First Uber Experience

I did it!! Mephisto dropped me in about 2 seconds as I was trying to curse him with a life tap wand. I had to exit the game and rejoin, I rebuffed with treachery and rolled the dice with just dracs. Thankfully life tap happened quickly and it only took 2 full rejuvs to survive before life tap. After mopping up the minions I went in after Diablo and Baal together. I made quick work of Baal no need for rejuv or anything. Diablo gave me the most problems, I tried to smite lock him bu he kept bone prisioning me which costs me the rest of my rejuvs except 1. In the end though I managed to solo it. End result 16/15 sintorch and the climax of about a month invested in building this character to where he is now

(Not like you could really lose with that kind of gear)...|||Nice, obtaining other torches will be now just routine for you and you'll get most adrenaline from worrying if the server/game won't crash

M.|||I still have yet to try this. I feel like it's a huge aspect of the game I'm missing. Is it any problem to finish off the minions or are they just filler?|||Quote:

I usually don't bother about the minions. Takes too much time when you have many keysets to work through. It gets pretty routine after a while.

The minions aren't that hard to kill (a few of them are physical immune though), so if you want to clear the area, it won't be a problem.|||Quote:








well gratz :) next up d2clone




D2clone is a joke compared to ubers. I can beat him with my necro without urdars.|||Gratz man! Meph is a tricky one, sometime he doesn't seem to hit that hard, other times he one shots me through the lifetap.|||Thanks for all the feedback, ultimate goal will be to run into the middle of the pack and zeal all of them down in 45 second or so. I doubt I'll ever get to D-clone status as I only get about 4-6 hours a week and I don't posses a soj to wear let alone sell. I'd love to try any tips to do it cheaply.

Best Merc for LI's

As the title says, I was wondering what the ideal merc setup to take down Lightning Immunes would be.

I'm asking because of my LF zon, but I figured TrapSins and Sorcs would wonder as well.

Thanks in advance|||Holyfreeze Merc is pretty solid, i use him with 95% of my characters actually

Because of the slow and stealthdetection|||use a Holy freeze merc (Act 2 nightmare, defensive) with infinity if you can, or otherwise a might merc (Act 2 nightmare, offensive).

infinity will break most immunes so you can still damage them. (my current setup)

Might merc will do alot of Physical damage and buff your valk aswell so they can take care of the LI's. cehaper option, but in my opinion less effective.

Might will also buff your JAB Damage, so you can switch to that when encountering LI's

LLD Hybrid Runewords

This is pathetic

I stopped Public HLD (2007ish)

*Unless annoying few PvPers & personal-friends with Multi-Aura Barb. (1.12) & Grizzly-Shock Bear*

VLLD & LLD isn't same anymore

Few days ago and today @ USWest SC NL *Normal-mode*

Teleporting level 30ish characters (Non-Sorc.)

*Seen it before but abundant now~*

Self BOing level 40ish characters (Non-Barb.)

How bad was it when White items were around?

Possible for another Rust-Storm?|||anyone who uses those isnt a LLDer.|||Well for the teleporting characters they could easily be using tele charges, I dueled against a barb a couple days ago that kept a bunch in his stash.

But i've never heard of people using bo like that. That's pretty crazy. I haven't checked out nl in forever...maybe I should.

I vaguely remember the white ring era, and games where all the monsters that spawned were act bosses. Pretty crazy.|||Tele charge chars (often from a staff on switch) aren't that uncommon on east these days; you'll often see windies and the occasional wwbarb zipping around the moor. They can actually make for some fun duels, I've gotten in the habit of leaving multiple fissures for them to land in.

However cdm's right on, anyone using such hacked junk is pretty sad and isn't worth your time at best.|||i still have yet to run into anyone using those RWs though. i've been trying to get a bit of NL LLDing in every once in a while and i still run into the same 5 or 6 guys that i kinda know from way back. all the cool people are still cool to duel.

where's mebd been!?|||Yeah fortunately I haven't seen any just yet either.

Then again I hop on every great once in a while too, a bit more so lately, it seems half my /f list is back from crazy long breaks. Hopefully I'll catch you round one of these times.|||On the other hand, people are so quick to flip out about the LLD hybrids that I could barely join a game with someone I didn't know with my necro last season without being accused of using the White hybrid.

He used a crystal sword spirit.

Insight staff on switch.

...|||Mannnn I didn't even know people actually are using things like this. Blowing my mind man. Totally psychedelic.

help pleaseee

k so i recently got diablo 2 and installed it....i then installed the expansion lord of destruction but wen i go to create a druid or assasin after i name them and press okay, the loading pauses.

Larzuk socket quest again, sry in advance

Hi,

im really conflicted on the information that i've been given.

Sorry if this being repeated many times...Just need to clarify

This is the conversation i had with my friend.

Me: DUDE...GUESS WHAT THE deleted I FOUND!!!??

Him: Ur Mom..?

Me: No dude...i found a white suwayyah with AWESOME mods in Hell pits

Me: SO Totally gonna use socket quest on it...Uber Chaos Suwayyah come to

papa!

Him: Dude..dont use the socket quest...anything from pits only gives u

1socket if u do the socket quest

Me: ....really?

Him: Yea really...

Me: ...

I found the suwayyah from a random monster in hell pits...

I read from various sources that mlvl = ilvl... And hell pits alvl = 85

Shouldnt the mlvl = 85 which makes the ilvl of the suwayyah 85?

I know that if any ilvl white is above 40...larzuk should give u the max amount of sockets.

Please clear my doubts...

And 2 more things...

I've recently been doing racking in hell tower. If i were to do a socket quest on a suwayyah dropped from a rack, would i get 3s suwayyah?

What about getting a white suwayyah from monsters in hell tower?

Thanks in advance, and sry for bothering everyone with this.|||i think all hell dropped items should give u max sockets via larzuk...i mean normal or superior quality...and pit is one of the highest area level location with 85.alvl so your friend definitely fails imo...|||When using socket quest on items dropped in hell, it will definitely get the max amount of sockets.

Not so sure on nm and norm.

Btw what are the mods on the claw?

Plus, you and your friend talk strangely.|||Please don't bypass the word filter by half censoring a word. Either let the filter pick up on it automatically, or avoid using the words entirely.|||+3 venom, +2 WB, +1 MB|||Any (white) item from an area past the Jail Level 1 in NM (alvl 41) will get the max number of sockets possible from Larzuk.

Enchantress

Hey all,



Wanted to know what is the best build combo for an enchantress.

read that i should use rune word dream in a helm and shield.

Max warmth, Max fire mastery, max enchant, (duh)! and max lightning mastery

Would that be accurate or is their a better combination? I'm still in the early stages of this build and i have yet to restat. Thank you to any suggestions.|||PvP? PvM? or Enchant only?

That skill setup is great for non-es pure vita/max block build|||Well I consider the basic setup as:

"Passion" in PB

"Treachery" in some cool armor

Dual dreams

Arach

Soj or BK

Some gloves with ias + leech.

gores

Highlords / mara's

max light mastery, fire mastery, warmth, enchant and then slap rest of your points somewhere. Maybe static? Don't forget chilling armor.

Passion is used for the zeal. You should hit around 30 keys of max dmg (at LEAST) with this setup.|||I suggest getting the runeword Beast so that you could also change into a bear whenever you feel like it.

Most Populated Server? SC and HC.

hello. im looking to start a new character but i'd want to start in the most populated server so that trading would be easy. also thinking of making a HC character but i'd need people to play with.

if possible factor in timezones as well. i guess probably certain zones will have more ppl at certain times. my timezone is gmt + 8 and i normally play between 1700-0000 if that helps.

thanks.|||Just play in the timezone that matches your location. There are enough players on all realms.

Playing HC will reduce your trading chances somewhat because there are less people playing HC and people tend to want better (perfect) items.
