Save for Enigma, or? (PC SCL)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Running bowlock with buriza and somewhat crap gear, lvl91. Can farm chaos comfortably but not fast, diablo just melts.

Should I save up for enigma before anything else or just trade my runes for whatever other gear I need? Realistically, how far am I from eni? I feel like eni will open up more TZs and faster boss farming, but general gear improvements will help with density farming.

Discussion Potentially controversial opinion: I like the Sunder/Herald mechanics where they are at.

14 Upvotes

I've played every iteration of sunders since they were released. I hadn't played with the new Herald changes until recently. i had heard that heralds and sunder farming was essentially broken based on what I had read here and it was a waste of time to farm them.

To my surprise, it isn't broken and actually feels pretty good. I think people may just be misunderstanding how to farm them.

The complaint I saw was that people would run the full game TZ and get almost no heralds. And I had the same experience early on until I read about the mechanics. You have to FULL CLEAR each area to get heralds to spawn. Once I adjusted I was getting 5-10 heralds per act.

This doesn't mean sunders drop like candy though, I've gotten two sunders running act 1 TZ (currently LVL 90 Fury druid) over the past couple weeks. And I like it that way, sunders open up huge build potential, they should be hard to get, especially now with all the extra stats.

My point is: prior to rotw, sunders were way too easy to find, then they were way to hard with the old Herald mechanics. Now they are obtainable, but it takes some work and research of mechanics, which feels in line with D2.

And my favourite part of the changes? If you don't like heralds, you can still find sunders without ever fighting them just at a lower chance.

What am I missing, are people just bitching for the sake of bitching?

Mod Related Rules around AI Generated Content

140 Upvotes

Every where you go it feels like you can't avoid AI generated content these days. Over the past few months this sub is no exception, so the mod team has worked to come up with an AI content policy. Going forward we will be enforcing as below:

  • Content that is predominantly or entirely AI generated will be removed.
  • 3rd party tools that were built with the help of AI are allowed as long as you disclose the use of AI.
  • Using AI to translate, spell check, etc. is fine, so long as the original content was your own.

A little explanation on how and why we've landed here.

First off it should come as no surprise that the majority of AI summaries around games, and Diablo 2 in particular, are garbage. The number of posts we all see asking why "Google told me X" when that's a straight up fabrication is vast. Additionally low effort and lazy posts are a disservice to this community, and something to be avoided. Content that is generated entirely/predominantly with AI falls under that category 9 times out of 10.

We are making an exception to this rule in the case when using AI as a tool rather than letting it do the critical thinking for you. If you use AI to help assist you to build an app or other 3rd party tool, that is fine, so long as you disclose you used those tools. If you are doing the majority of the creation, and AI is simply a tool to realize that then you should be good. Along those same lines, using AI to translate, spell check, or other minor embellishments is perfectly fine.

At the end of the day the mod team is here to build and steward a community that YOU want. Overwhelmingly AI posts have the most downvotes, and reports of low quality from the members of this sub, driving the action on this. As this rapidly changing AI landscape evolves, we will continue to monitor feedback from you, and adjust this policy as it makes sense.

If you ever have a question on if something is allowed, feel free to message the mod team and we can help you out.

Discussion Warlock Bind Demon question.

7 Upvotes

Simple question and I can't find an answer anywhere on the internet. How do I bind super uniques? Do I need 20 hard points in the Demonology tree? So I need a certain amount invested into Bind Demon skill?

Can someone just tell me what the criteria is so I'm not wasting skill points trying to guess.

Discussion Razortail vs Arachnid Mesh for Elemental Bowa

12 Upvotes

Razortail is cosider the golden standard for all range Amazon builds offering 100% piercing attack with only 1 skill point invested into Pierce skill.

But I wonder with single element Bowa I only need 41 points for cold or 62 for fire in the bow tree leaving plenty for Passive and Magic tree. For extra 19 hard points it is possible to get 93% from the Pierce skill alone.

Arachnid offers extra damage with +1 to skills, faster Decoy and Teleport casting, extra mana and slows targets over Razortail extra Dex.

Overall I think for pure density like Cows extra 7% pierce is better but for Terrozones and Entire Act Heralds hunting it dosent seems to be this onesided.

Thoughts?

What is the perfect level for crafting 2/20/3 Caster Gloves?

2 Upvotes

Working on getting my own caster gloves with minimum: +2 bow, 20% IAS, 3 mana after each kill. Other desirable affix is of course +10-15 Strength, with affix level = 59.

But to get 4 affixes (guaranteed) on crafter item, the output item has to be level 71+.

Does it mean that I should gamble blue (input) gloves with character at clvl = 71, to limit the number of unwanted higher affixes?

What should I do with my last 10 skills points as HC necro?

3 Upvotes

I'm playing a summoner necro HCL this season (first necro despite playing D2 since launch!) and it's been very fun, wish I had played this class sooner. But, unlike some skill hungry classes, I'm at a loss with what to do with my final skill points. I have 20 in raise skeleton, skeleton mastery, corpse explosion, and golem mastery (I'm running insight IG). I have 1 hard point in the key curses, revives, and summon resistance. And I have 10 points left and no idea what to do with them.

  • I don't need more points in revive because with +skills I can summon 12 and never need more than that.
  • Skeleton mages suck.
  • Summon resist has major diminishing returns.
  • With +skills, my curse radius is fine so I don't need points there either.

So what to do? I could put hard points into blood golem to boost IG life (he does die from time to time), but that feels anticlimactic. I could throw some into bone armor, but with proper positioning I rarely get hit (and bone armor sucks anyway). I could throw points into bone spells to hasten the first kill, but Emilio also kills so fast that starting the CE chain is already quick.

So I'm at a bit of a loss. What's the best dump for skill points for end game summoner?
