A wind druid on solo play definitely CANNOT beat the ubers lmao. You could possibly beat uber diablo if he spawned, but there's no way you could beat uber diablo, meph, and baal. You need to have lifetap from what I recall and a quick attack. Smiting paladins were the best because it would always hit and give you back 100% hp when you did.

I'd be satisfied with just beating the game. Also, the goldish color items are unique, the yellow are rare, so you got some decent gear .


You can beat ubers with any sufficiently geared melee character, so long as you have a lifetap wand.

Paladins were just the easiest because exile is extremely OP.


Right, but his character is a wind dude, so unless he's just going to auto-attack the ubers to death (lol), the windy druid can't do it.



You can reset your skill points in the latest patch, if he wanted to change to a fury (or whatever druid zeal was called) werewolf.

I felt like the wind guy was pretty fast - it took a long time if the enemies had resistance but otherwise it plows through enemies at a good rate. Alot of DII fans here which makes me happy...Next stop hardcore?


I never really tried hardcore much, but I also played strictly on battle.net. The last time I played hardcore I had a barbarian that was level 12 in the catacombs level III, I hit a black wall lag spike and then a minute later my character was dead - never tried again lmao. At least on single player there should be no lag, but I don't think I would be very satisfied playing a character and then having it die, especially with all the possible cheap deaths in Diablo, like the guys that shoot lightning in the Worldstone Keep, or iron maiden in the Chaos Sanctuary.


The patch removed iron maiden from chaos :/ No more random instant deaths mid whirlwind or zeal.


Wtfffffffffffffff no way? Man I am out of the fucking loop hahaha

edit; haha holy shit you're right, and respec, that's awesome!

I actually have a question for you guys: what kind of weapon should i use for maximum effect? Have been toying around with a bunch of different stuff but in the end i figured i´d go with anything one-handed so that i could have a shield for maximum protection. There are really nothing that stands out for a magician druid i feel.,
(also: does mana steal works when you do spells? T_t)
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

What kind of server do you play on (b.net/single, ladder/nonladder etc.)? And if you play on b.net, can you afford some the more "expensive items"?

A hoto flail (ko-vex-pul-thul) is probably the easiest good thing to obtain, but it would still be hard to find a vex on your own. Otherwise there are some unique druid clubs that give skill bonuses iirc

And no, mana drain only works on melee or ranged attacks.

OK thanks gheed, aka the blog master from hell.
I heard that you should run countess for runes but its pretty damn hard down there when i encounter those flying fuckers that doesnt take any damage from my hurricane. Any other suggestions where i might find those rare runes?

Ah, tlo brave enough to face hardcore
I recently started playing again because i just had to find out how awesome the "new" (not so new anymore) uber tristram is. I learned the hard way that it is not soloable with only a decent equipped barbarian, RIP

Sick D2-nerds in this blog i must say. Impressive! So what char is actually the easiest one to pick if you wanna beat it single player ? And what henchman should you choose?

uhm summon necro i think ... in hell kinda slow but easy as sh*t. second would be fire(~ball) / ice(orb) sorc with a2 merc. can't think of anothe rone right now. i prefer the paladin route...

Yeah what IS up with those puppets, you just insta-die if you even get close to them. I usually esc as soon as possible if i suspect them and then go "save and exit" - and goes back later for my runs.

See this is a bad post for me, because I cant take anything away from that unless googling for a good 10 minues.
This is single player only for me but im thinking of doing it with an archer since i love those, or maybe a barbarian. No cheating/helping with gear from other characters, that spoils the fun i think!

There's not that many choices then, just use the best stuffs you can find (a weapon with +skills, stats, life/mana, fcr, resistance). I also recommend keep using one-handed + shield.

You COULD make the runeword "Honor". It only requires low runes which are quite easy to find. It gives +1 all skill, 10 str, some rep life and mana after each kill.


I'm curious, what weapon are you using atm?

I always play hardcore(untwinked or stuff I found myself), mostly casters since they're not as item dependent. I always go for the runeword Spirit in a 4-socketed sword. Easy-to-find runes and awesome stats, +2 skill, +faster cast rate and resistance, everything a caster needs. The trickiest thing is usually to find the socketed sword though but it's not that uncommon if you keep your eyes open. I have no idea if it's better than what you're using, can't remember anything called Imp Wand, but Spirit is good.

edit: ugh, just realized it's ladder only so it will probably not work for you.

Uber solo-ing is not that easy, it is do-able on all the characters but a lot easier on Paladins I think...I forget its been a long time. Druids I am not so sure, there's probably a specific build for that.
It's just a lot more time investment, may be you can just get in one of the spawns on B-net.

Uber tristram is not available on single player (unless you use a mod). And that spell (life tap) doesn't work with tornado ^^ since spells don't lifesteal

Curse you. I saw this thread enough that I decided to start a new character. Then I saw the patch notes.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Patch 1.13d
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features

- Ignoring players is now saved between sessions of the game. All ignores are now
written out to disk (file: 'ignorelist'). This feature can be toggled by issuing
the command '/ignorepersist'.
- Users can now filter messages based on content by issuing the command
'/filtermsg <content>'. To unfilter content issue the command
'/unfiltermsg <content>'. (The maximum length of a filter pattern is 128
characters)
- Users can now set their home channel by issuing a new Battle.net chat command
'/home <channel name>' while in the Battle.net chat interface.
- Users can return to their home channel at any time by issuing the command '/home'
while in the Battle.net chat interface.

Battle.net Chat Reminder

Battle.net provides a number of ways to manage in-game spam and communication from
other players. Some of these commands are:

/options ignorepublic (/o igpub)
- Ignores messages in public chat channels from anyone who isn't on your
friends list.

/options unignorepublic (/o uigpub)
- Reallows messages in public chat channels from anyone who isn't in your
friends list.

/options ignoreprivate (/o igpriv)
- While in private chat channels you will not receive messages from anyone who
isn't in your friends list.

/options unignoreprivate (/o uigpriv)
- Re-allows messages in private chat channels from anyone who isn't in your
friends list.

/options ignorewhispers (/o igw)
- Ignore whispers from anyone who isn't in your friends list.

/options unignorewhispers (/o unigw)
- Reallows whispers from all users.


They spend more time making Diablo 2 better than they do battle.net 2.

Think I will make a bowazon this time around
