@@davesafish yes his jokes land really well. I think it’s the partially accent and the delivery. He doesnt skip a beat, just sneaks in a good one liner then moves right along.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1191">19:51</a> ‘every single time I shout I let it all out’ the Tears for Fears reference caught me off guard, I love the different jokes you sneak into your videos!

Thank you :)

[@dr_dusk_phd8957]

Amazing video. Loved the edit commentary too. You somehow make watching the same game I’ve seen beaten time and again, always interesting. Super glad your 1v1 vs the Loot Goblin introduces me to your stuff!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you! I'm glad you like the video's :) Yeah mr loot goblin is good people for sure :D I'd happily 1v1 him again

[@BlackMercy-it1jp]

"Ber runes are trash" is a sentence I thought I would never hear. Awesome video btw and you have inspired me to make a P8 no vitality Summoner Necro (not a hardcore one though as that is pure insanity)

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you! Good luck on your no vita summoner :D It isn't insane, just make sure your life total doesn't get to 0, it's super easy :p

[@murphvienna1]

RNG and a good adaption rate in gear made this wonderful to watch! When I read the title I thought NO F_ING WAY. Yet here were are. Good job, like properly good job.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you :D

[@gerretoutdoors3710]

Great video. Amazing how much replay value D2 has. I have thousands of hours into that game on battle net servers chasing those almighty SOJ and perfect Cruel Colossus. But, I get the feeling you have me beat in total gameplay time by alot. Thanks for the cool videos guy.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I'm somewhere around 17-18k hours of playtime. I haven't been on battlenet except for a couple of party runs in decades. It's all hardcore ssf.

[@Jak_To_Mozliwe]

Friendly RNG this run. Also "50 shades of death" made my day. I love your puns!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

No Punishment in these puns! :D

[@Lanstat]

Dude your videos make my day and are absolutely perfect. Your funny references & comments add A TON to the video imo.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@margusmadalik1931]

GZ, you finished the game with a meme build. Here are some fun ideas to watch you struggle with: distribute the skill points evenly that means that you cant add a lets say 26th point to a stat unless all the other ones are at lvl 25 also. And the second one would be beating the game with skill points only from one talent tree. Last one would be a run with no merc, because we all see you are using him only for insight and as a meatshield. Gl and keep up the good work!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Singer is probably the best barb build. Safest for sure. I definitely wouldn't call it a meme build. I've done single tree only runs before I think. I'm not even sure. If I haven't I'll get to them eventually cause I've been asked to do them a bunch. No merc run is just classic. Evenly divided skilltree has also been requested a bunch. It's on my list for sometime in the future.

[@NatiiixLP]

Seeing barbarian, of all the classes, with significantly more mana than life feels wrong.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

But it played so smooth, honestly if this was wrong I don't know what was right.

[@bergslays338]

I have binge watched every video on your channel. Good stuff!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you! I'm glad you like the content :D

[@yanliechocki]

Man, this BER could have been a LO, because of the FCR and Life from Fortitude. Great run, in the middle of the video I noticed that you had forgotten about Taunt.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah Lo is a much better find in a SSF run. Thank you!

[@Deathwish708]

Me myself never went into act5 hell with any character SSF. But you have the patience to do it with ridiculous builds. On Hardcore. With a barbarian. With No vitality. You are a maniac

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Just walk out of Harrogath, D2 is easy :D

I can't believe you sold a beer rune. Thats just steaight up disrespect

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Absolutely, still funny though :D

[@jesterpaulaaron3530]

Back in the day. Me and my friend used to add 2 to str, 2 to dex and 1 to vit for every lvl up and we are able to beat hell. But yea without vit is crazy.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah that sounds super reasonable, probably much better than dumping everything into vit no matter what. People way overestimate how much life you need to beat this game. Once you hit like 2-2.5k you should be all good unless something really weird happens.

[@Grey-j6s]

I'd imagine "Howl" would be amazing against dolls, no?

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yes, but it will still leave the bosses up against you to explode. So it's a bigger risk than what I ended up doing

[@justinkincaid9112]

@TheNuclearRabbit you're a fucken nut for this and that's why I love ya for it

[@absalomvane7776]

@@thenuclearrabbit I tend to comment before I finish watching the video, and didn't see your Singer until it was too late.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

No worries! I'm just glad you are watching and commenting

[@szilardtoth5642]

This run shows that spirit is bonkers, especially on a warcry barb

[@thenuclearrabbit]

To be fair, that wasn't exactly a secret. But yes, yes it is.

[@Morninglightwga]

Amazing! Ballsy move dumping that ber though. Ber is for when monsters hit for huge damage. If you get hit for 1k while amped, a ber will reduce 40 damage, so was worth socketing in a shopped jewelers armor with life. Or a CoH with that Um

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah I know. But this is way funnier. I would also need an Ist for CoH :) I'm also never shopping for a jewelers with life I do not have the patience for that

[@Omnipotentification]

I have a request for a HC run and it's from a 2006 forum post (which you can google to find) by SuperDave: "how far can superdave go? feel free to guess how far i can go with this hardcore zon. playing single player...players 8 she will be naked or use cracked/damaged/low quality items only. all passive build. full clears." Pretty sure he made it and you want a challenge

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I would be bored out of my mind doing this run. It sounds so miserable.

[@DMBlade4]

No vitality and the video is 34 minutes long? Damn, this one is going to be good

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Hope you liked it :D

[@GriefGrumbleTheMauler]

I notice people never spend points on Find Item. Some argue it's a waste on Normal/NM, but I do find it useful on SSF. Many decent items have fairly low TCs. Also, you can't just explode the screen like a Sorc does, so it's just rational to make use of those kills you do. Some vulture tactics: CS mob mass kill with last seal opened, then horking; killing Shenk then horking all his minions; horking defiled warriors in Pindle's yard before they wake (then howling them and dealing wih Pindle). FI sets monster's no-drop chance to 0, thus you get something from a, say, minion's corpse with a chance granted by FI skill level. I found a white Elder staff (and many other good things) for my Zerker horking Defiled warriors in Pindle's yard. Killed only Pindle, of course.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Find item can be very helpful on SSF. But it takes so long to do I just don't bother with it. I would also use Find Potion over Find item cause farming potions is boring :)

[@Unko-Q]

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah Ormus Berated me a bunch about it as well.

[@andrewcooke-hedin1903]

[@daniellang9297]

great job...what a skill you showcased...

[@thenuclearrabbit]

:D I try :)

[@Breakbeat.]

After playing my whole life on keyboard and mouse, I decided to grab it on sale for PS. Controller makes some aspects of the game so so so much easier, and then some things a little bit harder. For the action, I'll be hard pressed to go back to strictly keyboard anymore. I'm probably at about 120 hours on controller now. If you're skeptical, give it some hours and see how you feel about controller, it's pretty great.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Glad to see another convert. I have enjoyed using a controller instead of destroying my wrists for years :)

[@Breakbeat.]

@@thenuclearrabbit Yeah just the action/positioning is so much smoother. Targeting and pickups can be a challenge but I think it's 100% worth it.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah when I use mods and stuff I go back to playing on PC, cause you can't do those on playstation and I always miss auto potion refill so much. It also destroys my wrists and hands to play on KBM for hours. I've never been a pc gamer at all except for D2 and Brood War. Just give me convenience and a controller and I'm good.

[@looter_game]

What?? Ber rune??? and 35000 gold? lol What about 60% CB Bonesnap? 😂

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I mean 35 THOUSAND gold or 1 ber rune. Easy choice :D. OMG You are right. BerSnap would have been the funniest shit. I'll do that next time haha

[@sixmillionaccountssilenced6721]

Completely different ball game. Vitality in D2 is OP. :DD Reminds me of item system in D1 which makes the game pointless since you can buy most of BIS items from town vendors hahaha. No point in loot hunting.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Most items in D2 don't matter either if you know what you are doing. I ignore almost everything that drops, especially if I have a plan of what I want to wear.

[@tfries1607]

Dude, you are hilarious. 😂 stay safe, much love. Hey what was that thrash metal song you had on earlier in act 4 ?

It was Nappa's Theme from Dragon ball Fighterz. Thank you! Will do, you as well :)

We need a +10 Energy shield +10 Telekinesis item for barb :D

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I mean we can always hero edit it.

[@GriefGrumbleTheMauler]

Also, why no Lionheart? It's +150HP or so, and +30 allres too won't hurt. Grim ward is still trash, I'm guessing, and its -%Phys res doesn't really help? Those crazy drops this run, though. Grats with yet another Guardian. Never thought about such challenge builds.
