"Kampfbefehle"... Wow, "Battle Orders" in German sounds like a metal band. Like, more than the German language does on average. I mean, just "Bitte!" would be a wonderful name for a metal band.

Some Rune drops update:


Another Lo from Travincal means I can finally make a Phoenix (cubed up all my Um to Gul runes in the process).

Got quite a return as well while playing through my Phoenix builds..

Vex en route the first time to Andy.

Lo & Ohm while farming Andy to replenish my Ravenfrost stock.

And personally the best Jade Figurine drop ever. I've always thought that Spider Forest is still Ber territory.

Really lucky considering my next 2 runeword projects require Doom and HoJ. Now it's all down to deciding whether to make the former now, or wait for a Sur drop for the latter.

Other random finds from last week:
2x SoJs 3 days off of each other from Trav.
An Arcanna's Sign with the design I've been missing from collection
And a perfect common item:

Two out of three Zods gone with the wind 😅 And I used all three of those weapons on the same Patriarch playthrough. No repairs were made 😎
 
Pretty much every step into clvl 97 meant my 1.11b Hammerdin was at my highest clvl ever but here it is officially and non-degradable:

Screenshot168.jpg

My first clvl 98 :) . In the past I've only been interested in establishing a character's 'proof of concept' and then moving on. However, when I got back into Diablo II last summer, two of my goals included creating a clvl 99, and if not finishing, then making some progress on my grails (-6 Career, -7 Single Player). At the start, my slow rate of progress in leveling through clvl 97 made me question anew if high level leveling was really for me. But then again, I had my clvl 99 goal and I had spent three and a half months coming up with the gear for this 1.11b Hammerdin (compared to only a mere month and three weeks of play as of reaching clvl 97), so onward I went. Five weeks later and here I am sitting at clvl 98 looking back fondly at my passage through clvl 97 wondering at the fact that I found not one but two grailers! So without further adieu, the loot:

I had barely started into clvl 97 when this dropped:

Stormlash
Scourge
One-Hand Damage: 10 to 281
Durability: 53 of 65
Required Dexterity: 77
Required Strength: 125
Required Level: 82
Mace Class - Very Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 99
Fingerprint: 0x221ab91f
+252% Enhanced Damage
Adds 1-473 lightning damage
30% Increased Attack Speed
150% Damage to Undead
Attacker Takes Lightning Damage of 30
33% Chance of Crushing Blow
+3 Lightning Absorb
20% Chance to cast Level 18 Tornado on striking
15% Chance to cast Level 10 Static Field on striking

I bothered to screen shot it but my expectations were extremely low. I grabbed it, went to the next game, showed it to Cain, went to my favorite vendor and took a look. Meh, another Stormlash ... wait ... Stormlash?! ... STORMLASH! This is the one item that I'd found on Bnet but hadn't found again in my six years of SP. The last and only other time I'd found one of these was fall 2006. I'd just started playing, had no real idea of what I was doing, but did know that Hell Mephisto could drop some good items. I was playing on Bnet (though mostly solo) which meant my runs were 'players 1' and limited to ten per hour (or, you know, Blizzard would ban you ... but let's not divert down that rabbit hole ...). Anyhow, in what was probably one of my luckiest finds ever, I found a 'players 1' Stormlash at Hell Mephisto. Then I vendored it. Okay, I didn't. But I very nearly did and frankly it could have gone either way. I had no idea what I had just found. I'd been looking for caster gear (I don't recall what ... and probably didn't even know then ...) so it was clear that the Stormlash was of no immediate use to me so I was going to sell it to Jamella for a few coins but then recalled seeing games with names like 'BR1NG L4SH' and managed to work out that what I had must be said desirable item. I had no interest in trading but stashed it away anyway thinking I might want it someday. I ended up using it on a mostly walking solo PvE Smiter (did I mention I really had no idea what I was doing). It was still fun though. Almost whenever I did join a group someone would ask: 'Is that a Stormlash?! Wow! How much did you have to pay?' And I would proudly get to respond: 'I found it myself!' As for this Stormlash, I don't have any immediate plans but I've got plenty of ideas! Maybe once my Hammerdin hits 99 I'll try them all!

My other grailer came near the end of clvl 97:

Screenshot165.jpg

You'll notice that there's not a lot of gold or potions lying around. I realized right away when I started running P8 Throne/Baal that I'd have to pick those up or there'd be so much debris on the screen that something great might get left off. This is where spending that extra time/effort paid off. I'd just defeated Ventar's wave, hit 'Alt', didn't see anything interesting, started picking up the trash potions and gold piles, hit 'Alt', and there it was my first 1.10+ unique Thunder Maul (shaft of light shining down and angels singing out not included ... but imagined). So no matter what it turned out to be it was going to be a grailer:

Earth Shifter
Thunder Maul
Two-Hand Damage: 128 to 698
Durability: 56 of 60
Required Strength: 253
Required Level: 69
Mace Class - Slow Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0xd30d7694
+288% Enhanced Damage
10% Increased Attack Speed
10% Faster Cast Rate
150% Damage to Undead
33% Chance of Crushing Blow
+7 to Elemental Skills (Druid Only)
25% Chance to cast Level 14 Fissure on striking
Level 14 Volcano (24/30 Charges)

At the time I identified it I had no preference as to the outcome. Having given it some thought I'm glad that it turned out to be an Earth Shifter. Earth Shifter is the sort of item I can really get behind: It opens up a new build. It has reasonably desirable stats. And perhaps most importantly, it has a required clvl that will let you use it as you play through Hell ... versus Cranium Basher's seemingly insane required clvl of 87 ... 87!? So first I do a full clear of Hell at a high players setting ... then I level a little more ... and then I can (in all likelihood) downgrade to a Cranium Basher ... I don't get it. But I do get Earth Shifter and once my Hammerdin hits 99 I definitely see making an Earth Shifter Druid ... and maybe a matching Windhammer Druid (I've done it before but I recall if being fun) ... and ooh, a Druid that uses the ctc Tornado on my new Stormlash ... and oh ... (you can see why I've never taken a character to level 99 before) ...

Other notable drops included:

A perfect Arreat's Face, a strong roll on a Spirit Ward (the unique, not the rune word), a 10/13 Azurewrath, nearly back to back Grandfathers from Baal, my favorite and most used TC3: Rixot's Keen, Bul-Kathos' Colossus Blade, Immortal King's Sacred Armor x2, and Tal Rasha's Lacquered Plate x4 (I know the x2 and x4 doesn't make them seem very notable, but when I started clvl 97 I hadn't found any ...).

I finally found one of these and it's a pretty nice roll too ... not that I'm really interested in anything except the +5% xp. This is hanging out in my Horadric Cube with my merc's switch weapon for Baal (Kelpie Snare). +5% xp isn't a lot, but it doesn't take much effort to get either so why not (y) .

Speaking of Baal, better get back to it or I'll never hit clvl 99!

Oh, and since I made some grail progress, here's what's left:

Tyrael's Might Sacred Armor
Ghostflame Legend Spike
Astreon's Iron Ward Caduceus
Dragonscale Zakarum Shield
The Cranium Basher Thunder Maul* (I have found the 1.07 version)
 
Two out of three Zods gone with the wind 😅 And I used all three of those weapons on the same Patriarch playthrough. No repairs were made 😎
My BotD was made in a 1.13 base and yet I don't see much difference in damage. I expected the 1.07 base to have much more damage.
Btw, your readout shows 250-1367 dmg while the in-game picture has 226 - 1367? Does Gomule display the damage wrong?

@Excalibur yours has a higher ED roll so that partially makes up for the current-patch base. Also why WP, you guys only planning to use it on Zealots or with other fast skills? :) So many fun chars and builds that benefit from faster bases...

I'd make one in a WP as well, even if it means losing a WW breakpoint. Just for the highest damage numbers. IAS could be made up via Faith mercs or other IAS gear.

No Ghost Spears either, by virtue of being sinfully ugly.
