Will post a proper update once Shaltara hits 93, but after spending half of level 92 in AT looking for a monarch for Spirit, and finally getting the second one I found to roll 4os, I had seven sets of Spirit (re)rolls ready to go. My goal was 33% so I could hit the 63% FCR BP a little bit...

Woohoo! Got a more correct spelling of my desired forum name. A small win, but a win nonetheless. I'll take it. Hmm, a brief re-introduction, alright: I have been playing D2 on and off since the beginning, although I really didn't get into it until ~1.09. I've also lurked the forums since...

@Dazliare One thought regarding weapon choice: Since your main source of damage will be fire rather than physical, consider focusing on a fast 1-handed weapon rather than something with high physical damage. High physical damage weapons require multipliers, which paladins and druids excel with...

Yeah, I think I had already selected it and was on my way to selling it when I realized I had actually seen a flash of something useful. With this helm, I should be casting BO at level 30 in Hell (2x echoing weapons, helm, BC), which is a really nice boost to health!

Welcome back, @Dazliare! Enchant + static + merc seems like a good way to get through NM, honestly. Between TP repositioning, the relatively high fire damage you can give your merc, and a decent radius static to soften enemies up first, you'll probably find that your merc can rip through most of...

@Luhkoh I think a lot of people are assuming D2 is next because after various updates to other older games (SC, WC3, WoW), D2 is the logical next choice. Doesn't mean they'll do it, but most of the other classics have gotten some "remaster" love. Given the relative success they seem to have had...

Anyone else bummed that there wasn't an announcement for D2 remastered? I can't possibly comprehend having enough time to learn new games at this point in life, so the D4 announcement was expected but neither exciting nor disappointing for me. A lack of D2 remastered, however, was a bit of a...

This is a really cool character. The Diablo screenshot in particular is striking and to me really embodies Brienne's bravery - sword fully raised about to be brought down, full of righteous conviction, etc etc. I am also impressed by that LCS damage, especially for it being an oskill! So of...

Congrats @skoolbus, and impressive pace through Hell! Always nice to see more finishers in a tough tournament like this.

Nice to see you back at it, @Babyhell! I've been playing more and more hardcore lately, myself. Definitely gives the game a different flavor. Are you going to aim for 2x Tir + El, so you can make a Steel flail once you hit A2 and can go Fara shopping? I used that when my (now deeded) zealot got...

Well it's definitely somewhat seasonal for me - nearly 100% of my vacation time goes to camping trips between April and October, and we also take a lot of weekend trips too. So yeah, I'm hoping to be more active again now that vacation season is over. But then again, life always seems to get...

Definitely godly for that stage in the game! Can't wait to see pics. One thing for the UT99er challenge to consider is to be VERY stingy with your socket rewards because you only get 3. I only highlight that point because although Arreat's is pretty GG for most barbs, it still may not be...

No major update yet, but I am approaching Nihlathak's temple - as an untwinked Conc barb with severe gear restrictions and glacial killing speed. All I can think is: Anyone have any suggestions for how to navigate the temple's many charging zombies? I think I have a reasonable plan in mind...

Welcome! Great intro thread, and it's nice to see how well you prepared yourself with forum rules and all (there are a lot of 'false start' intro threads). I think you'll enjoy the near-endless amount of guides, FAQs, mat/pat/guardian posts, etc, and will certainly appreciate how helpful this...

@Maltatai Let's just call the rest of those "maltabuilds" then. :p

@RIP Sorry about the deeds, but kind of funny timing to see that (at least for me). Just yesterday I deeded a fanazealot fighting the NM council, except I made sure to stay well clear of Geleb when he died. The problem for me was that I didn't check the secondary mods on the other council...

Those builds all look pretty wild. Probably some of the few truly unique builds left to try that haven't been tested before. Major creativity points to you sir!

@Maltatai Yeah, I thought my luck was pretty good there. Then after I used Bloodrise to kill Baal once or twice, he dropped Fleshrender so the upped Bloodrise became very obsolete in a hurry, but I guess the good luck just kept on rolling at that point. Still using the Fleshrender in A3 NM now...

Barb has finished A4 NM. Act 4 is always nice when play time is limited as it makes it feel like I've made more progress than I really have. But first, I forgot to show Meph's drop from A3: The Chance Guards were average (33%), and the rest was junk. It's odd that with this character having...

Hah. Very punny! :p Good point about the mana problems. Between Insight and the occasional need to fire off a lot of arrows very quickly becoming more and more common as you progress, it looks like a Shael + 1 other IAS source will go a long way. My earlier comment made me curious and it looks...
