    Anything Goes D2 Lounge!

    I hate flayers with a passion at least. The jungles are long but the most infamous slog to me is getting through all the blasted barricades in Act V. Some characters even thrive on all the juicy leechable living enemies aftert he dry fare of the deserts and tombs. I definitely disagree about...

    Quest: Maxed Skills Grail

    That is a very inspiring patriarch. Especially that you enjoyed the character even with a low investment in offensive skills. Really interesting idea to use synergized charges of holy bolt.

    Matriarch Ono, the Bladesin

    All that stellar gear and still she looks so unhappy...:rolleyes: How would the build have fared untwinked, do you think? How did Sharyn do, apart form dying with her employer those two times?

    Patriarch RayDeEnt, Gris’ Avenger (D2R)

    @TheNix He hits very hard for a one-hander, but I would be scared of going into the fray without those sockets stuffed with Sol runes and some cursing. Weakening gloves perhaps. And maybe a chromatic amulet of life everlasting instead of Mara's. Nothing wrong with glass rams as such but...

    Seven Self-reliant Saviours of Sanctuary - Kartongen's untwinked sept

    Battle cry is a ridiculous one point wonder. Like taunt for that matter. How's the merc doing, did he make it through normal too? Or she if you switched back to a rogue. Kaha smash puny crab thing. Kaha needs miniature giant space hamster to guide him but only rabbits are available.

    Matriarch Claws - 3366 ED Dragon Claw Assassin

    What's with the Mosaic runeword?:unsure: I don't have D2R so I'm not very familiar with it, why is it a cheat or an exploit? That's certainly an...extreme character. Makes me think of a cartoon cat (extreme clawing destruction).

    Patriarch RayDeEnt, Gris’ Avenger (D2R)

    Congrats on the patriarch, a shame he was not living up to the expectations. You've geared up for all offense it looks like, with enhanced damage and speed and extra damage from every socket...doesn't that make for a glass cannon character? Except that it is melee so, glass battering ram?

    Anything Goes D2 Lounge!

    If you max cold arrow, which has a huge cold length from the skill, and use a piece of equipment with "hit freezes target", for example iceblink, how do they interact? When the freeze triggers, will a monster be frozen but not chilled? Frozen and then chilled?

    INTRO THREAD - Bearzin

    Welcome @bearzin , watch your bear shins... @Ergro PDR usually refers to integer physical damage reduction (amicae, life everlasting, sol runes and so on) while % damage reduction (Shaftstop, Stormshield, Vampire Gaze and so on) tends to be called DR or %DR. I think LouB just mistyped since...

    Hard drive crashed...worst update

    Aw, damn, that is terrible! :( Don't know at all if this is applicable or helpful, but when my hard drive was fried by a power spike I could not boot up yet I could access some of the files when a friend helped me get a new main drive, and attach the damaged one as an extra. I don't know what's...

    The United Mercenary Thread

    The iron wolves now stand over Shenk's rotting corpse after having stayed out of harms way throughout a hellish trip and dutifully tanked droves of burning dead and vile archer arrows. Some observations: A resistant, gemmed blade and a resistant and damage reducing shield are going to beat any...

    Matriarch LotsaBlades, 100% CB Bladesin (D2R)

    I for one would be very interested in seeing how the warrior works with such a huge fade skill, but she would probably have to be maxed for it to have a decent chance. However, wouldn't the processed venom from Treachery have been more powerful? With all the blades from blade fury it should...

    HeavensRain makes Guardian, farmed LK, Keys, and Smashes Ubers

    Congratulations on the guardian! The D2R paladin sure has a snooty look about him...

    Matriarch LotsaBlades, 100% CB Bladesin (D2R)

    Blade fury in original D2 is not used by the shadow warrior, is that supposed to be fixed in D2R? It's an interesting character regardless, the blade skills are very underused.

    Would you believe that in real life I have a business partner who has asked for help with some marketing issues from someone named 'Rozana'?

    Quest: Maxed Skills Grail

    So that is why necromancers don't grow beards? I knew there was a reason. Did I miss what the third socket reward was used for? An Eth for the razor's edge otherwise seemed like it could be handy. Clerics are excellent beginner characters...I have heard. Make sure to make snarky comments about...

    Quest: Maxed Skills Grail

    Rumours have it that Rozene prefers bad boys who can raise prime evils as butlers so maybe she is sulking and cold because she would rather have been hired by Immund? Hestia needs to hand her some thawing potions and a shelf of dark ranger fanfiction, then she will surely warm up.:p
