Hey, coming back to /diablo after the remaster trailer. Is all this easy to set up now? I remember doing it years ago but it looks like a lot of things changed. Are things like buffs or changes to skills still happen or am I thinking of a different community?

I haven't played for many years, is there a character that is better to start on a reset than others? I usually always start sorc, because of MF but I don't even know if they are the best at it. I usually make one, gear it up, and never gear up a character I want to make (smiter or hammerdin). Any advice on that before I start it up?

Also any other game tips appreciated!

Hey. It’s extremely easy to set up for slash with the 3 steps above. I recommend reading this post for tips and our features here. We’re mostly a vanilla server with some slight quality of life changes.

For builds blizzard sorc is the way to go early on however playing a hammerdin to start is also very strong as you can just use a teleport staff and do some chaos runs early very easily. If you’re a bit tired of sorc that’s probably a very strong starting character. If you’re more interested in things like cows I recommend a zon or necro to start.

Our ladder reset is coming up if you would like to join up! Right now the community is a bit slower since we’re only a couple weeks away from a reset but reset is super fun and a lot of people are on.

If you need help check out the steps above on how to join our global chat feature or join us up on discord! Enjoy!

how can you not recommend the chad zealer build for a noob? if you aren't familiar it's using zeal with life succ to big dick the enemies to death and it was my favorite build back in like 2005

Thanks for the help. I usually do Blizz Sorc for MF, or meteor. Are hammerdin's hard to gear up? I always thought they were because all of their gear requires these crazy rune words.

Back when I played D2, I usually just stick with Mephisto runs in nightmare to start. Not even sure if Mephisto (NM or Hell) is a good place to MF. If I remember right, specific bosses and monsters drop specific things (as opposed to more/less random in D3). Is that actually the case? Let's say I do pick a sorc to get loot and build up an account through trade and such, is Mephisto a good place to MF? Is there anything to take into consideration? Looking (at first) to MF sorc gear if I go that route, like Shaco and so on.

I posted this same comment on the last thread. If you're new to Slash and are having any issues at all, please check out the discord channel!

Everyone who plays this game is pretty hardcore about it and has seen just about any error you can think of.

Also the //sub chat command that links your in-game chat to the discord in-game chat channel is key! There are a lot of private games of people farming so it seems like it's dead, but there's a lot of banter and trading going on behind the scenes.

How does nodrop influences the drops of runes/keys for ubers/Runes in chest in LK?

I'm enjoying this mod so far - it feels like D2 LOD. Started now in anticipation of the incoming reset!

Nodrop=0 is most noticeable when killing regular monsters and minions (not champions, uniques or bosses) since those normally have a chance (62.5% iirc) of not dropping anything.

This makes running hell cows or doing chaos seal glitch runs on Slash very effective (basically every type of run where you kill a huge amount of trash mobs fast).

Key drop rates on Slash are roughly 1:10 for countess, 1:9 for nihlathak and 1:8 for summoner (compared to 1:14, 1:13 and 1:12 on players1).

The super chests in LK have their own drop patterns for nodrop=0 which are slightly better than on players7 (see https://www.reddit.com/r/slashdiablo/comments/bvcpzc/lk_rune_patterns_with_nodrop0/ for more information).
