I was brand new at diablo2, my friend decides to give me three runes and says put them in the armor. He didn't tell me which way to do it so I went "Jah, Ber, Ith". After doing so I ask him "what do I do now?" I haven't heard from that friend for 12 years.

My buddy, known under the name Tonepallu on USEast, used to make runs with his buddy Marty(frost sorc) and keep up with enigma on his merc, swapping it at boss fights. His setup was dual-wielding EBOTDs with a full Immortal King set(always tried to get the best stats around on his sets also) casting Frenzy. If I remember correctly he had some type of rare amulet and/or rings that'd give him more attack speed also. Needless to say those days were freaking epic!

For example if my barb is in act 5 hell and sorc is act 2 hell. My barb makes the game but I cant go to act 3 without getting the quest done with my sorc and if I do the quest then it wont be bugg. I know the trick for act 1 is talk to the guy who tells u to go to east and its bugg right? what about the other acts? Thank you again for all the vid and great info. Love the channel

Question for you- do you remember what allowed some ethereal items to be indestructible when they otherwise shouldn't have been? My memory is hazy, but I believe that any eth item him that had a Zod rune in it in patch 1.08 was permanently indestructible even if the zod was removed once we hit 1.09. Obviously this was extremely rare(and I doubt any of these items still exist at this point), but it allowed you to have some eth runewords that were indestructible, which was quite valuable.

Agree with the list, all good end game words. Playing SP Sorc and hoping for enough runes to combo Enigma-Sanc, take the points saved in strength to put into Dex for block so I'm not sacrificing Vit. Very expensive, I know. Immunities are a pain in Hell.

@BetterDoneGood2 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately in your case it’s way harder to get a Lo in NM as you’ll be crafting for ages. There is a chance of a Lo from Hell countess but that relies on good RNG. Best advice to get you ready for hell is lots of Pit/Baal runs with some rune farming in Lower Kurast and countess to get some good rune words for either yourself and your Act 2 Merc. Also consider doing a respec to ensure that you have enough attributes to run gear for your build then dump a lot into health and your most used skills. My current Assassin is running 200+ in health at lvl 80 but resistances are a huge thing in Hell for yourself and enemies. Good luck.
