Can you please make a video about the pros and cons of enabling stashes for vanilla characters in Diablo 2: Resurrected because someone needs to explain it in a rational way. I keep hearing the same bs response over and over: "That's just the way it is." Yeah, that isn't an explanation. It's a poor excuse and lacks any real thought or intelligence when saying something so utterly stupid and irrelevant. Anyways, if you can help vanilla players out we'd really appreciate it. KC
It’s been fun to follow your progression and compare. I have a crap Amazon torch on my hammerdin for stats/res but last night I found my Jah rune and made Enigma. Man this game is stupidly fun still.
@@Dbrunski125 People can be hyper critical sometimes, when they have no idea what goes into making a video lol. Don't take it to heart, you make incredible content bro
Personal loot would annihilate the economy. Yeah, it sucks to see somebody else clickfest away shit from under your nose, but the value of items is in a very delicate balance in D2. "The chase is better than the catch" rings the truest for this game. Once you have perfect everything, there's no real reason to play. Playing D2 for PvP is like stuffing your junk in the blender for pleasure. You want the unidentified unique ring on the ground more than the one in your inventory.
Couldn’t agree more. Personal loot is not needed in multiplayer. You want personal loot, play single player. Problem solved. LAN/IP for single player is really what is needed.
Good point. I still think the click fest is pure trash. Even David Brevik said if he could change 3 things (on his twitch stream) it would be no stamina bar, auto gold pick up, and time instanced loot. I just really don't see how p loot on diablo and baal would destroy the economy. Everyone does meph andariel and at to gear up early on. Its not like randoms can farm baal runs early on. The only people doing diablo or baal runs early on are coordinated groups that are working together and sharing loot anyways. Idk I just really think the click fest is trash on Diablo and Baal. But I agree item / trade balance is delicate.
I started to farm council before killing Meph after watching your stream.. Meph dropped a Ber for me (1 in 50K chance or something crazy) then next day council dropped another Ber. Just need a good base and infinity is mine for the very first time! Keep up the good work. Cheers mate!
It's not even Rando's, we have a friend who plays a Barbarian who will just sit in on our game let the casters kill the boss and then he's already standing on the boss and Hoover Vaccuum's that shit up... and is like... nah nothing worth anything... like whatever dude.
It def happens on console. Played on there and you don’t even see the names before they’re gone. It allows looting while it’s in the air and it’s like an auto pickup bc it’s just pressing A or X instead of having to click on the items name. I only do runs with ppl for xp. I don’t even worry about the loot and pretend it’s more low level crap since you don’t even see it so it’s easy to ignore

You want to know something cheap and OP for your charm ? Pure Gems ...why did you think peoples sell or buy them a lot ? Because it's the key for skill charm.
Have you done public Baal runs in the past 20 years DB? It's always been a click fest. Personal loot and having 8x the loot for bosses would bring way to much gear in the game.
@@Dbrunski125 I mean the way you talk sounds like it's the first time you've experienced public Baal in a hot minute. For regular people like us it's all we have maybe with a friend or two. But when chaos and Baal are the majority of being grinded I literally do not understand how you can't see personal loot being a giant fucking train wreck. Next thing it will be is. Well we got personal loot for just these two bosses... Why these two? Do them all.
I like just mfing somewhere else. Also, I tested it out, I get more exp running ancient tunnels solo than I do going along with the baal run and splitting all the exp with everyone.
Could you use Shaco+HOTO instead of full tals? How comparable would it be? I've been playing Meteorb since nightmare (Currently lvl 90) but I am rather clueless of gear path or when I should change specs.
Shako + Occy with 3 Piece tals is a great alternative and gives quite a bit of MF but anything over 350 isn't too much of a difference due to diminishing returns on magic find.
@@i_am_ergo for magic items, sure but stating this is false is definitely giving misinformation. Look up the magic find diminishing returns graphs or use the drop calculator. Just as an example; Hell Andy @ 350 MF has a 1:742 chance of dropping a Shako. Add 150 MF @ 500 MF it's 1:683 and and 100 more @ 600 MF it's only 1:660. Most characters pushing 600 MF are sacrificing certain aspects that allow them to clear content faster such as +skills, faster caster rate, or resists. (with certain exceptions of course such as target farming certain bosses, some GG gear, etc) Finding a balance between MF and clear speed is difficult but personally, I'd rather grab a FCR ring and gloves to get to the next breakpoint or use a SOJ instead of a Nagel for the mana pool and the +skills rather than increasing my odds by %0.016. My sorc for example has %470 MF and I use magefists + a FCR/Resist/Mana ring. I could swap those out for another %70 MF if I wanted but just isn't worth it IMO to drop below that FCR breakpoint. This is only magnified when it comes to a limited selection of gear with early game builds pre enigma, killers, MF scs, or things like 3 piece tals. You may not personally but many people definitely overestimate magic find by a large margin. TLDR; Efficieny > Small to medium amounts of MF.
Any suggestions on how to beat the game as a blizzard sorc with a gimp Merc? Lol I've been trying to get past the cold immune in the throne room but get destroyed. Guess I need to keep farming better gear for my Merc?
Personal loot is vexing, I am fairly certain that people are already using mod auto pick to yoink drops. On the flip side when people are not using mods struggling to get the drops is also kinda fun an additional rush when you manage to get that sick drop. So Idk what should be done /shrug
I looked into auto pick up mods and the situation is worse than I thought, on top of using mods some people are using turbo controllers with loot button set to turbo and vacuum all loot with no chance for people without mods or turbo.
Ya there are cheater already on baal run. You sometimes can't even see the item dropping. TBH, I don't care because baal run is for XP. If you want drop you play solo.
I’m trying to find out if a blizz sorc without CTA, infinity on merc, or fully decked out charms on inventory even works well… I tried blizz sorc before re-spec and just died instantly and didn’t do quite enough dmg… I had full tal with chancies and some rare MF boots with res
Hi Dbrunksi. How did you find the tal rasha's amulet ? I'm struggling a little bit to find it (more than 4 months inside PlugY. I also don't know if the drop rate has changed in ressucted, so please forget this if its not applicable).
I don't think they officially confirmed it but it might be that D2R has better rates. Some say they give better rates to streamers idk. I know there is a site where you can check how to MF for specific items. It also depends on character and build
I‘m 100% with you on personal loot from bosses. I mainly mf solo because of thr weird dynamics in the boss fight…people stopped to put out dmg just to be ready to snatch any good loot, not really my thing tbh. If they don‘t implement personal loot that‘s fine but then I will only group mf with close friends and not in public games I guess
Find a decent base for insight, thresher or colossus voulge (of Merc has enough str), treachery for armor and a tals mask for life leach makes for a pretty solid and very affordable Merc that can help out with immunities.
@@schizer it's highest rune is a Lem. In d2 that is pretty darn cheap. If that's too pricy for shaftstop is a good alternative that will make for a fairly tanky Merc.
i think personal loot from only the big bosses throughout the game would be ok. it wouldnt be the whole games worth of items being multiplied and randomized, which would ruin the games trade economy i think
I think you're confusing "timed personal loot" and "permanent personal loot" here. The former would drop all of the same items as normal but assign the item to a player for a set time before opening to all players. The latter is instanced loot for all players and would effectively increase the amount of items dropped per monster if shared/traded. The only impact timed loot on efficiency is the seconds it takes to wait for a drop not assigned to you to become available for pickup if they owner skips it.
"I was originally against an idea that did not affect me since I prefer to play solo, but now that I have tried out multiplayer and been affected by it, I have changed my opinion." 2021 everybody.
He changed his opinion about something. How is that a bad thing? People who cling on to their beliefs even when they stare disaster in the eyes are the most destructive people on the planet. If that is the alternative, I'll take 2021 any day.
You can't click fast enough for the good gear from the hard bosses on players 8 and you don't Wana play solo anymore so let's super inflate the economy by making private loot. Makes sense...go back to single player before you ruin the game with your TH-cam influence. What's next asking for BoE and BoP like WoW? Gtfo
Personal loot still sucks. If it existed, you could just do Baal runs with 8 random players in a random lobby all day long and you would get both the most XP and the best items (since Baal can drop literally every high-lvl unique). The fact that you know you'll probably not get the dropped loot turns Baal runs into what they're supposed to be - XP runs. If you want to make sure you get all the loot, do solo MF runs. That way you obviously won't get as much XP, but you'll get all the loot. This is the trade you make. Lots of XP, probably no items or only very few. This is how it's supposed to be, otherwise Baal runs would become extremely op.
It would make it too easy to just run the bosses with a full party and get your own loot... I was kind of on the fence about this but I dont want it now. If you cant solo baal at hell for example, its kind of unfair that a low level character will get their own loot when you just sit back and dont do anything.
That is a really good point. But also its just as trash having a group of 8 people doing baal with a weak ass char that again can't do baal that runs up to baal on his last sliver of life and grabs the tals armor that drops. You make a very good point but honestly both seem just as bad lol.
@@Dbrunski125 Its gonna be hard to find a common ground on this and I agree 🤣 If they do have a choice though, id say to leave it the way it is. I understand that max players will give better drops, but if you do public baal runs, unless you control who is in your games, you have to understand you wont be able to keep people from getting drops. If the loot is so important for that player, then run solo or have a group of people that agree not to take loot in exchange for runs etc.
@@Dbrunski125 another would be how easily farmable Baal drops would become with a party of 8 friends getting 8 sets of Baal loot per run. There are pros and cons to that too with rare things being less rare but also a bit less special.
My preference would be for personal drops for specific things like boss loot or runes. Public games are terrible because of the loot grab. If you are far from the servers (like 150-200 ms ping, the loot is gone before you have a chance to even glance at the lablels.
Personal drops will only work if they significantly lower the base drop chance when playing in a group. Otherwise if you kill Baal in an 8 player group and he drops 8 players worth of Baal loot you'll have massive item inflation and in short order the trade economy is completely fucked and even the rarest items are trading for mid runes.
There should be full, unlimited-time personal loot. Which only frees when the 'owner' of the loot leaves that area. It just makes the game so much more relaxed and fun to play with others.
How does your game load so fast when traveling to an another act through wp? If I go to a5, the game loads 3-5 seconds before spawning me there. Some acts load faster but a5 takes forever when you're trying to farm quickly
@@Terminatedd dont waste your money on a m.2 hdd just for d2r - i have one and the loading screens differ a lot from 1 sec to 5. like mrLlamaSc mentionend: it's a bug which is new since d2r. try to click and run your char while loading screen is still showing - my char runs several meters already before loading screen disappears. so basically the game is ready, but loading screen is showing longer than it needs to.
If you use an Um'd Tal's mask and Um'd Guardian angel, your Merc should be max 95 res but still have life leech right? Assuming you're using Infinity or a diff weapon without life leech
I'm just worried since they used old code that picket and other things can and will be used and can't a controller already out pick up a mouse. I haven't made up my mind yet either about personal loot but I already don't miss fighting everyone for loot
can you make a video of how to do solo baal runs with all those immunes? I have same tal gear but none of those charms or cta. thats all i can afford. I can only solo do meph and andy and takes double the time it takes you to kill them. i do about 3.6 k blizz only. light res is the only one thats maxed
Hi there, I see you talk about good circlets. I picked one up that is +2 fire, 30str, 30 life, 17 ar, damage reduced by 3. How would I go about valuing this? Thanks
Honestly I went Hybrid for this reason. Some stuff takes a little bit longer, but I’m literally running the same gear as DB. Only difference is Meteorb build instead of blizz. More fun and easier to play on console. It’s pretty much a Frozen Orb/Fire Ball build but i can do all the everything in hell. Definitely get a treachery on your Merc, it’s a game changer.
Cows, Chaos Sanctuary, Lower Kurast, Trav, Eldritch/Shenk, Countess, Arcane Sanctum, Worldstone Keep are some of the best places. You need to kill a lot of monsters so high density is great. Finger mages, wraiths, souls, vultures have higher rune drop chances than other monsters.
Hey Dbrunski, how's your game though? in regards to how many crashes people have these days. Do you have crashes aswell? Have you done anything about it? Any tips? Cheers
since the queue has started, I only crashed once and my pc is crap. Most of the time, my game is ok. I do not speed run everything. And my queue times is quite long tho, 30 mins on average. I'll just watch some YT vids along the way while waiting
Hi sir, I am not sure if my Fury Druid can do the Uber with BOTD (Zerker Axe) + stormshield, I already have Fortitude, Dracul's Grasp, Goblin Toe (Gore Rider)... I have low lightning resistance (196% without Fade). Can you give me some advice?
@@seahawks2369 sorry but BOTD can not do Uber? I repaired all my gears without trade up with the others... I just wanna take advantage of these available items...
@@tuanhuynguyen742 BOTD can do ubers, just takes a lot longer than using a Grief would. I wouldn't use anything other than a Grief on my Fury Druid for Ubers, but I also play Hardcore, so I don't have that safety net if I die.
it's no problem. i am by no means as well geared as dbrunski and still can farm chaos easily. only thing is, u need to babysit your merc a little depending on his gear so he can kill the cold immunes for u
I’ve had the same experience as ph1f1 gotta be careful if you get amp damaged but your Merc can kill the oblivion knights and lord de seis. You can teleport onto them and static if they aren’t lightning immune and he’ll kill them, helps to have a good weapon for him though.
Had a ber drop in cows right next to me saw it as I was moving to next pack started running back rather then tele back to it and just missed it by a millisecond... ohh I kicked myself for it for hours :(
For rune drops you want to kill as much stuff as quickly as possible because runes are not affected by magic find. I'm pretty sure the ghosts in act 2 arcane sanctuary have higher rune drop rates though. You have to kill them over the land though
I am still not a fan of personal loot tbh. If it existed, you could just do Baal runs with 8 random players in a random lobby all day long and you would get both the most XP and the best items (since Baal can drop literally every high-lvl unique). The fact that you know you'll probably not get the dropped loot turns Baal runs into what they're supposed to be - XP runs. If you want to make sure you get all the loot, do solo MF runs.

This is how it's supposed to be, otherwise Baal runs would become extremely op. You can still do Baal runs with friends / people you trust and can get tons of XP and potentially good items, but not in random lobbies.
Please BLizzard make Bossloot personal. It would increase the server performance enormously. I think the only reason why we all do runs on our own is the lootsystem...
@@Shipley002 thats not true dude... blizzard said the reason why the server performance is that bad is becuase everybody is making new games every 2 minutes because of the solo mf runs...
I can't play that much since I have a small child at home. But I recently found Ber. I'm kinda poor, have shako, dual spirit, arachnid and Tal armor is the only stiff of value. Should I trade Ber to get more gear or save Ber for a infinity??
2nd week in I found a ber and traded for entire tals set. Was so worth it. Have found so much more gear and stuff bc of trading for that tals set. Just go for what you need now. If you don't the ber is going to sit and just do nothing in your stash.
I would say most people probably level through Normal/Nightmare with Fireball because of the Leaf runeword, then swap over to Frozen orb in Hell while still keeping some points in fire (either meteor/fireball) to deal with immunes until you have the merc gear to let him deal with them on his own while you go straight single element (generally blizz).
@@Joshua-uq9zw This isn’t very good advice for the question at hand. Blizzard is fantastic when you have the mana pool to sustain it (or at least Insight on your merc) but for a first play through of hell it probably isn’t a good build suggestion.
found mine and tal armor on mephisto. the orb on andys. somebody kept telling me mephisto never drops lacquared plates but i got mine off him. first time ever to complete my tal set

But when chaos and Baal are the majority of being grinded I literally do not understand how you can't see personal loot being a giant fucking train wreck. Next thing it will be is. Well we got personal loot for just these two bosses... Why these two? Do them all.
@@Dbrunski125 I would be ok with it if it dropped at players 1 drop rates.
I like just mfing somewhere else. Also, I tested it out, I get more exp running ancient tunnels solo than I do going along with the baal run and splitting all the exp with everyone.
Could you use Shaco+HOTO instead of full tals? How comparable would it be?
I've been playing Meteorb since nightmare (Currently lvl 90) but I am rather clueless of gear path or when I should change specs.
Shako + Occy with 3 Piece tals is a great alternative and gives quite a bit of MF but anything over 350 isn't too much of a difference due to diminishing returns on magic find.
@@Skovos Wrong. The number 350 is as arbitrary as they come. The difference is still very noticeable well into 600s.
@@i_am_ergo for magic items, sure but stating this is false is definitely giving misinformation. Look up the magic find diminishing returns graphs or use the drop calculator.
Just as an example; Hell Andy @ 350 MF has a 1:742 chance of dropping a Shako. Add 150 MF @ 500 MF it's 1:683 and and 100 more @ 600 MF it's only 1:660. Most characters pushing 600 MF are sacrificing certain aspects that allow them to clear content faster such as +skills, faster caster rate, or resists. (with certain exceptions of course such as target farming certain bosses, some GG gear, etc)
Finding a balance between MF and clear speed is difficult but personally, I'd rather grab a FCR ring and gloves to get to the next breakpoint or use a SOJ instead of a Nagel for the mana pool and the +skills rather than increasing my odds by %0.016. My sorc for example has %470 MF and I use magefists + a FCR/Resist/Mana ring. I could swap those out for another %70 MF if I wanted but just isn't worth it IMO to drop below that FCR breakpoint.
This is only magnified when it comes to a limited selection of gear with early game builds pre enigma, killers, MF scs, or things like 3 piece tals. You may not personally but many people definitely overestimate magic find by a large margin.
TLDR; Efficieny > Small to medium amounts of MF.
That public Shako drop gets me everytime xD Good job with the guides and everything Dbrunski125!
Any suggestions on how to beat the game as a blizzard sorc with a gimp Merc? Lol I've been trying to get past the cold immune in the throne room but get destroyed. Guess I need to keep farming better gear for my Merc?
Lure all the mages south of throne room and either teleport away so they won’t chase you or let merc kill them.
Hey D any thoughts on trying out a HC ladder in the future?
Do you still plan on using Phoenix on your eventual fire build?
Where do i get those animated Backrounds?
Personal loot is vexing, I am fairly certain that people are already using mod auto pick to yoink drops. On the flip side when people are not using mods struggling to get the drops is also kinda fun an additional rush when you manage to get that sick drop. So Idk what should be done /shrug
I looked into auto pick up mods and the situation is worse than I thought, on top of using mods some people are using turbo controllers with loot button set to turbo and vacuum all loot with no chance for people without mods or turbo.
@@jessejones7468 Blizz should come down hard on cheaters, unless we want to trade in tens of hrs like it used to be.
Ya there are cheater already on baal run. You sometimes can't even see the item dropping. TBH, I don't care because baal run is for XP. If you want drop you play solo.
For hc still go max block if you have ss?
@Dbrunski125 Frozen orb has synergy with ice bolt not ice blast or am I wrong?
Make /playersX command be available when playing solo in battenet. When a friend joins your game, the command will be disregarded.
Is there any market for fire skiller? I found one and not sure what it is worth :D
Hey man, what is your post patch 2.4 post infinity respec? I just made my first infinity and was wondering about the respec? Thanks!
I’m trying to find out if a blizz sorc without CTA, infinity on merc, or fully decked out charms on inventory even works well… I tried blizz sorc before re-spec and just died instantly and didn’t do quite enough dmg… I had full tal with chancies and some rare MF boots with res
Hi Dbrunksi. How did you find the tal rasha's amulet ? I'm struggling a little bit to find it (more than 4 months inside PlugY. I also don't know if the drop rate has changed in ressucted, so please forget this if its not applicable).
I don't think they officially confirmed it but it might be that D2R has better rates.
Some say they give better rates to streamers idk.
I know there is a site where you can check how to MF for specific items.
It also depends on character and build
I‘m 100% with you on personal loot from bosses. I mainly mf solo because of thr weird dynamics in the boss fight…people stopped to put out dmg just to be ready to snatch any good loot, not really my thing tbh.
If they don‘t implement personal loot that‘s fine but then I will only group mf with close friends and not in public games I guess
how high do you have to have your cold damage to kill cold imunes, iv seen vids on it but no one explains it
Where did you get Ani from?
Love your videos! How do you deal with cold immunity?
Love the videos I don't have cta yet do you think the Merc setup is viable without it?
What build do you recommend for those of us with less than stellar gear? The cold immunes out there are wrecking my day.
your merc should be able to handle them with the help of static
Find a decent base for insight, thresher or colossus voulge (of Merc has enough str), treachery for armor and a tals mask for life leach makes for a pretty solid and very affordable Merc that can help out with immunities.
@@brendandavidson6120 treachery is in no way cheap for players to just have one
@@schizer it's highest rune is a Lem. In d2 that is pretty darn cheap. If that's too pricy for shaftstop is a good alternative that will make for a fairly tanky Merc.
Did you do trades or get the gear yourself?
Can you do a video on what you keep in your stash and mule accounts and your plans for the items?
Isnt it that cold mastery aint work after lvl 17? so all the points put above it are just wasted?
Do you play on battlenet or singleplayer?
How did you got your anni?
Can you farm Nihlathak well?
are you farming your charms or rolling them ?
i think personal loot from only the big bosses throughout the game would be ok. it wouldnt be the whole games worth of items being multiplied and randomized, which would ruin the games trade economy i think
I think you're confusing "timed personal loot" and "permanent personal loot" here. The former would drop all of the same items as normal but assign the item to a player for a set time before opening to all players. The latter is instanced loot for all players and would effectively increase the amount of items dropped per monster if shared/traded. The only impact timed loot on efficiency is the seconds it takes to wait for a drop not assigned to you to become available for pickup if they owner skips it.
Where did you drop LO?
Is infinity that good for blizz sorc?
"I was originally against an idea that did not affect me since I prefer to play solo, but now that I have tried out multiplayer and been affected by it, I have changed my opinion." 2021 everybody.
He changed his opinion about something. How is that a bad thing? People who cling on to their beliefs even when they stare disaster in the eyes are the most destructive people on the planet. If that is the alternative, I'll take 2021 any day.
You can't click fast enough for the good gear from the hard bosses on players 8 and you don't Wana play solo anymore so let's super inflate the economy by making private loot. Makes sense...go back to single player before you ruin the game with your TH-cam influence. What's next asking for BoE and BoP like WoW? Gtfo
Personal loot still sucks.
If it existed, you could just do Baal runs with 8 random players in a random lobby all day long and you would get both the most XP and the best items
(since Baal can drop literally every high-lvl unique). The fact that you know you'll probably not get the dropped loot turns Baal runs into what they're supposed to be - XP runs.
If you want to make sure you get all the loot, do solo MF runs. That way you obviously won't get as much XP, but you'll get all the loot.
This is the trade you make. Lots of XP, probably no items or only very few. This is how it's supposed to be, otherwise Baal runs would become extremely op.
I normally do solo bnet mfing. Where do you suggest finding all those skillers? That’s on my lost of things to farm pretty soon.
I play offline and found skillers in LK and Cows. Also I rerolled Diablo gcs and got some.
It would make it too easy to just run the bosses with a full party and get your own loot... I was kind of on the fence about this but I dont want it now. If you cant solo baal at hell for example, its kind of unfair that a low level character will get their own loot when you just sit back and dont do anything.
That is a really good point. But also its just as trash having a group of 8 people doing baal with a weak ass char that again can't do baal that runs up to baal on his last sliver of life and grabs the tals armor that drops. You make a very good point but honestly both seem just as bad lol.
@@Dbrunski125 agreed. There's negatives and positives. Just make personal loot optional! Just gotta decide if its game based or person based.
@@Dbrunski125 Its gonna be hard to find a common ground on this and I agree 🤣 If they do have a choice though, id say to leave it the way it is. I understand that max players will give better drops, but if you do public baal runs, unless you control who is in your games, you have to understand you wont be able to keep people from getting drops. If the loot is so important for that player, then run solo or have a group of people that agree not to take loot in exchange for runs etc.
@@Dbrunski125 another would be how easily farmable Baal drops would become with a party of 8 friends getting 8 sets of Baal loot per run. There are pros and cons to that too with rare things being less rare but also a bit less special.
@@VFPro_ good luck enforcing that no offense lol
Can you do UBRS on your cold sorc setup? Love the spec!
No, it's virtually impossible to do ubers on any purely elemental build.
My preference would be for personal drops for specific things like boss loot or runes. Public games are terrible because of the loot grab. If you are far from the servers (like 150-200 ms ping, the loot is gone before you have a chance to even glance at the lablels.
Personal drops will only work if they significantly lower the base drop chance when playing in a group. Otherwise if you kill Baal in an 8 player group and he drops 8 players worth of Baal loot you'll have massive item inflation and in short order the trade economy is completely fucked and even the rarest items are trading for mid runes.

Where is the best place to farm tal armor ?
As blizz Sorc, how do you handle all the cold immune monsters starting from act 1 in hell?
Static them down, then merc finishes them off
Of course with the help of his friends 🤣 for leveling
There should be full, unlimited-time personal loot. Which only frees when the 'owner' of the loot leaves that area.
It just makes the game so much more relaxed and fun to play with others.
How does your game load so fast when traveling to an another act through wp?
If I go to a5, the game loads 3-5 seconds before spawning me there.
Some acts load faster but a5 takes forever when you're trying to farm quickly
M.2 hard drive.
@@i_am_ergo I have the game on my SSD, but it's a cheap one from 2018. Maybe it's time to upgrade..
@@Terminatedd dont waste your money on a m.2 hdd just for d2r - i have one and the loading screens differ a lot from 1 sec to 5.
like mrLlamaSc mentionend: it's a bug which is new since d2r. try to click and run your char while loading screen is still showing - my char runs several meters already before loading screen disappears. so basically the game is ready, but loading screen is showing longer than it needs to.

Could you max frozen orb and use that as your left click instead of ice blast? Not sure how the math works out.
No, blizzard and frozen orb share the same cooldown or something like that..and you do not have enough skillpoints to max all of it.
Would a 3 set tal item + energy shield build blizzard be viable?
how u got anni ? 100 sojs ?
Which offensive merc is that? From Hell? greetings :)
If you use an Um'd Tal's mask and Um'd Guardian angel, your Merc should be max 95 res but still have life leech right? Assuming you're using Infinity or a diff weapon without life leech
I don't remember, but does magic find affect rune drops?
No.

another thing is if you did your quest in act 2 venders sail at discounted rate always gamble in act 2
I'm just worried since they used old code that picket and other things can and will be used and can't a controller already out pick up a mouse. I haven't made up my mind yet either about personal loot but I already don't miss fighting everyone for loot

can you make a video of how to do solo baal runs with all those immunes? I have same tal gear but none of those charms or cta. thats all i can afford.

LlamaSc has one with all the technical stuff. Not to take views away from Dbrunsky.
how does one deal with cold immune in hell? My merc isn't tough enough yet, and i'm having a hard go with a cold only sorc. help?
Honestly I went Hybrid for this reason. Some stuff takes a little bit longer, but I’m literally running the same gear as DB. Only difference is Meteorb build instead of blizz.
More fun and easier to play on console. It’s pretty much a Frozen Orb/Fire Ball build but i can do all the everything in hell. Definitely get a treachery on your Merc, it’s a game changer.
What's the best thing to run for runes? I am running Lower Kurast, trav, meph and pindleskin on repeat... No luck! Should I be doing Countess?
Cows, Chaos Sanctuary, Lower Kurast, Trav, Eldritch/Shenk, Countess, Arcane Sanctum, Worldstone Keep are some of the best places. You need to kill a lot of monsters so high density is great. Finger mages, wraiths, souls, vultures have higher rune drop chances than other monsters.
how did you get so many + skill grand charms

it's no problem. i am by no means as well geared as dbrunski and still can farm chaos easily. only thing is, u need to babysit your merc a little depending on his gear so he can kill the cold immunes for u
I’ve had the same experience as ph1f1 gotta be careful if you get amp damaged but your Merc can kill the oblivion knights and lord de seis. You can teleport onto them and static if they aren’t lightning immune and he’ll kill them, helps to have a good weapon for him though.

For rune drops you want to kill as much stuff as quickly as possible because runes are not affected by magic find. I'm pretty sure the ghosts in act 2 arcane sanctuary have higher rune drop rates though. You have to kill them over the land though

What is the best build for a sorcerer to solo her way through hell for the first time? playing HC btw and lvl 67 atm
I would say most people probably level through Normal/Nightmare with Fireball because of the Leaf runeword, then swap over to Frozen orb in Hell while still keeping some points in fire (either meteor/fireball) to deal with immunes until you have the merc gear to let him deal with them on his own while you go straight single element (generally blizz).
Frozen Orb and Fireorb did it for me. The Ancestors were still too hard to solo for me as I ran out of trinkets everytime.
Frozen orb and firewall is pretty potent.
Blizzard is just the strongest spell, bar none. Go blizzard with 1 point in warmt, tele, static etc. Else max blizzard and the synergies
@@Joshua-uq9zw This isn’t very good advice for the question at hand. Blizzard is fantastic when you have the mana pool to sustain it (or at least Insight on your merc) but for a first play through of hell it probably isn’t a good build suggestion.
