D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!

Re: D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!

RESET TIME XD i love it.
 
since the ladder is resetting...

I gave away 1os shako, 1os hoz, 1os ss, and a bunch of other stuff

Most of the stuff i got was free anyways lol


my question is this... when the ladder resets should I

A. make a light sorc for MF?
B. make a smiter for ubers?
C. make a _____ for MF? (insert good MF class i can start from scratch with)



PS. i just got my smiter to lvl 80 and have half my gear for ubers and now the ladder is resetting :(
 
Re: since the ladder is resetting...

a macebarb is a decent startchar, easy to get a nice dmg 2h mace, kills hard, natural res! and find item:)
 
Re: D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!

only good thing about nl is the sojs are really cheap there
so u buy a bunch
look for a Non Ladder game with a certain ip on one pc
then look for the same ip but on Ladder
tell ur friends the ip, and nl sell game
start selling those sojs and get a nl and l anni ^^

Re: Now that ladder resets on the 17th..

what are your plans about it?

For me, I hope there is some indication of a patch or some changes before I would even reinstall the game. I've pretty much ran out of things (the legit ones anyway) to do even in the current ladder, and to think that it is going to be the same thing all over again? oh well

i know what you mean by having to do everything all over again...

i just got my smiter his hoz, shako, dracs, and some other gear... but now the ladder resets so theres no point :(

atleast this time around ill have more time

NOTE: i started playing again 3 weeks ago and the smiter was 80 :D


 
Re: D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!

After just picking up playing again 2 weeks ago (and saying to myself 'they wouldn't start ladder again so soon after last year's reset..') I'm kind of disappointed that my hammerdin that just got off the ground will be vanquished to the nl realm where i never go...

However I'm super excited to see the new ladder economy grow - never been playin at the time of a reset, so I'm so glad that I get the chance to experience it. Maybe I'll even get my name on the boards.. if only for a little while..
 
Re: Now that ladder resets on the 17th..

Restarting is actually fun when everybody does that, the problem is not having anything new to go with it.
 
Re: D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!

That's way too fast! I wanted to take it easy this season and only just started saving for an Enigma!

Not sure what I'll do; probably start again but I might take some time off.

Imagine how many tristram runs will be up and killy andy, duriel, diablo, mephisto, baal games

Im going to make a macebarb but i need a build first


 
Re: D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!

why to roll, if nonladder's economy is constantly injected by new items from previuos vanished ladder? market must be too satiated of ladder only items :D

but the pleasure of rolling is gone and you have to use d2jsp :weep:


 
Re: D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!

oh noessss!
I had so little time together with my self rolled perfect death CS :(
oh well, I'm hoping they will give us atleast a small-tiny patch
 
Re: since the ladder is resetting...

I ussually make an orb, blizz or lightning sorc for meph, summoner, andy, countess (if u took frost things let ur merc kill her) and other interesting mf mobs

I make this to get some starting gear for my other chars (hsarus, the hellforge hammer or the flail from act 3 completely made with the organs), sigon, cathan amu + rings, civerb's cudgel and mid lvl gear, peasant crown, ...) and in te mean while equip her ofc

I used full tals, chancies, nagels and war travs at the end for mfing (400+ mf and killing speed isn't bad) (socketed helm and armor with ptopaz and was waiting to get a spare ist for weapon, had put a mf jewel in the weapon though)

the choice here depends on what you favor to play, its true a lightning sorc does more damage, and can kill more (less important lightning immunes in the game, the rest your merc can kill) but relies more on items, or thats what i find, the mana cost of lightning is loads higher then frost things



then I make a javazon to take down cows really quick (good place for runes, socket stuff and charms, don't use mf though, lowers ur chances on socket stuff or thats what it seemed for me) and she doesnt require good items either, i'll post what i used this ladder to murderize cows, it took my 10 mins or less to kill everycow (even cowelvis, your sorc opens the portal so no need to let the bastard live)

I used this item setup to kill cows:
titans
tal mask / gaze
shaftstop (any low armor will do)
thundergods (any other belt will do to)
ravenfrost / manald
crescent moon amu (dual leech amu)
sigon shield (cheap and gives +1 to skills ^^ )
sigon gloves (2 set items gives 30ias and 10ll and gloves give 10 str again more points to vit)
gore riders (any boots with frw is good to stay away from cows)
slap in any charm that you think is handy (transfer the mf ones to sorc ^^)

I socketed nothing and used the quests to give interesting items max sockets,
titans can not be socketed else i'd put in a pskull for the leach, u could put some interesting jewels or runes in ur items but its not really needed



Then I make a zealot with 1 point in smite for ubers, only thing you need here is cb and life tap (a wand or draculs or both)

I used these items to bring down ubers at lvl 82:
stormlash / heaven's light (on switch life tap wand)
ravenfrost
dual leech ring
nosfi coil
draculs
guillame's face
duress ap
metalgrid / highlords
herald of zakarum / griswold shield (3 pdiamonds)
gores / goblin toe
(this setup gives a woppin 98% cb, some open wounds and deadly strike so almost every hit you have cb proc + the static field from stormlash is awsome to so they go down pretty fast)



after i get some wealth together I start a cookie build / geared hammerdin (enigma / hoto /and all the tipical things) to go pawn everything (cept the ubers cause I have my zealot for that no?)

do not forget to trade stuff you don't use for things you will use (obvious no?)

ps: something else that is good to to start with is a fishymancer, doesn't require items at all u could play the game naked (the char, not you)

pps: sorry for the wall of text
 
Re: D2 Ladder Reset 1 Week Away!!
