My guess is the =18 min damage.
So, I've decided to take a break from working on Pats and Mats and do some magic/rune finding with my Wolfbarb. Took Doom off and replaced it with Ali Baba with two Ist and switched out Laying of Hands for a pair of rare gloves with 20%IAS and 22% MF. With a bunch of MF small charms I'm runing at 347% MF and can run everything at what I consider a reasonable speed. and here is the first payoff on reducing my self grail.
except for the +4 to teeth that's perfect and just what the Bone Necro I just started will carry in Hell!

Thanks! My first batch was 5 torches and this larger batch was a bit more satisfying. Also, the runs went really smoothly, aside from one surprising death against meph where I guess I had missed with targeting with the lifetap wand.... Getting my body off the ground was easy though, so it wasn't a big deal.Nice! Congrats on the upgrades and the new one!

Now that I have one for each class, I'm not sure if I'll do any more, at least not any time soon.

That's so cool! Like others, I'm looking to try this as well. I don't know if I could resist IDing them as I got them, but this way is cooler.

Decked out my Nova sorc and finished off Baal. Rolled a new CtA because could not find my pre D2R one, and got a +4 BO, and made a new HotO as well. Enroute found a Highlord's, Ribcracker and Demon's Limb, with the highest rune a Pul from Hellforge. She's quite fun to play, as I don't play sorcs often. Think I'll use her to run LK when I get a good map.

105 characters divided by 23 Gul runes equals 1 Gul rune for every 4.56 characters. And thats just the straight Gul runes, too - it doesnt take into account cubing up all the lower runes. I dont know if this is as expected, better than expected, or worse than expected, but either way Im happy to have some rune capital again after such an extended break from D2.
IIRC, GoMule had a feature where you could load your rune stash and it would automatically calculate how high you could get from cubing. But these are 1.10s runes, and I cant remember if GoMule offers 1.10 beta support. Not to mention I cant remember how to get GoMule to work at all right now lol. So, it looks like I'll just have to get out the slide rule and abbacus and do the figuring myself hahaha

I've been getting a lot of Rare items and I think that this one is a keeper. I also think it's entitled to get a socket, but what to put in it?

I've been puttering through clvl 98 with my would-be-UT99er Lightning Sorceress. An apparent wrist injury has greatly reduced my playing time but I'm still slowly making some progress. I'm not at any landmark xp point, but I did just find one of my four outstanding career grailers! ... so I thought it was a good time for a post ...
In order of appearance:
The last piece of low hanging fruit in my would-be-UT99er's personal grail:
Not a grailer, but I don't find many of these:
Speaking of better rolls:
From Baal's P7 Plucked Chickens:
From P7 Ventar and friends:
Rare gloves that caught my eye:
And lastly, here's why I came here:
So there it is. With the TC 84 with the highest qlvl found at long last, here's the final three in my career grail:
Tyrael's Might, Sacred Armor (TC 87)
The Cranium Basher, Thunder Maul (TC 87)
Astreon's Iron Ward, Caduceus (TC 87)
And while I'm at it, here's what's left in my would-be-UT99er's personal grail:

This thing has eluded me through more than ten years of serious playing ... but no more! Wow. How I wanted this thing back when I started playing D2 in 2006. I was really into Paladins and Paladin shields. I really liked weird builds ... I had a couple Fireball Paladins. So, oh, how I wanted this ...
I'm more into optimizing powerful builds these days, but I will use this! This has just been a white whale for so long ... Watch out Sanctuary! Another feared and dreaded Hydra Paladin is on the way!
(Yeah. Yeah. Especially since 1.13, just making a Hydra Sorceress with Infinity makes way more sense ... but I don't care! Hydra Paladin, inbound hot!)

Just did LK runs yesterday, finding a coupls of Ums, then finally hit a Sur. The sorc is so much faster than my last LK runner, I wish I had changed a long time ago.

Fired up D2:R on my coffee break this morning (working from home has it's perks!) because my stashes are badly in need of reorganizing. Moved items all over the place, neat and tidy, deleted a couple of no-longer-relevant mules, and then I decided I had time for one quick pass through the Stoney Tomb with my Fireball Sorc. I was in the final room on the second level with nothing of interest having dropped, and then suddenly one of Creeping Feature's minions dropped me a Lo rune -- very nice!!! It's funny, I was just thinking this morning about a couple melee builds I'd like to try but I was a bit bummed out by the fact that I don't have 'Grief' ... now I can make one! I've had a 5os Phase Blade kicking around forever in hopes I'd eventually find another Lo (the first one I found went into a 'Fortitude')

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 sessions for the last month or so with the intent of eventually going for 1st time ever uber kills, and the inevitable itch now needs to be scratched. Running with a friend really helps keep the crash frustrations at bay.
With the 2.4 change to FOH, I rolled one up and got him to Hell solo with the intent to make him a CS runner (Homunculus drop along the way from NM Diablo during last weekend's MF event, yay). Act II was a real slog, so I eased off the accelerator and started doing a few Pit runs for fun and perhaps obtain some coveted gear. And whadda ya know? This little beauty drops outta nowhere. How weird it is since the next highest rune I've found during very limited run time this ladder is a dang Fal. *roll eyes*
