Random Tournament 2021 D2R edition!

@Vang: I still get confused by how the weapon rolls work if someone rolls randomly vs. someone chooses the weapon types. Especially for Amazon and Barbarian (and the relation to their masteries - in previous iterations if you rolled a mastery but didn't have the corresponding weapon roll, you got a reroll. But from your post in this tournament I guessed that this time it is simply bad luck and you don't get a reroll, correct?)

Another question: What about staffmods for passive skills? Can I use a wand with +X to Skeleton Mastery even if it isn't a skilled I am allowed to put points into?
 
Jcake's Random Amazon

Skill sets:

Set 5: 1,20,23 -> Jab, Pierce, Cold Arrow
Set 7: 4,16,25 -> Impale, Penetrate, Exploding Arrow
Set 27: 7, 12, 29 -> Plague Javelin, Critical Strike, Immolation Arrow
Set 47: 15,16,20 -> Avoid, Penetrate, Pierce
Set 50: 5,16,28 -> Lightning Bolt, Penetrate, Strafe

Weapons:
Short Bow
Long Bow
Javelin
Reflex Bow

(not sure if I got this right - I rolled to decide randomly, if Bow or Javelins get x2 instead of only x1, then rolled for all class-specific weapons mingled together @Vang: Please correct me, if was wrong in this assumption)

Armor:
Great Helm
Armor 1
Bone Shield
Heavy Gloves
Chain Boots
Heavy Belt

This looks tough! Strafer? Immolation Arrow?

Any rerolls?
Re-roll Set 47 , the Short Bow and the Great Helm

Q: Staffmods are allowed to be equipped?
A: Yes, passives you benefit from, active skills if not on your set can't be used. (Yes, you can actively swap to a +3 wand to pre-buff even if it isn't a skill such as in your skeleton case)

Q: Amazon random messes me up, clarify your best please.
A: Amazon random for weapon specific is a 1-5. For Bow/Jav roll a 2, and 1 bows get two rolls and a 2 javs get two rolls. (You did it correctly)

Q: Random barbarian gets confusing as well, clarify your best please.
A: Roll a 1-5 2x. First weapon type gets two weapons, second gets one.

Followup: What if they get no mastery or a mastery they can't use (example rolled spear weapons and got a polearm mastery)
A: D2R wants to eat your soul. Your lack of knowledge and training from reading The Arreat Summit previously is not Random.org's concern really. The demons really can only be defeated by Simu Liu when he is wearing the rings, so try your best and just maybe you'll hit your mark when you least expect it like Awkwafina.


@maxicek If anymore questions after @Grisu post let me know.

My plan is:

Forever Skills:
Set 5: 1,20,23 -> Jab, Pierce, Cold Arrow

NM Skills:
Set 50: 5,16,28 -> Lightning Bolt, Penetrate, Strafe

Hell Skills:
Set 7: 4,16,25 -> Impale, Penetrate, Exploding Arrow
Set 27: 7, 12, 29 -> Plague Javelin, Critical Strike, Immolation Arrow
Set 47: 15,16,20 -> Jab, Poison Javelin, Freezing Arrow

Run as a jab / merc follower through normal, strafer through NM and then a Mage Zon for hell.

We'll see how it goes

Just adding this here for my own purposes

Weapons:
Long Bow
Long War Bow
Javelin
Reflex Bow

Armor:
Skull Cap
Quilted Armor
Leather Armor
Ring Mail
Gothic Plate
Full Plate Mail
Bone Shield
Heavy Gloves
Chain Boots
Heavy Belt
 
Edit: Radament crowd gave lvl 18 after another Andy run. Holy freezing now!

@Vang I guess we keep the previous scoring system?

I was going to wait a bit for D2R, but seeing these screenshots has my hype meter at 11. Can someone roll me a sorceress?

Looks like I'll lock 97: Cyclone Armor, Tornado, Oak Sage. Going to play my first ever wind druid (maybe I did one a long time ago) I'll have one synergy to start and get my second in hell with set 86+45 to give me a tank of a bear too then. Leaving lonely nightmare to rain down Firestorms and Armageddons.

Thanks! I don't think I'll be able to start until tomorrow, but I'll probably have some questions by then. Will let you know :)
 
Hey,, used to post on this board many years ago but looking to get back into D2 with resurrected. Can someone please roll me a character? Random class!\

Additional clarification question - I understand we have one forever skillset and the others may be used in one difficulty each, for example if I choose to use 2 of the skill sets in Hell, does that mean I get access to both of the ones I choose and my forever skill set all at the same time?

Got a solid 93 set with the double axe and some tough choices.

If either of my two last rolled characters need a reroll, someone else might want to get them as I'm off for a few hours.

Thanks in advance!

Set 31: 1,7,17 -> Howl, Battle Orders, Increased Stamina
Set 42: 7,11,15 -> Battle Orders, Sword Mastery, Throwing Mastery

Set 59: 26,27,29 -> Leap Attack, Concentrate, Whirlwind

Weapons:

Flamberge
Spiked Club


Armor:
Skull Cap
Armor 2 (Hard Leather Armor, Studded Leather Armor, Chain Mail, Plate Mail, Ancient Armor)
Kite Shield
Light Gauntlets
Heavy Boots
Light Belt
Jawbone Cap

OK, I think I have got it, just nobody ask me to roll them a character :p

A couple of questions:
  • So I can only use the starter Short Sword until I can equip one of my weapons?
  • Do I have to use all sets of skills?
  • How do you use four sets of skills with 3 re-specs?

Help for a tournament n00b:
As Set 42 contains mastery for 2/3 of my weapons, as well as BO, it makes sense to lock in this one?
Set 31 duplicates BO, so I could consider re-rolling this one, especially as it has no offensive skill?

A couple of answers:
  • Yes
  • No
  • Skill sets are additive: using 59+43 in a difficulty allows you to synergize Concentrate with Berserk. Locking 42 allows you to use the listed skills for each difficulty, as useful as can be Sword mastery and BO...
    You just have to consume your skill sets before entering the new difficulty, that's where the balance is this season...Interesting!

1. Yes, but you may use it until you desire to never carry that sword again.
2. Technically yes, but you may never place a point in one.
3. You decide which difficulty you use a set in, see example below:

Skill sets:
Set 18: 10,16,21 -> Battle Command, Spear Mastery, Bash
Set 31: 1,7,17 -> Howl, Battle Orders, Increased Stamina
Set 42: 7,11,15 -> Battle Orders, Sword Mastery, Throwing Mastery
Set 43: 11,12, 30 -> Sword Mastery, Axe Mastery, Berserk
Set 59: 26,27,29 -> Leap Attack, Concentrate, Whirlwind


Set 42 your thinking of locking in. BO and Sword Mastery with your swords. I like your thinking. You make 42 your set for all difficulties.

You reroll 31 and get Berserk + 2 other skills.

For normal you use 42 and 18. (You don't need an amazing attack in normal and Bash it is)
For nightmare you use 42 and 43. (Berserk will get you there through NM)
For Hell you need all you got so you have 42, 59, and the new 31 roll giving you movement options (Leap Attack) Physical immunity killer, Berserk, and Whirlwind.
