Im doing my first playthrough of hell with a paladin. I was full offensive on normal and nightmare and was struggling big time when I got to Hell level. I reset my stats to what you have and it saved my life!! Thank you SOOOOOO much!!!
ALEX! Please spend more time farming! please! An extra 45 minutes or more in each difficulty, the best part of these is that we all have poorly geared charecters and we get to compare our drops with yours! In the barb playthrough you spent HOURS farming and it was SO MUCH FUN! Seriously Llama, please don't rush these playthroughs. Do more of the quests and do a lot more farming encourage people to play the game how it is supposed to be played, not like speedrunners:) also the girlfriend wants to see you do a Bowazon next. That would force you to farm and have a longer play through it would be so fun!
But that’s the beauty of Diablo, even with this basic gear he doesn’t need to farm to beat the game with a hammerdin. Farming would just be a waste of time (even if it could be enjoyable)
Also he does mention on many spots that you could farm for this or that and make this or that easier. I like to see it as under gear as possible because it gives you strategies in case your farming doesn't yield that one thing you feel you need. I have been able to complete the game with a Necro and a Sorcie thanks to lots of the strategies I saw in these playthroughs. Honorable mention to something simple and it is to just skip something you can't deal with. I never realised when I was little how optional so much of the game is.
@@truthinchrist474 GJ man. I haven't done SP yet but I think I might because I never beaten Hell on SP. Although the game isn't fun playing alone for me but if I got PLUGY and wanted to attempt a Holy Grail....
I started it too and surprisingly found myself enjoying it. I’ve never played D2 before and now i can understand why this game shines back in early 2000. The game is simple but has so much depth.
@@aleefmohammed244 yeah it's definitely a fun game. Hell is definitely going to test you. I recommend you have good residences going into it and also ways to handle immunities.
I hope that this will become a series! Whenever I look up a guide all I get is high level characters with end game gear. But this... Not only from scratch but you also discussing the alternatives since no guarantee that we find the same items as you:) Really want to see more characters, like Assassin, Sorc...even Barb:D Keep up the good work:)
I played this game for years, and was pretty good, I did Uber runs and could farm just about any spot with my Zon or Sorc. Watching these videos completely changed how I view the game, from not building defense, to players command breakpoints at odd numbers. Learned so much, gonna download d2 again and bask in the nostalgia.
Great videos, I was looking for something simillar every time I came back to d2. Also when you went to check if hell andy is bugged I did the same and got tal mask. Keep it up MrPounderSC
Watching this series makes me wonder if you would do "bite-size" guides for all sorts of different specs. Like a 5-ish minute overview of how to do different main builds on a class. For example i'm really into zeal paladin, what would make or break a zealadin/zealot, what skills to go for in normal, nightmare, hell etc. Same for trap assassin/martial arts. Maybe those videos would be way bigger than I think, but you could just lightly brush over the skill builds, what runewords and uniques to aim for.
Ok so every since I saw you doing D2 on GDQ I’ve always watched your UA-cam vids. After seeing the first video of this hdin I redownloaded and installed D2. Lobe the work you’ve put into the channel and love that you got me back into my favorite childhood game! Ps hammerdin is super OP lol
Thank you for doing these runs Alex! I am absolutely loving them and my girlfriend is actually trying D2 because of them. She is struggling with the pace they are very quick runs but she doesn't ever play video games so the fact that she is playing a game especially my all time favorite game is amazing. Please do a Bowazon next because new players (especially women) love Bowazons she is really hoping you do one next and start spending another hour or more farming in each difficulty. I'm telling you man you farming for gear is the best part of the runs. It's so fun farming with you when we both have bad gear and we can compare our drops to yours!
thanks for pro-strats mr lama! ladder just reset i was building a smiter for ubers but this video inspired me to respec into hammerdin when i started to struggle in nm a1. i can always respec back to smiter when i'm higher level and have some gear :)
Love the series, these got me back into D2.... however, MrLLama is good and makes it look easy. I have died about 20x in the maggot lair and about 10x so far in the Viper Temple!!
Hey MrLlamaSC I been really just started watching you and You have been a lot of help and I that you so much with the help you have given to the Diablo community. I been playing the game day 1 but took a very long brake and watching you has help me know things that my 10 your old self didn’t know back then! Much love keep up the amazing work!!!
You can throw on Cleansing Aura to take off a curse rather quickly, probably faster even than going to town for most acts. Pally OP (Works better the more +skills you have)
BOWAZON NEXT, PLEASE!! My girlfriend wants to see you do a Bowazon next. That would force you to farm and have a longer play through which would be so fun. We have NEVER seen you play a Bowazon before that would be a very entertaining and difficult guided playthrough. The best guide so far had been the Barb because the videos were so much longer and you spent so many more hours farming. Seriously Alex the best part of these is farming for gear on our poorly geared charecters together with you. With a Bowazon you can't just beat the game on nitemare and hell without getting a merc and gearing him and taking care of him and farming for good enough gear. Please do this Llama I promise you NO ONE will be upset if we get to watch you play through Hell with a Bowazon and spend hours farming for viable gesr together. It's so fun playing the characters on my computer and having your guides playing on my phone while we basically play together, but I really wish you would slow down by a lot and I can't say this enough but spend a couple hours at least farming in each difficulty with us!:)
Yeah, I really hope he will! A bowazon playthrough isn't the fastest but in my opinion is one of the most fun ones. The farming for gear is not that much though. There are a lot of easy to make runewords that help enough, since you'll always be going for fire and/or cold damage because farming for physical damage would take months and attack rating is a nightmare in and off itself and you'll be freezing mobs and you add pierce in nightmare, so you don't even need to worry too much about attack speed or getting frozen yourself. You'll get enough faster attack speed from cheap runewords anyway and they're all for 2 or 3 sox bows you can shop in act1 normal. The only 4 sox runeword that might be of interest are Harmony if you find a Ko to get +3 to +6 to valkyrie without having to add skills and get a lot of extra damage, but even then, Melody also uses a Ko rune and only needs 3 sockets and might be better because it adds +3 to amazon skills and 20 increased attack speed and knockback. But a simple ort eth gives more attack speed and also gives faster run walk and easily gets you through hell and with freezing arrow, knockback isn't all that important. And maybe Llama could be nice to us and not tele with this char. It's hard enough to switch weapons and not die in hell with a paladin. The amazon handles like a schoolbus under water.
You should stamp mark the highlights in your gameplays... Like when you find crucial items, respec, turn the skill tree path in the desirable direction, or just have some GOOD ADVICE. Then you will provide us with the ultimate playthrough ever!!!!!! I have never played Paladin in my life up until now, and I have to confess, it is a tough bastard to master...Concentration, Redemption, Hammerz, and Smite, I USE THEM ALL!!! Positioning is the very fundament of Hammerdin gameplay. When you learn how hammers work and what distance they are traveling, everything falls into place. I had a blast purging all demons and undead in Hell ACT 1, but damn those level designers for ACT 2... Particular those who worked on Maggot Lair...
I'd say best tactic for Wave 2 Baal is to kill the minons, RIP them with the level 30 Aura and then drag the Mummies out by cutting off their Line of Sight with the pillars. Once they lose LoS they will chase you. Then drag them out and charge back in. Alternatively you drag the minions out first. Then drag the big guys out after if you don't have/want to spend a point on the Aura.
Currently playing a Javazon. One of the highlights was my Duriel Normal drops. Sanders gloves, Insenharts helm, arctic belt, rare maul, and a rare eth brandistock. The only useful one ended up being the sanders gloves, but still sick to get all those (instead of tp scrolls....). Currently beat normal and debating just jumping into NM, Baal runs are easy with charged strike, so tempted to do a few more, but would maybe be best to just move on. My plugY install didn't seem to work, so may copy my save file after I get it fixed. That's one of the main reasons I'd want a D2 remastered, Even just a GoG version; it is harder than it should be to just play the game. Windowed full screen can be annoying too, especially when the cursor goes outside the window. I tried glide wrapper, and it worked for a while, but I had to restart my pc after each session if I wanted to play again. Starting with poison jav had me going outside the window border often since you don't aim at enemies when attacking; in the end I just respecced into power strike to avoid the annoyance. I had a MF sorc on a plugY install a little while back, hopefully I can still find that save file; I think I made a copy somewhere of the shared stash and the char file. I had a windforce and some other goodies I found on that character file.
Thanks for the way to get through Baal´s 2. wave! (one day later) Aaaaaand I´ve done it! I probably broke an all time (negative) record being level 87 when finishing Hell... 😀 But I´ve learned a lot from my experience and from MrLlama´s videos!
Ye... Another thing I always forget to tell you... In singleplayer back in the day, 2003-2008, Summoner was always in the same spot. Look for the path with pillars and balconies... So I always avoided teleports, towers and always knew where to look. Don't know if that's the case with some of the newer updates and patches.
Hello Mr Llama , I’ve been enjoying your videos so far since the Amazon playthrough. Anyway, just a feedback , would appreciate in the video description that you maybe indicated a mini recap (maybe less than 50 words) of the main points. Keep up the good work. !
MrLlamaSC maybe for example talk about early game we invested some points in resist fire , holy fire and 1 point in Zeal. Then at level 18 respec into hammer throws. Farm for stealth runes etc2. Keep gear that have 2 sockets. Most of our stats will go to vitality etc2.
Hey llama, im trying to copy you closely, for this build are there any rune words i need to make or try to make? Im level 55 right now and just got to hell
Just started Nightmare on my pally on my first D2 play through. Up to 85 FR 75 75 75. Using Malice + 4 Diamond Pally Shield for bosses and using double spirit in my other weapon and shield slots for killing random mobs. Not sure what I should use for the rest of my gear, just trying to not overlap with my current stats.
Do you know if Camel played in Clan BNU back in the day ? I was in BNU and just returned to D2. Love the streams. Just wish you played more Hc battlenet. On on USeast Hc. Ladder.
OK ! ... as of 19/12/19 05:15 I Cleared Act 2 In Hell ... Took Me 16??? +++Hours?? (1:45pm Yesterday-- 5:15am Today)😵😱 WTFfff Did I Jus' DO??? 🤯🤯 ... ! .. Killin' ALL...in My Way!!!

My dream for a Paladin is to make a 2-handed paladin (2h sword preferred) that can play from normal through hell without a shield, without holy shield, and without twinking? I love the way two handed swords look on paladins. I know shields are iconic for paladins, but I like 2h weapons.
Hi! i dont really know how to contact you so i guess i'll post it here and hope you read it. I've been lately discovering some thing about hiden propieties ofdiablo 2 skills, like the thing you can do with an iron golem, or the hiden things that can spawn with the amazon valkirye. I wasn't able to find lot of information about that, so i was hoping if you could do a video talking about thoose topics, i'm sure there are other people like me out there that will be interested in knowing thoose thing!
That dude said that he spent 3 hours getting only to countess is probably fighting with no merc. I remember times when i was a kid, i was playing through entire normal with only merc +level 1 curses because of no respec, and it wasn't horrible or whatever. Barbarian merc wipes 99% of mobs with life tap and fhr.
If you’re playing hell hardcore in the tombs I’d recommend resetting till there aren’t any summoners. Took me like 10 resets but damn those jabronies were hella annoying. I tried teleporting with them/scarabs and almost had a heart attack when I barely made it out alive. -_-
That holy bolt strategy for baal minions wave 2 doesn't seem to work anymore. At holy bolt level 5 it doesn't even do enough damage to out damage the enemies' passive healing.
pls consider playing the new D3 season, it would be very interesting to see your opinion on the massive shake up the meta got recently from season 17 onwards
My current HC char is a hammerdin. Had my HC sorc die to Mephisto after defeating hell ancients, had my HC necro get one shotted by some might+extra strong boss. How do you play with max block? Do you turn off running, or is it more like a layer of safety when you hammer away? I'm now in act 2 Hell near the end, I'm going to farm the countess to get a Lum rune for Smoke. BTW, double Spirit is awesome. EDIT: Guardian-ed him, my first Guardian YAYAYAYAYAY!!!
Start watching the vid, follow playing with my 1st hammerdin that I build at the same time __> found a Sur rune in the Den of evil after 4minoooOOO --> this guy is my lucky charm
Whats the end game skill tree?I dont think you talked about that and idk why but i were able to max out hammer,blessed aim,cons at level 61 and u are lebel 64 with level 7 and level 12 blessed aim.But the think is i dont know what skills we using?We just max out The synergy skills and hammer and thats it?Im almost done with that.After level 80 for example?
I enjoyed more the ww barb or any not ez class to watch than this but still i liked this one as well and very usefull informations generaly bout the game
I just found boots for my Hammerdin, Gore Rider War Boots with 30% fast run, 15% crushing blow, 15% deadly strike, and 10% open wounds. I'm currently using Sander's boots for the 40% faster run and 5 strength and 10 dex, should I switch? Can those proc on hammers?
My question has always been : How do you manage to find/make items socketed? I know Larzuk does it, but you have no control over how many are put into the item
Just run around killing people. Prioritize people without any special things (avoid champions and bosses). Get rid of any MF you have as well. Only low tier white items are good for sockets. You can also use shops to find stuff with sockets. Just leave town and return to refresh inventory. Again, only white items will have it. Blue and above wont. Also play on players 1. You want a worse loot table. Basically; No MF. Players 1 difficulty. Can farm shops for socketable items. Only white items will have sockets.
So I'm struggling with Zeal Paladin in hell difficulty. My resistances are decent (lightning and cold are low, around 20, but fire and poison are both maxed out) at least to me, a noob. I've maxed out zeal and sacrifice and fanatacism, and I'm leveling Vengeance to deal with physical immune bastards. But everything does so much damage! I literally died to two undead that were cold enchanted minions because they damaged me down from full health while I was in my Zeal animation. Do you have any recommendations as to how I, a melee character, can make it through hell? I'm stumped.
crushing blow and lifeleech helps a lot. if youre having trouble with mana burn, play around with damage taken goes to mana. . if youre using plugy try lawbringer for your weapon. relatively cheap runeword that carries you through hell. once you get an exile youre basically immortal
I recently reinstalled this game after watching some of your GDQ runs, and completed the game on Normal before finding out about PlugY. I've installed PlugY now but can't seem to get my stash items to show up in the stash on PlugY. Every time I switch over to PlugY it deletes all my stash items - but keeps my gold?? I have a backup of my saves so it's fine, but I'd love to be able to use PlugY. Anyone know what's going on?
It is from a later patch indeed. I guess, many players used mods to make runes easier to spot between all the white items, so Blizzard decided to officially change it because it really makes sense to give runes a different colour than a random common item.
Inmunity are op in this game, look how easy it is for Hammerdin compared to other classes, for sure one of the things i hate the most about D2. I dont know why they didnt go for high res monsters like 90% dmg reduced, but 100%? Come on!
Better question is are immunities OP or are hammerdins OP? Lots of people in D2 hate the hammerdin because it's so much easier than the other chars, rather than hating the other chars because they can't kill like the hammerdin. It's interesting!
@@MrLlamaSC yeah, in my opinion i would buff other characters to be around hHammerdin level. I just think difficulty through inmmunities is lazy design, imagine as a new player you go to Hell with your awesome fire Sorc that you are loving some much and all of a sudden you cant kill a Fallen, it just feels wrong in my opinion.
Can a zealadin make it through hell? I'm MFing all of his gear currently, on single player and he's not a ladder character. Outside of his gear and skills.. Are there additional stats to watch out for? Crushing blow, ect. This Will hopefully be my first ever character to have beaten hell solo. Thanks! 🤙🤙
crushing blow and lifeleech helps a lot. if youre having trouble with mana burn, play around with damage taken goes to mana. once you get an exile youre basically immortal

ALEX! Please spend more time farming! please! An extra 45 minutes or more in each difficulty, the best part of these is that we all have poorly geared charecters and we get to compare our drops with yours! In the barb playthrough you spent HOURS farming and it was SO MUCH FUN! Seriously Llama, please don't rush these playthroughs.

So I always avoided teleports, towers and always knew where to look. Don't know if that's the case with some of the newer updates and patches.
Hello Mr Llama , I’ve been enjoying your videos so far since the Amazon playthrough. Anyway, just a feedback , would appreciate in the video description that you maybe indicated a mini recap (maybe less than 50 words) of the main points. Keep up the good work. !
What sort of recap would be helpful?
MrLlamaSC maybe for example talk about early game we invested some points in resist fire , holy fire and 1 point in Zeal. Then at level 18 respec into hammer throws.
Farm for stealth runes etc2. Keep gear that have 2 sockets. Most of our stats will go to vitality etc2.
26:06 That man's war cry. :kappapride: Thanks Mr Lllama for show me a new way to enjoy Diablo 2, really love this game.
lol. when LLama attempts to show he understands FX... Still, love your content, keep up the great work!!
You’re going so fast to 100K subs
Road to 100K! The ultimate dream
Really enjoying these guided playthroughs. When you do necro, think you can do a poison dagger build? I've never seen one in action before.
Hey llama, im trying to copy you closely, for this build are there any rune words i need to make or try to make? Im level 55 right now and just got to hell
Just started Nightmare on my pally on my first D2 play through. Up to 85 FR 75 75 75. Using Malice + 4 Diamond Pally Shield for bosses and using double spirit in my other weapon and shield slots for killing random mobs. Not sure what I should use for the rest of my gear, just trying to not overlap with my current stats.
sounds pretty solid to me! Look to get a lore helm for + skills and then the other stuff just go for life and frw and stuff now!
@@MrLlamaSC Thank you! You're the best!
What happens to streamer in maggot lair on hammerdin:
-Enters, level 2 right next to level one
-Quickly teleports to level 3
-Obtains staff in
Just restart the game and pray for better spawn
Do you know if Camel played in Clan BNU back in the day ? I was in BNU and just returned to D2. Love the streams. Just wish you played more Hc battlenet. On on USeast Hc. Ladder.

My dream for a Paladin is to make a 2-handed paladin (2h sword preferred) that can play from normal through hell without a shield, without holy shield, and without twinking? I love the way two handed swords look on paladins. I know shields are iconic for paladins, but I like 2h weapons.
Vengance + Conviction could work. if youre using plugy try lawbringer for your weapon. relatively cheap runeword that carries you through hell
Toloric bit was hilarious lol
> Google

*Laughs in DuckDuckGo*
i played along with the these 3 videos on D2R release, and i died about 1000 times in act2+3 hell.
LAMA you rock!!!
I hope you play diablo4 too, I love your videos and streams!
if your resist is not high enough , hell is gonna be hell for you
Great series. love it. Played the paladin too. What class is next? :D
Hi! i dont really know how to contact you so i guess i'll post it here and hope you read it. I've been lately discovering some thing about hiden propieties ofdiablo 2 skills, like the thing you can do with an iron golem, or the hiden things that can spawn with the amazon valkirye. I wasn't able to find lot of information about that, so i was hoping if you could do a video talking about thoose topics, i'm sure there are other people like me out there that will be interested in knowing thoose thing!
smoke is my favorite runeword :)
I absolutely love your Twitch chat. One kf my favorite parts of watching from UA-cam is seeing those....
That dude said that he spent 3 hours getting only to countess is probably fighting with no merc. I remember times when i was a kid, i was playing through entire normal with only merc +level 1 curses because of no respec, and it wasn't horrible or whatever. Barbarian merc wipes 99% of mobs with life tap and fhr.
love the death messages: *Guide was slain by [xyz]*
Mrlama: the joke doesn't make sense.
Me: nope the joke doesn't make sense, it makes dollars.
Shael rune is op drop on Duriel. Unless you were farming town scrolls? Love your content bro! #poundsquad
If you’re playing hell hardcore in the tombs I’d recommend resetting till there aren’t any summoners. Took me like 10 resets but damn those jabronies were hella annoying. I tried teleporting with them/scarabs and almost had a heart attack when I barely made it out alive. -_-
I live for the playfully resentful tone that always accompanies “thank you camel”
That holy bolt strategy for baal minions wave 2 doesn't seem to work anymore. At holy bolt level 5 it doesn't even do enough damage to out damage the enemies' passive healing.
I'm learned English from your streams man)
How long it took llama to do maggot layer, viper layer, and tal rashas tomb: 10 minutes
How long it took me to do it: 5 hours TTTTT_________TTTTTT
This is so helpful. Thank you!!!
Pog actually first, I see the uber content didn't make it in :^)
uber!!!!!yes
You always have a random Kelloggs product on your counter. 😂
pls consider playing the new D3 season, it would be very interesting to see your opinion on the massive shake up the meta got recently from season 17 onwards
I hear uber diablo is there as well! might be fun to try
it is, but you have to get a 1000 killstreak to summon him
Love the Llama!
My current HC char is a hammerdin. Had my HC sorc die to Mephisto after defeating hell ancients, had my HC necro get one shotted by some might+extra strong boss. How do you play with max block? Do you turn off running, or is it more like a layer of safety when you hammer away? I'm now in act 2 Hell near the end, I'm going to farm the countess to get a Lum rune for Smoke. BTW, double Spirit is awesome.
EDIT: Guardian-ed him, my first Guardian YAYAYAYAYAY!!!
how did got the crown shield
Luck
If you would go the Spirite swoard & shield route. What ways do you have to get your res up to snuff for hell?
I was pretty sure that undead are getting 150% damage from the hammer and this would actually break their magic immunity
Start watching the vid, follow playing with my 1st hammerdin that I build at the same time __> found a Sur rune in the Den of evil after 4minoooOOO --> this guy is my lucky charm
Whats the end game skill tree?I dont think you talked about that and idk why but i were able to max out hammer,blessed aim,cons at level 61 and u are lebel 64 with level 7 and level 12 blessed aim.But the think is i dont know what skills we using?We just max out The synergy skills and hammer and thats it?Im almost done with that.After level 80 for example?
I enjoyed more the ww barb or any not ez class to watch than this but still i liked this one as well and very usefull informations generaly bout the game
Thank you for the runs. I have a question, what patch does "plugy" work on?
it currently supports up to 1.13c
are you going to do a barbarian let's play?
Jeez, now I wanna play D2..
I love Diablo 2 but I always thought the treasure chest should have more space.
I just found boots for my Hammerdin, Gore Rider War Boots with 30% fast run, 15% crushing blow, 15% deadly strike, and 10% open wounds. I'm currently using Sander's boots for the 40% faster run and 5 strength and 10 dex, should I switch? Can those proc on hammers?
My question has always been : How do you manage to find/make items socketed? I know Larzuk does it, but you have no control over how many are put into the item
Just run around killing people. Prioritize people without any special things (avoid champions and bosses). Get rid of any MF you have as well. Only low tier white items are good for sockets. You can also use shops to find stuff with sockets. Just leave town and return to refresh inventory. Again, only white items will have it. Blue and above wont. Also play on players 1. You want a worse loot table.
Basically; No MF. Players 1 difficulty. Can farm shops for socketable items. Only white items will have sockets.
So I'm struggling with Zeal Paladin in hell difficulty. My resistances are decent (lightning and cold are low, around 20, but fire and poison are both maxed out) at least to me, a noob. I've maxed out zeal and sacrifice and fanatacism, and I'm leveling Vengeance to deal with physical immune bastards. But everything does so much damage! I literally died to two undead that were cold enchanted minions because they damaged me down from full health while I was in my Zeal animation. Do you have any recommendations as to how I, a melee character, can make it through hell? I'm stumped.
crushing blow and lifeleech helps a lot. if youre having trouble with mana burn, play around with damage taken goes to mana. . if youre using plugy try lawbringer for your weapon. relatively cheap runeword that carries you through hell. once you get an exile youre basically immortal
I recently reinstalled this game after watching some of your GDQ runs, and completed the game on Normal before finding out about PlugY. I've installed PlugY now but can't seem to get my stash items to show up in the stash on PlugY. Every time I switch over to PlugY it deletes all my stash items - but keeps my gold?? I have a backup of my saves so it's fine, but I'd love to be able to use PlugY. Anyone know what's going on?
How do we handle 2nd wave in patch 2.4?
What end game gear do you recommend for pally after all this leveling?
How does a hammerdin deal with magic immune unraveler baal minions in 2024? Holy bolt doesn't work anymore, I'm stuck
Just found a Goldskin lol.
Any suggestions for a three open socket crown?
I don't remember the runes having orange font. Did that change come later?? I did play LOD
It is from a later patch indeed.
I guess, many players used mods to make runes easier to spot between all the white items, so Blizzard decided to officially change it because it really makes sense to give runes a different colour than a random common item.
Inmunity are op in this game, look how easy it is for Hammerdin compared to other classes, for sure one of the things i hate the most about D2. I dont know why they didnt go for high res monsters like 90% dmg reduced, but 100%? Come on!
Better question is are immunities OP or are hammerdins OP? Lots of people in D2 hate the hammerdin because it's so much easier than the other chars, rather than hating the other chars because they can't kill like the hammerdin. It's interesting!
@@MrLlamaSC yeah, in my opinion i would buff other characters to be around hHammerdin level. I just think difficulty through inmmunities is lazy design, imagine as a new player you go to Hell with your awesome fire Sorc that you are loving some much and all of a sudden you cant kill a Fallen, it just feels wrong in my opinion.
about the andariel bug i quit by mistake just after i kill her and it seems fine for me (dormal defficulty) she dont drop gold only items..
Twitch chat sure is unrelenting with the obnoxious running jokes.
@I am potatoe there is
Can a zealadin make it through hell? I'm MFing all of his gear currently, on single player and he's not a ladder character.
Outside of his gear and skills.. Are there additional stats to watch out for? Crushing blow, ect. This Will hopefully be my first ever character to have beaten hell solo.
Thanks! 🤙🤙
crushing blow and lifeleech helps a lot. if youre having trouble with mana burn, play around with damage taken goes to mana. once you get an exile youre basically immortal
What is your opinion of the runeword Principle for poor pallies?
duress or lionheart is much more worth it, depending on skills used
No ubers! I fell asleep watching last night and didn't see how that went.
check back tomorrow morning :D
@@MrLlamaSC Link? to that old.. video
The robot voice person is very funny!
