edit : team is full , thx all .. gl w/ the reset !!

Hey, some input would be appreciated. I'm playing pluggy SSF atm and currently have a 94 frenzy barb , 94 cold sorc and a 93 java//bowa depending on mood. So the question is, I currently use the downloaded version of d2 from the blizz website right.. I don't play online so I dont really care that I cant access Bnet with the cracked cd code.

IF I were to switch to d2r, would I have to purchase an actual copy from blizz? uninstall and reinstall everything and switch chars over?

Get ready for cow day, decided to give everyone a week to get your characters ready

The tremor in my hands has made it almost impossible for me to play and it's pissing me off.

With that being said, I really want to thank you kids for your help and generosity the past several years.

I will drop by from time to time, but playing time will be limited to the time that I don't get pissed off due to the problems I am having. If I can find a damnned doctor that can prescribe something to control the tremor in my hands, I'll come back to play, but shit, for right now I'm gonna give it a rest.

Meanski, I leave it to you to keep these damn kids in line, don't let them get too rowdy.

To the rest of you, behave for Meanski,

Love ya you bunch of idiots, I'm gonna miss ya.

Slash,

In the continuing tradition of our longstanding slash fantasy football league initially started by our beloved BigT, I'd like to congratulate Qourlite for winning the 9th annual slash fantasy league. The fact that this is the 9th iteration of our fantasy football league is incredible. Although there has been some (obvious) turnover over the years, a large contingent has been in the league together for years. I cannot take the credit for this persistent league; it was exclusively run by BigT until he passed away a few years ago. I simply wanted to keep the tradition going.

Before we get into this year's recap, I realized I never wrote a proper "recap" for last year. That sucks, and I'm sorry; my life has been a bit crazy recently. Last year was a weird story/final. The final consisted of the 5th and 6th place teams – TT and Qourlite. The final was extremely tight, going until the last game of the week – the Bills vs. the Bengals, which was abruptly ended by the collapse of Damar Hamlin. This abandoned game stopped the fantasy football world, including our league, with the final in the balance. Luckily for me as commish – TT and Qourlite agreed to work it out and declare themselves joint champions, sharing the 1st and 2nd place payouts as they both had a chance of winning. Congrats to the first joint champions of the league!

Current year:

This was an extremely competitive league, probably the most competitive this league has ever been. It generally felt that any team could win every week, and making it into the playoffs was more about the luck of the schedule than anything else. Fish came out of the "regular season" in first place, primarily due to a healthy team and Tyreek Hill. Funnily enough, he had the fewest points scored and points against when compared to everyone else in the playoffs. Besides Fish, the 2nd-7th place teams were all within two wins (really just one due to 2 matchups/week). Unfortunately, rnullen missed out on the last playoff spot by a mere 12 points. By far, the most unlucky player for the year was Njoy - he lost multiple studs throughout the year (Chubb, Jefferson, Higgins (injuries and form)). He also narrowly missed out on the Ford waiver wire dump and dropped Achane before he blew up - RIP.

Qourlite was carried to victory by CMC again. It tends to be a theme in this league – whoever owns a healthy CMC wins the league, which goes back many years. Labarr's infatuation with the floundering chargers (Herbert & Keenan Allen stack) brought him close, but their downfall at the end of the season led him to a mediocre 4th place finish. Fictious had the worst record because of Taylor Swift and Cooper Kupp's injuries. Titus had an excellent team but kept getting unlucky. His team of Burrow, A.J. Brown, Diggs, White, Aaron Jones, and Achane could easily beat any team any given week but narrowly missed the playoffs. TT was the toilet bowl champion with probably the worst team of the bunch, highlighted by the Bijan and Pitts stack.

M81, a usual strong contender in the league, narrowly lost to me in the semi-final and would've EASILY won the championship if he had made it. He had the QB1 (Josh Allen), great running back depth, and the Sam LaPorta $1 auction win. Rnullen, our sole newcomer for the season due to Luma disappearing off the face of the earth, narrowly missed the playoffs but won the 7th-place matchup with a balanced roster. Great job on your first auction draft! Kerm came on extremely strong late in the season on the back of Kamara (off suspension), Ceedee Lamb, and the Cowboy's defense. I thought he was destined for the final, but he underperformed in the first round of the playoffs vs. Labarr. I had another strong season but ultimately traded my way out of the league with some bad decisions. Looking back at some of my trades is depressing, but I still ended up in third with stellar performances year-round from Hurts, Mostert, and the Browns' defense. Lastly, Ninja had a quiet season behind a somewhat mediocre squad behind underperforming Jamarr Chase, Javonte Williams, and Cam Akers.

Draft board: https://sleeper.com/draft/nfl/1004225330443354112

Key Waiver Wire Wins:

1. Puka Nacua – myself and stupidly trade

2. Kyren Wiliams – Njoy

3. Devon Achane – Drafted by Njoy, picked up and dropped by me, and finally added by Titus.

4. Jerome Ford – Labarr

Overall, it was another fantastic year. We'll continue fine-tuning the scoring and settings, making it an incredible 10th year next year. To finalize the recap, I'll return to BigT's arbitrary team "scoring" settings – 5 points for a title, 3 points for second, 1 point for third, and -1 point for last place. These could be completely wrong; I simply took BigT's final rankings and added the last 3 years.

1. KPS – 11 points

2. M81 – 10 points

3. Qourlite – 10 points

4. Fish – 6 points

5. BigT – 4 points

6. TT – 4 points

7. Fictious – 2 points

8. nJoy – 0 points

9. Labarr – 0 points (always mediocrity, huh?)

10. Kerm – 0 points

11. Titus – 0 points

12. Rnullen – 0 points

Thanks for the great season and my favorite league! I'm looking forward to next year!

Happy New Year All. And may your findings and quest be the greatest!

Found those beauts in NM from the big bug act 2 while casually playing solo HC for fun 🐛

What is the best gear for a self-Infinity Nova ES Sorceress?

I’m currently deciding between two setups, leaning towards the latter due to Cure’s Redemption aura:

1.	Insight / Fortitude / Andariel’s Visage
2.	Insight / Chains of Honor (CoH) / Cure

Which one do you think is the best choice?

Please keep in mind that I will only be farming for runes, so he should be able to stay alive at all times in Chaos and Travincal.

99 Sorc #2 in the bank.

Ladder at time of completion. As a boring side note, #1,3,4 are all me; my support characters cleared Baal waves approximately 1,400 times.

Big thanks to KV for the infographic

Data dump

Some data about the journey:

• Took from 7/15 from 9/30 to complete (~75 days of real time) and 4,968 games.
• I had to travel out of town like ~4 times during this period so there were multiple stretches of inactivity combined in with the grind.
• Kills
  • 3,209 Diablo
  • 2,729 Baal
  • 413,064 Monsters (+about 86k monsters killed by support Necro/Sin)
• I did about 1,000 less Diablo and about 1,000 more Baal for this 99 as compared to last time.

Finds:

• 11 Arachnid Mesh
• 1 Griffon's Eye
• 1 Darkforce
• 1 Templars
• 1 CoA (Good rolls and 2s!)
• 1 SoJ
• 1 BK ring
• 2 Cham
• 1 Jah
• 2 Ber
• 6 Sur
• 2 Lo
• 6 Ohm

Notable charms:

• Light skillers with 35, 34, 27, 25, 24, 17, 7 life
• 19 life / 5@ sc
• 19/19 anni
• 20/19 sorc torch

Best p4 runs were:

Sorc/Sin/Din/BO

1. BO barb makes
2. Join, sorc makes tp for everyone to get BO at wsk2
3. Sorc clear throne, sin/din come in, setup traps 4/1 ls/ds
4. Sorc goes halls during w1 to kill Nihalthak, tp to center star or infector, refresh traps
5. Clear cs during w3/w4
6. Sorc goes a1 for shrines, refresh traps for w4/5
7. Shrine -> Kill D (p4) -> Tyrael to A5 -> BO barb leaves to make ng -> din tp from WSC tele on baal to slow/eat curse -> Sorc down -> unparty din -> Kill baal (p3) -> next game

Using this method, I had multiple games for 1k/s or better, which is insanely fast for p4. My usual runs when focused were 900/s or faster, dipping down to ~750/s in rare cases of things like multiple unbreakable immunes in cs, no shrine, or li/pi vizier.

Thanks again for all the games and the memories slash!

​

Howdy ya’ll! Been awhile since I’ve played d2 and I’ve been missing it, to say the least. Wondering if anyone has a rough idea as to when reset is? Historically speaking, I want to say there was a reset around early November. If anyone knows I’d love a heads up. Thanks!

So, I’m trying to decide what to do to start my first time playing Diablo 2. Any suggestions on classes? (I’m leaning more towards the magical than martial) suggested builds? Things to watch out for? Etc.?

I know it is early in the ladder

I've also posted this on the Slash Discord here: https://discord.com/channels/97178654240415744/97178654240415744/1129056891335618642 which makes the links to the finds way easier to traverse between. I suggest you head over to our discord and view this post there instead.

My end of ladder project was to share a couple of my favourite finds from the discord #sc-finds and #hc-finds channels.

I've tried to come up with some objective metrics, but the reality is many of these are my own subjective views and I do feature in a lot of these....yes slightly narcissistic of me, but it's also just because I remember my own finds pretty well.

###Best Start to a Ladder

Winner goes to Swisher on Swishers-Chaos for this insane start. Ber, Sur, Griffs, Lo + Arachs within 24 hours of reset.

Honourable mention to me here.

###Most Unusual Find

Winner goes to Korea on tymee for this. It is simply one of my favourite finds, popping a barrel in Frigid to reveal a Jah.

Honourable mentions to slic with a Lo from an urn and me again finding Jah from Den.

###Same Game Find

Winner goes to Sonnero on ooooooo for finding the famous 2 bers in a minute. Technically it was 97 seconds apart (and possibly not even the same game), but I couldn't see anyone else finding back to back bers in less time.

Close second would be fatty finding Dweb + COA within 3 minutes, but this would more likely be 3 games at his breakneck speed.

Honourable mentions to (criteria was 2 finds within 3 minutes): AWF, me again, barcode, trock, rnullen, barcode again, hellord, muse, toast, finally me again and this was legitimately in the same game, I've got it clipped.

###2 Finds 1 Pack

For this one I looked at the timestamp (to the second) of consecutive finds and Hellord on dk-nec managed to pop a Cham + Griffs from the same pack.

Runner up me again but it was only Ber + Arachs with the same timestamp. Honourable mention to Bacon who extracted a Cham + Lo from 1 cow pack.

#Occupy Killfeed

This one's recent and says more about the playerbase than anything, but barcode on itsmegod occupied the #hc-finds channel for 14 consecutive finds.

Honourable mention to Dadada with 11 consecutive finds (across 2 toons).

Spiderman Award

KV Moltres on KV_BadIV found 4 Arachs in a row a few ladders ago, with a nice killfeed to boot.

Honourable mention to QCJett who only found 3 arachs, but in less time.

Most Dominant Streak

Korea again on tymee with a streak of 16 finds over a 7 day period, all starting with the barrel Jah here and ending here.

Best Double Drops

This one was a tough one to find a winner, however I gotta give it to Vegetable on Brussels_Sprout with the 2 Griffs in an hour.

Runner up was fatty with 3 CoAs in an hour.

Honourable mentions to sl0pz with 2 zods in 20 minutes Hellord with 2 fathoms in 10 minutes Leffer with 2 chams in an hour

Happy farming yall and good luck next ladder.
