>echoing blades + all the synergies = massive damage>might merc for more damage>bind Hephasto with fanaticism aura and amplify damage curse>fanaticism even more damage>amplify damage doubles your damamge, but more importantly breaks physical immunes (echoing strike is physical)Everything melts no matter the difficulty.
>>733688230echoing strike not blades ffs
Retard didnt play the game, plus using the same stealth lore spirit spirit setup that every single metafag uses>inb4 every other character in the conveniently cut-out character select screen is a sorc or paladin Kill yourself.
>>733688279Classic /v/ moment. Also, if you wanna break the meta a bit, try a different merc setup. Mix things up with a Holy Freeze or an Insight for that mana regen and see how it changes your playstyle. Keeps things fresh!
why can you just set players on b.net alreadyjust let people set to 4 or 5 people already
Is Hephasto the demon of choice? I see a lot of him but also a lot of Lister.
>>733688630NM Smith is pretty decent until you get to A4 at least.
>>733688452>stealth nope>lore nope>spirit nope>spirit yes (shield)>sorc or paladinnopeGET REKT
the fuck am i supposed to do about fire immune rares as a fire warlock?
>>733688630Anything tanky and mobile. You really only want them for keeping agro and the aura's.
>>733688678>only two hell characters are sorc and warlock>pretending I can't see the scroll bar, and that I don't know you can reorder characters on the screenLmaoKill yourself
>>733688539Holy freeze could be nice, don't need mana regen at this point. I've been running the other Warlock with a Rogue merc kek.>>733688630I went Smith - Hephasto - Lister then went back to Hephasto for the auras and curses. Lister is basically immortal if you get him with the right bonuses.
Is there any way to add sockets to set items in base D2R? I'm playing reimagined too if that makes a difference, i need resistances badly atm
>>733688768Paladin and Necro are Hell as well, just haven't finished it yet, you newfag
>>733688937larzuk?
>>733689021so only a quest can do that?
So what's stopping me from making alts and getting to a5 normal asap for the free socket and socketing all my uniques?
Warlock doesn’t look like he’s from the 90s
Is there a mod to make it so Diablo 2 doesn’t look so fucking ugly
hello new diabalo threadwhy is online broken and kicking me out of an otherwise single player game every twenty minutesalso can I respec after I blow my first loadalso how cozy are you
>>733689256also what is reimagined
>>733689089yup, can't use cube for that>>733689093nothing except time and effort, that's what everyone does kek
>finally got a mana drain ring that wasn't shit>don't even need to use mana pots during combat any more with echo strike
>>733689256yes you can respec with akara in act 1 or by gathering essences from the act bosses and cubing them (except duriel)>>733689314modded faggotryI am amazingly comfy
>click on shit and it diesthis is fun?
>>733689327>yup, can't use cube for thatty
>>733689345I know that feel
>>733689421yes? has been for 25 years, so something must be right.
>>733689421Yes.
>struggling to get through Act 1 NM as Demon warlock>can't even use the "epic" Bind Demon spell everyone wanks over because normal Heph does no damage and dies to everything>just painfully crawling through with two goats who do no damage at all and die all the timepretty fucking anti-comfy ladder so far
>tfw been playing non stop since release>no amulet higher than +1>no +1 rings>no +1 beltdiablo is suffering. give me a fucking +2 amulet reeee
>>733689345How much Mana Leech is considered too much?
>>733688539Seems like might + concentration on merc, fanat + cursed on demon is the way to go. My question is, what's the best way to do ubers with him? Meph gets me because random damage from skelly spawns gets me before I can burst him down. The rest is EZ
>>733689547respec to echoing strike, respec back to demons when you hit 60 or 70
>>7336895562 or 3% is enough desu
>>733689627Really? I figured I'd need at least 10%.
>>733688679You get infinity or a sunder (or both) going. Solo element means you skip stuff that's immune until you get top-tier shit. Warlock can also get a demon with up to a level 12 conviction aura which will break quite a few.
>>733689686if you are striking fast one after the other even 1% will fill you up
>>733689345The best feeling. I had that with my Strafe Amazon.
How long did it take to get Fanat + curse on demon bind?
>>733688230Op you forgot the third demon that spreads damage between several enemies. It's kinda like AoE.
>>733689725I guess I can just use my manald heal ring and swap out these other pieces I have.
>>733689867half an hour usually. I died several times due to stupidity, so had to find him 3 or 4 times. I noticed he appears roughly 1 in 5 attempts. His location being near to the waypont saves a lot of time.
>>733689345I got an early soulflay shit felt so great
>>733689891yup
>>733689409can't help but noticed you ignored the like about online disconnecting all the time
so what are your goals anons?for me, get to 99 FOR THE FIRST TIME and have at least +10 to all. enigma would be nice as well.
>>733689256>DeckfagTry booting on windows.
>>733690493cuz I can't help you and don't know anything about that
Trvth nvke: diablo immortal is fun on mobile
>>733690569I actually haven't played on my deck at all, it was just part of the shit post. Every 20 mins between 2 different windows devices it's been dc'ing, I gave up and just made an offline character, which you should know doesnt transfer via steam cloud or anything, which brings me back to not having yet played on my deck.
>>733690605absolutely not. shouldn't have that name either.
>>733690536Fuck if I know. Probably get Breath of the Dying for the Warlock. I got a Sorc that needs work as well. Have fun with summon Necro on the side.
>>733689867not long, done it several times on hell. like anon said one in five seems reasonable.
>flooded with andariel uber-ancient fragments>getting baal fragments is impossible because it takes 5 minutes waiting for him to laugh as opposed to 30 second runsThey really didn't tune these drop rates appropriately
>>733688230>Diablo 2 WarlockWTF are you talking about
>>733691160kek
>>733690727there's an easy fix for this
>finally get my my first herald in caracombs 3>kill it relatively easy>drops nothing of valuewhat's the point if they drop nothing?
So binding demons OUTSIDE OF demon only builds is just an extra aura? Like having merc aura, merc weapon aura and now bound demon aura. They are not good for damage?
>>733691261apparently the drop rate on sunder charms is 1-2%, but the more heralds you kill in one game the more times it rolls loot, up to 3 rolls on your fifth+ herald. doing a full game run can get you more sunders but the difficulty of heralds increases exponentially, to the point where a herald on p8 can take 10 minutes of chipping away with spells while kiting because it oneshots you through 2.5k hp
>>733691160>andy and mephy are the only two act bosses that at most need you to speed through 2 floors and blitz them down>duriel needs you to either literally tap into the spice melange to guess the tomb or run through arcane sanctuary>have to clear chaos sanctuary for Papa D>Baal laughs like a reddit atheist for 500 years while you get raped by Mister Lister the Sister Fister
>>733691403With enough +skills, even a single hard point in bind demon can make Heph or Lister into an insanely powerful tool to clear bosses/immunes. It's doing the same or maybe even more damage on hits than my merc and provides the conviction aura (which is the real reason to use it, the aura).You still want 20 soft points into demonic mastery, as that allows you to have the bound demon, a consumed tainted/goatman/defiler, and another active demon (probably a defiler because it's insanely good). With all those points into mastery, your bound demon is just a chad.
>>733691465top kek, good postreminder they nerfed Andariel drops somewhat in Warlock
>>733691403When you have end game gear with like +19 all Warlock skills, a single point in bind demon is enough to get a Lister in terror zone WSK that will by himself melt anything in game. Especially if he's cursed + aura fanaticism. Combine this with an act 2 might merc wielding a Pride runeword and your pet will be able to solo Ubers. That's with 1 point in everything in demon tree, while you can have 80+ points in chaos or eldritch doing colossal damage alongside your mini Diablo boss pet.
>>733691531hm.ok. what's so good abiut the defiler? also, I would use consume if it was permanent for the rest of the session not 2 mind.
>>733688452>noo you can't use good items that everyone have known about for multiple decades!!!!lol
>>733691618minutes*
>it's 2026 and people are STILL getting mad about Spirit
>>733691618Consume lasts a long time at higher ranks and is worth maxing even in chaos/eldritch builds, just not until you max your main skills firstDefiler is good because it makes a group of enemies each spread damage amongst themselves, when five enemies are linked and each take 50% of the damage others do, hitting one apocalypse will functionally do 3x the damage and pop the entire group instantly, as if warlock's aoe needed to be even stronger
>>733691848Warlock is so weird because he is super busted and yet I don't feel like he takes the number 1 spot in any category except at doing any content and possibly solo leveling due to how easy he can get to P8 levels of damage. Sorc is faster, Smiter still is the supreme at boss-killing, Barb is still better niche MFing, Javazon is still better at cows, Hammerdin is still better magic build, necro still better pure summoner. But nothing is bad on Warlock and he's clearly overtuned. I do like that his BiS stuff is different than typical, though it does enable his OP-ness some more.
How the fuck did I ever play the original where we only had one stash and no separate potion/rune/gem slots?
>>733692609it's called mods faggot, they literally give you unlimited stash slots
>>733692740>He didn't play onlineCringe.
>>733691256For what
>>733692853Online doesn't work
>40 bucks>removed legacy gfxnty blizzard. i'll get it on sale
>>733693551They didn't remove legacy graphics, you just have to play a version of the game without the warlock
>>733693551They are still there in normal D2R. Did you expect them to support legacy graphics for all new content that may come? That's unrealistic.
The Diablo 3 real money auction house was good. Being able to make real money by trading in-game is the #1 innovation in gaming.
>>733693620the real answer is blizzard is lazy
>>733693893Assuming they even have the knowledge to create new content with original graphics.
>>733693551Just don't play Warlock?
>>733693952if i was a blizz artist i would have loved to try and make original d2 style sprites for a new class. some dumbfuck executive probably decided nobody would ever want to use older graphics
>>733693952you can at least prompt an AI tool to make some shitty sprites. some anon did it in a thread right after this class dropped
echoing strikes is borderline cheating, can't believe they didn't patch it before laddergreat class design though, class works well no matter what you spec into
>horadric cube>3x4
>>733688230>wep doeanst matter>farm with ondals for xp player 8the ultimate p2w charachter
Yes Echoing blades is niceBut I like this
>>733693551It's only disabled for RotW characters.Make a Classic or a LoD character and you can toggle them as usual.
>>733688230Warlock is so fucking OP you can legitimately get a free Infinity in Nightmare. FREE.Completely nuts.Uninstalled this shit.
>farmed five sets of keys for ubers in single playerSurely I get a warlock torch from these
man, rune farming slowed way the fuck down.
>>733697035>Warlock is so fucking OP you can legitimately get a free Infinity in Nightmare. FREE.what?
>>733697532Bind a demon with conviction aura
>>733697625Oh. That's not the rune word that's just the aura.
>>733697646The only reason people build this weapon is the aura
>>733697625Retard
I really need an enigma so I can finally farm on something other than sorceress.
>>733697698Same
>>733697738Come veee2///rageYou can have mine. I don't even care anymore
>>733697824says it's no longer available to join, it full?
>>733697894Server?
>>733697932can you change servers in RoTW?
I will not use EnigmaI will not be a speed ratI will walk to the boss and spend 2-3 minutes / run
>>733688679if you're playing ssf respect to abyss when starting hell (if you wanna keep playing mage chaos warlock), it's what I did to complete my runin the end eldritch tree absolutely destroys chaos warlock it seems, haven't seen any guides, went in blind. is not everyday that I get a new character for my favorite game
Just made smoke and radiance for my merc because I literally didn't have anything else good for him.
>>733697958Are you US server or EU?
>>733698470US. My character's OrbPonderer.
>>733689547supposedly if you go an re-bind a demon it's bound to you current levelso if heph starts to drop off, go back and re-bind him and he's way more powerfulmy normal heph was one shotting everything up until i could bind him in nightmare
waow
>>733698558that's a lot of charms
>>733698591would you say it's too many charms?
I wanted to make the new warlock body armour runeword since Nightmare Act 2I'm at Hell Act 2 now and somehow I still didnt find a 3 socket body armour
>>733698512Come EU then
>>733698764how?
>>733688230in act 1 and im getting filtered by having to use so many fucking mana pots. does it get better?
>>733698690I would say it's charming
>>733698792Change your region in the battle.net launcher
>upgraded my angelic mantle to exceptional>gained like 150 defenseuggghh I'm gonna cum
>>733698803lel
>>733698841I figured it out with the steam launcher. veee2/rage right?
>>733698914Yea
>>733698956you're on ladder aren't you? lol this won't work out. Thanks though.
>>733699014Why are you playing NL?
>>733699049never had the option to choose ladder when I was making the character. Probably in between seasons.
>>733698793Same experience after swapping from demon to Miasma Chain to see how it played. Just casting chain a few times depletes me completely.I'm going back to my summoned demons for now.
>>733688230>+ all the synergiesnah skip putting points into warp, put them into consume and lethargy instead. way more damage out of that
>Have immunities so you can't just spam one or two elements at bosses>No wait I cast [immunity breaker] haha get fuckedThese games are so trash.
>>733699334Any RPG worth its salt lets you rape and gape it by circumventing stuff like that so cry about it bitch.
>>733692273>Warlock is so weird because he is super busted and yet I don't feel like he takes the number 1 spot in any categorySo he is like a druid, but good.
>>733698914>I figured it out with the steam launcher.How did you do it? Can I have the Enigma?
>>733699334fire immunities not broken by conviction are common, you would need a sunder charm and some additional gear like flickering flame to be competitive in helland sunders became vanishingly rare in rotwin contrast with echoing strikes and pure summoners the firelock is one of the least OP builds
>>733699334>>Have immunities so you can't just spam one or two elements at bossesBosses aren't immune to anything, retard
>>733699579super uniques are
>18k tooltip dps on Apocalypse>before negative resists, sigil lethargy, defiler, and whatever else>only using a legacy sunder charm, haven't gotten new OP sunder or uber ancient fire jewel yet, also zero skillers or sojswarlock's definitely not busted though
>>733699579>He doesn't know
>>733699579Based retard shouting his ignorant convictions immediately.
>>733699556>and sunders became vanishingly rare in rotwWould it be faster to make a character in vanilla D2R, get your sunder charms and then switch over?
Charms are such a fucking dogshit concept>You need to play with your inventory permanently full if you want to have optimal power
>>733699667from what ive read my guess is yes as long as you made a hammerdin or something equally busted on a budget
>>733699591Super uniques are literally super uniques and NOT bosses. Also there are no mandatory super uniques you need to kill.
don't care barb is still #1 in my heart
>>733699759Unironically they need to just add a charm bag as a second tab that is only for charms, make it a 4x7 grid so you can hold your 7 grand charms/sunders and your smalls.
>>733699827trav council, chaos sanctuary seal bosses, ancients, and throne room waves all have various guaranteed immunities and need to be killed to proceed
>>733699870>shouts 4 times>spins at youHeh, nuthin personnel kid
>>733700061>throne room wavescan actually be pulled from the room and baal will phase anywaythe rest is true though
>>733689345Just put 2-3 Tir runes in a helmet. Its my go-to for a lot of builds, easier than fucking around with mana-anything on any other slot cuz most helmet slot items are ass anyway.
>>733700162i dont think you can pull the shaman or mummies, they just stand theremaybe theoretically if you had some way to move them yourself like telekinesis
>>733690536I'm some how one jah away from making an enigma for my first time, so i might focus on that. Right now my goal is to make a fortitude weapon unless i get a needle drop. After that? I dunno maybe farm up enough to have a barb, though i do have some good shit for a lightning fury zon. I played diablo 2 as a teenager but i was fucking retarded and never had good gear. This is the first time i might be geared enough to do some ubers.
Yeah we're fucking gaming
>>733700061>trav councilDon't need to be killed. Only 1 of them if you want the flail. Forgot which one.You can also join a game of somebody who already kill them, run through the gate and grab yourself the Durance level 2 WP, leave and then proceed in your own game from there.
>>7337011102.4 requires the player to smash the compelling orb themselves (or in a party of others on the same quest) to move forward which requires killing one of the council members
>>733699607>40% all monsters on hell take zero damagenothin personnel
>>733701701>zero damageEven fire immune monsters are dying in 2-3 rotations, everything else is dying in a single apoc+fire wall combo, p8 level 96 tz
>>733701330He just told you what to do. Join a game of somebody who already did that. Run through durance 1 and 2, grab the WP, leave the game. Now you can kill Mephisto without doing trav council.
So super pots are a drop only potion or will I eventually be able to buy them in hell/a5 nightmare?
>>733701869you cant enter durance through the stairs, even if they are down, or enter a tp to durance without the quest completed
>>733701943you can buy them from all vendors in hellonce you get to hell its also a good thing to filter out in a loot filter so you dont accidentally pick up inferior potions which are significantly worse
>>733688937They still haven't added a way to socket uniques outside of the act 5 quest. PD2 has an item that sockets shit.
>>733688230People actually gave troon-blizz 25 bucks for this trash kek, grim
>>733702215Alright cool, I already filtered out all potions except supers anyways just sometimes I forget that vendors only sell greaters when restocking.
>Angelic 2 piece is really good and the 3 piece is solid if you upgrade the chest piece or ideally you'd have 2x of the rings >the sword is such diarrhea dogshit that you'll never use it to get the full set effects which are pretty solidWhat did they mean by this?
>>733702127>you cant enter durance through the stairsYou literally can
>>733702724le balance
>>733702895In the same game that has hyper busted runewords, not even to mention how retarded Warlock is right now
>>733703001Yes.
I only played Diablo 1 on Playstation 1. Trying out D2 and I like it so far; it's like PoE's Ruthless mode but not dogshit and miserable. I made a Paladin it's good times. Do I want to target elites rather than killing normal monsters? What stuff should I pick up and what to ignore (i.e. do I want to filter out whites early on or do I need them for gold, stuff like that) >t. old person who somehow never played 2 but did play 1, 3, and 4
>>733703670Just wish lower level sets were decent enough to run fully instead of it being piecemeal outside of making a new character.
>>733703762Early on you're gonna wanna kind of pick up almost everything to get some early gold reserves, plus basic magic gear can be pretty useful all through normal and even into the higher difficulties if it rolls something like +1 class skills. Champs and Uniques are usually worth killing because they give good exp + gold + have larger and better loot pools than basic mobs.
>>733689547do a bloodboild build. im lvl 42 in NM right now and its a breeze. i usually use 2 goats, I only bother capturing a demon if they have a really nice aura but i do most damage with bloodboil anyways right now so it doesnt matter.
>wondering why the fuck I can't find Khalim's eye>realise I'm in the Arachnid Lair and not the Spider Cavern
>>733704034>Early on you're gonna wanna kind of pick up almost everything to get some early gold reservespicking up everything is a noob trap.Pick up body armor if you really need gold fast, otherwise pick up staves/wands/helms/shields with +skills on them, and gems runes. regular magic weapons dont sell for a lot.
>>733703762>it's like PoE's Ruthless mode but not dogshit and miserable.Chris Wilson's legacy is chasing a version of Diablo 2 that only ever existed in his head.
>>733704245so white stuff on the floor isn't worth the trip back to dump, sort of like PoE
>>733704245I still think it's worth picking up everything in A1 at least
>go to TZ>kill every single elite pack>herald doesn't even look my way>make new gameGuess I'll go fuck myself
>>733688452Wait, so why would you want to intentionally gimp yourself by not using items that literally drop as you go?Stealth, lore and spirit are such low level runewords that you have to intentionally ignore them to not get both the base and the runes for them.And on top of that for warlock all you need is insight as a runeword anyway. That alone will hard carry a warlock.
>>733696351Been enjoying this myself.
>>733704359white chest armor and caster items can sell for a lot.
ANDARIEL YOU WHORE GIVE ME ANGELIC WINGS
>going through the jungle as an axe throwing Barbarian while blasting Conan
>>733704462It's not
>>733705258Honestly all the barb playstyles are pretty fun.
Barb players are the only ones ensouled by God.
The true sons of Bul-Kathos.
>>733704489kek
>>733704710+12 to allbreakdown now!
>>733688230that's pretty good, but add Pride to the merc and use the Defiler as a third spawn
you nigs using eldritch and demon while ignoring chaos are missing out on abyss
>>733705895Spirit sword, spirit shield, authority chest, +3 demon skills circlet (with literally nothing else), +1 all ammy, 1 skill charm, and a lucky SoJ.The rest of the gear is some small MF increases, chances, tals belt, eth war travs that are about to break. Loads of upgrades open, but I am playing on single player, so I am not in much of a rush.
>>733702240Reimagined lets you use jewels to add sockets
>>733706059I am mighty jelly about the SoJ.
>>733706085>reimagined kys
>>733706196Yeah, that was some serious luck, now I'm just hoping that I can finally drop a +2 ammy. Probably the easiest next step, since the other stats on my current ammy are garbage anyway.
They should add a new endgame item called the Chisel of Hadriel that lets you socket an item or something. Maybe even make it turbo rare and let it put a 2nd socket on an already socketed unique/set item.
>>733706340I like that, but it has to be 1/million rare
>>733706391Sure
>>733706232
>>733706451only troons play modded Diablo
>>733706538Base d2r has systems that are out of date and make the game shit, you are missing out on so much cool shit from crafting, builds with new items, harder content, mapping systems for endgame the list goes on and on if you want to be that guy that acts like they are the cool kid for playing the base version go ahead your loss lol
>>733706704>Base d2r has systems that are out of date and make the game shit, That's why it's so popular after 25 years huh?>you are missing out on so much cool shit Made up fanfiction bullshit. Not canon.
>>733706761i bet you hate project Diablo 2 as well go on hipster faggot say it
how do I know what uniques are good? when the fuck are they adding instanced loot?
>>733706895I do, it's trash.
>>733706914>look at stats>"this is good for me">"this isn't good for me"
>>733706914I mean stats are pretty self-explanatory. never.
>>733692273>necro still better pure summonerhow? just demon teleport makes warlock so much better, anyway pure summoners are gimped >>733689547>act 1 nmget yourself smith with cursed, but until you get some points into bind and get nice demon with cursed and aura, goats are better desu

>>733707831Yes.
>>733707831They're probably going to announce D1R this Blizzcon.
>>733707575ES is best both in damage and in mechanics. The rest suck in comparison. You get a nice aura merc and bind a demon with curse to break immunes and it makes hell easier than normal.

What other demons are cool, Hep is just for the lazy guys.I use a Vile Mother I grabbed on Nightmare Act 4, You also get the vile spawns tooHoping to replace it with a double immunity one when I get there on Hell. And with Max rank Bind I can just do it over and over and I get one with Fanta auraBut before I do that I will experiment with different demons

>>733709402anon...you're supposed to get a broad sword or crystal sword off normal cows then socket them from the quest, guaranteed 4os at that ilvl
are hell cows worth running? anyone gotten anything good?
>>733709402Could have tried rolling sockets with the cube recipe. Iirc Crystal Swords dropped by normal cows can roll 4 sockets and you get a 50% chance for max sockets with the recipe.
>>733689547>>733698550It's weird. I respecced demons around 35 and my experience was neither that shit nor that good. It was kind of a struggle at times but mostly mid. Couple bosses ate my demons and then I had to put more points into the defensive passive one. >>733704142Blood Boil seemed interesting but also kinda jank. I'll have to try it the next time I make a warlock.>>733689867I was trying out different demons and could never find them with both. Then I lucked into a spearwoman with both the first time I went looking for one in ancients cave.
>>733709551Stfu
>>733689867>How long did it take to get Fanat + curse on demon bind?With or without bind skill 20?
>>733709402I mean sure, you can be unrealistically unlucky, or just not check items that drop, but you get 3 socket quests on the way to hell baal. Using 1-2 on spirit bases is not that horrible.
>>733692273>>733707096summon necro is only "good" because of curses and corpse explosionpretty sure summon warlock clears packs and bosses faster
>>733688230They do a lot of damage but I like sorc more still>but muh meta Dont care. Only matters if you're a turd worlder selling D2 items as a job.
>>733709939no one has bind at 20 kek
>>733693551>>733694140old graphics look like shit on d2r idk why anyone would use themyou're better off using real d2 if you want the old graphics
Is Hysteria (Hustle) better than Stealth?
>>733710140Imo, just like the demon mastery, you should actually adjust it to 20 to get the aura. Or at least once you get to high levels with a bunch of +skills, you want both of those at 20 and not much more.
>>733709286Issue with "minion" demons is that they block each other and not trigger cursed, unless it has one of the holy auras
>>733698705I played through with a friend and we didn't find a single elite or exceptional 2 socket body armour. Felt like they did something to fuck up the drops. Maybe the new loot fucked with the complex diablo loot system or they changed it somehow. Did find one 3 socket that I used to make the warlock body though.
>>733699946It would make people seethe but I think it would be neat if the charm bag had a complex shape, not just a simple rectangle. Also buff large charms so there's a reason to use them.
>>733709783hell cows are mostly for socketed items and runes, if you dont have an extremely fast time to kill against them it is unlikely to be better than doing something else however
>>733710140Every warlock summoner build naturally maxes out bind
>>733710689>warlock summoner buildWhy would anyone intentionally play the terrible mediocre build instead of the good one?
>>733710829Because summoner builds are fun
>>733688230I have a lightsorc with infinity and a fully built zealot. I should easily clear uber ancients if I upgraded, no?
>>733707575Did cleave apply hex to multiple targets if it hits them? With that it could be interesting combo with eldritch blast. I was also thinking that mirrored blades could be good for proccing cast on striking/attack.
>>733704359if you're looking for quick cash, pick up wands, staves, paladin maces, druid helms, necro offhands (zombie heads), warlock books, any class item that can roll with +skills. even if they are grey like damaged/low quality/etc, they are still worth thousands if they have enough +skills on them
>>733688452>YOU MUST PLAY AS A SHIT CLASS LIKE BARBARIAN SO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY GETTING RAPED, LIKE ME!
I'm in Act 2 NM as Demon Warlock. I maxed my goat and demon mastery so I have 3 demons now. Who do I Bind? Norm Heph seemed very bad.
I am going to play as lazy hc sff summon warlock and I am going to like it.
>>733708093honestly build is largely irrelevant to the lock right now. i very easily cleared all the way to hell act 2 on my abyss lock without putting a single point into vitality because it had been years since i played and i was stat-dumping energy by mistake. i had 400 health and barely died once up until that point. i just put my hammerdin's MF gear on my lock and his survivability shits all over my pally. he is head and shoulders more powerful than any class i've seen
>>733710545"safest" way to do it would be the same size as our inventory minus cube+tp book>It would make people seethe Purist bitching about changes will never make sense to meespecially now that they have both classic and LoD toggles
>>733711629You can get smith from a1 and then blunderbore or whatever its name is from a2. Try to get one with cursed, if it has aura enchanted, even better.
>>733711469it's been weird picking up daggers for money
Man, If I had teleport this would be the fastest Mephisto run I ever discovered
Are temp bans still a thing, haven't played ladder since way before D2R. Can I run norm meph over and over or will I get locked out and banned for going too fast like the old days?
>>733711979get a teleport staff from ormus and keep it as your second weapon
man binding demons with amplify damage is such a cheat lel I love it
>>733711863like wands it's a small nice item to pick up for cash
Stupid question but can ladder characters share storage with nonladder? What happens when ladder ends?
>>733712616>What happens when ladder ends You're at your destination, that's what ladders are for.
>>733712616shared stash is separate between ladder and non ladderwhen ladder ends, all those ladder characters become non-ladder and those previously ladder only shared stash tabs basically become remove-only for a time
>>733706952>nooo they nerfed all the OP runewords!
are monarch drops fucking disabled or what? it's been 3 days nonstop target farming one, i haven't even had a magic one drop to cry about
>>733713010Meanwhile, I got a unsocketed Monarch and went straight to Larzuk only for a 4 socket Monarch to drop immediately after leaving town.
>>733713010I have found a single blue one and a single white one
>>733712130Do I just have to keep remaking the game until he sells it?
>>733698558imagine playing barb
>>733713010I usually farm them in the forgotten tower. The red goatmen have alright drop chances for them.
>have to remaster games instead of making new ones that people would care aboutReally sad actually. They remaster games that use to target boys and men, but all new ones keeps targeting the woke mob in California who dont even play games. What a sad fucking timeline. Im not even going to play the remaster out of principle.
>>733709286Big demons with maces (Blunderbores) have 25% crushing blow and stun.
>>733713629Just run out of the town and back.
>733713758Take your meds and stop obsessing over Resurrected, you're in every single thread making these passive aggressive posts trying to stir shit>>733713629The best way to find one is to get to act 2 at lv20, reset the map until you get Drognan and the exit close togetherAll the red background staff have teleport in it
biggest qol d2r needs is mercenary refresh so I can get the name + skill combo I want
>>733714110thats what im using on my lock now, mind also applies amplify damage as well. bloodboil build. its ok, and the bulnder dude is tanky enough to survive endgame bosses (if i go back to town to heal it)
>>733713010Farm cows with max killing speed / zero mf gear. Trade down the Bers and Jahs you get into as many Monarchs as you need.
>>733714932oh fuck off asshole the average player is never going to seee a jah or ber drop let alone more than one
>>733714534So he only has it in normal? Not hell?
>>733706451Nice catch Sam
>>733715227I think so? i never skip buying a tp staff since i found out about it so i'm not really sureMaking a new character is faster anyway, you also keep the map layout because going back to normal will reset iti forgot if there's an option ingame to reset maps offline, but on pc you can add -resetofflinemaps to the advanced launch commands make a backup of your hell character though, including the map files, in case you fuck up and load him instead
>>733715227if he sells a staff with teleport charges in nm or hell it probably has +skills and will cost a buttload
so what do I do after I beat hell?
>>733715726I found this staff on Hell from Ormus
>>733697035>free Infinity in Nightmarewhere?
>>733716316the retard means demon aura
>>733716316Any demon sporting a conviction aura.
>>733716434yeah but which demon in nightmare spawns with conviction?
>>733716457Technically all of them.
Got a 5 socket "Crystal sword" in hell. Thinking about upgrading from my "Spirit" sword but don't see any runewords that's better for my "Demon Warlock". Maybe "Call of arms" or the new "Void" might be worth trying.
>terrorize act 1>halfway done >not a single herald warning
>complain>this happen fuck off game
>>733717461top kek
>3 days of farming>200+ MF>no good dropsI am mildly annoyed
>>733713758Faggot, they are working on diablo four add-ons and probably diablo five simultaneously. Blizzard has massive manpower.
>>733714989This lol been playing for decades. Never had them.
found angelic ring and ammy in the span of 10 mins in NM act 4 but im a caster
>>733717868You completely missed my point or didnt even read it
>>733717654Same. I'm probably done for a few years again, getting burned out on the insane korean tier low drop rates again.
What's the point of ladder other than a few shitty rune words you'll never even dream of getting?
>>733718273offline has all ladder runewrods now. ladder is a dick measuring race for autists.
>>733718273it used to be ladder would reset and you'd race to reach the topnow faggot streamers have multiple people running their character 24/7
>>733718334I just play online but I do all my grinding solo lol. I like fucking around with people in cows and terror zones though. I don't do ladder anymore.
>>733718273>>733718457I've been playing for 25 years only on pirated versions. Never ever played online kek.
>>733718273fresh trade economy.
>>733720078Diablo 2 "Trade" economy is horrible
why there are no builds utilizing brand runeword on assassin? am i retarded for even tryign
Diablo 2 lore explicitly states you can't out-demon the demon lords. Stupid class fantasy and ugly sword telekinesis gimmick.
>>733722813You can't out-demon the big ass demon lords and the prime evils, not fucking run of the mill denon fucking shits.
I've got eleven, count 'em, ELEVEN pgems on the ladder. What can I buy, bros?
>>733722941My point is the moment you show up to fight Andariel with the Smith she should be like>lol?and then the Smith bends your purple ass over and rapes you
>>733722563There is nothing good about Brand and it's expensive.
>>733723126Well, you have a point there.
I wish everyone would literally get amnesia and forget how to play the game and the internet wikis and forums for the game to be destroyed, then I can have fun againthis day 1 hell bullshit sucks balls, it wasn't like this in 2005
>>733723259Why even bother trying to keep up with the d2jsp jews? Just have fun, anon
>>733688230flying weapon is stupid + ugly
>>733723037Cross check the rune price per pgem on d2jsp and go from there. It's the main hub of the economy
>>733723259that's why warlock is so great and fun, there aren't exhaustive guides about him yet... well maybe there are now, but there weren't day 1 except mrlama's videos. it was very fun to stumble and try to find a good skill path.
>>733723617think of it as magic and it will be fine, I thought the same as you, but love it now
>>733723660yeah right instead he's so overpowered that only certified retards like the hephastuscuck above can't beat nightmare on day 1
>>733723617Manipulating weapons like that with magic/mind powers is one of my favourite things ever.
>finally get herald of terror to spawn>get instaraped because it came with teleport, an army of Yeti/troll and a shitload of aurasIt's fucking dumb that it took me a full act 1 clear and another terror zone to spawn
>>733723837rude
>>733723617it looks really goofy
>>733723889did it drop something? I encountered only one so far and it dropped NOTHING.
The stupid thing is he's levitating it by default which doesn't make sense, that's a waste of energy and he's not even floating it in a useful way.If he just had his hand free to do whatever and the weapon orbited him it would make sense because you don't technically need energy to maintain an orbit.
fyi for herald farmers, they drop at 1/200 and some change on p1. It's somewhere around 1/60 on max players
After playing PD2 for several seasons I forgot how many items have shitty half freeze duration instead of cannot be frozen. Also not being able to stack two half mods.
>>733724143orbiting is overplayed and boring, I could accept if it floated next to him or something
>>733724005No clue, it walled me and had to quit because it was impossible to recover my bodyI did get an Ist from a random minion>>733724256i thought it was guaranteed for the Terror to drop a sunder charm?
>>733724301because of pd2 I put insight into a spear on my warlock lol
>>733724467hell no, it drops at a very low rate
>>733688230That is the gayest warlock I've ever seen and now that stain is in D2. nu-blizz is hopeless.
Me and the boys
>>733723259it sucks but it's still up to youI avoided all warlock videos and just went in blind on singleplayer, made it to NM while trying out every skill as they unlocked (you can freely re-spec at any time in sp)had a great time, spoiling yourself of this discovery experience by watching day 1 builds by streamers is a mistake, stop robbing yourself of that
>[Game] Baal: *Laughing*
>>733688230>expansion/DLC class or character>make it blatantly overpoweredWhy can't games stop doing this?
>>733724721Still weaker than Sorc/Paladin
>>733724683based
Call me when they give you option to play as a female on all classes.
>>733724721>I hate having fun
>>733724721>spend money for new class>new class is on par with other classesIt's like paying to be cucked.
>>733724979woke
>>733718273>What's the point of ladderTrading. Nobody needs your shit in 5 year old non ladder.Also general community play.
>>733724615btw I died by being a retard and on my second trip for a new Hephasto I got one not only with Fanaticism and Amplify Damage curse, but also Lightning Enchanted lmao. Pic related. It's the best one I've gotten so far.
>>733720753fox and grapes you offline nigga
>>733724143didn't you ever watch dragonball z? once you can do super saiyan 3, you can maintain super saiyan 1 at all times with no effort
>>733724642No it isn't up to me the awareness of knowing that some of you have already beaten the game while I would take several weeks to clear normal and then a few months to clear nightmare makes me uncomfortable as a male
>>733723259>it wasn't like this in 2005people were being rushed to hell cows to level from 1-99 through just cows back before 2005
>>733725404I played 1.0 version last year and it still took me like a couple days to get to hell, and that with saving points till Vengeance because I wanted to run it and lol no respecs.
>>733724467So far I had a guaranteed drop from them, they drop so much loot since they come with adds that it might overwrite some of the drops. Happened to me, where I had to remove potions from the filter to even see the uniques.
>>733725404maybe you're just bad at video gamesdon't cry, everyone's got something they're good atmaybe you're extremely gifted at shopping for groceries or eating your toenailsbut not video games
>>733725445well I wasn't one of those peopleif that was everyone then I wasn't part of everyone>>733725703lol true
>>733725260what are defilers for?also what does it mean that they're act bosses?
>>733718273From what I've gathered you only play ladder/non-ladder if you have actual frens who also play D2RIf you're a NEET autist you play offline since it has everything including all of the runewords and shared stashesPlaying solo on ladder/non-ladder is hell since you're permanently stuck on /players 1
>>733726216Offline you can't mooch off of randoms to get actual good runes.
>>733724873i really doubt that desu. actually just from norm to nightmare warlock seems like the best in terms of damage.
>>733726113dunno about the pic, but defilers bind several enemies to share damage between them, so if you hit one it's like hitting 4 or 5 (number depends on skill lvl)
>>733726283it's bullshit, I am 25k damage per shot, 100%+ critical strike doubles that and then the amplify damage doubles that
>>733726279>Offline you can't mooch off of randomsNo one does this anymore, this only happened when D2R was new and there was no ladder seasonIf you have /players 8 you can just autistically run Travincal and LK
Seeing as this is the D2 thread, I'm getting my shit kicked in at Act 2 Hell. >Frenzy Barb, Mace specced>stuck using an exceptional base Honour and Fleshrender>have an unsocketed white Balrog Blade, unsocketed white Highland Blade, 3 socketed white Tyrant Club and 2 socketed white Tyrant Club>have a 3 socket white Mage PlateFrom what I can see my options are>keep grinding Countess for a Ko rune and make a Mania/Hustle>respec to sword mastery, Larzuk the Balrog Blade and make an Oath>make a Lionheart>make a Treachery I'm leved 75 so an extra 5 levels or so of Vitality isn't going to make enough difference when I'm doing negative damage.
Oh no no no 'just having fun' bros, they are starting to do the math>Double dipping mechanics are a big reason why warlock is OP>Many of warlocks skills are applying their bonuses when they probably shouldn't, and that scales stuff ridiculously>Echoing strikes gives +base damage from its skill, which is multiplied by %ED from all sources. You get +4600 damage at level 44, this is like a 1 handed weapon with 4600 base damage when grief only deals 435ish. Hence people getting echoing strikes to the point of millions of DPS>Bind demon adds +base damage and +%ed to the demon. At high levels it can be +1428 base damage and +850% ed. When a demon has ~150 base damage and +99% ed from extra strong, this suddenly makes it go from 298 damage per hit to 16553 damage per hit. You can have spearwomen using jab with 20-30k damage per hit + curse + auras>Hex: Siphon is applying +life/mana gain that works even with non-weapon attacks, just a 10 minute duration buff that works even with skills like apocalypse, fire nova, abyss, blood boil, etc. It means even caster warlocks can use a hex to get essentially infinite mana and huge HP regen. Everything about the hexes make it look like they only apply to your weapon, and all the other hex active/passive effects are only weapon-based, yet siphon inexplicably becomes redemption aura on crack for casters.>Defilers are actually dealing 59% of damage taken by a linked unit to all other linked units. Unlike wc3 soul link, its not split, and it can be fatal. That means a defiler linking 5 units gives you an effective +236% overall damage dealt. That's the biggest damage amplifier in the game by a mile. You bind 5 monsters and hit all at the same time with a 10000 damage spell and they all take 33600 damage.>Even mirrored blades is just conceptually a ridiculous damage multiplier and it isn't nearly as busted.why do they do math and hate on the fun?
should I ID items before selling?
>>733726498that's you get the pirated version and never patch it :), they can nerf deez nuts
OY GEVALT
>>733726498and assassins dragon kick was intended to do +50% of all your damage, that's not a bug?
>>733726478I'd prolly go sword and go with those rune words, never had a good run with a barb outside of swords and axes or that one time I had full IK set. not an expert though.
>>733688539>Keeps things fresh!who the fuck writes like this
>>733726478>playing barbliteral humiliation ritual and always has been
>>733726478my strat for "fenzy barb" ssf is basically getting 2x black runewords ASAP, then getting frenzy buff and spamming double swing (faster than frenzy) to chunk elite mob while others are feared then horking dead elite corpse and moving to next elite mob. you can theoretically make black from farming NM countess but will probably have to farm it a lot and cube some runes. if you are in hell it should be relatively easier.
>>733726934The choice paralysis is crippling because of how long it took me to farm these shitty runes to begin with.>>733726985Help me pick the colour of my cuck chair.
I will be a 2H WW Barb and you cannot stop me, it's still good dammit!
>>733726387Even on /players 8 the chances of you ever getting a ber or jah is like 1/10000000000. If you want to participate in the autistic runeword grind, you need to play online.
>want to play>learn that when you die, you have to go back to your corpse to pick up your items, gold, and some of your experienceHa! Btw, why are people playing this game again? Didn't they make all the characters look like troons and DEI hires?
why would anyone trade away runes for uniques if uniques are less valuable than runes?
>>733726478Farm for a Hustle. Untwinked melee builds are awful in Hell until that runeword came out.
>>733727265why aren't black people allowed to be attractive in video games anyway that's super fucking weird in retrospect
>>733727374Cause liberals are more racist than the other people they claim are.
>>733693893they're not just going to fire up a nearly 30 year old content pipeline to make sprites out of a 3Dmax model just so you can have the option of playing classic mode warlock
are high runes still rare if you farm with \player8 in terror zones?
>>733689421they should make it play automatically desu, my finger gets le tired
>>733726641yes
>stealth rune word>doesn't decrease light radiusgay ass faggot gayme
>>733726781fk you
Is there any reason to not double up on Hustle for a weap and the body?
>>733727498yes
>>733727729:)
>>733727787no +to all skills
>>733727896true....
Does this game have cool mods?
>>733727653But light radius is basically your own perception range, not the enemy's.
>>733727994only trannies play modded diablo
>>733727994Why the fuck would you care about mods if you've never played it before?
>>733727787>Hustleif you dont have crushing blow from gloves and boots you basically need it on weapon unless you do so much damage it doesnt matter to you.
>>733726498>at level 44completely normal skill level...for botters, rmters or after spending 1000 manhours into farming, sure should concern most players>defilerwhen damaged by aoe only one instance of damage increase from link happens>siphonit works on kill, why shouldnt it work with spells?still wondering why would anyone complain about damage of bound demon when "at high levels" (assuming 44+) it is loltastic single target 16500 per hit (and demon has weird pause between attacks so it is more like per second, even dark lancer doesnt always use jab btw) in the same post where he mentions echoing strike dps being in millions
>>733728061that's what makes d2 GAY
>>733726498>Echoing strikes gives +base damage from its skill, which is multiplied by %ED from all sources. You get +4600 damage at level 44, this is like a 1 handed weapon with 4600 base damage when grief only deals 435ish. Hence people getting echoing strikes to the point of millions of DPSWelcome home Diablo 3.
>>733688230>bind Hephasto with fanaticism auraI got him on NM with 3 diff auras and they worked only on him. The A3 tribunal members amd jungle assholes with auras were working fine. I dunno what's wrong.
>>733728562extremely weird, I bound 20 Hepastos or so so far and their auras all worked on me and the other minions
>>733728326gface
>>733728473his example is a bit ridiculous but echoing strike is clearly busted in its scaling neither defiler or bind demon seems to be an issue in scaling because the whole summon archetype on warlock doesn't work if those pieces don't exist and you need a lot of +skills for the demon to get crazy I'm at +7 and it's decent enough to do hell but it kinda sucked when I didn't have both fanatism and amplify on the demon
>>733727374>>733727432the goal is to get people used to looking at ugly niggers so they don't freak out when their streets are flooded with them
>>733689153I would take a original graphics mode over this realism slop
>>733728510D1 also had friendly fire and gear drop on death, imagine if they kept that.
I want to minion maxx. What CHEAP runewords or other items can give me additional minions like how heart of the oak gives you oak sage and ravens?
>>733729159D2R's graphics are probably the most faithful recreation of any game's graphical intent and style in the history of remasters/remakes. It is exactly how I imagined the game looked in my head when I played it in 2004 as an 11 year old.
>>733729184early d2 had corpse popping so you could steal peoples' items. did it all the time with my friend
>>733727994Project Diablo 2 and Path of Diablo are both pretty good for regular D2. I haven't played D2R mods so no comment about those.
>My brothers will not have died in vain!
>>733727498Yes but compared to /players 1 it's a lotYou only /players 1 on the Countess and in Hell you skip farming her and go straight to the usual high end areas
Can warlocks use bows?
>>733729751Of course.
>>733729751yeah (in both hands) and he looks even zestier for some reason
>>733727994some add a billion new uniques/sets/runewordsI really enjoyed reimagined because of that; mostly QoL, rebalanced skills (some new ones) and assloads of new items with crafting to play around
>>733729926Using telekinesis for a ranged weapon is extremely zesty. Like at that point you're just being a tryhard, like fire a magic missile at that point mage boy.
>>733729751>>733729926sadly he doesn't throw the bow kek, echiing strike doesn't work with bows, he shoots arrows
>>733730046kek, very true
>>733729926>>733730064giving me flashbacks to using a bow on a sorceror to kill butcher through bars
>>733730064mirrored works
>>733729834>>733729926>>733730064I was wondering if any of the skills work but seems like they're only melee weapons. Hex: Bane probably works on a bow so maybe you could do something stupid like a Guided Arrow build with Widowmaker. Add a demon with Fanaticism Aura and consume defiler for the buff. Shame there's no Multishot oskill in D2R. >>733730323W-wait it does? Does it hit in melee or shoot a bunch of arrows?
>>733730392shoots arrows like multishot
>>733730462Oh shit. It arcs the projectiles?

>>733730503you can control it by aiming closer or farther
>>733730593dope, I am working on mine on the side. I got that unique sword with +3 fire skills. what's your weapon? second spirit?
>>733688230Are we getting buffs to the other characters? Haven't played warlock yet but from what Ive seen so far its blatantly OP. Better yet, when is blizzard buffing melee so it's not dogshit 99% of the time compared to casters.
>gaylord with a spirit shieldevery time I see the fucking kite shield I want to pukestop using paladin gear
>>733730801>Are we getting buffs to the other characters?We just don't know yet, standard Blizz MO is to let a new class/spec run roughshod over the game for a few weeks up to a month and then do balance passes or any kind of game updates. Abuse early, abuse often.
>>733730801They buffed the Assassin with Mosaic and then they cut her down after a few seasons with Warlock.Only the Sorceress, Paladin and Warlock are allowed to be OP; the rest are third string contrarian choices.
>>733730754>second spirit?yeah, rolling with the spirit - spirit - authority. just replaced lore
>>733730801hopefully not, core game mechanics shouldn't be touched, the game stayed popular for 25 years for a reason, don't mess with it>>733730828I don't like how it looks either, but it's sooooooooooooo good
>Diablo 1 canon protagonistWarrior>Diablo 2 canon protagonistNecromancerThis is undisputed. You warlocks can leave now, it's over.
>>733730897holy based, thinking of doing the same
>>733730948>add a new class that rapes and gapes the game>b-b-b-but don't make any other changes to improve parity more (despite them adding tons of new runewords in various patches that tried to do exactly that)You grognards are genuinely tiresome sometimes, why don't you just play a cracked version of 1.10 you downloaded in 2007 and have fun with it?
>>733730593I'm the autist playing the frenzy barb and I now realise the Vex rune is the one high rune I have. How much of a difference does the helm make?
>>733726279I farmed my infinity solo online
>>733731081>crackedDoes copying all game files to a stick and keeping it forever and modifying game graphics files to give rogue platemail from diablo1 and making the paladin white count as a crack?
>>733730801>>733730843I don't see D2R getting any updates before the next ladder. I would expect to see at least the next couple ladders paired with some changes since they got a bunch of money from people buying the dlc.
>>733731180I'd say that's more like of an edit than a crack.
I will take it as my drop of the day.
>>733730801mrlama mentioned they're not done adding shit to d2r, so we'll see
>>733731228Holy fuck I turned into an ESL for a minute there.
>>733731236sweet
>>733731236not bad, shako next
>>733731236Damn, what do good jewels look like? This is definitely a strong base to go wherever.
>>733731236explode

>>733731336the new jewels are pretty good
I want this so bad

I don't wanna go to Epstein's dental torture room
>>733731563>vengeance paladinthat's some special kind of self-harm
>>733727265just log in and out when you die, the corpse will be back at spawn

>>7337313362 facets of your element or 2 35-40ED/15IAS, Cham is always nice so you don't have to worry about CBF (could wear a second SoJ/BK if you aren't forced to use Raven Frost). Also new jewels from ancients (limited to 1), especially if your other slots are all runewords.
>>733730948>blizzard shouldn't make the other class playable because...muh nostalgiajust tick the LoD box and let them unfuck the rest of the game
>>733731635you know what's funny?I used hero editor to respec to physical zealer and then immediately restored the unedited save because zeal just felt too "weird". Twice.
>>733731127Fire immunes still bothersome. Just did a baal run and I can now chip away minions of destruction.No sunder charm yet.
>>733731714I'm on pirated offline lel
>doing amazon lightning fury>reach a2 hellStill, feel lacking due to zero proper gears. Continue farm in NM with stacked MF ?
>>733731336Rich players put a couple Ber in a good roll, especially in hardcore. Combined with Enigma and pre-buffing with Treachery's face, you get the maximum 50% physical resistance.
>>733688230What is the sexiest demon you can make into your slave?
>>733730801they already buffed every class. amazon 40 point jav offspec build got nerfed into the ground but devs see it as a buff to the class overall for some fucking reason.
You can two sockets on a unique? I thought it was a hard limit of 1, does this also work for set items?
>>733732441grotesque mother
>>733732506every class, maybe, but not equally and not every buildbarb is still shit and feels more outclassed than ever because of warlock existingbowazon continues to rot and could be fine if they just gave her proper numbers, or continue on with copying poe and give her a quiver slotdruid is still the "it's fine, I guess" class that nobody actually picks
>>733732541Some uniques just naturally have sockets as their stats, notably pic related. Any unique that doesn't has a limit of 1.
>>733732541You can only ever add one socket, but a few uniques/sets come spawned with slots - crown of ages, griswold's armor, IK hammer, etc
>>733732441I was gonna say Blood Raven but I don't think she's classified as a demon.
heh imagine if act bosses could follow you through town portaldurel be like>looking foor baal!?and you're like>nooo *town portals out*and hen he follows you and kills everyone in town and rapes atma
>>733732675>>733732696I see, good to know.
>>733732743haha
>>733732708she is actually
>>733732630>equally buff every classpretty much impossible to make everything equal. also at the same killing speed as sorc barb becauses the best magic finder because of find item. he is already arguably the best MFer for non act bosses if you have GG gear. if you mean make it easier to get going in hell ssf they added some new runewords and buffed multiple skills of his
>>733732708Blood Raven has a "kill all monsters when dead" trigger so you can't bind her.If you could you'd just grab her and de-spawn her to solo ubers with no items.
>>733732830Oh, huh.>>733732870Would be really funny to see though
>>733732868I agree that not everything should be attempted to made equal, but at the same time there's no reason why bowazon should need 30 minutes to kill baal waves
>>733732870>diablo 1 protagonist's lost former love interest comes back to banish his demon and save his soul with a noble sacrificeit would be kino
>>733732870That explains why I didn't see anyone suggest her or Izual as demons to bind, I figured they would just be weak without bonus mods, not that they are literally unbindable.
>Play javazon>Get to act 5 NM>Gloams with lightning immune everywhereThis is cancer. I'm surprised Blizzard never went back and reworked immunities. They're the one thing that cucks your fun.
>>733733146izual isn't a demon his body is a creature summoned from the abyss
It's a shame Tristram is actually literally 5 buildings and a church in the lore because if it was a real fully sized town it'd be fucking rad to explore in a theoretical D1R but they couldn't change it from it being 5 buildings and a church.
>>7337333395 buildings and a church is a reasonably sized town in the fantasy bulgaria that is khanduras
>Join my army of the dead!
>>733733676>j-AAAHHHHH
>>733733339They did a damn good job overall with D2R, but I dread the idea of remastering D1 in similar manner. Feels like crunchy old audio and low resolution graphics are part of the atmosphere, that's why I don't like the mods for D1 that increase resolution and try to turn it into D2. D2 is the insane loot game, but D1 is more like a survival horror.
>>733733507kek
>>733733747Not sure what people see in a D1 remaster. It was fun back then, but completely outclassed by D2 in every way.
>>733733747I dunno, some of the dungeons in D2R felt so appropriately dank and evil I think it could really work in a slower paced ARPG that's basically more of a dungeon crawler.
>D1 warrior becomes Diablo, Rogue becomes blood raven, and wizard becomes that dude in Arcane SanctuaryWhy don't we get any closure on the D2 or D3 protagonists? Did Blizzard give up on the lore?
>>733734182>D2 protagsEvery single one of them that's been mentioned in canon had a bad end. The sorceress got fucking murdered by assassins.>D3 protagsTHA NEPHALAME HAS A MORTAL HEART!!!
>>733734182They show up before the fight with Malthael as a force ghost to give the Diablo 3 heroes a pep talk.
>>733734182Pretty sure D3 barb is the same D2 barb if you play as male, he was supposed to get some unique interactions but it was scrapped. Others get some lore but I don't remember much anymore, I think most of them died in some stupid manner.
>>733734182They kind of did that with 3 I think>Barb just did Barb things>Sorc got fucking assassinated by the D2 'sin after she accidentally vaporized a village>The Paladin might be the D4 Paladin but I'm not really sure desu>Necro is basically a living legend and people mention him all the time in 3>Druid idk>Sin, see above>Amazon I think became a leader of her people maybe?
why do people pretend barbarian is the worst class when assassin existsthrowbarb mogs every possible assassin build now
>>733734365Shhh dude shut the fuck up we're trying to gatekeep here
>>733733916>but completely outclassed by D2 in every wayD1 and D2 are completely different genres.
>>733734308Necro left unscathed.
threadly reminder D3, 4 and the mobile bullshit are not canon
>>733734349>The Paladin might be the D4 Paladin but I'm not really sure desuNot possible. D4 takes place 50 years after D3. At best, paladin was 25-35 in D2.
>>733734342Nah, it's not the same guy. There was a backstory short story for him as well and he's some vagrant who did some crime and got exiled before tyrael blew up the mountain.You also know it's not the same guy because he'd have interactions with tyrael to indicate as such.>>733734335Not all of them. Amazon and Paladin don't.>>733734349D3 was such a pastiche of diablo tropes that it's hard to take it seriously, even when it was trying to be serious.
>>733734634Yeah I'm probably just coping because of the CG cutscene where he digs up his old gear, but stranger things have happened in the lore. Maybe the D2 Paladin became ageless somehow.
>>733734308>>733734335>>733734342>>733734349Ooh thanks maybe I'll replay d3 because I forgot everything but the Sorc getting killed.
>>733734679There were at least plans to connect them, like I said that stuff got scrapped in the end, I guess they just threw in a different backstory after that.
>>733734701That was obviously just them leaning into nostalgia.
>>733731868isn't there mods that allow you to respec for free in game
>>733734837let me cope
>>733732394Plague javelin is better at low gear though it too suffers from immunes
