@@BenjiAlans IMO I think the trades add a little authenticity to your videos. Most players I see just show the loot which is cool too. However it feels better to see different dynamics of the game. Also thanks for posting.
@@xlatheblackdragon705 Right I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's a little different for the regular day to day players but I really like those sexy trades haha.
The stress I felt doing that trade was crazy. It's a rare item and a good roll is even rarer. Traderie had such a variance in prices in its trade history but I feel 10 jahs is good. The price is always whatever someone offers you :)
It is useless when you're walking and people love min-maxxing (people being me) but luckily, majority of the time I am spamming a skill or teleporting for movement :) I don't know the formulas for how far defense, while active, goes for damage reduction but I imagine it does matter when it is up!
@@BenjiAlans Defense is always zero when spriting. Unless you're in permanent walk mode or a melee character, its almost always useless, Honorable mention to when you get smacked and stuck in hit recovery frames and then it may actually save you, but most of the time it dosnt, or wont, but could.
I really like how you got in depth about the complex story not only of diablo 2 but also the first part and connected all the little hints how this great cinematic universe came to be.
I really dont think that CTA was worth doing. Its been a long time, but pretty sure spirit adds to the rolls onto CTA. So you're giving up 2 levels on those to gain 1 level on ES, since it's only 1 level higher then the +2 on the spirit.
yes but the cta he is making is super cool because you also dont need to swap. optional is +3lightning skills +3ES orb in the qube or inv because its only 2 slots
@jopied_ I had to check but there is only +3 to energy shield which amounts to basically nothing. You lose points on CTA just so you can have an extra one point in energy shield. It's a huge loss.
Before Diablo 2 resurrected got released, i was running some odd places in act 5 for fun with a necro.. I had 3 Mavina's true sight drop throughout the whole day running those places.. I have never even seen a Griffin drop, but that fucking set helm... Yeah i have seen a few.
I’m schocked because I can tell he has a lot more experience than me due to his knowledge of trades and stuff, I’ve only been playing for 2ish years and me myself have probably got 3-4 mavs diadems before, but that was his first time finding one ? But now as I write this I’m thinking maybe he was just talking about the current ladder season. Cause there’s just no way that’s his first right ? Lol
@nostress2600 these bases are extremely good for energy shield (ES) sorc. The extra skill points to ES on the staff make up for, and in fact exceed, what's possible with spirit of lidless wall. Also, its strength requirement is lower!
Cta in 2 handed weapon to get +3 energy shield, when with 1 hand cta and spirit shield you get +2 energy shield. Is that +1 good enought to sacrifice 2 levels of bo from lack of spirit?
@Rotul90 yes. The extra ES absorb provides more effective health than 2 levels of BO, especially when you take into account how much extra strength you'd need to throw in to wear an eth spirit
by some of the Runes for "Upgrades" you've bought, my Heart was stopping. Why not get Forty and all the good stuff for your Merc first. Or already buy some Smiter Gear!
It has to be for energy shield prebuff. But I am surprised as well. You'd only get +1 skill to ES while sacrificing two skills to BO/BC. On second thought, you wouldn't need the high str reqs to equip a monarch with this build. You can throw those extra points into vitality for a nice hp boost or energy to increase mana pool for ES. Idk someone correct me if I am wrong please. I was wondering the same thing.
No you're pretty much correct! The monarch str requirement isn't the biggest issue but I thought it would be a nice switch up to use a war staff for buffing. My survivability isn't going to be ruined either way though
watchin you sell sandstorms for 10 jahs while i just started playing single and threw into bin a perfectly rolled one makes me quite sad. Will take me months to get freaking enigma without trading.
@@RNLaffertyI mean you are not wrong. If you set yourself that goal, go for it. But what I can not fathom is purging a 6/4 cta instead of getting a new base. Of cause he will be worse of 9 out of 10 times. Keep the pretty good one and roll on a second base, and swap it, if the second one turned out better
@dj_dojo these bases are very expensive. As a consequence, purging this many runes is a common practice. The chances of rolling a 5BO or higher are quite good (33%). If you roll more than 6 times, that probability gets pretty darn close to guaranteed. Long story short, it's not that dumb considering how expensive rolled 5bo or higher CTAs are in a base like this.
@RNLafferty I still disagree. They might be expensive but he had plenty of Jah at that point. Have two, always keep the better one, and if you are satisfied sell the other base. You lost nothing by having a second base and you are guaranteed to always keep your best roll. I mean do what you want but that is simple game theory.
I haven't played D2 online for a while, so I'm struggling to understand how you can be so rich while barely using anything all that special. I've gotten characters fully geared with much better items with nearly a fifth of what I've seen you spend in your CTA rolls alone. Like, I'm shocked anyone would be willing to spend so many Jah runes on a pair of sandstorm. It's not even that good compared to some basic rare boots you can find while farming in Hell. Anyway, it's cool to see the trades and all that, but it's confusing to me, because High runes don't seem to be worth anything at all. Too many bots, or dupes?
CTA is such a waste online when you can just have a 2nd account that's a BO barb. I run 3 accounts so I can BO and Enchant and always have a players 3 game.

As someone who is new to trading and D2R I love watching the trades and looting. Makes the game way more fun knowing the possibilities.

@@leeloodallasmultibox6172 I'm still in shock by the roll. Definitely made this season one to remember. Now to get em in single player :')
Damn, those Treks we're some of the best I've seen!
i feel your pain. I've found about a dozen mavina's diadems and exactly 0 griffon's eyes
69% trecks are consider as perfect in my book
always stuns me how much higher defense rolls affect the price of an item, when defense is almost a useless stat in d2

why would you roll a CTA in a warstaff ? i thought your battle order gets boosted from +to skills on shield
Hello youtube, its me Niña!

@Rotul90 yes. The extra ES absorb provides more effective health than 2 levels of BO, especially when you take into account how much extra strength you'd need to throw in to wear an eth spirit
On this build, if you're going to run a shield on swap, its lidless wall or splender.
@@RNLafferty ok, got it. Never had sorc with infinity. Now i see issue spirit monarch need a loot of str
Cool
What trade site do you use?
by some of the Runes for "Upgrades" you've bought, my Heart was stopping.
Why not get Forty and all the good stuff for your Merc first.
Or already buy some Smiter Gear!
why are these sandstorm so much worth? when they etheréal`? u cant repaair them or? :D i have no idea more
they have self repair
WHOEVER GAVE U 10 JAH RUNES FOR THOSE BOOTS ARE TROLLING
so u just rerolled 6 4 1? why didnt sell it?
Curious why make the cta in the staff? Aren’t you costing yourself two skills by lacking the shield
It has to be for energy shield prebuff. But I am surprised as well. You'd only get +1 skill to ES while sacrificing two skills to BO/BC.

111 mf kinda low for things like that imo
Man HR’s have plummeted in value ALOT, it’s so disgusting. Like what the f. Random bases are worth HR’s now?
this is what happens when the game is full of bots and jah is 3 usd from the item selling sites.
I have a 6/6 energy shield cta you can do it !!
Dude, don't cannibalize your 6 4 cta for rerolling. Get a new base!
Make ur bed bruv 😂😂😂
why cta on a war staff ?!
Cause of the +3 to Energy Shield on it
@@MartRavor ye but doesnt it make more sense to put it into a 1 hand and use it together with a spirit ?!
Wasting so much on rolling CTA is so beyond stupid.
It’s imaginary items it’s not that serious bro 👍 I’ve re rolled faith bows at least ten times
Bad take. A 6/6 CTA would more than make up for the cost on ladder. Also, gambling is fun.
