With enigma its required to use 2x fcr rings. You could go 1 sling + 1 random fcr ring, but you're missing +1 portal then.
Hence the go-to has been;

Coven (+1 / 20 fcr)
Craft ammy (20 fcr)
2x Suicide branch (+2 / 100 fcr, 2 sockets allows protector's stone + resist jewel)
Trangs gloves (20 fcr)
Enigma (+2 / teleport)
Arachs (+1 / 20 fcr)
2x Slings (+2 / 20 fcr)
Anni (+1)
Battle command (+1)

Hence hitting 10 portal & 200 fcr


A huge difficulty I've had is trying to hork heralds when you get the messages of "You have drawn ire..." into "A herald is hunting you..." into a whole clump of 20+ dead bodies all appearing nearly simultaneously as you teleport around
which is neat enough for the drops but basically the only way I can identify WHERE the herald body is, is to look for rares/uniques among a huge clump. And with high item droprates (glitched) you basically have to use loot filters or they can be hidden
it really takes a lot of mousing over corpses to find herald bodies to hork, and if you're just holding down find item you're never really sure if you found the herald pack at all


I figured out at this point that it's just better to skip horking
You kill high density so fast
You get a higher herald spawn rate than on any other build
Trying to find the herald's corpse in this blood bath is just slowing you down

Also, I'm not sure about this one... but I have a feeling that find item is modified in this way vs heralds:
It only use the normal TC, not the special one for sunder. So you get the same odds as killing T1-2-3 heralds since it needs to drop a normal GC and upgrade it to unique, and not roll as a more common gheed.
So say you have 72% FI, it's only like killing an extra 0.72 T1-2-3 herald.
I may be wrong... if anyone has more insight on this lmk :)

is one sling ring enough with fcr ring (to reach 200 fcr) or are 2 sling rings mandatory ?

The guy I quote is the real hero here.
He's selling sling rings at normal price even if he's aware of the bug.
PM him to get yours

I have 3 sling rings FT for anyone in this thread who still needs them on SC

Some people won't let them go under 4-5k after testing the build.
Some people are even trying to not sell them, buy all on market, just to create scarcity and keep their farming advantage.

I could be wrong but I think with 2x sling rings the actual portal will open faster, therefore lessening the time before you can cast the next portal. But you'll have to wait to hear from the OG portal barbs


Oldest Portal Barb Veteran here
see my sig

No a 2nd sling ring does not increase the speed at which you can open/cast portals.
It simply adds +1 to portal instead of using a random fcr ring

Each portal skill lvl matters, cuz it's creating an exponential bigger kill zone
like goomshill explained here:
aoe is (2+0.33*slvl)*(1.25^(N-1)) for N casts
no mana cost for portal, but you need insight merc for teleporting around

ran into a player in a baal run who clearly hasn't gotten the memo.

Oh. Wow. Did not expect to be that long.

Maybe the records on "D2:R Discussion"?
