You two are probably the best and maybe the only good diablo TH-camrs I've found as a newcomer, I've learned more from your challenge videos than i did from the ridiculous amount of poorly made guides
I mean, sure *mathematically* it might be more rare to get a Ber rune than it is to get 4 Arctic Bows in 12 hours of farming lvl 85 areas, but which would you *rather* have???
The 3+ skill grand matron bow with 4 sockets is a really nice find. I remember trying to find one for a long time but only got either a 2+ with 4 sockets or a 3+ with 3 sockets
Running a new Sorc, what should my loop look like in each game for MF? Andy Meph Shenk Pindle? I don't even know if I can do pindle yet, but quick and easy if I can. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
I prefer to really target grind one boss but I play offline so it might be a bit different. Andy-meph-eldritch-shenk-pindle seems like a good rotation. If pindle is difficult, I recommend only teleporting to the door and then walk the final few steps so they charge your merc instead of you, and spam some glacial spikes between blizzard instead of ice blast. That helped me as I struggled with a blizzard sorc for a pindle farming video I did a while ago.
Thank you for the quick reply. I would prefer single target, however, like you mentioned playing online, if I get my kill speed low enough, I can get locked out of games.
Hsarus set is actually a pretty decent normal set what even scales well later in the game, you was little disadvantageous from the beginning by forced to start a bowazon. He could even go a sorc and do just fine with Hsarus, I think normal sets are balanced in general. Like... the worst set in the game (in my opinion) is Heaven's Brethren, what you almost collected in the run. :D But there are quite good normal sets in the game for their own level like Iratha's, Sigon's or Hsarus to be honest. And a few very decent combos like Angelic jewelery or Tancred's/Vidala boots + amulet. Nice run and video anyway.
as you got 4 of them, i wonder if the arctic bow/set is good for a low lvl bowazon, i made one after watching your pindleskin video where you made one, and im not really sure if i should respec (im playing lod with plugy so infinite respecs) to use the bow and get the set bonus, or just continue using just the belt?
Hmm. The issue for me is that it doesn’t give extra damage or extra skills. Well there’s cold damage per level but it’s not that much on low levels. It’s decent and probably better than wearing random magic items, but I don’t think it would be very strong. If you want to use the set it’s probably fine, but a random bow socketed with some elemental runes are probably stronger
I'd like to see more Assassin play if you would. I loved my Chaos Assassin back in 2008, and had her so stacked she could solo Ubers but she had to be the only person in the room or it would crash.
Could you please make a test to find out which sumMon is the strongest. Build the ultimate summon nec/amazon/ druid/ assassin (maybe no aura buff from the summoner because valkyrie and shadow master do not benefit from aura. Or just max 20 skill and other synergy skills) - golem (blood/ iron/ fire) vs bear vs valkyrie vs shadow master ... I guest bear or valkyrie is the strongest.
That’s an interesting idea. I had a similar summon vs summon idea before but I couldn’t figure out how to easily do it so I put the idea on hold. I guess I would need to buy D2R on another account and level up all classes and pvp myself. Would be so much easier if we still had local multiplayer in resurrected
@@zarfen Yeah there are some issues need to be put the great effort on it 1) have accounts to test summon duel - 1st account nec, amazon, druid and 2nd account druid + assassin + amazon (it would be better if you can connect with d2r network to borrow 4 accounts for each character) 2) level up to have enough skill points to max lvl 20 summon skill (bear, golem ...) and other synergy skills. We just focus on pure summoning skill, ignore other items, auras to be fair for those summons. I remembered long time ago, we had offline version with editor which we could create and set character lvl. Of cause, we can connect by local multiplayer to have pvp test. Hopefully, you can found it on the internet, i could save your time to have more contents to build up your chanel.

Thanks! I don’t, but I’m interested to try in the future. Seems like a lot of fun to have viewers chatting live for challenge style videos. Härligt, gillar Umeå/Norrlandskusten :)
Until I made a ice bowazon I didn’t realize how cold stacks on freezing arrow dmg…cold charms such as 7-9cold dmg stacks as well…I didn’t no until recently…infinity merc is a must for freezing arrow build
Loved both Videos. Just one thing bothered me, isn it unfair that rabbit uses a weapon switch double alibaba for find item? Or was that something u agreed on beforehand?
Thanks, glad you liked them! We "approved" each others gear before starting the runs so we didn't go too far apart in power level. Find item is definitely strong, but on the other hand I had far better AoE and faster run times.
You should have dumpes some points into Valk shes a beast when maxed. Can you up the items? It would help the belt a lot. I just finished leveling a bowazon using the Kuko Shakaku. It did really well until lvl 65 when I switched to faith
Witchwild string is severely underrated. This bow on a strafezon is actually on par with Faith or Windgofce, hands down. I can do p5 chaos sanctuary on that build - even jn LoD legacy without the new synergies for strafe.
Just picked up d2r today. Got to lvl14 barbarian just hitting monsters in the head. Does it get better or should i try like a sorcerer or paladin? I know from 20 years ago that a friend had a whirwlind barb and that was cool but idk man. Also thansk for informing freezing arrow freezes :^)
The barbarian is really cool and fun when it is strong and has some gear but probably the most difficult character to start new from scratch. A Paladin using holy fire, holy freeze, or holy shock, or a sorceress would be much easier to start because they get good damage just from leveling up and getting more skill points.
I just thought about a challenge to your "Can I beat..." series. Do you think you can beat the game without adding any Stats Points? You can get from gear, from passives, from Charms, but you can add the points, manually, yourself.
It could be fun but I think I would have to limit it somewhat (like only magic/rare or higher rarity) or I would have to open my inventory and swap weapon several times per fight potentially. Now if I could somehow make it so it automatically swapped to every dropped weapon that would be fun (and complete chaos)
Yes, but I don’t think I would have benefitted much from the extra defense. Upgrading to exceptional might have been “free” though, but elite not worth the extra stat requirements. I did upgrade the belt once to get more potion slots but forgot to record it so I didn’t mention it in the video
@fgrcdefeatkiller7724 I would probably have fun playing through it again but I don’t think I would make a video. Maybe if I get around to try streaming I could give it a try
@@zarfen surely, it is very fun, I don't know if melee splash damage was added for when you played it, but that plus a million other changes makes the game feel completely different (and better in my opinion)
Consider doing 1000 Anya rolls for assassin claws and see if you're getting any 2/3/3 :) I lost quite the chunk of my soul when rolling claws for my trapsin in start of d2r
I wanted to do some big shopping grind like that, but since they added the delay when going through Anya’s portal and back too quickly I kind of lost interest. Maybe not the biggest deal, but I find it very annoying for some reason
@MoZeZ92 yeah after you exit a portal there is a short delay before you can go back in or even into another portal. It completely throws off the flow of power shopping Anya imo
Cant see this in Norway. TH-cam says "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner" which is ironic since I'm here leaving a comment :p
What? That’s so weird because I don’t even understand what that means but it sounds like something I did… maybe there’s a video setting, I’ll have a look.
How the hell do streamers just constantly find such good stuff. I spent god knows how many arrows running on my blizzard sorc and never saw the shako, and a haldful of other items i cant remember the name of.
I upgraded the belt for more slots but I forgot to record it. The other pieces didn’t seem worth upgrading due to higher requirements. @murphvienna1 you can in D2R! :)
I did upgrade my belt for more potion slots but I forgot to record it so I left it out of the video. The other ones didn’t feel worth it for just more defense
I have a hard time understanding what are the best stats to have to kill for items... if I don't have resistance I die instantly. But you blast through it all with -70 res... need to know what stats are key for speed farming mf.

Clearly the four bows!

Because you can use them to equip more players to find Ber runes for you.
Reminds me of those marionettes from Elden Ring.
Excellent collaboration - would love to see more like this:) Will defo be going over to see the Nuke Rabbits version of this.
Congratulations to you both for a fantastic video idea, this was super enjoyable!
Glad you liked it!
The 3+ skill grand matron bow with 4 sockets is a really nice find. I remember trying to find one for a long time but only got either a 2+ with 4 sockets or a 3+ with 3 sockets
Yeah that's been the case for me for such a long time. I've found very few +3 bows at all!
What an amazing idea! I hope that there are more videos like this. Maybe next time start with a random set, but no other items.
Super cool video idea! Could be cool to see other magic find competitions with a twist like this
"I congratulated him on his find but only 50%" is something I'm taking away from this video
So a loot goblin and a nuclear rabbit walk into a tavern..
love the end, special thanks to petar and jill :D soon there will be too many to thank them all by name :=)
considering the arctic set is a giga low level set, which i primarily use to get a coldbow zon from normal through nightmare, it held up nicely

Yeah the Ber rune is a huge find but magic find has no bearing over rune drops so it could be counted out I guess.

Yes! I upgraded the belt for more potions but I forgot to record it…
I did the same thing with my belt.
Another great video! 😎🔥
Maybe next time u try this roll 3 time the random wheel and pick one that you like the most?
If you upgrade the armor of the arctic set twice, the defense should be extremely high, no?
Yes, but I don’t think I would have benefitted much from the extra defense. Upgrading to exceptional might have been “free” though, but elite not worth the extra stat requirements. I did upgrade the belt once to get more potion slots but forgot to record it so I didn’t mention it in the video

@JuliusFeldmeier oh yeah it does seem really out of place on a normal set!
Such a fun idea! Loving it.
next time, you guys should get 3 turns on the wheel, then pick the one you want out of three. just a thought =]
The faith base GMB at 10:05 is the winner
I'd take a Ber over it. But it's a really great base for sure. Easily the second best item that either of us found
I thought people only wanted matriarch bows for that, but I’m not very knowledgeable about high end runewords
