I like the showcase. Phoenix strike is one of my favorite skills. As somebody who plays mostly SSF to Baal, this gear looks like hero-edited. Compliments on the persistence and patience

[@Spanxxxy]

Haha..ty, ty. In S1 I made one char, then a second gold find barb. For S2-S7 I always just perfected one character. It's usually really hard to make multiple chars by season end with the diminished player base. S8 I actually will have another character to showcase once I get a few more pieces, but it's coming together! GL!

[@ptakleo]

that armor is the wet dream of almost any LLd pvp'er outhere

[@arthurp.4272]

Love the content man . I started PD2 this week thanks to you ! And I absolutely love it

[@Spanxxxy]

Hell yeah..that's awesome! TY and GL!

[@MacBaza]

Favor PD2 content. I love that you pick up and ID everything

[@PAwader]

Nice video man. I just started s8 and started sin. What build do you recommend when leveling?

[@DarthKitty123]

Magic find does not affect Uber ancients since it isn’t considered a monster drop, more like a stash reward

[@maccase741]

Looks clean AF, glad you finished the sin Ulol out.

[@Spanxxxy]

Ayyyy ty, ty!

[@djTASS]

great man and a great guide! also, many thanks for the infi base and the ammy! ❤❤

[@DalonPlays]

Great video spanxxxy, very helpful!

[@bendotexe2572]

Every season since season 3 I think? I've ended up maining a phoenix strike sin. The most fun and versatile build in the game imo!

[@johnj1566]

Sick character. Happy days!

[@Spanxxxy]

Thanks, m8!

[@dominicjurkiewicz9047]

hashha the anni. So good. It's literally the same chance as a 59/20/10 - you got lucky!

[@PDTowels]

Damn I never realized they buffed ists either!

[@RobHilgefort]

Killer video, thanks for it!

[@Spanxxxy]

Thanks, m8!

[@martymarescobar]

gg build . I wish i liked playing sins but overall a great detailed video

[@NomisIsGozulike]

nice vid bro keep it up

[@Spanxxxy]

Ty, ty!

[@Nervii_Champion]

When you say 2.5, 8.5, 8.25, what is that measurement in price? Ber runes?

[@Spanxxxy]

HR values fluctuate, but these numbers have been pretty consistent for a while. um - .05 mal - .1 ist - .15 gul .25 vex .5 ohm .75 lo 1.0 sur 1.5 ber 3.0 jah 1.25~ cham 1.25-1.5 zod 2.5-3.0

[@Nervii_Champion]

@Spanxxxy ah, so the standard is Lo rune. That's pretty reasonable. I don't understand why everyone wants 2 Ber for a Jah in D2R these days. Ber and Jah are pretty much equal in value, Ber is needed just as much as Jah is to create the runewords needed to create a character. My opinion is that Ber and Jah are the most valuable and very close in value, and Lo is the 3rd most valuable because it is used for Grief and Fortitude.

[@mikeg3577]

Are facets worth the investment for this build?

[@Spanxxxy]

Nope. Not worth it since you would only benefit from the pierce iirc, but not the %dmg. You wouldnt be able to distinguish a difference in clear speed imo.

[@mikeg3577]

@@Spanxxxy thanks! I went with Phoenix Strike for season 9 after watching your video. It does not disappoint!

[@taiwandashcam2819]

those items are too godly

[@baronbad5907]

cool build!

[@M_Star49]

MAD AMMY!

[@georgemartinovic661]

question, where did u mf the majority of the 5000HR you used for this build? was it LOD content or map content? Is it that you’re just trading alot and trading anything and everything including magic items and bases u find?

[@georgemartinovic661]

especially with this stupid update they put with 40% less maps… Now I barely find them and when I do they are cold immunes and unusable to me and my char… what a stupid update that was

[@Spanxxxy]

Check out my how to gain wealth video where I talk through my process. Ultimately luck and time played will always be a massive factor, but my video talks about how to consistently gain wealth over time. Since making the video I've now experienced a season of corrupted zones, which is the only LoD content I play outside of maps. I'll do corrupted cows (save up legs in preparation), tal rasha's tomb (my favorite), arcane sanctuary, and chaos sanctuary. These are especially worth it with my nova sorc. LoD content without a sorc is mediocre.

[@Spanxxxy]

@@georgemartinovic661 I've never experienced a map drought before in any season, but what I can say is mapping to get more maps is a constant snowball that eventually you'll have more maps than you could possibly farm. At this point in the season if you have a preferred map with no cold immunes, then you could probably buy 50 of them for a vex.

[@georgemartinovic661]

Oh nice i will check that vid out. I just started the season a week ago so i’m real late lol. Thanks for your time man

[@georgemartinovic661]

To get to these builds with the BiS items that are worth 50-100HR per character… How often do you play in say a span of a week? how many hours a day?

[@Pxned]

I might have a claw you want

[@trubi16]

what summons the traps ?

[@Spanxxxy]

The shadow master.

[@mikkoitasalo8940]

Dont worry. I id 97% of all rares and alot of magic items as well. I just cant help myself (im also obsessed into poppables. Those fking jars will one day drop a ber i KNOW IT!)

[@Spanxxxy]

Haha..well, I've definitely had luckl with poppables..I have to open them up as well. With the nova sorc I recently made it has been amazing telekenesising everything, even the baskets in the sewers or tombs.

[@mikkoitasalo8940]

@@Spanxxxy telekinesis is so addicting :D i pop 95% of them no matter which char. I hope they make like aoe pop everything with skills or smth. Would be neat and feed my addiction!

[@jakubs.5966]

Oh yeah. Antiperfect :)

[@alexhiggins8134]

What’s toon for S9?

[@Spanxxxy]

Haven't decided yet, but leaning towards WW barb and possibly a dedicated uber zealer. Barb is the only class I haven't played on PD2, apart from a GF barb. How about you?

[@heidevolk_le_gueux]

We really need Mosaic rw in pd2 tho

[@konthoofd4]

Lol'ed at the anni

[@FrogWeed-q5v]

lol cute jah

[@martpd2]

this char is not "causal" :D

[@Spanxxxy]

Haha..to clarify, the playstyle is casual without too much stress of dying.
