I don't use mercenaries and I play with rares only most of the time, so keep in mind I'm aware of more accessible solutions.... having said that; My personal favorite is to gamble helms to get a decent rare with the Visionary prefix (1% increased AR per level). You can get it as early as level...

This is my core issue. I started out at 8 years old 'playing' who knows what and getting nowhere. By 10 I had internet that allowed me to try Open Bnet (because I could keep my SP characters), had some fun on there. Around 12 I decided to really try understanding the game and played on Closed...

@Vildecor I believe in you! Murtaugh is making steady progress gear-wise. I break up the monotony of Andy runs every few hours by running another target or progressing a little at a time. Eldritch surprised me the most with two back to back drops of the same nice item.... BONUS SECTION

Honestly I've just turned it into a game of 'What's that item?' I think I'm accurate on most, but magic items are harder because then I need to delve in the brainpan and think about the numbers showing and what stats would be good with those numbers on those items. I try not to look too hard...

Okay so, I've been busy... I'm currently still farming NM Andarial for Sojs/Vipermagi. Probably won't be leaving until I have them, just because.

In this image, I am surrounded by Eldritch and his cronies, but only their weapons are visible. Only happened once in several hundred runs.

As far as I know, this topic (efficiency) has been settled for years. At least, insofar as legacy goes. https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/spf-hall-of-records.851922/#post-8597990 A special thanks to Gripphon and all other participants, info gatherers, and general obsessives that made...

Hello everyone! I had hoped to be adding a different character to this thread far earlier, but things change and that character has turned into a very different kind of long-term commitment and I am not certain I will take it to 99. However, I do want to participate in this thread quite badly...

I didn't know that about concentrate! Barb is my least experienced class next to Assassin. I knew about the the sanctuary though, I just meant that the Magic damage from Azurewrath wasn't really needed since physical immunity wasn't an issue... but since you don't swing with them anyway then I...

Depends on how much of a stickler the individual gets about the whole 'no cold damage' on Item Find barbs, since both Azurewrath and Lawbringer both have cold damage :/ I'd take Lawbringer over Azurewrath on almost every occasion though, especially because Sanctuary allows players to bypass...

RL: R&R. This year has had a rocky start. D2: I am stuck, frustrated, and a bit disheartened. Despite my timeline not working out (Guardian before D2R release), my all-Rare Avenger has hit a serious roadblock. I have found some great rares, which individually are excellent in general. However...

There is nothing I have ever wanted fixed more than the Sanctuary aura. It is iconic, cool, niche, and opens up so many neat build ideas.... if it functioned correctly.

Not your typical IFT post but I've been working ever so slowly on my all-rare Avenger. I gambled this- which is the best I've found in several hundred hours- And since I had a SoJ I found while getting to 70 on Normal Nihlathak... It isn't the best of the best and this is probably...

That's an idea. Thank you DotProject. It is just such a terrible and shameful thing that it has come to this. So invasive and unnecessary.

I don't think this is going to be possible with modifications. When you open the game, it immediately pings Blizzard servers to check if it needs an update. If it gets a response, it will remember getting that response and won't let you play until you update. So far, the only solution is offline...

Thank you so much; I added this as a method in the OP and gave you mention. I had no idea the game could be launched that way. I assumed they wouldn't allow it and didn't think to check!

I have heard a variety of different theories and statements about how long it might take, but we shall see. I certainly makes me grateful that console versions exist, so these foolish wannabe security measures are restricted massively. For now, at least, console players aren't expected to have...

Just thought I'd post this for anyone interested. It was discussed in a Discord channel I'm in so I thought I'd repost here so anyone can point to it if needed. They don't make it very transparent, that's for sure. EDIT: Thanks to Coju, I realized that you can bypass the launcher entirely. If...

Generally speaking, those sockets are not used at all during questing. They are almost always saved for end-game unique items that are 'Best in Slot'. This is (again, generally speaking) almost always after Hell Baal has been killed and the character has moved on to magic finding their dream...

Well, I think it will difficult to fully address that concern until release when we have more information about how D2R performs on the various platforms. If there are game-breaking or easily abused new bugs that give an advantage or something similar, I'm certain there will be disqualifying...
