it's really interesting seeing your decision making process and using all the resources you have available to get through the game. way different from multiplayer where you can trade or leech off others
What a pleasant surprise! First the physical bow and now a WW barb , two characters you have scolded in the past to do a guided play through for but both uploads were incredibly interesting ! Excellent content and well played Mr L!
I made this character purely so I could do full Immortal Kings build, it's a lot of fun and pretty strong (though if you upgrade the set the tooltip shows the incorrect strength and level requirement which could catch a few people out). It's not a kill an entire screen on players 8 with 1 button character but it's definitely fun to play and endgame viable, and more importantly you look really cool.
That was my goal back in the day, I play SP and never got the soul cage to drop. Could for sure do it now though since I actually know how to play the game in viable ways and have a pitzerker with good gear and stuff now.
I love D2R, but I do wish they would add buff timers or a visual list of your active buffs. Thanks for the playthrough, always love watching them! I am definitely looking forward to what LlamaRPG offers
Have you tried the singer barb? Sure you need to go through normal as melee but nightmare was literally a blast except the ancients lol.. it is really fun just to run around and scream at monsters until they die 😂
Here's an idea for LlamaRPG: purchasable cosmetics, but... purchased cosmetics only show for the person that purchased them. That way if someone really wants to customize their own experience with money out of their pocket, they can, but doing so doesn't even give them unearned clout by letting them buy cosmetics otherwise only available through earning it.
Dual wield griefs with short whirlwinds must be GG now. Can’t wait to try it. I’d also love to see you follow through on the Tesladin/dream paladin, please!
Be higher level. Ride the edge of "I don't gain XP any more". Carry big rejuvs. In the case of melee, have lots of lifeleech, and be extra careful around things you can't leech from (skeletons).
In hardcore you usually go for max block with something like whistan's and eventually try to get your hands on a stormshield. If you can't find whistan's you can also try going with rhyme runeword. Characters without max block or a source of high DR such as assassin's Fade eventually die to something. Also something to note: I'd say experienced HC players play it quite risky until Hell and rely a lot on their skill with the game. There is no point in wasting tons of time with going extra safe until you get quite far in the game where dying becomes a serious time loss
A Cure Helm on a Prayer Merc (not useful for you) with an Insight stick can really be quite tanky. You can find Partizans in Normal cows, along with Lances. So, just in case you are playing, slow down a bit and get ready for Nightmare, he is doing piddly damage. Partizans from normal cows get 4.
@2:00 FWIW, do the math on paper and you'll see that you are not passed up by the old system until skill level 28. And then, is only by 1 points of damage, on a base of 100 damage (e.g. 266 vs. 265). So the new system is leaps and bounds better.
I mean, there is a staggering number of people continuing to have lots of interest. I'd bet most of them are around my age, 30, and have a similar experience as me, being like fuckin 7 or 8 or 9 whatever it was...buying that cool looking game box with the red guy in a hood on it. Love at first boot. I have played every single ladder reset, since LoD release ladder, except for 2. Lol. Only 2. The first one I missed, I was in the hospital after almost dying, and second time was due to being in a different state while my newborn son was getting surgery on tummy. It kinda sounds pathetic saying it out loud, sometimes...like I have never stopped playing the first game I ever got for PC haha. It was the perfect scratch for an itch I never knew that I felt. It's honestly the most consistent thing that I've done for a large majority of my time Alive. Of course I play other games, for sure. Ya know, diverse titles like , mainly PoE. A game that is totally not similar to d2....with like a reasonable and modest size a of endgame content, totally easy to understand and digest. You can very easily learn it in a play session or two and that totally doable and undaunting style of PoE just makes it the most fun, fulfilling and relaxing gaming experience ever created
@@gnubbiersh647 yes that is core to arpgs, but it gets a little old when I’ve been playing d2 since I was 8. D2r was fun for a while when it came out. Though I had more fun playing project Diablo 2 with shitty graphics.
@@jacobross9271 It's not about where, but about what! People like you don't understand, that ultimately the area will always feel samey after a while, but as long as you have a real goal what to farm, this isn't a problem!
@MrLlamaSC funny enough I was just doing Andy NM...took me 10 minutes to drop her on P8. Nothing. I thought you had a technical reason so I switched to p3, and dropped 3 uniques and 2 set pieces.
@@MrLlamaSC Thanks for the correction, been a while. Very tempting to get back into D2, never finished my single pass HC frenzy barb that stalled at Hell Worldstone.
@@MikeyStreet314 I deleted the save file along with all of my gomule files when I decided I needed to take a break from D2. Still though, there's no better way to play than from the ground up :)
d4 should have that tal tal flail as a legendary item :)) can i use d2 chars if i purchase d2r on pc, offline/single player? ***currently playing on ps4 but really missed my old chars and want to play d2r on pc.
100%, sunder charms only brings immune monsters down to 95% so infinity brings them down a ton. in addition any monster that's not immune...they're dead
1:53:48 Just a little before that someone in chat mentioned they're a HC player and they get anxious seeing MrLlama's health globe. "Oh! Hello!" And there that same chatter died of a heart attack :p RIP. Your chats of valour will be remembered :p
Why were you restricting yourself to a single page in your stash? Seemed like you could have saved more items using other pages. Unless it’s out of habit from the stash of D2
The rest of his stash is full of items from other characters and he's limiting himself to solo self-found so people can play along with him even if it's their first time.
@@jprec5174 Hardly. Capitalism is the rightful ownership of the fruit of ones labor; the only system fit for a freed man. Greed is the assumption to the right of the fruit of another's labor, which all other systems are built on.
Hey Llama I wonder what you have planned for Sarch Sadness? Because Sarch month is coming up and man you can'r miss out on that my dude, you'd Sarch your pants if you did. Maybe watch Sarch Wars: Return of the Sarch, starring Sarchbacha and Sarch Maul. Sound like a plan?
sry MrLlamaSC not your best video explaining how , Whirlwind have a massive nerf , first no debate 2 hand is dead with 5 frame but also a 213% increase ias , also 1 hand 4 frame ask in average 80% to 126% more ias mean every ias from your gear is gone and you are stuck with ias gear , and is worst for slower weapon . mean this change make only fast weapon playable or you are stuck with ias on your gear
This is how you know Diablo 4 is boring and lame lol.. Diablo immortal is hands down a pc game and Diablo 4 Is a phone game.. immortal does clans and battles and items and everything better. There is no communication or chat or anything in Diablo 4 it is completely broken.. such a let down. No ways to join others in dungeons etc… again huge let down.. Diablo 3 is better by 1000,0000000,0000 % even. It’s just crazy they are betting builds and the game is 21% done only. Pathetic
Still just at the beginning, but your utter dependence on potions instead of leech in every single video is hurting you more than ever here. A long whirlwind with life/mana leech is FAR less of a danger than one without.
Such lazy content. Doesnt even do the research when doing a guided playthrough, has to be corrected by chat always. WW changes were not good overall, there is no dmg or ar boost at end game, only helps during a playthrough which is why llama doesnt care. If he made some noise blizz would probably at least consider changing the slowing effects that now hurt ww speed, like they did when he incessantly complained about cain not identifying items in the cube.

I went back to D2 last night and got an Arch mesh and a pair of War Tavs. I miss meaningful loot so much 🥰
I went back also last night an horked up a grandfather lol
I think d4 will get there, at least uniques are back.
@@Maves916 are they really though? They feel more like rare drops with an extra little modifier than actual unique items that I want to find.
Don't get used to it. D2 is like that. Some drops in a frenzy and then nothing for 2 months. F that

Its so hard to level a melee character in D2 damnit Nice work showing us some tips Llama.
Have you tried the singer barb? Sure you need to go through normal as melee but nightmare was literally a blast except the ancients lol.. it is really fun just to run around and scream at monsters until they die 😂
You giving D4 the big F finger is badass!
ugh, this is so much better than watching D4 gameplay. You can actually tell what's going on on screen and your character doesn't move like doofus.
Watching this playthrough makes me want to play d2 so bad.

Is there a difference between the mercenaries you can get on each difficulty? Like act 2 merc from normal vs one you get in hell
I always remembered Whirlwind being a difficult build. ESPECIALLY during the good ol Iron Maiden days in Chaos Sanctuary…
It was actually one of the strongest builds when the game was released.
Because it was continually nerfed and even the devs nerfed it in 2.4 unintentionally.
"Spend a couple hours farming x" this is why diablo 2 stands the test of time and is better than d4. They got the farming right
Oh yes farming the same couple areas in the end game over and over and over again truly stands the test of time

Question. Is infinity still good after the sunder charms?. Been living under a rock and havent played for almost a year
100%, sunder charms only brings immune monsters down to 95% so infinity brings them down a ton. in addition any monster that's not immune...they're dead
Ya. Sunder charms just made it so its not impossible to kill, but infinity is what makes them get slaughtered
Youre doing Gods work.
Considering whirlwind is an item dependent skill,why would anyone level up ww beyond past the point its productive to do so.
I had 2 bloodletters and still found ww underwhelming. Nightmare was a chore.
What plevel was this?
I adjusted it up and down as the run went along. But mostly p1 later on for sure
Entertaining
why are you not able to life/mana leech from special attacks like in the old days? this is so painful to watch QQ
