Has anyone tested a full game of portal barbs portal barbing yet?

I would try it but I dont have any friends...and I fear the glitched loot won't be worth melting my integrated graphics card.


i would be worried about potential data overflows tbh

Ok this opened my eyes on not only how to achieve an early ladder build, but on how to abuse an even bigger death zone.

Replace enigma by viper.
sure you lose 1 skill, but you gain 30fcr
This makes it possible to replace the 20fcr amy by a rand mara, and 1 of the 2 sling ring by a soj/bk.
So this ends up with +1 to portal, at lvl 11, still 200fcr to be able to glitch them.

But you can also keep the 20fcr amy, the 2nd sling ring, and instead, replace the 2 suicide branch by 2 hoto for another whooping +4 to portal.

Initially I thought the radius of the death zone created by glitched portals was just scaling linearly. But it’s exponential.
I just tried it with max lvl and now the death zone covers an area as big as entire lvls of cata/wsk or even full tombs.
And with a bit of practice, I can glitch portals with a single double cast, resulting in full area clears in less than 0.5s (but you still need to tele around to pick up drops)


Its true after a few seconds of holding down portal I'm effectively seal popping in chaos in any area. Everything dies, but keep in mind you're still doing this with enigma- enemies are only instantly dying to ~3 screen radius at the same time which is huge, the rest are dying as soon as they (attempt) to load in as you teleport around the map. Which is great for farming heralds now, but without enigma it will be slower

but also like I said I already found a Jah AND Ber this ladder among numerous high runes and thats not counting trading. And I didn't grind almost at all. I think if you did cow runs with the glitched drops you'd have an enigma on day 1-2 of ladder and not need to care about the budget telestaff setup

and if you do trav like I said I maxxed out gold in my stash in a couple minutes so about 4 runs. Telestaff is basically infinite, but limits you to chaos, baal, cows, etc smaller areas

For TZ popping we should theorycraft. What are the interconnected map areas with most champions/uniques and how many portal casts to cover max area? Like Sins says its clearly an exponential AOE so maybe the difference of level 10 vs 8 portal is just 2-3 more casts I don't know. But lets say you exit act 3 via the town entrance and cast portal for about 20 seconds. Then once the game starts to lag- its very obvious and you might hear your GPU fan kick into overdrive and D2r gets choppy- release it and start to teleport up the river

Champs spawn mostly in your path as you teleport due to D2s spawn mechanics. Dont need to cover both sides of river, in fact stick to a wall to minimize spawning out of your sight range. You should be able to make it all the way from town to travincal in one map and that final TP will stay active with aoe in the billions, it won't despawn until you leave the 'area' because its aoe keeps it active even as you move to other maps, as long as they are connected.

Only real limit of farming this way is danger of permanent damage to your computer. I think you'd want to carefully set gpu throttling / shutdown temperatures and you might crash several times setting up a game. But you could avoid losing A3 shards if you don't crack them until you start teleporting

/e of course you could just play it safe and only portal enough to kill for a few areas at once. Maybe you reach flayer jungle and enemies stop dying so you stop and reset portals for a few seconds and carry on, do it again in kurast bazaar
