Diablo II 1.10 patch...haha!

[Martoch]

I seem to be missing a few items...hmmm.


Bye bye ITH, it was fun!

[vass0922]

ahhhh I'll give you a week or two before you get your "alternative item gathering methods" are back in place

[GohanSSJ]

Hehe, that's what happens when you use hacks.

Well don't worry, you could always make a new ethereal cb.

Breath of the Dying (BotD) is the new awesome runeword, it's better then any other legit sword around.

Breath of the Dying
6 Socket Weapons
Vex + Hel + El + Eld + Zod + Eth
50% Chance To Cast Level 20 Poison Nova When You Kill An Enemy
Indestructible
+60% Increased Attack Speed
+350-400% Enhanced Damage (varies)
+200% Damage To Undead
-25% Target Defense
+50 To Attack Rating
+50 To Attack Rating Against Undead
7% Mana Stolen Per Hit
12-15% Life Stolen Per Hit (varies)
Prevent Monster Heal
+30 To All Attributes
+1 To Light Radius
Requirements -20%

As you can see it has Indestructable, so you can use for example a 6 socketed ethereal CB, it will give you awesome damage.

The only problem is the price of those swords these days, if you think your biggest problem is that Zod and Vex, then you better think again, your biggest problem is the weapon itself, it costs like 30+ high runes (high runes are ber, jah, cham, zod)

[paladinoftheword]

I don't usally agree with you but that does sound like a powerful sword
I'm trying to get it for my paladin as a backup

[GohanSSJ]

You don't usually agree with me? What's that all about, also pointing it out is considered a flame imo, because if it wasn't, then why mention it?

Also back up for your paladin? Your main weapon must be extremely godly to beat this weapon, because so far even the godliest cruel colussus swords of quickness with ed/ias, zod aren't even good enough to beat that sword.
And those were like 200-300 high runes in 1.09

Thanks for the info, Gohan...although I don't think you'll see me on b.net any time soon.

[GohanSSJ]

I'm not very busy lately either, i'm going to make a Hammerdin on Europe on Ladder, and a PvP Charger/Templar on West (Templar is a paladin who uses FoH and Conviction, very deadly for those who have no stacked resist )

He will be using a Doom Zerker axe, it gives a high damage, +2 skills (usefull for FoH) and it always equips Holy Freeze, which slows the target alot, now BotD is really good, but because Holy Freeze is a must on a charger, i thought this weapon would give me a bigger advantage, because i can now just keep both auras on, and when i switch to FoH i will still have Holy Freeze on, and have +2 skills.

I had to think about it for sometime, but it is worth it imo.

[Martoch]

You've learned wellk, young Skywalker...gone are the days where RS~Martoch roamed as champion.


BTW, do you have a sword I can use?

I probably have some I can xfer to my barb...but he's lvl 99, what am I going to do with him? [shrugs]

[GohanSSJ]

Lol i bet i know more about the game then you now (no offense btw)

I mean i remember when you told me to put a shael in my stormshield, it was the first thing to remove when 1.10 comes out, a shael has only use on a Druid, all the other classes don't get improved by the blocking.

The game works with frames, for example a Paladin who uses zeal and fanat hits with a certain amount of frames (how many frames 1 hit takes) if a Paladin uses a -10 speed weapon (like a cryptic sword, elite long sword) then you need 60 ias to hit at 4 frames, if you only have 55% ias then you hit at 5 frames, it's really important to know those frames, because a pala who uses 5 frames in PvP is a dead pala.
You would think what's 1 frame, but that 1 frame makes the other person faster, and you might think it only gives him 1 more hit every 20 secs, but because of the faster hit recovery, and blocking, it takes much longer, which would cause the 4 frame paladin hit like twice as much as the other paladin.

It sounds complicated, but it's all very easy.

Btw Martoch remember when you told me not to play a Paladin but a Barb because a barb is stronger, well a defiance smiter can beat the crap out of a barb in pvp.

Ah yes there are so many things i know now, i'm a real paladin player now, big fan of them, know all about them.

Not really, i do have a GohanSSJ_Z's Cruel Colussus Sword though.
It has Shael Amn in it, has like 285% ED, kinda the same damage as a Doombringer, you would go from like 8k damage to like 2-3k damage lol, crappy Ith's.
