[@starhunter2770]

So I’m gonna be honest here and say that most of these items are used, by a lot of people. Vipermagi can be used by endgame sorcs, or any caster for that matter, Tal rashas mask is used a lot by either melee characters or mercs, and especially treachery, sooo many people use treachery for themselves or their merc

Treachery is possibly the best/most common merc armor out there. Better items for the list would be like Naj puzzler (tele staff) or maybe ondals,Death runeword, shaft stop, poison. (Need my plugy infront of me)

[@chriswelcome8102]

I remember always having a Shaft Stop on my barbs... Was like, the thing to have lol

[@SuperZakaru]

Yeah treachery is the best in slot armor for Merc even over fort dps wise and even defense wise. Reason being is the increased attack speed allows the Merc to reach a super high atk speed BP as long as you have a fast attackspeed weapon like thresher with an andies helm with 15ias jewel in it. Also more atk speed =more life leech and fade gives massive damage reduction ontop of all res.

[@johnwayneasgenghiskhan4699]

1:37 actually never thought about upgrading my Vipermagi before. Great suggestion Xtimus!

[@peexee752]

Viper is probably one of the most used items in D2 LoD. Tal Rasha mask is HIGHLY used on Mercs until you get Andy's. Same goes to Prudence. Highly used on mercs. Angelic Ring+Amu is one of the most commonly used by every melee class when you do not have 100% ignore armor. Lower resist wand used by every single Uber farmer who does not use Dracs gloves. Lawbringer is the only decent weapon choice for A3 merc, and even sometimes used for A5 merc. Treachery is the 2nd most popular armor used in the Diablo 2 without nay doubts. (ESPECIALLY by Uber runners). It also very widely used on mercs. Obedience is GREAT weapon for every A2 merc whos class is not a spell caster. So, overall, half the items on this list are MOST used items in the game.

[@bodybound]

True that! Tal Rasha is standard for "Hell" Act 2 Merces, if you are lucky. Finding a perfect Viper, to upgrade it in Ladder, is propably one of the standard tasks, next to rolling for a perfect "Spirit" runeword. The "Angelic Set" is just an overkill of AR, until you can sacrifice it for better items or magic find.

[@jeremyburr8507]

I think you're confusing Lower Res wand with Lifetap wand.

[@Mordethphoenix]

Reminds me of my fire sorc back in the day. Used a Leaf Staff from act 1, all the way into hell. Unsure how the community thinks of it, but worked out pretty well.

[@ProstatePopstar]

Did the same thing. The +9 warmth (when made correctly!) was like having an insight, damn near right off the bat!

[@myscreen2urs]

When I was playing D2, I used a lot of those. This brought back good memories. I ended up giving law bringer and obedience to my mercs. Treachery was like one of the first descent runewords I made. I was building a hf bow paladin and the ias, fade and venom in that armor made my ranger shine... Until I swapped to a dragon armor, brand bow and dream helm 😁 haaa good times.

[@MultiUltimater]

2:48 I had a level 98 or 99 frenzy barb build based solely on dual-wielding lightsabers. Getting lightning absorb 25% on each lightsaber totals to absorbs 50% lightning. In other words, I'd take x lightning damage and then regain the same x damage back. I got to run really fast and do boss runs really very well. For the heck of it, I added enigma to help teleport to bosses quicker. I was thrilled when I came across someone trying to trade a ring that had high dual leech and faster cast rate, which they thought was a bad roll for barbs that don't have much use for faster cast rate. I loved this mod since it meant I could teleport faster in runs like baal. But yeah, I actually PREFERRED lightsabers over grandfather on the build I used to use. Although, if I remember correctly, my switch was a grandfather, or possibly something to help with more edge cases.

[@ChandleeStyle]

I love those items. Thank you for the validation and extra ideas

[@MetalCheva]

Vídeo editing: 9 Voice soothness: 8 Actual knowledge about these items being used or not: 0.01

[@jagoob]

Dang I've used all of these. Though I'll say cresent moons best use might actually its -35% lightning resist for any light char. And I agree with lawbringer at #1 but it's best use is on a merc to bypass physical immunes and increase phys damage especially for wind druid. I also agree with other posters this is more of a best budget list not a best but least used list. The best but least used items are probably an assortment of high end runewords that are great but extremely expensive and slightly edged out by items like grief botd faith and hoto. An actual list of least used powerful items would probably be more like this: Delerium Phoenix Stormlash Mang songs lesson Brand Ice Silence

[@rumcajs009]

Yep, crescent moon in Eth sword is excellent for light sorc. People were always asking me wtf is that in my hand when I was staying in town. -35% light makes a massive difference paired with Infinity on merc.

Talks about life and mana leech with Tal's Mask. Only hits undead skeletons and souls that you can't leech from.

[@slowrolltom1253]

Stone armor it's dirt cheep and turns your merc into a tank and a half (High Def)

[@kobe3576]

Just a quick note on "defense" that many, many people don't understand well. That stat ONLY increases or decreases the chance to hit the enemy, it doesn't allow you to make more amount of damage per hit or anything. So basically items with "ignore enemy defense" it is just a way of saying "you will always hit the enemy". Your attacks won't deal more damage at all. That being said, if you character has plenty of Dex (such as an amazon) these items are useless, at least that "ignore target defense" stat is useless, won't help you achieve anything extra. It is far more beneficial to use an item with +dex that with ignore defense.

[@MakutaBrainhax]

Basically all these items are used by many (except whistan's, because it's a total shit compared to moser), yet you call them "never-used" items? Really? Why not mention Duriel's Shell? It's awesome for it's resists, life bonus and CBF, but it's rarely used in endgame. Why not mention Nokazan's Relic amulet? It has awesome fire resist and increase max fire res pool, but no one uses it. Why not mention Duress runeword? It has good bonuses for attacker, such as CB, OW, FHR and decent defence bonus, and it's fairly cheap, but it's very rarely used in endgame. Why not mention staff with teleport charges (not Naj's one) that you can buy in shops? Why not mention "Bone" runeword? I rarely seen somebody using it. Most bonemancers tend to use HoTo, while Bone rw may provide more damage if made in good wand. Why not mention Smoke runeword? It has better resists than this shitty Prudence and significantly cheaper. Why not mention Naj's plate? It has a +1 all skills, 25 all res, + 65 life, decent defence and restores 45% (!) mana if someone hits you. Why not mention Stone runeword? It gives a tons of defence bonus. More than any other item in the game. These items are underestimated, not that all that you've listed.

[@BlaX613]

Bone is a Armor runeword, White is the runeword ur talking about i think..

Perfect upped Vipermagi is super solid! Using it a lot! And you have 0%! MF. Perfect to farm whites/greys.

[@izualno_oname7234]

As you might to know, for finding unique items need 100-250 mf, not more. In another case all rates of drop will be magic/rare because it is overwrite unique. In this case you can feel free to use other items with mf bonus, and get your ~170mf for farming uniqs. Also for farming runes mf is not working, so it is one more case for choise viper. MDR + fcr + res + def(upped 1k+) + 1sock - perfect choise, in case if you sorceress, because all other clasess need enigma :)

[@TLC420]

ya i find the MF isnt as important as having say 4+ players in the match and killing a boss, the more players the harder the enemies are which drops are way better, only way to find something like Tyraels Might is to have a full game of 8 and everyones MF, if you join some of the Baal run games going on now a days you will see ppl set up 3 or 4 bots all in the 1 game that are their chars so the drops are way better, random Jahs and Bers dropping in Chaos Sanctuary lol so over 100% MF isnt bad for your char to run for some small stuff in NM bosses, and public hell MF games are coming around more and everyone just competes for clicking the good drops

Why no mf? It is more efficient just to have alot of MF and collect whites/grey while you mf/level or during LK runs. The only time I have farmed whites was to get my eth thresher base for infinity and it took damm near as long as it did get 2 the 2 ber runes for it on my plugy.

[@Gunsnroses991]

Crushing blow and deadly strike on weapons on apply to that weapon

[@jeremyburr8507]

1. As Jim pointed out, when it comes to weapons, it doesn't stack. 2. You can have 100% Crushing Blow, but it's no good if you aren't also doing decent damage to finish off the last 5-15% health quickly. That said, you have to make Black in a Mace/Scepter/Flail, which means garbage damage. The only real use for Black is Uber Smiter, since weapon damage is irrelevant.

I always use vmage on my sorcs gotta have fcr and resistance, put a p topaz or ist in that good to go, I always use wizzes so resist is capped.

[@Ichitaka1988]

Hello ! Maybe someone already said it but the lower resist wand is affected by a malus in hell. So you don't get -37% on monsters (which could be awesome) but only -37%/5 = -7,4%. So it's not that OP and it's less effective than 7 Rbfs like you explain in your video. However, it can help to break immunity for monsters which have less than 107 resistance in one element where Rbfs can't break immunity at all. I would say that lower resist wand works well with some Rbf's.

[@chrisbingley]

I would add the class specific runeword armours to the list (Rain, Peace etc). For two low runes and a highish mid rune you can get a chunk of resistance and +2 to class skills, along with other minor benefits. They make a great stop gap until you can find something better.

Regarding Tal Rasha: Back in the day you couldn't buy mana pots, so mana leech was very nice to have and with some life leech you could potentially tank your mana up. Maybe that was the thought process, and then they released mana pots in the shop and it was redundant. That's my guess to why it has those stats.

[@Capnsensible80]

Sorc has enchant spell. IMO, they wanted to make melee or at least hybrid sorc an option but didn't know how to make it viable. Since life and mana leech require you to use physical damage attacks, it makes sense.

@@supercowgaming I would recommend a 2handed weapon for whirlwind. And duel swords for a Frenzy build.

[@Seven_Leaf]

Lower resist wands can be up to lvl 3 and it also spawns on daggers. It's a great item for an early ladder lite sorc before the bots find enough bers to make infinities cheap.

[@ProstatePopstar]

I've seen up to level 5 now! So strongk

[@thepawchoe2749]

I rock a sanctuary troll nest and a moser circle as secondary. My merc had tals helm and crescent moon for a while too.

[@emupike6]

I agree with what someone else said every item in this video is used regularly except maybe whistans and prudence and I guess doombringer...especially treachery and lawbringer, 2 of the best rws in the game lol

[@MrLocurito]

me with a 900ish armor vipermagi in my frost druid: am i a joke to you?

surprised he didnt have wizard spike in there

[@mauriceb2037]

Well, how to say this, i play hardcore and many items on this list i love to use, even as endgame gear. Sanctuary pala shield is great, though it it NOT the maximum resistances you can get (45 + 4*22=133), until i can find a Lo rune for grief, i certainly will use lightsaber on my uber killing conviction zealot, along with that shield and treachery armor, and merc wearing obediance + ebugged treachery (+kira) I also love having an oath sword on my berserk barb. Tal mask is a great choice too until i can find areat. I will certainly use viper + whitstan shield on a mid level sorc The only one i would not use is prudence, i will usually got for more resistances (smoke, gloom) , or more physical resistance (shaftstop, treachery)

[@TheOneTrueEfrate]

I use all of these pretty consistently in single player or when i played non rush/jsp bnet

[@izualno_oname7234]

Great, that lawbring you choisen for #1. Because many players never use it, and dont understand his power, even on hardcore. For being honest you might add some info for slots and useibility characters: 1) Paladin hammerdin, lawbringer in scepter 3bh/3conc/1+zeal || 1+holy balt - for hardcore, very safety vz dooms, souls, dolls, pindle. 2) Paladin hammerdin, lawbringer in a3 cold merc - for hardcore. (in this case you can use hoto + zaka, or forty scepter + zaka/spirit st) 3) Any class, in merc or on urself hero when you are poor, and wanna survive in hell. (you also can use it on swap hand, if you havent cta, for tele or vz specifyc location mobs)

[@timabel280]

I know on sc ladder nearly everyone doesn't use the items that they should they just follow bots around till they get some stuff to sell then get one item at a time. One of the worst things they did in my opinion was to add in reset tokens. And reset quests. Cause people used to get to max lvl and be like oh my char not as strong as his what did he do differently. Then decide whether or not to remake to become stronger. It Made the early and mid parts of the game feel alot fuller. And people traded allot more mid teir items to be strong at all parts of the game just incase they had to run their own ball or chaos run.

[@KritoSkywaker]

I play Perfect Drop Mod and Obedience on my now Nightmare ACT 2 Merc is useful. I used it on my Normal one too.

[@lolandahalfmullin2305]

I'm not sure about end game pvpers using angelics, there aren't many good melee specs to begin with and most still use teleport as their gap closer, so they get a lot more utility out of rare fcr rings, on top of that they can get some reaaaaally nice stats. Whispy's as well for light sorb... The only exception is bm chargers, and I guess wolf druids but I honestly haven't seen one do well in a while. There really isn't any competitive gear that gives melee the frw they would need to exceed the speed of tp. Its just a lack of melee having good gap closers, Dragon Flight on assassin would've been great if it didn't do next to no damage and have as much end lag as it does.

[@CoffeeAndBusiness]

Recently started playing this again. Is Battlenet still going?

[@SamanthaVimes177]

Yes but it's heavily botted, so use with care. Most people use mods, go to private servers like Path of Diablo or play single player and mod with things like Pluggy. But there are tons of people who still play we're just spread around.

[@BLAAZED]

All those "tips" are ancient common knowledge and many of the items and mods are totally useless hence why they aren´t being used. Viper - sanctuary - whistans - angelics etc. are still used and are classics when starting out ladder/hc or even for duels (200fcr/stack res/max block/max ar).

[@rumcajs009]

One of the most powerful items for light soso is Crescent Moon. Cheap as f... and gives -35% to enemies light resistance. Paired with Infi on merc is the best soso weapon as -35% gives a lot more dmg than +dmg on Eschuta. And nobody uses it.

[@niklaslojnik3562]

but almost every attack rating needed build goes for angelic combo so are they on the list? when they are used very often

[@Ger0]

1:28 "Vipermagi is comparable to Chains of Honor." --> lol

[@mitchellcassetta1051]

After he said viper I stopped the video and went straight to the comments, thank you all! You didn't disappoint me unlike this video.

[@hazardeur]

Yeah! Angelics not a commonly used item? This guy has no clue what's going on. There literally is NO Whirlwind Barb worth is salt WITHOUT it.

[@jeremyburr8507]

@@hazardeur not true. Most PvP barbs use Highlords, Ravenfrost, SoJ instead. Then, if they encounter a Din or BvB with stupid-high defense, they might have Angelics stashed.

[@hazardeur]

@@jeremyburr8507 Well, I was talking rather about HC but didn't make that clear. But yeah, for HC the gear you listed would be very expensive hence why many barbs still use angelics most of the time, especially for pve which is more prominent in HC naturally. For PvP and SC, I ofc agree to what you listed

[@lov.2.g]

Angelic ring and amulet is pretty common... Even viperskin also with talrasha mask
