That ring off duriel is history worthy.. that's insane. Imagine a speedrun with that drop

My first skill point on any sorceress ever will be in Warmth, and there is nothing you can do to stop me!

[@operator8014]

It's a really nice QoL skill if you have enough +fire skills. Having a natural 2x mana regen from just 1 or 2 points is SOOOOOO nice.

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

It is the way

[@Weldedhodag]

yeah, a lot of the higher level spells really eat up mana, especially once they get higher in level. I made a Leaf staff for my lightning (Now cold because lightning is dogshit, 1-1gazillion damage but it always rolls less than 100) sorc just for the extra points in warmth

Love how you leaned into the speed aspect on this build. Was very enjoyable to watch!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I mean how could I not. This was very fun to record

[@zarfen]

Blaze is such an awesome skill! Too bad it gets so overshadowed as a mobility skill since sorc has teleport as well

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah Blaze should have been on the Druid. Can you imagine running around with blaze and geddon? It would be so sick. It also gives him a mobility skill which he currently doesn't have

[@zarfen]

@ that would be SO sick. He’s got a bunch of elemental fire skills already as well, so we can check the lore box as well 😉

as someone who plays alot of 1.0 Where Mana pots arent sold in the shop warmth is entirely mandatory in that version of the game atleast haha

[@GoldenredDragon]

Oh gosh that ending hurt so bad! o_0 Love the playthrough!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

[@hispls]

In all fairness to Blaze if this hadn't been an "I can't teleport or have 4 digit health pool either" challenge it would have been an easy win as you were pretty well crushing the majority of these maps. I've been using Blaze a lot on my enchant D-machine sorc this ladder and with a full pack of skillers, sunder, flickering flame, infinity merc etc. it is actually extremely strong in a lot of situations and IMO a bit better than teleport for mobility in a lot of maps playing on controller/console.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Oh for sure if I wasn't being crazy greedy with the sanders boots and the hustle this run would have crushed the game no problem. Even meme-ing around it felt powerful.

[@hispls]

It looked strong, and I've been using Blaze a lot this ladder myself and watching this gave me some good ideas for getting even more use out of it. Wondering why don't we use this more instead of hydra/orb or cold/firewall hybrids for campaign and pre-sunder? I know your thing is the goal is reached when you hit Guardian but for a lot of players that's barely even when the real game starts and 99 on a ladder is the finish line.

[@wat5713]

If that ring had more str, or even just 10% fcr it would be like 10 high runes. What a find.

[@dextervepps8794]

[@zaszz]

The evade is actually pretty legit for a char thats moving all the time.

[@momchilandonov]

2:28 how is poison length good for Andariel when she pretty much lands poison damage like every 2 seconds?!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

When you move back after getting hit the poison stops almost immediately with 75% reduction. Instead of putting you to 1 hp like normal

[@gabydewilde]

Blaze requires a tank as you cant fkn see what is going on. Energy shield with warmth seems nice.

[@JeremyNoblitt]

Love the mario rpg music. Love using blaze. Mana regen is better with more Energy. Love these videos.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you!

[@MadMetalMacho]

I thought for sure you'd spec into thunderstorm and energy shield with a blaze build... makes so much more sense to pick something that also does dmg while you move, no? And with all that mana regen energy shield seems great!

[@arvydasgaming]

Fire wall we used on Diablo 1. On D2 it is like to make fire traps assasin :) You definitely need teleport with this build. Imune to fire and cold = use static field. Always spend 1 sp on it. This skill is must have. It can decimate hp of any foe(s) pretty quick to less than half, after what you need to finish it manually. Easier life for merc. Oh my gosh, that was harcdore!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Well yes but this would be way to easy if I specced into static and teleport

Your videos inspired me to go for HC SSF runs myself for the first time. Started with a Concentration Barb, which was kind of a slog, so I put him aside for now right after killing Duriel. Then started a Paladin using Holy Fire, and man, was this a breeze. Just burned down Mephisto, let's see how things go...

I would probably keep a ranged mercenary. Youre moving alot with blaze and you can also teleport. Ive been using a fire iron wolf lately.

I was hoping you would cover blaze at some point. Its such a slept on leveling skill.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah Blaze is criminally underrated. Probably because you already have teleport so no need to spec into a faster run skill

@thenuclearrabbit it's a joke like "Thanks, i hate it", but my eyes are tired fast, but i like to gaze on fire effects. Lol

[@c4master703]

It's so cool that stuff like this is possible in D2. However, if you didn't refuse to use generic sorc skills like staticfield and teleport, this probably have been pretty easy, right? I'm looking forward to episode 2 of the blaze wars.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Using static field and teleport makes every run basically free as long as you don't play like a degenerate.

[@davidhenriksson285]

Mmmm frogs theme

[@cichy133]

Yeah not using teleport was a bad choice.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Nah, teleport would make this run to easy and make blaze irrelevant cause why run when you can teleport

[@boquetsamuel7039]

6:23 I saw you drew a demon head on the floor :) Gravenspine is a normal wand that can drop on D2 classic. You cant shop for +3 magic wands at drognan since this affixe isnt available in classic.

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

I'd gone blizzard...more passive. cast it in front then blaze through it :p. (though i get it's a bit synergy heavy, i'd still go for a bit underpowerd blizzard.)

[@WooliteMammoth]

Just to let yu know, "epitome" is pronounced "Eh pih toh mee" with the stress on the second syllable. :)

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Oh whoops I pronounced it in the wrong language

[@Baccory]

​@@thenuclearrabbit My dude, English is my only language and it took me nearly 35 years (so very recently) to figure out epi-tome and e-pi-tom-ee are the same word. Like, I just figured epi-tome was a word I knew that no one really uses in everyday speech (like verbose or macabre), and never thought about how e-pi-tom-ee was spelled.

I can't tell if you're joking about Dawn of the Dead zombies or got them mixed up with 28 Days Later zombies (argueably the most common movie people point to as an example of "fast" zombies).

[@Baccory]

[@margusmadalik1931]

Nice spoiler in the Andy fight, I understood that. I understand why you chose frozen orb, but I think that for a fully passive build, thunder storm would have been more fun (for us to watch at least). Just when I think you must be out of ideas, you come out with new crazy/fun/stupid builds, keep up the good work!!

[@MarvMarvensen]

Yeah, I was rooting for Thunderstorm as well.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Oooh thunderstorm would have been fun as well. I hadn't thought of it. Maybe next time. I once asked for requests and suggestions on an early video. I now have an almost 500 video deep request queue. I will never in a million years run out of runs to do. I literally have a colorcoded excel spreadsheet and two files on my phone to keep track of all the requests. And I still get completely new requests like once a week.
