Hi, all. Bored on break, so I thought I'd stop by. RL: Got super burnt out in my career spanning fifteen years, so I started a new job about three months ago working as a microchip tester. ...Not as cool as it sounds, as it's mostly automated and all I really do is load wafers into machines and...

What a journey! Congratulations to the winners, and a job well done to all competitors! My final placement of fifth in the A85s came as no surprise in the end. Running 40+ hours with a live bnet D2R character and no real teleport options meant I was relying on a whole lotta luck to find items...

While I've got a few hours left in the day, I have to call it. Put in too many hours yesterday and I'm paying the price today, so it's best for me to accept my fate. Closing thoughts will be saved for the winners' thread, but GGs to everyone for being part of my favorite long-running SPF...

I'm trying!! :D :D There's a few hours of runs left for me, so I'm pushing until the end. Ubers with a FoHdin is an ultimate goal of mine after the MFO once I've got the gear for it. I watched a YT vid from a HC FoHdin's perspective, and he seems pleased enough with the build to do a 50+...

As someone who's running a full-time FoHdin, I'll put a strong +1 out there for it. A lot of what @Nano says holds true for me, as well. Very simple to use, pretty powerful at low player settings, and pretty safe even with lesser gear on my end (though I do run Redemption full time). It's...

Never did talk much about desires and goals this year, huh? Shooting for 40+ hours to run, and so far I'm pleasantly on pace. Besides being ever hopeful for finding the item-which-must-not-be-named, I'd be stoked with a top 3 finish. I believe it unlikely, though. Nearly every choice I've...

Weekend results send to Phineas. 350 Pit runs with the live bnet FoHdin so far. May not sound like many compared to most, but considering I'm running random maps and I have no steady teleport source... there's been some serious energy expended to do that much. Not much to speak of with...

@Coyote_Sly Credit goes to user Obliivescence on reddit: (Countess) 1 key 2 keys p1 - p2 1 in 14.43 1 in 483 p3 - p4 1 in 11.44 1 in 297 p5 - p6 1 in 10.84 1 in 266 p7 - p8 1 in 10.64 1 in 255 Key running in p8 compared to solo yields ~36% more Countess Keys, but ~46% less Runes...

Time to clear out the stashes before the MFO, so here's a few cool things I've found over the last couple weeks. First, my FoHdin's new toy which instantly replaced a lowly Spirit sword. Found it with @John Remedy pretty recently (think it was the same session as the recent Cham drop? No findy...

I am SO psyched this year, and if an end-of-tournament presentation idea comes to life (no promises) it'll be the perfect motivator to keep me going. Truthfully, I don't stand a chance with my set up compared to the tried-and-true builds, but I'm ready to get cracking for those greens & golds...

Been leveling a D2R ladder sorc since this thread was created, but I'm not feeling it that hard just yet. Leaning toward using my existing Enigma-less FOHdin in the Pits since it's a slow but powerful runner in 2.4. There's time for me to change my tune, though. Regardless of the build...

I don't have math to back me up, but I feel like it's more common than one might expect. When I was running AT hard in 1.14, I'd see a lot of overlap in item quality when popping its sparkly chest. If one item from it was a unique, other equippable items from the chest would often be unique...

I'm in. My favorite competition of the entire year, so I wouldn't miss this. Available for all three suggested periods no problem, though I have a minor bias toward shooting for option 2 or 3. Reason being, I'm torn on what build to use. ...Or even which platform. Either: -I join in with...

Welcome, non-believer. *kicks shins* :D Found a forum post from 2018 in a non-SPF location that corroborates your initial assertion (google searched for, "d2 can one blizzard shard hit multiple targets," among many other search strings for side research), but I can't verify the legitimacy of...

A touch more running with the FOHdin, including a couple weekend sessions with @John Remedy where we finally found our first Ravenfrost. He'd done a little work in AT during the week and handed off a pally combat skiller along with these two nice beauties: Then today I found these...

Been a couple / few weeks since dropping a random Cham screenie here after diving into the bnet ladder, and I've kept up a loose continuation of solo Pit runs with the FOHdin looking for some basic finds to start running the ubers. Averaging maybe an hour each day? Up to +6 skills on budget...

Hi, all! Been a good while, and hope everyone's been well. Haven't been playing D2R much since launch as my computer / graphics card have been unreliable and sessions are getting interrupted with irregular and unpredictable crashes. But @John Remedy and I have been doing weekend bnet ladder...

Yeaaaaah. I was very much looking forward to this year's competitiion. And the 1st half was pretty great for me -- 1,800 runs in about 24 hours. No super high-value stuff, but I was digging my time and got some nice grailers. Once we got to midweek, life got hit with sudden oofs. Once the...

2nd update sent. The last couple days have been filled with unexpected roadblocks preventing me from playing. Chief among them are a debilitating toothache that's resulted in very little and very poor sleep (and an emergency dentist visit today), and work stuff has suddenly & dramatically...

GG on the 97, @Grisu ! I saw the same 65% MF sprinkled in among my runs, too. My best guess was that it's not picking up on MF from gear and only recognizing the 3-piece Tal Rasha set bonus. I hope that's a "feature" of the run counter and not the actual in-game memory-read results. And IMO...
