LIVIN' ON THE EDGE: Diablo 2 Hardcore Challenge

[Liegezen]

I've got a 87 hardcore pally already this season, but now i'm bored again. When they upgrade D2 to Bnet 2.0 and such i'm sure it'll renew my passion.

What do you mean when they upgrade D2 to B.Net 2.0? Is that a thing?

17-20 year olds interest me almost not at all anymore (paradoxically also find 14-15 y/os more attractive because of all the potential with good guidance

Eth. Two runes dropped to create a Runeword within minutes of starting Act 4. I see good things ahead.

Izual was super easy. Just kept amplify damage on him and my skellingtons and merc made easy work of him. Took a while but nobody died.

I almost forgot to post this. I'm playing a Bonemancer US East Hardcore Expansion Ladder. Beat normal baal and was doing Cow Runs for exp and items. I was taking it slow because I wanted to keep this character. I got lazy and inattentive in massacring cows. Let my bone armor drop and it only took 2 cows to keep me locked in place for 300+ hp

Picking back up today almost ripped from a desync in flayer dungeon.

Pure Bonemancer specs

 

my understanding of a pure bonemancer is:
Teeth - 20
Bone Spear - 20
Bone Spirit - 20
Bone Prison - 20
Bone Wall - 20
Bone Armor - 1
Corpse Explosion - 1
Clay Golem - 1
Amplify Damage - 1

Primary: Bonespear
Offscreen/Boss: Bone Spirit
Defense: Bone Armor
Utility: Bone Wall & Bone Prison
Distraction: Clay Golem (and act 2 combat merc (prayer))
amp damage is mostly for bosses or hard mobs(helps the merc do damage)

Found this great guide that makes it really easy to learn. http://www.diabloii.net/forums/threa...-build.586995/

This post inspired me to start playing D2. Unfortunately I didnt have a working CD key, so I'm just playing single player, and I'm too wimpy to do hardcore, but I'm still having fun! Thanks for the inspiration.

I should probably get expansion

I'm glad you got back into it! Just FYI, you can now buy Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 expansion keys (and download the respective clients) via the Battle.net shop under "Classic Games", $10 a piece.

Yes, the game really is not the same without the expansion. The gathering and creating of Runewords is a blast.
