[ElCount]

Whattup, I used to play back in like '04 (i think) at my boy's crib, but I only could play during summers.

I got it on my computer again (v1.1 I believe), my friend lent me his discs and I got some hacked CD keys, the only thing is with hack CD keys you cant play battlenet which sucks...

I got an assassin right now, she's like level 69 or so...Just made it to Hell which is hard as fuck.

You guys dont hack right? Cuz I cant stand hacks, they're so intricate and freakin cheap it just takes fun away from the game cuz everybody has dope shit.

Anyways, right now I'm gearing my gurl up to make it to Act 4 by thanksgiving, cuz come thanksgiving I'ma play with 2 of my boys on the same network and we will beat Hell together.

T-Rade I will prolly bother you in this post every week for questions on D2.

Firstly what's deadly strike and what's it do?

Secondly wtf is everything Rudra said?

[T-rade]

deadly strike is - deadly strike, if you got 100% deadly strike, monster die from one strike... Simple

but so far i got a bowazon - with eagle and loads of crap, eventually want to get the fanaticism bow

a light sorc with perf viper/+3 eschu/lidless etc - pvm build

savin up for a hammerdin

i got 3 ists - gettin some more and hopefully make an enigma to spark of a nice hammerdin for pvm/pvp


ist is a MF (magig find) rune. enigma is a runeword (special runes crafted into a socketed objecyt in the correct order (some stuff, like the enigma) is evil!) a hammerdin is a paladin that uses a hammer, and Pv means Player versus, and then M is monster and P is player. (Pvp Player vs. Player)

Light sorc is a sorceress with ligting skills.

Bowazon is an amazon that uses bow....


And no, I don't hack or play open battlenet.

And good you replied in here El, reminded me I need to get the game back again!

[ElCount]

Thanks for the information man, appreciate it, I gotta step my D2 Knowledge game up lol...

[ALIANZ]

OMG people still play that shit? lol

I remember I bought the battle chest that came with 1, 2 and LoD and the strategy guide for 2

I havent played that shit in a LONG time

P.S. Fuck Baal, he's a bitch lol

[T-rade]

What type of Assa do you have? Martial, trap?

[ElCount]

LOL at the Baal comment I laughed too cause he's such a pussy compared to his minions...

At Rade, when I first made the assassin I never played with an assassin before so obviously I made naive and simple mistakes. My plan was to put a skill point in each skill, and when I reached the highest level skills that's where I would dump the majority of my points.

As I learned the hard way, traps suck ass for the most part, I coulda saved alotta points if I never put any points into traps.

So I got a martial assassin, I mostly use a combination of phoenix strike and dragon kick, and I often mind blast when fightin alotta enemies that just surround and outnumber me. I dumped most of my points into shadow master and phoenix strike, put like 15 points in each, and i think like 7 into dragon kick. the rest of the skills just used here and there.

Btw you beat hell before?

I'm still in Act 1 and keep getting killed lol, can't gain no experience cuz they take like 3million XP in hell each time you die.

with my old barbarian I'm at Diablo in Nightmare I think, or Baal, and it was a character character (based on some dude in a comic) so he got 25 in swordmastery (which is stupid, but the guy in the comic is a god with a sword).

But yes, I've done hell, on battlenet tho where I got help (and then later (at a really high level) I started doing it myself).

But just do nightmare runs, kill every boss in nightmare (or those you can (meph and andy are good choices)) and then get 3-4 lvl's that way.

And traps (if taken correctly) can be a killer, you just need to run fast then you can kill 5 hell bovines per second (that's what I did with my old trap assassin).

[T-rade]

I might buy the game tomorrow

[ElCount]

Cool.

So what's the strategy when you use traps? When I used them, I just set traps around all the monsters and ran around killing them occasionally. I think Death Sentry was the only one I used though.

I been doing Baal runs in Nightmare so far, I think I might switch up bosses I fight like Mephisto and Andariel instead cuz Baal is mad stingy, he never gives me any great items. I even put on all my magic find on, I have like 161% magic find and he still gives me crap items.

You don't really do baal runs for mf, you do Pindleskin.

And in NM, as I recall Andy and Meph gives best. But give me two sec, then I'll hit you with a link

Hey El, I hope this'll help you: http://extreme-gamerz.org/diablo2/viewdiablo2/itemguides

And for MF, you need at least 200% before the chances of getting anything good is big...

But let me ask something else, you play battlenet?

[ElCount]

No like I said I used a hacked CD key for my LOD expansion, I think that means I can't play battlenet right?

In any case I haven't tried ever since I installed it, I only got back up on D2 like 2 months ago so I'm not too hardcore with it.

Props on the site by the way.

It's worth a try... And besides that, the game from new costs around 20$ or something. We could make a N(a)SF(orum) crew in it, lol

[T-rade]

Here's a good guide to a trapassin: http://www.diabloii.net/strategy/x-articles/trapper-rahbandit.shtml

[T-rade]

I'm on battlenet now: T-rade as usual as my nick

[ElCount]

Yeah that'd be dope if we had a Nasforum crew on D2 lol...

I hope they make a 3rd one...my friend told me it was in the works but it's been years out since D2 came out so I dunno about our luck.

[ElCount]

[T-rade]

Nope, your account name on battlenet.

[ElCount]

Haven't got on to battlenet as of now, and I can only play D2 right now when I go home from school on the weekends so I'll have to try in a week, not even sure if I can play battlenet right now.

Oh, okay

[T-rade]

Here's what my single player barb got:

IK helmet (with 2 perfect topaz)
String of Ears
Bloodletters
Chance Guards
Smoke (runeword armor NefLum)
Headstriker
eye of etlich
and some other random stuff for rest (also 3/4 of Isenhart just for fun)

[ctanner1435]

d2 is where its at, i been playin it since 6th grade, and i am now a sophomore in college. I have a lot of chars over the years, but it took me a long time to make the perfect char which i believe i have now. I got a level 83 paladin which is in the 3rd act of Hell. He uses the crown of ages, Aldurs rythm, Aldurs shell, Dragonscale, and some unique gloves and boots that i cant remember. I have everything upgraded to the Elite form, and stand at about 15k defense. When i pair up with my boi whos got a Barbarian that is off the chain it jumps me to over 20k defense. Basically we can play on hell and trick the game into thinkin that it has 8 players in it which ups the difficulty, and therefore presents an actuall challenge. Keep lettin me know what you guys got, too bad i cant get on bnet cuz i got a hacked key.

[T-rade]

Got Goldskin
Raven Frost
Salzabi's (the helmet)

Now too, and added a skull to my headstriker (lol) and my merc is using a Razor bow with 4 perf. emeralds so that 400 poison dmg.
