Just keep summoning clay golem facing away from the skeletons, and make sure to decrep diablo.
Might take a couple tp's to grab more skeletons if there aren't enough bodies lying around, but otherwise they should be fairly durable against most spells not lightning inferno.

I only ever use IM on skelemancer for normal Duriel (later when I respec I get rid of all curses except amp). Diablo was much easier to do with just bone spear + kiting. Faster than doing IM+golem on him and relatively easy just kiting and spamming spears (need a lot of potions though).
Baal was easier but annoying. Skellies got him down to about half health before they disappeared and I'm a lazy bastard so I just finished him with golem and merc.

Heh, the first time I summoned Diablo he wiped all my skellies and myself before I even laid eyes on him. He sometimes spams his AoE fire ring nuke in rapid succession which caught me off guard.
Edit: I'm also super proud of my amazing low-level zealot.

i suppose as opposed to bugged mephisto who'd just sit in a corner and do nothing, only boss i know can be bugged/stuck
which would be great to fix btw : P

What is your weapon? Your weapon choice decides range of Smite. If you hit very fast twice with short range you will miss second one because out of range.

Found a Mara's today! 25 resistance so exactly average but it's super cool. Probably my first kinda rare drop at the start of a season.

I don't think I had a somewhat levelled bone spear at the time, probably skilled badly.

I wasn't referring to Diablo specifically, I've had bosses get stuck in multiple games. I usually load my last save when that happens, but in some games restarting is a pain in the ass or I'm super frustrated and was on a very good try when they get stuck.

Really hope this announce ladder starting this week, would really suck if it was around the same time as next poe league

I didn't have BS skilled at all, I only used the skill from the wand and it's relatively easy to get +2 or +3 BS wand from Drognan on normal - just find the map where exit from Lut Gholein is next to him and reset his inventory by going in and out of town. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to find a decent wand to kill Diablo with.
|
is there an option to show amount of sockets while item is still on the ground?
|
Officially, no.
If you play SP I’m sure u could find an item filter that displays it. Blizz’s stance on item filters is still cloudy which is why I wouldnt suggest u try it on multiplayer.
|
I’m curious if the dev team will update PC’s button mapping(to how console is done) so that we aren’t slaved to left click right click. Would make playing hammerdin or kicksin easier on the arthritis and carpal tunnel. We’re old men now.
|
Yeah they shouldn't allow any addons online unless specifically supported cause that opens the door to a lot of cheats. It's better to implement the feature into the game. Still looking good and hopeful with the anti cheat from what I'm seeing. There is still that screen freeze that can kill any HC char at any time that needs fixing before ladder I hope.

Thanks! Yeah merchant optimization is one of the cool things that can make a huge difference in d2 and where I can always learn a little more.

Yeah. Took me a bit longer to find my wand as I was looking specifically for +3 Bone Spear non-enchanted bone wand with 2 sockets (or just plain one that I could socket later since it'll get exactly 2 sockets from Larzuk for the White rune word).

I made a summonmancer for the first time and I found that out the hard way. My merc, skellis and golem just melted instantly. I revived my merc a few times and realized it wasn't going to work. I ended up just shopping an IM wand
and stockpiled a ton of potions. Tedious but it does work...

Make what you want out of it.. Its just weird xD
So with 20 RS + 0 SM, skeleton always died. I.E fire ring did more than 200 dmg.
With 20 RS + 20 SM, skeleton took .15*360= 54 dmg.
And this without any Summon Resist to its disposal.
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Skeleton_Mastery
At SM lvl 20 Skeletons without RS have 160 HP.
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Raise_Skeleton
"+ Life from Skeleton Mastery is applied before +% Life from Raise Skeleton itself. Skill description incorrectly calculates total Life by applying + Life from Skeleton Mastery after +% Life from Raise Skeleton."
At RS lvl 20 it gives +850% Life.
160*9.5= 1520 HP. Subtracting 15% dmg from that: 228 dmg does the fire ring against Skeletons.
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Act_4_Summary_(Normal)#Chaos_Sanctuary
Diablos average fire dmg is 67. 228/67= 3.4 times dmg against pets.
The average dmg against myself were 200-133= 67 dmg.
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Damage#Defender
"Evil" does 400% dmg against pets. That would be 67*4= 268 dmg. Quite close to my observations BY MY OWN EYES (i checked life bar on skeleton and guessed % life left).
This one is solved.

Playing single player, is there any reasonably reliable way to get a Phase Blade?
I'm been slaughtering cows for hours but only found one thus far, and that had 1 OS, so it was useless. I'll probably need quite a few until I can cube a 3 OS for Crescent Moon on it.

When leveling as a summoner necro, whats the smoothest way to level skill wise, max SR 1st? or mix in mages and mastery?
