I agree with your rankings, but let's be honest here - without these random dangers, our 90+ characters with good gear would trample Hell x8 and all of us would have stopped playing long ago.
You're not wrong there, regularly having monsters that are more dangerous than act bosses appearing any time, anywhere, without warning. You can't get better suspense than that.
im actually pretty sure llama is not complaining at all he is just "stating" things no? apart for that yes the things is that in a lot of game ur end game character is just unkillable (there is a game called D3 for exemple :p :p ) in D2 whatever character u are playing u know it can be finish in a couple of second . and surely makes it absolutely terrifying and incredible at the same time ... no place of underestimation . when i see high level 95+ HC player on D2 i find it absolutely stunning how they can achieve that ...
Hey MrLlama, thanks for this video, as a new player it's really helpful! I've seen these attributes on mobs before and I know I could have just looked up what they were, but it's really useful to hear your take on them to learn way more than I would have!
What was broken about it? Any character have attacks to count it. It's just people don't want to use them. I use to clear the place easily on my Barb. Use regular leap to get to them. Zerk them down one at a time. It wasn't hard. People made it hard. Was it slower sure. But trying to kill them before you get cursed was a great way to die. You are swinging a bam the cures and you're dead.
Cursed monsters removing your experience shrine 2 seconds after getting it share the number 1 spot with extra fast extra strong, lightning enchanted, mana burn dolls! 😭

Absolutely agree! However some of the affixes affect different character classes differently so for instance mana burn + extra fast can mean DEATH for a sorceress and enchants are worse for melee characters, etc...
Wasn't there also a bug with lightning enchanted where if there are too many charged bolts some of them would become invisible? And then with the fire enchanted plus light enchanted combo you can get killed by an invisible bolt :D?
Absolutely loving your videos, thank you for all the information and hard work! Ive always been into watching vids like this to learn the meta of games and you deliver the info the best. 🤙
Favorite: Extra strong, extra fast cursed boss group in the vicinity of another - Might or Fanaticism enchanted - boss groups, the first preferably being Moon Lords. At least, the Frenzy is irrelevant as by then, you already are dead.
With high resist and absorb those where actually fun. I had a javazon that took out the throne room council gang in open games. While the other players hid.
This is why Lord De Seis is the most dangerous superunique boss in the game. Always extra strong with fanaticism, then he almost always amps you. I also love tping into a extra fast extra strong doom ape pack in LK super chest huts. That’s an Insta death right there.
Thank goodness they took Iron Maiden out of the curse rolls. That used to be the worst. Well, that and the multi-shot lightning enchanted. That was insta-death too.
Nothing beats 1.07 multi shot lightning enchanted, which was basically able to one shot every build while being totally invisible, you can only hear it’s voice. I loved it dude.
Just did a countess run, she was slightly outside the room with holy fire enchant, and I ported into the room and there was another unique pack in the room with fanaticism, and another pack at the other door with conviction, pretty much dealt with the whole list multiplied all at once.

Cold Enchanted 9. Lightening Enchanted 10. Spectral Hit 11. Magic Resistant 12. Stone Skin 13. Teleportation
During my many runs on PlugY months ago when I did my Mephisto runs every once in a while the fire ghouls elite pack that spawns behind him in his chamber area would be aura enchanted….usually Might aura. He one shot my super geared merc and if not careful would make quick work out of you….so yes Aura Enchanted should be 2 or even 1. Fanaticism archers in the Pits say hello…
It's amazing how common it is to just walk into a room with 3 uniques and a group of champions and only when the loot starts dropping notice why it took you so long. Or that's just my Summoner/Necro. It's probably just my summoner/necro. (Good lord can skeletons last)
i would move teleport, stoneskin, and magic resist further down the list lol. generally, such they're just total non-issues. honestly, hard to argue with your placement on almost all of these. only one i'd change is probably "cursed" but idk how far i'd actually move it. xD another great video Llama! always great to see your stuff, keeps me wanting to play.
A separate list for bonuses that murder mercenaries would be cool. For that list I'd put things like multishot way up top. My dude gets wrecked by those shotgun blasts.
I think what's killed me most is either conviction aura on souls or pit lords, or extra strong + extra fast on death lords. Cursed archer packs as well something to be careful of.
Lama this is from google Fire damage will be added to the monster's attack, amounting to 66-100% of the physical damage. So some creatures fire damage is physical damage that’s why your first resistance didn’t work just letting you know
Every time after you give your personal explanation of why that affix is deadly... all I can hear in my head is the already famous quote: "NOW THATS A LOT DAMAGE".
I mean, I've been a casual player for years and this whole list gave me horrible flashbacks of deaths. I can't imagine how many high stakes deaths Llama's had in so many circumstances. That's like war PTSD stuff...
as i wrote its one aspect that make the game awesome there is no way uu can relax ur constently need to be aware and watching what u will encounter .. and as u remind us not even necesserely in hell ... good exemple
With my summoner Necro, I faced the Ancients in Nightmare. With 24 in both Raise Skeleton and Skeleton Mastery. A single point in Skeleton Mage yielded 3 or 4 Skeleton Mages. I use SM for cold : the slow. By the time I was down to one Ancient, the Mages were gone. But all 10 regular skeletons survived to this point. To a physical immune Ancient. Stubborn, I wanted to see could I still persevere? I switched my Clay Golem to Fire Golem. My attack to Teeth. My curse to Decrepify. The skelliebros, all 10, survived 41 minutes of fight. All my mana potions were used. Teeth, at a few damage per hit did way more damage than the Fire Golem which made me wonder if the Fire Golem’s damage is actually set at the right amount. As I recall, the skill description had the Golem damage of fire and magic types to be 10x what Teeth did. But Teeth was the star of the show. But all 10 skellie a survived, and a Fire Golem can out-heal an Ancient’s damage the is slowed by Decrepify. At least in Nightmare.
How about Gloams with triple cold/fire/light enchanted (which all gets added to their lighting strike) + Dolls with extra fast, conviction, amplify? ;D
do multi-shot lightning enchanted mobs exist in d2r? i havent encountered one yet...I remember the MASSIVE rolling charged bolts from it back in the day though
Is it still the case of a lightning enchanted mob with manaburn is hit and his electric shock hits you (like beetles) does your mana get burned as well? I know it was like that back then.
I have an issue with Chaos runeword, I keep getting stuck then teleported when I whirlwind with my assassin, this is pretty gamebreaking. Does anyone know if theres a way to fix this?
When I played Summon Necro sometime some years ago, I had Thresh Socket who spawned with Cursed, Fanaticism, Extra Strong, Extra Fast and Physical Immune. All my skeletons and revives were one shotted and I had to restart game. Then when I went to the see Thresh Socket the next time, he was easier to kill but in the crystalline passage had a possessed wraith which was also one shotting my skeletons and even amplify damage or decrepify didn't work. I didn't play Diablo 2 for a month after that.
The Dev’s turned everything to 11 for Hell difficulty. Inmunes... everywhere. I tend to play SSF, but really, the game was designed for 8 players. With that many players as a group, you’re basically a Beholder from D&D or a Lernian Hydra from. Greek Mythology. Paladin brings conviction, Necro brings lower resist and Corpse Explosion, Sorc Static Field, and it’s pretty much over.
Cursed is not nearly as bad as Conviction aura, unless it's combined with Holy Fire/Shock, which allows it to apply the curse without hitting you. Pure physical hits won't normally kill you due to their low base damage (150 or so at most), but elemental damage will, especially lightning, since it can sometimes roll 1000+ base damage. Also, a lot of enemies in Nightmare and Hell have elemental damage added to their normal attacks.
Anyone know on ps4 how to get the specials to highlight what they DO have? Ive tried curser over them and it just shows what they are. I have had SOME enemies show it but not new etc.
And I have to ask, are you sure Lightning enchant has a bug on it? because it carries every double effect on it, not just other elemental enchant. like, a mana brun lightning enchant will burn your mana from the bolts. multishot effect is also added to L.E. or Cursed can Amp on you if the bolts hit. Maybe it's not a bug but they wanted that way. But because fire enchant and mana burn are broken, it breaks the game
@MrLlamaSC I feel that all is missing from this type of review (Or "I actually would like to hear")... What's your advice/ best approach to overcome or avoid the high damage and/ or death? I honestly look at you as one of the most experienced D2 player and streamer so I'd like to know what's your method/ approach. No mater if you choose to add or not what I just wrote, Thanks! for the elaborate content you put out here for us! :)
Vitality dump outside gear requirements value hp/resists (mostly lightning and fire) on gear more hit a reasonable hit recovery breakpoint Know your damage and how fast you can move safely Hover over enemies and recognize monster affixes Cannot be frozen gear
Oooh I didn’t know about the Fire Enchanted explosion on Nightmare, I think my mercenary died to it a bunch. 26:10, LOL I wish I could do that with a character.
Archers can hit so damn hard lol. Even just extra strong archers can be so punchy. Also I feel like skeleton archers hit harder than like dark rogues and others...
The Stygian Dolls in Durance of Hate are the most terrifying.. Don't know what they have they always caught me off-guard died too many times with them...
Love the video. For me it's 1: extra fast 2: cursed 3: extra strong Extra fast combined with so many things and mobs are just instant death. Aura enchanted is lower for me cause about half of them are just weaker elemental enchanted monsters (the other half is pretty deathly though 😋)
I forgot about the doll speed when I came back and was mfing meph... Died quite a few times to them before I got my FCR and everything up to a respectable level.
I have a screenshot on my PC, a relic of the past. The file says it was made in 2008 Upper right corner says Maggot Lair Level 3 v 1.12 Difficulity: Hell; Expansion I'm standing as an Assassin in front of Warp Lust The Unholy (A Beetle boss) It's standing in the way in the middle of a narrow tunnel.

It would be nice if console was updated to match how the affix is displayed on monsters on pc. The small emblem and color can be hard to distinguish, especially when sitting across the room or hand held on the switch. Love your content
If that bothers you, try using a controller on PC compared to console. On PC when you use controller, a literal health bar pops up ABOVE the monsters head, NOT the top of the players screen. It's life altering and doesn't happen in the console version. PC version got all the good stuff...
@@madezra64 I play on ps5 and switch and I believe it shows up at both places, top center screen and above the monster you are targeting. Maybe its a setting? Not sure. At work. Can't check
@@madezra64 I'm on PS4, and that has the above-head health bars AND the tiny, unreadable immunity indicators. Truly the worst of both worlds, and I really hope we get a fix for it
I did countess hell runs with my sorceress and got killed within less than a second once. Turned out I had 2 unique archers grps in addition to the countess and between these 3 uniques/super uniques were: extra strong, extra fast, cursed, might, fanatism, holy freeze, multi shot, spectral hit, fire enchant, cold enchant if I remember correctly.
I’m a wind Druid. One of the worst I e encountered so far was a stone skin brute in act one. I couldn’t do anything with my tornadoes and he wasn’t slowed or hurt from hurricane.
Just lost my lvl 91 HC sorc by teleporting right in the middle of a pit lord boss pack with conviction aura. Lost 1500 health in 0.1 seconds from their fire breath
Extra strong with and might Aura, or Decrepify curse can one shot you. The problem with cursed is even if you kill the monster that cursed enchanted, you still stay cursed until it wears off or you have it removed.
this is very useful for me as I am getting close to lvl 95 on a riftsin. I got stacked out before I could drink a hotkeyed rejuv by a unique mini flying dragon in P8 frigid yesterday at lvl 94 and I need to know what specifically to avoid from now on becuase the death stakes are getting too high
I really, really hope they do away with d3 style affixes in d4. Mortars and laser beams make the game feel so cheap and makes all the monsters feel the same
This is also what annoyed me about boss fights in d3: you are not fighting a super tough demon, you are fighting the game with scripted events. Breaks the immersion and makes the game feel cheap. The worst was Belial.
Ran into a multishot, Lightning Enchanted Heretic in Trav (I think it was a Heretic, one of the Hell Trav casters) the other day, triple lighting beams. Dude was scary af
Interesting one - Souls can't have multi, but hierophants can, and they do indeed shoot 3 lightnings, which may sometimes get hard to dodge and rather annoying to deal with, especially with low light resistances
Cursed is so nasty. I did learn recently that Fade reduces curse duration though, so that's something! (Treachery OP). But it also reduces shrine buff length.
I cannot even get off of Hell Spider Forest because 2 extra fast boss pacts spawned next to each other. I escaped the first one, only to be charged into and killed by the second. I took me 5 more death to get my corpse back and exit the game. The second one even has Might
MrLlamaSC, what would be your worst combination on the ancients that you can imagine and you are not allowed to re roll but IronMan it out? I would go for something like: Korlic(Jumper): Extra Fast, Holy Freeze Aura, Mana Burn Talic(Wwinder): Cursed, Conviction Aura, Extra Strong Madawac(Thrower): Fanaticism Aura, Lightning Enchanted, Multi Shot I do not think that anything can beat this realitically, but perhaps with pure dumb luck.. maybe. What ar eyour thoughts on that one?
Wasn't there one that increased the HP of the monster? Didn't extra strong also increase their hp or something like that? I thought that was especially bad with Fire Enchanted, because the corpse explosion when the boss of the group dies is based on his HP?
Extra fast demons with this weird wind aura that deals damage... I got surrounded before I realized I'm in danger. Then I got basically stun locked to death.
Recently telied into a pack of Thorned Hulks with cursed, might aura, and extra strong. I swear to god they could probably one shot any character I've ever made in 20 years of d2.
concur with most of them but as a primary caster, mana burn would have to be 2nd for me and aura enchant will have to be 1st and 2nd. extra fast has to be 3rd(especially for undead stygian dolls) I found an undead stygian doll pack with fanatacism and extra fast before. Insta-death lol had to reroll that meph run because there was no way i was getting my body back.

some of these multipliers along with some of these bugs explain why sometimes a level 30 valkyrie suddenly absolutely *melts* out of nowhere
It's amazing how common it is to just walk into a room with 3 uniques and a group of champions and only when the loot starts dropping notice why it took you so long.
Or that's just my Summoner/Necro. It's probably just my summoner/necro.
(Good lord can skeletons last)
Well im in the middle of my play through and most of my time is spent waiting outside the room for something to die at the door, so I can explode it.
i would move teleport, stoneskin, and magic resist further down the list lol. generally, such they're just total non-issues. honestly, hard to argue with your placement on almost all of these. only one i'd change is probably "cursed" but idk how far i'd actually move it. xD
another great video Llama! always great to see your stuff, keeps me wanting to play.
A separate list for bonuses that murder mercenaries would be cool. For that list I'd put things like multishot way up top. My dude gets wrecked by those shotgun blasts.
I think what's killed me most is either conviction aura on souls or pit lords, or extra strong + extra fast on death lords. Cursed archer packs as well something to be careful of.
Lama this is from google
Fire damage will be added to the monster's attack, amounting to 66-100% of the physical damage.
So some creatures fire damage is physical damage that’s why your first resistance didn’t work just letting you know
Every time after you give your personal explanation of why that affix is deadly... all I can hear in my head is the already famous quote: "NOW THATS A LOT DAMAGE".
I mean, I've been a casual player for years and this whole list gave me horrible flashbacks of deaths. I can't imagine how many high stakes deaths Llama's had in so many circumstances. That's like war PTSD stuff...
I was surprised when a NM Fire Enchanted Ancient one-shot my lvl 90 Amazon. Thanks for explaining! Great video.
as i wrote its one aspect that make the game awesome there is no way uu can relax ur constently need to be aware and watching what u will encounter .. and as u remind us not even necesserely in hell ... good exemple
With my summoner Necro, I faced the Ancients in Nightmare. With 24 in both Raise Skeleton and Skeleton Mastery. A single point in Skeleton Mage yielded 3 or 4 Skeleton Mages.
I use SM for cold : the slow. By the time I was down to one Ancient, the Mages were gone. But all 10 regular skeletons survived to this point.
To a physical immune Ancient.
Stubborn, I wanted to see could I still persevere? I switched my Clay Golem to Fire Golem. My attack to Teeth. My curse to Decrepify.
The skelliebros, all 10, survived 41 minutes of fight. All my mana potions were used. Teeth, at a few damage per hit did way more damage than the Fire Golem which made me wonder if the Fire Golem’s damage is actually set at the right amount. As I recall, the skill description had the Golem damage of fire and magic types to be 10x what Teeth did. But Teeth was the star of the show.
But all 10 skellie a survived, and a Fire Golem can out-heal an Ancient’s damage the is slowed by Decrepify. At least in Nightmare.
Worst Case:
Group of Death-Lords: Extra Strong, Extra Fast, Fana Aura
right next to them
Second Group: Might Aura, Amp Dmg, Mana Burn
How about Gloams with triple cold/fire/light enchanted (which all gets added to their lighting strike) + Dolls with extra fast, conviction, amplify? ;D
Ded
Extra fast dolls... and pick two other things I guess
do multi-shot lightning enchanted mobs exist in d2r? i havent encountered one yet...I remember the MASSIVE rolling charged bolts from it back in the day though
The fire enchanted nm thing makes so much sense now i remember loosing my tanky ass pali with capped res to griz when i was clearing trist while bored
Talking combo mods is the most animated i have seen you! Other than grail hehe
Is it still the case of a lightning enchanted mob with manaburn is hit and his electric shock hits you (like beetles) does your mana get burned as well? I know it was like that back then.
I have an issue with Chaos runeword, I keep getting stuck then teleported when I whirlwind with my assassin, this is pretty gamebreaking. Does anyone know if theres a way to fix this?
Act 2 Nightmare for me was all cursed. It was absolutely miserable with a Zealot Paladin
When I played Summon Necro sometime some years ago, I had Thresh Socket who spawned with Cursed, Fanaticism, Extra Strong, Extra Fast and Physical Immune. All my skeletons and revives were one shotted and I had to restart game. Then when I went to the see Thresh Socket the next time, he was easier to kill but in the crystalline passage had a possessed wraith which was also one shotting my skeletons and even amplify damage or decrepify didn't work. I didn't play Diablo 2 for a month after that.
Extra fast/extra strong and mana burn are definitely my least favorite. The mana burn is just so damn op lol. Thank you for the info!
The Dev’s turned everything to 11 for Hell difficulty. Inmunes... everywhere. I tend to play SSF, but really, the game was designed for 8 players. With that many players as a group, you’re basically a Beholder from D&D or a Lernian Hydra from. Greek Mythology. Paladin brings conviction, Necro brings lower resist and Corpse Explosion, Sorc Static Field, and it’s pretty much over.
Extra fast and mana burn suuuuuuuck
No wonder I had no idea what was happening years ago. So many bugged interactions
Cursed is not nearly as bad as Conviction aura, unless it's combined with Holy Fire/Shock, which allows it to apply the curse without hitting you.
Pure physical hits won't normally kill you due to their low base damage (150 or so at most), but elemental damage will, especially lightning, since it can sometimes roll 1000+ base damage. Also, a lot of enemies in Nightmare and Hell have elemental damage added to their normal attacks.
My heart dropped when Extra Fast came up in the list.
I'm all for an experience exactly as the original game with D2R, but I wouldn't mind a fix for Mana Burn + Fire Enchant
i never even considered mana burn a glitch. just seemed like a fair enough legit weakness of the sorc. without it sorc is untouchable!
Anyone know on ps4 how to get the specials to highlight what they DO have? Ive tried curser over them and it just shows what they are. I have had SOME enemies show it but not new etc.
You are really cool guy and I like your videos. Keep up your great work
And I have to ask, are you sure Lightning enchant has a bug on it? because it carries every double effect on it, not just other elemental enchant. like, a mana brun lightning enchant will burn your mana from the bolts. multishot effect is also added to L.E. or Cursed can Amp on you if the bolts hit. Maybe it's not a bug but they wanted that way. But because fire enchant and mana burn are broken, it breaks the game
There was a time when triple immune was possible. Fire lightning cold immune lord de seis.
@MrLlamaSC
I feel that all is missing from this type of review (Or "I actually would like to hear")... What's your advice/ best approach to overcome or avoid the high damage and/ or death?
I honestly look at you as one of the most experienced D2 player and streamer so I'd like to know what's your method/ approach.
No mater if you choose to add or not what I just wrote, Thanks! for the elaborate content you put out here for us! :)
Vitality dump outside gear requirements
value hp/resists (mostly lightning and fire) on gear more
hit a reasonable hit recovery breakpoint
Know your damage and how fast you can move safely
Hover over enemies and recognize monster affixes
Cannot be frozen gear
Oooh I didn’t know about the Fire Enchanted explosion on Nightmare, I think my mercenary died to it a bunch. 26:10, LOL I wish I could do that with a character.
Lol for sure going to be looking out for "shooty dudes" a bit more! 😂🤣😂🤣
Magic Resistant should just be renamed as Elemental Resistant
The thing is, Magic is its own element. You can do plain Magic damage just like fire/light/cold.
yep, meanwhile mana burn gives real magic resist lol
Archers with might, extra strong and cursed was the most terrifying thing, that i have seen in the game.
Archers can hit so damn hard lol. Even just extra strong archers can be so punchy.
Also I feel like skeleton archers hit harder than like dark rogues and others...
The Stygian Dolls in Durance of Hate are the most terrifying.. Don't know what they have they always caught me off-guard died too many times with them...
Love the video.
For me it's
1: extra fast
2: cursed
3: extra strong
Extra fast combined with so many things and mobs are just instant death. Aura enchanted is lower for me cause about half of them are just weaker elemental enchanted monsters (the other half is pretty deathly though 😋)
The most eye opening experience of playing a bone necro for the first time is that cursed is actually not the worst thing in the world anymore.
I forgot about the doll speed when I came back and was mfing meph... Died quite a few times to them before I got my FCR and everything up to a respectable level.
Multi Shot Gloams? this is definitely some wish list material
Got to love spectral hit, fire enchanted, extra fast stygian dolls
I have a screenshot on my PC, a relic of the past. The file says it was made in 2008
Upper right corner says Maggot Lair Level 3 v 1.12 Difficulity: Hell; Expansion
I'm standing as an Assassin in front of Warp Lust The Unholy (A Beetle boss) It's standing in the way in the middle of a narrow tunnel.
Magic Resistant Mana Burn Stone Skin
Immune to Physical, Immune to Lightning
And yes. I was stubborn enough to sit there for hours to hit it down. "There's no way I'm save quitting on hell maggot lair lvl3" - thought 2008 me The screenshot was taken with it's HP halfway through. "If I only knew about the existance of the teleport staff back then." - thinks 2021 me.
It would be nice if console was updated to match how the affix is displayed on monsters on pc. The small emblem and color can be hard to distinguish, especially when sitting across the room or hand held on the switch. Love your content
If that bothers you, try using a controller on PC compared to console. On PC when you use controller, a literal health bar pops up ABOVE the monsters head, NOT the top of the players screen. It's life altering and doesn't happen in the console version. PC version got all the good stuff...
@@madezra64 I play on ps5 and switch and I believe it shows up at both places, top center screen and above the monster you are targeting. Maybe its a setting? Not sure. At work. Can't check
@@madezra64 I'm on PS4, and that has the above-head health bars AND the tiny, unreadable immunity indicators. Truly the worst of both worlds, and I really hope we get a fix for it
@@twisted_karma8537 Doesn't for me D:
I did countess hell runs with my sorceress and got killed within less than a second once.
Turned out I had 2 unique archers grps in addition to the countess and between these 3 uniques/super uniques were: extra strong, extra fast, cursed, might, fanatism, holy freeze, multi shot, spectral hit, fire enchant, cold enchant if I remember correctly.
Did you buy a lottery ticket after that because that's some insane luck lol
this is the d2 gods giving you the 1 finger salute for sure.
Just an addition - cursed + light enchant will curse you with lightning bolts aswell :)
I’m a wind Druid. One of the worst I e encountered so far was a stone skin brute in act one. I couldn’t do anything with my tornadoes and he wasn’t slowed or hurt from hurricane.
Just lost my lvl 91 HC sorc by teleporting right in the middle of a pit lord boss pack with conviction aura. Lost 1500 health in 0.1 seconds from their fire breath
Extra strong with and might Aura, or Decrepify curse can one shot you. The problem with cursed is even if you kill the monster that cursed enchanted, you still stay cursed until it wears off or you have it removed.
Is the nightmare fire enchant bug still a thing in D2R?
Thank u sir.. Love this topic..
this is very useful for me as I am getting close to lvl 95 on a riftsin. I got stacked out before I could drink a hotkeyed rejuv by a unique mini flying dragon in P8 frigid yesterday at lvl 94 and I need to know what specifically to avoid from now on becuase the death stakes are getting too high
I really, really hope they do away with d3 style affixes in d4. Mortars and laser beams make the game feel so cheap and makes all the monsters feel the same
Yeah, exactly. They don't manipulate the monster's innate abilities, they just add shit you have to run around and try and dodge.
The d3 mods are more arcadey
This is also what annoyed me about boss fights in d3: you are not fighting a super tough demon, you are fighting the game with scripted events. Breaks the immersion and makes the game feel cheap. The worst was Belial.
Yesterday i got an extra fast with holy freeze cow right over the red portal, with a lot of cows density and a stone wall over the other side
Ran into a multishot, Lightning Enchanted Heretic in Trav (I think it was a Heretic, one of the Hell Trav casters) the other day, triple lighting beams. Dude was scary af
I remember losing a few HC chars to Fire + Lightning + Multi-shot monsters when d2x first came out
Interesting one - Souls can't have multi, but hierophants can, and they do indeed shoot 3 lightnings, which may sometimes get hard to dodge and rather annoying to deal with, especially with low light resistances
That's very interesting and all, but what about BagelGirl? ;)
Cursed is so nasty. I did learn recently that Fade reduces curse duration though, so that's something! (Treachery OP). But it also reduces shrine buff length.
Everytime I have an XP shrine I immediately run into a pack of cursed monsters 😑
I cannot even get off of Hell Spider Forest because 2 extra fast boss pacts spawned next to each other. I escaped the first one, only to be charged into and killed by the second. I took me 5 more death to get my corpse back and exit the game. The second one even has Might
Allways depends in the character, but over all i agree 😄✌🏻.. thanks for your content Mr.llamasc
MrLlamaSC, what would be your worst combination on the ancients that you can imagine and you are not allowed to re roll but IronMan it out?
I would go for something like:
Korlic(Jumper): Extra Fast, Holy Freeze Aura, Mana Burn
Talic(Wwinder): Cursed, Conviction Aura, Extra Strong
Madawac(Thrower): Fanaticism Aura, Lightning Enchanted, Multi Shot
I do not think that anything can beat this realitically, but perhaps with pure dumb luck.. maybe.
What ar eyour thoughts on that one?
Wasn't there one that increased the HP of the monster? Didn't extra strong also increase their hp or something like that? I thought that was especially bad with Fire Enchanted, because the corpse explosion when the boss of the group dies is based on his HP?
prolly the most dangerous combos are souls with conviction aura, or death lords w/ cursed, extra strong, extra fast, might, fana etc etc
Well, I always thought mana burn was intended to just remove all mana.
Extra fast demons with this weird wind aura that deals damage... I got surrounded before I realized I'm in danger. Then I got basically stun locked to death.
Those were death lords (or blood lords or night lords or moon lords) using the Frenzy skill. Beefy minotaurs of death dealing.
Bro that rakinshu (or whatever its called)
in the cairn stones with lightning enchantment always gets me off guard
Extra Fast is retained when you use Revive on minions.
Do these only apply at certain difficulties
how do you know everything from LOD is the same as Resurrected?
Recently telied into a pack of Thorned Hulks with cursed, might aura, and extra strong. I swear to god they could probably one shot any character I've ever made in 20 years of d2.
concur with most of them but as a primary caster, mana burn would have to be 2nd for me and aura enchant will have to be 1st and 2nd. extra fast has to be 3rd(especially for undead stygian dolls) I found an undead stygian doll pack with fanatacism and extra fast before. Insta-death lol had to reroll that meph run because there was no way i was getting my body back.
