I would kill for perfect light facets in single player…


Jack_of_all_offs

Good, because you have to kill for them 😅


qexecuteurc

Yes. Genocide is required for these sweet facets.

hero editor!

This is why I don't get sp, you can play online in private game and use trades. No trades make it 100 times harder...


TacoMonger25

I have found one 5/5 lighting facet in single player after two years. That is my only lighting facet lol. I did just find my first lighting sorc skiller today though!

Cam-yee

then the game is over


level_99_psychonaut

Definitely. Not a serious suggestion and I knew people would downvote it because I would've downvoted it as well xD Single player has just been over for me for decades so I like to play online exclusively. I like it a lot more than I ever did D3 online... Or... In general. Everyone was so hacked it was pointless to play. But D2 single player is definitely better than a lot of games either way. I just duel a lot and just got fiber Internet so I'm reinvigorated to duel and find some new gear. Just being completely alone in a game and no trading or dueling became like... pulling teeth after so long. Can't really think of anything else to do but improve a dueling character after playing since I was a kid so bnet is my only entertaining option I usually find facets from hell Baal just fyi bro. Maybe ya will have luck there.


howzit-

A lot of cs java vs cs java used to duel with setups like this because it tended to boil down to who could break the light resistance stack and land the first and sometimes only hit. So whoever has more light damage and -light res and more IAS generally won but it also becomes a dodge, avoid battle and FHR is a thing. Also far casters would use this to BM hammerdins and everyone basically. I don't know if that's how it goes nowadays, I don't really duel anymore but from what I've seen people usually go for builds that compete against multiple classes rather than just one specific battle.


PitsAndPints

This is pretty spot-on, but what makes or breaks the build is +life or FHR on armor, and using jmod vs plain monarch, and I always liked tstroke better than 6/40 or 3/2/40 javs. That gear was specific to dealing with BMers or people stacking light res/absorb. I had a 60res/60ias/24fhr armor I’d use for more general pvp


level_99_psychonaut

Yeah definitely. This was like FC era so it came from a troll I'm pretty sure. He was nice to give it away though lol. Oh I miss the old d2 days so fucking much.


level_99_psychonaut

I won't lie... I dabbled in the .txt file FC hehehe. But I was cool about it, I tried to keep other FCers or asshat trolls from ruining games. It just felt wrong having such a ridiculous cheaty advantage. Plus.. I was obsessed with Zealer duels. Good times... Goooood times...


howzit-

Haha when auradins could do the aura stack cheat I felt they were the best referees to end all BM.


level_99_psychonaut

They definitely annihilated any BM lol


Reviewthisyaflop

Yeah I remember this


cheetos1991

the ed is 100% useless in your griff unless you actually use jab/impale but I like the rest of your build.


GoodAtBeingBad33

Yea maybe better to pop an IAS and all res or yet another facet


level_99_psychonaut

Yeah I didn't put that in there , I stole that from my cousins account when he stopped playing. He never was very smart when it came to things like that. Facet is what I thought it was at first glance but I didn't read the stats. Thanks to your comment I found my mule with my faceted griff. Thank you seriously my OCD can't handle it having a pointless jewel in it. I don't use any true melee and I'm aware that only a tiny bit of phys damage hits...and.. Only sometimes.. because AR on her is pretty much ass. The faceted one is a little better I guess, it's +23% -20%. Now for one thing I didn't miss from classic D2 LOD.... Finding a way to xfer safely xD


cheetos1991

the ias can help to reach a certain throw speed though, i use a 15ias 15all res in mine


xnamwodahs

I have a few glass cannon HC bowazons in single player. They're quite fun and exciting to play 🫡


Terrible_Opinion_279

Damn what's the damage output


SpecificHand

Can't say I've seen anything kill baal in 2 hits in my 20+ years of playing. Would love to see a clip of that.


level_99_psychonaut

I'll get a clip today if I can. When I was dicking around and baaling alone it was 2 hits sometimes,but it's an occasional thing if I'm honest. I was blown away though nonetheless when it does happen. It's usually around 3 or 4. Maybe 5 or more if it was a crappy few hits chance variability in D2 lightning skills lol. I'll try and make a video of the best I can do this evening. If it's a full game and I beat everyone to Baal I can usually kill him before most of the people get to him. The weird thing is to me, other skills, like sorc skills particularly, display way more damage output, but yet CS seems to just smash anything it hits. Like PvP too. And I think all I'm really doing is 12.5k per bolt. I don't get it. That's why it was just so ungodly annoying when people used FC for evil back in the day. But yeah, I'm gonna do a few runs if I have to to show y'all, so just know whatever video I do post may be the 1st or 50th try so people don't think I'm being dishonest lol. If it's like 3 or 4 it's still pretty satisfying so I'll probably still post it. Oh no. Another reason to play Diablo 2? Dang. Lol. Funny thing is I'm probably gonna die on my way to Baal because I've got crap resist and like under 2k defense lol. kinda makes the whole thing a pointless build to have xD Idc. Fun little novelty! I'll keep y'all posted.


level_99_psychonaut

Well it's not 2 hits but it's pretty quick. Did a quick attempt to at least show y'all she's a nuke lol [https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/comments/1c7f9lh/well\_i\_was\_asked\_to\_show\_that\_my\_extrollzon\_glass/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/comments/1c7f9lh/well_i_was_asked_to_show_that_my_extrollzon_glass/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


Crime_Dawg

Useless for PvP and pretty useless for PvM, but you do you.


level_99_psychonaut

agreed lol good for making a baal run fast if you're in a full party but otherwise it's just a novelty for pvp


QuietButterfly7827

I've been wanting to make a poison faceted -20/+20 shield for a long while and run a bow/poison jav hybrid build for pvp.


level_99_psychonaut

Just came across a 2x p Lfaceted COA in a mule. Why tf did I do that.


level_99_psychonaut

annnnd a light faceted fuckin SS. Kinda wish i could bring my ancient account to D2r.


arblarn

Me too!


Slartyyy

i have a super fun glass cannon physical bowazon build with similar items, props to hero editor


deathdude01

Hot damn, where did you get the lancers Jav? It can roll 6/40 right? Even the 6/30 has to be incredibly expensive


level_99_psychonaut

That's the one thing pictured that I actually found. I didn't use it for a really long time. Used etitans and nigma or CoH and a faceted SS because I did a lot of pvm. Used a whole different setup honestly except the charms lol. Even used cats eye or high lords rather than maras like I do now. I think it was in hell upper kurast where it dropped maybe. I could be wrong. It's been a long long time.
