>shock/freeze merc
Do you mean the ones from act 3? No they're probably the most worthless in the entire game, the lightning one doubly so. The freeze merc is sometimes usable against regular trash enemies but is going to be absolutely worthless vs bosses.

I'd stick with defiance. Not only is the aura useful to you, but they're much better tanks as well.

Blessed Aim is pretty useless since it doesn't stack with the Amazons own AR% skill due to a bug, and Defiance requires better gear than you probably have.

Guys I have to confess something. When I was wee lad playing on Bnet, I joined a cow server. We were getting the components together so someone could open the portal (we were just putting the stuff on the ground). No one had Wirt's Leg, so someone went all the way to Tristram to get one. Once he got back, he dropped it near the Tome of Town Portal. Shortly after, I picked up the Tome and Wirt's Leg and immediately disconnected because I thought it would be funny. To this day (literally over a decade and a half later) I still think it's kind of funny I ruined (or at least hampered) someone's cow server.

I'm working on a bug-fixed/accurately described version of Diablo 2, so I want to find and fix as many bugs as possible. It's mostly just correcting lying descriptions (like how Feral Rage/Maul misinterpreting how much leech/stun they give, or Raise Skeleton saying it has way less life than it actually does, or Fire Golem saying it does way more damage than it actually does), but there are some actual bug fixes in it too.

[Anonymous No.7483443]

>>7483408
Old CRT monitors used to build up a magnetic charge that would distort the path of electrons, giving you a fuzzy or warped image and colours after a long period of time.

They would come with a button that would trigger a rapid firing of the magnetic mechanism and essentially reset the screen. Eventually they did this automatically on boot or after a set period of time. It made an awesome 'thunk' and humming sound when you did it.

You could do this yourself with a magnet in front of the screen, or fuck the screen up with one, then needing a degauss. Moving the screen around while on could cause the effect, too.

Lightning absorb is important when fighting uber Mephisto and those lightning niggers that spawn in the World Stone Keep.

I'll try it, last time I played bowazon was before relase of LoD and it was underpowered unless you managed to get Windforce. Maybe time to give it another chance.

[Anonymous No.7486038]

Diablo 2 has been up for 20+ years and until now there's no good guide out there for single players. Not that I am complaining but one of the things that turn off players who want to try it is the sheer amount of information they need to process as they go through the game.

[Anonymous No.7486051]

>>7486025
Yes. If you have enough res to go over the standard cap, those three skills will give you an extra 1% to the cap per 2 points. Stops at 95% with gear on top of that. There's a few skills in the game like that, so it's worth looking at everything in the wiki at some point.

Stuff like points in Prayer will make Cleansing and Meditation also give it's life regen. Valkyrie gets bonuses from a few amazon skills. Ravens have the ability to blind enemies.

Ain't that the truth. Does nobody appreciate the joy of discovery anymore? or learning from mistakes? I remember the first time I finally figured out what crushing blow did. Sure I didn't know the specifics, but I was able to work out what it did. Felt like a god. Or when I realized that summons teleport to you with a tp staff. Gamechanger.

People these days just don't bother to put the time into figuring things out for themselves. Like the countless faggots I see on the PoE threads on /vg/ running a build guide for their very first playthough. Drives me fucking nuts.

I'll give you runewords though, they're somewhat obtuse. But even then, the game does tell you about how to build one, literally gives you the runes for it and says there may be more to discover. Which SHOULD entice you to go look up more, ask someone or just experiment. You don't need a fucking stealth armour on your first character and it only makes you appreciate it more when you can compare how much of a difference it makes.

PoE is actually hard if you don't pick a guide so it's a good idea to follow one on first playthrough (and if you catch with basics, you can experiment). Diablo is not, you can beat normal even with totally shit build.

If it's any consolation, OpenDiablo2 should theoretically allow the removal any sort of limitations. As I understand it, the goal of 1.0 is a fully functional replica of D2, but post 1.0, who knows what kind of cool contributions or forks there will be. Same goes for devilutionX. Sure, we don't get the fancy 3D graphics, but it's still D2.

That would be amazing, both for D1 and D2. Higher res graphics while almost perfectly preserving the original art style.
And here's a thought: for OpenDiablo2, there's no reason a 3D rendering engine couldn't be implemented that could take advantage of the D2 Resurrected models. It would require a great amount of effort to implement the rendering engine and reverse-engineer the D2R model format, but as long as the models are kept client-side (as opposed to being streamed from a server) there's no reason it couldn't work. You'd get a 3D Diablo 2 without having the baggage of needing a Bnet account, or any garbage Blizzard my want to push in the future. Someone just has to upload the model archives to The Internet Archive and we'd be set.

Okay, so enemies have a maximum total number of possible drops per kill. It's like 6 or 8 or something like that, I can't recall exactly.

Using the players command increases the number of items dropped, but act bosses like meph, diablo and baal already always drop a certain amount of items. So it's never worth going over players 5 for act bosses as they literally can't drop more. Hell the difference between 3 and 5 is nearly negligible.

I recall Chris Wilson told that in some podcast, can't find it now. Anyway, game statistics are free for everyone to see.

>According to Steam only 45.6% have killed Brutus and 39% have killed Merveil. I expect that ppl who install the standalone client would do better than that though.

>15.9% have beaten Normal difficulty in a non-hardcore league
8.2% have beaten Cruel difficulty in a non-hardcore league
4.6% have beaten Merciless difficulty in a non-hardcore league

>6.0% have cleared at least one map

>So at least according to Steam, it seems right that only around 5% of players will reach and play maps. That's a statistic that comprehends all the time the game has been on Steam, so it seems fair to think that this number will be higher among current active players.

>Given those numbers I would say that at least 10-20% of the player base that do not install the game once and leave shortly after will experience maps and the Atlas at least in some form. And I am including here a lot of people who doesn't even finish normal difficulty.

>If we exclude everyone who has not even finished normal difficulty, these numbers say that 37.73% of those who finish normal difficulty have at least fully cleared one map (again among those who play or have played through Steam).

It's more likely that people get bored and stop playing the game, you absolutely do not need support gems to kill Brutus. Merveil is actually the first hard encounter where you need to get frost resistance or you're fucked and such a small difference between brutus (45.6%) and merveil (39%) kills suggest me its not the difficulty being the biggest barrier to the people quitting.

If you want to spend such a ridiculous amount of time, go for it. It's only worth it when farming bosses and key areas like the chaos sanctuary in endgame. Don't play the whole game with it on.

I'll use it when I get to act 5, at the first way point there is a boss pack that always spawn right above it. Good for leveling a bit.

Like I (we) told you before, you can either use secondary type of damage or break the immunity.
Holy Freeze is the easiest way to deal with lightning immunes, you just need to level up two skills. You can easily have it maxed even with its synergy alongside HS and its synergy.
Or, if you were lucky and found a nice fast and also strong weapon, you can use the physical route. Simply level up Sacrifice and Fanaticism or something.
Crescent moon shall not break immunities by itself. For reasons you need to be able to lower the lightning resistance by at least 55% to break most of game's lightning immunities. That means you need at least level 10 Lower Resist curse (I don't think you can buy a wand with this from vendors) or level 6 Conviction aura (which you can get easily enough but you will not have active Holy Shock aura which kinda ruins the purpose, unless you have a Dream runeword on some item, which you don't).
And even if you break the immunity, for reasons monsters will still have like 95+ lightning res so you will do minuscule damage, anyway, unless you have Crescent Moon which you also don't. Don't bother with trying to break immunities right now.
Just level up that Holy Freeze. Respec if you have to. Take skill points away from Holy Shield if you leveled it up above 1 hard skill point and put it all into Holy Freeze and Resist Cold. You don't really need Holy Shield above 1 hard point anyway, maxing it is for smiters, not zealers.

The tip to HU I have for you is to load up on diamonds in your helm and armor. First time I played that mod I was having genuine problems despite having two friends with me. Like, I genuinely wanted to quit playing the game towards the end of act 3 normal. I decided to go back to the mod a few years later to see if they had made any improvements. I figured I might try to use the diamonds because they seemed somewhat useful and by the time I got to nightmare I was looking at a vengence paladin that was tanking almost everything while dealing absurd level of damage and nightmare turned out to be easier than normal. It was only when I got to Hell that it started becoming more of a chore to beat some of the game because some monsters just started having absurd amounts of life.

>>7490623
Try to find a 3os Phaseblade and run do some Hell Cuntess runs. Um rune will drop sooner or later. It's kinda rare but not too much. You can also cube it up from lower runes you find from the Countess. You will also level up some and probably find a Lem rune in the process, which you also want. Treachery is probably your best armor (after Enigma). Phaseblades drop for sure in the Mausoleum and the Pit but you are probably too low level for that right now. Some other optional Act 1 dungeons might be what you are looking for.

I can't remember from top of my head but all ghosts are cold immune, aren't they? Holy shock should shred them. Maybe you are just too low level and probably miss a lot. You might want to grind nm Bhaal runs until you are like level 70. That's a nice point where you might want to proceed to hell difficulty.
>>7490750
I don't know the area level but higher levels of the Tower probably also drop Phaseblades along with um runes and elite light armors so it's kinda worth killing everything but yeah, if it slows you down too much I would just skip them.

Alright. The first solution I've been thinking for the charged affix skills is to leave the original special affix system in place, but to change the skills (that need it) to level-scaling versions that get their scaling multiplier adjusted by the actual skill level of the charges.

Would that work or be practical?

I have actually checked the area levels and it seems that Phaseblades can drop in all levels of the Forgotten Tower, fucking Den of Evil (which is actually a level 79 area, never knew that), all optional Act 1 dungeons, the Burial Grounds and in Catacombs 2 and lower levels.
I suggest you do Countess runs while trying to kill everything in the Forgotten Tower as much as immunities and difficulty allows you to in order to get your hands on a 3os Phaseblade. Who knows, maybe you will also drop the Um, Lem, a nice elite light armor and some other stuff. You will also level up.

I will just play single player by myself, I enjoy D2 like that the most. What is the best bigger resolution and quality of life updates mod there is for Diablo 2?

[Anonymous No.7493956]

>>7493937
For quality of life people just use PlugY, which recently got an update to support 1.14d. Unsure on the resolution changes since IIRC that causes issues with the game. The AI is only designed to work within the usual resolution area, so if you increase the resolution with no fixes you can range attack enemies from what would have been 'offscreen' and they wont do anything. There's probably mods that fix that too though.

no you can't add sockets to existing magic weapons in the cube without rerolling the base item, which would defeat the purpose.
the best you can do is horde gems and scepter bases and hope to roll something good.

[Anonymous No.7494195]

>>7494040
Not him but I too didn't realize that quest allowed you to punch holes in uniques. I figured it was the same limitations as the holepunch cube recipe. So thats something I've learned today.

[Anonymous No.7494204]

>>7494195
you can socket set items as well.

[Anonymous No.7494240]

The socket quest can socket rares, uniques, sets, magic, white and crafted items. provided they're not already socketed, of course, or can't have sockets to begin with.
Magic items can never roll more than 2 sockets from Larzuk, but can sometimes roll only 1.
Uniques, rares, sets, and crafted items will only ever get 1 socket from Larzuk.
White items will always get the maximum number of sockets that the item base allows, but is constrained by the maximum number sockets allowed by the level of the item.
For instance, a crystal sword is capable of having 6 sockets, but 6 socket crystal swords can't spawn in normal, so socketing a crystal sword that you found in act 2 of normal will be constrained by its own level and will not get 6, or even 4, sockets from Larzuk. However, a crystal sword found in the secret cow level on normal will always get 4 sockets from Larzuk, since it is being dropped at a higher level, so if you're aiming to socket a white base to make a runeword, Spirit, for instance, always make sure that the item you're socketing came from an area with the appropriate number of maximum sockets.

[Anonymous No.7494321]

>>7494240
>Magic items can never roll more than 2 sockets from Larzuk
If you don't consider time traveling to be cheating, then you can also make characters in 1.07, farm some good magics and 4-socket them, then transfer a character with them to a newer version. A 4os Godly Archon Plate of the Whale would be funny.

The thing, thanks to this d2newfriend I'm feeding my pro D2 knowledge I too dusted off my HS pala and I'm really thinking about making the dual dream HS build. I can make one dream right now and I'm thinking whether to go for it. It's kind of a specialized piece of equipment so I might regret it later because Jah runes don't drop every day.
Originally I wanted to make a Faith bow but I'm thinking whether I really need it. I'm not really interested in physical bowzons but Faith is a rare aura equipment that could be used by more characters, I guess.
Well I don't have the second Jah yet so I guess it's kind of not urgent BUT M-MUH DILEMMA.

[Anonymous No.7494757]

>>7494660
the only character that would use faith is a physical damage bowazon or very high geared summoner that uses revives.

Since physical damaging bowzons have burzia and windforce as options using a jah for a weapon is unusual and doesn't really provide much more benefit than those other two options unless you are multiplayering.

A revive summoner uses a mass of Urdar type enemies who have crushing blow to rapidly and safely kill diablo and baal. With lots of gear to burn you can switch from a might merc to a rogue for the fanaticism as the might aura won't help as much and frees up the necros main hand for mf or whatever he wants. This is incredibly niche though and something that is more of an option for a hardcore character who wants absolute safety for farming.

[Anonymous No.7494767]

I'm no expert at D2 but I've played a bit of it over the years, but never beat hell (furthest I've gotten is a recent necro up to the start of Hell then stopped playing for a while). I have the urge to play a Druid character. What builds are good for that class that don't rely on hard to find shit? I'm thinking either an elemental druid of some sort or a shapeshifter, but no idea what builds for that are viable. Only things I remember people talking about are wind skills for elemental, and rabies for shapeshifter.

[Anonymous No.7494780]

>>7494757
Isn't it better to just equip the necrobro with a Beast?
I'm sure there are more characters that could use Fanaticism aura. HS zealot wants it too, actually, if he wants to use armor that's not Treachery. Even the dual Dream zealot wants Fanaticism aura, either his own or from merc.

fire claws and wind druid are both the easiest and strongest characters you can build and both still do what they are supposed to without extreme gear, fire claws having assloads of life and also doing a ton of fire damage and windy can do whatever he wants in hell with only having to worry about random bosses that are immune to both cold and physical

>>7494925
Its not that complicated in terms of build order. Put some points into Zeal to get to five hits, save up a a point so you can get Holy Shield and Holy Shock once you reach level 24. Then just dump everything into Holy Shock. You'll do some quests that'll give you skill points and you just put those into Holy Shield to max out the block rate.

Faith would probably be fairly useful on a merc for a Holy Shock paladin, since you're never using Fanaticism unless you yourself are using a Beast, which is unlikely, though I guess you'd really want an Infinity merc over Faith.
Most any barb could also benefit, though again he could simply use Beast in one hand.
Might be the most useful on a shapeshift druid to combat the attack speed breakpoint issue.

Also, does a throwadin work at all? Figured elemental auras could make it cool. Too bad zeal or vengeance don't work with throws, it would be a sick build.

I really hope D2R fixes masteries being so specific but it sounds like it won't. Having to horde respects just to use items is a pain and adds nothing to the game when every other class can respec too, but would never have to do it to use a given weapon.

Just compressing would work or they could throw in some other masteries. A % damage reduction would be nice as an alternative or addition to iron skin. An increased attack speed that works with WW would help make a lot more weapons and elite uniques.more viable. It's a trade off of several hard points, but now high ED slow weapons can get up to speed.

I'm putting out Amp when I can, and decrep for dangerous packs, but it still takes my skeletons quite awhile to mow through packs, and any time there's a rezzer like shamans, it makes the fight into a slog(that I'm in act 2 right now full of narrow hallways exacerbates fight lengths). But the real issue is getting the ball rolling summoning my army. It was no problem on normal, but unless I get my follower substantially better gear, then it's going to just get worse as the game gets harder. At the moment without his skeleton crew, he can barely hold his own against one or two small mobs, let alone a pack.

-Even a level 1 CE considerably speeds up the killing once the first enemy in a pack dies, use it a lot.
-Shop a staff with teleport charges from Ormus in Normal, it'll make dealing with cramped places like the arcane sanctuary a lot easier
-Get a proper big stick for the merc, the javelin-type weapons generally have pretty bad melee damage, even some polearm or pike from a shop will do. If the merc is really weak get the ball rolling by killing some fallen shitters right outside the rogue encampment.

That should mostly cover the stuff you're having trouble with. Summoners are on the slower side when it comes to killing, but when your CE gets to higher levels it starts blowing up large parts of the screen and cleans up packs a lot faster when your army gets the first kill and starts the chain reaction.

Replace your helm with a Lore or anything with +skills. Get a better wand, yours is crap e.g. White runeword in a +3 raise skeleton wand. That offhand is nice for resistance, but getting something with like +2 skeletons would be better. You barely ever take damage as the necro anyway.

Doing these would give you at least 60% more skeleton damage.

>But the real issue is getting the ball rolling summoning my army
Go to earlier act 1, just kill fallen or zombies, then waypoint back to wherever you were. Brainlessly simple.

What aura merc are you using? Is most of his damage poison? If so get him a runeword weapon of some sort.

Get a teleport charges staff for minion control.

Are you using clay golem?

shamans and other raisers shouldn't give you any more trouble now that you have CE, but you could also always have just summoned new skeletons from the fallen corpses to prevent enemy raising.
you also might consider making a Strength for your mercenary for the crushing blow, or Malice for the -25 target defense and -100 defense per hit, stacked with amplify damage that might make a difference to your other minions.
and of course as was already mentioned, teleport staff is a must.

At this point, only on bosses to tank a hit or two. He doesn't even do enough damage to reliably help farm out skeletons and usually just gets in the way of the army.

Thank you everyone! Love the teleport wand idea. I knew of enigma, but was tunneling on it and never thought of alternatives.

I'll work on upgrading my weapons and focusing more on +skills and give this another shot. Haven't really used CE much since getting it outside of a bit of testing. It felt like it chews through my mana relatively quickly, is there anything that would return mana on damage dealt or anything? Or do I just need to chug pots harder? That was kind of my issue before, I could summon about 4-5 skeletons before I needed to drink a pot, and it was a battle of trying to maximize casts without wasting mana, versus multiple Returned spamming rezzes as fast as they can, never leaving many corpses at once.

Also, I don't mind having to return to act 1 to get skeletons if I must, but at the moment I'm honestly not sure what would be optimal farming for my necro(what I should be running and how early), as I pretty much just rolled him because having a bone army sounded cool and fun. If I do make it to hell, can necros farm ubers? I've read while sorcs are good farmers, they have trouble with ubers, but paladins can handle them. I'm kind of torn between optimal farming vs. a "complete" experience.

Just saw the lore helm, that's the ticket! Do things like this and with flat and percent returns(if that's a thing) work the same way? And does it extend to CE and minions?

Don't be afraid to sink a few more points into energy, but yes spamming CE is mana intensive. Drink up. Also keep an eye out for mana after kill, like on the Lore runeword I mentioned. Leech doesn't work with CE, but that does.

>but at the moment I'm honestly not sure what would be optimal farming for my necro(what I should be running and how early)
not act 2, that's for sure. If you can push through, getting to mephisto can really help, as he drops some of the best early items you can get. Hell, if you're really struggling, go back and farm act 5 normal for a bit.

>If I do make it to hell, can necros farm ubers?
Yes. Will take a bit of gear and smart play, but yeah they can do it.

Just stick Insight on your act 2 merc. You will not have mana problems ever again.

Good to know.
I have the runes for a lore already, going to try and grab that first and then some weapons and give this another go. Thank you again for the guidance.

the silver lining is that the enemies in A3, especially the soul killers, tend to come in large, though tight-knit, groups as they swarm around you, so it makes catching loads of them at a time with a single cast from your lower resist wand fairly easy.
...you do have a lower resist wand, don't you?

Hello frens, the remake reminded me to reinstall so here I am. Would anyone like to join up for a fresh start on us east? Im down for a comfy grind, but I wont turn down a rush either (especially for act 2). Last time I played was 10 years ago so I don’t remember much and am trying to relearn everything.

The bonus for magic finding caps at players 7, players 5 for Diablo and players 3 for Baal.
Some people even micro manage and for example. Do the Baal Waves on player 7 and fight Baal at player 3.

Although it's slow and shitty, it does feel a lot more cinematic to grind out the early barbarian levels. Are they actually good in later difficulties?

Barbarians are kino as long as your weapon(s) are good enough for the point of the game where you're at, but that's easier said than done without already having that gear ready to go.

Speaking as someone who just finished leveling a barb to 85 yesterday, it becomes infinitely more tolerable once you hit level 30+ and unlock whirlwind/frenzy, but past mid-nightmare you really do need decent weapons to do damage and deal with phys immunes.

Just beat Mephisto on nightmare on my HC zealot. Mephisto was a pushover, but man the Durance of Hate was a pain in the ass. Took me forever to get through the 2nd level, and there were so many of the exploding fetish type guys. Very tense the whole way through.
I also got a Sureshrill Frost drop. Seems interesting since I'm using holy frost and it would help stack cold damage, but doubt it would be better than black. I'll try it out.

you can transmute 3 rings into a new amulet and 3 amulets into a new ring.
basically the only reason to keep ones you aren't gonna use unless you know it's from somewhere with a level relevant to something you're trying to craft.

you can reroll charms with 3 perfect gems in the cube. but you can't turn 3 small charms into 1 large or 3 large into 1 grand. Imagine if you could!
if you decide to roll charms, always make sure the charm you're using came from an area with the appropriate level for what you're aiming for. I only reroll charms that drop directly from Hell Baal and occasionally Hell Diablo.

lel maybe if you want bog-standard skillers and small charms. Though LK is a great place to farm for the flawless gems you will need to fuel your Baal GC rolling.
