It Took 15 Days, But I Finally Made Infinity! | LEGIT Endgame Enchantress On Ladder Season 3 D2R

[@bobnewkirk7003]

Congratulations Mac. You spend yourself providing top notch content for this community, so its good to see you not only succeeding but enjoying the process. I look forward to D4 and seeing how this community tackles an entirely unexplored game. Edit: was holding back on commenting about the crown: I think your crazy. I get too many jester vibes. My flickering flames are all Bone Vis, though I'm a necro main at heart so I may be biased.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thank you friend. And you're COMPLETELY biased xD

[@rye42687]

Bone or Andy helm > crown graphics 100% 😂

[@bobnewkirk7003]

@@MacroBioBoi I'm actually growing in appreciation for the Great Helm aesthetic. I made my "temper" this season in one because it felt fitting, and the more I think about it the more I think Flickering Flame fits with it as well.

[@2listen2u]

Enchant demonmachine sorc has been one of my favorite characters even before 2.6 patch. I collected ravenclaw bows, with 7 of them i help other players level in tombs or cows. This way everyone could experience the fun i was having.

[@eh7602]

Top G, ravenclaw still my favorite leveling item

[@andrewcooke-hedin1903]

This was a great video. It's fun to see how excited you are about the build. Keep up the good work!

[@SuperZakaru]

Something I've noticed lots of people forget is that you can make a CTA in a staff, so finding a 3ES 5 soc staff will give you a level 5 energy shield while also having access to BO. Even better if you get ice or shiver armor rolled onto it or static field, teleport ect. this makes swapping to your eschutas or 6 enchant orb that much easier whole still maintaining a nice ES level.

[@MacroBioBoi]

I personally don't like CTA.

[@SuperZakaru]

@@MacroBioBoi yeah as a sc player I can see it as an inconvenience, I'm a hc player though, and personally I would never play this build without a BO

[@danwick8566]

I've never made an Infinity of my own, despite having played D2 on and off since 2001. It's definitely one of those bucket list items! Congrats!

[@rye42687]

Def enjoy this type of content. Way more relatable to the play experience of the masses. It’s fun to see super min max potential as part of a breakdown but I would prefer that as a small portion of an overall build guide

[@qaerkyr]

IMO the only way to make CHAM and ZOD reach its true value, is not by making some OP runewords (although none of the CHAM runewords is really comparable with Enigma or Infinity or even Fortitude / Grief), but instead they should implement a cube recepy for breaking CHAM into previous rune. Imagine breaking CHAM into 2 JAH rune and 2 JAH can further be broke into 4 BER runes (and so on). That indeed will make CHAM trully valuable as it supposed to be since its 4 times more rare than BER and approx 2 times more rare than JAH. It hurts my eyes to see trades making JAH more cheap than BER when it is twice as rare as BER.

[@simidachong9191]

Hey Mac, congratulations. You deserved these and I appreciated the unique content you provided from time to time. Cheers

[@MrSuxor]

I love the authenticity! Would that we could all have this experience! A build that you feel like you kind of discover and make work that's not overplayed. Discovering the joy of what diablo was for me and is supposed to be.

[@bluescreen3116]

Before the patch I would run an enchanted bow conviction(lvl25) paladin with almost similar results but that required 2 accounts laptop & PC. It's refreshing to play with only a Sorc now.

[@kyler133]

I think I would have really liked a more chronological version that showed each significant drop and trade to gear your character

[@MacroBioBoi]

That would have been cool if possible.

[@i_am_ergo]

5:04 Infinity rolls -45 to -55 on enemy light res. Did not expect you to make such a silly mistake. :D Congrats on your first pain stick!

[@MacroBioBoi]

Yep, meant to say 55. Brain heard the 45 and said "50" as to means 55. Rip to my perfect image.

[@williamgilbert997]

This looks like a great build. I miss the days of the bugged enchant sorcs. This build is a bit of a nod to that time in the game. Last season I gambled a coronet that could be bonkers on your enchantress. 2 sorc skills, 23 str, 20 all res, visionary mod, 9 life replenish.

[@Dartlin]

GG! It's not a mindset, it's a GRINDSET 😂🤣

[@D2Pilot]

GZ dude! Glad you finally got her finished. The build looks so fun!

[@Trillia84]

I live in Connecticut and have family from Boston to the extent that as a kid I thought “draw” was a synonym for “drawer” in addition to the artistic meaning before learning to read, yet this is the first time I’ve heard “Bo-toxic” lol. Great video; it’s a very strong and different-from-meta character and also a fun story of you and the character growing together in a way. Appreciate the educational content. Best wishes on your long stream/speedrun!

[@zero4915]

I didn't realize I wasn't subbed until you mentioned "Make sure to sub" I love the vids! I look forward to seeing more in the future.

[@poonami3169]

15.3k subs today a few weeks later. you deserve so many more though due to the deepest dives into the science of your videos.

[@RapSucksGoTechno]

I would agree with you on the crown if you could get her robes to match! But seriously though, amazing video. The first video of yours I saw was that runeword reveal and you’re already becoming one of my favorite D2 content creators. Off meta will forever be my preferred way to play games so I love to see a build like this shine

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thx fam

[@theonetrueg]

I've made a number of infinities and I NEVER realized that it also greatly reduces monsters defense... This is huge!! Does it ever make sense to use and infinity on a whirlwind/zealer/multi/strafe character? It seems like it would be a massive boost to your chance to hit, maybe even averaging out to more DPS then pride? Idk, I wanna find out though.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Pride is terrible on every build. Reapers toll is always better. But in most scenarios end game attack rating builds are reaching 95% chance to hit.

[@sherizaahd]

Well done! You deserve it! Especially since you're going to crush yourself trying to pacifistically beat the game tomorrow... At least you have this major accomplishment this week too, as another feather in your cap because you're totally going to crush it tomorrow!

[@demonbird166]

Spired helm is obviously the drippiest helm

[@Mike-om4tv]

My good buddy hasn't been on d2 since release, and this build got em engaged again. Thx 👍

[@jacobdhall]

Congratulations! I've enjoyed your channel since I found it a week or two ago. I've gotta try this out, well done man

[@michaelprinciotta9493]

Havent had time to even start new season but always enjoy your vids. Every once in a while gets a bit too technical but I hope your very successful feel like your take and input is important in a game like d2.

[@christophercarroll4467]

Love the content man. especially the enchant sorc build=] having tons of fun with it

[@TheSilv3r]

GG well done on getting this done and the demon machine sorc really pumping!

[@TopSecretGG]

Wholesome video Mac! Thanks for sharing

[@qaerkyr]

Most fun build I ever had is a Demon Arch Zealot paladin. When he attacks he looks like a an amazon using jab. I had Dragon Armor on him. Exile Vortex. He uses lava gout gloves for enchant, angelics, gore rider + guillaume face. Fana aura. Mercenary with infinity and might aura. Spawning all those hydras while attacking like a amazon. that is so fun way to use zeal.

[@tylerm8145]

Hell yeah brother am using a grand crown FF as we speak 🙂 100% peak aesthetic. I also really love winged helm, and tiara and diadem are pretty cute as well. BV and demonhead are FINE, but nah.

[@FinioVega]

Crown is peak glamour btw. so you are right on that.

[@Heavysmoker123]

This build is no joke those exploding bolts hurt if they hit you

[@ggWasNp]

Bone helm aesthetic is the drippiest. Cool build, I wanna try!

[@dadakmj]

I decided to make this ladder ssf and I hate myself for it.

[@Chrisnado91]

your best video so far. really enjoyed it :)

[@kahahabahaha]

I know this vid is 2 months old, but I like the Masks, I used to like bone helms more before D2R, since they had a slightly chunkier look.

[@MacroBioBoi]

One of us! One of us!

[@reyji6489]

what the **** Im looking at xD geeee, this is insane bro! :)

[@JordanBiserkov]

Everything is awesome, except you've made this build SO popular, it's driving up the prices for fire skillers and enchant pre-buff gear ;-)

[@MacroBioBoi]

Oofa doofa.

[@cokeicee]

i was playing foh day 1. found demon machine, saw the video preseason ladder and instantly changed.

[@SaulGoodman-w2x]

Diadem/tiara is my favorite helm skin.

[@briancurrie2897]

Use flawless,normal gems and chipped gems to roll your own magic orbs. I have had more luck with that then I have using pgems. This way you can gaurentee sockets on the items

[@MacroBioBoi]

Need certain qLVL orbs to do that and actually be able to hit +3 skills and staff mods

[@n-man87]

good call with the crown. bone head looks kinda wack in remastered imo I also have the currency for infinity for the first time but I'm actually too cheap to spend it... players 8 in pub games is too annoying/ inconsistent for me. and its just not really worth it for p1, is it?

[@BrianR146]

Love the build and video! My preference for helm for flickering flame is Diadem! I use it on my phoenix strike Assassin occasionally for Ubers/DClone

[@briancurrie2897]

Seeing how much fun you have had with the enchant sorc makes me wonder something. If they would give thunderstorm lightning damage on striking could take this to the next level without infinty.

[@andrewmiller8547]

Awesome video, love the build, have one myself that I built on NL (running Ormus and a FF diadem for the drip). Question: any reason you used a Fal in the VGaze instead of a PAmy?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Had a fal

[@TheWantedone]

just sub! good luck with your career!

[@chrislivezey5990]

Love the content. Also made this sorc on ladder… damn it’s a monster and I still don’t have all the proper equipment.

[@marc-etiennemercier6584]

to me the peak esthetics is the great helm

[@frankenstein3163]

live studio audience >_< Never thought about it.. but ya back in my lod days the bone looked the best. But I now have a crown and it look fairly sick. I all way's put static up fairly highs on my starter orb builds. LOL I have never made a infinity and cant remember on enigma.. I had the same pride problem on enigma :P I presheath you contribute and think you are underrated as a youtuber and source as maxroll is gg.. TY

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thank you very much!

[@Sweetguy1821]

Last ladder, I was surprised how fast I got my infinity with no trading at all. By week 3 I had an infinity and enigma solo self found. Only downside is I was playing 8+ hours a day lol

[@thefitstoic]

Yeah, HR are a lot more common now than it used to be when we were children/teenagers haha

[@FinioVega]

can someone explain why people say "we dropped this item" or "i dropped this loot" when actually the monster dropped the loot? the dictonairy isn't really helping me here.

[@MacroBioBoi]

These two phrases are used as the same thing. I made the monster drop the loot so I dropped it.

[@barneybarney3982]

Just imagine how much more fun this build can be if something like self-repairing arrows and bolts existed. Its main reason why i hate to play any bow/cb builds.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Just Telekinesis Bolts from the ground while picking up all the potions to see if a HR dropped. Was never a problem.

[@gilamesh3417]

What's the priority in gear, is infinity more important than a fortitude for my merc or improved amulet/rings/more skillers/res charms? Not sure what to do with my currency now.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Yes absolutely

[@pikip1ki]

Gz for that infi, wayyy better than mine 👍 I also found/traded most of my gear and was still able to keep rank #3 on druid ladder feels nice

[@MacroBioBoi]

Gg

[@OliverMichael7]

Incredible idea behind this character.

[@gstvntt]

Awesome and wholesome

[@PhilD211]

This looks so much fun and you can See it is for you! Great work put Into this Would a Brand runeword also work nicely or is the speed an issue and lesser chance to pierce taking away too much dmg?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thank you! Brand is a really suboptimal option for multiple reasons. Pierce foremost amongst them.

[@SiNpro88]

Man this DSG guy got ripped. Lol

[@dustinjames1268]

How do you get so rich? For weeks I've been grinding but haven't found any good loot whatsoever Been grinding hell andy/countess/shenk/pindleskin

[@markshephard909]

Looks like a super fun build. Do you think there’s a hardcore viable variant?

[@MacroBioBoi]

This is very hardcore viable. It's an energy shield build

[@sebastianbaus3097]

Whats the BiS Prebuff Gear? Is it the setup from your first enchant sorc video?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Yea

[@rongyuguo2417]

Congratulations! I am looking to build one for my offline ssf game and got 2 questions: - i was thinking to use kuko instead of demon machine to get 9f coz 11f is uncomfortable for me, keen to know your thought on the trade off? - with only sunder, flickering flame and infinity, I'm afraid the -fr isn't strong enough to farm 8pp?

[@MacroBioBoi]

You need to sacrifice so much of your damage and FCR to reach 9 frame with Kuko that it's not worth it. Then it still have bad pierce chance in comparison. It's strictly worse in every way.

[@RPDBY]

Is there a credible website to check item prices in terms of runes? I'm new and have stuff i think is worth something but i never trade cause i don't understand how to figure out a reasonable price

[@MacroBioBoi]

Traderie recent trades tab

[@SexyDex]

Tiara is the best helm look for the sorc

[@Sabrebadger]

I've been struggling making it past demon machine, razortail, and some bits and pieces, currently using a ptopaz tarn 4socket topaz armor, 2 nagels, anni, 3 fire skills ammy and random mf stuff. I can do nm cows easy, but not much else. 😭

[@CGAR_420]

Your Merc was already walking around with infinity before you rolled it lol

[@MacroBioBoi]

Look some editing magic had to happen

[@GuyInTheShack]

Could you possibly show a magic find variation of this build that maximizes damage AND magic find?:)

[@MacroBioBoi]

Just swap out charms for magic find. This build already rocks over 200 mf so putting more on starts getting a bit silly.

[@franz009franz]

also, my favorite helmet would probably be Great Helm, but i can live with bone / crown and mask. yes, mask. i like it :D

[@MacroBioBoi]

I like mask too. People hating on mask like they too cool for school

[@bogeorgiev259]

Bro what about War Gauntlets uniques ? DO you need the 20% cast for bp ? Btw I would love to see Paladin with a Demon and Fire Aura .

[@MacroBioBoi]

Yes you need mage fist

[@aaakitsune]

Diadem for all characters except the ma'amazon, where i want to hide the face.

[@osobaum]

Attaboy!

[@boba1mighty]

i REALLY dislike when people use a character editor or mods to showcase a build. a person may know their stuff but if your creating educational videos on a build, BUILDING the build and having knowledge of what it takes (what it feels like) to get to that final point is crucial. If i had one thing i could change with content around builds is that in order to showcase it, you have to create it. no shortcuts.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Yeah that sounds like a really personal thing and gatekeeps anyone who doesn't have the same amount of time as you from participating in shared spaces.

[@thomasdaniels6247]

Can u make a updated a5 merc video . There's a ton of debate on how they work, and ppl saying some of those bugs n stuff have been secretly fixed.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Maybe

[@DD_Quack]

Other chars: having 3 trees, have 3 or 4 builds which succeed in hell Sorc, Pal: each skill makes a build and every one of them rolls. And notice how expensive for a Ber rune today at like 3rd week into new season, still.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Barb has 5 builds, Amazon has 9 builds, Necro has 4 builds, Druid has 9 builds, Sin has 9 builds. Not sure what you're on about.

[@DD_Quack]

@@MacroBioBoi I want to say sorc and pal are the favorites kids for devs in my impression. No I don't play sorc and pal.

[@DD_Quack]

@@MacroBioBoi Would like to know what 9 builds Druid has. Wind, fire, summon, rabies, fire claw, maul bear, ok, let me know more. And how many can compare to for example tesladin or what you mentioned here, enchant sorc, even with high end gears? Can for example whirl barb or gold find barb clears 8pp easily?

Bone visage or spired helm FTW

[@MacroBioBoi]

The spires helm looks so weirdly on her little head though. That's why I don't rock nightwings ever, and it's definitely not because I can't drop one.

[@M0n0chr0m4t1C]

I highly doubt that the blue orb with +3 fireskills +3 enchant +3 fire mastery is much easier to find than a 6/40.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Yep

[@Fakeslimshady]

Sweetphil just did a video with a merc with 3 auras that all affect him, is that a bug?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Nope, that's how it always worked. Except the cleansing aura won't always be active because the merc can't always supply more than 2 aura's as buffs. I cover the cleansing aura synergies in my Runeword review video. Nothing new.

[@Fakeslimshady]
