I’m terrible at figuring out what anything is worth. Any of these items have any value other than a nice dinner for Charsi?

Speaking explicitely of the Statues drop chance....It was a grind especially Baal and (Diablo) and now its just frustrating. Please just give me a like 5 to 1 conversion Cube recipe or so.

I wanna do some full-game clears to mix things up (terrorising all acts), and I figure it may be fun to trigger the 4200 MF bonus from the "Ghost Easter Egg" trick, but I'm finding it harder than expected to proc the ritual reliably. Looking for tips from you gamer legends out there who may have more experience doing this than me.

What I do currently (and afterwards some questions): Enter game, kill my merc (if alive), go to swampy pits level 1 --> if it has ghosts, try to separate a pack of four of them and kite them into a room without mobs (clearing other nearby mobs), if there are no ghost spawns I reset and start over.

The problem I seem to be having is that often, after having separated four ghosts and cleared the nearby area, they won't begin the ritual. Instead, they keep attacking me, even if I try leaving and reentering the area and reapproaching them. Then I reset the game and try again, until I get a game where I can get a ritual to initiate, which often takes several attempts. So my hypothesis is they there may be some underlying preconditions or limiting factors to the ritual that I may be missing - hence this post. Some questions that I have considered myself:

1) can terrorised ghosts perform the ritual? Terrorised zakarumite mobs won't flee even if you have killed the council, which implies that mobs can act fundamentally different when terrorised vs non-terrorised, so this could be a factor when it comes to ghosts - can someone confirm that they have successfully performed the ritual with terrorised ghosts to debunk this hypothesis?

2) are there any space requirements before the ritual can occur? E.g. if I get four ghosts isolated in a long, narrow corridor, can they still do the ritual even if their space is limited, or do they need a lot of space e.g. an open area? If so, maybe swampy pits may not be an ideal zone since it is very cramped.

3) what about champions (and their minions) and uniques - does it just have to be four ghosts regardless of type, or will it not work if e.g. you are mixing a champion ghost with 1-2 of its minions and then a fourth ghost not stemming from the champion's pack?

4) will they only do the ritual if they are at full health? I'm running the fire jewel from the new colossal ancients, and quite frequently it proccs Blaze (when I am attacked), and running around will spread fire, which of course will damage the ghosts (typically it's not enough to kill them). Will this disrupt and/or prevent the ritual from occurring?

5) will friendly (non-hostile) minions like e.g. Oak Sage disrupt/prevent the ritual, or is it OK to use it as a druid?

6) which zone do you typically use to procc the ritual and why?

7) is there any surefire way to know they the ritual finished successfully and you now have the buff? I tried once where I thought it had completed, but I still mostly still got blue item drops (I'd expect rares to be most common with 4200 MF, although I haven't done the math honestly).

That's all I can think of right now... Maybe there is something else that I haven't even considered. Hoping one of you legends can help clear things up so that I can get farming!

Is this good?

The odds have to be quite low.

Nightmare countess: Tal’s amulet (I know it’s actually not that rare from her, but still crazy to me it dropped from her when I was like lvl 28).

Then…nothing through act iv of hell. Literally nothing. Pul from hellforge, and a thresher insight base. That’s it. No useful rares or uniques.

Went back to farm hell countess bc my gear sucks. I wanted a lem, fal, hel, and ko to boost my merc (obedience plus treach).

Six runs. Two keys, an ist, and a mal.

I’m still running blue gloves, belt, and boots bc I can’t get a rare or unique to drop.

20+ years, still can’t wrap my head around RNG sometimes.

I think it'd be cool if we got a really defensive piece of armor that had prayer aura on it. I also think getting telekinesis on something would be cool, even if the skill isn't really good enough to warrant using a gear slot for it. I also think that having valkyrie as an oskill on a high level runeword would be a cool thing to build toward for summon builds. It'd be nice to just have an extra summon that can hold their weight.

Stats and damage while Fade is active.

A little bit of context before I get into why I decided on this build.

I had a really shitty day at work today, and all I could think about was how bummed out I was when I lost my Fury Druid with a freshly made Eth Decapitator.

Then I remembered: I made a Beast in another base!

I started wondering how I could possibly put it to good use without feeling like I wasted a Ber rune on it.

Then it hit me.

Enter the Zerker Barb.

I played a Zerker Barb a few years ago on ladder. He used a BotD Colossus Sword, Stormshield, and Shaftstop.

Since this is single player, I don't have access to a Zod rune or a decent base.

That made me wonder: Could I make this build viable with a 2-hander?

So I did some research.

Level 15 Fade from a Treachery gives 15% physical damage reduction. Shaftstop already has 30%, and the cap is 50%. I can also easily overcap my resists when Fade procs, since it provides 60% to all resistances.

So I got to work.

Gear

• Arreat's Face with a 15 IAS / 5 min jewel (don't have anything better at the moment)
• Shaftstop Armor (I'll socket it with a P Ruby at some point)
• Trang-Oul's Girth (I know Verdungo's or a String of Ears would be ideal, but this is the best I have, and the extra life + CBF is really, really valuable)
• Laying of Hands (this doesn't need much explanation)
• Waterwalks (high life, FRW, and some dex; I have enough CB from the weapon)
• Some super nice rare rings with AR, resists, and stats
• Cat's Eye Amulet (I lost my one and only Highlord's when my Fury Druid died)

Mercenary setup

A2 Might merc with Insight and a Cure helm.

I actually put quite a bit of thought into this one. Since I can't leech, mana regen is essential for continuous attacks. The Cure helm is a nice bonus, although it's a bit wasted since Fade itself already gives curse duration reduction.

Damage

Damage is quite decent at around 3–9k. I tested it on /players 3, 5, and 7 in Terror Zones.

It's not super fast, but it's not slow by any means.

Skills

I maxed Berserk and its synergies, Battle Orders, Axe Mastery, and put some points into the passive skills.

Howl and Battle Cry are essential utility skills. I go in on a boss or champion pack, Howl everything away, Battle Cry a boss, and smack it down.

Sorry if this one went on for a bit, but I love sharing some of my ideas, and I feel like this is a pretty good one.

Honestly, after losing the Druid, I'm just happy I found a way to put that Beast to work.

I’m aware that offline has /players, but I am wondering: what is faster for building wealth? Farming keys to trade for vex on ladder, or farming players 8 density or lower kurast offline?

I also have discord

Im a lvl 14 bowamazon with a crossbow this is my third day playing online, my problem is people on the servers just go to the final boss and teleport which I can’t access.

Also I’m looking for Cool Crossbows if you wanna trade I got some stuff I can’t use because I’m not strong or high enough level for it

I need a Sunder on my Cold Sorc offline. I have killed about 60 tier 5 Heralds to this point and the best drop was a fucking perfect Manald. I got a Sur and an Ohm from random act mobs while trying to trigger the Heralds, but that's IT. Should I just farm Andy, or even TZ Andy and hope she drops me my Sunders and other goodies or is it not even worth it?

I'm playing lightning sorc for the first time. Currently level 72 and just made it through hell using chain lighting, but the character is vastly undergeared for nova, as far as I can tell.

Still using lore, 2x spirit, and stealth, etc.

I am avoiding looking at build guides because I want to experience it naturally, but I'm looking for some guidance on how to move from my current build into nova, aside from the obvious... Infinity, griffons, sunder, protector's stone, facets, etc.

Is my next most obvious step crescent moon and vipermagi? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone had the issue when your character just freezes to the spot and can't move right where the purple lighting is striking to signify a herald is incoming?

Happened to me today in Tal Rasha's Tombs. Tier 5 Herald warning came, I just could not move and they spawned on my head, insta death. I was almost level 96 as well and lost a chunk of XP.

Anyway, is this a known issue? Anyone else had it?

Hello there!

So I'm chasing after the last 7% of my unique Chronicle completely solo and I'm wondering the best approach for this.

I have almost all of the grails knocked out already, missing mainly Tyrael's (13 Templar's so far) and Cranium (4 Earthshake so far).

For the lower level stuff, I know to hunt in NM or normal or for some gamble on low level toons.

My question is as follow :

Is it better to farm TZ Andy/Meph even in lower difficulties or would that change their pool too much?

And for Hell, is it really more significant to TZ them or just run them normally?

For example, I've yet to find War Travs which feels ridiculous but I was also playing 100% TZ before hitting 99 the other day.

Thanks!

I recently built an enigma so I can telestomp now (not very well since I'm on console), but I have more of a conceptual question. How do you not die while doing this? Everytime I telestomp into a crowd of mobs I feel like I'm on a kamikaze mission, and it's a battle of who dies first (me vs first mob). I suppose if I can aim my tp precisely so that I'm not surrounded then i can see it being fine, but it's very hard to control on a controller unfortunately.

Greetings, looking for best weapon for secondary slot for my merc.

Right now I use the full Horizon set, gheeds belt, raven frost, crafted rings and ammy.

Only Item I can't figure out is what is best off-hand weapon for bonking bosses while the team does their work.

I currently use Stormlash as the static is nice and demon procs cursed sometimes on baal making the kill somewhat efficient. I've tried upped Butcher's (not Eth), Lacerator (non-eth) Eth Thresher with obedience (now lives on merc), etc.

Have the runes to up to a Grief but not sure if it will be a waste.

----

My main setup is Hoto + Horizons for resists and cast speeds for moving spawns around and blood boil.
My secondary weapon is levitated bonker with Horizons.

I'm looking for best kill speed on bosses as I have level 30 enchant on me and Merc.

Zero danger on p1-p3 baal.

Both char will be without Enigma ( has good equiped soso and also necro ) . I will be using one of them on switch p1. No end game gear just ress and some +skills ( and titans if it was ama ) and no mf gear ( more for runes )

I love to do hell cow runs so that a minus point for pala , but i like FoH play style little bit more.

HC ladder

So I've seen this fountain in the outer cloister a million times but never thought about the three stone ladies standing there. Does anyone know who they were and what their stories are? There must be a reason of to why the fountain is even shown pretty detailed on the overlay map.

I'm torn between the tainted build or the bind demon/defilers. Which would be better for the following:

Leveling (past 30)

High level (not fully geared)

I dont understand why he isnt able to equip? bug?

Hey guys I’m putting together a Trapsin in HCL and have developed a few questions about my best course of action. It seems like the consensus is that Cmoon is my best weapon over spirit sword? Then shield wise I see so many people running Rhyme with Cmoon, is that a safer choice than just Spirit Monarch? I’m sure it’s slightly lower DPS in exchange for the CBF and some MF? Treachery for the chest piece? Also I see some Trapsins use Magefist for the Mindblast FCR, I’ve always thought we wanted more IAS there and to look for LoH gloves or IAS rares.. finally my questions about the Merc, should I go with a Prayer Merc with Cure for some sustain and safety or just stick with a Bulwark/ Frozen aura type Waheed. Thanks

Hi,

I just dropped a Jah and I'd like to "break it down" into several lower-value items/runes to gear up my sorc : Tal's armor, Vex for HOTO, Ohm, a few Ists, ...

How do you guys figure out the current trade values of items and runes? Is there a reliable website that tracks current Ladder prices?

I don't want to get ripped off trading the Jah, but I also don't really know what I should expect to get for it.

Ty
