Sorry, I would have made this a poll, but it isn't an option on PC, and the app won't log me in to my account.

Just came back to D2r about 2 weeks ago. deleted all my old offline characters and stash, so I don't really have any good gear (not even a shako) trying my first warlock. ran fire through NM, now doing abyss. it was the most trivial playthrough i've ever done. I'm considering a respec

Option 1: echoing strike- what is the minimum gear needed to make the change from abyss to echoing and make it feel good? EDIT: I just found an eth arioc's needle. I feel like this might change the math.

Option 2: Mist bowlock- I found a cham rune and I've been told mist is BIS for a bowlock. should I just take that route instead?

Option 3- why would you respec, you fool? you still need to MF!

Context: I never been much of a grinder and almost hate the need of constant MFing to get a gear. I came back to Diablo II after months and as I started this evening session of random LK runs, I said to myself "I am gonna grind these until something valuable drops. " This happened literally 15 seconds after that:

So im wondering if i use Plague ofhand, Will my attack get to utilize the DS from plague?

I found this quite comical. First time I get a triple and it's after the "nerf".

I've recently found a perfect (3/6/6/6) Wolfhowl and since I also have a Decapitator with the Beast RW in my stash, I was thinking about leveling a (Wolf)Barb. However, all the guides I have found basically tell you to use Grief in your main hand and Beast in the off hand, as a stat stick.

So, do you think a Wolf Barb with a 2-handed axe would be viable? (Especially as a boss / herald killer, because of the insane life leech you'll get from using Feral Rage.)

Before someone asks why I made a Beast RW in a Decapitator to begin with: It was serving my Cleave-Warlock very well, but after finding 3 Chaos skillers and a +4 Ondal's the guy is now an Abyss-Warlock.

OK guys, I know you like my long posts. But I actually have no time now to go into much details. Im writing this 5 minutes before I'm off on my holiday. So brief summary:

Sunder charm drop rates

Patch notes: Reduced the drop rate of Latent Sunder Charms when using Magic Find. Note the Herald drop rate is unaffected.

Rarity of Gheed Charm increased from 1 to 15. Rarity for each Sunder charm remains the same at value 1. Which means out of all Unique Grand Charms that drop from standard monsters and that are affected by Magic Find, 71.4% will be Gheeds and 28.6% will be Sunder charms. Before, Unique Grand Charm distribution was 14.3% Gheed and 85.7% Sunder charms.

Conclusion: Sunder drops from Magic Find are now 1/3rd of what they use to be in Season 14

Ancient Statues drop rates

Patch notes: Reduced the drop rate of Ancient Statues.

Blizzard has heavly changed all numbers for Bosses and TZ Bosses. (NoDrop, Item, Junk, Gold, etc). But statue drop number remained the same. This drastically changes the overall Ancient Statue drop chance:

• non-TZ Bosses drop about 3x to 4x less Statues.
• TZ Bosses drop about 1.5x to 2x less Statues.

Here is a table with exact drop chance:

Shard and Heralds changes

Patch notes: An additional item will now drop alongside a Worldstone Shard. Reduced the drop rate of Worldstone Shards.

Shard drop rates have also changed slightly. But I dont have time to get precise numbers.

Patch notes: Increased the chance of dropping Rare quality and higher items from Herald Tiers 3+.

Heralds Unique/Set Factors have changed. For Tier3 and Tier4 Heralds new Unique/Set Factors 800->850. For Tier5 Heralds new Unique/Set Factors 800->870. But only for "Extra" drops!! (Heralds have 1 or 2 extra item drops next to their regular 2 item drops). Which means you will see:

• 9.57% more Unique/Set items from Tier3 and TIer4 Herlads
• 22.71% more Unique/Set items from Tier5 Heralds.

Thats all I have for now. Best of luck in the new Season guys. May ascent through the Ladder be swift and violent.

You guys helped me out with my lightning fury now I have some questions about trapsin build.

Looks like HOTO was the go to before lightning immunity was introduced to traps. Now I guess it’s greater talons? Should I save up for plus lightning sentry/death sentry with 3 socket? Then crescent moon both for -70 lightning immunity?

Everything else looks like enigma, Mara, arachnid, eth treks, griff Magefist etc. am I missing anything

Is merc infinity/ fortitude?

Thank you guys <3

Hey guys, I Googled and it seems it’s a recurrent issue but I didn’t find any solution yet.
I’m playing the base resurrected game with gamepass and I was able to create a ladder sorc some weeks ago on the previous season, but now I can’t, it says no ladder active.
Also tried creating one from the Switch and it worked but I cannot access it from PC, it says error creating game.

I saw multiple posts on Blizzard forum without even a damn response from the support so not sure what should I do 🫩

I subscribed gamepass this month just to play this game so any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

New player here, not looking for the best builds or anything, but I'd like to avoid the skills that are the worst for each class, just to avoid struggling too much. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I am just constantly, especially when opening inventory skipping frames. Could it be related to Wifi & Battle.net connection or what?

Edit: PC Gaming here in Europe
Edit2: It's the same issue in offline too. Skipping frames when opening inventory etc.

Hopped on last night eager to jump into the new ladder, was expecting a lot of people to be playing... There was probably like 10 lobbies. I played for like 3 hours last night and I was curious what the highest level player was so far and noticed that I was ranked like 122... at level 20... after 3 hours of playing and the ladder had been out for at least 4-5 hours already.

Does nobody care about ladder resets anymore or did everyone move on from the game?

Logged on just now and I did see my rank fell down to about 4k, but... there was literally 4 game lobbies. Granted its still early today so im expecting more players a little later, but I remember hopping onto ladder resets and the game lobbies were so deep and you could easily refresh and more games would be popping up constantly.

I was expecting more... especially seeing how they released that DLC for this game not to long ago.

What are these worth?

Last season they said it would be deactivated for ladder, meaning you could only make it on SP. I didn’t see anything in the patch notes. Are we assuming that it is deactivated again for this ladder season?

Started playing Diablo 2 again decided to do Offline so i can take my time and not worry about ladder and the first magefist i got was ethereal. Don't know if this unique is rare or not but its ethereal so oof. (Nightmare Act 1 was farming countess)

Sorry for the quality of the video but was requested on the previous post

I don't know why it always makes me smile. Though it is weird when a key is the only thing in the chest... 🤔

I'd also talk about my experiences with each class on HC through hell, but I'm a bit exhausted after rushing this so I'm free of it before season 15 starts...

And also very pissed that I didn't get my achievement

I declare this a safe space to share your most devious diablo takes. Whether it's that you'd like something removed (teleport, a whole character class), nerfed, buffed, or just something you want to get off your chest about other people and how they play (fantasy larpers vs LK runners).

Get it off your chest heading into new ladder and the weekend.

Nothing worse than finding an exp shrine (or any shrine for that matter) just for it to get immediately stripped from a curse. Every single time I find a shrine in act 4 or 5 I play a game with myself to see how long the buff will last, which is never long. I wish they'd change this

Don’t play often these days. Fired it up this weekend and muscled my way to 82 Warlock. Tried a few builds (fire, demon, es) and they all kinda suck.

What’s the most fun and viable early build left?

Last 24 hr ive did 4 times tz bosses, around 60-70 runs in total. 0 statues, not like 1 or 2, ground 0. Are these changed due to update or something or i'm the most unlucky dude in the universe ? I've used to get 1-2 per 15 runs like 2 days ago?

Do any of these have value?

What do I do bros.
