Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 5 Progress Has Been Slow... But Then THIS Happened

[@bobdobalina5631]

Awesome find with the ber! I decided to run summon necro too, just got him to hell last night

[@BTHDreamer]

Nice dude! How you likin' it?

[@bobdobalina5631]

@@BTHDreamer I love it, yea it’s suuuuper slow but I did the sorceress quick ladder last couple of seasons and wanted to try summon necro. I’m running a might merc and gonna get him a hustle once I get a ko rune for the fanaticism aura. Thought about doing the edge bow but I can’t see dedicating that much +skill loss for the thorns.

[@BTHDreamer]

Hustle is a great idea man I was just thinking about that as well. Gotta get this clear speed higher haha. Yeah I just really didn't want to do the sorc gig as well... I'm definitely having fun with the necro and it's giving me a new challenge to think about haha

[@test-rj2vl]

This thorns aura idea seems great. You could get your merc a weapon that gives Concentration or Fanaticism (or both if you give one weapon to merc and hold other yourself) and if you easily find some low runes you could keep making iron golems that give you Vigor aura to run faster. And Concratz on Ber rune. If you choose to grind for enigma it would help you so much - not only faster movement but also to gather your minions together.

[@BTHDreamer]

The thorns is so great against boss fights. They basically just kill themselves lol. That is a good idea on the iron golems man. Man being able to control my minions with teleport would be SO NICE

[@lnmloner]

i would shop a teleport charge staff , that countess grind looks rough with them stuck in door, teleport in with staff on swap to get them all hitting her. I have found it necessary in order to reposition summons sometimes

[@BTHDreamer]

Hey I didn't even think about shopping for a tele staff. Great idea!

[@mikesul16]

You may want to consider making a beast double axe with that ber. Holding that axe as your mainhand will give your minions fanaticism, which will definitely spike their damage big time.

[@BTHDreamer]

Very interesting. Do you think it would be worth it to make it into a higher tier weapon as to do some damage as a bear as well?

[@mikesul16]

@@BTHDreamer nah, you want it in a lower stat weapon because you are literally just using it for the Fanat aura. You can then get a might aura act 2 merc and, eventually, equip him with pride for the concentration aura. With that combo, your minions will rip everything to shreds.

[@mikesul16]

Also, last night I got a 17/14 necro torch I don’t need or want. Let me know if you want it - happy to toss your way since it’s either that or the ground.

[@BTHDreamer]

sick dude! I'll definitely take it lol much appreciation. You got that in Ladder already?

[@mikesul16]

@@BTHDreamer Let me know if you want my btag - can meet up whenever to toss your way.

[@Rsnoomak]

As a summon necro main i can tell your clear speed is slow because you decide to be slow.Summon management its very important thing especially on a close and narrow areas.Mages and rivives blocks your dmg output.Skeleton warriors by far ,combinated with Corpse explosion is the way to go.For example when i farm Pits i do 6 skeleton warriors,merc and clay golem that way they dont body block each other also i reposition them with tele staff.On a open wide areas i can summon more to spread the dmg.Also casting corpse explosion gives to you the feeling you actually play this game.Mages they are just bad ,rivives are pretty situational on certain farm points like bosses.Other than that amazing start and pretty good finds

[@BTHDreamer]

Good info man! Thanks!

[@matchi3377]

Gratz on the Ber! How many hours did you play until you got your ber?

[@BTHDreamer]

Thanks man! I was stoked lol. Not many tbh I haven't even finished Hell yet lol 😅😅😅

[@jeffriggins9106]

Would have had no doubt on equipping thay blade buckle. Play hardcore though so FHR is super nice. Thorns over might ? Interesting

[@BTHDreamer]

omg I haven't had the balls to play hardcore yet lol 😅😅😅

[@jeffriggins9106]

@@BTHDreamer haven't played this season, may fire it back up. Had a 95 sorc last ladder

[@BTHDreamer]

oh noice! dude git er done man quick slackin! haha

[@andyhermenet6837]

Shop a 2os wand from a2 norm with summon stuff make a white wand!

[@BTHDreamer]

I just might have to do that!

[@garystile4955]

Leveling up is rough this season it seems like they nerfed it especially when rushed along

[@BTHDreamer]

It sure is hard starting fresh man I have gotten frustrated a number of times hahaha

[@garystile4955]

@@BTHDreamer they had to change exp because I'm in act five and the exp is so little

[@BTHDreamer]

that's very interesting bro... what level you is?

[@bane9685]

Could also do a hustle iron golem. A lot cheaper to get fanat but it's only level 1 so small range. Still fun though

[@BTHDreamer]

Good idea!

[@scarfazed]

Somebody did the testing on thorns vs might. Thorns wins out easily until ur very geared. Think it was macroboiboi

[@BTHDreamer]

Ah hey good to know thanks for bringing that up! I might have to do some more research as well
