Well, let me do the NM hellforge on my sorc as there's a chance it could drop there, and I'm right by it on my save. I'll see if I can get out of work in a bit and have a go

1 in 11 chance so I won't socket mine just yet.
What are you planning to use it for?

I was going to socket the lidless wall with the act 5 quest and then put an Um in it to get +22 resists. Or I suppose I could put a perfect diamond in it, and use +19 resists. Bit cheaper

I assume that as I went offline with my character for the start, that's all I can do with him? I'm not too bothered about online, but curious in case I wanted to give it a try.

Yeah, offline chars are just for offline only use. Also, I think you still need an active connection when using an offline player, as it apparently intermittently connects to the battle.net servers to validate and authenticate your copy too. But that could just be an internet rumour - not sure.

Bit cheaper Yeah diamonds are generally better value in shields. I got another Viperskin yesterday (+1 skills, 30% fast cast, 33 all res, beautiful for any caster), stick an Um in that and you should be golden If it's for a melee then Duress (Shael Um Thul). Crushing blow, open wounds, all res, enhanced damage (yes), faster hit recovery.

Yeah, sod it, I'll just use a diamond. An Um rune isn't worth the extra 3% resists. However, that viperskin + um sounds quite tasty!
If it wasn't for work, I'd be on that fucking hellforge right now

Bloody um runes. Well, bloody any rare runes. Um isn't tooooo bad to find in Hell or to cube up, I've had 3 so far and a few Puls/Lems. Beyond that they're frikkin awful though. Got one Gul and that's as high as I've found

I imagine hell countess runs + a million fucking chipped gems is the way to go.
Does MF affect rune drop rate?
|

Post by Danno on Oct 22, 2021 14:21:36 GMT
Not at all.
Lower Kurast superchests are another option. Still rare of course but they can drop up to Ber I think and you can find 4-6 chests in a couple of minutes.

I'll have to start optimising some runs. Teleport helps massively.

Post by Danno on Oct 22, 2021 14:56:41 GMT
Yup. With enough fast cast and hit recovery (and faster block rate if you built for max block) you're unhittable by anything but extra fast fanaticism packs while blind teleporting. Putting about 10-15 points into tele means it's infinite unless you get manaburned.
Makes Meph, Andy and Countess running a breeze.
More server shenanigans this afternoon. I hoped that the PoE patch would have seen loads of people switch over but seems not :/

Yeah, it's only mana burning mobs that stop me at the moment. Well, and if I accidently teleport into a not-very-savourable-position. But it's fun.
Bloody servers. B.net have always had problems ever since D1 b.net ffs.

Jeez. Just bought this (again) on PC. Didn't realise I was going to have to twiddle my thumbs waiting for a space.
ETA: bit of a piss-take, really. Can't play offline either without having first logged in: and while my position at 218 didn't decrease, it certainly shot up fast enough.

I nearly double dipped with the pc version but I've got so used to the controls on the controller, i actually think it's better as you can directly cast via various buttons as opposed to selecting and then casting. Got its pros and cons but feels pretty good

Added. Once I got on, it was good to see my Xbox character came over alright. Only on Act 2, so a little ways behind you pair...
