Seems like d2r is a great pvm game. Ladder isn’t active and a bunch of noobs who are casual play d2r. All the pros are still playing lod and we should hail them and their trophies oh and make sure you click and not hold.

I can feel the irony in your post. If d2r makes you happy that's great. It's like some man like woman and some man like man - different needs/taste.

D2 has survived 20years and the fact I started again playing after 15 years break is crazy. Not sure someone will play d2r after 15 years- the fact the game lost 3/4 of its own players (according jsp forums where the majority of players are) in only 3 months is proof that blizzard fucked up again.

On topic : zvz is great

Zealer vs. Zealer Exile GM

I'm having a tough time in D2R thinking of a setup here thinking I need more AR.

EDC, Shako, SS, Exile, Dungo, Angelics, 20 IAS Gloves.

The only alternative I see is Viso (ber), Cham'd Levi, Dungo. = DR 48. Any other potential setups?

Have you tried shaft/visionary/edc? Shako setup will have around 22 or 23k ar and vis 25-27k depending on level

Dark just to let you know that the ebug does not work in Resurrected. I tried the cube socket recipe and the defense on eth armors and shields stayed the same. Asides of that those ebugged exiles still exist on the original game. Not sure if the cube recipe still bugs on the original LoD or not. My old CD key is messed up and now I'm playing Resurrected.

Yeah I heard. So exile is back to 1.10 style and eprud will be a lot less effective. Lame. Should still be fine in lod though just not d2r.

I don't mind it to be honest. I guess Blizzard is trying to balance the game even further. It really doesn't bother me too much but if they decide to do a new cubing system and bring back the 1.5 defense for eth items I wouldn't mind that either. Imagine if this ebug also worked for eth weapons. Let me attempt some calculations involving weapons.

Any changes or substitutions we would suggest with a setup like this? I haven’t played it a ton but it did win maybe 10 out of the 15 duels I did real quick the other day.

Perfect Eth Runemaster (Zod, Lo, Lo, 2x 40/15)
Leviathan (40/15’d) 17xx/50/25
CoA (2x 40/15) 395def 15dr
20ias gloves with high dual stats
213 Gores
40/15/139 Verdungos
Angelics

Usual charms/exile/Eth Alma

Seems fun. Anyone ever go this route?

The cc setup on page 1 is similar but uses edc and steelrends. I like erm but I think edc is better due to more ds and -def %.

CTA. Is Spirit the answer 100% of the time or is it worth reducing BO by 2 and adding 2 to HS by using HOZ?
