I love videos like this, anyone can do well with infinity and a few other staple pieces. Giving love to different gear makes you improvise and that was always way more fun for me. Thanks for the content as always.
“Take a look at my completely original OP build guide! All you will need is Enigma, Griffons, CTA, 2xSOJ, a perfect Mara’s, 5 perfect facets, and a perfect 2/20 caster Ammy. Your merc will also need Infinity+Fortitude+eth Andy’s. Now you can start farming for real!!”
Yeah I'm going to do those perfect gear runs at some point as well, but this is much more interesting to me as well.
No problem, thank you for watching!
I fucking hate all the diablo 2 guides. They all go "respec into this at lvl 98" . Like dude the fuck do I do the first 5000 hours of the game?! I can figure out the part where I take the things that cost me 50 highrunes and smash them together and then click all the synergies in my skill tree
@@thenuclearrabbit dude same. I used to watch a lot of D2 TH-camrs but they never talked about actually playing the game. They only ever discussed max level gg gear builds. It’s just tiresome because there is zero variety. Playthroughs are much more interesting. Random drops and themed runs are way more fun to do. I like no Runeword playthroughs or no shopping allowed type of stuff. Or just SSF in general.
Quick correction: Life leech does work on the undead, unless they are skeletons. It even works on Pindleskin and his type of monster, because they are not "just" skeletons, but rather like the Iron Maiden mascot Eddie.
I stand corrected
11 poison damage rant was gold
It's just such a useless amount of damage
@@thenuclearrabbit And then it dropped to 7 once you equipped another piece of the set. Something is going on there.
Dear God... The true melee experience, either "grow a pair" or heart attack xD
Never had the chance to try Bulkathos, looks rad, nice touch :)
Love G face, looks cool, and kicks arse.
This is quality content!
Melee 4 ever!!!
G face is awesome for sure! Melee 4 ever!! Haha
@@thenuclearrabbit I also 100% agree that sets need a few tweaks, nothing crazy, but flat dmg on BK and leech on Disciple would be lovely for sure ;)
It certainly would be
Great video, was really fun to see some of these sets in action
Thank you!
Yes +1 to the bk ring becoming part of the bk set.
It's such a miss on flavor that it isn't. It would also make finding set rings interesting again
Is in project diablo 2
I've never played that. But cool to hear that other people have the same idea
pd2 is so much better then retail@@thenuclearrabbit
great vid. Been watching all of your playthroughs and enjoy the commentary.
Btw, good thing you had that poison dmg bonus, otherwise hell would have destroyed you 😉
I too wish that set items were buffed in a way that makes them more viable and fun to use.
Keep up the great vids. Have tried a ranger paladin yet? that's a challenge
Thank you!
Yeah the 11 damage saved my butt.
I haven't played a ranger yet. I basically have an excel sheet with builds that I have/haven't done and go through them 1 by 1. I'll put it on there
@@thenuclearrabbit nice, looking forward to seeing the upcoming builds
Always appreciated sarcasm and fine irony, great stuff!
I would never do any of those, but thank you very much!
:))@@thenuclearrabbit
hm, for the undead revive problem you could try Nature's Peace Ring. as your kill speed is to slow, you could scare them away with that one warcries skill and kill one by one instead of standing in the pack. your merc is a ranger so, he will have no problem hitting them. also you did not show your merc stuff. maybe a Cure helm und treachery armor could help him to stay alive.
Yeah, the sets could all use some improving. A favorite though is 🐄 Moo-Moo Leathers.👍
Yeah the cow set is amazing. You just never see it because it's so rare
Death gloves and belt is such a good combo to start with ! Leaving the dual headstrikers must have been difficult tho...
Love your stuff :)
Dual headstrikers or bk swords barely made a difference which is kinda sad actually for the bk swords.
Thank you!
@@thenuclearrabbit oh I thought so as headstriker are crazy cool, sad to see that many sets end up being useless in late game, all in all the only good one (imo) is Tal. Even with this horrible tal mask.
Oh the class specific ones are all very good except aldurs and trang ouls. The rest murder the entire game without a problem
Upped headstrikers are probably just legit good endgame gear till you get to oath
Great video idea. One of things that eventually made me quit D2 was the feeling that the itemisation had been 'solved' and every run was a chase to XYZ best in slot items for a particular already proven build. Totslly dispelled the magic of cobbling together and experimenting. Cool to see 'redundant' items given a proper road test.
Thank you!
I don't care for the endgame gg standard solved stuff much either. There are so many items that can clear the game that no one uses ever. You can make tons of cool builds with them
If you want unlimited builds i highly recommend grim dawn.
I have been recommended Grim Dawn an absolute fuckton. I really need to get on that
Edit: bought the game. Went to check it out for 5 minutes. Ended up playing for almost 2 hours. Yep, this is my jam for sure
amazed its not as good as your solo self found gear! great stuff!
The swords are about on par with what I usually end up with. The gloves are top tier ssf. The rest of it is so much worse than what I usually use that not even the set bonuses really save it.
Thank you for watching :)

All memes come full circle
I'm sorry I don't know the meme. I just like the song
Well done. I had a Telling of Beads drop for me a ladder or two ago and it made me briefly consider doing a Disciple set run, but well as you've discovered the set items are simply underwhelming with the exception of LoH.
You mentioned early in the video that defence does nothing and this is a bit of a bugbear of mine, high defence is pretty good for survivability but you have to build towards it and also have you shift your playstyle since defence=0 when you run. For instance, a Concentrate Barb is *very safe* if a slow killer, and Paladin with max Holy Shield is as well. These builds are built around high defence and they can push it really high.
Also glad to see you trying some of the other mercenaries. I have a soft spot for the non-Act II mercs because nobody ever uses them and they must get lonely :(
The amulet isn't horrible either +1 skills and 2 res isn't atrocious. But the other pieces are such trash. The entire set seriously is worse than doing some random ssf run, I would gladly take sigon's over all of it.
I know defence can work, but it's very hit or miss. And unless you heavily focus on it it's never relevant. This does make me want to do a super high defense run at some point though. I'm actually curious how high I could get the defense in a ssf run now. But I'm recording 4 other runs currently so gonna go ahead and put that in the evergrowing list of to-do-runs.
The act 3 merc was fantastic, I wasn't overselling him at all he was way better than I had ever expected. I like the barb mercs as well for stacking aura's or just making them these super fast crushing blow cannons
@@thenuclearrabbit 'I know defence can work, but it's very hit or miss.'
i see what you did there
@@thenuclearrabbit Defense is only good if you have a significant buff to it, like shout with a significant number of points in it, but it's difficult to get without running two accounts (which is what I did). A second account with a dedicated barb with max Shout/BO/BC, and upped ViperMagi got my HC ladder sorc to 15K+ defense which reduces most enemy hit chances to 25% in Hell Act 5. Only aura enchanted packs remain a threat in terms of physical damage (my worst near death was an extra fast might pack of goats camping the stairs during a Countess run).
fun fact: most people on HCCL run full iratha's even around lv.70-90's cause of how versatile and defensive it is
Yeah I've heard but Classic and LoD are 2 very different beasts.
yeah in classic WhirlWind isn't affected by IAS so you can use even a Bonesnap and be at 5hits naturally so it makes for some crazy builds, also DEFENSE does work on classic too@@thenuclearrabbit
Great run. Love this kind of content. More crazy set runs please!! Sazabis? Hwannins? Full sanders? Lol
There is a full sigon's run I recorded on the channel. I want to do all the sets at some point but for a lot of them it's a big puzzle on how to make it viable so they take a while to figure out :)
@thenuclearrabbit heck yes. I'll check it out. Love your channel man!
@@davesafishThank you!
Love this and congrats on making it through! Not an easy challenge lol
Thank you for watching
welcome back to the noobie days. lol
Fun thing you can do to try and make Trang-Oul's better. Walk all the time. You'll get your full defense but being a Vampire means you always move the same movement speed whether walking/running. It's the only example I can think of that makes this bad set a little better.
Oh I didn't know that. That might be the first relevant non-PVP application of the walk function. I might even rebind it again for that haha
it feels so wierd to see a diablo2 gameplay footage on console.
From an OG that played 20 years ago.still can't get use to it xD
I prefer playing on console by a lot actually. Played 2 decades on pc as well, but my couch is very nice and it's just chill with the gf in a way it will never be on pc
Enjoyed the vid - for fun try upgrading 5 piece Sigons armor for play though - can't use shield for frenzy. Did it once - no desire to try again. Dual leach rings are your friend.
I already did a sigon's playthrough once. Not with a barb though, but I would just go 5 piece sigon's with dual grief so I'm not very into the idea to be honest
i dislike how low level sets are basicly pointless in a normal run of diablo 2 since you will never have a full set by the time there are better gear. there basicly only there if you are going to give it to a lower level character.
It's a remnant of classic where there wasn't any better gear and the levels where much lower. But yeah it feels off in LoD.
it just goes to show how bad Barb in general is...
the sets also need a huge buff
Wow look at him!!!
24 years later leveling as a melee still at the bottom , definitely need buff ,everytime i challenge myself to do a melee run i regret it , its kinda sad only viable ssf barb is a singer
I don't agree with that, I've completed frenzy, whirlwind and berserk and am currently in the process of editing a double density whirlwind barb run. So it's all viable, but I do agree they are hard runs.
@@thenuclearrabbit my idea is yes it's viable but still this builds perform at the bottom ( I mean leveling wise), especially physical ones ,elemental melee builds they clear in a reasonable speed in Normal and Nightmare
Congrats on the double footwear upgrade!
Thank you! I felt the power!
You did it!
Good job 👍
Thank you!
@@thenuclearrabbit set runs are a good challenge
I have a bunch more that I want to do :) but I don't want to do them all in a row cause it'll get boring. But my plan is using all of them at some point
@@thenuclearrabbit I agree. I was trying the same thing but I still don't have every piece of each set
d2r? yes.
Nice one. Can you do summon druid SSF HC?
Already did. It's on the channel somewhere
You can finish the game with Malice, so..
Act 2 merc with might holding insight might play better with no mana leach, maybe Vex in a sword for mana leach.
Both of those would work as well yeah. I liked the phys damage reduce and lifeleech from the gaze a lot as well though, felt very fitting for the build
@@thenuclearrabbit I can see your point. I use Guillaume's Face for the crushing blow and deadly strike for my Uber barb. Figured with no Gore Riders or Goblin toe boots it would speed the killing up. I have also recently gone to using a wand to cast life tap for Ubers, Dclone or any bosses or packs - safer than waiting on drac's to kick in though shopping a wand is time consuming. gl
Yeah an uber barb is a very different beast compared to what I'm playing. I've tried a few builds to ubers for the channel but except for the fohdin they all went very poorly
My kind of beer 🍺
Both sets get improved. They are now more useful
I rocked the disciple set as a sorc - it was decent. But for duel sword why don't you use Frenzy...?
I did
you said you respected during hell...to Berzerk @@thenuclearrabbit
I think it's a misunderstanding. I went into frenzy first and after that during hell I specced into berserk with 1 point to deal with phys immunes
Upgraded Sigon's ftw
Upgraded sigons would be way better
Hi! Can you try Maul Bear Druid HC SSF ? )
It's already edited even. Like 60-70% done. Going to try and upload it this year but end of year is always insanely busy with other stuff
+100 damage bk set
Dis set
3 to all skills
Static field when struck 2 piece
Vemon on hit Vs 11 over 1 sec
55 Fhr over all pieces
Poison explosion on kill 20%
That would help for sure. It would atleast make them reasonable
@@thenuclearrabbit the itemization systems to this game is almost perfect
I am going to go on a little tangent
Blue and yellow items need to have systems attached to them like runes/sets do
Sets need a rework in some chases
They need options for improving or adding stats without just adding sockets to them
I would like the enchantress system to be added for sets where players could select stats they could change
I would like it if yellow items could have dam reduce %, cannot be frozen and + skills. They would become very relevant.
Enchantress system could be fun but I could also see it becoming too powerful
I think it wouldve been alot easier if you used howl to break up the big mob packs
Could work for sure :)
I was going to recommend too - its how I play through.
I do it with berserk so I figured I'd change it up. Both work :)
Legit ran a broke as a joke zerker last ladder using full disciple, and the lowest oath I’ve ever rolled. Challenging but fun
Oh that sounds reasonable for sure. Oath is much better than the BK set
Dope video idea do another one!
Will do
I laughed so i subbed
Thx!
dude no angelic set? would have completely changed your run.
I could only wear the ring.
Yikes, upgrading Aldurs mace barely does anything. However the whole set does give 350% enhanced damage, so the upped aldurs star in your video would have a damage of 290-402.
Its not terrible, and that is not including the 200% damage to demons modifier it has. The set also does not include gloves, so it can be combined with Laying of hands for even more damage to demons
So I would say with the Aldurs set they tried to make it better, they did not try very hard, mind you, but they did atleast think about it.
I used 2x Aldurs the first time I beat hell with a frenzy Barb. It is a usable SSF item at least. Unlike the Dark Adherent set😂
@@blazedehart2748
Apart from the mediocre damage, it's not entirely worthless, it has attack speed, damage to demons, dual leech and 3 open sockets.
If this thing had a 200-250% enhanced damage modifier on it it would be a decent weapon, and a better low budged option, compared to the expensive runewords
Dualwielding this as a barbarian also gives you 400% damage to demons, and since, what 1/3 or so monsters are demons, its quite strong.
Hell you could even throw 3 Pul runes into each one for another 450% damage to demons, that's a total of 1200% with laying of hands :O
@@Deathbellows I’m pretty sure I just put random jewels in mine. I wasn’t looking up runes and stuff at the time. I was just trying not to die. lol
That set bonus to ed counts as off-weapon ed,so the damage would not be as you listed,but rather lower.
It's effectively like wearing lohs while wielding aldurs- not nothing, but not nearly as significant as on-weapon ed.
The weapon needs on weapon ed or a significant quantity of max by clvl,like near- windforce significant.
@@whitekony1006
Sigh, they cant make this simple to figure out, can they? :o
Is there any way to be able to figure out apporx how much it adds then?
Okay I've read up on it abit, and yeah its complicated. Its just a flat 350, while if it was on the weapon it would be attributed to all of the other calculations.
Easy fix tho, give the weapon itself a +250-300% Ed value
just come play classic with the big boys.
I've done a bunch of classic runs :)
At least defense is okay while sitting in place and attacking.
Fair enough
😂😂😂😂😂😂
