Oh, let's break it down!

Well my keys are finally delivered. They added to my BNET account with no issues. So now I am downloading and installing the game. It seems to be going somewhat slow, but I'll update you when I am online. What is your account name and what realm?

Edit:

Installed! In as *ObscuritySA

Besides Obscurity and I, who is playing or wants to play? I can rush people now. Its best to get 24 first and then get 25 on ancients so you can go right to Baal runs.

Those are all d2hackit plugins and I'm pretty sure they rely on networking over a realm emulator to work.

The battle.net torrent clients aren't working for me, I just get a "download not authorized" message and it shuts down before I can do any sort of work on figuring out what's wrong. I just want to install d2:LOD and SC:BW :(

edit: figured it out. Had to open up IE and lower the security settings

Decided to play this game again, this time as a physical damager as opposed to a safe class like a Necro or Sorc. So I made a Fanaticism Zealer Paladin to try and beat Hell from absolute zero. Currently level 50.

I'm getting my rear end kicked so hard in Nightmare, I'm starting to have some serious doubts if I'll make it through Hell. The things that get me the most are magic projectiles and goddamn lightning enchanted bosses, I have no problems with masses of melee attackers (thanks Holy Shield). Got lucky and found a Skin of the Vipermagi though.

Any advice?

What are your resistances? Try to stock up on resistance charms.

Thanks mostly to the Vipermagi unique I found, which grants 30 to all resists, I'm sitting around 50-60 ish on all of them. Even with that, I find myself getting wrecked pretty hard. I'll definitely keep an eye out for resistance charms though.

As a zealer you probably have extra skill points, so I would look at investing in the resist lightning aura for the passive increase to the max lightning resist cap. Getting to 90% should make LE bosses trivial.

Also, making Ancient's Pledge (Ral + Ort + Tal) in a pally shield with natural +resist all should max you out easily.

Kind of, I guess? My build ends at around level 76 (20 Fanaticism, Zeal, Holy Shield, Sacrifice and prereqs), leaving me free to allocate as I see fit from then so it might be a little tight. I suppose I could delay Zeal a bit and invest some 10-ish points, maybe?, into it. I've also seen people suggest Redemption to level 5 ~ 8 as a quick "oh poo poo" heal button.

This is good. I'm actually on the lookout for socketed shields as I also had the Rhyme (Shael + Eth) runeword in mind, haven't found any yet though.

You can use the d2jsp forums for trading. It's so late in the season that poo poo is dirt cheap. That's unless you want to experience the grind by yourself.

Yeah, I hate myself so I'm going to avoid trading whenever possible. In other news, thanks game, I guess this solves my lightning problem.



e: Holy :lol:, I'm literally getting healed by Burning Souls.

Is the amazon skill fend still bugged?

In fact, was it ever? I heard it was, so I didn't bother to try it, but I just realized I don't actually know for sure.

It's still bugged and I'm told that it's always been bugged.

EDIT: Further reading suggests that there is a way around it. Don't hold down the mouse button while you attack monsters. If you click and release, then your amazon will dodge the attack and stop thrusting her spear. Click again to start another volley. You will avoid wiffing attacks, but you have to be more active in your play.

Does anyone have an inside scoop on when the ladder is resetting? I haven't really touched d2 since 2010 or 2011, but for some reason I want to play and I want the ladder to reset right now. Supposedly it should reset on the 24th or 2nd, but they haven't announced anything yet.
