Lol, you too? I have zero problems reading the text. And everyone seem to be able to read it. And only troublemakers complain just to make my life miserable. I will not change the text size, font or anything.

But what was the x 2 damage in panic state thing about? That i originally asked about.

I didn't understand much of the other stuff you commented on. I don't find the entire game monotonous, just certain parts of it, as i described. If i found the game monotonous, i would play something else. I am not one if these millennial spoilt children that have extremely short attention spans.


1: I need glasses.
2: I need another PC that is not 1gb RAM from 2010 using Win 7 Home and a monitor that is just larger than a Laptop.
3: JSP background settings on Default since I joined.

Yup, just don't bold that text.

Reapers toll might merc (don’t worry about shatter, double dmg is worth the < 1/10 shatter chance)

Double grief pb
Guilliams cham/arreat cham
Enigma
LoH gloves
War traveler/gore
Highlord
Arach
2x fcr ll ml mana rings
2x Ali baba ist or lem on swap

I personally like 37 fcr also for faster horking, but you could also use 2x dwarf star and string of ears belt

20 bo
20 sword mastery
20 find item
20 find potion
Rest into whirlwind

Mf/gf charms

saw testing a while back showing that reaper builds had worse gpm. I'd imagine it being even worse on a solo killer, considering you'll have mowed down half of council before decrep even procs

Testing by who ? :P

It’s just 1 hork loss out of 10 or even less mobs

And it will make both your merc and barb deal far more damage and deal with immunes you can’t even kill otherwise (bone break is just too slow)

Not to mention its just the 1 hork, you still get the initial loot drop so you don’t even lose 1/10

Even playing on p3 with reapers merc will be better than p1 pride merc

cant remember

1/10 corpse loss but I highly doubt it gives you a 5% clear speed increase. damage/kill time isn't an issue when you're using grief(s) on p1

Hmm but then playing on p3 would just be better if u clear that fast

But the extra clear speed is insane

They have 50% damage resist and 0 with reapers toll. So you deal double dmg vs anything with decrepify on it, not to mention the 33% proc chance with high ias guaranteed it pretty much

I guess you can just zerk the immunes tho so prolly doesn’t help much there

Not sure if this is correct, but isnt the amount of gold same p1 as p8?

Not sure honestly, it increases the frequency of drops so i assume it’s the same for gold, but could be wrong. It won’t change find item though that’s for sure

But I think pure gf is insanely boring, to save your sanity i would go for either hybrid gf/mf or just pure gf and let merc kill but only for repairs that route. (Can’t do more than 10 runs without going insane)

Its way faster to self kill.

I think record is 13mins 0-10 mill, there is a vid somewhere of it.

Merc killing barb is nowhere near this



But yea its a bit boring 😄
