Runeword Extravaganza - 2.0

[D2DC]

Missed out on two entire days of rushing the last two weeks. Also had to get the MP Barb up and running. So, I'm still pretty pleased with getting everybody through NM (even if it was 1 day late).

This one took me a while to figure out why big D wasn't spawning..

Spoiler

Before I can get to the Hell forge collection, I gotta do some NM HF for crafting runes. I'm assuming the reward (Sol-Um) is the same? I will have to do a jewel count to see how many crafts I can afford, but I'm thinking of just going with the Ko, Lum, Fal, and Shae drops. I should get ~16 of each rune (w/11 possible drops)..

Hopefully that works out for me when it comes time to do Hell. 16 Guls would be nice and tidy for cubing up 4x Ohms.

Edit: Well, I've got a good 175 jewels or more. So, perhaps I should expand my craft pool.

Lum - Greater Caster Amulets
Ko - Greater Blood Rings
Fal - Greater Blood Weapons*
Shae - Greater Blood Gloves

IIRC someone (WoRG?) made a CtC Frost Nova Bow on striking from the hitpower recipe? I may try some of those as well. Maybe I should add some Sol - Caster Boots in there? I dunno what else. And, now that I'm thinking about it, making sure I have enough bases for these crafts may hold things up a bit..

This has been a pretty lackluster "Extravaganza". Time to get some of these RWs made!

Kinda average on the ED roll.. That's why you need a Superior Base! Damage is over 1K, that's all I really cared about!

You pick up a sparkly Polearm.

For the next day, you may not socket a Zod again.

 

[D2DC]

Hmm.. 19K on Fury Druid.. Should be interesting once I add Pride into the mix.

 

[d2lover]

don't go pride

unless you WANT your merc to be a cuck

 

[Excalibur]

Yeah, I don't suggest it either.
Reaper's is the ultimate weapon to go with such builds which benefits both you and your Merc.

 

[D2DC]

I just want to see the big numbers.

He's actually retired already. But, may have to play him some more now..

 

[Excalibur]

Big numbers?
Here.

after the sc2 battlebot?

 

[Excalibur]

after the sc2 battlebot?

Hmmm, what's that?

 

[d2lover]

Hmmm, what's that?

A.R.E.S. was a battle robot in sc2 wings of liberty campaign

 

[WoRG]

And somewhat before that, he was the god of war...

WoRG

 

[Excalibur]

A.R.E.S. was a battle robot in sc2 wings of liberty campaign

Ah no, @WoRG is right! He is named after the God of War!
If anyone is following my D2R builds he will see the naming comes from mythology!

Today you will meet Hephaestus, the Smiter of Ubers!

 

[ffs]

Big numbers?
Here.

Children please.

[Excalibur]

This is all elemental damage, it doesn't count.

 

[D2DC]

A low Concentration roll. But hey, I've never had Conc as merc option before.

 

[d2lover]

@D2DC now make a teleporting strafezon on p8

 

[D2DC]

Let's keep things moving along. I had a perfect 60 def Diadem. Unfortunately, my highest Hyperion is 130 def, so that one will have to wait for now.

Spoiler

A PERFECT ROLL!! (on +defense..)
- Resists = good
- MF% = not so good

 

[d2lover]

for a bearsorc? I think Trollnest is best

I know most people go Trollnest, but I like the look better. Bones don't conduct electricity you know.
