I had a lot of fun putting this video together, especially the Nihlatak part. Sorry if I tricked you for a second at the end screen :D Thanks for watching and have a great day!
@@ChronologicalLogic thank you so much! I’m still trying to figure out what a good video length is. I’ll be experimenting going forward to see what’s more popular. I’ll definitely try a longer format in the near future 👍
You make some really great videos it's a damn shame you have such few subscribers. You got a +1 from me though. Love the videos just watched 3 of them.
Thank you so much for the super nice comment! Subscribers will hopefully come in time, right now I’m super happy so many people have watched the videos and with the nice responses on them.
Thank you!! 🙏 Absolutely, I didn’t even process what I read at first. It was maybe hard to notice in the final video, but when I edited the video I noticed I kept throwing out novas long after the pack was gone, like my hand froze in its position 😅 Now I feel a strong urge to find a ber rune…
I have had a generally good luck while running arcane sanctuary, with multiple high rune drops and a key every 3-4 runs last season, so it's a great spot... just a bit awkward since you have to get the ghosts to die above the ground to get loot
Yeah having to herd the ghosts ended up being kind of a deal breaker for me, but I found the density to be better than expected, often a boss pack of ghosts too!
I started making it a while ago but I thought it wasn’t interesting enough on it’s own the way I did it so I scrapped it. I will do some hell fire torch farming in the future but more likely as part of a “building a character from scratch” video or similar
Jah rune in the dusk shroud wouldn't be the worst thing in the world... JahIthBer. That would be a scare, though. First ladder season, I ran an Assassin and she was amazing, knocked out Nihlathak almost instantly
Interesting, I would think that her traps targeting all trash mobs would be annoying/slow. What made her good for Nihlatak? DS casting CE? or was it another build?
Thanks, Justin!! I will be playing the early beta this weekend. I don’t know much about the game at all so it really depends on if I enjoy it and if it the loot/itemization feels good. I’m sure I will sink some amount of hours into it at least
Thank you, that makes me so happy to read! Re: showing gear. I definitely want to show the gear I’m using off I’m still looking for the best way to do it.
If you look closer you’ll see that it was not the countess who dropped it but a ghost that was killed after her. You’re right that she can’t drop Jah runes
Teleporting right into Nihlathak's nose is by far the best strat, he wont do this animation for corpse explosion and he will only freeze or attack you. My fav build to actually farm Nihlathak is by far javazon, map is easy to remember and you just throw 1 jav and he's dead (nature's peace is highly required tho) :D
To be fair I have never done it myself in single player yet :) but the Paladin smiter is the consensus go to for Ubers. Google/search on YT and there will be plenty of guides.
Hi I'm a noob. You mentioned you play offline. I play solo online but I'm not sure if I should do online for trading but it's always p1, or do offline to get p1-8 and static maps, but then no trading. I wonder which is more rewarding for long term playing.
I find it rewarding to find my own items and don’t care for pvp or otherwise playing with others (in d2 specifically), so I chose offline. The static maps is a huge boon. The only thing that I miss about online is ladder reset since starting over fresh is a lot of fun, but nothing is stopping me from making “self found” characters to simulate. One thing that might make me start playing online again is that they have started adding new content to the game again and most of it is ladder only for the first season.
@@zarfen Yeah I think I might go with offline play too. I like the ability to trade something that is good but that I don't use, for something that I can use, but I think trading also kind of has a lot of people who can throw expensive stuff at you and it ruins the fun, also never cared for pvp either. Btw you should make a discord server, would be very cool :).
@@lodhi6666 yeah it’s sucks finding your third shako but for me it’s “worth it”. I find especially runes are so inflated online but feels awesome to find in single player. You’re the second person to say I should have a discord so I might look into setting one up! What are you looking for? General d2 discussion? Going deep on loot and farming optimization? Just chilling and showing your gg finds? I have never had a discord server before and those I’ve joined have been a bit overwhelming with 20 different channels so if I had one it would be kinda narrow to start I think.
@@zarfen Yeah stuff like newest uploads, general discussion, farming routes and builds, help. I think most servers have more features than they really need, can just keep it simple.
The highest that the countess can drop from her special rune drop is Ist. Maybe that is what you’re thinking about because other monsters can drop much higher (even the countess can drop up to Lo but it’s super rare since it’s outside of her “rune drop slots”)
Nothing, it’s just a joke. In the original D2 people liked to speculate that you gained some sort of advantage if you clicked a gem in the menu so in D2R they added the text”gem activated” as an additional joke.
Thank you, Amy! No I don’t at the moment. I just started making these videos so I don’t have stuff figured out yet. Maybe in the future, could be fun to have more interaction with fellow D2 loot enthusiasts.
I don’t have any plans to do build guides or tutorials but since you called me big guy I feel obliged to help 😉 I think the easiest to start is a hammerdin - a paladin who uses the skill “blessed hammer”. Mana can be a problem early on but there is no shame in filling your inventory with mana potions. Focus on defensive stats like resists and life on gear. +skills gives more damage but you don’t need that really and if you’re new it’s nice to be a bit tanker because dying is not fun. Once you reach nightmare difficulty you can farm nightmare countess for runes to make “spirit” in a sword and a paladin shield. The bases can be farmed in early nightmare or late normal mode (cows is a good place to farm). Dual spirit runewords and as good gear as you can get on the other slots (again I would focus on survivability first for the rest of the gear) should be enough to get you through the game and it’s not very skill intensive. “Aiming” blessed hammer takes a little bit of getting used to but I kinda like it. If anything is unclear you can google/search on UA-cam and you will find good guides on both hammerdin or farming early gear. Here’s a couple of videos that I haven’t watched myself but I assume it has good info since it’s from @mrllamasc ua-cam.com/video/4PKrUFtWLxM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/L3JyKDmzDFY/v-deo.html Just don’t focus too much on the stuff about end game gear. Good luck!👍

Chuckled at the ending with the last destruction key drop, Sub earned.
Hehe so then the item worked.
Thank you so much, captn!
Yup same
@@kentheknight thanks! 😊
Yesterday I was checking out your channel and I was like damn I wish there were more videos. And today new one popped up
Thank you, Gray, that is such a wonderful compliment! I’m glad you enjoy the videos.
Keep up the great D2 vids! Really fun to watch.
Thank you, John! That makes me so glad to read!
That's it. I've finally found it, the loot I didn't know I was looking for. Subscribed. :)
Thanks! Loot can appear when you least expect it :D
I like this guy. I appreciate your sense of humor sir!
Thanks John! I really appreciate your comment.
That item near the end of the video was a crazy drop! great video!
Haha thank you, Lorenzo! I’m glad you liked the video!
I don't have a lot of time to play anymore but I absolutely love watching loot drop videos
I’m happy to give you stuff to watch! Thanks for watching.
This channel is criminally underrated.
Thank you so much AI, this comment made my day! 🙂

Now I feel a strong urge to find a ber rune…
The secret streamer luck setting huh? Good one :D
😁
Clicking the gem is, and always will be, the best course of action in Diablo.
If you know, you know 😏
MOAR MOAR I SAY! keep it coming friend.
Wow thank you for the kind comment! This makes me so happy to read. More videos are already in the works, but it’s a bit of a slow process for me 😅
YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too kind! 😊
Perhaps our mysterious ally will return for the Ubers video...
Who knows 😏
Was it obvious who it was from the outline?
Sub earned after last drop :D
these videos are hillarious
Thank you so much! I’m happy that people want to watch my loot videos, but it makes my day when people think they’re funny too :)
So that what that button does ha, thanks for sharing the secret! :D
Great video! dat strong start also..! :D gratz
Hmm, I might regret putting the secret out in the open! :D
Thank you so much, TopSecret!
what does it actually do? from the old version i can remember it only sends random bot chats and "moo" hahaha
@@cliburnhernandez8444 Nothing, just playing tricks on the players minds

Hahaha OK I laughed out loud at your rare item drop from Neilatheck (sp) that was really nicely done.
Any follow-up videos regarding your solo hellfire torch journey?
I started making it a while ago but I thought it wasn’t interesting enough on it’s own the way I did it so I scrapped it.

I got the keys! Now do I go to the mini-Ubers or farm for a ber to go with that jah first? Hmmm
Glad to see you back! Will you be playing D4?
Thanks, Justin!!

Has anyone ever seen a Zod drop? I feel like I've never seen anything higher than a Jah drop.
I’ve only seen it on UA-cam videos. This Jah is the highest rune I’ve personally seen drop in Diablo 2/D2R ever.
another video another banger
showing gear >>> not showing gear
Thank you, that makes me so happy to read!
Re: showing gear. I definitely want to show the gear I’m using off I’m still looking for the best way to do it.
Nice video. Try prayer merc with cure rune word in helm. Nova sorc would be immortal. There are few videos on this merc setup.
Thank you! I have not tried that setup, but I really should. It seems very nice
How did the Countess drop a Jah? According to Icy Veins, she can drop up to Vex (normal drops) and up to Ist (bonus drops)
If you look closer you’ll see that it was not the countess who dropped it but a ghost that was killed after her. You’re right that she can’t drop Jah runes
Yeah sure, take my sub that made me smile :)
Thanks! glad you liked it 😁

The funniest is necro because you're both spamming the corpse explode button
Were you just using static and nova to kill things?
Yes and my merc helped with the rest. I didn’t have a lightning sunder charm or infinity so the merc had to deal with all lightning immunes
i play single palyer whats the best way to kill uber bosses and get the torch ?
To be fair I have never done it myself in single player yet :) but the Paladin smiter is the consensus go to for Ubers. Google/search on YT and there will be plenty of guides.
what axe are you using on these runs?
It’s the runeword “crescent moon” for the -% enemy lightning resist. I think double axe is a cool base for it
@@zarfen ahh i see that was my suspicon good budget runeword for a sorc. hard to give up that mana and fhr from a spirit though

Thanks for the input!
At least it's Jah Ith Ber so it wouldnt be a total loss if you dropped it in that DS :)
I guess it’s not the worst base for enigma.
how does a jah drop in a non terrorized tower... thougt the highest that can drop there is ist?
The highest that the countess can drop from her special rune drop is Ist. Maybe that is what you’re thinking about because other monsters can drop much higher (even the countess can drop up to Lo but it’s super rare since it’s outside of her “rune drop slots”)
Why don't you make a compilation of these videos every once in a while? Like a compilation of good loots and another compilation of bad loots etc
what this gem in main menu do?
Nothing, it’s just a joke. In the original D2 people liked to speculate that you gained some sort of advantage if you clicked a gem in the menu so in D2R they added the text”gem activated” as an additional joke.
ive got a 5/5 fire facet bro 😅
I’m offline single player though 😔
@@zarfen oh 😞
I don't run the Summoner enough to have ever gotten a key.
Its my least favorite key to farm for sure. Don’t like running the summoner or arcane at all
@@zarfenI play hardcore so halls of vaught are bad for my blood pressure
yeesh I dont get near that key drop rate. Last season i was averaging 1 key per 40-50 countess kills. Same thing this season as well.
Damn! 💀
I know I got a little luckier than average in this video but that some real bad luck… Hope you found luck elsewhere!
1337 gold got me a bit
Hehe nice! I keep wondering if people will even notice those small things when I put them in.
@@zarfen some sure will
Good content keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Good D2 videos! Do you have discord community?

No I don’t at the moment. I just started making these videos so I don’t have stuff figured out yet. Maybe in the future, could be fun to have more interaction with fellow D2 loot enthusiasts.
