    This isnt by any means the best set in the game, but it is quite a bit better than most. I managed to get a complete set of this fairly early in a ladder and it was actually an excellent stop gap before gg gear.

    I really enjoy your thoughtful, thorough approach to these breakdowns. I'm sure you have a ton of content lined up, but I wanted to ask if you have considered doing anything like experimenting with interesting mercenary builds. For instance, my barb has a barb merc with an Eth Colossus Sword Voice of Reason, and Leviathan Shell + Vamp Gaze. And I'm also experimenting with Giant Skull Bone Visage with 2x 15%ias jewels for knockback and swing speed. He's flinging frozen orbs and ice blasts all over the place. I just think you would have a good take on something like that.

      at the moment I am working on content for the next few weeks lol, pretty backlogged. I do have an entire video on mercs but It's hardly as thorough as every possible combination. It's about 5 hours long if you want to have a look see, and it does have time stamps so you can flip around to what your interested in.

I'll throw it on in the background while I work today and see if anything catches my attention. I wasn't thinking of *every* possible combination, just interesting mechanics/gear combos that get us away from the A2 merc that is so pervasive.

    They should really revamp the whole set idea… some sets with level 29 boots and level 71 armor makes no sense… plus a lot of items have affixes on them that make no sense… I also think every set item should have green bonuses ..

    Really like your videos for how you break each item down to it's merits and flaws and what it can be used best for! :)
    I was always kinda curious about using this set (with upgrades) on a Frenzy barb along with the Bul Kathos set (especially since they gave that set a good boost in patch 2.4) so that'll be both sets equipped at the same time.
    Combined set bonuses seem to be pretty decent with a whopping 550% damage to demons. Sure it's off weapon ED but that's still quite a lot.
    Throw in an Arreat's face for the helm and maybe put in one hard point for berserk to deal with physical immunes (either directly through berserk or the magic damage that it gives frenzy although it'll require quite some + to skills to even possibly hit a decent amount of magic damage but the dual set combo with arreat's face already gives +7 to all skills)
    Right now I'm trying to put this idea into practice but am still in the process of farming the items. Obviously I don't expect the end result to be as powerful as using rune words but it doesn't seem like it's gonna be a completely weak build either and that hell difficulty might still be viable with this concept?
    Any chance you'd be agreeable to doing a video on this to see what it's like? Totally understand if you're busy with other projects instead but was just curious.

      @@GGMentor Tried it! It's pretty good! Managed to clear Hell difficulty relatively comfortably. Physical immunes were annoying but not unmanageably so. Even managed to go up against Uber Diablo and the other Ubers (albeit with help from life tap charges) except for Uber Baal. His Physical Immune spawns are just too much to handle. So Uber Tristram was almost doable had it not been for Uber Baal.
      Update: Went at it again and this time I succeeded in defeating Uber tristram with the dual set combo! It's just about possible! Using Howl made a world of difference and was extremely useful against Baal and Diablo. Thanks again for all the D2R tips!

    Well, I technically can use this set even at Hell difficulty for any class but casters will find it easier to play with I guess. Just because until you find a decent weapon for fighter class, not even talking of creating a runeword like Grief, you'll find at least 3 full Immortal King sets :)

    It's weird how only with the body armor equipped, the 3-piece poison damage set bonus changed to 11 over 1s.
    In the video when you have 3 and 4 pieces equipped, body armor excluded, the posion damage from set bonus is 22 over 3s. But when you have 4 and 5 pieces equipped, body armor included, the poison damage is again 11 over 1s.
    Anyhow, it's definitely a negligible amount of damage 😂 They should bump it up like 10-15 times.

      @@zeusmapula6865 Poison damage does not stack, no. In fact, poison damage will only apply in a frame if no other damage is applied in that same frame (with the exception of open wounds). I.e. it's the other way around, a higher frequency of hits on a target will actually lower the amount of poison damage applied (although marginally).

    I've had the boots for a while, wasn't particularly useful so I just have them taking up space in my ridiculously limited inventory. I just picked up LoH gloves, I'll be using on my Zealadin. This set is in need of a make over. It just doesn't make any sense. For a melee character that armor is kinda weak and limited with its stats. It needs to be more like a Tal Rashas for melee and it's kinda failing at it.

    If a paladin wears the gloves and has 20 hard points into fist of the heavens, that free holy bolt will do 3636-4848 magic damage to demons and undead... Fist of the heavens gives 50% per point so at 20 points that's 1000% so it's actually very good for a free holy bolt. Mind you spending 20 points so your on melee hit proc can do a bunch of damage is not very good. You won't be using fist of the heavens and honestly you might as well just build full for FoH, since you can also max holy bolt itself and proc a massive number of like 10k damage holy bolts.

    • @GGMentor
      @GGMentor  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You are calculating it wrong.
      On hits skills are effected by synergy bonuses, but not plus to skills or the actual level of the skill.
      If the gloves say level 3 then it is frozen at lvl 3.
      Then you take the lvl 3 damage and add 1000%
      So the correct calculation would be
      24-32+1000% = 264-352 per bolt

      @@GGMentor You mention the defense numbers as if it always comes with those numbers, but they are not fixed. When an armor does not have %enhanced defense, the armor will drop with a random defense in its range. Items that have %enhanced defense will always roll the max defense value on the base item and then apply the ed. This goes for all armor (white, magic, set, etc).
      For example Laying of Hands - they are bramble mitts, which have 54-62 defense, then with the +25 it becomes 79-87. You obviously used some kind of perfect drop mod or something along with hero editor to show these sets, so the values are all perfect. But the item itself could spawn with less defense.

I've always wondered if instead of having all these useless items clog the item drop table, just have these items spawn with Charsi, god knows after 20 years Im sure she has PLENTY of back stock. LOL It's honestly the only way these sets will probably ever be used if Blizzard doesn't make more changes and free up the table so people wont have to spend months collecting items or dealing with trade/resell websites. Those places only exist because of items being so incredibly difficult to drop and being actually useful and then the stat split on some items is so severe it renders MOST of the drops Charsi food.
