The D2 community needs to petition Blizz to make you turn in to a cow when full Cow King set is worn. And add 100% chance to moo in agony when you die.
Tal's is easily the top set through all classes. It can be used for high end PvP, and allows you to hit all the important breakpoints. Rest of the sets hold back their respective classes, but Tals is massive.
@@sabastianevans9517 dont even try tal allow even as for as doing uber, give pretty heavy -res making it strong pve and pve there is just no contest when it come to full set tal is several league ahead
I have full trang-ouls, I just don't use it often enough because the faster cast rate is a massive omission. The main benefit from the full set is that you can turn run off and get the defence bonus. You're probably about to mention that in the video but it's 9/10ths of the way to being a mega set.
The lack of FCR really hurts for poison or bone, and the lack of teleport really hurts for a summoner. It's a really awesome set that just isn't good enough, unfortunately.
Angelic Raiment + Sigon is probably the most overpowered you can possibly be as a twink in normal difficulty. Both have extremely low lvl requirements and you can wear the entirety of both sets at the same time with the only overlap being the chest piece. You can get almost 200% mf with both sets if you use the angelic chest or can just be a bigget melee powerhouse if you use the sigon chest. I always hold onto a full set of both for anytime i roll a new melee character. The moment you hit lvl 12 and put both of them on you are basically immortal all the way thru normal and holds out fairly well thru a good amount of NM too.
this is such an excellent overview of the sets! you know, we all accumulate these sets on mules but rarely do we really have the time to research the usefulness of partial sets bonuses. the weap/armor upgrade ability has made some of these old sets worthy all of the way in to hell. what a great video.
Sigon's set is insanely powerful for an Assassin due to it's amazing synergy with that character, as it gives you EVERYTHING you need no matter which build you go. It's also insane for a Paladin when using Holy Fire due to the thorns ability helping alongside it. If you pump everything into strength at the beginning until you hit 65, then equip the entire set, you become 100% unkillable. It can easily carry you through Nightmare too. There are other set bonuses that you can use to max out resistances where Diablo can't even kill you when being a really low level Barbarian. Sets are genuinely overpowered in Normal and Nightmare. The dev's should buff Mavina's, due to Stony Tomb now being an area to farm. It would also be good if the dev's decided to rework the requirements on all gear classes, and remove the ridiculous amount of strength required to wear, let's say, a Spired Helm.
Sigon's is also pretty easy to get (as in it drop rates are insanely good) and quite easy to wear since un-upgraded it needs like cLVL 6. The only problem with Sigon's set is that they usually get passed pretty quickly (doing normal and like A1 or A2 on NM is still fine on particular classes) but calling it OP is madness (there are plenty of uniques and runewords that are much more useful especially in mid levels; and it also require a bit of points dumped into STR very early on (not a good deal for caster/dex based characters). Other than that, IMHO opinion it maybe even deserves a higher spot on the set ranking list.
i 100% agree Sig's is the number 1 set i will always pick up a full set through the ladder or single player. normal is a walk with sigs and will take you into NM no prob i drop the shield most often then just replace other peaces at around the lvl 29ish mark
definitely not unkillable. seen someone die with it in like a 5 person game on hardcore. they triggered some monster spawn on act 2 and got surrounded and died instantly.
Ggm is the Encyclopedia Britannica of D2R. Best on youtube bar none and i watch a lot content creaters. He even comments on recent questions on his old videos. The man is the GOAT
Good video, I didn't know about the usefulness of Iratha so TIL. I'd like to add that Sigon's belt is imo one of the best belt in early game, simply because it gives you max potion slots without upgrading it.
Personally feel like its better paired with two angelic rings and angelic set armor, what I guess could say is the biggest drawback is needed lvl 15 to wear everything, but when you hit that mark its lots of resistance, poison length reduction, reasonable amount of armor and lots of attack rating. Also you don't get nearly as much stamina drain as you do with Sigon's. But around 30 I usually change to unique stuff like most probably do since that when some the good stuff there become available.
honestly I dont oppose having a house in D2. That would be sweet if they made it like sims where You can display Your treasures in like museum cases then take it out to put it in inventory.
Stunning video I didn't even know you could upgrade set items!? Been playing this game whilst waiting for d4 to drop running LK right now whilst watching this video to make my first infinity And learned so much 10/10 would watch again Also I love the way you pronounce 'especially' xD
I wonder if they've already fixed the full trangs vampire cast speed penalty. It wasn't just the regular penalty you'd expect from the fact that the vamp's animations have more frames - it literally put a cooldown on your bone spear. They did even have a note on Arreat Summit saying they acknowledge it's a bug. So has anything been done with that in D2R?
i gotta tell ya man this is quite an impressive VOD. When I first saw the title and then saw that the video duration is about an hour long I was scratching my head thinking... How in the hell is he gonna talk about top 10 sets for an hour without alot of bullshitting around and babbling on about alot of nothing BUT then I watched/listened and U did a HELL of a job explaining things like " why sets made honorable mentions and why u like or dislike certain aspects of the sets while still getting directly to the point/meat and potatoes of it all. Great job and great break down. Kuddos and keep up the great work.
Well Thank you, I know my content tends to be on the longer side but it makes for great listening while your at work =p. I even format my videos in a way that allows the viewer to listen instead of watch if they want to. This is also one of the reasons you see my videos tend to be hyperfocused on one single topic instead of broad topics like this. Because in general I tend to have a lot to say. So when the focus is broad like top 10 sets ranked, the videos end up being pretty long. But when I Focus on say a single unique item or a single skill the content is shorter and more digestible Anyway I am glad you enjoy the content I have a lot more where this came from =).
Love your work, Ginger-sensei !! I listen to your playlists (Uniques / Sets / Skills) regularly while playing D-2R , since getting it on Playstation last month ☺️. One very minor point / question I wanted to mention - on the Sets playlist, you have Naj’s (iirc) as the second to last - and even say in the vid you think it should be the final one. Then the actual last one is Vidalas ? I just wasn’t sure if the order had accidentally been flipped w those two, when you added em’ to the List. Other than that, I’m debating starting a “Poison Necro” to go with the Bone Spear / Prison one I already have.. and I’d love to see you do the Skills vids on those (Dagger / P-Explosion / Nova) at some point, to continue your Skills Analysis Playlist 🙏 PS - thank you SO much for all you do for the game / Community. You have an amazingly helpful channel !
Go Poison Nova and Skeletons. Max Skeletons and get up to summon resist. Max Poison Nova and its bonuses and put the rest / some points along the way into skeleton mastery. For curses use Lower Resist most of the time and then amp damage for your minions. This build rapes.
Probably uploaded them wrong or, completely missed viadals and had to go back to finish that video. As for the Posion Necro skills will be doing videos on them. My list of videos that need to be finished is a mile long so in time
Hope they make some new sets too! And name them after other characters we hear the names of during the game, like Horazon, Ku Y'leh, Lam Esen, Talic, Korlic, Madawc etc.
I use TO poison nova build with max block and Death's Web. This was an insane cow killer and now with the sunder charms can clear the entire game with ease. It's the only build in game which keeps its max block while moving insanely fast. Even with my 900 hp I haven't died once.
Thanks man, really appreciate the thorough content. Am 45yo and been playing D since the very 1st one. But everytime I'm watching one of your vids I'm learning new things 😎
Lol no edits just pauses, 🤣 Obs while recording allows you to pause the recording so you can do other things like cough and die in the corner. So instead of editing, I pause the recording while I get whatever I need ready.
As a complete set, IK is very hard to beat for its cost. I started as barb on D2R launch, and I got the set on like day 3 or 4. I always mained barb, but surprisingly never played full IK, and I was amazed how strong it is. Super tanky, massive AR bonus solves hit chance issues, farms CS solo easily. Only drawback is shattering corpses, but honestly the CC freezee provides made me content with it (bosses rarely shatter anyway, and I did take it up to 90). As partial set uses, I agree with your list 100%
Last week, I wore a full Iratha's set for the first time. I've played over the years, and I would usually just throw the helmet on before fighting normal Diablo. But, yeah, I tried the whole set on my Javazon, and I used it from Act 4 in normal until Act 1 or so in Hell. It's an under-rated set for sure!
of course this video is only opinion based but the craziest part about it is that the number 10 here is by far the MOST seen sets being used on ladder from start to finish lol, for its level nothing competes but like you said past lvl 40 its starts to fail but its almost essential for power lvling any char to 40 imo. leagues better than cowking and the other much higher tier sets it was against. awesome vid bro
I know that cosmetic is a totally superficial feature, but come on. IK= glow. Mavina= Glow. Tals= glow. Aldurs= glow. Natalya's= see-through? Trang= FREAKING VAMPIRE! The run/walk thing is definitely OP and I was unaware of it. Awesome list!
I like Aldur's weapon, it's really nice at level 43 when you get it. Seems like I always get it from NM Andy. Going through early NM is all it's good for though.
Solid rankings, can't argue with much. Yes folks dislike the fast cast issue with Trang's but it's the ONLY way to run and have full def and block in the game. Add that to the other goodies the full set does and it makes the helmet worth wearing even. Poison Nova necros with a few facets can make this nasty indeed
@@cIeetz Yeah it's a pretty major feature, and especially with poison necro, fast cast isn't important. Really not much of an issue for the summon necro w/ corpse explosion either. It's a bfd vs those damn piercing ranged missiles
You just reminded me that D2 vanilla didn't have cube upgrade recipe for set items at all. Man, to have forgotten that must mean that I accepted it fully. Glad that they changed it in D2R.
Keep in mind that you mention upgrading the set parts which can only be done by a ladder character currently. In order for all characters to use full sigons right at level 6 they would need to add - requirements to all the parts for the gloves -42%, belt -30%, boots -40%, helmet -30%, body -40%, and shield -40% in order for all classes to be able to equip the full set at level 6. This is figured from the base strength of the sorceress which is 10 at the start of the game + 25 attribute points (5 per level x 5 level ups from level 1 to level 6) putting all points into strength and this also uses the +10 strength from the gloves to equip the rest of the set. As far as it goes currently none of the characters can even equip sigons gloves right at level 6 much less the rest of the set
Love Trangs! One of the best things about it (as HC especially) is the huge 25% damage reduction from the full set which paired with the defense walk bonus makes for truly tanky characters.
I would have rated it higher it it weren't so difficult to obtain and to deck out in jewels and runes.. Moral of the story is, yes you can make Griswold's insane but you need insane jewels and insane runes to do it.
Whats great about most top teir sets is that they take alot of the guess work out of a character build, and get your character pretty viable and hell worthy all awhile being realistically affordable to the average player. You throw in and add a few charms and that torch, you're looking at a very respectful build that hangs with the best of em.
I believe Mavina should have been ranked higher simply because it has allowed me to create a budget bowazon that can farm anywhere. After getting more equipment like Highlord, SOJ, Raven Frost and 4pcs of +Bow Skillers I can farm literally anywhere including Baal. Not the fastest Baal runner but definitely bang for the buck.
Damn I didnt know Iratha was so badass...10% every resistance cap on every res type is so huge on hardcore. Throwing an Um in the helmet to top up resistances even further and possibly pairing that with something like a Shaftstop body which reduces physical damage by 30% to prevent deaths by dolls exploding would be legit. Then wearing a couple spirit runewords in the weapon and shield slot which are easy to farm runes for to get the resistances, magic absorb, +500 to defense from missiles, and +4 to skill levels, You would be pretty damn tanky.
Yes Iratha's is one of the tankiest sets in the game easily making your character into basically an unkillable god as low as level 15. When paired up with something like Dark Glow Ring mail you can actually get all your resistances up to 90% at lvl 15 with ease. Or just use some very offensive equipment like Twitchthroe or BoneFlesh Even in nightmare and Hell difficulty it can still be useful.
So just realized something about the Trang gloves that was different back in LoD days. Don't think most people noticed this but that +25% to poison mastery use to require 2 or 3 peices of the set which kinda messed with builds outside of necros. So the set defilently got an upgrade making it more useful for other classes.
While I agree with your assessment of the top sets, I feel like sets need to be reevaluated given the modern context of the game. There are some seriously questionable choices in itemization that limit the usefulness of the set, especially when compared piece-by-piece to things like Shako or other "meta" options. I believe each set needs an identity within the meta, or as a logical step in your progression through the meta in order to be compelling to players; like seen in Tals and Trangs. It is probably the least exciting balancing that can be done, but the ability to actually wear some of the items that have a unique appearance without majorly limiting your character would be beneficial to the health of the game imo.
Sigons and Death's sets are probably the two best sets for hardcore players early on. These two sets basically make most of the low level unique items useless.
Sigon's is VERY underrated. I have no idea why this guy doesn't like it. It's literally OP for all classes apart from the 2 dedicated casters, which are Sorc and Necro. You can even benefit from it when using a Fire Druid, and especially if you use a Trap Assassin.
@@WardenOfTerra Everyone knows that Sigs are basically one of the best sets in game you can legit use it up til like lvl 60 and still be viable and tear it up.
Damn...as soon as I saw the title my guess was Angelics would be #1 on the list.... fun vid good stuff Also.....I wasn't looking at the screen when you said the #1 and I thought you said Tancreds....I almost fell off the couch lol
Every time I level a new caster, I use Sig's boots, gloves, and belt, with full Cathan's until I can level up enough to equip stuff like leaf, stealth, and Vipermagi. It's a very short window of usefulness I know, but I stash enough +str charms to be able to equip the Sigon's pieces at lvl 6. Kind of bummed Cathan's didn't get an honorable mention. It makes those 6/8 levels super quick.
42:30 When you put just the belt(upped) it claims just 24 level of req but when both pieces added together it transforms to 29 lvl of req and this is a correct one since people complained that before level 29 it is impossible to use it.
Thanks for the info ggm! Fyi there is a faint electronic beeping or whining sound in the background of this and at least one other video I’ve seen recently.
can't find it, whatever it is I can't hear it and there are so few objects in my studio that could even make the noise. I honestly wish I knew what it was.
I like the 3 piece combos from Sigon’s, and later IK. Specifically the G/B/B of both. The Hs are also great on both. But the 3 piece is what I usually run on my melee char as a base setup. IK 3 piece strength, vitality, ias, +ar, fhr, frw, and def are all sweet for 3 piece. And that’s off top of my head for non barb. Sigon’s has the ias, frw, mf, and Def for early leveling. None are necessarily BiS, but can definitely get you through the search for BiS no problem.
Trang- Oul, Tal Rasha and Inmortal King sets give you an amazing amount of resistances from all, very high defence, life, dextery, strengh, damage rating, skills points, magic finding and drain mana/life for hit. But they are designer for a specifical class build, Trang Oul and Tal Rasha is for long distances with magical attacks and Inmortal King is for short distance with meele attack. You can very easily beat the game since normal to hell with anyone of those full sets without a merc support you, Even "Terror zones". (Except Ubers) here you will need a very good merc gear for help you survive and kill Duriel, Izual, Lilith and the Three Evil Primes Ubers together.
My favorite set is M'avs for a freezing/exploding arrow zon. I play hardcore, and it's amazing for that. You get full res, decent MF, and you can farm anywhere in the game safely, even on higher player counts all for an ist rune or less.
A lot of those sets are especially useful for leveling. I think that was a little bit lost there because all the earlier sets where upgraded. When you wear Trang-Oul full set you will have *terrible* faster cast frames. On that alone I would disagree that this is the best set.
Brilliant just brilliant he turns away alders for the druid only on the helm then put natalya's on the list with a assassins only item in it just funny
I have to finally ask/mention if anyone has ever noticed that sometimes when you take something out of your cube, you health goes down? You’re even injured. Not taking about a charm which adds to life either. It’s a small amount of health but it makes me think you were in the cube too long, like it’s a hell raiser cube.
The Disciple set is missing here. Since most of the sets here include a (mediocre) weapon and yes that can be a problem, The Disciple should be mentioned.
I think it also depends what level You are. I'm fairly new to D2 and didnt even know you could upgrade set gear before watching this vid. People like Sigons at low level cause its complete, but Isenhart is also a good starter setup as well as civerbs if You are a pally. I guess as you get higher level splitting the sets up is a better option typically except with certain ones like Tal Rasha.
Hmm, yeah, cosmetically Trang-oul's is the best, but you didn't really mention that while in vampire form you lose the better FCR/FHR/IAS/FBR break points, and it takes a lot more to reach any other BP (aside from the default breakpoints with full trang's, which is a lot of frames slower than base necromancer). Now, perhaps this has been changed in D2R, as I'm just remembering most from D2 LoD, however since it was intentionally done, and not a bug from the original d2/d2 LoD, I'd assume the breakpoints are still the same. Also, I just gotta say, regardless of current meta, I can't say that I'd honestly put T.O.'s set as #1, or 2... but maybe 3rd, if we're only counting full class exclusive sets. Tal's and Immortal King's, just imo, are slightly better. I am highly biased as well though, because I only play on Hardcore [ladder of course], and necromancer's are extremely difficult to keep alive while still retaining the ability to do damage at the same time. Anyways, just my thoughts and opinions as a member of the hardcore community for over a decade (exclusively playing HC only), so I hope I didn't come across the wrong way to anyone. It's also just a matter of my own personal preferences adding to the bias a bit. ^_^ P.S. - I love Griswald set smiters for ubers, even though I haven't bothered gearing my smiters with anything more than a hoz, GA, Heaven's Light (2x Shael), drax, dwarf + ravenfrost rings, dungos, highlords ammy, gores or gtoes for boots, and of course, Guil's face/mask. Then sticking an um in Guardian Angel + GFace, upgrading the hoz from gilded to zak shield (higher smite damage and a smaller min-max range, as well as defense) and adding a pdiamond. Then just make a treachary for the mini-ubers / key bosses, for the IAS and more importantly, fade. Re-apply fade before doing tristram, easiest way is to go to river of flame and stand in the fire til it procs, and then swap back to your GA armor. Fade persists even after removing treachary, and lasts a decent amount of time! I can kill mephisto with either level 1 salvation, or fanat, due to the fade proc with ease. Lilith is really the only one to keep an eye on in HC, imo. Anyways, I digress, lol. Cheers, Ben
Great content as usual. Not sure if I agree w trans over tals just cuz of the fcr drop as a vampire, but it is definitely still a top tier set as you outlined. Never knew about iratha's so thanks for that as well.
I love that fire mastery bonus with the full set My firemancer has fun with the corpse explosions and the fire walls on nice thing is the skeletons keep the monsters tied down in firewalls. If you are a pure summon necro the firewalls from the 3 piece bonus makes a tremendous difference in areas like maggot lair and other tight spaces like jail or arcane sanctuary flayer dungion and choke points in act 3 bridges or act 2 doorways
I would love to see a balance state of the game where we can use the full 5pc trangs, Fire golem, CE and LR from the necro kit and the Fire skills from the set bonus to make a full Pyromancer. It would have all the same issues as other fire builds, but the bones being there already for another way to play the necro makes me want it to happen.
@@gabes7356 that sounds like a pretty solid build option. maybe remove the LR diminishing returns so it makes sense to put more than one point in it; with enough +skills you hit the soft cap of -63. I also like the idea of rolling +% elemental damage for both the Fire golem and mages into the summon resist skill; maybe call it "elemental mastery". At present there isn't any reason to take more than one point so a synergy bonus might make it more appealing.
Yes now the road can use the moving his butt as well as several other pieces of the set. Theoretically put the bow the helmet in the armor on her and get the three-piece bonuses
I would if you don't have like Wealth RW or 4 Ptopaz socketed body armor. Can never have enough MF. Moar is bettah! I ran full Cowking for my budget Frenzy/ WW Barb with double Bloodletter gladius' and it was pretty damn good setup too. I don't see why it wouldn't work with ur Java.
Oh shit! I'm literally at Baal in hell difficulty right now and am still using the regular death's sash. I had no idea you could upgrade it so I've just had 2 rows for potions the entire game 😅😂
I don't understand how the iratha's set is giving you 95% (overcapped 85%) resists in normal mode. You've got 30% from individual item bonuses, 15% from the amulet partial bonus, and 20% from the set bonus. That still only adds up to 65%, where's the last 30% resistances coming from?
Personally I like combo sig glove, belt boot and maybe helm, then the rest be angelic set to slap some elemental effects at 60% ias. Pick your own shield or helm, but those pieces slap!
For sigons, I leveled a pally suuuuper easy to hell with it. I wanted to be a smiter, but was having super poor luck getting a shield. so until I got a 4os pally shield, I just had 1 point into sacrifice and put that on left click and literally just left clicked my way through. granted, I had to have healing pots ready for skeles. I think the weapon I was using for a long time was civerbs
I was hoping to see this list. I felt unsure about keeping some of these, like Aldur's, after trying out the incomplete portions I get my paws on and trying them on combat... Going to try to squeeze out some more use from them.
Criteria "must be usable by more than a few builds" Rank 10 sigons which is the best set for leveling hands down bar none great for every build in the game to level with. Rank 1 Budget necro gear with the "best" attribute being locked behind using the full set which only necros can.
I am afraid that unless something was changed in last patches that Fire Mastery doesn't affect the fire part of CE. As far as I understand that was tested with use of CE items and a sorc. But I am not sure about Full trangul since CE is a native skill for a necr and things might be different.
Lol I played d2 lod way back in the day best thing is tals set with the bugged tals armor my buddy had one forgot to click trade and perm before save and leave and it poofed on em. Man idk how I haven't got into d2r yet just busy... but my hammerdin/FoH Destroyer elemental druid with a cyclone armor that absorbed even a top geared bugged tals FoH pally at the time level 98 he was so..

My buddy with the FoH pally at the time was the one who had played the game since release I was only 13-15 when i did all the damage I did I'm 27 almost 28 now but he had basically spent years on perfecting his fist of heaveans paladin acquiring the tals bugged armor the bugged scepter that the foh pallys used (I'm doing this from memory lol 13 years later.) And this fool even had the 40 hp + character skill Grand charms I mean Perfect foh pally Nd my druid could take 2 full hits of FoH with his conviction aura on me before be even started to lose a touch of health.

Been so busy lately so I said hey possibly for my 28th in October I'll treat myself and join the Group again because redoing a masterpiece like d2 exactly the same is something I've wanted for years... but yes I got lucky at the time I was able to enjoy it we had bugged weapons all kinda stuff I can't wait to get an hdin going on resurrected when I get it! Then of course ele druid then a smiter to embarrass ubers lol im.getting ahead of myself lol but yeah man was a great time to be playing the game! The resurrected gameplay looks beautiful..

@@GGMentor exactly. I am playing Barb only weapon mastery skill and I had luck to find early game in normal full Civerb.

My goal is Immortal King cuz I am playing mele only
I like sigon's head and armor on melee mercs in normal. I had them run across the whole normal with those two items and decent poking stick in hand without any issues multiple times ( on player 8 ).
@@francootaola9172 down the rabbit hole we go. O-Skills are skills granted to you by a piece or pieces of equipment. They don't just allow you to use the skill, they grant the skill to you as if you own it and plus to skills effects the O-Skill.
Made a barb in d2 resurrected on ps4, he's level 13 right now, and I have cleglaws shield and gloves, sigons helm and belt, and isenharts sword and armour, it seems like a pretty great combination for him so far
Yea I’m rocking my bone spear necro On ladder. yep I use Trang’s to Prebuff with the armor and use the belt all the time and the only reason I don’t use the gloves is my fcr amulet and ring both rolled all res+cold but as soon as I get even a comparable ring or amulet with any other resistance then cold the mage fist is probably coming off for trangs gloves lol
I really luke using Guillaumes Face with the belt on my barb, the 5/5mana and life leech is great and the 2pc bonus grants 35 life and its w9rked amazing
I don't really agree with his take in regards to M'avina's set. It favors the Amazon's cold skills, but it also boosts everything else. Javelin skills get a 2 point boost while passive and bow skills get 5 or 6. It isn't detrimental to your amazon build unless you're already wearing gear specific to your amazon's skills.
How do you guys get this stuff? I work in a factory 10-12 hours a day and can’t play a lot. Do you seriously just have to sit at home and play video games all day to get this? Not being rude but do you have to run something 2000 times to get one thing?

Tal's is easily the top set through all classes. It can be used for high end PvP, and allows you to hit all the important breakpoints. Rest of the sets hold back their respective classes, but Tals is massive.
Angelics doesn’t hold back any melee characters. Especially in pvp against high defense builds…. It’s actually a must.

I have full trang-ouls, I just don't use it often enough because the faster cast rate is a massive omission. The main benefit from the full set is that you can turn run off and get the defence bonus. You're probably about to mention that in the video but it's 9/10ths of the way to being a mega set.
false.
main benefit is look like a skelly.
the casting doesnt bother my poison nova and fire wall. the worst part about trangs. tapping urns or barrels without IAS. its like 50 frames. try it!
Full Trangs actually goes against your FCR sadly. You're better off using only 3 pieces of it I believe it was.
The lack of FCR really hurts for poison or bone, and the lack of teleport really hurts for a summoner.
It's a really awesome set that just isn't good enough, unfortunately.
Wow how did I not know this holy cow
Angelic Raiment + Sigon is probably the most overpowered you can possibly be as a twink in normal difficulty. Both have extremely low lvl requirements and you can wear the entirety of both sets at the same time with the only overlap being the chest piece. You can get almost 200% mf with both sets if you use the angelic chest or can just be a bigget melee powerhouse if you use the sigon chest. I always hold onto a full set of both for anytime i roll a new melee character. The moment you hit lvl 12 and put both of them on you are basically immortal all the way thru normal and holds out fairly well thru a good amount of NM too.
100% Sig's Angelic rips and i get a set every time i play
this is such an excellent overview of the sets! you know, we all accumulate these sets on mules but rarely do we really have the time to research the usefulness of partial sets bonuses. the weap/armor upgrade ability has made some of these old sets worthy all of the way in to hell. what a great video.
Sigon's set is insanely powerful for an Assassin due to it's amazing synergy with that character, as it gives you EVERYTHING you need no matter which build you go. It's also insane for a Paladin when using Holy Fire due to the thorns ability helping alongside it. If you pump everything into strength at the beginning until you hit 65, then equip the entire set, you become 100% unkillable. It can easily carry you through Nightmare too. There are other set bonuses that you can use to max out resistances where Diablo can't even kill you when being a really low level Barbarian. Sets are genuinely overpowered in Normal and Nightmare. The dev's should buff Mavina's, due to Stony Tomb now being an area to farm. It would also be good if the dev's decided to rework the requirements on all gear classes, and remove the ridiculous amount of strength required to wear, let's say, a Spired Helm.
Sigon's is also pretty easy to get (as in it drop rates are insanely good) and quite easy to wear since un-upgraded it needs like cLVL 6. The only problem with Sigon's set is that they usually get passed pretty quickly (doing normal and like A1 or A2 on NM is still fine on particular classes) but calling it OP is madness (there are plenty of uniques and runewords that are much more useful especially in mid levels; and it also require a bit of points dumped into STR very early on (not a good deal for caster/dex based characters). Other than that, IMHO opinion it maybe even deserves a higher spot on the set ranking list.
i 100% agree Sig's is the number 1 set i will always pick up a full set through the ladder or single player. normal is a walk with sigs and will take you into NM no prob i drop the shield most often then just replace other peaces at around the lvl 29ish mark
Sigon with Cathan Amu and 2 Cathan Rings +20 str 12% LL ftw
definitely not unkillable. seen someone die with it in like a 5 person game on hardcore. they triggered some monster spawn on act 2 and got surrounded and died instantly.
Ggm is the Encyclopedia Britannica of D2R. Best on youtube bar none and i watch a lot content creaters. He even comments on recent questions on his old videos. The man is the GOAT
It's Wikipedia not Britannica, duh
(I have the full set, no pun intended)
Good video, I didn't know about the usefulness of Iratha so TIL. I'd like to add that Sigon's belt is imo one of the best belt in early game, simply because it gives you max potion slots without upgrading it.
Personally feel like its better paired with two angelic rings and angelic set armor, what I guess could say is the biggest drawback is needed lvl 15 to wear everything, but when you hit that mark its lots of resistance, poison length reduction, reasonable amount of armor and lots of attack rating. Also you don't get nearly as much stamina drain as you do with Sigon's. But around 30 I usually change to unique stuff like most probably do since that when some the good stuff there become available.
I absolutely love set items. I wish Blizzard included a display area in the game where you can put your collected complete sets and display them.
that would be awesome
honestly I dont oppose having a house in D2. That would be sweet if they made it like sims where You can display Your treasures in like museum cases then take it out to put it in inventory.
yeah, that would be epic. rly good idea bro@@cIeetz
@@cIeetz this could make an epic boost in game time
Excellent work my friend. You taught us about little details that make the difference. D2R is a new game now.❤
Stunning video
I didn't even know you could upgrade set items!?
Been playing this game whilst waiting for d4 to drop running LK right now whilst watching this video to make my first infinity
And learned so much
10/10 would watch again
Also I love the way you pronounce 'especially' xD
"I didn't even know you could upgrade set items!?"
That was added like a year and a half ago on a d2r patch
I wonder if they've already fixed the full trangs vampire cast speed penalty. It wasn't just the regular penalty you'd expect from the fact that the vamp's animations have more frames - it literally put a cooldown on your bone spear. They did even have a note on Arreat Summit saying they acknowledge it's a bug. So has anything been done with that in D2R?
Fantastic content! Honorable mention: Arcanna's Tricks. Massive amount of mana on any caster.
Sigon's carried gens of chars through normal and into nightmare back in the day. Good memories..
i gotta tell ya man this is quite an impressive VOD. When I first saw the title and then saw that the video duration is about an hour long I was scratching my head thinking... How in the hell is he gonna talk about top 10 sets for an hour without alot of bullshitting around and babbling on about alot of nothing BUT then I watched/listened and U did a HELL of a job explaining things like " why sets made honorable mentions and why u like or dislike certain aspects of the sets while still getting directly to the point/meat and potatoes of it all. Great job and great break down. Kuddos and keep up the great work.
Well Thank you, I know my content tends to be on the longer side but it makes for great listening while your at work =p. I even format my videos in a way that allows the viewer to listen instead of watch if they want to.
This is also one of the reasons you see my videos tend to be hyperfocused on one single topic instead of broad topics like this. Because in general I tend to have a lot to say. So when the focus is broad like top 10 sets ranked, the videos end up being pretty long. But when I Focus on say a single unique item or a single skill the content is shorter and more digestible
Anyway I am glad you enjoy the content I have a lot more where this came from =).
Love your work, Ginger-sensei !! I listen to your playlists (Uniques / Sets / Skills) regularly while playing D-2R , since getting it on Playstation last month ☺️. One very minor point / question I wanted to mention - on the Sets playlist, you have Naj’s (iirc) as the second to last - and even say in the vid you think it should be the final one. Then the actual last one is Vidalas ? I just wasn’t sure if the order had accidentally been flipped w those two, when you added em’ to the List.
Other than that, I’m debating starting a “Poison Necro” to go with the Bone Spear / Prison one I already have.. and I’d love to see you do the Skills vids on those (Dagger / P-Explosion / Nova) at some point, to continue your Skills Analysis Playlist 🙏
PS - thank you SO much for all you do for the game / Community. You have an amazingly helpful channel !
Go Poison Nova and Skeletons. Max Skeletons and get up to summon resist. Max Poison Nova and its bonuses and put the rest / some points along the way into skeleton mastery. For curses use Lower Resist most of the time and then amp damage for your minions. This build rapes.
Probably uploaded them wrong or, completely missed viadals and had to go back to finish that video.
As for the Posion Necro skills will be doing videos on them.
My list of videos that need to be finished is a mile long so in time
I’ve been running a Bliz sorc with Angelics and half of Sigons for insane magic find in low level gear. Took me through NM no problem
As always, your content is criminally underrated!
Hope they make some new sets too! And name them after other characters we hear the names of during the game, like Horazon, Ku Y'leh, Lam Esen, Talic, Korlic, Madawc etc.
Horazon's Urinal set 🤣
Wirt's Whizzy Wonder... 283% faster run/walk on boots.
I use TO poison nova build with max block and Death's Web. This was an insane cow killer and now with the sunder charms can clear the entire game with ease. It's the only build in game which keeps its max block while moving insanely fast. Even with my 900 hp I haven't died once.
Thanks man, really appreciate the thorough content. Am 45yo and been playing D since the very 1st one. But everytime I'm watching one of your vids I'm learning new things 😎
Glad I can help
A pure stuff conversation, the guy really love d2... nice info and work...
I love the fact that you edited the video, it help the flow, good job.
Lol no edits just pauses, 🤣
Obs while recording allows you to pause the recording so you can do other things like cough and die in the corner.
So instead of editing, I pause the recording while I get whatever I need ready.
As a complete set, IK is very hard to beat for its cost. I started as barb on D2R launch, and I got the set on like day 3 or 4. I always mained barb, but surprisingly never played full IK, and I was amazed how strong it is. Super tanky, massive AR bonus solves hit chance issues, farms CS solo easily. Only drawback is shattering corpses, but honestly the CC freezee provides made me content with it (bosses rarely shatter anyway, and I did take it up to 90).
As partial set uses, I agree with your list 100%
You play it as WW barb? Always asked myself how Concentrate would do.
@@TTOTheTrueOne yep, ww
Always learning something useful. Thanks a lot Ginger.👍
This video was awesome! I was grinding countess while listening to this and she dropped me an Ist!
Niiiiiiice
Last week, I wore a full Iratha's set for the first time. I've played over the years, and I would usually just throw the helmet on before fighting normal Diablo. But, yeah, I tried the whole set on my Javazon, and I used it from Act 4 in normal until Act 1 or so in Hell. It's an under-rated set for sure!
pair it with treachery and win
of course this video is only opinion based but the craziest part about it is that the number 10 here is by far the MOST seen sets being used on ladder from start to finish lol, for its level nothing competes but like you said past lvl 40 its starts to fail but its almost essential for power lvling any char to 40 imo. leagues better than cowking and the other much higher tier sets it was against. awesome vid bro
I know that cosmetic is a totally superficial feature, but come on. IK= glow. Mavina= Glow. Tals= glow. Aldurs= glow. Natalya's= see-through? Trang= FREAKING VAMPIRE! The run/walk thing is definitely OP and I was unaware of it. Awesome list!
"Natalya's= see-through?"
fade does it better :]
The plus 12 regen on angelic also lets you use the 100% bleed runeword without worrying about the negative effects, too.

I like Aldur's weapon, it's really nice at level 43 when you get it. Seems like I always get it from NM Andy. Going through early NM is all it's good for though.
Solid rankings, can't argue with much. Yes folks dislike the fast cast issue with Trang's but it's the ONLY way to run and have full def and block in the game. Add that to the other goodies the full set does and it makes the helmet worth wearing even. Poison Nova necros with a few facets can make this nasty indeed
i didnt know about the run and still have defense. thats hard to argue with for a hardcore player.
@@cIeetz Yeah it's a pretty major feature, and especially with poison necro, fast cast isn't important. Really not much of an issue for the summon necro w/ corpse explosion either. It's a bfd vs those damn piercing ranged missiles
You just reminded me that D2 vanilla didn't have cube upgrade recipe for set items at all. Man, to have forgotten that must mean that I accepted it fully. Glad that they changed it in D2R.
Keep in mind that you mention upgrading the set parts which can only be done by a ladder character currently. In order for all characters to use full sigons right at level 6 they would need to add - requirements to all the parts for the gloves -42%, belt -30%, boots -40%, helmet -30%, body -40%, and shield -40% in order for all classes to be able to equip the full set at level 6. This is figured from the base strength of the sorceress which is 10 at the start of the game + 25 attribute points (5 per level x 5 level ups from level 1 to level 6) putting all points into strength and this also uses the +10 strength from the gloves to equip the rest of the set. As far as it goes currently none of the characters can even equip sigons gloves right at level 6 much less the rest of the set
Love Trangs! One of the best things about it (as HC especially) is the huge 25% damage reduction from the full set which paired with the defense walk bonus makes for truly tanky characters.
3 pieces sigons (gloves, belt, and boots) combined with full isenharts then angelic ami and ring is the way to go for early game melee.
Sigons and angelics are my two favorite. Broken up bonuses how and where you need them suit every champion at different times.
Sigs will always be one of the best sets in game.
Wearing the full set on the necro sadly reduces your FCR frames to a point where casting feels like a waste of time. Other than that, it's cool :)
Griswold full set is one of my favorite sets. Super useful. Cant say enough.
I would have rated it higher it it weren't so difficult to obtain and to deck out in jewels and runes..
Moral of the story is, yes you can make Griswold's insane but you need insane jewels and insane runes to do it.
I was just wondering, wouldn't 4x amn rune in the weapon be godly?
I did notice that knockback works well with a whirlybarb because you can knock enemies back and continue to spin into them again.
Whats great about most top teir sets is that they take alot of the guess work out of a character build, and get your character pretty viable and hell worthy all awhile being realistically affordable to the average player. You throw in and add a few charms and that torch, you're looking at a very respectful build that hangs with the best of em.
I believe Mavina should have been ranked higher simply because it has allowed me to create a budget bowazon that can farm anywhere. After getting more equipment like Highlord, SOJ, Raven Frost and 4pcs of +Bow Skillers I can farm literally anywhere including Baal. Not the fastest Baal runner but definitely bang for the buck.
Run sigon helm+gloves, hsarus belt+boots, and angelic rings+ammy. Would love to see how the AR turns out with different skills
Damn I didnt know Iratha was so badass...10% every resistance cap on every res type is so huge on hardcore. Throwing an Um in the helmet to top up resistances even further and possibly pairing that with something like a Shaftstop body which reduces physical damage by 30% to prevent deaths by dolls exploding would be legit. Then wearing a couple spirit runewords in the weapon and shield slot which are easy to farm runes for to get the resistances, magic absorb, +500 to defense from missiles, and +4 to skill levels, You would be pretty damn tanky.
Yes Iratha's is one of the tankiest sets in the game easily making your character into basically an unkillable god as low as level 15.
When paired up with something like Dark Glow Ring mail you can actually get all your resistances up to 90% at lvl 15 with ease.
Or just use some very offensive equipment like Twitchthroe or BoneFlesh
Even in nightmare and Hell difficulty it can still be useful.
So just realized something about the Trang gloves that was different back in LoD days. Don't think most people noticed this but that +25% to poison mastery use to require 2 or 3 peices of the set which kinda messed with builds outside of necros. So the set defilently got an upgrade making it more useful for other classes.
While I agree with your assessment of the top sets, I feel like sets need to be reevaluated given the modern context of the game. There are some seriously questionable choices in itemization that limit the usefulness of the set, especially when compared piece-by-piece to things like Shako or other "meta" options. I believe each set needs an identity within the meta, or as a logical step in your progression through the meta in order to be compelling to players; like seen in Tals and Trangs. It is probably the least exciting balancing that can be done, but the ability to actually wear some of the items that have a unique appearance without majorly limiting your character would be beneficial to the health of the game imo.
This was an extremely informative video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I knew that making this top was a good idea, nice job 👏
Sigons and Death's sets are probably the two best sets for hardcore players early on. These two sets basically make most of the low level unique items useless.
Sigon's is VERY underrated. I have no idea why this guy doesn't like it. It's literally OP for all classes apart from the 2 dedicated casters, which are Sorc and Necro. You can even benefit from it when using a Fire Druid, and especially if you use a Trap Assassin.
@@WardenOfTerra Everyone knows that Sigs are basically one of the best sets in game you can legit use it up til like lvl 60 and still be viable and tear it up.
Damn...as soon as I saw the title my guess was Angelics would be #1 on the list.... fun vid good stuff
Also.....I wasn't looking at the screen when you said the #1 and I thought you said Tancreds....I almost fell off the couch lol
Don't land on the cat🐈
Every time I level a new caster, I use Sig's boots, gloves, and belt, with full Cathan's until I can level up enough to equip stuff like leaf, stealth, and Vipermagi. It's a very short window of usefulness I know, but I stash enough +str charms to be able to equip the Sigon's pieces at lvl 6. Kind of bummed Cathan's didn't get an honorable mention. It makes those 6/8 levels super quick.
Cathans is much better now that they upgraded it, it's still very niche for fire users though
42:30 When you put just the belt(upped) it claims just 24 level of req but when both pieces added together it transforms to 29 lvl of req and this is a correct one since people complained that before level 29 it is impossible to use it.
Thanks alot for another great video 👍
Its little things like this that help.me get through another boring day at work ❤
Thanks for the info ggm! Fyi there is a faint electronic beeping or whining sound in the background of this and at least one other video I’ve seen recently.
can't find it, whatever it is I can't hear it and there are so few objects in my studio that could even make the noise. I honestly wish I knew what it was.
@@GGMentor I have sensitive ears. I originally thought it was something in my room haha. I’m probably in the minority that notice this stuff.
I like the 3 piece combos from Sigon’s, and later IK. Specifically the G/B/B of both. The Hs are also great on both.
But the 3 piece is what I usually run on my melee char as a base setup.
IK 3 piece strength, vitality, ias, +ar, fhr, frw, and def are all sweet for 3 piece. And that’s off top of my head for non barb.
Sigon’s has the ias, frw, mf, and Def for early leveling.
None are necessarily BiS, but can definitely get you through the search for BiS no problem.
Trang- Oul, Tal Rasha and Inmortal King sets give you an amazing amount of resistances from all, very high defence, life, dextery, strengh, damage rating, skills points, magic finding and drain mana/life for hit.
But they are designer for a specifical class build, Trang Oul and Tal Rasha is for long distances with magical attacks and Inmortal King is for short distance with meele attack. You can very easily beat the game since normal to hell with anyone of those full sets without a merc support you, Even "Terror zones". (Except Ubers) here you will need a very good merc gear for help you survive and kill Duriel, Izual, Lilith and the Three Evil Primes Ubers together.
My favorite set is M'avs for a freezing/exploding arrow zon. I play hardcore, and it's amazing for that. You get full res, decent MF, and you can farm anywhere in the game safely, even on higher player counts all for an ist rune or less.
This was surprisingly informative. I never realized how beneficial some of the low level item sets can be. But wait! Theres more! lol 😆
If you act now I will cut the monthly payments in half to just 3 easy payments of 29.95!! And I will throw in this set of ginsui knives!!
@@GGMentor Take my money! Add to Cart! Click to Buy!
Oh sweet! Ginsu Knives!!
A lot of those sets are especially useful for leveling. I think that was a little bit lost there because all the earlier sets where upgraded.
When you wear Trang-Oul full set you will have *terrible* faster cast frames. On that alone I would disagree that this is the best set.
I was sitting here wondering why it wasnt playing.....turns out its not out yet LMAO
Hahahaha
Hah I appreciate your enthusiasm, starts at 12 est
Brilliant just brilliant he turns away alders for the druid only on the helm then put natalya's on the list with a assassins only item in it just funny
I have to finally ask/mention if anyone has ever noticed that sometimes when you take something out of your cube, you health goes down? You’re even injured. Not taking about a charm which adds to life either. It’s a small amount of health but it makes me think you were in the cube too long, like it’s a hell raiser cube.
Lol gonna take your soul 😈
It’s been a bug for a long time
The Disciple set is missing here.
Since most of the sets here include a (mediocre) weapon and yes that can be a problem, The Disciple should be mentioned.
Wow, I really overlooked the Trang set. I am gonna wear that set on my 2nd Necro.
Ranking Trangs set as number 1 was bold, but you make an interesting argument. I'm still going to have to go with Tals.
Been using Sigon (Gloves+Boots) as well and Angelic (ring and amulet) for years
I think it also depends what level You are. I'm fairly new to D2 and didnt even know you could upgrade set gear before watching this vid. People like Sigons at low level cause its complete, but Isenhart is also a good starter setup as well as civerbs if You are a pally. I guess as you get higher level splitting the sets up is a better option typically except with certain ones like Tal Rasha.
Hmm, yeah, cosmetically Trang-oul's is the best, but you didn't really mention that while in vampire form you lose the better FCR/FHR/IAS/FBR break points, and it takes a lot more to reach any other BP (aside from the default breakpoints with full trang's, which is a lot of frames slower than base necromancer). Now, perhaps this has been changed in D2R, as I'm just remembering most from D2 LoD, however since it was intentionally done, and not a bug from the original d2/d2 LoD, I'd assume the breakpoints are still the same.
Also, I just gotta say, regardless of current meta, I can't say that I'd honestly put T.O.'s set as #1, or 2... but maybe 3rd, if we're only counting full class exclusive sets. Tal's and Immortal King's, just imo, are slightly better. I am highly biased as well though, because I only play on Hardcore [ladder of course], and necromancer's are extremely difficult to keep alive while still retaining the ability to do damage at the same time.
Anyways, just my thoughts and opinions as a member of the hardcore community for over a decade (exclusively playing HC only), so I hope I didn't come across the wrong way to anyone. It's also just a matter of my own personal preferences adding to the bias a bit. ^_^
P.S. - I love Griswald set smiters for ubers, even though I haven't bothered gearing my smiters with anything more than a hoz, GA, Heaven's Light (2x Shael), drax, dwarf + ravenfrost rings, dungos, highlords ammy, gores or gtoes for boots, and of course, Guil's face/mask. Then sticking an um in Guardian Angel + GFace, upgrading the hoz from gilded to zak shield (higher smite damage and a smaller min-max range, as well as defense) and adding a pdiamond. Then just make a treachary for the mini-ubers / key bosses, for the IAS and more importantly, fade. Re-apply fade before doing tristram, easiest way is to go to river of flame and stand in the fire til it procs, and then swap back to your GA armor. Fade persists even after removing treachary, and lasts a decent amount of time! I can kill mephisto with either level 1 salvation, or fanat, due to the fade proc with ease. Lilith is really the only one to keep an eye on in HC, imo. Anyways, I digress, lol.
Cheers,
Ben
Great content as usual. Not sure if I agree w trans over tals just cuz of the fcr drop as a vampire, but it is definitely still a top tier set as you outlined. Never knew about iratha's so thanks for that as well.
I love that fire mastery bonus with the full set My firemancer has fun with the corpse explosions and the fire walls on nice thing is the skeletons keep the monsters tied down in firewalls.
If you are a pure summon necro the firewalls from the 3 piece bonus makes a tremendous difference in areas like maggot lair and other tight spaces like jail or arcane sanctuary flayer dungion and choke points in act 3 bridges or act 2 doorways
I would love to see a balance state of the game where we can use the full 5pc trangs, Fire golem, CE and LR from the necro kit and the Fire skills from the set bonus to make a full Pyromancer. It would have all the same issues as other fire builds, but the bones being there already for another way to play the necro makes me want it to happen.
What they could do is make skeleton mages synergize lower resistance it maybe every point in mages -2% more lower
@@gabes7356 that sounds like a pretty solid build option. maybe remove the LR diminishing returns so it makes sense to put more than one point in it; with enough +skills you hit the soft cap of -63.
I also like the idea of rolling +% elemental damage for both the Fire golem and mages into the summon resist skill; maybe call it "elemental mastery". At present there isn't any reason to take more than one point so a synergy bonus might make it more appealing.
M'Avina could potentially now be usef by the rogue, could be useful (especially the bow)?
Yes now the road can use the moving his butt as well as several other pieces of the set.
Theoretically put the bow the helmet in the armor on her and get the three-piece bonuses
I really like Magnus skin. That AR is so good.
Iratha's is sooo good. Rocking 95% resistances in NM with no resistances from charms. Holy Fire Zeal build
Thinking cow kinda might be good to replace my shako, smoke, war travs for Pindle runs. Thoughts? (Javazon)
I would if you don't have like Wealth RW or 4 Ptopaz socketed body armor. Can never have enough MF. Moar is bettah! I ran full Cowking for my budget Frenzy/ WW Barb with double Bloodletter gladius' and it was pretty damn good setup too. I don't see why it wouldn't work with ur Java.
Oh shit! I'm literally at Baal in hell difficulty right now and am still using the regular death's sash. I had no idea you could upgrade it so I've just had 2 rows for potions the entire game 😅😂
I don't understand how the iratha's set is giving you 95% (overcapped 85%) resists in normal mode. You've got 30% from individual item bonuses, 15% from the amulet partial bonus, and 20% from the set bonus. That still only adds up to 65%, where's the last 30% resistances coming from?
Any additional resistance is gonna put you over.
30% from the three anya quests a good shield with res, a res armor ect
@@GGMentor It was the anya quests I was forgetting about thanks.
Very nice video, bro, thank you. :)
Personally I like combo sig glove, belt boot and maybe helm, then the rest be angelic set to slap some elemental effects at 60% ias. Pick your own shield or helm, but those pieces slap!
For sigons, I leveled a pally suuuuper easy to hell with it. I wanted to be a smiter, but was having super poor luck getting a shield. so until I got a 4os pally shield, I just had 1 point into sacrifice and put that on left click and literally just left clicked my way through. granted, I had to have healing pots ready for skeles. I think the weapon I was using for a long time was civerbs
I was hoping to see this list. I felt unsure about keeping some of these, like Aldur's, after trying out the incomplete portions I get my paws on and trying them on combat... Going to try to squeeze out some more use from them.
Criteria "must be usable by more than a few builds"
Rank 10 sigons which is the best set for leveling hands down bar none great for every build in the game to level with.
Rank 1 Budget necro gear with the "best" attribute being locked behind using the full set which only necros can.
I am afraid that unless something was changed in last patches that Fire Mastery doesn't affect the fire part of CE. As far as I understand that was tested with use of CE items and a sorc. But I am not sure about Full trangul since CE is a native skill for a necr and things might be different.
Lol I played d2 lod way back in the day best thing is tals set with the bugged tals armor my buddy had one forgot to click trade and perm before save and leave and it poofed on em. Man idk how I haven't got into d2r yet just busy... but my hammerdin/FoH Destroyer elemental druid with a cyclone armor that absorbed even a top geared bugged tals FoH pally at the time level 98 he was so.. I use to have a ball go say the least loved my hdin had the bugged wizardspike I believe it was called perfect other gear stats charms sighhh the good old days also loved a good stupid overpower Far Cast zon that shit use to be hilarious back in day I'm sure it's patched or not even a thing in d2r but I remember far casting thunderstrike zons were hated by people if u didn't know what u were doing atleast my cyclone druid wrecked anything biggest issue was honestly other top tier elemental druids that could reup their cyclone shield as quick as me also had bugged for dagger on my druid people that OH what a idiot no Hoto lmao yeah ill take the absurd amount of far anyday any other characters destroyed hdins I had to just be smart about Tele around spam 20 tornadoes in a matters of seconds etc. Lmao barbarians couldn't do anything idc if u were a 99 maxed barb and had the boost of a damn full blown warcry barb that would boost before some pvp battles it would just eat em up halfway into whirlwind they dead. My buddy with the FoH pally at the time was the one who had played the game since release I was only 13-15 when i did all the damage I did I'm 27 almost 28 now but he had basically spent years on perfecting his fist of heaveans paladin acquiring the tals bugged armor the bugged scepter that the foh pallys used (I'm doing this from memory lol 13 years later.) And this fool even had the 40 hp + character skill Grand charms I mean Perfect foh pally Nd my druid could take 2 full hits of FoH with his conviction aura on me before be even started to lose a touch of health. And he was just amazed hell when I look back I can't believe how well I played and I didn't have a special keyboard or any insane shit. I remember made one guy so mad couldn't even log in from my ip had to end up changing it that sore loosing fool haha good times hope this takes people back that played 13 years ago or so like myself.
Sounds like you had fun
@@GGMentor omg bro 3 day stretches lmao I remember making a perfect low level dueling warcry barb in under a day and then the farming and of course the having friend grush and getting to 90+ in one day and fully gearing a new character God did I lol the nostalgia when I just found out today about the resurrected I bout peeled the hell out lmao 🤣 for 40$ "Skurttttt!" Been so busy lately so I said hey possibly for my 28th in October I'll treat myself and join the Group again because redoing a masterpiece like d2 exactly the same is something I've wanted for years... but yes I got lucky at the time I was able to enjoy it we had bugged weapons all kinda stuff I can't wait to get an hdin going on resurrected when I get it! Then of course ele druid then a smiter to embarrass ubers lol im.getting ahead of myself lol but yeah man was a great time to be playing the game! The resurrected gameplay looks beautiful.. October need to tighten up or I might say hell.wid it and just grab after work..... hahaha take care and yall keep gaming this game is a legend dude...
with the belt and gloves/boots of Sigon's; you can clear the whole normal and nightmare. Sigon's belt is a kickass item.
I think that Civerb set deserves a place in honorable mention. Its 3 piece set Mace Shield and Amulet
The mace is useful the set is not, it's rather bad actually.
But the mace is often used by many characters leveling up for an easy scalable weapon.
@@GGMentor exactly. I am playing Barb only weapon mastery skill and I had luck to find early game in normal full Civerb. Actually I socketed and corrupted the mace and it's damage leveling up with me. I actually use it now on nightmare too but you can feel that on hell I will need better. My goal is Immortal King cuz I am playing mele only
@@GGMentor please if you have any suggestions on builds or skills please feel free to help me out
Is it possible to wear two complete sets at the same time? If so which ones?
I like griswald set on a foh build. Not as diverse as your north star pally, but for dueling non sorbed the foh with gris slaps.
I like sigon's head and armor on melee mercs in normal. I had them run across the whole normal with those two items and decent poking stick in hand without any issues multiple times ( on player 8 ).
I put Sigons in my top 3. Love using that set for leveling melee builds
Question, is it possible to use 3 part set with a fire wizard to have + to fire ball etx etc...
The plus to skills are O-Skills and to prevent exactly what you have in mind O-Skills we're capped at +3 on the native class.
@@GGMentor O-skills?
@@francootaola9172 down the rabbit hole we go.
O-Skills are skills granted to you by a piece or pieces of equipment.
They don't just allow you to use the skill, they grant the skill to you as if you own it and plus to skills effects the O-Skill.
Made a barb in d2 resurrected on ps4, he's level 13 right now, and I have cleglaws shield and gloves, sigons helm and belt, and isenharts sword and armour, it seems like a pretty great combination for him so far
Yea I’m rocking my bone spear necro On ladder. yep I use Trang’s to Prebuff with the armor and use the belt all the time and the only reason I don’t use the gloves is my fcr amulet and ring both rolled all res+cold but as soon as I get even a comparable ring or amulet with any other resistance then cold the mage fist is probably coming off for trangs gloves lol
Wonder if full faceted griswold holy shock pally with a sunder would do well
Yes it would do well actually
In an unrelated post, can you run 'grief' in a berserker axe?
I really luke using Guillaumes Face with the belt on my barb, the 5/5mana and life leech is great and the 2pc bonus grants 35 life and its w9rked amazing
I don't really agree with his take in regards to M'avina's set. It favors the Amazon's cold skills, but it also boosts everything else. Javelin skills get a 2 point boost while passive and bow skills get 5 or 6. It isn't detrimental to your amazon build unless you're already wearing gear specific to your amazon's skills.
How do you guys get this stuff? I work in a factory 10-12 hours a day and can’t play a lot. Do you seriously just have to sit at home and play video games all day to get this? Not being rude but do you have to run something 2000 times to get one thing?
Not really just have some magic find and play with friends.
Magic find makes the drop better and more people makes the drops more frequent
Isn’t the „great“ gris shield only for Palas? Thought that wasn‘t so good for Aldurs helmet? I get that it‘s still great, but not for every character
I rly like the Sound of your Voice. :)
well thank you mau
