@tokerdin Correct term in this case would be ATMA-bugging, no Zods were harmed during the process
It's a subject that just got one thread closed so it's better we don't get too much into it here. You can find all the relevant info from
this thread.
@Gripphon Thanks! And nice video with the Oaths. I've been thinking of making a video without time travel gear (2xGrief PB, 1.13 Charms and LoH) on the same map, to test out what's the difference. That would however require respeccing, so that'll have to wait for now. But that video kinda serves the same purpose. I think the added range from BAs might actually serve greater purpose than the added damage, at least from the quality-of-life perspective.
I also gave a thought to replacing one GC with Warcry skiller back when I was choosing the charms, but didn't consider switching out Gheed's. That is pretty solid option, and I might try it, especially because my MF quota is pretty much full as far as this round is considered. I might also finally switch out the PTopaz from the Arreat's to ED jewel, just to squeeze out as much damage as possible. I'd loose 62 MF from those changes but I'm ok with it at this point.
But even though the Barb is fun, Sorc still wins imo. It's not only the loot thing, it's also the ease-of-use not needing to bother with weapon switch, not needing to worry about mana burn etc. Barb is fun in small incerements, but has too many moving parts. It's just easier to farm stuff with Sorc.

Well, maybe I can figure out some use for the bow one.
7 and half hours done of the second set. Qualifiers don't really inspire much so far, but I think I can actually finish this set, if all goes well.
