies need Enigma and thats it Sorcs need Inifity plus, imo Enigma.

Thats why Pally > *

To be honest, skellymancer with 20 CE could've nailed this way quicker. Doesn't matter how big the group is, as soon as there's one corpse, the entire group will be corpses straight after. The only downside is that you have to spend a minute building your army first.

>>161768629
>To be honest, skellymancer with 20 CE could've nailed this way quicker.
Easy to say, I want to see it. Im not just going to take your word for it. Im not sure that the summoner with baseline gear can even do it at level 80. Maybe, but the Pally can do it at level 70, and really even before level 60 if you want to push it, and you actually take the time to find a little bit better gear.

And btw check out my other video with the sub 4 minute time. I want to see the necro do that. Believe me, I really do, I would love to play a necro.

A sorc with an "expensive" gear steamrolls through everything and even a full MR gear sorc can farm player 6 without any inconvenience.
I personally felt like being a slug when I tried to farm with a hammerdin.
You might want to note that I am in no way an expert in builds so It's entirely possible that I fucked up something in my build.

Well I don't see how what you 'feel' has to do with the objective, verifiable and repeatable potential of a class. I can show you Blizz sorcs with much the same gear that can clear chaos minus the cold immunes, until they have a merc that meets the gear check but to me Id rather not lose the 100 or so Diablo kills in that time that I could have gotten on the pally.

I don't think so you just need people to play non-stop, which they did. People play 8-12 hours a day every day for weeks at the beginning of the ladder if you do that you'll have high runes to trade.

People wouldn't be trading dumb shit for an Ist Ill give you that.

>fire druid: skill tree and synergy structure unbelievably fucked up, all skills have a shared cooldown, everything except fissure does laughable damage, molten boulder and volcano have fucked up underpowered synergies, firestorm actually does less damage than what the skill says because the flames last less than a second, armageddon needs 5 skillpoints in preresquites and has way too little range and strike density
>shapeshifter druid: skills are bugged and ruin your attack speed breakpoints, druids get shit hp per point in vit, also >playing melee

I'm confused now
>>
>>161776668
Druid's summons are purely supportive, as they aren't given the tools to build purely for them like Necros are. Werewolf and Werebear both are definitely viable, but are melee, therefor are gear intensive, moreso than Barb and Paladin.
>>
>>161776668
>>161777976

>>161776668
Oh and don't listen too much to >>161777176 while he's right in some points, Fire Druids are still completely viable, it's just that because of all the Fire Resists in Hell, it takes a bit more finesse to play.

I say this to say Fire and Wind Druids are perfectly fine, it's just that they aren't entirely faceroll as fuck, is why people give them shit.

Though Wind is obviously the more facerolly of the two, which is why it's the more prominent caster build of the Druid.

>>161780897
Fire druid doesn't really have a plan B for fire immunes, at all. And fire immunes are really common in Hell.

I'll give you it's alright in party play when you can just go full retard and put literally every point you get into the fire spells, and throw around fissures that do bugged damage and melt everything not immune to fire. But the moment you have to do something by yourself, it turns into unviable shit.
>>
Why is there a Diablo general that's nearly entirely D2? Is D3 really that bad? I'm still surprised they only made one expansion. I thought the expansion made it a much better game.
>>
>>161778864
What about the other two spirits, are they worth using? The Thorns-ish one seems like it might be good, but I'm not sure how well it scales later on
>>
>>161781250
Volcano, Molten Boulder, your Merc and Wolve/Bear get you around Fire Immuntes, but it's not so straightforward and requires a lot of work, is the thing. IF you're smart with your Volcanos and Boulders, and you can get your merc specific gear or build for Wolves/Bear, it works. Again, it takes work though.
>>
>>161781529
The Oak Sage and the Heart of the Wolverine are what you'll use, depending on your spec. They're both great though. You do have to recast them somewhat often because they'll die somewhat frequently, but they're good. Thorns one, not so much. Thorns damage in general was nerfed a lot over D2's lifespan.
>>
>>161781909
Unless you're playing twinked and have scraps from the dupe table out of the ass, relying on your merc to do anything or expecting him to even stay alive is a lost cause.

And the damage on molten boulder and volcano is a joke, on top of the synergies being all wrong and impossible to set up so the build actually works. Even with maxed boulder and volcano the physical component is garbage especially considering how every monster has 50% phys resist on hell or some shit, compare to wind druid which does literally thousands of phys damage per cast with tornado WITH NO CAST DELAY and you'll still be hammering the fattest enemies for a while with that. Now imagine trying to do hell chaos sanctuary with it's trillion fire immunes with massive hp pools and damage outputs, boulder does nothing and volcano is a single target spell that only works when the target is standing still. It's not even remotely practical and you don't even have to get to hell CS to run into problems.
And that's not even accounting that boulder and volcano are all around shit so you still need fissure, except with fissure 20 boulder 20 volcano 20 you'll have half-synergized skills with already bad damage. And your ultimate skill is shit and to add insult to injury the fissure synergy for armageddon is the bad one that doesn't increase the damage, unlike on the wind side where tornado and hurricane cross-synergize with eachother with different fucking damage types.

The fire druid skills that aren't fissure are just a complete mess.
>>
>>161781478
D3 isn't a bad game, it's just a very bad sequel.

Someone last thread pointed out, and he has a very good point, because of rifts, you are basically cornered into running only a certain number of builds because those are the few that are "viable" in that they're the only builds you could possibly climb the higher tiers of rifts with, and D3 has become all about those rifts.

Whereas in D2, there's no sort of system like that. The game is all about making a build that can clear Hell and kill effeciently in that hardest difficulty. While every class has one or maybe two specs that can clear it much easier than others, the gear you can find and the way the talent system is set up, allows for more types of builds, which, with enough time and dedication, will be able to clear Hell well enough. This combined with Runewords, trading, etc, makes for a game with longer lasting appeal and one you have more room to play with, as opposed to simply hunting for better rolls of what you already have.

D3 is a good game, it's just that it's a very different game from D2. And is more tedious in design.
>>
>>161783032
>Whereas in D2, there's no sort of system like that

yeah in d2 there is only one viable build per class.

i get what you're saying and all, but what you're saying is why d3 isn't an excellent *game*. nothing to do with why it's a bad *sequel*.

it's a bad sequel because the loot system sucks and is not fun. that's pretty much it.
>>
>>161783260
Hey, the necro has whopping TWO viable builds.
>>
>>161775353
yep. It can drop in act 1 as well.
>>
>>161783260
Yeah, I stroked out and had two different unrelated thoughts.

>yeah in d2 there is only one viable build per class.
Yeah, but the point is through gear and runewords, others become viable as well, capable of clearing the same content that the most viable builds can, just not AS well, but well enough to be viable in it's own right. While that's possible in D3 as well, the rift system essentially shames you for not playing those most viable builds via NEEDING to climb as high as possible for the best possible rewards (Gear, and legendary gem levels, and Paragon experience) which I think is where they really fucked up in D3. As fun as it may be for a time, it does kinda suck.

The loot system in D3 at first just flat out fucking blew because EVERYTHING fucking sucked, and you NEEDED to spend cash on the RMAH for good shit, but then now after they've "fixed" it, it just hands you everything you need, and slaps you on the ass and tells you to hope you get the exact same pieces, but better rolls of them. They did weird shit with the loot system.
>>
>>161784486

anon some of us never accepted duped item. in tens of thousands of hours i never had a dupe. i never had a rune higher than fucking, jah or something. no i had 1 cham, ever.

The only way to fix runes and hell difficulty at this point would be

I'm taking a break for now but in a couple weeks I want to play through the entire game (all quests and all uber stuff). I'll probably play solo unless one of you wants to tag along. I'm willing to acquire some basic gear from d2jsp (just some trading, I'm sick of MF runs) but I don't want to use high-end runewords like HOTO, CTA, infinity, enigma, etc. or other high end gear.

Do you think a pure bone necomancer could handle that?
How about a skellimancer?
>>
>>161787234
No, pure bonemancer can't do ubers. Skellimancer might be able to if you resurrect the crushing blow brutes, but even then I'm pretty sure Uber meph is the only one you can pull without him spawning all the adds. Once all the adds get spawned in it's pretty much game over for a summoner. Only things off the top of my head that can do ubers with super cheap shit is a smiter/werewolf druid that both focus on crushing blow. Even then you'd need a drac's or some other way to keep life tap up.
>>
>>161787614
life tap wands are cheap, but you'll need a shield with resists and max block for switch

>cant even muster up the energy to afk tristram runs

>>
>>161787614
I've seen people say summon necros can do ubers by reviving urdars and letting them crushing blow the fuck out of the bosses while spamming terror on the minions to make them run away.

How would you keep your minions from attacking the enemy minions without an enigma to reset them? Tele staff? I suppose it could be possible.

>>161787849
I tried using a lifetap wand on switch, but you just die so fast if you're not constantly doing damage. In my experience, life tap wands are only good for getting started on the bosses. Once you're in there, it's damn hard to live after you stop smiting because you get stunlocked.

I have to admit when I first played D3, finding Leoric's crown super early in D3 while I'm on a quest to find Leroic's crown gave me a good chuckle.
Then I found it two more times before finishing Act 1.
There's no joy in Legendaries, even useful ones when they drop every half hour or so, even if it does make getting a working build together easier.
And that number inflation, holy fuck.

Legendaries were pretty difficult to get at release. Running a bot and getting like 3-4 legendaries per hour was efficient as fuck. Too lazy to get flash drive with screencaps.
Then they had some bonus weekend for double drop rate and when it ended there was a huge fucking riot that the game is unplayable without the buff. They actually applied the bonus permanently. It was all downhill from there.

It does, but Blue drops have the potential to be Set pieces, Uniques, or Rares whenever the game rolls to drop a Blue, so it increases the odds of getting a Set/Unique/Rare by increasing the frequency as which you find better than average loot. The more MF you have ,the lower your odds are at getting socketed gear to drop, because you're increasing the odds that magic weapons drop instead of whites, and socketed gear is just altered white gear.

Where should the rest of my damage be coming from? I have A2 NM merc with Insight but I haven't gave him any other good gear besides the stuff I've found lying around. Should I concentrate on my merc's gear now? Will he boost my skelly damage if I give him the right things?

The only thing that get better by putting points in CE is the range, which doesn't matter much past rank 15 or something like that.

>>161815262
Also, getting a teleport item is really worth it if you're farming bosses. Practically mandatory. Basically you need to stack all your summon into a single dude so you can kill him rather quickly and start the CE chain.

But honestly you're better off using a real class that can actually clear stuff quickly like a hammerdin.

>+8 all skills
My necro is over level 80, I've already soloed through hell and my gear is way worse than yours, you should be doing a lot more damage than me. Hell a4 and 5 are going to be slower than other stuff because the enemies are really strong, not a whole lot you can do about that. Try to keep amplify damage on the enemy your army is focusing the most and put attract and/or decripefy on the other monsters so they won't fight back so well. Try to cast attract on enemies on the edge of the screen so it aggros a fuckton of packs into the same spot and you can blow them all up in one go.

The only things you can give your merc that increase the damage of your army are really expensive aura runewords.

>>161814969
The fuck m8, you max CE after skeletons and mastery because mages aren't that great and maxed CE is amazing for killing speed. They're alright after CE is maxed, because you don't really have a whole lot of things to put points into and it's some extra power and meatshields for your army.
>>
>>161815643
Can confirm, makes are alright if you're in wide open spaces but as soon as you get to an enclosed area they just fuck you over and all of your melee skeletons end up being stood at the back doing nothing. As soon as the mages inevitably die, the melee skeletons start actually attacking things and destroy everything in sight. One cold mage is the only useful thing to come from the Skeleton Mages skill.
>>
>>161815663
No. There's 0 need for maxed CE, waste of points and dps that you need for boss farming with revives and mage skellies. Real clear speed is all about teleportation so you can trigger the first CE as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
>>
>>161815367
>The only thing that get better by putting points in CE is the range, which doesn't matter much past rank 15 or something like that.

With items I now have 35 points on ce it having 14 radius. I maxed it and would put even more points to it if it was possible. When you get high radius on it, it turns into a completely different skill. You can blow up stuff half screen away. You no longer need to get the first corpse out of a mob with merc and skeletons because the radius is large enough for you to chain from last mob pack you killed.
>>
>>161815919

And the more points you put into revive, the more likely they'll start to become wasted because of the time limit on revives. It's not practical to have a huge army of them because they'll just start timing out.

there is no quick way. the fastest way to get uniques is hell meph, but its incredibly slow for high runes, and youll ever get rich doing it. to make any kind of dent in your economy you have to get to hell chaos and run it 1000 times. any of the other area level 85 places work but they might take you like 1200-1500 runs. chaos is just good man, its like, good.

Also holy shit the game has some stupid mechanics for molten boulder, it can actually knockback/multihit greater mummies, venom lords and council members, but someone decided it should stop on stuff like tainteds, finger mages and the slave demons in act5. Also it phases through Izual and if you pull him along the boulder's path so he keeps standing in it he takes a fuckton of damage, except the same doesn't work on other boss monsters and it stops on them instead of phasing.

Is it a good idea to use the full trang-out set on a skellimancer? Or is it better to use only part of it?

Homonculus seems like a much better shield if not using poison and the helm looks pretty bad, but the full set would give some significant resists including 25% physical, plus another +3 skills.
>>
>>161853217
When you guys keep talking about wealthy and rich and expensive builds...are you referring to real money? I get the feeling you're not talking about gold
>>
>>161853476
Stacking that much resists isn't so important for a skelemancer, when you're camping behind your army there's only a handful of enemies in the game that can even touch you.
>>
I have an extra jade figurine somehow despite doing the quest on norm already, will it poof when I enter nm?

>>161853639
Wealth = rare items, rare runes, etc. You could pay real money (or d2jsp forum gold) if you wanted to, or you could do tons of runs through the game to pick up valuable loot and then spend innumerable hours trading for better and better items until you acquire the good stuff.

The point is, if you're playing alone or with friends and don't go out of your way to play the economy minigame then you won't have so-called wealthy gear.
>>
>>161853639
Gold is worthless, by wealth people refer to good items in high demand and especially rare runes.

I suspect the culprit is actually the "gemmed" prefix, which counts as a magical effect. Weapons with magical effects can't have runewords.

Aside from cursing and corpse exploding, what should a skellimancer be doing when his minions are fighting?

Is it a good idea to get a weapon (a bow perhaps) and attack alongside your minons?

I've heard that "Beast" is a very popular skellimancer weapon, do people typically transform into a werebear and attack with it?

Are any weapons particularly suitable for necromancers?

Is it? Even on the highest Torment levels? I remember it being good for... something.

I haven't consistently played in almost a year. I think you might be right, where farming rifts was the most optimal way to get Breaths.
>>
>>161887981
I haven't played in a couple seasons, so idk how much has changed.
Last time I played, you'd do the highest torment in regular rifts to farm DBs. With in-geom and some other shit you'd keep the buff up 100% of the time and cleared rifts in 1min. Getting hundreds of DBs an hour.
>>
>>161888374

Primary problem being, I need DB's so I can make legendaries/set items, so I can do higher torment levels, so I can farm DBs, so I can try to get ancients, so on, so forth. But currently, even torment 10 is kicking my teeth in on my monk.

>>
>>161892740
>jab
no
>charged strike
it's pretty much the highest damage ability in the game so yes probably invest in it
>>
>>161892740
first max lightning fury and charged strike
1 in all passives
points in pierce until it's at 9 with +skills to get 100% pierce with razortail
after that synergies in power strike, lightning bolt and lightning strike to 20

you pretty much need max level to complete this build
you can leave out the left side of passives if you don't want it, but decoy is really useful
>>
>>161893449
Fuck pierce and fuck razortail imo. Anything you're using Lightning Fury on is going to die in a jav or two, and whatever is left has enough hp that its better and faster to just CS them all one by one and while this is all going on you're probably taking a bunch of Burning Soul's lightning bolts to the face so a TGods is really a must. here.

Left side of the passive tree is not optional either. Decoy is a must and if you've gone that far you may as well have your valkyrie too.

No they were normal mobs. I just googled and the poison clouds also apparently deal physical damage at a fast pace.

It was concentrate build, so the playstyle is very safe anyway. The damage just came out of the blue for me.

Yes, keep the arm on your switch weapon because you can equip that when you're building your army then switch back to HOTO once you have all your summons. Skellies don't vanish if you unequip an item that is giving you a lot of +'s to them. You will just hit your limit if they die and you try to summon the same amount again which is when you switch back to the arm.

you've clearly never experienced cold/decrep+dodge lock. the passive dodge skills are actively bad on any build that uses CS (unless you're a farcast scripter) because you'll get locked into repeated dodge animations with any amount of slow effect on you.
>>
>>161908250
In what situlation does that become relevant? Javazons use charged strike to burn through singled out targets and don't generally run into melee with masses of enemies. One point in the evasion skills adds tons of survivability, and also lets you get valk.

>there is a point between useless and godmode infinity merc where you're not going to be able to LF through Achmel's self-healing
hmm that has not been my experience. I could kill them at level 70 with a total of +7 skills (+3 gloves/+2 weapon/+2 armor) thought it did take half a stack of javs and a lower resist wand.

Also, and this is incidental really, but CS does not hit like CS on those unravellers they don't soak up all the charges or something but whatever it is almost always just better to LF them even if you can stand in there and CS.

I can't think of the name of the mob but dual weilding axe guys in a5 and maybe like packs of flayers, things that can attack fast enough to keep you locked in the dodge animation, you might have a point.

The strength requirement is the single biggest reason why people use light armor, but to be honest it's definitely a perfectionist thing.

I made the mistake of using Archon Plate for my Enigma on my necro a few years ago and I genuinely fucking hated the look of it, those stupid red pants pissed me off to no end.

How exactly does the movement penalty work? For example, trang's armor give +40% frw but is heavy (-10%) so does it really give 30%? Or is the 10% subtracted at the end, so if you had 40% from boots 20% from your belt 40% from armor 30% from an amulet 20% from a necro head and 36% from vigor the armor would slow you down by a lot more?

I remember back on 1.09 people used to value chipped gems just as much as perfect gems. Why was that?

>>161943212

wew, my very last roll too

what is that, like 2 fals at least? maybe even a lum?

>>161943212
item crafting, its just another way to roll for nice stats on a white item. i think thats why at least.

i remember i traded 40 chipped for a soj once.

>>161942529
lots of builds can solo hell purely selffound, but ubers with minimal gear is the smiter's specialty. no other class comes close in terms of how cheap you can do it.

>>161943341
yeah, later in the ladder you can usually get an ist for 40 pgs
they're used for crafting and rerolling high level charms. rubies and amethysts are worth more than other gems

What is Trang-Ouls armor generally worth?
>>
>>161949503
I don't think it's desired by most necromancers.
>>
>>161946459
because +3 skillers are somewhat common in Hell
any blue necklace with "value" will have a nice 2nd stat to go with the +3 to cold skills

i'm blind, definitely a pul at minimum

If you're trying to sell it - absolutely nothing, no more than 35000 ingame gold
If you're trying to buy it - a full inventory of high runes, hellfire torches, 290s, 3/20/20s, etc.
