Nice, not one wasted mod.

cuz jsp is not the only platform where d2 trades take place
a Ber rune only costs around $6-7 on a Chinese d2r trading platform these days
hundreds of professional "studios" or "workshops" exist in Asia (China/Korea/Taiwan etc), every single of them having more than 50+ machines running bots 24*7
you can program the AI and input the mods you want in a rare/magic item, so the bots will automatically identify rares/magics and Charsi those without valuable mods
my friend in Taiwan is running one of those shops and his bots collect around 50 high runes and 100 rare rings (although most of them are garbbage) every day

If they are botting why would it only be in Asia? Why wouldn’t everyone and their mother have bots like in LoD?

I somewhat disagree, Dex gives you that AR, but most people should be able to take care of their AR in Inventory vs a caster. Str give % additional damage. I think both stats are great for a Barb depending on who he is going against. I would take str vs caster and dex vs high-def chars.

This isn’t a matter of opinion

Dex > Str for barb fpk Ring. Barbs problem is AR, not damage.

It’s fact

Damn is that nice

After doing some calculations for low defense characters (around 2k), best case scenario you are going to get about .5% (probably less depending on your AR from the skill you use, and your targets defense) chance to hit from 15 dex as opposed to 20ED from 20 str. So, 15 dex gives approximately a 1% or less damage increase, depending on your chance to hit, were as 20 str gives you about a 2% damage increase, depending on your chance to hit, how much str you have, and the skill you are using.

The math favors str vs low defense characters (around 2k) when you're playing a barb. With a sin, dex 100% all the way since you get the AR and 75% of dex in ED.

Vs a high defense character (15k+) your chance to hit increases by about 1% or more, and since your chance to hit is much lower, that makes a bigger different meaning that 1% to hit increase is closer to 2-3% damage increase vs the same 2% damage from str.

The math favors dex vs high def characters (15k+) with a barb, in which case i would probably just use angelics anyways.

Fpk has shout bro


Sin has cloak and shout


This has been mathed to death for 20 years.

Dex > Str for bvc

Not to mention hit rate, even if less than damagw increase, is better than more damage.

Hitting causes fhr check. Not hitting doesn’t.
