Good job, thanks for the write-up!


1. Don’t Just Run Random TZs
Use Worldstone Shards to terrorize whole Acts.
Recommended priority order:
Act 2 → Act 1 → Act 3 → Act 5 → Act 4

If you are interested, I can also post a deeper breakdown of the drop math and tier escalation logic.


So how many Herald kills (approximately) should we aim for in each act before terrorizing the next act? Or should we have a "clear the entire act" mind-set every time we want to farm latent sunders?

So they made warlock op and then locked sunder charms behind an event that makes them 100x harder to get ahold of...

I guess they really wanted to ensure everyone is on warlock during the new ladder season.

Right now it doesn't seem like an issue cuz everyone already had pre patch sunders...

But just look in the trading page of how many latent and crafted sunder there are and there prices.

This is pretty dumb idea to make sunder charms so difficult to get ahold of,basically gating off lesser builds even more and forcing you into op builds.

they longer you stay in the game the more heralds +4 you can kill. so yea i think ideally you should terrorize all acts and clear all areas.

btw i think they just should change it so that every herald can drop the sunder charms.

ok so just play on non-RotW ladder and farm non-nerfed sunders and transfer to rotw with level 1 mules? (or sell to rotw players if you dont known rotw yourself)

i dont think even blizzard is dumb enough to leave a loophole like this in the game. maybe im wrong though (they charged 25$ for a shit class 4 years after release and you guys all bought it like chuds)

they will either increase the rotw terror zone sunder drop rate or non-rotw ladder chars will eat good lol

fyi, quotes in the softcode files indicate a comment. that conditional formula you listed is commented out.
proof of fright herald dropping sunder: https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/comments/1r524pd/latent_bone_break/

also your noDrop math is a little off. for any charm, 1/238 is expected p1, 1/60 expected p7. math source is pavke

Fantastic, thanky so much for sharing.

I would like to add:
You can hold and use as many latent sunder as you want.
Renewed works like torch/anni you can only every have one on your character.
