For the third time trying to post this. Would this stack with Necro's skill points? Is this rare?

I haven't played D2 since i was a kid back in the early 2000's. I recently installed D2+LoD and had fun offline running a HC pally both in classic & LoD then i saw PD2 and decided to give it a go. I've had a blast so far and naturally have ran a HC Pally again, im currently lvl 50 and just made it to hell.

I have a few questions -

How does crushing blow / deadly strike work and is it 100% required for a phys build?

How does open wounds work

Mu current build is lightning aura/zeal, my gear is resist focused to keep me alive. I found a club which has 10% chance of casting lvl 23 aplify damage, should i be using this over my pally unique with +3 to lightning aura?

Hi!
Im not sure what would be best for my ww barb. Wrath or faith on my act1 merc.
Im playing ssf in sp and I have quite decent gear; templars might, steel pillar, veil of steel, steelrend etc. but no way of proccing amp damage. Therefore my question, wrath og faith.
Any help would be appreciated, ty in advance

*Weapon upgrade advice* I feel like oath 339ed+lv16 HoW(145 off wep ed)+50ias is kinda hard to beat in SP.

What I can think of that is manageable are grief, botd, eternity, but they are not dramatically better. Getting runes seems more manageable than getting an eth schaefer or gg craft.

Any thoughts?

Ive started a single player journey on my laptop a few days ago. If i now log in into my account on my desktop PC with the same account is my single player character playable as well or do i have to transfer save files everytime i switch from PC to laptop or from laptop to PC ?

Thanks for answering

Sorry for the maybe dumb question, just dropped that mancather with 3x added elemental dmg, the overall dmg seems hugefor the item level if they add up but do the three elemental dmges stack? Also is there any point in using this instead of big flat weapon dmg ones? Playing SSF offline so I don't have a char to test it besides my summonzon

luck's playing tricks on me

I was searching the trade site for a pbox and noticed this, Searched the wiki no result. Does anyone know what it is?

JC thx

Hey,
I got this from Charsi. So what kind of pala should I run?
I tested as Venegance, but it's not running smooth right now.
Do have some ideas?

Skeletons can smash! Suggested new tree

Changes

Summon Tree now has 3 distinct branches: Passive/Utility (black box), Golems (green box) and Skeleton/Undead (red box)

Fire Golem replaced by Unholy Golem

Skeleton Mages replaced by Archers @ clvl 12

Skeleton Archers replaced by Wraiths @ clvl 24

Unholy Bolt and Lich Lord added to Passive/Utility branch

Blood Wrap, Lich Lord and Revives standalone skills w/o pre-requisites

Skills mechanics

Unholy Bolt

works like Holy Bolt and does magic damage to enemies and heals party. Effects +50% when healing undead/skeleton/golem minions. Minion Mastery synergises its healing effects and Unholy Golem synergises its magic damage

Lich Lord

When transformed to a Lich Lord the necro gains +life, mana, ias and fcr! FCR/IAS breakpoints follow human form. Has variable special abilities based on hard points in specific skills eg:

Maxed Minion Mastery: all minions do 20% more damage; you may now summon 4 more skeleton warriors and archers or 2 more Wraiths

Maxed Curse Mastery: all curses’ effects increased 35%

Maxed Desecrate or Poison Nova: 20% more poison damage from spells or melee, +100 physical damage

Maxed Bone Spear or Spirit: 20% more magic damage from spells

Standalone skill w/o pre-requisites to encourage hybrid/unique builds by saving points

Iron Golem

IG now sticks to the base item even after it gets killed or vanishes. To create a new IG the necro needs to cast unsummon twice, once to reduce it to original item and again to “forget” it and summon a new IG from a new item. This system also allows a low level necro to summon the IG from the same item once he gets stronger/higher level.

Eg : clvl 30 necro summons an IG from an IK Maul with low +Skills. He hits 60-70 and has much better gear/prebuffs. He casts unsummon once to get the IK Maul on ground. If he decides to make a new item IG he casts unsummon again on the IK Maul and summons a new IG from a new item. If he likes the IG IK Maul he simply summons IG with it with more +skills at this time. IG now has a “Dark Thorns” aura which works like Thorns but the effects are +50% when monster/s hit undead/skeleton/golem minions! Does physical damage and limited to one IG

Unholy Golem

Replaces Fire Golem and though limited to 2 is much more powerful than other golems in the branch. Does magical and physical damage and comes with “Unholy Conviction” which works like Conviction except it lowers ALL resistances including poison, physical and magical! Unholy Bolt synergises it adding more magic damage. It is immune to all elemental damage. "Hidden" synergy: damage ramps up with more minions (perm or temp) Limited to 2 UGs

Wraiths

Immune Physical and drains life of monsters to return mana to necro. All Wraiths can converge in single space being ghost class monsters and they are excellent in both packs or boss killing. Does physical and magic damage and limited to 6 Wraiths. Unholy Bolt synergises it adding more magic damage.

 Revives

Now a standalone skill that encourages hybrid/unique builds by saving points

Blood Wrap

Now a standalone skill that encourages hybrid/unique builds by saving points

Minion Mastery

Life, Damage, AR, Velocity and max minions per type. Also synergises curing effectiveness of Unholy Bolt

Golem Synergies

Clay and Blood synergise each other while IG just needs Minion Mastery to be strong. IG is also possible as a standalone skill but UG synergises it to give added magical damage.  UG gets synergies via Minion Mastery and Unholy Bolt (added magic damage) IG and UG being higher level golems and lower numbers summoned have a “smite” like attack that always hits regardless of game difficulty. The Golem branch has 2 “tiers” where the lower-level Clay/Blood synergise each other but are no longer pre-requisites to the higher tier golems i.e. IG/UG

Skeleton Warriors and Archers

Does physical and poison damage. Items that grant +% poison damage work on warriors and archers damage. Immune poison. Maxed out with Maxed Minion Mastery strong enough for T3 Maps and deadliest bosses in PD2 especially with Unholy Bolt curing! Warriors have 25% deadly strike. "Hidden" synergy: every hard point in Blood Golem grant +1% life steal for Skeleton Warriors and Archers

Eg build: Physical/Magic Summoner packs + boss killer

Maxed Minions Mastery

Maxed Unholy Bolt

Maxed Unholy Golem

Maxed Wraiths

Maxed Iron Golem (IG does extreme phy + magic damage)

Remaining pts into Lich Lord

Total Minions in human form: 1 + 2 + 6 = 9

Total Minions in Lich Lord form: 1 + 2 + 8 = 11

Eg build: Physical/Poison Summoner packs + boss killer

Maxed Minions Mastery

Maxed Clay Golem

Maxed Blood Golem

Maxed Skeleton Warriors

Maxed Skeleton Archers

Remaining pts into Lich Lord

1 point Iron Golem/Unholy Bolt (IG supports army with dark thorns aura and possible 2nd aura depending on item)

Total Minions in human form: 5 + 10 + 10 = 25

Total Minions in Lich Lord form: 5 + 14 + 14 = 33

Y'all think this will ever be a thing?

It could open up some very cool meme builds...

Thanks Senpai and team for an amazing game by the way! ❤️

All my thanks to the devs and Senpai - I love this mod and community! ❤️

Good afternoon!

I'm slowly working on a website to kind of collect all the tools, resources, etc. that are spread out all over. I've played for a few seasons now and constantly having to look around for resources, figure out what things are worth, builds, etc. I decided to try and bring everything into one place.

Before anyone asks, yes i did use some AI for the coding and template work, all of the original Diablo 2 images (characters, animations, bonfire image are directly pulled from the MPQ files).

I have gotten permission from BetweenWalls to reference his currency sheet and his skillpoint calculator images.

The Map index reads directly from the wiki, so any changes on the wiki will automatically populate to the website.

The character exporter was designed with AI but does pull directly from the API.

The Runeword Wizard currently references KvotheD's page as well, but is in the works of reading from another source, i do have his permission at the moment though.

Currently I've only added in JuxtAPoser's tier lists, I have permission, just slowly adding in more information, but builds are coming if anyone would like to add a build or tier lists, feel free to let me know.

Planned additions:
- Crafting Recipe list
- New Changes + Updates (This will show anything new in regards to runewords, items, sets, corruptions, recipes)
- Builds (I will begin making some myself and hopefully some others will allow me to add theirs)

I would love some feedback, things people want to see, changed, added, etc.

my Discord is GooNieH if anyone would rather talk on there.

for the PD2 Team, if there's anything I've added, created, used, etc. that you don't want me to, or want changed, removed, etc. please feel free to let me know on here or discord and i'll change it. My goal isn't to piss anyone off, it's simply to bring a bunch of tools to one place that are user friendly.

For some reason, my post keeps getting flagged, i've removed the link here to see if that's the reason.

Should I wait to find a vial and ZOD or just slap another jewl or Ohm whenever I find one of those?

Hey guys,

I started playing Sanctuary of Exile recently and so far I love it. But today I found an item (can‘t remember the name) and everytime I hover over it my game crashes…
I am not at my PC right now and forgot the error message, but I got a screenshot showing the item.
Does anyone have similar problems and/or a solution?
I tried updating everything, haven‘t had the time to reinstall yet.

The GitHub page says version 13.x but in the notes it says for season 12. It says it was updated around when season 13 started. Does it work? And if not, are there any other cool mods of this even cooler mod? 😎
