The Decrepify on hit from Lawbringer massively upgrades the damage Grief does by breaking most physical immunes or reducing physical damage reduction by 50%. And it has a higher level Sanctuary aura for more Magic damage on hit. Lawbringer is a better switch weapon on a physical Zealot or off hand Frenzy (physical builds). Azurewrath may be a better choice on an elemental melee character like an Avenger with Conviction aura to boost the Elemental damage effectiveness on the weapon, but the Physical damage converted by Vengeance to Elemental would be relatively low.

Nightsmoke is the only item on your list I can see on a true endgame build, and that automatically puts it on first place for me. It's a comfortable item to use on a Zerker barb or you can make a lower skill investment Energy Shield sorc with it that stacks damage taken goes to mana to a point where it has technically endless mana and still goes max vita (and guess who is stashing rare jewels with that stat... lol). If there is a clear better choice, it's hard to evaluate how underrated an item is. That said I think Stormlash IS underrated, it is insanely rare, and well known, but I think most people just go with Grief and the other obvious stuff without having first hand experience with Stormlash.

BEST part of Bloodfist gloves is the +5 minimum damage. At level 9 this makes a GIGANTIC difference for weapon damage characters. Combine Bloodfist with my triple armor/dual helm 20/2 poison jeweled pretties, and then a triple socket weapon for either fire, lightning or even more poison damge, along with some dmg charms, and your leveling up in normal and even parts of nightmare speeds up massively. Also, never to be forgotten, Hsarus defense set and Sigon's steel, both are excellent for speeding up levelling. And Sigon worked so well on at least on character that even in late Nightmare, still using it.

I have a Semi-onTopic question about playing the game without accepting items from other players or using the ones in your Shared Stash. A little bit of background about my time playing D2R: I started playing D2R about 1 week before Ladder released. The game was incredibly flooded with items by then. People in non-ladder were dropping Enigma's for free etc. What surprised me is how quickly prices dropped and people started dropping good items on Ladder when that released. Since Ladder released I've only played on there and, around the time I was clearing Hell on my 10th character, somebody I had never played with before gave me a Enigma. By then I had already easily gathered many nice sets and uniques mostly through trading perfect gems and runes or from free item games. Around a month into ladder somebody already gave me a perfect Anni for free. I was very surprised with how many great items are being given away for free - especially because it's Ladder. I now have basically no reason to try and get anything better and the game is now too easy with so much best-in-slot stuff. This realization made me sad, which is ironic. In other games people can be so toxic when it comes to items and sharing them. In D2R people are too generous! 😄 Now I want to experience what it feels like to rely solely on my own RNG drop-luck, like I did 20 years ago. Does anybody have any advice on what class & build to play to experience this in a good way?

E Zod'd Fleshripper was my go to main hand weapon on my old fury druid for pub duels, before they first fcked with the ias frames. 399% E Fleshripper with a Zod is gg af & I got to listen to people cry about the slow.

Lol, people tell me the slow is Bad manners in pvp. I laugh every time I hear about Bad mannered PVP. It makes no sense to me not to leverage something like slows target.

@@GGMentor Public duels are for public dueling, open to the public & not bound by ridiculous dictates of others preferences about what you are 'allowed' to use on your character, totally agree. My wolf barb used ebotdZ or E deathCleaver for gm melee duels (if I had a token to spare - I had the axes on hand all the time) but for public duels I always used *grief pb* or zerker, depending on which I wanted to use. I was wealthy back then & didn't give a damn. Poor af now though, lol. I miss my old almost p wolfhowl...

Hi Ginger, iv been doing solo online Hell. Seeking tips on what to do if i get cornered and die by the entrance of the floor level and a pack of monsters are waiting by the entry point. I keep on dying everytime i go to the level. I had to exit the game and i lost all my MF gear( skullder's ire, Alibaba and a ternhelm) i also lost my Hoto and spirit monarch. If i die and get trapped by the entrance what should i do? Exit the game right away then go back to the spot where i died? Will my gear still be there? Exiting and going back is the only way i know for the monsters to leave my body and give me room to retrieve it. I hope you can relly or anyone who can, appreciate it. Keep safe! Thanks

So your body stores all your gear, and if you die a second time that body stores all your gear and you can have up to like 17 bodies or some crazy shit. But only one body comes with you when you leave the game. How the game determines which body is kept is by item value in gold. If you equip a second body and that body is worth more than the first and you leave the game you can lose your first body. The easiest way to make sure nothing gets lost is to leave on the first death and rejoin. Your body will be waiting for you in town with everything on it. I suggest you watch my video on death ☠️
