    Guardian Anna - D2R Bowazon

    Been progressing a few HC chars in D2R. Apart fromt his Amazon, a Wind Druid, Blizzard Sorc and Hammerdin are in the making and will then more or less complete the "classic builds", so that I can finally go for some fun niche builds in D2R. ;) This is my Guardian #12, a Bowazon named Anna. A...

    In-Depth Nova Sorc Guide in D2R with Focus on Cow Running

    In D2R, Nova received a significant buff with Static Field (SF) now being a synergy, greatly increasing her damage output. Considering Sunder Charms and the ability of lightning characters to easily bring resists further down with items like Griffon's Eye and Crescent Moon, she can run all areas...

    Guardian Saico -- Mosaic Sin Craziness

    This is my D2R Guardian #9 (others reported here, mostly) -- and oh boy, what a build this is. Honestly haven't felt such a power level since making my first Infinity and taking a Javazon to the cow level many moons ago. :) In fact, this Assassin feels even more OP, since apart from the crazy...

    Time for the results for the 3rd edition of our little Finding the Balance MF/RF tournament! Signup and running thread can be found here.

    PvP Adventures – Characters, Planning & Progress

    Intro Most of my D2 activity in recent months revolved around PvP. Which in the SPF environment is weird. No torch and Anni, no Anya bug fix. No D2R to address all that because no TCP/IP. Why go for that? Because. It. Is. So. Much. Fun! Other players have more PvP experience and better gear...

    Next MF (and RF?) Tournament? Interest & Timeframe

    Hi everyone, While I haven't played much recently, I expect to have some more time for D2 as we approach the end of the year. In recent years we often had "small" tournaments in between the bigger and more time-consuming events such as MFO and RFL, and I was wondering if people were interested...

    Matriarch Fluffy: Hybrid Bear Sorc turned D2R dual Dream Bear

    More of a "Mat & D2R fun" post. :) This character was started in D2L and then forwarded to D2R after playing through Hell together with @maxicek, @PhineasB, @Vildecor, @D2DC, @d2lover and @snickersnack. We brought characters to Hell solo and finished the Hell run with the group. Legacy D2 MP...

    Guardian Latro (WW Barb) & underwhelming farming in D2R

    Guardian #2 in my HC set sept done (#3 for me overall): Having quested the Barb in the sept here and there in recent weeks, he was in A5 NM when D2R came around, so I figured finishing him was a nice first dive into the beautiful new graphics of D2R and play through the game casually. I had...

    Matriarch Furry – Fuzzy Dodger (Bear Amazon)

    After the Avengers, the next MP project was the Shapeshifting group. With that I welcomed the opportunity to make a Bear Amazon, the last class that I hadn't played as a shapeshifter previously. Here's some gameplay from @maxicek's perspective throughout A5, including some of those awesome...

    Patriarch ZodNecro – Melee 2h/Summoner Necro

    With a bittersweet feeling, here comes the final character in my Zod sept. Pat Baal run: P8 Hell Baal & Lister took a while. :D Final gear & build: eth Ribcracker 'Zod' (259 ED) Kira's Guardian (IAS/AR jewel) Mara's Enigma LoH Gore Rider Raven Froat Rare ring dual leech/AR/res/life War...

    Patriarch ZodPal: Freezing & Shocking Avenger

    Character #6 in my Zod sept. After Mat'ing the Sorc a few days ago, the Paladin quickly followed suit as the Avengers MP group (with @maxicek, @D2DC, @skiffcz, @PhineasB) quested through all of Hell this last weekend. maxicek kindly recorded the Pat Baal run.... ... as well as additional...

    Matriarch ZodSorc – high-defense Dream/Zeal Sorc

    This is the 5th character in my Zod sept, aptly and equally uncreatively named. :) A bit of a special case this one! Recorded a short vid showing her Mat Baal run and gear that she finished A5 Hell with: Not the best showcase of her defense-oriented build idea (see below), but didn't bother...

    Patriarch ZodDruid: Fiery Fury Druid

    Very brief report on Zod Sept character number 4. His Zod item was an ethereal Earth Shifter, a drop that prompted me to start the sept. The unfortunate thing was that I recently played a Druid with Earth Shifter, so in order to differentiate the two (and to make the most of the eth Shifter)...

Like several other recent tournament formats (see e.g. here, here or here), we will combine magic finding (MF) and rune finding (RF) for this competition. You...
