1000 Andariel Runs to Gear a New Character in Diablo 2 Resurrected

Поділитися

  • I ran Andariel (H) 1000 with a new budget sorceress to see how geared I could get and determine if Andariel is worth running. The video is a summary of the runs and highlights from all the drops, as well as gear progression for the sorceress from super budget to pretty well geared. The video ends with a summary of the final stats and gear for the sorceress.
    Andariel drops A LOT of jewelry. I like to include all rings and amulets in my loot highlights since they're fun to identify, but this time I had to cut most of it out or I would have had a 30+ minute video with half of them being Manalds and Dwarf Stars.

      I know everyone has their own skill levels, but you really should be able to handle her with a hybrid build, or a focused built without much trouble.
      If you struggle with skill (I still do when I come back to the came), here's a few tips:
      -A couple bonus points in static will help you immediately reduce her health.
      -Clear out the front of her room before engaging (not the middle room. never go in there)
      -If your merc dies instantly, spending more time farming some runewords for him is well worth the trouble. Stack your belt with more health pots than mana pots to make sure you both stay alive!
      -Level up! If you aren't as good as you want to be, hit 90. Get some extra life and merc life. There's a potential you find some good loot while leveling too!
      The one thing I would NEVER suggest is trying to slowly grind a boss down. Hydras are terrible for quick boss kills until you're geared. (I'll admit, maybe I'm outdated here. But Hydras have never been good for high DPS with non-godly gear)
      Damn, makes me want to play D2 again.

      Much easier to obtain for a javazon than that diadem or whatever people are using, throw a socket into it and a perfect lightning facet and you should be good. I also have that elite javelin with lightning pierce, plus a conviction aura on my hireling and a wand with lower resist charges pretty much deals with every lightning immune i find. My entire gear combined is worth less than that diadem, still completed Hell players 8 solo, so who cares about it.

My issue with D3 was the feel of the game was way different. D2 was all about the loot and how hard it was to get it. I could not even tell you a single name of an item in D3 because 70% of the time you would find something better the next day

Then you had to farm mephisto and diablo normal to get gear for nm. Then cows for socketables. Like you were constantly going to different places and sometimes even backtracking to nm once in hell to more efficiently faem meph and diablo for the exceptional uniques that were hard to find. Idk i thoroughly enjoyed d2 and playing on single player was very enjoyable because when you found something good it was so rewarding since you didnt trade foe it. Like linding a Lo rune in single player is dang near impossible but i found one.

    Quick question: who is a QUICKER run? Mephisto or andariel? There’s no rule on how to find the stairs down right?

    • @zarfen
      @zarfen  10 місяців тому

      I don’t know, probably about the same.
      Andariel has 2 levels, but durance is much bigger than the catacombs so if you don’t find the entrance right away you can be looking for longer at meph. Maybe Andy is a little faster on average.
      There are not rules but “guides”. By looking at the layout of the map tile the wp is on is facing, you know which way the stairs down map tile is facing. That gives you good odds of it being in a certain direction, but not a guarantee. Catacombs lvl3 has no hints or guides

      This was players 1 setting. I do almost all my MFing on /players 1. I don’t think my budget character could have handled any higher. Additionally I don’t think it’s worth increasing even with better gear since the increased boss HP will increase run times(unless you have really good gear and clear her in seconds anyway). Running on players 1 I did have some runs where she literally dropped a single flawless gem and nothing else, but over time I believe it’s the most efficient.
