Found Ber Rune.... What should i do? SSF OFFLINE

Today i found my 3rd Ber rune. I used my first 2 to make infinity. The next logical use for this Ber is an enigma. but I haven't found a Jah yet, and its taken a long time to find this 3rd Ber. I'm currently playing a fully geared hork barb (he's using up'd skullders for mf) and i dont mind the running for Trav. I have a lvl 90 paladin that i basically use only for ubers.. but if i had enigma i would gear him for a hdin. the lack of tele makes me hate the hdin. I also have a lvl 92 sorc that i kinda go back and forth with blizz sorc and lightning sorc... i have a griffons, and nightwings. so kinda using my infinity and waiting for a deaths fathom to decide which direction i take her... BUT i was thinking a COH would be great for my sorc. I also have a lvl 81 jav zon that i am currently leveling and think the COH would be good on her as well... but i can't help but think that as soon as i make COH i'm gonna find a Jah rune, and then not have the Ber to make the enigma... IDK what to do... PLEASE HELP

Has there been any material release on what went into the decisions made during Diablo 2 development.

I’m especially interested in how the skills like the iconic frozen orb and lightning fury came to be. Or whose idea was it to create the summoning an army and making all that work. Tidbits on some of the items decisions and scaling them would be cool too.

Does anyone here use a mercenary besides from Act 2? If so, which one, and why?

SSG torch journey

Started up a while back doing SSF. Went with a sorc to charged bolt my way through normal before switching to blizzard. Beat hell baal and pounded terrorized Andy and moat tricked Meph for mega hours. Found enough gear to kill those bosses pretty easily on P7 and get a paladin going.

Holy fire and sigons paladin crushed through A4 NM. Then switched to hammers and grinded through hell with suboptimal gear. Once I got the paladin to 84 (76 for dracs plus a couple safety levels) I farmed up a keyset on the sorc, easily did the lesser Ubers on the paladin with smite, and went to Tristram. Meph one shotted me with charged bolt but I was able to get my body. Killed all Ubers without dying again. Fricking crappy zon torch was the reward.

Through leveling 2 chars up I was surprised to only find 2 Gul runes. But I did get an SOJ to convert into anni with the smiter. Kiras, 29 mara, astreons, HoZ, goblin toe, dracs, guardian angel, and tgods came in handy in Tristram.

Will do this loop until I get a few good torches. Could really use a sorc and paladin torch, but I'll settle for a necro next so I can explode cows and get over the HR dry spell.

Cheers.

WW Travincal Hork Barb Questions

I am getting more used to the playstyle of the WW barb when killing the council, but I feel like there are still some things I could do to optimize him better. I'm hoping that other people in the community who have more experience with this build can help me. Here is my setup.

Equipment: Um'ed Gface, MP Enigma, Trang's belt, 2x PB Grief, Highlord's, LoH, War Travs, 2x rare rings (leech, AR, resists, STR), double Ist Babas on switch

Inventory: Gheed's, Torch, Anni, Sharp GCs with minor secondary mods, mix of damage/AR/MF SCs

Skills: Max WW, sword mastery, BO, enough find item for 50%, enough natural resist for 60%, rest in berserk (playing on PlugY, so there is no synergy with find potion)

Stats: Enough STR for gear, lots of VIT, rest in DEX

I think I ended up with too much health. I have ~4370 health after BO, and this seems like overkill. It seems like ~3800 would be plenty, but I'm not sure. Would the points I save in VIT be better spent in DEX to get my percent to hit higher (around 80% on council member), or is pumping strength for more damage better? I am leaning towards DEX, since I like hitting consistently for both damage and leech. Is there anything else that looks like it should be changed? Thanks in advance.

Best class HC solo

Hello, I'm currently making Diablo Il Resurrected trophies on PSS. I'm missing the "raise a level 99 character in hardcore" trophy. I've never played hardcore. I would like to know in your opinion if it is better to play offline to have access to p8, or if it was better to play on the ladder for exchanges. And in your opinion, what is the best class to play hardcore without taking any risks and reach level 99 easily? THANKS!

Single Player Torch Farming

As the title says, related to SSF torch farming... Can we create a cube recipe to cube 3 unwanted torches into one new random one? I've been trying for a sorc torch on my grail account for months now and after dozens of successful attempts I keep getting all other classes. Just an idea for those of us that only play offline.

[SP HC] Best/most versatile 'Plague' base?

Hi all. I was lucky enough to find a Cham during my Chaos runs. I play exclusively HC in Single Player. No trading, but gear sharing between characters is allowed. So, that got me thinking, what would be the best use for the rune?

  • Socket it on an Arreat's Face (good for my Frenzy barb but that's it)
  • Socket it on a G'Face (more versatile, but limited to melee chars)
  • Make 'Plague' (most versatile, can be used by act5 mercs)

There are other runewords to consider, of course (such as 'Pride' or 'Doom'), but I don't have the required runes, and in the event of a Lo dropping I much rather make Fortitude (which I don't have) rather than 'Pride'.

So, I think I will go with 'Plague'. But I am not sure on which base! I guess the default Phase Blade would apply, but I am not sure if there are better options (considering that it will be shared between chars and mercs)

I do have a pretty nice claw, which would be great paired with a +3 LS 'Plague' claw, but that will limit the usefulness of the runeword to one character (and I would still have to find the 3OS +3 LS claw).

Thanks!

Javazon help

Been researching for a couple days now. Inexperienced and feeling overwhelmed.

Game: Diablo 2 + LoD v 1.14d. I'm using plugY and loot.filter mod. I play offline entirely. Not playing hardcore mode.

Right now, level 37 javazon on normal act 4. Random javelins, Armor +2 tirs, lore helm, plated belt, gorefoot boots, bloodfist gloves, arcanna sign amulet, ring of the bat + a nagelring. Doing fine for mana recovery and damage against p8. Building rhyme shield + caster ring, which is likely overkill atm. Already OP.

What I'm looking for next is a Javazon build to see me up and through hell.

Don't have dodge etc. because it trips me up, so no valkyrie either. Using decoy combined with lightning skills.

Hate jumping back to town constantly, so going for Titan's. Finding a shield+armor+helmet+jewelry combo is giving me a headache.

Have a random assortment of charms, tbh the whole concept is new to me, as are jewels. Any guidance on these would be great.

Don't mind grinding mobs etc., but have about 2 hours a day to play. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Want to get into Diablo 2

I come from a poe background, been playing it as my main game since beta and I've been watching people play PD2 (aware its a mod) which caught my interest. The only issue is that I can't find any in depth guide on how to get into the game. The economy, trading items, don't really understand what the end-game is and how and what to farm to make money to buy gear or to craft etc. Are certain stats important in this game like resistances, armor, block etc? Mercenaries and gearing them, what gear is important, Breakpoints and how important they are, do you need to keep track of it? How important are charms? Would be great if anyone knows a guide that covers these type of things.

You have not been online in 30 days. Please start the game while online to check for any login agreements

Does anyone have a solution to this error please? because blizzard’s ridiculous support asked me twice in a row to contact my internet provider… like c’mon, there has to be a solution for this

Still searching for an old friend

So many have reached out in regard to my first post. I’m still looking for my Diablo buddy from when I was in foster custody. I talked to some pals about it and I think razcel is the name of the guy who got me through the hardest time in my life. Raz if you’re out there I’d love to play again sometime.I’m traveling the country now. I made it home I’m not in a basement anymore.

Appreciate some advice to run Uber as a fire sorc

Watched a few youtube but I can’t beat Uber meph

, merc died in a few seconds, and marrowwalk bone prison also breaks quickly and meph just chase me around before I can do anything.

Current build: lvl 92 deep fire sorc, max on fire bolt, fire ball, meteor, fire mastery, 12-13 base points into hydra. 1 point into Static field, tele, frozen armor.

Gear: Helm: flickering flame, others: Tal/ Shako Weapon: Hoto/, others: Eschuta/Oculus/Spririt Shield: Phoenix, others: spirit Swap: CTA and Spirit Ammy: 29 Mara, others: 1 skill+ 10 fcr ,no luck with tal ammy Rings: SOJ, raven frost and other unique rings, 10 FCR rings Chest: tal armor, others: viper, ormus Gloves; magefist Boots: Marrowwalk, war trav

Merc: eth infinity, eth andy, non eth fortitude

Inventory: I think where I need upgrade: no luck with fire skiller GC, just some charms for res and some for life. Have a 73 fire sunder charm.

After cta I have about 1600 life, 1000 mana, and fireball dmg around 9k ish.

Can clear TZ 7p Andy easily but just cannot touch Uber meph.

I feel like it may be a skill or strategy issue, is there a fire build is more likely to succeed? Eg blaze and bone prison meph in fire? Because right now it just rushes into me and I don’t have time to place hydra or aim for fireball.

I need a quick rant

I want to start off by saying I’ve absolutely loved playing offline on my switch. It’s been such a ride being able to just play some D2 while I’m out or have some down time.

My only gripe is the loading times can literally be life or death. I ran the pandemonium event tonight with the standard smiter setup with CoH, HoZ, SoJ, CtA, etc. and somehow at P1, I still occasionally get one shot. It’s happened in the past and it’s not a big deal as I can usually recover my body back. This particular time however, Mephisto just happened to be by the portal…you can see where this is going.

No matter what, the second I’m finished loading in, I’m already dead. Literal no chance.

Anyone else have this issue at times?

Did they change the drop rates for keys?

Last week I would average a key for every 5-6 runs. Since then, I did a combined over 100 runs between the three and got 1 key.
