Anything Goes D2 Lounge!

Depends on what you'll find really. Usually, for SC, I think it is dual claw, since you can get more +skills that way. Until you find some good claws, your best bet probably is claw and Rhyme runeword shield.
 
Do ATMA text readouts for stashes print alphabetically? By item type? I'm hoping I don't have to move/find a ton of items from my crafted items stash for one big readout collection
 
Assume this is 1.07 so no GoMule?

Pretty sure it is by date added to the stash, most recent at the bottom. Been a while since I did this though.
 
Oh if that's the case it's not nearly as bad, since 80% of the stuff I've added most recently to my crafted item stash are these blood boots. Hm
 
I've had like 10 hours of playtime during past three months, until this weekend. As the winter holidays are approaching, I'm hoping to get some more D2 going on. A bit of a pause has made good though, every character feels fresh and fun to play.

So I'm asking, has anyone plans for MFO/RFO/Zodthon/Pindlethon? Because I would definitely participate. Even Pindlerunning feels enjoyable right now so I'm hoping i can use that good energy for something a bit more interesting.
 
I'd definitely be in for a MFO / RFO tournament of some sorts !!! I'd love to run Travincal in that respect. More HRs never hurt, and I still lack some jewelry, most notably Highlord's, and to a lesser extent Mara's / SoJ / Bul-Kathos'.
 
I don't think I would join (I found out during a Pindlethon that the large number of runs is not for me), but I like events like that. It brings the community together and I like reading the results.
 
RFO when?

I can host the event whenever players prefer it to be. I'm also inclined to make Grape to be boss of Zodthon as current zodgod challenger so he can host that event!
 
I have a question. I am trying to decide what base to use to make an Obedience runeword for my Fishymancer's merc. I plan to use it with a Guillaume's face with 15% IAS jewel. I have an Ethereal Cryptic Axe that is ready to receive the runes. IAS table with level 9 fanatism tells me cryptic axe wins at 10IAS 30IAS and 55IAS.

Question: Should I use a Treachery armor and go for the 55% IAS breakpoint or should I use a Fortitude armor and settle for the 10% IAS breakpoint but take the added damage?

Second question: If I plan to use a beast runeword on my Necro, what base should I go for? I keep reading berserker axe, but wanted a second opinion.

Thank you, kind regards.
 
I wouldn't go for beast at all for a necro. Necros have low AR even with fanat, and the damage increase isn't significant enough, as the RS skill %ED to the skeletons count as skill damage, same as fanat, so they just get added together. To make matters worse, all the necro pets have a 15 frame cooldown between each attack, which is NOT reduced by fanaticism, so the IAS boost isn't helping much either. Skeletons have enough AR that they don't usually miss much, so what little gain they get from added AR is negligible.

If you DO go for a beast anyway, I'd go with the axe because other characters may want to borrow it. Probably with the ATMA eth bug and an 1.07 base too, but I'm pretty cheesy. If you don't go for an ethereal base, I'd recommend a Caduceus, because those last longer before they need repairs. Beware the staffmods, though, they can make for very costly repairs...
 
Not to argue, but I want to understand. All across the internet it is mentioned Beast boost Skeleton's and mercenary's damage. Even in the definitive 1.13 fishymancer guide Beast is mentioned as a top end item to have. So are you saying beast does not boost damage or it does but not enough to warrant the price? And if so what is alternative? Surely a +skill item will be good for pre-buffing, but after you switch to Beast, no?

Lol, yeah !!! Top 3 of the RFO are obliged to donate their highest rune to @Grape's Zod god Sept !!!

That's fine!

Although I'm afraid I'd just sacrifice them in the name of Zod God. Ehm. Can I sacrifice runes to myself?! Am I a God?

Reality hits me.

I'm fine with any time. There's probably some very busy times ahead, but I'd most likely play some anyway.

I'd be happy and honored to host the next Zodthon, but up to you ofc.

Yes, it surely is a top end item to have, however it is very far from as good as it is described in a lot of guides. You'll lose at least one skeleton from switching, so keep that in mind. I'd probably go for something to help CE and teleport faster and more often, making for overall higher efficiency than what beast has to offer in pure theoretical damage numbers. What gear freedom wouldn't you get from using wizardspike instead? How much more MF, mana, life, etc. where you free up FCR/mana/resist items?

On that same note, many would advocate Infinity instead of obedience for merc. Same CB, comparable damage, but helps CE tremendously.
 
I'd prefer a MFO or RFO after the holidays, so from early January on. Doesn't really matter when it is past then, but before I won't be able to play much due to meeting friends and family.
