☑ “This guy's static field is CRAZY!” ☑ “My barb can't DPS against a skill like that” ☑ "He NEEDED precisely that one skill to win" ☑ “He played the only class that could beat me” ☑ "He had the perfect hotkeys" ☑ “There was nothing I could do” ☑ “I Whirlwinded that perfectly”
Diablo 2 and Starcraft ; Brood War was the golden Era of Blizzard's game. Yougster will never get the feeling of what theses game was before. Played theses game back in 1999 when most of these trolls was not even born. Was the good old day:)
I really enjoy your stream/videos about Hearthstone, I really do, but I gotta say it was REALLY nice to see you play something different. Really enjoying the Diablo 2. All that nostalgia.
The expansion made the game still playable in 2016... Classic D2 needed much tuning and the expansion delivered.
8 ปีที่แล้ว
some aspects in LOD are cool, but kind like everything is a garbage in my opinion. I just bought my classic key 3 days ago. I even find good playing single play, but I think I'll just try it with the original host
Here I am, 17(?) years after I first played the Diablo 2 demo from a computer gaming demo disc, and I stumbled upon this. I stopped the video and liked simply because of what he said at 1:32 D2 Classic ftw. If he uploads or has uploaded frenzy barb gameplay, I think I'll weep from joy.
Hey Kripp, I know you're not really into uploading hardcore stuff like the old day (except for this video, sort of) but I'd really like to see you have a go at FF14 ARR. The end game content is very challenging and complex and I'd like to see your take on it.
No, I'm not trolling and I'm not retarded. What are your in-game names, maybe you can help me out with some Shiva Extreme. My group is having trouble with her but it seems you guys have it down packed.
How am I retarded? It's an honest question or are you just this toxic in general? Do you play A Realm Reborn or no? If you don't, just take a hike because you aren't contributing to anything positive.
Blackie, in your game play experience, what made the game bad for you? What did you like least about it, what did you like the most about it? I'm not trying to compare the game to WoW, I honestly don't care how FF14ARR pairs with WoW so that's just off-topic.
God I miss the awesomeness that this game embodies. Would love to see a dark remake of this, with a very conservative mindset. D3 was just too casual for me tbh.
Immune monsters are disappointing, if they had very high resists lowering your damage I wouldn't mind it so much but coming across an enemy that you can't kill no matter what, that's just cheap. Example: during a struggle to clear hell den of evil using a Bowzon with one enemy left I decide to hit a monster shrine bumping it up to unique status and what do you think happens? It becomes physical immune. Lovely. I didn't have an elemental merc or skills that dealt ele damage so it took a long time.
Hey Kripp -- Been playing the Diablo series since Diablo 1 back in the day. First off want to say thank you for bringing this great game to the new players that haven't seen it. Secondly, I would like to know what you think of the d2 mod called Median XL, or if you have even played it. Being a huge Diablo fan over the years, this mod brought the game completely back to life and gave it incredible depth that it never had before. If you haven't played it, I would HIGHLY recommend it. It is so much fun and very PoE-esque, so I think you would really enjoy it. Anyway, I would love to see you make a video displaying Median XL sometime to share your thoughts.
Good Video bro I've been playing since I was 12 and I'm 20 now. Give Diablo 2 as much publicity as possible lets show blizz that we want quality games!
I'm curious since Kripp mentions switching from Fire to cold, do you get a chance to reset in the game later on? Or is the reset from the lady in Act I your only stat reset and you should save it up?
Krip I played a lot a lot of vanilla d2 and when LoD I thought the game had gotten worse especially when I lost my dual leech rings on my ww barb when LoD came out. I'm glad to hear you like vanilla too!
I didn't like the new rune word system and to me it felt very convoluted. I didn't like how my dual leech rings suddenly didn't exist anymore when I worked so hard for them. I felt burned when my we barb didn't perform like he used to. I didn't care for act 5 and how it moved everyone to an act I didn't care for. I lost my drive to play when LoD was released.
Are you able to reset your skills in D2 now? or is he just talking about how he chose firebolt/ball into meteor for the sake of people who'd like to play fire soso? Cuz he kinda makes it sound as if he went fire for the 1st few levels yet i dont see any active points in that skill tree.
Full Iratha Set, Spectral Shard or 20 fcr wand with 30%+ dual or triple resist, Twitchthroe, 2x Fcr rings with mana and 2x resists, boots with 30 frw 10 fhr and 30+ dual or triple resist and a shield with 30/20 block mod and all resist is good and then socket the shield with 3 perfect skulls and a SOJ in cube and then socket with perfect Diamond for more all resist or use The Ward gothic shield.
..... yes single player is harder,... i have level 85 pala(guardian) HC and 78 necro(destro) but i just dying alot,... the valuable high level runes that you need for that good gearing just couldnt dropp...
I never completed Diablo 2 in any mode because I was too terrified to play it xD Everything was so dark and every corner was terrifying so I rand a fire Sorceres that only put down hydras everywhere and hoping I'd survive. xD This being said, I would love to see you make a playthrough of the story sometime in Diablo 2, even if it might be a speedrun during a stream. I'd love to see it. :3
Chugging Mana potions reminds me of playing the sorc in diablo 1, aside from the huge number of slots gold takes up you just fill your inventory with mana pots and tele around with fireball and chain light. Good times :)
Holy Cow Kripp, I am dissappointed a bit. on the one hand it's okay that you as a classic player are possibly not aware of statics efficiency on the expansion scaling with the difficulty levels. Normal - down to 1 hp NM- 1/3 hp Hell 1/2 HP, but that you missed out on the fact that there are 2 kinds of immunes, that makes me a little bit sad :(
Wwizard piv I've been playin LoD for the longest time, Classic does have its upsides ;) For starters, not everyone looks th same. In LoD every freaking Hammerdin looks the same. for every item there's a Best in Slot. Almost every class walks around with shaco because it's op as crap, Eni is best in slot and every one has one due to every ladder being flooded with dupes right away. If you play PvP, I agree that LoD is the better choice but generally speaking you can faceroll all LoD content due to Runewords being op. In Classic, the rares are the really great items, which adds a lot of diversity :)
milkYw4iMC Tbh, why would you use anything other besides BiS. That applies to pretty much every other game. If an item is straight up BiS, you'll use it if you want to be most efficient as possible in the game.
My Argument is that in classic there isn't really any BiS Items, all the best items are Rares, which increases the diversity between characters by a lot.
Going any further than 17 in Cold Mastery (not hard points) will leave it at -100 cold resistance. you cannot reduce the resistance of any monster or player beyond 100.
Does d2 work like WoW? If you are standing in a place in a zone and another player is playing there will he see you or is it singleplayer not online game?
hell ya man, I just made a sorc on classic like last week, and I did the same build almost, I started with fireball, and switched to orb at lvl 30, I didn't even bother to respec, i figured the fireball might be useful again when i get to hell mode
First of all I didn't read alla the commets below, but in the very first edition of diablo2 the frozen orb can be cast without the cooldown and there wasn't sinergy between the spells so the game shown in the video isn't the true basic version. In the basic version I rise the sorceress to level 80 and left the vitality untouched (10 and not a single point on it 1 point means 1 life point) I increased the energy for mana and strengh for the gear. Then rised ability "warmth" "energy shield" "frozen orb"and "cold mastery". That's all no need to think on combo with static shield. travel with teleport (24 mana were nothing) and spam frozen orb. boring but deadly.
kripp i have always played the Expansion version, and i never understand why you think the original is better, so... could you explain in a video exactly what makes classic better than the expansion?
In the "new" classic do the necro skeleton work like in LoD? (aka you have fewer but better skellys) Cause Necro skellys are the shit imo. Best leveling skill, best dps skill, best dps/mana, best tanking... just the best. Only one weakness, phys immunities and you have 40 skill points left over to deal with that if you want ^^
Yolo Swaggins Really? I usually just get a +3 mastery and skelly wand in act 1 normal, and used that until well into Hell (in LoD that is) :P You only need to max Mastery and skellys and get 1 point into amp curse. That will bring you to Hell, you only need resists and some hp. But I do remember how they did suck balls in classic when you had like 30+ skeleton (which even blocked paths >.
10 ปีที่แล้ว
Elvis Nilsson You have to pick the skills in a certain order to make it work. Get 1 point of amp damage (and only 1), since it breaks phys immunity (iirc, pi stone skin can't be broken). Look for a guide called "Fishymancer" guide (the author's nick was Nightfish). Essentially, you max raise skeletons, stay away from mage, get a couple mastery points and summon resist along the road. Then you drop 1 point in clay golem and mastery, since golem is the only way to avoid that scenario of Diablo killing all your skeletons. Corpse explosion make the life more bearable. The key is being at a minimum level before a certain boss. You can beat the game without gear (as in no gear at all...)
***** Ehhhh I don't need a guide... I've spent 95% of my time in D2 playing summoning Necro in Hardcore. I was wondering if the skellys in classic work the same as they do in LoD (with the new patches). Ohhh and I never pick golems they are useless imo. Master/Skelly maxed (so 40 points) 1 point Amp 1 point Decrep (wicked for bosses) 1 point Revive 1-5 points into Summon Resist From there I've taken a few different paths: Maxed out Amp&CE for crazy clearing speeds (phys immunes take a bit of time unless there are corpses though). Bonespear/Boneshield when those boots were bugged Poison Nova and synergies which is fun... but just to many poison immune mobs (all undead :P) P.S. The only boss that could kill any of my skellys on Hell was Baal or Diablo, and only if I didn't cast Decrep (Uber Diablo though... he took some trips to get new skellys).
IIRC just using Amp should break phys immunity? Except for special mobs that have high phys resist by default or stone skin. And yes D2 Classic skills are the same as in LoD .. the synergy system. But the Synergy system really sucks for Classic since the itemization does not support it like in LoD where it was designed for. For example in LoD you can easily get like +10-20 skills which means you can just drop some spare points to Utility skills which get really usable with +15 skills for example. In Classic when you drop a point or 2 to Utility like Warmth you end up skill level 3-4 after + skills since you don't have the items to boost your skill levels. So all in all I liked it better before Synergies.
For those who doesnt know Classic was also used in LoD for Crush. "Crush means Classic Rush" it was instead of doing baal bug. you only had to reach hell act 3 with your char in classic and then convert into LoD expansion, then you were in hell act 3 . where a hammerdin or lightning sorc could take over the rest of the rush. Many ppls still has a Crusher sorc on Classic none ladder. because they could earn sooooooo many Forum gold on it in less than a month... i had one on ladder in aroundt 2012... befor i quitted after 10 years of D2 gaming. i made around 20-30k forum gold a monthe just by Crushing ppls. just sad they fixed the Uber trist Xp Glitch xD made soo much Fgs on that also. P.S Kripp.. Cold sorc wasnt the best in every case. sometimes you needed a hammerdin to come and kill mobs in Chaos sanctuary cause of cold immunes. nice Char tho :) eventho i would have gone full Amethyst in helm and full life on a 4 socket armor. "3socket if i remember right"
9 years ago my seven year old self played this game so much as a pally and I would just spam the spinning hammers spell and play the mad cow level all the time it was so fun. My older bro would also give me a bunch of crazy gear and torches. I was probably the best player for my age lmao.
s0denone "For my age". I doubt many seven year old's played d2 and had a couple level 99's with decent gear.. I was just very lucky with my older brother giving me gear and getting me into it that early.
You should try Median XL mod for Diablo 2. A new version of it was just released (Ultimative XV) and it makes the game much more challenging and interesting.
i'm pretty sure static field works all the way to 1 hp in expansion too. In normal its 1 hp. in nightmare its down to 25% life, in hell static works to 50% life. Its been a while since i played but thats how i remember it
I really enjoy watching you play games Kripp.. except hearthstone i wish something else would come out that you could play. i will just wait untill u find something new to play.
I can't even play D3, it ripped the gritty and bloodfilled atmosphere, and randomly getting some of the most godly item you can find; that not all the time but sometimes would be crazy/random looking/no cookey cutter da bomb diggity items. Not to mention dropped by the bosses that you didn't have to go through 4 floors of random bull to get too. Not to mention crazy as hell Uber runs, and cool secrets.
Back in the day I used to have a poison necromancer with perfect gear. The guy did 15+k with poison nova and 100k+ with poison dagger. Every time I stabbed uber diablo with my poison dagger his health gauge drastically moved. Don't even get me started on how much my corpse explosion did. It was a real shame to run into poison immunity though. I literally couldn't get past the sewer level in act 2 without help because pretty much everything was poison immune
Frozen Orb was so broken in pre-LOD (1.00-1.06) D2. With no spell cooldown timers and no immune monsters, a frozen orb/static sorc could own every monster in the game. OF course, back then vendors also didn't sell mana potions so you had to have points in energy and max warmth. Very overpowered but very fun. Try playing older versions sometime. The game was pretty imbalanced.
Even in most recent LoD patch, you always take static field as sorc.. true, in Hell it's pretty nerfed, but 1/16th or 1/32nd dmg or whatever it does to bosses is still insane.
i loved how in d2 leveling was the end game, not loot. loot helped you level cause of lost experience. in d3 loot is the end game and because of that they have to give it false longevity by making specific loot hard to get via extreme randomness and a lot of potential for garbage my fondest memories of d2 are of being 'complete' in terms of gear, but reckless in gameplay at the start of a level because theres not much to lose but being SUPER hardcore-like careful (even in softcore) because losing 15% experience when you're at 75% on the bar was a waste of days or weeks worth of time and the mentality change in me on the same character playing from d3 version softcore (reckless) to hardcore-like careful on the same character every level was kind of cool there are too many fundamental changes to d3 to ever bring it back to d2. they are set on going with the new talent system and making LOOT the end game and allowing characters reach max level super quick and thus all changes they make are built on this faulty foundation i understand re-imagining d2 in d3 but taking a loved system like the talent points and leveling as the end game (not the loot - which makes trading viable since its a means to an end, not the end itself) was a short sighted mistake. and defending it is worse. i dont know why you would take a system that works and change it instead of enhancing it. starcraft 2 was an excellent re-imagining of starcraft 1. same game enhanced. d3 is a completely diff game and d2 fans were let down when the game became a loot-driven game instead of a leveling one. reaching 99 in classic d2 was a Feat of Strength and you could SEE those toons in the chat screen
Oh you didn't do it version 1.03, which is the true classic. For examples, there were no immune monsters and there were no synergies. It's a completely different experience to play with these than the original. So yes, the title is misleading to call her the original sorc.
during the era where Classic was live there was no limit on static field damage, even on Hell. There were faster cast sorcs called Twitch sorcs that had 20 static field and 20 frozen orb as a playstyle. This was eventually nerfed, possibly at the time of 1.08 patch, prior to LOD launch, along with the introduction of resist immunes I guess in classic games static field remained un-nerfed compared to expansion games, regardless of the LOD patch
D3: more farming, faster paced, skill builds varies around Legendaries you farmed. More approachable to new players. PoE: You must know exactly how to build and what to do, along with somewhat confusing currency. All of this added up can be very intimidating to new players while seasoned players will enjoy it. Now what is more fun is subjectively depends on how you want to play. More unique builds, PoE wins by far, more actions, skills spamming, D3 wins.
No hell mode video. Probably for the fact that enemies get Elemental Immunity. Sorceresses were never meant to single element end game. Dual elemental spec is required to survive in hell mode.
Grab you a high 3 socket mask and use 3 perfect skulls, save u tons of pots and gold at level 18 and up! good idea to have 5 three socket masks with each lvl of skulls durin ladder reset for leveling other charaters too, saves tons of pots and gold for buying or gambling too!!

VOTE for 2015 D2 video from KRIP!
+HealthOman Yes please make a D2 video with a new character from the start!
+Qwertycal I'd love to see him play a lightning Javazon.
When he said forget the expansion, he lost me
Diablo 2 and Starcraft ; Brood War was the golden Era of Blizzard's game. Yougster will never get the feeling of what theses game was before. Played theses game back in 1999 when most of these trolls was not even born. Was the good old day:)
dat ending though
"most dont keep up"
HE IS CHALLENGING US GUYS
d2 vs d3
comparing a well aged wine to ethiopian tap water before it is cooked 11 times
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and your insights into the sorceress class, thanks for taking the time to create/upload this. #memories.
I really enjoy your stream/videos about Hearthstone, I really do, but I gotta say it was REALLY nice to see you play something different. Really enjoying the Diablo 2. All that nostalgia.

to be honest, this is the most interesting video from Kripp in the past 6 months (and yes, I have been watching all of them)
Here I am, 17(?) years after I first played the Diablo 2 demo from a computer gaming demo disc, and I stumbled upon this. I stopped the video and liked simply because of what he said at 1:32
D2 Classic ftw. If he uploads or has uploaded frenzy barb gameplay, I think I'll weep from joy.
Hey Kripp, I know you're not really into uploading hardcore stuff like the old day (except for this video, sort of) but I'd really like to see you have a go at FF14 ARR. The end game content is very challenging and complex and I'd like to see your take on it.

No, I'm not trolling and I'm not retarded.

How am I retarded?
It's an honest question or are you just this toxic in general?
Do you play A Realm Reborn or no? If you don't, just take a hike because you aren't contributing to anything positive.
Kripp has talked about how bad FF14 ARR is multiple times, because the game is bad, and just like every other MMO, it doesn't come close to WoW.
Blackie, in your game play experience, what made the game bad for you? What did you like least about it, what did you like the most about it?
I'm not trying to compare the game to WoW, I honestly don't care how FF14ARR pairs with WoW so that's just off-topic.
Another non casual video, another like
plus the 60 fps at the corner gives it a more realistic hardcore view
God I miss the awesomeness that this game embodies.
Would love to see a dark remake of this, with a very conservative mindset. D3 was just too casual for me tbh.
Oh? You mean Path of Exile? Cause that is a dark game that has the art style of D2 and very complex and not casual.
try greater rifts 40+ in diablo 3, it stop being casual there
Pawel Kostka Still casual.
...so PoE?
TooFastTooDoge Too casual.
If I remember correctly, there was no synergy in Diablo 2 until that one patch no...?
Immune monsters are disappointing, if they had very high resists lowering your damage I wouldn't mind it so much but coming across an enemy that you can't kill no matter what, that's just cheap.

Dat ending was awesome with that music "I still rank many modern games against it... and most, dont keep up" NICE
Kripp looks like he's having so much fun talking about D2 :D
Can we see you play HoMM III some time Kripp that game was part of my childhood, its fucking amazing.
One of the best games ever made hands down! Cold sorc is also my personal favorite class
Hey Kripp -- Been playing the Diablo series since Diablo 1 back in the day. First off want to say thank you for bringing this great game to the new players that haven't seen it.

OMG ACTUAL CONTENT
Brings me back to the memories of doing hardcore max level 5 dueling
Good Video bro I've been playing since I was 12 and I'm 20 now. Give Diablo 2 as much publicity as possible lets show blizz that we want quality games!
d2 is the king of games
nice 6 pack bruh
D2ezbmu thanks dude
why is it that we don't put many points into energy? I feel like lots of mana would be really important..
I'm curious since Kripp mentions switching from Fire to cold, do you get a chance to reset in the game later on? Or is the reset from the lady in Act I your only stat reset and you should save it up?
One reset per difficulty from Akara (Potion shop in act 1)
Krip I played a lot a lot of vanilla d2 and when LoD I thought the game had gotten worse especially when I lost my dual leech rings on my ww barb when LoD came out. I'm glad to hear you like vanilla too!

That is the strongest cookie cutter build for a sorc on classic
good luck finding all that stuff in single player hardcore :)
Yeah single player is a little harder but I did have better builds like that online but the characters are probably expired.
..... yes single player is harder,... i have level 85 pala(guardian) HC and 78 necro(destro) but i just dying alot,... the valuable high level runes that you need for that good gearing just couldnt dropp...
Pavol Kovac, lower kurast runs is high runes problem resolver
You're back dude. Hold onto it.
I never completed Diablo 2 in any mode because I was too terrified to play it xD Everything was so dark and every corner was terrifying so I rand a fire Sorceres that only put down hydras everywhere and hoping I'd survive. xD
This being said, I would love to see you make a playthrough of the story sometime in Diablo 2, even if it might be a speedrun during a stream. I'd love to see it. :3
Oh the memories! I played this game for years!
Why did your FPS start flashing at the top right of the screen at 2:40 ?
the small stash alone is enough for me to never play d2 without LoD
:- D yes
kripparian havve you played the median xl mod?
Chugging Mana potions reminds me of playing the sorc in diablo 1, aside from the huge number of slots gold takes up you just fill your inventory with mana pots and tele around with fireball and chain light. Good times :)
so good to see interesting content for once
how to use static field with only 1 point?
i allways die when so close....
try with a merc to get the aggro
Hey kripp have u played Grim dawn after these new patches did u check new class :O?
Holy Cow Kripp, I am dissappointed a bit. on the one hand it's okay that you as a classic player are possibly not aware of statics efficiency on the expansion scaling with the difficulty levels. Normal - down to 1 hp NM- 1/3 hp Hell 1/2 HP, but that you missed out on the fact that there are 2 kinds of immunes, that makes me a little bit sad :(
If you're playing anything other than Hell mode in LoD, you're not playing the actual game.
Wwizard piv
I've been playin LoD for the longest time, Classic does have its upsides ;) For starters, not everyone looks th same. In LoD every freaking Hammerdin looks the same. for every item there's a Best in Slot. Almost every class walks around with shaco because it's op as crap, Eni is best in slot and every one has one due to every ladder being flooded with dupes right away. If you play PvP, I agree that LoD is the better choice but generally speaking you can faceroll all LoD content due to Runewords being op.

My Argument is that in classic there isn't really any BiS Items, all the best items are Rares, which increases the diversity between characters by a lot.
So in original what happens after you kill Diablo ? You get to act 1 again ?
Yes. Rinse and repeat but every time you beat Diablo (in classic) you proceed to the next difficulty.
Going any further than 17 in Cold Mastery (not hard points) will leave it at -100 cold resistance. you cannot reduce the resistance of any monster or player beyond 100.
WOW WOW this video made me so happy! *tears of joice" Faith in Kripp 100% restored!
This year I completed for the first time Diablo 2 HC ALONE on ladder through all difficulties with hell ! :)
Diablo 2 and Path of Exile are still my favourite dungeon-crawler games out there.
Does d2 work like WoW? If you are standing in a place in a zone and another player is playing there will he see you or is it singleplayer not online game?

they fucking suck
Yolo Swaggins
Really? I usually just get a +3 mastery and skelly wand in act 1 normal, and used that until well into Hell (in LoD that is) :P
You only need to max Mastery and skellys and get 1 point into amp curse. That will bring you to Hell, you only need resists and some hp.
But I do remember how they did suck balls in classic when you had like 30+ skeleton (which even blocked paths >.
Elvis Nilsson You have to pick the skills in a certain order to make it work. Get 1 point of amp damage (and only 1), since it breaks phys immunity (iirc, pi stone skin can't be broken).
Look for a guide called "Fishymancer" guide (the author's nick was Nightfish).
Essentially, you max raise skeletons, stay away from mage, get a couple mastery points and summon resist along the road. Then you drop 1 point in clay golem and mastery, since golem is the only way to avoid that scenario of Diablo killing all your skeletons. Corpse explosion make the life more bearable.
The key is being at a minimum level before a certain boss.
You can beat the game without gear (as in no gear at all...)

Ehhhh I don't need a guide... I've spent 95% of my time in D2 playing summoning Necro in Hardcore.
I was wondering if the skellys in classic work the same as they do in LoD (with the new patches).
Ohhh and I never pick golems they are useless imo.
Master/Skelly maxed (so 40 points)
1 point Amp
1 point Decrep (wicked for bosses)
1 point Revive
1-5 points into Summon Resist
From there I've taken a few different paths:
Maxed out Amp&CE for crazy clearing speeds (phys immunes take a bit of time unless there are corpses though).
Bonespear/Boneshield when those boots were bugged
Poison Nova and synergies which is fun... but just to many poison immune mobs (all undead :P)
P.S. The only boss that could kill any of my skellys on Hell was Baal or Diablo, and only if I didn't cast Decrep (Uber Diablo though... he took some trips to get new skellys).
IIRC just using Amp should break phys immunity? Except for special mobs that have high phys resist by default or stone skin.
And yes D2 Classic skills are the same as in LoD .. the synergy system.
But the Synergy system really sucks for Classic since the itemization does not support it like in LoD where it was designed for.
For example in LoD you can easily get like +10-20 skills which means you can just drop some spare points to Utility skills which get really usable with +15 skills for example.
In Classic when you drop a point or 2 to Utility like Warmth you end up skill level 3-4 after + skills since you don't have the items to boost your skill levels.
So all in all I liked it better before Synergies.
God dam, I miss the old days of Diablo!
Lod is really fun still I've been playing that since forever now what realm u play us west us east lmk plizz this reset has been fun
truer words have never been spoken
wait, so how does kripp get past the 25 fps lock?
For those who doesnt know Classic was also used in LoD for Crush. "Crush means Classic Rush" it was instead of doing baal bug. you only had to reach hell act 3 with your char in classic and then convert into LoD expansion, then you were in hell act 3 . where a hammerdin or lightning sorc could take over the rest of the rush. Many ppls still has a Crusher sorc on Classic none ladder. because they could earn sooooooo many Forum gold on it in less than a month... i had one on ladder in aroundt 2012... befor i quitted after 10 years of D2 gaming. i made around 20-30k forum gold a monthe just by Crushing ppls. just sad they fixed the Uber trist Xp Glitch xD made soo much Fgs on that also.
P.S Kripp.. Cold sorc wasnt the best in every case. sometimes you needed a hammerdin to come and kill mobs in Chaos sanctuary cause of cold immunes. nice Char tho :) eventho i would have gone full Amethyst in helm and full life on a 4 socket armor. "3socket if i remember right"
9 years ago my seven year old self played this game so much as a pally and I would just spam the spinning hammers spell and play the mad cow level all the time it was so fun. My older bro would also give me a bunch of crazy gear and torches. I was probably the best player for my age lmao.
No, you were shit.
s0denone "For my age". I doubt many seven year old's played d2 and had a couple level 99's with decent gear.. I was just very lucky with my older brother giving me gear and getting me into it that early.
T E R R I B L E
SushiiCatt I doubt any played at all had couple of level 99's anyway. Oh wait..maybe if you had a bot doing baal run 24/7...
The first time i beat hell diablo i was 5, not really much to brag about
Is it common that people play classic over LOD?
No
THANK YOU KRIPP, IT WAS AWESOME
how do you even play d2? I know it worked when i had XP, but since i got my new computer the game just doesn't run, get a ctd black screen error.
Right click diablo 2 icon. Properties. RUn as administrator, check the box.
Doesn't work, get a runtime exception error (insert random number here). I googled the issue, and apparently it's a common issue.
+Kemandime i still play D2 on my new gaming pc
no issue
You should try Median XL mod for Diablo 2. A new version of it was just released (Ultimative XV) and it makes the game much more challenging and interesting.
i'm pretty sure static field works all the way to 1 hp in expansion too. In normal its 1 hp. in nightmare its down to 25% life, in hell static works to 50% life. Its been a while since i played but thats how i remember it
Did you ever play median XL Kripp?
I really enjoy watching you play games Kripp.. except hearthstone i wish something else would come out that you could play. i will just wait untill u find something new to play.
I remember that WW barb video.
Has it really been two years? Fucking christ.
haha thats what i said. I remember the friends-RIP vid too. How time flies :(
I can't even play D3, it ripped the gritty and bloodfilled atmosphere, and randomly getting some of the most godly item you can find; that not all the time but sometimes would be crazy/random looking/no cookey cutter da bomb diggity items. Not to mention dropped by the bosses that you didn't have to go through 4 floors of random bull to get too. Not to mention crazy as hell Uber runs, and cool secrets.
What do you think about D2 vs D3?
Back in the day I used to have a poison necromancer with perfect gear. The guy did 15+k with poison nova and 100k+ with poison dagger. Every time I stabbed uber diablo with my poison dagger his health gauge drastically moved. Don't even get me started on how much my corpse explosion did. It was a real shame to run into poison immunity though. I literally couldn't get past the sewer level in act 2 without help because pretty much everything was poison immune
Another hearthstone video another..
oh.. wait..
Is there an HD version of this?

How did you/he assign all five stat points with one click?
Left Shift + Left mouse click = spend all available points in clicked attribute
NeverMorka
Ah makes sense, just like potions and scrolls.
Why would you not use the expansion?
Diablo 2 Ftw... played it growiing up too...
D2 is one of my favorite games!
It's been 2 years since the original ww video? WOW
Frozen Orb was so broken in pre-LOD (1.00-1.06) D2. With no spell cooldown timers and no immune monsters, a frozen orb/static sorc could own every monster in the game. OF course, back then vendors also didn't sell mana potions so you had to have points in energy and max warmth. Very overpowered but very fun. Try playing older versions sometime. The game was pretty imbalanced.
the immune monsters are só annoying and they seemingly serve no purpose other than to annoy players-.-
I'd recommend energy shield on later levels and with better gear, especially on hardcore
Diablo 2 is timeless
Anyone else miss the old fire wall sorc? Way back when they took the full dmg/s as soon as they stepped into it.
I miss the old hydra sorc :P
i tried to play diablo 2 again before but my disc mysteriously vanished sometime ago and i aint buyin it again
it's like 5 dollars
Even in most recent LoD patch, you always take static field as sorc.. true, in Hell it's pretty nerfed, but 1/16th or 1/32nd dmg or whatever it does to bosses is still insane.
Hey Moldran, Kripp is Back !
Best game of old time. Miss my necro !
Frozen Orb was my favorite skill!

How do you kill Lord de Seis?
i loved how in d2 leveling was the end game, not loot. loot helped you level cause of lost experience. in d3 loot is the end game and because of that they have to give it false longevity by making specific loot hard to get via extreme randomness and a lot of potential for garbage
my fondest memories of d2 are of being 'complete' in terms of gear, but reckless in gameplay at the start of a level because theres not much to lose but being SUPER hardcore-like careful (even in softcore) because losing 15% experience when you're at 75% on the bar was a waste of days or weeks worth of time and the mentality change in me on the same character playing from d3 version softcore (reckless) to hardcore-like careful on the same character every level was kind of cool
there are too many fundamental changes to d3 to ever bring it back to d2. they are set on going with the new talent system and making LOOT the end game and allowing characters reach max level super quick and thus all changes they make are built on this faulty foundation
i understand re-imagining d2 in d3 but taking a loved system like the talent points and leveling as the end game (not the loot - which makes trading viable since its a means to an end, not the end itself) was a short sighted mistake. and defending it is worse. i dont know why you would take a system that works and change it instead of enhancing it.
starcraft 2 was an excellent re-imagining of starcraft 1. same game enhanced. d3 is a completely diff game and d2 fans were let down when the game became a loot-driven game instead of a leveling one.
reaching 99 in classic d2 was a Feat of Strength and you could SEE those toons in the chat screen
Anyone remember the Amazon days when Piercing Arrow would pierce with Guided Arrow?
YEAAHH HARDCORE KRIPP BACK
you dont go mana shield?
wait... can you respec points now?
Oh you didn't do it version 1.03, which is the true classic. For examples, there were no immune monsters and there were no synergies. It's a completely different experience to play with these than the original. So yes, the title is misleading to call her the original sorc.
Wait, what?
I mean i could be wrong, but Static works the same in LOD, I was always able to shock down bosses further than 50% with it.
In hell difficulty it's 50%
In NM it's 75%
during the era where Classic was live there was no limit on static field damage, even on Hell. There were faster cast sorcs called Twitch sorcs that had 20 static field and 20 frozen orb as a playstyle. This was eventually nerfed, possibly at the time of 1.08 patch, prior to LOD launch, along with the introduction of resist immunes
I guess in classic games static field remained un-nerfed compared to expansion games, regardless of the LOD patch
+Quiestre you can Static to 25% i did it as well
Why your chest too small? Its previous patch or something?
+GamerGirlManGaKa It's classic, not LoD
D3: more farming, faster paced, skill builds varies around Legendaries you farmed. More approachable to new players.
PoE: You must know exactly how to build and what to do, along with somewhat confusing currency. All of this added up can be very intimidating to new players while seasoned players will enjoy it.
Now what is more fun is subjectively depends on how you want to play. More unique builds, PoE wins by far, more actions, skills spamming, D3 wins.
No hell mode video. Probably for the fact that enemies get Elemental Immunity. Sorceresses were never meant to single element end game. Dual elemental spec is required to survive in hell mode.
uuuuuuh a non hearthstone video in ages and even a diablo one ....... like +
Grab you a high 3 socket mask and use 3 perfect skulls, save u tons of pots and gold at level 18 and up! good idea to have 5 three socket masks with each lvl of skulls durin ladder reset for leveling other charaters too, saves tons of pots and gold for buying or gambling too!!
