A Breath of Fresh Air ... A New Item Find Thread

These are the results of a LONG period of planning. Just found out today, I had enough jewels to create these, some of the most powerful stuff you could ever wish for starting out:

Still in the process of finding 15max jewels "of carnage" for use in later part of normal. But when done, I'll save a little time powering through the game, and a LOT of time deciding what gear to use for that purpose.
 
Max damage jewels are the reason every single jewel that drops for me is a dopamine injection!! Dont forget 'of wrath' for +9 damage at level 8 ;)

Teleporting a few times to cover ground around TZ andy after she dies loses me 1-2 seconds each run, which adds up. But I'm going to keep that up. Here is one good reason:

Eueueum, hmmm. Pretty garbage rolls, but I'll still use it! :)

You can see in the screenshot that that's my berserker. I first tried it out on my shock zealot and it was a bit underwhelming. Grief is a much better main hand weapon, and Zeal puts out way more dps than normal attack with a bear. Oh well, that was still a bit fun, and I'll try out a palabear at some point.

The berserker is where I think I'll get some traction b/c I think that I can turn that into a wolfbarb without even a respec. :)

Edit: I forgot to add this:

@snickersnack I also made "Beast" in a Caduceus. I know Bearsorcs aren't so great in D2R, but one bonus of making "Beast" in the caddy is that if you do make a Bearsorc, swinging beast in main hand can hit same attack speed as the Griswold's/Gemmed Phaseblade setup but with more physical damage with 40 IAS. That means you can put CtA in offhand for even more life if you like. Probably not in your immediate plans and not worth the runes, but just a thought.

I already have a character for this, he'll be happy:

Is TZ Radament worth farming? Preliminary runs say no, but glad to have second and third opinions.

Do you mean CtA on switch? I've never done a bearsorc, so I'm not sure what normally goes on switch...

I don't want to deal with repairing a BA every 20 minutes, so Caddy it was. :)
 
@snickersnack Um, remember that all of those Barb combat skills aren't useable when in Wolf form. If you want to be a full time wolf you will probably want to respec. However, going part time with point into Berserk is a very viable option. Especially if you haven't dumped a ton of points into synergies other than Shout, since Shout is commonly maxed among Wofbarb.

Also, remember that when in Wolf Mode all of the stats in the off hand weapon, don't count. These would
Level 9 Fanaticism Aura When Equipped
+3 To Werebear
+3 To Lycanthropy
Prevent Monster Heal
+25-40 To Strength (varies)
+10 To Energy
+2 To Mana After Each Kill
Level 13 Summon Grizzly (5 Charges)

@LouB, well I still want to have a berserker, so it was nice that no respec was needed, even if the points in Berserk and Howl aren't used most of the time. The only restriction that I'll grumble about is that, thematically, the three horking skills ought to still work in wolf form, or even have some bonus.

I read your pat thread and I think I found a guide somewhere (edit: it was the one you wrote!), and I saw that the basic build often has spare skill points, so I wasn't worried about min-maxing anything. I still have 95 stat points unspent with 4k life when fully buffed. Maybe those'll go into strength to hit a tiny bit harder, or maybe I'll shift other items around to be more offensive and then pump up the life total.

@Snickersnack LOL, and that's another skill that you can't do as a Wolf - Hork! Actually, none of the War cries can be cast in Wolf mode! Only the Masteries work in Wolf mode. You get used to casting BC, BO and shout and then switching to Wolf mode. Best on switch would be two HoTO for +6 to all skills as Echoing weapons don't work on Werewolf and Lycanthropy
 
@LouB, well for now I'm using HOTO with a 6 ist PB (for occasional horking) on switch. I might replace the mf stick with a spirit sword, or maybe I'll make another HOTO.
 
I think the Sewers are a decent area (with certain builds anyways) for doing full clears and grinding EXP when Terrorized. But I don’t think I’d spend an hour farming Radament.
 
I need to know which Thunder Maul dropped as I'm missing one and it pains me, great to see a double gold 87!
That would be Earth Shifter. I already have the other one, and eth/noneth versions. Also eth/noneth Gargoyle's, so apart from the meme, that drop had no value to me.
