what is a good place to sell rare (yellow) items?
I've tried using diablo2.io some months ago, but had no success (probably because it's easier to search/filter for uniques/runewords or because these items have a greater demand).

Same shit as the Runescapefags. They realized no one buys their new prpducts (because they are leftist garbage made by DEI gites) yet millions of people are still interested and playing the old game, so they acted on that to make money - OSRS and D2R / D2R ROTW.

>>734187967
Everything EXCEPT uber baal. I learned that the hard way and lost my hc character to his chilling armor shard spam. I thought echoing strike was a physical attack but apparently the game considers it a spell.
>>
>>734188394
no ec is physical
>>
>>734188419
If that was the case, I wouldn't have received a billion shards at once instagibbing my character. It does physical damage but the game considers it a spell. Baal doesn't shoot those shards at smiters or fury druids because those are considered melee attacks.

If you do it on an echoing strike warlock, you will 100% die to baal because he shoots a shard for each echo that hits him. I had 3k life and max resist and I died so fast that I didn't even have time to juv

I've never attempted ubers before with a caster/ranged weapon user, you fucking faggot. I didn't even know he'd shoot shards at me because he doesn't on melee characters. Keep in mind that he shoots a shard for every echo that hits him and I was right fucking next to him so he shot 50 of them at me immediately.

Nonsense. That's exactly what I did but the shards ignored him and hit me because he's using a melee attack. The armor only targets things that shoot spells or ranged attacks like arrows at him. It's like you armchair diablo 2 players have never actually done ubers before much less attempt it with a hc character

I've only found one SoJ and I'm using it on a Sorc with ES so it's not worth giving up since it gives a shit ton of mana and I'm too lazy to farm NM Andy. My Warlock is rocking two BK's though. That's RNG for you. D2 isn't even my main ARPG so having an enigma and obsession(along with a perfect -15 Flickering Flame on my fire sorc) is good enough for me. I'm not the one flexing how hardcore I am while dying to funny shit. Warlock is so broken that you have to be a retard to die.
>>
>>734191463
So you don't play much. Got it. I farmed up most of this shit in 1 week on ladder starting with nothing. You don't even have a fucking anni after 6 years. I've probably found 16 sojs since the game launched. I have thousands of hours in D2R.

You can get a character way more powerful, way faster in trade so you act like you're playing some hardcore shit when in reality, you're playing something that enables you to gear up way faster. Also, you died on the most powerful character this game has ever seen. You have an invulnerable minion gives massive damage reduction to everything with HC defense and you still lost LMAO

Well, I only had a point in that, too. I didn't realize that baal shot shards at ranged characters much less a shard for each echo. I was completely unprepared since I never experienced that with a ww barb, smiter, or fury druid (the builds I always do ubers with). Losing characters is part of the fun of hardcore to me though so the newbs ITT laughing about it obviously don't understand the appeal. That's what makes hardcore thrilling especially on a new character that you know nothing about

They took daggers away from gambling and vendors once they made them a class weapon. Kinda like how you can buy necro heads.

Sure, bud. As someone who runs LK, you go on massive dry streaks where you want to kill yourself because you wasted ten hours clicking on chests just to get a mal rune and some skillers or max damage/AR charms. Running Tombs or Arcane Sanctuary P8 is way more enjoyable than that shit.

fine i will say it as a new player from PoE, how do you not get bored without a endgame replaying act 1 to 5 is not fun to me, your damage drop off in nightmare everything is immune alongside nothing dropping makes the experience feel like shit and there isnt anything you can do about it you just suffer until you drop + to skills and then you can then continue not having to spam mana pots as much as before and even then you still need to deal with immunes which you cant unless you do some retardation that people found out 20 years ago and act like everyone should know this

act 1 to 5 i played for a week got to nightmare got bored and then dropped it, it needs a endgame imo like project D2 from what i seen from the outside of it

bind a demon with https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Lower_Resist aura

alternatively buy a weapon that has lower resist charges

merc weapon
https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Infinity_Rune_Word

https://maxroll.gg/d2/resources/sundered-charms

That's 4 ways to do it. Now if you cry about not being able to do any of them that's on you. Binding demons is laughably easy.
>>
>>734193518
>fire immune pops up what do you do?
By the time you get to Nightmare act 4 you should respec into either a Miasma build or go Eldritch tree and use Echoing strike, mirrored blades or cleave.

Fire is a build that will need some GG gear to clear quickly because fire immunes are everywhere at that point.

souls don't get a damage boost based on player count. It's just physical damage that's boosted by P8.

The only thing that makes souls easier on p1 is their health is lowered compared to p8, but you're still going to get instagibbed off screen regardless if you're not paying attention.

I really do not understand why they didn't just keep the ability for sunders to drop from normal mobs and have only the ones that drop from heralds be upgradable.
The system is fundamentally dogshit anyway because unless you're wasting shards, nobody is going to spend five minutes clearing a TZ and then spend twenty-five minutes sitting in the same game waiting for the next TZ.

The problem is partly change in player culture. You probably remember if you were around, not literally everybody minmaxxed every single thing, and if you did you did a lot of the heavy lifting yourself (or in niche groups and through forums/irc/etc. or hell battlenet channels).
There were groups of tryhards, sure, and that will always exist, but it was a small minority of all the people playing, most were just having fun and playing the way they liked (Aka, shittily)

Now the way people play games is to hyperfocus on tracking the meta all the time and follow guides for everything, and because everybody else is doing it you fall behind if you don't. So without constant adjustments to nerf or change the current meta, people never go out of the 'I just copied the best build' box, and they lose interest and stop playing after 2 weeks.
>>
>>734212557
Yeah, the system as a whole is flawed. Still, removing the old sunders as a normal drop was just unnecessary. It would at least add some value to clearing normal mobs while waiting for heralds. They went out of their way to worsen a system that was already in the game for several years.

How are you guys such noobs that you even care about blunder charms? Between act bosses, normal tc 85 areas, and tzones you will never have to fight anything resistant or immune to you. Drops per unit of time is the only metric that ever mattered and fighting a highly resistant sundered enemy slows your kills per minute. I never equip em

you can also use a merc to cover weaknesses or you can have a switch weapon designed to do so or you can do what the other guy said and find some source of conviction or lower resis, but honestly 99 times out of 100 you're better off just ignoring poor matchups and running through them

if you're in single player you don't have a ton of options. you can try and slowly bait them off one by one and deal with them to get through or you can try one of the tactics from earlier.

if you're in multiplayer, just get a naj's puzzler or teleport charges amulet/circlet, they're cheap and will serve you well for situations like this where you are cockblocked by terrain. of course, in mp there are a thousand ways to get around any problem so i'm assuming you're in sp.

minmaxers should be relegated to a small niche community like the old days.

If a monster has over 100% resistance (meaning immune) lower res curse is 1/5th as effective. A humble zombie has 120 cold res same as a corrupted rogue and same as the majority of immunes in the game. A level 6 lower res only lowers res by 49% which will not be enough to break their immunity with the effectiveness penalty.
So either you don't play the game or you're retarded.

if you are going to remain stubborn and not respec into dual damage types then your best course is just to skip immunes. a merc needs pretty good gear and bo to survive in hell and if you actually want him to kill things. hell turns the game into kill what you can and skip what you can't kill. a source of teleport like an amulet or teleport staff is good.

It's not aways immediately but it does lead to that. The Warlock as some voice lines he says related to this after he kills the summoner. something like "He was lost to madness, is that what awaits me?"
>>
>>734220064
watch d4 will make d2 warlock some kinda boss who got corrupted by demons and became one himself

>>734220064
My understanding is that the summoners of old thought they are hot shit, that they can enter pacts with demons and nothing bad would happen, and realized too late that they are being tricked and getting corrupted or brought to madness. Then new warlocks know the risks, and forcefully bind/enslave demon instead of trying to reason with them.

Diablo on Nightmare

So far basically every boss on NM has been a total pushover, and with how much of a pushover Baal was already on Normal, I except him to go down in seconds.
Now I am wondering: Why is that? Is the jump in compounded damage from skills and from being able to find actually useful gear that high?
And is Hell really going to be a jump in the other direction again? Playing OG LoD btw.

You get your best spells, enough points to invest into them and their synergies because you turbolevel in nightmare, and instead of wearing some garbage blues and rares + Stealth you have access to a bunch of good cheap runewords and maybe a lucky good unique.

If you're doing them on single player, you HAVE to do full game clears. Any heralds below tier 4/5 don't even have a chance to drop the charm, and the t5 ones are stronger than ubers bosses and will oneshot any class on top of having a permanent AoE damage aura that I think is either physical or magic, you can't really itemize against it. It's absolute cock and balls torture unless you play sorc/warlock, it's like they thought "well we need to make it harder to account for the new sunders being ridiculously overpowered".

At least online you have a chance to get them even from lower tier heralds.

Diablo 2 classes were in no way balanced in 2000 and the game was subject to several patches and ladders.
So again, what the fuck are you talking about.
>>
Never played Diablo 2, but played a bunch of Path of Exile 2.
Is it generally agreed that this is a good version of it or are there reasons to play the original?
>>
>>734238841
tfw old lightning mastery
>>
>>734239097
The current D2 is...still good? I think if you never played the original you owe it to yourself to play it, or at least early Lord of Destruction. A lot of the changes made since D2R try to sculpt D2 into what later ARPGs are (namely PoE). New runewords and items are hyper focused on one class or one build, providing every stat you want with nothing out of the ordinary to encourage experimenting. Runewords themselves are frequently best in slot options with no thought to consider. Most of the rough edges of original D2 have been sanded away, and you're encouraged to go even further into the zoomzoom grind mindset. Which is ironic considering what D2 is best known for is endless baal runs, but eh.

That said, there are so many QoL changes that going back to the original is very jarring. You don't have quick cast so to cast a skill you need to use a hotkey to change your left/right click button and use those. Your stash might as well not exist. Mana pots weren't sold from vendors so a lot of builds were primarily about basic attacks, with spells being used to break through tough encounters. The game had more...weight? When you weren't effortlessly clearing everything instantly. That said, if you're expecting something like modern PoE, then just play current D2R, it's by no means bad, as far as a remastering it's a solid 9/10 (albeit some Warlock stuff is stupid, and Mosaic was retarded). If you're looking for the historical context of original D2, then you can play a run through the original game.

Go fire, the left side talents in the chaos tree, until nightmare act 4 thats when the fire immunes start stacking up. Then use one of your free respecs to change into whatever you want. Or go summoner in the demon tree and have an easy time through the whole game.
>>
>>734272293
Fire spells till A4 nightmare, then get Insight polearm and go Echoing Strike. With both builds try putting 1 point into every demon skill so you can use Bind Demon to get conviction aura (-resistances) for fire, and Cursed (-physical resistance) + might/fana aura for ES
>>
>>734272590
>Or go summoner in the demon tree and have an easy time through the whole game.
summoner isn't that good early on
>>
>>734272430
Yeah any slot that can have a runeword should. They are almost always better then any unique.
>>
>>734272649
>summoner isn't that good early on
I had no issues breazing though the whole game as a summoner on hardcore.
>>
>>734272726
what sort of skill progression did you do?
>>
>>734272293
I went Chaos+Demon, should I already respec? How many free respecs do I even get?
>>
>>734272804
I maxed goatmen first while putting one point into demon mastery, blood oath and death mark as they became available. I also used my free talent points from quests to work my way to bind demon. Then i maxed demon mastery next, blood oath after that and then death mark. Was increbily easy to beat the game and i was never in danger of dying ever.

ECHOING STRIKE

Most desired helms are either unique or godly circlets. Runewords are good but generally not top tier.

Dominated by Enigma and other strong runewords, true. Almost all elite uniques are so bad they get dominated by exceptional ones (vipermagi, skulders, even shaftstop)
>shield
Spirit city. Also some of the expensive runewords, but what is there good for shields, Herald of Zakarum and Stormshield? And HoZ isn't even elite.

>>734269587
realistically yes, with the abysmally low herald chance and most zones suck ass for actually spawning them, You need an undiscovered champion left in the TZ to spawn, which means chaos Sanct automatically never spawns a herald unless you happen to find one in the hallway.
>>
>>734273287

You can't even farm sunder charms without beating the game lol.

Think I've killed like 30 lv5 so far and no charm, is this normal?

Next season.
Sunders are easy, just up the chance to a more reasonable level. They wanted to avoid the situation from older versions where you get 2-3 sunders every time you run a TZ and start getting annoyed at all the unique charms dropping all the time, just way overshoot it. The easiest way would be to increase your chance for sunder drop with every killed herald, so it becomes almost a guarantee if you are running 3-5 full acts in a row. Then reset the chance on drop.

Warlock should be fine once they fix Echoing Strike. It adds attack rating, but doesn't actually make a hit check, so that's obviously broken. Damage calculations are also fucked up giving it way more damage than it should have. They know what's up so just fix it now.
Everyone was freaking out about Blood Oath giving way too much damage transfer, but apparently it doesn't benefit from soft points, so it's capped around 43% or something when you put 20 points into it. Sounds good to me, instead of allowing it to use +skills from items for the transfer, just fix the tooltip and make it hard poitns only.
Bind Demon, I guess you could make Curse and auras only like 20% as effective on your demon? Simple solution where you still gain something, but it's no longer so ridiculously broken.
Other skills are mostly fine - magic spells are just fine and barely anyone runs them, fire is still cockblocked by immunities for the most part and by the time you get it to run other classes catch up, other melee skills are ok, pure summoner isn't anything special.
