OH SNAP! Diablo 2 Ladder reset 6/25!

I've been playing pretty hardcore since the reset, currently at lvl 85, snagged up a Homunculus and Annihulus. However, I've got a final tomorrow evening, so I won't be on for a bit.

Aside from that, we should get everyone to Hell, then set a meeting time for some baal runs or world events. The only downside to this so far is that we have to wait for everyone to reach a level that we can meet up and go questing together. Just takes time.

That being said, each CAG should report their current status, and the OP should update the first post to reflect this.

In a related note, I'm looking for the following Necro equipment:
Helm: Harlequin's Crest
Armor: Jah + Ith + Ber (Enigma Runes)
Belt: Arachnid's Mesh
Boots: Marrowalks
Weapon: Ber + Tir + Um + Mal + Lum (Beast Runes)

Merc Gear:
Weapon: Cham + Sur + Io + Lo (Pride Runes)
Armor: Guardian Angel
Helm: Andariel's Visage

I think I made it to like 10, went to cancel WoW and found out it renewed that day, so I'm getting my monies worth of WoW for now.
 
I propose that all CAGs meet up sometime Friday night in the CAG channel, and I'll rush everyone to Act 5 Hell as best as I can :)

[quote name='Kayden']Charged bolt, meteor or blizzard?[/quote]
I'm rolling meteor for some meph runs. Need that phat lewt. Don't know if Charged bolt is still good, I've seen some lightning sorcs before last summer.

Think I'll try to put some time in tonight.
 
I'm lv 76 or something like that....havent been too hardcore, but I've gotten some nice farm runs.


I'm desperately looking for a Monarch shield, 4 open sockets or no sockets at all.
 
Well, played some more lately. Mostly mfing. Found some good stuff. However one instance after getting a mara's, a person wanted to "trade". When I made a game, the guy asked me to drop it and pick it up fast to verify if it was legit. (luckily I wasn't born yesterday)

The people on diablo can be such douches.

Heh, hilarious. Yeah, things have changed quite a bit since the game first came out. I still remember the glory days of stealing accounts with something as simple as:

BlizzRep: "Were giving away free Stones of Jordan in this month's Diablo II contest! To enter, /w *BlizzRep with your and the winner will be drawn by June 30th!

lol, I had about 5 sheets of paper FILLED with accounts/passwords. Mostly newbs, but quite a couple of good accounts as well. I only lifted the good items from the account, and never changed the pass, deleted characters, etc. That's just total douchbaggery right there. :)

I'll be on DII after work today (and a final).

My Sorc is level 80ish. Last night I did a series of 30 NM Meph runs and got absolutely nothing worthwhile. Honestly, my best item was a pair of rare gloves with +2 martial arts. So sad.

If you can teleport, you can do Hell Meph instead. Just do the moat trick and it's easy "bank". From all the time I was running Hell Meph and Andy, I got 2 Maras and 2SoJs.
 
I just found an awesome trick... get 3 perfect gems and a grand charm. The grand charm has to be high level -- I use the ones I get from hell Mephisto, but probably any grand charm from hell would work. Transmute it. If the GC had a high item level, there's a one in two chance of it being a +skill charm.
 
Damn it. I might reinstall, but I haven't played for so long I don't have a shit about what the new builds are.

Last time I played, ice orb sorcs were great and there was a Rush channel where you could get hell rushes easily.

I thnk it'd be better if the charm were gotten from a qlvl 85 monster area like Pit or Mausoleum. I believe Meph is only 83. But either way both yield high lvl charms.


Here is a good guide about charms. And here is a nice list of the high level areas for mf

And I'd be happy to play with anyone on USWest ladder. I'm usually on my lvl 85 poison necro option-v. I can help out with nm rushing and the more the merrier while I'm doing pit runs (don't worry, I have enigma to speed up the process).

Since skill GCs are ilvl 50, wouldn't it be better to be rerolling GCs from monsters closest to 50?

Not if you want the elusive skill GC 40 lifer. That's why most people use Baal-dropped GCs.

Yes. You are correct. More of a chance for a skiller. As the above post states, if you want to get a skiller with another mod you'll need higher than ilvl50. But then again, the chances of these are very low.

Basically fight in an area of ilvl 50, you roughly have 1/50 chance of getting skiller (actually more since there are more ilvl50 skill type mods than all the others). The charms from here could be from lvl 1-50 generally. Same goes for places with higher ilvls, which would again mean less chance of getting those ilvl50 charms since it now includes items from level 1-xx.

If it were easy as Koggit claims, everyone would have skill charms and their relative value would drop significantly.
 
I'm confused.

ilvl 50, Pure skiller.
Using the lowest ilvl possible increases the odds of rolling a skiller but cuts down the number of useful suffix’s available.
There is a 50% chance of rolling a charm with skiller, 25% prefix only and 25% prefix and suffix.

There are 74 non-skill prefix’s available and 21 skill prefix’s = 95 in total.
21/95 = ~0.22
But given that there is only a 50% chance for a prefix to show up we halve that number
= ~0.11.
Therefore out of 10,000 rerolls (30,000 pgems) 1100 should come up with skill mods.
Thus there is a ~ 1/10 chance of a skiller at ilvl 50
Click to expand...

So... is it a 1/10 chance or is it 1/2 chance? It sounds like he's saying both. 1/4 chance of a pure skill charm and 1/4 chance of a skiller with mods, so 1/2 chance of a skill? But then he says 1/10?

The reason I believed my friend when he said 1-in-2 chance is because on my first roll after he told me that I got a +cold skill. I've rolled five or six times since then and haven't gotten any skill charms, though.

To get pgems I've been trading common uniques to low levels (in norm/nm) for 1-3 pgems each.


EDIT: After rereading it a few times, I think "50% chance of rolling a charm with skiller" is a typo for "...rolling a charm with prefix." Then everything makes sense.
 
But even then, there are 21 skill trees and really only a handful are worth anything.

I think it's supposed to be 50% of suffix only. Yeah. 1/10 sounds about right for a +skiller.

Yes, look at the charm guide i linked to. It has similar wording, only difference is suffix. It makes much more sense that way.

And ilvl 50 charms are usually got from act3 nightmare.
 
I'm still shocked about my best skiller find EVER: A Trap GC with 36 life. I'm going to have to get back into ladder, because all the skillers I found there were badass:

1 Pcomb
3 Defensive Auras, one with 32 life
1 Offensive Aura
3 WC GCs
1 Fire
1 Bcomb with lite dmg
1 Cold
1 Lite
2 Java
1 Bow
1 Nec Sum
1 Dru Sum
1 Trap
3 Martial
1 Shadow
 
I've been giving away my skill stuff to whoever is online at the time, Kayden was the lucky fellow who got a +1 to curses, +1 to shapeshifting, and a +1 to passive and magic skills. Also, I will be playing in a few minutes so.... like... get on and stuff.
 
Yes. I get that too. Happens usually when you leave/enter games too early. The time is random, it could range from minutes to even 12 hours which I experienced not too long ago.
