Ah ol' trusty Smoke, back in 1.09 when rune droprates were much lower and you couldn't upgrade them past Thul (not like there were a lot of runewords anyway), Smoke was just something special. I put that on a Mage Plate and an Archon Plate and i was basically done with my armor for my chars. I still use it every now and then nowadays.
IMHO one of the biggest helpers is to just make sure you (and merc) are leveled up to the same level as the areas you are entering. Normal is pretty easy so you may find yourself advancing to NM before your character is up the same level that NM starts in. Also just stacking hit recovery (check for breakpoints) and life is huge. Keep an eye out for those Grand Charms early on, they can come with nice FHR and Life bonuses. Dont enter Hell with any less than 1000 life! just my experience
Love when I can catch a video before I leave for work! Thanks for the helpful content! As a new d2R player coming from d3 and other Arpgs in the past, your channel has really helped me understand the mechanics
Weirdly enough, both of my characters that I’ve put through Nightmare I’ve found separate copies of Venom Ward, the Unique Breastplate. It adds 90 to poison resist, so my armor single-handedly takes care of one of my resist categories. I upgraded one of them to a Cuirass for additional defense, and it’s carried my Druid through to Act IV Hell so far.
That last tip especially ! Im playing on Hardcore & I swear the make or break is just grabbing the life & resistance charms & piling that stuff up. doesnt matter if theyre great, getting 100 extra life or 20% extra res total for inventory space trade off is WORTH it !
Half of my characters are wearing String of Ears, Infernostride or both. Also found Hotspur recently and it's a great thing for starting characters; not half bad when upped, either. I would also mention Nightsmoke; one of the very few belts that give All Resistances; and Tearhaunch boots which IIRC are the only boots that also give all resistances (good tri-res boots obviously give more total resistances, but they are rare, pardon the pun). Interesting how at character level 29 suddenly a lot of great gear becomes wearable at once (String of Ears, Venom Grip, Infernostride, Skin of the Vipermagi etc...) In a sense, level 29 is the actual "coming of age" for characters -- it happens usually early in act 3 normal when playing with players 8 setting. Pity I was never able to get there in time for normal Duriel tho...
there is so many good runewords you can make off nm countess that can carry you thru hell, kind of a shame that so many items are rendered useless by runewords
When you're high level tho, StormShield is pretty good to prevent dying when doing things like seal popping and nihlathak runs on a sorc. I socket it and add a perfect diamond to stack those res.
I am DA smoke guy, like, everybody in my circle of heroes wear it LoL Frozen Orb? Smoke. Zealer? Smoke. Fury wolf? Smoke. Singer barb? Smoke. A melee Necromancer who uses a super rare dagger, cube upgraded, Larzuk socketed, with lots a bone made armory like a Kiss band member from the 80's? You guest it! SMOKE.
Hey thanks for this video! Good reminders about some of these items, as a hardcore player. What website were you using to look up these items? I noticed that in the item descriptions for rings it shows "rarity," which is a really useful piece of info. I didn't realize that dwarf star and raven frost have the same rarity for example (188.7 / 1000).
It's not so much that the Hell mobs hit harder and you need better defense, but that these mobs have magic immunities that render my skills useless. And sometimes two groups of mobs have two magic immunities which just happened to be both of your main element damage types then you're really SOL. It makes me think that Hell is not meant to be soloed.
Why I love melee characters. The few physical immunes aren’t that bad to deal with. And you can farm earlier places like the Countess or Chaos sanctuary/trav to get runes for The Lawbringer.
That constricting ring that isn't enabled looked incredible. That would be pretty broken so I can get why it isn't a thing but that would be badass. Lol.. That life drain would just be too easy to negate.
One of my favorite small gaming channels. Keep up the great content Phil. Also, I'm a working stiff, too. Don't have to apologize to me about a dirty work shirt.
Dirty looking work shirt?? My man, you are wearing the construction tuxedo! That's the most professional attire I could wear to work! :) Good health and I hope to see you continue to grow dude!
Love the videos just remember, absorb is flat numbers not percent but they block the number plus heal so it's almost a double amount then what it says!
I think what i'd like as an expansion to this is where best to find these items. Budget doesn't mean jack squat to offline play where you cant trade for anything. Is it just nightmare andy/meph/pindle/shenk/baal/etc?
Dirty sloppy work shirt? That's it, I'm outa' here.. the only reason I subbed was for the fly blouses. Anticipating with each notification, I wonder, what dope shirt will Sweet Phil be wearing today? Keep'em coming!
ayyyeeee comment for the algo oh damn you got like 2k subs in the last week, nice. Ive been watching those numbers climb since d2r came out must feel good
Whats the best place to get tal rasha crest (without trading with other players)? I know its not super rare but after farming 10+ hours in nightmare still not finding it
Sanctuary would always be on the smiter i'd use to farm torches... for those 3 runes you can't get anything better. add a kira's and a smoke armor and you're almost there regarding resists against that pesky mephisto aura (which can defenitely 1 shot you with 3k life if your resists aren't high enough)
My only issue is Cold Immunes, I am completely stuck in Act 2 Hell with my Sorc. Already wasted 3mil+ gold trying to get the Viper amulet. Stuck farming NM Baal, hope to get some upgrades.
If hell is -100 resistant so why does it matter? Im not in hell yet but can you explain? If your resist in nightmare is 60 and mines is 50. So when we go to hell -100. What is the point now? Won’t both are resistance just become 0?
If you have no great with resistances on you will have -100. So you take double the damage essentially of what the elemental attack does. Your merc is different. His base resistance is based on hits character level then plus what's on his gear.
My progress is stalled at the moment as I got through Norm, NM pretty quick and then spent a few days mfing gear to do hell. After getting bugger all for a sorc a HoZ dropped so I chucked all the caster gear on a paladin and the HoZ and he gets through Hell (with help). Eventually I traded for a Wizspike and can pretty much solo everything in Hell except for Baals minions (2nd wave) so I usually just skip Baal altogether. So I've spent the last week or so farming 3-4 hours a day on the paladin (farming almost everywhere I can) looking for better Merc equipment and Sorc stuff so I can go back to Sorc and the only thing I found for Sorc was a plain Monarch. I don't even have a socket quest to use but it's not deterring me only that Hammerdin's without enigma are bloody slow. I'm not sure what to do atm since I can't farm the Council within a decent time frame, I can't get to Meph without getting stuck in every doorway and even Countess runs (while slow as hell) haven't yielded any rewards. I'm thinking about restarting with a Trapsin but even then with a merc using a Voulge Insight, Vamp Gaze helm, Smoke Runeword Eth Curass it's also going to be slow and 4os merc weapons just don't seem to drop. Any ideas?
For me the Nightmare was easier than Normal, cuz in normal I just started the game without any OP item. I've made my mercenary's Insight pretty fast and only made my Spirit after a bunch of Nm runs and a few painful Act I Hell runs, did Countess 1 or 2 times max. Hell Act I is beating my ass, just like my Mercenary is overly powerful than me. WTF!
Drives me nuts that there are runes that are simply impossible to get unless you're willing to treat this game like a full-time job. No one will trade them away unless you have more of the exact same rarity level of stuff to trade back...which you can't get without having a great farming character...which you won't have without having this items. There are too many losers who do this all day every day, and they attach artificial value to digital items from a 20 year old game, and it quickly undid any nostalgia/excitement I had reserved for getting back into it.
Skip them. That's what I do. The only ones you can't is the first 3 baal waves. The last 2 you can even lure out of throne room. All you technically can but the don't like to follow you.
There are only 3 unique charms i believe, thats anni charm from diablo clone, torch from ubers and geeds charm which gives magic/goldfind. All the rest are magic quality
Struggling at the last act 4 area…doom knights, and venom knights elites are just too stupid… I struggle with gold for resing the merc and buying pots…
If your merc can do some okay damage, try bugging him and run the area again. You'll be more of a target, but if you can run and gun while the merc gets hits in, it might help. Plus it will save scads of gold. MrLlama has a merc guide or you could just search for merc bugging.
Nice video. I would add also spirit for weapon (the shield slot is not so budget because the base item is harder to find). A small correction - Thundergod's vigor gives flat 20 Lightning Absorb not 20 percent. Which is still good. As for the damage taken reduction tooltips I am kinda surprised to see the physical vs magic damage reduction. Ingame the tooltip of items like Stormshield it's "Damage reduced by X%", not PHYSICAL/MAGICAL. Which is this site you are looking at?
What I really need to know is how to have a merc in hell without having to babysit his ass with teleport every 5 seconds. I got that dude a 250 defense stealth, 5% life steal with like 35% fhr and a 150 damage pole and he gets giga nuked by act 1 trash
BRO I have not even found chance guards, nagelring or a tarnhelm yet and I have almost beaten hell with my sorc. But I sure as heck have found 2x ist runes(not from a forge) an ormus and an andariel visage... like bro how can I be so lucky and unlucky at the same time
Similar luck here. Made it all the way to hell Diablo with my sorc surviving off budget gear (stealth, lore, rhyme). Kept dying. Went to farm nm Andy. First run. FIRST! SOJ. Did about 200 more runs (nm Andy and Meph), found a gold wrap only. No other useful gear. No nagels lol.
Lol good Ole the constricting ring. I used to rock 2x along with that bugged magic mf ward bow with 1100 mf. I had like 1800 or 1900 mf on my bowazon lol.
KoKoMal is nowhere near "budget". It's close to the WHOLE budget 45 days after starting play, and i knew very well how to start out well, having played original D2 for many years, including doing a lot of modding on it. Mal is currently the highest rune i've found one single of after almost 2 months of playing, while i have found exactly 2 Ko in that time. Along with 2 io, 5 Lum and 2 Pul. And that's ALL the runes above Hel so far. Lum likewise, definitely not budget. Attainable in a few weeks, absolutely, but not THAT easy for someone brand new. And there's nothing budget about those unique rings. In 2 months, i've found a total 3 unique rings, all 3 of them the level 7 one.
All those items are not budget. I stopped looking at 6:00. If I could have those runes (Mal and Ko ?!!!), or the string of ears, or all those other things, then I would not be needing to be watching this, I'd know it all already.
when i went through act 5 hell i had 15 mf but tgods andys helm smoke 2 spirits demonhide boots rare gloves dwarfstar and 98 mana 28 fire resist blue ring on sorc lool. ifelt tanky 26 all resist blue ammy i think
If you struggle at nightmare, you are just not in the mental condition for solid, average PC gaming and should get a console that provides hints like "Hit enemies to kill them". Hell indeed is a kick in the balls with the first char.
Rhyme basically makes a lot of budget unique and set shields obsolete. Resistances, blocking, and cannot be frozen is just too good
That's one of the biggest gripes most d2 players have against runewords. They're just too good and "1 shoe fits all" gear.
Yes going from Nightmare to Hell is like going from T1 to T16. I love it trying to survive it so far not do well. Appreciate the great video.
sweet phil sporting his level 3 leather armor.
Looks like he's wearing a blinkbats lol
@@GStaxxx86 he is up for that hit recovery early in the run 😆
He needs to cube dat shirt for some slots for his smokes.

fire and lightning are by far the deadliest, right before cold.

Nightmare is the best early game experience.
I recomend people to stay in Nightmare up until 75-77lvl.
Fast killing, no immunes, lesser pool of items.
there is so many good runewords you can make off nm countess that can carry you thru hell, kind of a shame that so many items are rendered useless by runewords
you sure ?

Got a Kiras Guardian Tiara drop in hell and that +67 all resistance carried my sorceress to end of hell.Way less deaths especially in act 4 and 5.
blizzard needs help keeping the servers up
Thank you!
I will be looking for this stuff.
On the highway to hell struggle bus atm. 😩
Whats the best place to get tal rasha crest (without trading with other players)?
I know its not super rare but after farming 10+ hours in nightmare still not finding it
You wont find Tal Rasha chest in NM only hell. Try the pit lv1/2
Once long ago, i got Tal Amulet from Blood Raven NM (1st kill)
It was very pleasant experience.
"I'm not high" then proceeds to add 40+70=120 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wans about to point that out.. hahaha
Lmao noticed it too. It's okay though 😂
Your new name is officially: Sweet "don't sleep on it" Phil
Question. If I'm a Necro, does my MF go to my Merc and all my summons or no? It's usually them getting the kills so I thought I'd ask.
Sanctuary would always be on the smiter i'd use to farm torches... for those 3 runes you can't get anything better. add a kira's and a smoke armor and you're almost there regarding resists against that pesky mephisto aura (which can defenitely 1 shot you with 3k life if your resists aren't high enough)
Whohoo! I actually have one of these items on my level 42 character (Infernostride Demonhide Boots)! Yay!
My only issue is Cold Immunes, I am completely stuck in Act 2 Hell with my Sorc.
Already wasted 3mil+ gold trying to get the Viper amulet.
Stuck farming NM Baal, hope to get some upgrades.
you have to ignore and dodge them early. and later on the merc will deal with them
So any sugestion if i got some rune like vex,mal?what should i do?
biggest struggle i had in hell was trying out foh before clearing A2 and 3 ...
man, your channel is underrated. thanks for the infos
what if you’re an offline player?? trading and whatnot is out of the question how. do i still get these
I don't struggle to much with surviving, but actually hitting the enemy ;)
If one wants a Ravenfrost where should they look ?
but which armor should we make them on?
That constricting ring dude :D
If hell is -100 resistant so why does it matter?

Ya dude the ward shield! lol I found one day 2, and socketed it with a P diamond, it has 69 (nioce) to all res. Havent been able to replace yet ha
For me the problem is all the damn immune I’m using cold and fire sorc and still constantly run in to immune who have both so annoying
You have static field & merc, telekinesis for knock back if needed.

Dying isn't my problem in Hell even with negative resistances, it's enemy immunities.

Wizzy Spike imo is better than the Hoto.
wizardspike requires 75 dex.. that is not a caster weapon, yes?

Be careful though, repair cost run around 125k.

Never apologize for wearing a work shirt. That is a rare commodity these days when nobody wants to work. It should be a badge of honor.
