Random Tournament 2021 D2R edition!

Oh my. What a build. Too bad no sword or mace mastery, but mauls are excellent, and Berserk!

In Act II, Randomnipotent quickly went to the desert to find the Horadric Cube, even before fighting Radament. You want to know why?

Put in a Jewel of Freedom, slapped some Amethysts into a 3 os Breast Plate, equipped a circlet on my merc with 1-104 lightning damage and voilà! There is the One-Man-Show called Jemali.

As usual, full clears took some time, but were quite safe thanks to my skeleton army...

Duriel got swarmed by Skeletons and kept attacking those, so my merc was free to poke Duriel with his shiny Partizan.

The drop was underwhelming, but what can you expect from Duriel? 🤷‍♂️

Act III looks great in D2R, but it still is difficult to find your way through the jungle xD

Did full clears at /p8 again and was rewarded with some cool resist and life charms as well as lots of gold for gambling. Took some time though, because I usually have around 20 town trips per WP (probably even more) to sell stuff and to gamble away the gold from my sells.

In Durance Level 3 my skellies died to the Vampires like moths to a flame, so I ended up facing Mephisto with Jemali only. Thanks to Decrepify I didn't have to resurrect my merc even once.

@Vang for @thefranklin's Assassin

Set 73 replaced by:
40: 6, 15, 29 Claws of Thunder, Cloack of Shadows, Death Sentry

Well... that's a Hell viable skillset, pretty nice I'd say?

Good luck!
Thanks for the roll! And yes, that is my new forever set I think.
Deeds :(

Diablo got me at level 35. He was at a sliver of hp too!

It was going fine, then I resurrected the mercenary to get the killing blow. I tele'd next to diablo and took a melee smack which put me in hit recovery, and red lightning hose finished the job. Didn't react fast enough on the purple :(
Sorry to hear about this Daz! I am pretty afraid of dying to normal Big D, too.
 
@Vang need a clarification: rerolling maps is not allowed right?

I have my Might merc in Act 1 NM :cool:

(still working as Blessed Aim as intended, to compensate the lack of combat skill compatible with Holy Shock)
I would say it doesn't matter. It isn't in the rules either way.

BleedRunner has landed in Act 3NM
3u1oQFKl.png


Since last time, respec has been made at clvl 53 to Holy Shock, and things have been kept low on p1. Mercenary is now a Blessed Aim desert merc, in order to get enough AR to land hits.

Next target is a new gambling session, and LK.

Best find of this stretch: a Mahim-Oak Curio amulet from a pack before Andariel while running her. Also a 4os Bill, not used yet.

See you on next update!

Act 2 and I are not getting along.

Entry #3...roll me a random I guess. (Well technically 4, but my D2R lost character bug doesn't cut)

Rolling now :)

Character is a Necromancer

Skills are:
Set 8: 5,14,16 (Skeletal Mage, Corpse Explosion, Poison Explosion)
Set 19: 12,17,25 (Bone Armour, Bone Spear, Terror)
Set 20: 3,4,29 (Clay Golem, Golem Mastery, Decrepify)
Set 63: 11,15,19 (Teeth, Bone Wall, Poison Nova)
Set 81: 16,17,19 (Poison Explosion, Bone Spear, Poison Nova)
Set 95: 13,20,26 (Poison Dagger, Bone Spirit, Confuse)

Gear is:
Skull Cap
Armour 2
Bone Shield
Heavy Gloves
Heavy Boots
Belt
Demon Head

Bone Wand
Grim Wand
Dagger

Any Rerolls @Vang

I'd be tempted to re-roll 81 cos it is a double up on skills you have everywhere else. Only thing is if you got Poison Dagger from a re-roll somewhere else you have a hell build using only one skill set.

Serrafina Pekkala is now upto Act 5. Still doing /p8 full clears with /p3 bosses atm. I agree with @Grisu Act 3 is stunning in Remastered (though I don't have his issues getting lost :p)

High MF is still resulting in a fair few S/U but nothing really useable yet.

@Babyhell First to the key is the race we are in I see.
Well in fact:
- I never made a Holy Freezer
- I never made a Holy Shocker
- I never made a Charger and the distance handling will be something to learn for me as a one-click-zealot-player...

FRESH! Fun to see those baddies popping down while running around. Would be nice to have a run with synergies to experiment at full potential!

Time to roll a nicer LK map without a doubt, as Mephisto's one was awful, and LK was only one camp, close to the waypoint but it will be with no regret at all...

Only thing to point out for this session: a lot less of running, much more walking to have defense active. Being followed by a big group of tinies that pops by third to half of them is nice to see!
