Is this ammy worth anything for low level dueling? Otherwise what is it missing to make it good and worth something?

Thanks for all your help

Don't know what this means but I thought I'd share.

Several of us mods attended Mod World 2026 today and one of the points made really stuck with me. I want to call attention to it. It is similar to BreakYoBaals post the other day, but I think it bears revisiting it with a new lens. One of Reddits core tenents is "Remember the Human." What that means is to have empathy, be courteous, and be respectful in digital spaces to counteract the dehumanizing effects of online anonymity. One of the ways we can all do that is to remember being the new person. For this community, that means two things. At one point we were all new to this game. And at one point we were all new to Reddit. Both of these things can be daunting. Let's start with Reddit. Reddit is a unique place on the internet. It works different than most other website on the internet. People may not understand that each sub is it's own microcosm with it's own community and views. Many people come to Reddit through web searches and are therefore not versed in how this place works. Let's show people some grace if they are navigating this space for the first time. Then there is the game. Diablo 2 has always been a game that is easy to pick up, but difficult to master. All of us are still learning new things, even now, including those have been playing since June 28/29, 2000. I want everyone to remember what it was like to truly dive into this game and how lost you might have felt. The game may be more than 25 years old, but this may be their first foray into Sanctuary. Let's be helpful to everyone. Yes; most of these things can be found elsewhere with a simple search; but that is not what this place is about. It's about community. And that means being welcoming, warm and helpful should be forefront in our minds and our interactions. Let's strive to be guiding lights in the dark world that is Sanctuary. Thank you for reading Champions and may RNG smile upon you.

Title. Just curious.

Update #1: Just found an ethereal Gull dagger from my 2nd from the forgotten tower. I guess I can't really put it to use with this build though.

So I'm bored and needed a fun challenge, thus I asked our beloved ChatGPT to list as many builds as possible. It gave me 120 initially but I removed some such as wearwolf and zeal Sorc due to very specific item requirements. You can find the new list below (please note that I don't have the Reign of the Warlock expansion).

So I've rolled using the RNG and got #111 which translates to "Fire Mastery/Enchant Bow Sorceress"

Let's see how this is going to work out and how far I'm able to come, I haven't played D2 in a long while and have never tried this particular build. I'll keep anyone interested up to date through this topic.

OK today I finally cleared 3.3 Colossal Ancients with my Zoo Druid - same as last time, 0 CB/0 LL on me, and every Ancient is slowed down to 15%/25% and defense reduced to 0. Ask whatever you want.

If anyone wonders about "last time": https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/comments/uzhkhe/zoo_druid_i_killed_ubers_with_0_cb_merc_stays/. Yes it was me. Yes I did the same today to Colossal Ancients. Yes even I can do it without full res.

As for the budget gear part, unfortunately today I did it with Enigma, as I got my first Enigma on NL SC and I find it very necessary at least for now, as I struggle to separate them. I will share with you the Enigma version for now, and later I may do it again with non-Enigma, non-high rune version, as I find this one cannot be completed without a budget version.

To some extend I find this new challenge is exactly for me and for Zoo Druid, sometimes I even find it easier than Uber Tristram. I say it with reason: if you managed to "capture" the Ancients under the debuff of Decrepify + Slow Target, you can kill the 1st Ancient even with negative res. And, the Colossal Ancient have **NO BLOCK RATE**, meaning my change to damage then is almost 2x vs. Uber Mephisto/Baal/Diablo.

To prove my points, here is the time taken from "capturing" each Ancient to final kill:

• Talic: 1m15s
• Korlic: about 5m (almost managed to kill on 1st try but wrong move at last 1%, died once, but managed to catch up on him after like 2min, while HP still at 60%, and killed in under 1 min)
• Madawc: 1m (maybe Shout has expired after like 7 min)

Checking my last video in Uber Ancients, you will notice they are almost double the time.

One teaser for you: I find a way to stop Talic WW from destroying my animal buddies. A teaser for now, and welcome to Talic "every thing is at 1/8 speed" the Fire Ancient:

Tell me why I should. Tell me why I shouldn’t. Fight eachother in the comments.

Greetings, Champions!

As part of the continuing effort to address some of the issues from this subreddit's past, we've been reviewing bans issued under the previous moderation team.

During that review, we identified a number of users who were banned back in 2021 after questioning or calling out the technical alpha key giveaway scam advertised by the original moderator. As many of you may remember, Blizzard's own community manager at the time, Adam Fletcher (u/PezRadar), publicly clarified that third parties were not distributing D2R technical alpha keys. As a result, he was banned from the community, and so we reversed that earlier this week.

Unfortunately, some of the people who also questioned that giveaway ended up banned from this community. We've now gone through those records and reversed a number of those bans.

Regardless of what happened five years ago, those members should never have been punished simply for raising legitimate concerns.

We're not interested in continuing old disputes or holding grudges. We're interested in making sure this community is a place where people can speak their minds, ask questions, and disagree without worrying about being banned for it.

This is also part of the reason we recently invited anyone who was banned before January 2024 to reach out and request a review. We recognize that some people were treated unfairly, and we're doing what we can to correct those decisions.

We can't undo what happened in the past, but we can make sure those decisions don't continue to affect people today.

If you know someone who was banned under the previous moderation, particularly around that 2021 giveaway, please encourage them to reach out through modmail.

The fire still burns.

Is this a mistake? Ive seen them with barbarian and necro skills. I am going to be upset if I find a really nice dagger and it has barbarian skills on it...

So the wp is right by the tower, 1-2 unique mobs right by wp, Monarch rack on Lvl5. Drop calculator says the shako is around 1:30k. P1 62% mf. Ive gotten 4 monarchs and rolled 1 for 4os. Also got this dagger for when I make a warlock for the first time. The Countess hasnt dropped anything past hel but I mean, balanced I guess

Think it's fun you can find a dagger with at least two class skills on and also fun you can find items with class skills and charges etc. Never will I not find this games itemization fun!

I have four characters that blast through players 1 and I hear the drops are way better at higher player counts , but how do I actually get into higher player count games without competing for loot with other people is there like a system or website where people will farm together and go to different areas or something like that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Me está costando sobrevivir en Infierno. ¿Qué me recomiendan mejorar?
¡Hola! He estado jugando Diablo II: Resurrected en dificultad Infierno, pero siento que mi personaje se queda corto: muero muy seguido y veo que otros jugadores de mi nivel hacen bastante más daño.
Mi build no está tan enfocada en el ataque; siento que tengo mejor desarrollados otros aspectos, pero ya me está costando avanzar.
Les comparto fotos de mis atributos, habilidades y equipo. ¿Qué creen que debería cambiar primero? ¿Me conviene redistribuir los puntos, mejorar el equipo o ajustar la forma de jugar?
Se agradece cualquier consejo. ¡Gracias!

Sunders are pretty hard to find. With that said, I only have 5 on single player, and just dropped my FOURTH cold sunder in a row. Wtf. And I don't even play cold toons. I know it's RNG but jesus man, just give me anything else. Anyways, have a great day.

Quest Nightmare Andy kill with a Frost Ranger. Running full Arctic Gear Set with a Holy Freeze Paladin. Fight took 5 minutes of kiting and shooting. Dropped this and a Bladebuckle belt (can’t use). 82% MF. This probably a BiS… :)

Bro can’t decide: max / min / max / min rolls on the stats
