Have you seen that Dbrunski is back from the dead? Someone cubed his leg with a scroll of town portal and brought him back to D2R streaming 😂

[@theicemanye]

yeah i have :D

That Dadbrunski comment was pretty good. I thought, "Oh damn, he got old" lol

My brother in Inarius, that shield has a picture of a castle on it. A sanctuary if you will. Dare I say, a Gerke's Sanctuary. Many blessings to you ice papa.

MDR applies to each type of element separately, so an attack dealing 20 magic, 20 fire, 20 lightning, and 20 cold damage would deal no damage if MDR is 20, quite toad i must say. When an attack deals both magic/elemental and physical damage, and Magic Damage Reduction (MDR) is higher than the magic damage, the excess MDR is applied to the physical damage after Damage Resist (DR) is calculated. So this is good for a melee boi that is say lightning enchanted. For example, an attack dealing 100 physical, 50 fire, 50 lightning, and 50 cold damage to a target with 100 MDR and 50% DR would result in no fire, lightning, or cold damage and 50 physical damage. After applying the excess MDR (-150), no damage is dealt since 50 physical damage is reduced to zero. On faster ticking missile attacks like fire wall, demon inferno, arctic blast, Diablo's lightning - the effectiveness is reduced to 1-2/25th of what it usually is.

When you yell “welcome” - I used to think you said “wake up!!!” lol which cracked me up, but now I hear the wake up every time now even tho I know it’s welcome 😊

[@theicemanye]

[@holistic_holidaze6469]

i heard wake up driving to work to and yelled wake up myself

[@smalps-gaming]

Yea MDR applies to Magic dmg as well as Fire, Cold, and Light. The MDR in excess will apply to Physical if there is no more MD to reduce. Like if a monsters attack is both Fire + Physical. It is only applied right at the end after every other DR source, so its really not something to worry much about. For trav, I would try to add wisp over the 2nd Dwarf.

[@miquelsubira3076]

This + the quadruple healing, inmortal, prayer, prayer, cleansing and meditation

[@ryanhatzenbeller4327]

You can swap some of that stuff out for more absorb and still have maxed out resistance

You need a prayer merc with cure and Insight for the heals and youd probably be unkillable haha

[@zedhudson]

Redit and all those other 100% accurate sources... LOL - Love it!... K, need to watch the remainder, but what an opening :). In addition, I also much dislike the CTA bull... not one of my characters utilizes CTA (it's a crutch for a poorly made char/more-likely-the-operator(s)-of-such) when so many better swap options can be utilized to make the character work/"viable" in less favorable conditions/circumstances... like, if CTA was never implemented, would we really use/want/need Sunder charms ? IMO, no, because people would carry swap gear to deal with "stuff".

[@theicemanye]

lolz thanks

Since blizz is already making changes to d2, they really should just update all the tooltips and descriptions regarding the "magic damage" debacle to accurately reflect what is going on.

yeah they def should

Imho even in 8 players, he looked fine for quite a while (couple of seconds), until he got hit and cursed. Curse + extra strong is no joke... For trav I'd go with treachery and very high defense, 2x dwarf/1 dwarf+ravenfrost (cannot be frozen or put cham in corona and lose 8%DR). Rest is okay, but instead of +5% max resist from skills, I'd prioritize maxing shield and defiance (both increasing defense). High char lvl and defense would mean you get cursed fewer times. My point in summary is: you already have enough reduction in all available slots, except defense (which isn't really useful until you get everything else decked like you did here). Can't say much about the MDR thing, but AmazonBasin should answer it how and when you should max MDR on gear.

[@cvasirocket1401]

Any evidence that would support a hypothesis that Amazon char can equip 3 rings?

[@pires11d]

Also, you could use Stormshield instead of Gerke's... Isn't it better?

[@redenici]

Doesn't need it because is already above phisical dmg reduction (50% is cap)

[@TimJBucci]

Perhaps replace the Ber's for Jah's, sure.

[@pires11d]

@@redenici i know... I was thinking of the increased block rate or faster block speed actually, maybe that weird moser's unique shield or whitstan something could be good. And even better, you could use Swordback Hold for +50% chance of open wounds 🩸

[@redenici]

​@@pires11dalready have block parameters increased in chest 😊 This shield is used for mdr and flat dr and both are huge deal

[@JoeBizzle]

Casually putting Ber runes in all the sockets.

[@huansun1016]

Apparently the damage u got is from physical, not elemental. As long as being cursed with amplify damage, no one could be invincible

[@8888disturbed]

u need flat absorb to heal yourself from elemental. % absorb not heals u. u need rising sun amulet, or phoenix shiel if u wana hydra heals u

[@jerberus5563]

Venom Grip gloves will increase the PRes by another +5%, as you well know. XD

[@theicemanye]

didn't think about that thanks homie

[@jnf1283]

Wouldn't smite be a better option than zeal? Your attack rating is very low and smite always hits (doesn't require attack rating whatsoever). Your damage with zeal is mostly benefiting from the Grief and Gore Riders, which smite would also benefit from equally. Personally, I wouldn't run zeal with less than ~10k attack rating. If you also added some 3/20/20 small charms it would help a lot, but I see this as being a really strong Diablo clone/Uber Tristram farmer budget option using smite rather than zeal for clearing normal areas while taking little damage? As a side note, I'm pretty certain your assertion that MDR applies before resistances is true, because the 'immortal energy shield' sorceress stacks MDR as well and I think that Cooley might have mentioned that (don't hold me to it though, since it's been a year or two since I watched his video). Also, I've noticed that elite monsters with the 'magic damage reduction' modifier seemed to take noticeably longer to kill with my elemental damage based characters than other elite monsters, so I'm pretty sure that you're right about it applying to cold/fire/lightning damage.

[@redenici]

You can't critical with smite and he has like 70%. Also, itd is great for zeal. With high level you don't need too much ar. Adding sc 36ar or gc with 100+ will helps a lot for ar so there is a room for improving

[@jnf1283]

@@redenici Fair points. There's definitely an argument to be made by having the 'ignore target defense' on the Grief and not needing as high of AR, but smite *always* hits. It requires significantly less investment and does the critical strike damage really make a significant difference when he's dealing so little (~800) zeal damage to begin with? That's also why I mentioned the 3/20/20 charms, aside from the poor attack rating, because that's the only way that zeal damage is going to be halfway decent. I would argue that the crushing blow is doing the most work here and smite will make better use of it when every hit lands.

[@redenici]

@@jnf1283 is not 800 dps, is much much more, because of grief flat dmg is not calculated. Max dmg charms is not a big deal, grief is like +400min +400max dmg. Also, grief have -%td for champions and bosses and he plays without merc, and he can take blessed aim merc with infinity to low defense and increase ar. There is a lot of quality of life improvements in this build

[@Disregardyourstruly]

​@@jnf1283 When using Grief, the hidden damage is more powerful than what shown on the character attack damage stats.
