DIABLO 2 - THE SUPER BUDGET TRAPSIN - ALL GEAR FOR LESS THAN 1 IST TOTAL

[@MrLlamaSC]

Sorry this video was so long, I will shorten them in the future!!

[@Lathlaer]

Your channel is full of long videos, be it speedruns or simply playthroughs. We are used to long videos. 1 hour is nothing. We are all fans of Diablo, we either play it or watch others play it, we talk about or watch others talk about. I guess what I am saying - make them as long as they need to be. Do your content however you like - if it needs to be long, let it be long. If you feel like shorter is better - do shorter. But don't compromise for perceived opinions whether it's too long or too short! :)

This is the way to go with budget builds. All gear less than… x rune. Thank you!

[@veryblackraven]

For Assassin specifically I would have made Spirit in a Long Sword. The requirements aren't too high, and it's faster than Broad/Crystal Sword.

[@puriwatathichoktanaparn5165]

Do we have any caution for long sword to 4os?

[@mrkiky]

This is what I did. Long sword from nightmare Mausoleum, socketed at Larzuk.

[@veryblackraven]

@@puriwatathichoktanaparn5165 it's the same as Broad Sword. It has to be ilvl 26 to be able to have 4 sockets. But it also cannot have more than 4, so you can safely Larzuk it, even if it's from Hell difficulty.

[@slowbro13215]

It's worth noting, since long swords are very common, you might want to use the cube recipe to add sockets instead of using up a Larzuk quest (1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst). It has a 50% chance of having less than 4 sockets, but you can keep doing it with new long swords until you get a 4os. Your Larzuk quest might be better spent on socketing a unique or set item, or on a more rare item like a Monarch.

Now that its a build guide this gear will go up in price due to all the players that dont try stuff themselfs and just go off builds not puting out budget builds is best for community let them experiment and experience some other gear and it would raise alot of non build guide gear

I appreciate the time saving in using chat, but I think that was your only “streamer benefit” was being able to “find” the trades since folks came to you. But the basis for the video made sense and I really appreciate you explaining the break down of runes as well.

[@bugfeatures]

yeah this prices you would had to trade several days, especially at the time where made the video. So it still was streamer benefit. People who do not play so much, so they need budged builds still dont have the time to trade all day.

[@xanderoptik]

Trapsin has been an awesome class for me. Lvl'd with your guide as my main and used it to farm runes for Enigma, Fortitude, HoTO, CTA, (just rolled #3 and got a 6/5/4 :D) and top tier gear for it as well as Druid, Barb and Zon. Once geared its great for farming keys and can MF pretty much anywhere. Just working on that elusive Enigma for it now.. Thanks for all the info dude!

[@redpanda416]

All caster/spell based characters can be very budget, dual spirits are your bread and butter, a +3 skills blue ammy, a +1 or +2 skill armor( there are so many of them, skin of viper magi is preferred by many for the all res and fcr but there are several other choices), shako if you can afford it, other wise a cheap +2 circlet with some res will do. some random rings with res and stats. you are all set, you can basically tear thru hell with ease. This will work for sorc with most builds, summon necro, trapsin, hammerdin, warcry barb, javezon (1 spirit shield and javelin) and wind druid.

[@fredericklogan430]

I just found an Um rune running nightmare hellforge on my solo selffound WW barb! i feel like i always get the goods when i watch these still after all these years! Keep up the good work!

[@danwick8566]

This character is basically my "best" character, the first one I built at launch, now an 87 trapsin. I have limited playtime, so this was a refreshing change of pace from the "mega builds" that I will probably never have time to grind out. I would have liked just a little more explanation at the end for what the next steps are for the character -- does she start chasing a HOTO, CTA, or something else entirely? Where does she go to farm those next steps? In any case, thanks for the video!

[@iKuba42]

I am not a very big expert, but I spent many respecs and created a few assassins before I got the following: - trapsin is not very gear dependent, +skills may do most of the work - and even more important thing is allres, you MUST always have max, if the choice is +skills or allres - choose allres - do not use fade for achieving max allres, i.e. do not learn fade at all, you must always be under BoS buff, it increases mobility and damage so much, so you can live - max the fire blast right after LS and DS, it helps significantly against light immunes (fire-light immunes must be skipped or defeated by low res wand) - do not rely on merc too much, all the videos where merc take care of light immunes imply very high geared merc, also keep in mind that freeze merc destroys bodies, so he reduces your aoe damage, but he helps crowd control, make your choice, I chose freeze anyway because as I said even the might merc without BiS gear will not live too long and will not kill immunes, and some crowd control is helpful - do monitor the lobby, there are A LOT of games where high-level chars give items for free just to empty their chest, I got for free - a couple of bartucs, vipermagi, several insights, trang gloves, aldurs, verdungo, string of ears, que-hegan, almost full gold and mf sets for barb (2x alibabas, skulder, 2x dwraf, 2x nagel, goldwrap, infernos, chances) and many other that I cannot remember (really many, the list above is just a small part), so I literally dressed all my chars in starting gear (+some pieces of BiS) absolutely for free now I never sell uniques or sets, I join such games and drop as much as I can and take what I really need:) also, there are often simply good offers in the lobby - I got my 12/18 torch for pul - as for hoto, cta, enigma, 6 LS claws - they all great but not a must-have, that is just a way to maximize your char if you already have all the gear except this if the question what to get first, the answer is - you cannot affect this:) farm cows for bases, farm travincal for runes, depending on your loot, you will got some of these items earlier, some of them later

[@iKuba42]

@@jordil5469 nope:) possibility to land 5 traps in a second and kite any mob is essential for trapsin, as that highly increases both damage and survivability and fade instead just reduces taken damage, but trapsin should avoid taking damage at all, you have mind blast and cloak to not let monsters to hit you, you just need max allres from gear to avoid oneshots

@@blazedehart2748 I'll have to let you know once I get to hell but since watching the budget Javazon build I started one yesterday. Leveled from 27 to 41 hosting p8 Chaos runs. Soon as I was able to equip Lore helm (+2) and spirt shard (cnbf and +1) on me. I put insight on merc and things really took off. Other gear was found +1 javelin, umbral disk shield I found during the run (shoulda/coulda used rhyme for more mf), rare 10IAS gloves dropped, I was running Tancreds wierd+boot combo (78%mf). 2 Nagle rings I started with and then I found a goldwrap playing through which gave me 150% MF for chaos runs and I was destroying everything with my carries lagging behind (or laughably dieing in the case of the sorc trying to port in and snag the rune drops!). I've replaced the disk with Ancients Pledge (RalOrtTal from A5 quest) so my resists are solid for Nightmare and probably at least positive in hell. One more level on the way to NMAndy I'll be throwing on my titans (found on barb previously). Also have razortail instash to replace goldwrap but haven't felt need for more dmg yet. Will be making a Peace tonight once I check rune stash.

Dual Spirit, Lore and the class specific runeword armors: - Give +7 to skills, a bunch of res, and FCR - Can be farmed from Hell Countess (except the Monarch, but they drop in the Chaos Sanctuary often enough) - With shopped items in your other slots will let you farm Hell Mephisto, Diablo and Baal.

[@goseals6]

Hey. This build looks great. I don't have an Ist, but I have several sandwiches.

[@cyborgtemplar1989]

if it wasn't so difficult to farm, my favorite budget trap sin start sword - spirit shield - anything really. You can go with 2nd spirit if you can afford it hits every bp, ancients pledge for solid resists, and even splendor freeing up a 2nd ring and more +skills. Chest - stealth (yes even in early mid game, treachery goes to merc before me) belt - deaths belt (2nd most annoying thing to get on this list, gives cbf and 15% res all. and opens up shield slots away from rhyme, especially now that we can upgrade it) gloves - deaths gloves - ias, and reduce poison duration. uniquely useful in nihlithak runs. helm - really anything works here. frw sin circlet probably my favorite. a genaric +3 trap circlet or a tarnhelm type is also solid Boots - anything with good frw and a couple solid resistances ring 1 - 10 fcr + anything ring 2 - something with resists amulet - anything with teleport charges. if it has +traps, life/mana/res or fcr it's better. but really just teleport charges swap - doesn't really matter. tele staff is too slow to use unless it's a staff with high fcr that gets to the 65 breakpoint with just stealth and a ring. You could use a lower resist wand if you wish as well and that'd probably do perfectly fine but not needed. I like to keep my repairs down to just the tele charges if possible. note - this is specifically a key farming build. Most notably something to murder nihlathak with. and to do that safely and quickly it needs a few things 1 - teleport charges in amulet or circlet. tele staff is too slow for a pure run and ignore 99% of mobs. 2 - 65 fcr. this is why I keep stealth. 25 fcr + 10 ring is 35. only need a 30 spirit, easy enough. or 2nd ring and horribad spirit. 3 - some fhr. spirit sword gives 55. that alone is the 5 frame bp which is adequate with the fcr to not get locked out 4 - frw. you're using maybe 2 tele charges per run if played well. 4-5 is doable if you really get in a bind and need to tele over a pack. so you need the frw here to get around quickly and just run past everything without any risk 5 - CBF. this part isn't as mandatory for nihlithak runs as it is for countess which has a lot more mobs that freeze you. but still valuable. especially if you plan to run 2 different keys 6 - trap ias speed - 30 ias gloves and +skills from spirit goes a long ways here. though i'm usually still in a 5 point burst of speed build at this point in ladder. so not as required 7 - adequate mana to clear nihilthaks room without insight from your merc. nihili runs (especially vipers) will melt a merc almost regardless of what he has on this early. 8 - Enough damage to get a kill and set off a corpse explosion chain reaction before cloak of shadows fades. tactic - know the nihlithak maps. their are only a few places you need to teleport to make it a very quick run. DON'T use cloak of shadows until you're about to enter nihlithaks room. Not his floor, but specifically his room. If done properly you're getting to him so quickly, if you cast it on the first floor it won't be off cd before you reach his room (has an internal cd where it won't let you recast it, until the first one has faded. with just a few +skills that cd gets annoying). and things can get dicy. Cast it as you're entering nihilthaks room and set up your 5 lightening sentries and throw out some fireblasts, swap over to 3-5 death sentries as you get one kill, loot and move on. cloak will keep you safe from any ranged mobs, corpse explosions, and vipers until it fades. If the CE chain fails to kill Nihilthak, safe play is to start a new game. but you can walk around the corpses so he doesn't go boom on you. this is a mercless setup. merc's at this point will just die so many times they aren't worth it. An amazing build to get some keys and nihilthak loot to trade with. Especially potent early ladder, far less potent mid/late ladder when keys lose a lot of trading value. outside the teleport amulet/helmet it's basically free. Farming deaths belt will take the longest out of any of these.

[@mralloc23]

I feel like you did a good job at being pretty honest as far as budget goes. An inexperienced player might pay a bit more since they are less familiar with prices and are more prone to get hosed in a trade lol. But there are TONS of free games and people drop mid grade gear often (mostly junk tho), so a player could check free games for a bit of loot as well. Spirit and insight are easy to make cheap ones. The monarch is the hardest thing to find in that aspect, but you could go lidless or something instead. Shako can be downgraded to any +1 skill helm that are dirt cheap, so really the build has an even more budget setup as well.

[@cinnabun117]

Very cool, would love to see something like this except focusing more on shopping and just generally spending as little as possible to get something viable. As opposed to starting with a (rather arbitrary) rune value and getting the most you can for that value.

[@Degarne]

Problem is there's no one answer to "spend as little as possible and get something viable". TBH, the true answer to that would be to make a javzon or hammerdin and don't gear them at all, as they can clear a handful of really good farming spots NAKED. The reason making a build that costs less than an Ist makes sense is because any character capable of farming hell countess should be able to get an ist (or better) within a couple hours of farming. If you can't afford the time to get a character to hell and farm hell countess for 4-6 hours, there's not going to be anything budget enough for you

[@pr_squared]

The truth is, gear prices increase along with build popularity. I was wondering why low rolled atorches are selling for pul/um in the last few days, when it went for lem until a week ago. It makes sense now that I see there's a Mrllama video out.

[@Elcaification]

I generally go for and edge bow and buy +3traps claw x2 and on the switch a +3shadow dis x2. Any 40%ms boots with 20%ias gloves.. all from npcs. You can also keep using the stealth armor or any +1skill. In ammy and rings its pretty much all res or what you find. I used to use kiras guardian for the cbf and ress. Then you can farm cows till you have all the fancy stuff you want. Pd nats armor with 3 15%ias jwl are too good in that case you can just put 1 hardpoint into bos to maximize your traps dmg. Till you reach hell act5 you can just run ryme and spirit sword for good. Sin are good for farming dkeys with no gear. You can trade them for good

[@lolpaladins]

I play a budget trapsin, shopped 40% atk speed +3 traps claw Mainhand and +3 trap offhand was great. My swap was +2 assassin skills and +3 discipline skill claws. That took me roughly 1 hour to find, didn't even bother trying to find +5 or +6 claws. Weapon block on the claws significantly improved my survivability, it wasn't even close to the previous option which I had been using which was lidless wall and spirit sword.

[@frpayawal]

Did you shop at Anya? Looking to build a trapsin myself.

[@lolpaladins]

@@frpayawal Yes, like I said 40% atk speed mainhand with +3 to traps and just a generic +3 traps blue with the swaps giving me +5 for shadow master and burst of speed took me about an hour. It's an easy reset at Anya with burst of speed every few resets. I think maybe I'm not high enough to shop skillmods and +traps at 82, not sure what level you need to be to get both and I don't think you can get +traps AND 40% atk speed AND skillmods for lightning sentry. That said, I did run into a few +3 lightning sentry totem that I passed up, I actually wanted the +traps because it helps the fire blast for lightning immunes because of the lack of infinity. Of course, I have a slower claw [-10] If you got one of the -30 ones you might not need the 40% ias in order to hit 7 frame traps which is pretty nice. With treachery and all my other +skill gear I only needed like 3 points in burst of speed to hit a 7 frame trap laying.

[@chraketcm8608]

Really like this concept, a fun challenge too I imagine? Look forward to seeing more builds :)

[@Gemquist]

That was me (No0delZ) who mentioned Sazabis. Figured I should defend that position somewhat. The energy, mpk, and integer DR on Lore is nice, but you could in theory waste a socket quest on a Sazabi's helm and make it even better. On top of the lightning/fire resist you could get MF, even more resistances, or drop some sort of rare jewel into it for whatever. Just an overall underrated budget helm that can be had for the low price of a couple of PGems, or more likely free. I think I find at least three or four of them in a given week.

[@BenOfGlory]

Sazabis always has a place in my helm rotation list. Hadn't thought about the potential of the socket either so cheers!

@@acershaw8442 I totally missed that you had replied. No actually damage is totally fine all the way up to act 5. Lightning/death trapps kill things super fast with the assis of fire blast. For me it's harder to stay alive sometimes than killing stuff. Killing stuff is fast. Staying alive can be tricky at times. And you just learn to not fight the light immune ones. Only freeing Anya is super annoying with ghost shooting lighting everywhere and Ancients can sometimes spawn as light immune that you can't break so you have to keep resetting them. Chaos sanctuary was a bit slow but manageable (I don't farm there). Rush through first half of act 3. The rest is not that hard at all.

[@josephmauney2367]

Looking forward to more budget builds!

[@andrzejjasinski8634]

"just spit a bunch of garbage at me" hahaha (33min 07sec)

[@defeqel6537]

Back in the day, I ran something like 2000 runs of countess + pindle + eldrich and never got Ist or higher. I did eventually get better runes with botting.

[@shan3671]

I need the build that you can purchase for a Dol rune.

[@PlamoTherapy]

Those 25HR character "guides" would be better if you include a section about progression.

[@shaunbagley88]

Just an fyi for these budget builds, you should probably adjust your value for Ko and Fal. A single Ko is worth more then a single Fal for trade value.

[@lordxtama1382]

Idk if ill ever see the reply but hoolpefully i do what i really want to kblnow is what are you using to pin the text to your screen like that

[@Nephalem84]

what website or discord or w/e do you use to look up item prices for runes? Most I find only do RMT

[@rileylaforge7640]

more of these for other classes please!

[@EliteCaca]

anyone know what was MrLlama using for price check?

[@HalzornPS3]

hey @mrLlamasc, treachery or vipers mage? thanks!

[@Qtrainer]

Question, I play Single Mode by myself. No Ladders or anything. What does it mean "If your on a budget?" Are you guys buying item with actual cash? It seems like in Diablo cash is endless...why would you be on a budget.? I'm sure it's a newbie question but I used to play 20 years ago and had all kinds of Mules and all of the runes and items...we used to just download them and use them in single player scenarios. Just asking.

[@Zephairein]

Note to the Wise dont try to make this "Budget Build" at the start of Ladder you wont get anywhere near this gear for a Ist rune lol

[@superben1755]

it's funny how some prices are so different in hc - a shako costs like ist+gul and low torches are more than um

[@takingchances7239]

People just don't realize how easy the game actually is, can easily do ubers with an ist worth of gear too if you've got the experience

[@johnjohn40100]

Nice series. Do one for other characters also

[@averydizzle]

Videos are never too long dawg

[@damian02161986]

The only gear you should buy from this is a torch. Rest you can acquire simply by playing the game more than sitting in town trading

[@cw48494]

Spirit pb, spirit shield/sshield, treachery, +3 mods ammu, shako, arach, aldur boot or ww, rftost, dwarf, arach, blood fist or Trang. XX trap gc and torch. Use fade and dragon flight, should be good for pvm and pvp with the swap gears.

[@David-we3sb]

does anyone know where I can learn how to trade properly in D2? I am lost...

[@Martin97Angelov]

Does this setup have enough dmg for ubers?

[@unknownunknown-ni1ns]

Couldn't chat just have played at same time and look for your character in the games to "interfer" since blocking game name didn't seem to make sense.

[@wofire1]

I just made an assassin in hc yesterday. Perfect timing

[@bird3713]

I’ve got a Bartuc’s so I was hoping he would say it was a prime item for this build. Bummer that it’s secondary to an easy-to-acquire runeword.

[@MrLlamaSC]

Honestly it would be fine in this build!

[@cozzyinferno272]

@@MrLlamaSC i was thinking of getting a bartuc's and dropping a 15IAS/-15% req jewel that I have in it. Would that be worth it or would the spirit still be slightly better?

[@MultiWicht]

I found 2 Bartuc‘s on my Sorc and Hammerdin, so that’s what my Sin is now using.

[@JJV7243]

FYI bought a 10/10 sin torch for 5 perfect amythesists yesterday

[@David-we3sb]

whats the best way to keep merc alive?

[@mattmatt392]

U dont even need bartucks, 2 3 trap claws from anya u can shop them in around 30 minutes. 3trap tiara with 2 sockets for resists. Nef lum armor for the resists and fhr Magefists for the fcr and 1to fire blast. If u want to use fade instead of bos just wear the treachery for 2 more skills. U absolutely need a low torch and 3-4 skillers to actually do cows with ease.like theres a sweet spot to get at least 6-7 k light dmg

[@RAVENHKMPOWER]

Wait Assa torches are tradeable? been trying to sell a 20 18 for a month now i gave like 4 lower ones for free and i kinda struggled

[@Phnxkon]

If I saw it for a reasonable price I'd have bought it just for the 20 18. Now I have a smiter and get em myself

[@mapron1]

@@Phnxkon I would buy even 10/10, but I see no offers...

[@wildwest1832]

Yeah assassin is very underrated. One of the most powerful characters in the game IMO but at the end I feel traps kind of fall off without infinity. Other builds - hammerdin just demolish it in damage because of light resists. Then why not play a light sorc? Light sorc is stronger.

[@ozzie6268]

Can anyone please tell me what's said in the intro

[@jeffclifford6127]

Could you make a guide on how to gear characters on console? There is no real trading on PlayStation. You could chance forums but you have to drop items and hope you’re don’t get scammed. It’s a real grind finding gear.

[@hotshot940]

The people have spoken, and they are right.

[@cody9089]

Where are yall doing all this trading

[@fredrikabramsson4659]

honestly I've soon seen the whole video and I can't remember a thing you've said. Only using this as white noise 🤔
