[@bags9419]

Thanks bro. I’m back after 10 years.

[@andrewprater5308]

Nice. Same here, it’s been about 15 for me.

[@user-lg3pb1tv2u]

dude this is like quicksand. Last year i bought this game (when i was kid i like it) and i play it for 8 months and still enjoy it😂

[@murloc3051]

dont start as nova, its pointless to go through that pain with trash gear, u gonna be stuck on farming countess for a week. better to roll fire/cold sorc and do some mf runs, gear up a bit then go lightning.

[@bags9419]

@@murloc3051 ok bro thanks. I started with lightning and I’m struggling a bit in hell got the basic gear half Tal, shako, oc not bad mf but I get stuck at bosses with no cta and sprit yet.

[@murloc3051]

@@bags9419 yea nova is not a bossing skill, its good for cows/pits, arcane, arcane can get u gg drops but on p1 ghots drop rates aint the best. until u get infinity u dont have too much choice to farm. um also u can farm keysets, i dont know how ladder looks, probably botted as fuck, so u can find some good gear for close to free on jsp

[@CH6KCC]

Thanx Phil great video been looking for a good guide to transition my fire sorc to nova

[@joshuareitz3538]

Thanks for making a video about an actual budget build. I feel like I've seen some videos that think shako and a couple skillers is budget.

[@bivdog]

May be one of the best ladder starters for easy wealth. Teleport for your team, they will give you the caster gear right? Countess and arcane runs for runes, keys, gems. Eldritch and Shenk (pindle?). Also, do normal rushes for socket quests.

[@TastySouP-ic7kq]

@7:30 you can buy sharkskin belts from Farrah and elzix in nightmare act 2 with a bit of patience. Definitely worth it for the extra 8 potions early game. Cool break down though

[@layz_her2673]

Ty, sweet guide !

[@ickn2005]

Solid video. Thanks.

[@jandegroef3451]

Hey Phil awesome video!!! I wanna use this next ladder on hardcore. Or maybe thats not a good idea? xD

[@SweetPhil]

Hardcore, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't be my first choice. But I barely ever play HC.

[@DanielgunKim]

It gets dicey on hc, unless you have good gear or you farm in only safe areas. I would stick to blizzard until you get better gear. For example, in Chaos sanctuary, you will need to get close to Deseus and other strong mobs to dish out damage. If your res is lacking, it could be the end.

[@vicariousgames8264]

You're guide videos are fantastic, I think you could do any game and be successful!

[@norikoteiko3791]

Forgot Memory here +3 all skills + 3 energy shield just as swap in pre buff and only Lum Io Sol Eth and can even drop staffs with extra plus energy shield if you are lucky would allow to get more points into Telekinesis and have an even way more effective energy shield early on

[@ReallyLongURL]

3 all skill + 3 to es vs 4 with spirit, you miss out on 2 skill to es so..... you get 2% extra. not worth imho wasting a lum for 2% more.better to make a smoke.

[@norikoteiko3791]

@@ReallyLongURL wasteing a lum what else do you do with lums they Drops like Candy, dont forget that Viper is mandatory for fcr

[@stephenblack8698]

Can these items magic find hell? Ive got cery similar gear and have to farm nm.

[@MrLuffy9131]

Tz andy can be crazy sometimes and I got SOJ and arachnids mesh in one hour run lol but trying for a griffons next but it's not showing up

[@xlatheblackdragon705]

Wait I actually searched for this.. for a new start this is a very helpful video realistically

[@velkata_8bp]

Can we replace the Gauntlet with runeword one for better stats or smth?

[@tarheels100]

Gloves don't get sockets, so no rune words in that slot.

[@jankowalski1501]

important thing - if u start to use MF helmet early on, and u do not stop using it on Hell, u actually diminish ur chances to drop the base shield for Monarch. I am not D2 expert, just playing my first character after 20 years, but what I do is I run 0 MF till I collect all white bases I need (for mercenary too, giant tresher where are u....)

[@damiandunajski3071]

Eschuta 19% or Crescent Moon? What gives more ACTUAL damage overall?

[@Dragonphoenix25]

Crescent Moon by a wide margin! -Enemy Lightning Resistance gives you way more effective damage than +19% Lightning damage, moreso because when you max Lightning Mastery skill, your +%Lightning damage is already over 300%, so adding 19% more is a very small bump.

[@atmaant9534]

Please do a video on budget Zeal Sorc. You can showcase the endgame build but focus on how useful and powerful a budget melee sorc can be. Google zeal/bear sorc life build with maxroll. Yes its my build guide but I'm not trying to take credit, I don't need mention, I just never see videos about the build and so many people don't realize how easy and viable it is no dreams or infinity required.

[@joepark8753]

How’s this build in chaos and cows and killling meph? Or Shuld I stick to blizz

[@joeltowart8396]

Sucks as a boss farmer really, but demolishes random monster farming.

[@Menodude]

Is firewall sorc viable starter gear? Maybe as a cow farmer?

[@joeltowart8396]

Firewall is awesome for moat tricking mephisto, so absolutely yes it is. Chuck extra skill points into enchant for an act 5 merc to tank for you and you can smash Andy runs too

[@ollieshow]

Phil, you forgot Memory for the offhand! Memory is cheap to make so you can make it in a plain base while you look for a +3 ES base for endgame. I like it more than Call to Arms as a prebuff.

[@attractivegd9531]

Exact, memory is needed to hit lv 40 ES, if you have 90% absorb with ES the diff with 95% absorb is you get 2x more dmg, so the +skills are super important with it.

[@alagass6466]

So as a noob who doesn't know where's a good place to do trades.... Are there popular websites or forums to advertise trades or look for stuff?

[@bivdog]

Traderie and discord

[@crispyhoneybun1607]

Traderie is really good. Especially if you don’t know what anything is worth. You can always search for the item and see what other people are trading for it. For example, I had a titans and didn’t know what it was worth, so I searched and saw people asking for ist rune for theirs.

[@crispyhoneybun1607]

Also, perfect Amythest, Ral runes and Hel runes are great things to keep early on. You will see people asking for these things a lot on traderie. I think I saw someone asking for 5 or 10 P Amythest for like a Mal rune.

[@zachkoa]

phil, u the goat.

[@uniquedrone]

Right now I am just making budget nova sorc on SP. It was working fine, until act 4 hell. Lords have so much health that even with static field it takes ages to kill them with nova. So I respect to blizzard sorc and when I fnish game I will respect back to nova and start farming cows and countess as nova again.

[@Vanderlay77]

War travs are aslo an endgame option for sneakers

[@KeRmiTaKilla]

Destroyer of the nova variety

[@KeRmiTaKilla]

@luanbk91 just saying nova destroys in a weird way. I comment to support phil on all his videos. Just being goofy bud.

[@turbo_brian]

Once you find 3 flawless you could farm gem shrines in act 1 normal

[@overskill4646]

I must try

[@thestabbinhob0986]

Don't forget to pick up every yellow weapon for a chance at some Erep. Unlikely, but you never know.

[@threedawg]

No warmth?

[@rensei1986]

Hello there , I am mew to diablo 2 resurrected, I am playing non ladder multi-player, how can I increase hell difficulty to 3 players ++

[@andyk71]

Online , the player count is precisely how many people are in the same game. When you hear people say they play on players 1, 3, 5 or 7 , they are doing single player game, where you can have the option to directly decide how many "players" are playing to manipulate drops in a way. Hope that made sense 🙏 🙂

[@rensei1986]

Yeah thank you so much

[@wizrom3046]

If they are broke, with a ladder start character, you should really be telling people to farm nightmare with this sorc. Almost no lightning immunes, and the sorc can be more time efficient with much more total kills (and safety!) than in hell. For a broke character much of the good stuff you need will drop easy in nightmare especially things that really help lime mid level uniques/sets and CHARMS

[@Robin-ic7sy]

12:30 nice keys you found

[@razielospl]

eee i think Shako is budget helm :D

[@ReallyLongURL]

flawless+ stony filed gem shrine = P top easy

[@mikemurray3962]

Can someone explain keys to me real quick? I have a bunch of keys of terror I think.

[@joeltowart8396]

Farmed in hell mode only, you'll find keys of terror from the countess under the black marsh in the forgotten tower, keys of hate from the summoner found in the arcane sanctuary in act 2 and lastly and most difficultly in act 5 you'll find keys of destruction from niahlathak in the halls of vought (enter from town after saving anya). Combine 1 of each different key in the cube while in act 5 town to open a portal to a super hard zone with a mini boss at the end, who will drop an organ (gruesomely). Complete all 3 of these mini bosses then cube the 3 organs to face the games ultimate challenge, the Ubers. These are all 3 prime evils at once but way stronger. They are impossible to kill with some builds or characters, so check out some guide videos first before you spend your keys. And good luck! It's fun as and the reward for killing them is unreal

[@mikemurray3962]

@@joeltowart8396 thanks you explained it well. I definately do not have the gear to even attempt this lol. I'm looking for sunder charms and facets and will probably respec into a build that utilizes whatever I find. I do have a fire sunder atm.

[@turbo_brian]

Occy, magefist, viper magi, shako, spirit, alders, any sorc build can clear everything. There's your budget build. Lol

[@NZNeiko]

Budget nova just feels so weak, even with a -21 +19 lightning res/dmg helmet and crescent moon, act 1 and arcane sanctuary is the only place with decent clear time on players 1

[@attractivegd9531]

Clearly this video shows you dont play hardcore (I know you don't it's not a rant) because 1% more absorb on ES is a huge deal, from 94% to 95% you get 20% less dmg received.

[@Novakan]

Explain how 1% equals 20%

[@attractivegd9531]

@@Novakan 5 x 1.2 = 6

[@Novakan]

@attractivegd9531 I'm still not seeing how another 1% of damage reduction reduces damage by 20%.

[@attractivegd9531]

@@Novakan 94 = 6% dmg taken, 95 = 5% dmg taken, net dmg reduce gain = 20%

[@TinshikuNurushii]

​​​@@Novakan Let's say without gear, other skills, or anything else that reduces damage (since energy shield doesn't get any reduction besides telekinesis), you take 2000 damage. Energy shield at 94% would reduce that to 120 damage taken to health. At 95%, it would reduce it to 100 damage taken. That 20 damage gap could be enough to live or die, and might be easier to mitigate with flat based reduced damage numbers instead of % based. (120 is 20% more than 100, that's where the 1% is 20% is coming from)

[@KYLEROBZ1]

Play through the game wiv no help with this budget build, 95% people gona regret respecing without atleast a sunder trust
