loving your vids brother. This is THE way to play the game by the way. Not Hardcore necessarily (although the stakes are nice imo), but self-found, or at least honestly traded for. Tired of D2R content that assumes JSP trades or purchaes, as if everyone is just gonna find perfect windforces for their bow characters every season. Or dudes who speedrun to 99 with a group of 5 guys. Like sure, that's fine and all, go for it. But the videos you're doing are the experience of like 99% of D2 players. You actually show game play. You actually show the build with sub-optimal load outs performing. You actually show the character not just roflpwning everything in 1 hit because it has 20skiller charms and that the person making the video "definitely found" themselves. THIS is the D2 content the world needs.
Thank you! It's just the way I've mostly played and I just wondered why no one was doing videos like these. So I just decided to make them myself. Responses like these make it all worth it :)
Sorc suffers in many ways, like being a hyrbid alone is difficult and low damage but so many monsters can be 2x immune and some cases more like 3x immune, sorc doesn't need any nerfs
That Mephisto strat really takes me back. Learnt about that trick about a month after the original Diablo 2 release and made a Sorc just for farming Mephisto. she is now 23 years old but only level 90.
Oh yeah, she's been respeced several times over the years (Firewall did not age well), but still alive and kicking. Used her to farm up an Enigma a couple of years ago. I also have my launch day Zeal paladin, though he's not nearly as useful anymore. @@thenuclearrabbit
Holy shit that is insane. That is so cool. I can't even recall how many chars I've lost over the years, it's gotta be hundreds at this point. Please make sure they are backed up a fuckton of times. They could end up in a museum at some point
Wouldn't think so, as I said, they've been respeced and there's really nothing special about them just because I created them over 20 years ago. But don't worry, they're backed up and safe. @@thenuclearrabbit
Exactly! Rhyme, Spirit, Lore ... its all you need. Finally someone said it. :D I started on Ladder a few days ago. This time with Blizz Sorc. The first time i start with the Sorc. It is so damn easy man. Compared to last time with the Singer Barb first. ^^ I did some leveling on Eldritch in Normal, what you did in some Vids. I got a almost perfect Nagel from him. Awesome. But i almost died on Duriel Nightmare. Merc died instantly and i got Fat Fingers. Was really close man.
You also want stealth or smoke. But yeah that will easily clear the game. The hardest part of playing sorc is not pushing to hard. Gratz on the nagel. Act 3 nightmare is where the lootpiñata lives so all will be good!
You normally wouldn't. But you can. And on higher levels it knocks back 15.3 yards of monsters. Which is more than the entire screen. It's not a meta build cause the damage is low. But being able to knock back everything even beyond the screen is the best crowd control in the entire game, just use small hops and everything will always be stunlocked. You only need to use another skill for act bosses. Just hop past everything else
@@thenuclearrabbit I used a Leap Attack Barbarian through season 3, and I was able to SSF the game easily. Leap Attack is more than enough for boss killing, although it's slow. I was even able to kill Diablo Clone alone with some cheap gear and farm my own Annihilus.
They actually did nerf static field when LOD came out lol. In classic it doesn't have the cap of "33% max hp in NM; 50% hp in Hell", so it makes it pretty worth it to run heavy points into static field for the nova synergy and you can spam it to bring the whole screen down to like 50 hp 😂😂
@thenuclearrabbit hey quick question, in hc I’m having difficulty staying alive when trying to farm meph when getting to hell. Can u tell me a quick break down of where u farm moving from difficulty to difficulty? Thx again
Normal: rakanishu/ flayer jungle / ruined temple till lvl 25. Eldritch/pindle after that. I try to get andy/meph terror zones as well. Nightmare: andy, meph, chaos sanctuary, eldritch, pindle, terror zones. Hell: same For meph hell, make sure you have very good light and cold res. Don't bother otherwise. You can moat trick as well
I showed that you can just know what the terrorized zone is for lvl adequate farming but I didn't find anything so went ahead towards regular nightmare andarial. Farming andy nightmare at that point is pretty dangerous, terrorized andy normal gives a lot of the same drops and is a bit easier.
Too bad, but sure I totally comprehend the reason. Not everyone has the time to get a "Twitch star" today 😁 RL always comes first. Cheers! P.S.: are you dutch ? You sound a bit like a dutch guy ^^
I never find white monarch's. After a year of making these videos I've found 2. On my grail plugy account I was still short on monarch's after 3 years haha. *edit* after finding a zod on my pnb necro I tried farming till I got a monarch but ended up getting so high level that it just didn't matter anymore before finding one

Now I need to know why Leap is secretly op
It stuns EVERYTHING on the screen and beyond. You can very easily bunnyhop through the game
@@thenuclearrabbit That's cool, but isn't that with higher levels? Would you really wanna spend so many points into Leap?
You normally wouldn't. But you can. And on higher levels it knocks back 15.3 yards of monsters. Which is more than the entire screen. It's not a meta build cause the damage is low.

Oh yeah leap attack was good enough even in lod. From what I've heard it's only been buffed

I did not know that. Good to know when I play classic sorc sometime
Those boots are a sweet playthrough find!!!
Yeah those are really good I was very happy with them
Thank you for another good content video ❤
No problem, thank you for watching
Love ALL your D2 vids Rabbit :)
Thank you! Glad you like 'm
Love a Blizz sorc
It's a classic
Man, you are so funny haha. That's an IST ! hahah
Thx haha

Normal: rakanishu/ flayer jungle / ruined temple till lvl 25. Eldritch/pindle after that. I try to get andy/meph terror zones as well.
Nightmare: andy, meph, chaos sanctuary, eldritch, pindle, terror zones.
Hell: same
For meph hell, make sure you have very good light and cold res. Don't bother otherwise. You can moat trick as well
So one of the best skills in the game is blizzard. On a game published by a company called Blizzard. Touche...
Oh yeah they knew what they were doing for sure
Around 4:00 you mention andariel was terrorized, but why does that matter? You were still in NM?
I showed that you can just know what the terrorized zone is for lvl adequate farming but I didn't find anything so went ahead towards regular nightmare andarial. Farming andy nightmare at that point is pretty dangerous, terrorized andy normal gives a lot of the same drops and is a bit easier.
Do you have Twitch ? I would be a follower 😎🤘 nice content as always
Thank you but no I don't stream. Just don't have the time for it :)
Too bad, but sure I totally comprehend the reason. Not everyone has the time to get a "Twitch star" today 😁 RL always comes first. Cheers!
P.S.: are you dutch ? You sound a bit like a dutch guy ^^
Yeah between work and stuff choices have to be made.
I am dutch yes. I live in Arnhem
@@thenuclearrabbitnice. Greetings from Germany. Do you know Kleve ? Its my hometown. It's near Millingen in NL. :)
I've been there a bunch. It's not far from where I live at all
im coming over
Wrong chat?
well time to try blizz sorc :)
Good luck!
Hi everyone, I got a question. Do you do this builds on players 8? Players 1? Or any other player #?
I go players 8 when I want to lvl fast. So for blood moor, eldritch, pindle. I also go high player count till I hit lvl 25. The rest is players 1
@@thenuclearrabbit thanks man
Actually confused why you don't have spirit shield...
Takes a while to find a monarch
I never found a monarch. I've been farming a bunch with this sorc and still haven't found one lol
Yes, that
@WooliteMammoth I tend to luck out quite often with turning white gear into 4 socket lol and I personally find white monarchs pretty often
I never find white monarch's. After a year of making these videos I've found 2. On my grail plugy account I was still short on monarch's after 3 years haha.
*edit* after finding a zod on my pnb necro I tried farming till I got a monarch but ended up getting so high level that it just didn't matter anymore before finding one
Go throw barb ssf)
I already did throwbarb as part of the Ww run. I'll go throwbarb fully through at some point though :)
