Hey guys, I guess there's a rolling daily thread or something according to the sticky but I haven't seen it.
The long and short of it is, I want to know what my favorite netizens are up to today. What you been doing in d2, have you been playing other video games, and how's your real life today?
D2:
I been playing my hammerdin - oh guess how embarrassing this is. I loaded up my hammerdin after not playing him for years. I found that arachs a few days ago and so now I can have an arachs permanently on him instead of swapping it, so I was all let's do some chaos runs. I basically got nothing in 1.5 levels as far as drops. I did find a lightning skills sorc gc so that's neat, and some 39% chancies. But the embarrassing part is I was playing him and I felt so squishy and I was like wtf. so anyways I check out my guy in depth (looked at my character screen) and realized when I made him I didn't go for max block. That was after like 50 cs runs. Pain. Anyways. I died once at 93 which is not a huge deal. But I respecced for max block and I gained a level and a half! so I'm like 94.5 on this guy now I've been running CS a ton, more than I ever have before honestly. I never run CS because it's like super legit hard. If you haven't run it hundreds of times it's so hard. harder than baal runs imo it's like the hardest area in the game by far. Although after all that running it's now really easy for me I've definitely got a lot better. Barely any good drops though.
I've also been playing my
auradin Magus. I swapped out my dragon armor (with deep sadness) for enigma. There's just no substitute if you're farming. Runs so much faster. I've been doing some pits with him running enigma/grief instead of my dragon/sickass hand of justice caduceous. The main issue is repairing that Hand of Justice needs to happen every 3 or 4 runs or so, and it costs billions of gold. So I've been burning my ort runes. The thing I find so interesting about the full auradin vs the grief tesladin is that they do comparable damage feel-wise. Like the auradin has better aoe generally but if you're focusing down bosspacks then you want grief. However I would definitely be running my full auradin setup if my caduceous didn't need repairing every 3rd run for 500,000 gold or an ort rune. He's up to 90 now, having lots of fun. I also been farming andy with him for fun every 3rd run or so, for essences and jewelry. I've found some good stuff, like 40 unique rings (no soj tho
) and of course essences for respec. Tons of MF gear like nagels and some good high rolled chancies and stuff.
OVG:
When I play d2 I don't play other video games. I really want to play some Super mario 3d allstars, but my wife's been hogging the switch so I'm just grinding levels. She's been playing Sunshine and she gets so ridiculously mad at all times. She's not really a video game player although sometimes she'll put her head to it. Has no tolerance for dying or falling down or failure of any sort so she's constantly mad because she's bad. She's progressing slowly though.
RL:
Work work. within the last 2 years I started dating my current wife, we moved to a new town 1 year ago, both got new jobs, bought a house 6 months ago, got married a month ago. I'm full in the swing of my new job and doing very well. Pretty excited to be progressing and fitting in at my new job so quickly since I worked at my last job for 11 years or so (basically right out of college) and it took me a while to get good at that. I'm kickin ass though it's going very well and I'm very happy with it. My wife is similarly kicking a ton of ass at her new job. House is a lot of work. Anyways, always looking forward to getting home and checking the forums.
Have a great sunday yall and a good week, hope it goes by fast for yall and we can meet again Next Sunday
