I used to be a big fan of extensive write ups in the previous forum (it's cool to mention it, right? don't smite me, plox!)

This is going to be pretty bare-bones, in part, due to the fact that this character took around 10 years to complete. I don't know where I got the idea, but I thought that an enchant sorceress wielding a big, F-off axe would be pretty sweet....it probably had something to do with the attack speed breakpoints. :)

Anyway, I started my Executress, and got well into Hell before things really started bogging down. After some twinking, I mostly used a Passion Feral Axe:

It wasn't eth or eth bugged, or anything, just Passion. It worked fine, for a while.

I think it was act 2 Hell that got to be really slow going. Around that time, I stopped playing D2. When I loaded things back up a couple of weeks ago (sweet, sweet, backups), I found that I was actually at hell ancients with the character. I played my Zeal barb (super fun, super tanky, btw) a bit before dusting off this character.

I did some test runs in the Pit and rejiggered some items, and I was able to beat the ancients on the first try. The biggest change was that I dropped the Passion Feral axe. A two handed-weapon was just too low on defense. I switched to a Passion Berserker Axe (eth, ATMA bugged) and a Stormshield(pDiamond), then I switched to a Death Berserker Axe (eth, ATMA bugged) with Stormshield(pD). Death, despite being slower, and no zeal, was really effective. Most normal mobs on P1 got 1-shot, and most elites/champions died quickly. I still want to try with a good, eth, ATMA-bugged two-handed axe, just to see if it's viable.

Some of the details are a bit fuzzy since I usually play at the end of the day, but I mostly did countess runs and LK runs to level up a bit (opened the character last week at 81). Once I got to 85, WSK and Baal weren't that hard. I did all of WSK on P1, but I did Baal on P3, sight-unseen, having not fought Baal in ~10 years. It worked out just fine. (I've since restarted using my Fishyzon, and Baal/Diablo are #tooez)

Here's the gomule dump (many, many! small charms .... I have quite a few nice ones after finding a few, trading for some, and being given some):
(also, btw, these are not quite the Baal kill items ..... I swapped some out to my fishyzon to do Baal runs before I decided to make this thread and this is my best recollection)

Drops? Well, the NM hellforge was Fal, as I recall, but I don't recall the Hell Hellforge. I did a bunch of Countess runs, and I think I got an Um out of it. Now that rune drops are buffed, my meter is way off. I think I've gotten 2 or 3 ums and puls each in the last 2 weeks. Pretty nice by my old standards.

Anyway, pretty barebones Mat thread. Sorry. :(

Please feel free to ask questions, and I'll try to answer. I made a half-hearted attempt to restart D2 a few (?) months ago, but maybe this one will stick.

Welcome back @snickersnack
Congratulations on the Matriarch.

Edit: Great name choice too. IIRC Clytemnestra killed her husband Agamemnon with an axe after he got back from the Trojan war?

I used to be a big fan of extensive write ups in the previous forum (it's cool to mention it, right? don't smite me, plox!)

This is going to be pretty bare-bones, in part, due to the fact that this character took around 10 years to complete. I don't know where I got the idea, but I thought that an enchant sorceress wielding a big, F-off axe would be pretty sweet....it probably had something to do with the attack speed breakpoints. :)

Anyway, I started my Executress, and got well into Hell before things really started bogging down. After some twinking, I mostly used a Passion Feral Axe:

I wasn't eth or eth bugged, or anything, just Passion. It worked fine, for a while.

I think it was act 2 Hell that got to be really slow going. Around that time, I stopped playing D2. When I loaded things back up a couple of weeks ago (sweet, sweet, backups), I found that I was actually at hell ancients with the character. I played my Zeal barb (super fun, super tanky, btw) a bit before dusting off this character.

I did some test runs in the Pit and rejiggered some items, and I was able to beat the ancients on the first try. The biggest change was that I dropped the Passion Feral axe. A two handed-weapon was just too low on defense. I switched to a Passion Berserker Axe (eth, ATMA bugged) and a Stormshield(pDiamond), then I switched to a Death Berserker Axe (eth, ATMA bugged) with Stormshield(pD). Death, despite being slower, and no zeal, was really effective. Most normal mobs on P1 got 1-shot, and most elites/champions died quickly. I still want to try with a good, eth, ATMA-bugged two-handed axe, just to see if it's viable.

Some of the details are a bit fuzzy since I usually play at the end of the day, but I mostly did countess runs and LK runs to level up a bit (opened the character last week at 81). Once I got to 85, WSK and Baal weren't that hard. I did all of WSK on P1, but I did Baal on P3, sight-unseen, having not fought Baal in ~10 years. It worked out just fine. (I've since restarted using my Fishyzon, and Baal/Diablo are #tooez)

Here's the gomule dump (many, many! small charms .... I have quite a few nice ones after finding a few, trading for some, and being given some):
(also, btw, these are not quite the Baal kill items ..... I swapped some out to my fishyzon to do Baal runs before I decided to make this thread and this is my best recollection)

Drops? Well, the NM hellforge was Fal, as I recall, but I don't recall the Hell Hellforge. I did a bunch of Countess runs, and I think I got an Um out of it. Now that rune drops are buffed, my meter is way off. I think I've gotten 2 or 3 ums and puls each in the last 2 weeks. Pretty nice by my old standards.

Anyway, pretty barebones Mat thread. Sorry. :(

Please feel free to ask questions, and I'll try to answer. I made a half-hearted attempt to restart D2 a few (?) months ago, but maybe this one will stick.
So is 428 ED on Death a result of a Gomule display bug because of 1.07 eth base?

Nice Mat @snickersnack and welcome back! I recall some of your Mats/Pats from the Compilation and hope to see more come our way.

Thanks! I will have to come up with something new to try then, as I don't have anything in the works. Maybe a sept is appropriate?

Well done! The Executress is one of the many builds I want to make myself. Any future plans for her? I hope you enjoy this restart. Stay awhile and listen!

She's pretty good for Countess runs, and I'm sure she'd be good for MP with her high level, synergized Enchant. Other runs (e.g. Baal) are kind of slow; she doesn't really use many FCR items.

Welcome back @snickersnack
Congratulations on the Matriarch.

Edit: Great name choice too. IIRC Clytemnestra killed her husband Agamemnon with an axe after he got back from the Trojan war?

Thanks! And, yes, that is correct! (In part, she was avenging her daughter whom Agamemnon sacrificed after promising to make an offering of whatever came out of his house first when he returned home. Also, she took a liking to some other dude who didn't go around killing her children.) I wanted to go with a 2-hander (<-executress), but it didn't seem to work very well. :(

So is 428 ED on Death a result of a Gomule display bug because of 1.07 eth base?

Pretty much. The extra +50% ED is due to the 1.07 eth base (not actually ATMA-bugged, btw, since I never unsocketed it) and GoMule doesn't display it correctly. I haven't redone the calculation by hand, but the weapon damage shown in GoMule isn't quite right.

In-Game: 172-559
GoMule: 190-559

I seem to recall that the extra +50%ED only applies to the max damage, but GoMule applies it to the min as well.

It turns out that I had a couple of builds parked in early hell, so I regeared a 2-hander zealot, which is not such an easy character. I'll post another short mat/pat thread once he's done, and then I'll work on the others. Hopefully, I can soon enough plan out more characters.

I also got 1.07 working again, so I'm hoping to be able to rack an eth 2-hand axe, so that maybe my dream of matting an executress can be realized. Or, at least, I can find/rack/craft something that inspires a new build.
 
Grats! Maybe one day I'll finish an unorthodox build :)

Thanks! I highly recommend an odd build. It's even better if it doesn't quite work how you want it to.

can we have the old spoilertag back?

OP is a wall of blur (I assume readouts?), Yes I know you can click on it, but just saying.

Will read anyway.

I agree. Did I miss them or are they gone?
 
:)

And I seem to not have said yet: Congrats!

Thanks!

A little update on my current build. I got my 2-handed zealer up to hell ancients last night, and I'm about to go take care of that. I may be writing a new thread today or tomorrow....
