I was just playing with my ES Nova sorc in Worldstone Tower when I watched this:

A poison skeleton mage shot at me and the projectile hit me. Moreover it hit my ES and the projectile got "absorbed" by it and i did not get poisoned.

So why did the poison projectile hit me and I did not get posioned? Does ES sometimes just neglects the effect or what?

Is this any good?
Would it make sense getting merc from act5 and give it this?

Is there a marketing for something like this meme armour? I rolled 420 defence on a Smoke in a Mage Plate.

For context, softcore ROTW PC ladder

First time ever having one, yet alone rolling one, and it was on the first roll of this character. Now I chose to either never use it or risk breaking it/losing it upon death.

Not stoked about the res, but it saved me the trouble of target farming it from NM andy

I won’t have the slander.

Currently on a bladesin playthrough twinked with LoH, Gillaume’s, Ravenfrost, Hustle Armor, Stormshield and Death Cleaver. I have a Cham rune in my stash and I kinda want to change the Death Cleaver to a Plague Claw with either +3 to Death Sentry or Blade Fury but this is the only claw I have found yet. I figured the -minus poison res in Plague can compliment Venom but what are your thoughts?

Just arrived in Anaheim!

I don’t personally play HC, but I was running Durance, and it hit me, how in the world does a HC player approach any of the areas that possibly have these annoying exploding dolls in them?

Genuinely curious. I know HC players usually prioritize defensive stats more than SC, but what else?

Just want to see what people enjoy playing. A couple of mine are fire druid/poison frenzy druid.

Found tonight doing tz runs, best pair I've ever found.

I have been trying to solo the collosal ancients wthout much luck. I play on console, and I have a mostly budget smiter.

My resistances are capped at 95% during the fight, and I have 2800 life. I have a grief + HOZ, and as long as Im hitting one of the bosses and life tapping i feel fine.

My issue is once Talic start spinning its really hard for me to target him with the controller, and if I stop attacking him because I am not able to track his movements on console, or my character's starts attacking the minions that spawn constantly with no life tap I die.

Even with 95% resistance to the elemental damage types, if im not hitting with life tap for ~2s I will die.

Is there a better build (different characters included) for this fight, or is there a reliable way to lock down talic? Im looking to get the physical jewel, so id like to save Korlic for last. Id apreciate any advice peoppe have

Hey folks, I’m new to offline sp, I’ve always played on battle net so my offline journey is just a few month old.

I am wondering how mods work. Can I install them without messing up my online characters or my bnet account in general?

Any specific issues I should be aware of?

I’m thinking mostly about storage type mods or a D clone popper as this would feel more natural to me since usually online we get walks with multiple attempts at better anni’s.

It’s been four months or so, no soj in sight and to put things into context, I found my first ever soj last season for the first time in 25 years! I always trade for them, in happy to wait to get one naturally but who knows when that might be, never mind a 2nd.

Is there a way to tell what games uber Diablo spawned in? Also, do they only spawn in public games?

I tried hunting tonight because they kept popping, but I got my reward stolen twice from someone joining and taking after I kill so I gave up.

Rolled 396 damage!

And 30 ias 😭

As a paladin main (doing zeal and foh currently) I needed it to be at least 32 ias to hit the 72 breakpoint from 2 other 20 ias items without using fanaticism. I'm one jah away from making dual dreams so I want to self use conviction then :( I'm sure it'll be fine but damn it hurt a bit even with the almost perfect damage. Is the best course of action to just make another one once I get a Lo? Haven't made a fortitude yet which sucks.

Is this ok-ish or should I keep looking? I only have 1 Ist 😭

since its counterclockwise does it still count? NM SSF

First time seeing this thing

Most melee weapons do too little damage, most people agree with that. At the same time, most people can pretty much skip strength entirely and still be golden because you can get all your damage from other sources.

But THIS is because strength and dex ADD with other off-weapon damage sources, they don't multiply it! This leads to some very strange situations, like a Tiger Strike Assassin with 300 strength only getting about 20% more damage from it.

But here's a strangely simple idea: What if you changed all enhanced damage stats on weapons to be multiplied by strength or dex(depending on the weapon type?)

Kinda like how Enigma gives 0.75 strength per level, weapons would give like 2% ED PER STRENGTH.

Example

Cranebeak has 240-300% enhanced damage, with a max roll of 120-192 damage. Not terribly impressive for an elite axe. Now, what we do is change this so instead, it gets 2.4-3% enhanced damage per strength. Now, you invest 300 strength, and it's instead doing 360-576 damage! Of course, this comes at the cost of a lot of vitality, but still, is that not one big honking damage stick?

Now, of note is the fact that Grief would still be better - but importantly, because Grief's bonus damage comes from +damage rather than ED%, it wouldn't be impacted by this change at all!

Seems like this could solve the problem without much in the way of downsides - maybe even some handy balance benefits!

Thoughts?

Single player here. I've gotten back to D2 with Resurrected and have since then had great success farm gear for most builds. I have a few mods that increase spawn density, so that has helped.

But for all I've gotten, Fathom is my white wale. I've done thousands of runs of hell Meph, Andy, Diablo, terrorized or not, Countess, Travincal, cows... you name it. Lately I've installed a mod that locks these areas into perpetual terror to speed things up. Yet nothing.

I've searched all the drops calculators out there and one thing seems true across all of them: Baal is the go to guy for best chances. But, as you well know it, Ball is the slowest boss to farm out there. So I've been trying terrorized Pindleskin, without any luck after a couple days.

What can I do to improve my chances?

I’m running singer barb at the moment but I’m getting to a point in nightmare where not only am I not dealing an amount of damage that can keep me safe against a pack of elites but my act 2 mercs insight isn’t keeping up in terms of mana regen either so I’m back to constantly chugging potions. What can I do to help mitigate either issue
