dear diary
today I took a couple hours nap and missed tz tal tombs
now am pissed off so just ran that last 20mins of tz halls of pain/anguish/nihl temple
but now it says tz wsk/throne/Baal in an hour so am less pissed off
anyways, about to hit lvl 98 on the new hc char in few hours (currently #34 sin), after RIP on that first ladder week at 96, took a whole 2 weeks break, installed arch Linux, played for a bit, stable af then 3 days ago changed the stock CPU cooler to
Noctua NH-U12A and now CPU temp been constant between 38 - 45 Celsius instead of the previously 88 - 95 Celsius from the stock one
running browser, music, P7 only (well did P8 when chanted but then only P7)
literally maybe a single crash once every 2 - 3 days and never while I was playing and not a single D2R with the nohd mod crashed so far, only the one that dont so far lol
when hitting 99 ill prob try to speedrun an other one from 1-99 for next ladder practice still, wanna make sure can get it done under a week since now finally got the proper gear with griffon so at clvl 97 finally could start playing with light sunder as well and the 2nd PS charge instead of 3rd one
merc giga banger as well:
- upped Guillaume's face with 15ias jewel
- upped Rattlecage (non eth for now) with 15ias jewel
- PB Lawbringer
- 1 off perf ED Plague in the Eth Mythical Sword 15ed/1ar found during first ladder week
took off dracs and currently on 65fcr breakpoint, belt is dungo, sold 30@ Mara that didnt use cause found a 10fcr/16@/53lightres amy so that with ravenfrost and a 10fcr/lightres/lifeleech ring
no skillers GC, only 15@/lifers & 5@ small charms with torch and found 20@ anni this morning
also wanna benchmark:
Merc #1: lawbringer, rattlecage (15/40'd), guilli (15/40'd), plague eth myth sword
against:
Merc #2: last wish (jah, mal, jah, sur, jah, Ber) PB, treachery (shael, um, thul), gulli and plague
both seems to be giga banger, prob will keep the first one tho
edit:
If you value your time don’t play hc
