[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you! I try to be funny :) Glad it's being noticed.

[@captainmurphy809]

14:04 If you’re wanting to get the clawviper amulet faster and more safely, you could telekinesis the altar before teleporting to it. This saves you the time of standing in the middle waiting for the animation to complete

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I always forget about telekineses doing anything. I just never use it. Even after using it earlier. Good reminder thank you.

[@xlatheblackdragon705]

Very nice gameplay and commentary! Thanks for the entertainment ))

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you! No problem thank you for watching :)

[@Monsieur_MartinTTV]

Thanks for making Classic content, it's so rare. Quite a fun and rewarding game mode after years and years of LoD

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I enjoy a bit of classic every once in a while so I'll definitely keep mixing it in. I love how different it is :)

[@davesafish]

So I put Cain back in his cage.... lol

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I was giggling so much when I came up with that

[@sirlionheart4614]

I was smoking some Narlant weed and this gave me a good chuckle.

[@DaedalusRaistlin]

How you feel about the classic stash size is how I feel about the LoD stash size after playing with mods that double the size of your inventory, and more than double your stash and tabs. Fun challenge, thanks! I really enjoy your puns and references.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

For my ssf runs the stash in LoD is more than plenty to work with. The more I do those runs the less I am picking up. But for general gameplay it is much too small for sure. I've fully filled up 2 ps5 accounts of 30+ characters and am now throwing away stuff like bad roll windforces, tal armors and shako's. Which feels insane but can't be helped. Glad you enjoy them I love making them :D

[@Igwi]

The runs in the classic version of the game are so satisfying. You have to give the spearazon a chance to beat the game in its classic version! Thx for another great video!)

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I will at some point for sure! I just want to clear the expansion with it first, then not look at it for a long time and then get into it. Thank you!

[@alexchism5192]

The Limp Biscuit reference was hilarious. Love you content man.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you!

[@prepthenun]

nice hearing limp bizkit getting some love!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I've been listening to their greatest hits since I was 12 years old :D I don't know if they still are, cause time happens and stuff. But when I saw them live they were the greatest band I have ever seen perform. And most of their stuff isn't even really my cup of tea. (I tend to go for the harder metal stuff mostly) But man were they good live

[@SuperSlimeSoda]

That classic stash size is definitely hard mode in addition to no charms to at least get some resistances. The reverse Cain video was funny. PS. My HC SSF Fireclaw died lvl 89...I play on controller and I misclick the transform button instead of opening a TP. So I went from Werebear to human form... Lesson learned..I will never assign Werebear/Werewolf on 1st Weapon set. It will always be on 2nd weapon switch config.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

You can use the inventory as an inventory, which helps a ton. Thank you! I hoped people would enjoy that joke. Rip. Yeah messing up your transform will do that. Good luck on whatever your next build will be!

[@SuperSlimeSoda]

@@thenuclearrabbit I did a new Fire Claw character. Just finished Hell again. But the highest rune drop I got was Fal... I also went more fire skills (no Oak Sage) Lycanthropy 10 Shock Wave 5 Fire Claw 20 Firestorm 20 Molten Boulder 20 Fissure 3 Armageddon 11 Carrion Vine 1 Weapon - Flail "Black" Runeword Shield - Moser Blessed Circle Shield Helm - Peasant Crown Armor - Skin of the Viper Magi Gloves - Death's Hand Belt - Death's Guard Boots - Aldur's Advance Amulet - Angelic Wings Rings - Duel Angelic Halo

[@thenuclearrabbit]

@@SuperSlimeSoda omg I'm so jealous of that gear. I'm done with nightmare and I have a 2 socket aldur weapon and some sigon pieces. Your gear is so good in comparison :D

[@ChevyChaser9]

Great vid as always rabbit.. love the classic content.. please do more!!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you! I will keep it in rotation for sure. I love doing a run every once in a while to change things up. Next one is probably going to be pretty soon, cause I only have the amazon to go before completing all the classes in classic, and I do like having a full set like that.

[@rubikquitous8482]

Wasn't expecting it to be on controller! pretty cool video! Kinda impressed you did duriel on hc on a sorc on controller lmao

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Almost all my video's are on controller. Unless I need to use a mod or hero editor I prefer playing on a ps5. Thank you :)

[@DaedalusRaistlin]

It really does seem to make the game more challenging compared to a mouse. Even just basic stuff like identifying items - I've seen people put identify scrolls in their potion bar! I wonder how challenging it makes aiming fireballs and such...

[@thenuclearrabbit]

It's like driving stick or automatic in a car. Once your used to it, it doesn't matter which one you use. The aim on console is very good except for leap attack and blizzard. But autorefilling potions is amazing and I miss it every time on pc. The biggest downside to playing on ps5 is not being able to move your map around, but not ruining my hand and fingers by being on a laptop for 15 hours a day seems worth it

[@akvoz]

Actualy, playing on a controller doesn't make any harder. They did a great job porting a PC Keyboard+Mouse game to a controller, basicaly it's just bind a skill to a button and point the left stick to a direction that you what to. The only donws that i found are, Telekinesis to open chests or grabing a specific iten on the ground and Teleport to stomp enemies.

[@rubikquitous8482]

That classic Andariel got me feelin' some type of way 🥵

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I get that haha

[@BurbachHC]

Fun run! Loved the forest temple music.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you! The forest temple music is amazing

[@Turtle.69]

Loved this. Especially the 'putting Cain back in his cage' part. It was also extremely helpful. I am right now level 25 on my own Classic sorc and seeing you play through answered a lot of questions I had. Subbed and plan on going through your other videos. Do you have any plans on other classic playthroughs? I think they add a whole new bunch of struggles without the easy aid of powerful and easy to obtain runewords.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

glad you liked it. I will be doing Classic runs every once in a while. I do enjoy classic as a nice little change-up every once in a while and there have been a few builds I've been wanting to try out in Classic.

[@zarfen]

gg! I was surprised by the low level at the end, no wonder you had some close calls!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Haha yeah it got pretty tight at times but it made for an exhilarating playthrough. I actually really like that classic doesn't gatekeep your level. It feels much less of a slog than the expension does.

[@songsan807]

I love D2. Amazing game that I would play with my friends. Still enjoyable today.

Me too. Such an amazing game for sure

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I have runs for multiple other games recorded. I just want to make sure my editing and narrating is up to snuff before moving into them :) my goal has been to rotate between games from the start. But I need to practice somewhere :)

[@EliasFlint]

I actually laughed out loud when you put cain back in his cage for getting a trash ring reward

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah I loved that joke so much whe I thought of it. I'm just happy to see other people like it as well

[@jacobdhall]

The Mario rpg music is perfect

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah mario rpg has amazing music. Both versions are so well done

[@Niedfyr]

Really shows how much impact the LoD expansion had. Kinda miss the thrill of finding uniques wihtout instantly knowing what they were.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I get it, but I kind of like knowing what they are too, cause it means I don't have to identify everything every single time. But it's definitely a rush finding something new.

[@leoseibert]

"the ring that Akara gave me it's a trash, so I've put Cain back in the cage" loool

[@alh-xj6gt]

I like classic. the tiny stash doesn't matter that much as there are no charms, runes and jewels. Don't know if normal mephisto does drop everything. should drop a lot of the possible sets. SOJ ilvl 39 does not drop from nm anderiel in classic. there is some old d2jsp post with area levels and boss levels. also no sockets in chest. that took me a while to realize. Not that it matters as the FHR rare pieces are worth the missing sockets. respect for going into hell on hardcore with that little life!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah the tiny stash really isn't so bad. It just looks so bad it's funny. Classic runs are much shorter than Expansion runs anyway so you just don't need all of the space. not 100% sure, but I believe I said almost everything. I know soj's dont drop from andy in nm in classic. Armors are just really bad in classic. But rare and most unique armors are bad in the expansion as well. I would give them a massive rework and buff if it were up to me. Thx!

[@frankenstein3163]

Any info on shopping merchants for classic ? Does character lvl affect and doe difficulty affect the shopping ? I was thinking it might be easy to shop a Obsession staff. Is Obsession garbage ?

Obsession is fine. But I don't think you can just buy a good base from vendors. I'd just google around for this stuff, I don't know the answer to these questions

Didn’t angelic armor drop to go with that amulet?
