Rare Items That Are Better Than Uniques or Runewords Options - Diablo 2 Resurrected

[@michelhartgerink]

found claws this season: +2 skill + 3 wake inferno + 2 light sentry +40IAS + 2 sockets :)

And which build would pay for that crap? xD

You could just as easily use Plague Runeword for +2 all skills on +3 LS, +3 Fade, + Fire Bomb claws, & use on another of the same for +10.

[@seang9450]

I love d2 videos about rares. Rares are the only reason I continue to play the game tbh. If you get the right one there are people willing to pay off your mortgage for it😂😂😂.

[@JN-hs5xl]

they should buff the rares so that they can get some other mods. Imagine if you could have rares with crushing blow or deadly strike

[@elgota753]

If u find a good rare u go straight to enigma

[@HenryHoe]

I love white bases, rares, blues and crafted. Just yesterday, I rolled a low quality sexton trophy into 2 dim vision, 3 raise skeleton and 3 skeleton mastery. Needless to say, I made a splendor out of it immediately. Jmod, 6/40 javs, jeweler of the whale, jeweler of speed. Eth Rare weapons with fools, cruel, self rep and 2 sockets Rare pelts, TRI res boots, TRI rest gloves, TRI res belt Crafted blood armor with 2 sockets and +life, res, str Crafted blood belt, crafted rings and ammys and crafted boots. And also craft javs with 5 jav, cruel, fools, increased stack size and self rep. All my favourites. I have 2 chars full of junk jewels and I farm countess all day to craft stuff.

[@imrebolcskei9015]

Totally agree with you my friend. I am life time SSF player and i love to craft blood items. CB gloves, Open vound belts are so good for melee chars. I also identify all rare weapons and blue armors. They can be really godly.

[@TrU-td6ml]

Delirium Rune Word is BiS for Druid/Barb skill helms bc it’s +2 all skills, so it also boosts CTA Battle Orders/Command & covers all skill trees, so it helps Druids using CTA as well…

[@patdeleva7072]

This is so true. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve sold godly godly yellows as a kid 😢

[@looter_game]

I love rare items. It's old school.

[@Itz_KLONOPIN]

Dude 8 identify almost every single rare I come across. And most people dont think about the fact that you can easily upgrade normal and exceptional rares so it's worth identifying things like rare crystal swords or nagas etc cuz you can upgrade them to PBS and zerkers to get a really nice item. For example I recently found a rare opportunity Short Seige Bow that rolled with chance to cast Amp dmg mod/cruel mod 300ed,17 dex, 9mana leech and I cant rember the rest but I upgraded it 2x into a Crusader Bow and it's max dmg is in the 400s.. I'll probably end up keeping it in my collection of sexy rares that I'll never end up using or aelling hehe… things like this are the reason i love playing this game so much

[@mrsquiggles1379]

Couldn't tell from your last vid lmao

[@edk3115]

If you're not already, give Classic a try. Huge refresher.

[@greatdestroyer1]

@@Itz_KLONOPIN and you can up crystal swords and dimensional blades into phase blades and they bug and roll without durability since phase blades dont have durability so you can up eth ones into some crazy rares and use the socket for something good instead of zod. Dont ask me how someone that I was battlenet friends with for two yearsripped off an insane rolled pb like this around 2004 ..........

[@Goldhead88]

Was gambling some Taloons and got +3 Assasin // 30 IAS // +3 Charge Bolt Sentry. Larzuk was kind enough to give me 2 sockets. I know it's not a lightning sentry but still pretty amazing :)

[@KSechrist]

Hey, Phil, have you ever seen a rare javalins with +1 warcries? I found it a couple days ago and hadn't ever seen that before.

[@bivdog]

Blue javs can get up to +6 on battle orders, great for pre-buffing!

[@pupechute]

@@bivdog Unless they changed something, I've only ever seen +3 Warcries on a Blue Jav/Throwing Spear never have I ever come across a jav/throwing spear that has specifically +6 battle orders on

[@NickAndCaroline]

You should do a video on the rares that you said this wasn’t a video about. That sounded cool.

[@jamesworkshop9181]

etheral replenshing throwing weapons are my favourite rare item type since runewords aren't an option to compete with them

Yo bro you streaming today? Idk if i heard you right talking about a friday stream last stream you had

[@d8l835]

Hey Phil, I think 2 of those trap claws you showed arent real. They look to have hit recovery mods...I don't think claws can roll that mid can they? They also appear to mimic mods to eachother...little suspect lol

[@phantomfreq]

I found a decent trap claw and sold it for like 825 fg back in the day before d2r.

[@nunosousa4689]

very valuable are weapons with fool's, 450% damage, ethereal, self repair, two sockets

[@pb34r46]

Hand wave game goin up every vid

[@zaug1561]

I'm sad you left throwing weapons off the list. Rare ethereal throwing weapons for the throw barb can get significantly better than the usual ethereal Lacerator and Warshrike. And on a playthrough the only unique throwing weapons are Deathbit and The Scalper which are very weak compared to what you can get with rares.

[@pupechute]

You're right about the rare eth javs but don't count Deathbit out. Its very useful with its deadly strike up into hell. You can also upgrade them for more damage output. I ran 2x Deathbits from NM to Hell and easily killed most stuff I came across until I upgraded to other BiS gear.

[@gamblegod-tc8yc]

Like the 15k zeal weapon that sold for that. 15 grand

[@Itz_KLONOPIN]

That's why I spend an soj per roll to reroll certain high lvl rare 7tems from certain monsters and use my imbues as wisely as possible

ethereal rare javelins are best in slot for throwbarbs

[@jeffsaffron5647]

I think that eth lacerator with its amp damage proc is better.

[@entarork1]

@@jeffsaffron5647 ethereal rare javelin + ethereal lacerator is best duo

[@pupechute]

@@jeffsaffron5647 Both of yall are right, but if it we're talking PvP, Eth Rare Throw Jav are BiS because Amp is considered BM, also considering some Eth Throw Javs can get up to 500-700 throw damage on the item itself therefore handing out more damage than the Lacerator w/ Amp combined anyways. Its all user preference really

[@entarork1]

for PvM eth rare jav + eth lacerator best possible dmg. There is no close alternative. Amp skyrockets the dmg, but first must have the damage - therefore eth ghost glaive with 200-600 dmg is ideal. I tried PvP with throwbarb, but problem is players easily avoid projectiles + 75% shield block. Unplayable in practical means, but I had my fair share of fun with it.

[@jeffsaffron5647]

like obviously this is a PvM discussion, I would agree that combing both will probably give you the most.

[@TrU-td6ml]

Plague is better than Rare Claws, bc you negate the facet jewels when using Loser Resist, and it allows you to use on ideal claw bases for item speed for traps.

[@cbreezy2449]

There we go Phil, we need more videos with rares 🎉 I’m not even going to go on how much money I spent on rares 😵‍💫 my main character being Assassin

[@golternator333]

Hear me out. Unique items are really rare. While rare items are unique.

[@lry8133]

Thought about that before myself, and while that's true, it's just a carryover from Diablo 1. Items with set mods were called Uniques, and there were no "rare" items, so they stayed with it.

[@Grisha...]

Bro, rares in D2 are the items that are exactly the least used options. The smallest bunch of item types that can be BiS on as many gear slots as possible are the rares. Uniques are mostly BiS on as many slots, next are runewords, next are set items, last are rares. You actually talked about this on some videos, also everyone knows it, etc. Why would you try to get your views this way? I really liked you... Also, the word 'melee' is pronounced "muhlii", not "mei lei". Sorry.

[@Goldhead88]

Karen

[@pupechute]

Yes and No. Sure, Uniques are definitely BiS, but like I mentioned to someone below this. Skills will only get you so far. Rares that can roll the Extra Resist, Life and FCR are 100x better off than most Uniques that can't roll them.

[@bivdog]

They’re the least used because getting all the rolls are hardest to find. But there’s no way set items are used more than rares. GTFO

[@Goldhead88]

It’s like saying That Lamborghini is less used than Toyota. Obviously, coz it’s so expensive that only few can afford it. 6/40 javelins or 3/3 lightning traps with IAS and 2os would be used more often if more people could find them/afford them lol.

[@pupechute]

@@bivdog Idk, my Sigon Set goes miles above some 6 point rare's

[@GorrnLord]

clickbait thumbnail. resist all ring with cast rate isnt better than +1 to all skills

[@pupechute]

Depends what you need. If I'm rocking -100 to all res I would much rather have that rare ring than +1 skills. Doesn't matter if you're doing hundreds of thousands of damage, if you can't survive a hit, you're screwed, and that FCR will allow a faster get away for Teleport. The Extra Point into TP doesn't really help other than decreasing its Mana Cost

[@bivdog]

Depends if you need to hit a break point or not 🤷‍♀️

[@RC-mt8om]

SoJs gets thrown away, while a good rare ring can sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars. You dont need to be very smart to know which one is better.
