Diablo 2: Sacrifice Paladin vs Hell Duriel 

This is true, but like the Sorceress uses Static Field as a skill for those initial chunks of life, Smite is often too tasty a skill to pass up for boss fights, especially with open wounds and crushing blow. I did, however, use Sacrifice more against the Ancients, so I'll link you the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cURD25MR9Ag.html

No wonder his name sounds like a condom brand.

By far the hardest boss in the game. Diablo and Ba'al, you'd think would be harder, but nope. They're jokes compared to him.

@Jack Dude duriel is a lesser evil, diablo is the strongest among the prime evil on raw Power ask google.

@@Ehrle6969 not gameplay wise though

@@VGamingJunkieVT hardest boss is lister the tormentor if ur doing single player

Yea lame... Only thing which i hated in D2....

can u beat duriel 1v1 without running back? ehehe, but yeah, i dont like the way he does this.

@@scottwarren4998 depends on ur build. a summoning necro has to in Normal. but most builds don't need to if made right and played right. the very first time i faced duriel, i was using a fire sorceress. i beat him without going back to town. i just kept kiting and firing. my cold armor slowed him down which was good.

DOORIEL LOVES YOU!

best music is act 4 town music

thats why any new diablo game will never be better than d2 LoD

lmfao

@P4 Magic find and small resistance charms are useful. Any attribute charms or other are useless yes

@P4 You mean movement speed faster?

Modighen you should play on Single player, there's a forum section dedicated to D2 single player on diablo.Incgamers. They even organize multiplayer sessions over Hamachi and TCP/IP. Everyone in this small community is super nice.

+Modighen What an odd little bird you are.

Well, make a better sacrifice pali than, thats fine to go against the meta but your equipment is average at best for the most part, you're in your 70s which isn't great or anything and you ended up using smite to fight duriel for most of the battle?..why!? And you went back to town twice showing you struggle just like everyone else does at hell fightning him so this doesn't even promote your build in a good way.

It would have shown what matters is accumulating forum gold for enigmashakomararachgriefexile, and I didn't want to spend more time watching a message board than actually playing the game. Also, smite doesn't miss and even if he's missing 3/4 of his health bar, there's still plenty left to remove. I could have followed bots to have an early-90's paladin, but that's not how I roll. It would have been better promotion, but I'm not trying to get people to stop playing hammerdins. For what it's worth, he does better against Diablo.

And for what it's worth, even if you didn't like the video, I appreciate the feedback because it's something I can work with for the future. I know this wasn't the best example of showcasing the build, but I want to use obtainable gear and walk the character rather than just take the quickest path from A to B.

Butcher can easily be killed if you play as a sorcerer. Simply cast a fire wall spell on a door, then close the door. The Butcher will be pressed up against the door and will burn quickly.

+John Ferris rifters are so fun to play, agreed

mark12347160 I'll keep it in mind, although right now I'm trying a build or two this season on USWest and I hope to have some a them showcased with "cheap" stuff. And thanks for noticing that I walked this build with stuff that didn't involve "perfect cahrs."

i remember 8 years ago while i was playing diablo, i were necromant propably and killed him at first try but it was so fucking hard. duriel should be main boss

+DarkLeviathan8 Heh. Kids in this case are a term for their maturity, not their age. A lot of the people still playing the game can be indistinguishable from twelve year olds who think the only thing that matters in this game is a top duelling character. To which I retort "what's it like to win a manhood waving contest by default?"

Modighen Well my bad then, when you put it from that angle, you're totally right

i have been playing this game since i was 5.. now im 19 and still playing.. when your comment was writen i was only 17 so yes.. there were under age people playing xd

I did say Ancients, but I did change the wording since it's so easy to miss.

@@Modighen ye I saw Ancients. you mean Talic Madawc and Korlic?

+Morphogenesis13 I wasn't aware that RU-vid needed another Diablo II video featuring a cookie cutter paladin build with enigmashakomararachs and a Last Wish Desert Mercenary. I've been thinking I need to start calling my videos "Poorman builds"

+Modighen even a pair of goblin toe's would have doubled your speed and if you were to craft some CB gloves, cheap and very easy things to get.

+Morphogenesis13 Not a bad suggestion, because I agree that Crushing Blow is important but I'll posit you this: Gore Rider + Crushflange makes 48%. How would the extra 15-25% double my killing speed given how it works (and having to give up that damage bonus from Laying of Hands once I'm satisfied with the level of crushing damage?)

+Modighen didn't even look at your items previously, you said poor man's build so I didn't expect you to be running around with gores...and use holy shield, please

Should have mentioned earlier. I have a video of this character versus Diablo, it took just over 30 seconds (which oddly has less than 800 views).

This game is pretty easy once you learn how to play it. That stuff will make it quicker, but none of that is really necessary.

Well obviously, it's about pathing and stay layout and strategy, I beleieve these were meta rules, you didn't have much viable build by gears and skills to make your builds stronger, with an emodin and these skills etc, I was able to do players 8 1.14b in hell, I ran into an issue fighting undead because this skill kills you and the gear won't leech undead,was going to do some life replenish small charms but I haven't found any.

@@chaseleim4773 I missed the memo about builds being nonviable if you don't do players/8 and I just decided to walk him based on budget gear online during the Ladder. I didn't see the point in following a max dmg build from JSP. Dracs, lifetap wand might help a bit with undead. I had one, but my hireling's Lawbringer keeps invoking Decrepify, which I found helpful. This character did walk past Ancients, but I stopped before Baal for some reason. I think Ancients can be tougher in some ways.

I don't have that problem anymore just had to hit some levels....my res was -20 and I was in act 5 at level 60

Fantacism works best with vengeance as you need lots of attack speed as vengeance only hits something once very dangerous if you get surrounded. Then use an act 2 Merc with infinity to provide the conviction aura.

fanaticfloyd I did an dedicated Avenger a few seasons past and have some video of him on my channel. I've always overlooked Sacrifice when I've walked paladins in the past, and I tried that out when I walked this paladin. While it's not as easy, I still enjoyed this far more than a Hammerdin or Smiter, even if I did resort initially to Smite.

+Werner Heisenberg His Holy Freeze aura causes 7-8 points of damage and 35-40 with his attacks, so I'm not bothered by the cold damage. And because it's Holy Freeze I can't shrug it off the slowing effects unless I have a level 7+ Holy Freeze aura.

+Modighen Thanks for replying

Act V, Qual-Kehk will make them available to hire once you free the prisoners from their pens in the Frigid Highlands.

It's called a mercenary and that's cool but nobody cares so be quiet

@@aaronaustin9814 no you be quiet, triggered kid

@@GenMaster my comment is a year old so you stfu fucking scrub this dude commenting complaining about someone using a mercenary

@@aaronaustin9814 lmao look at this angry bird 😂

You can click somewhere on the life/mana globe and it will display it for you as opposed to having to guess. I've never installed maphack, even though Blizzard seems to be ignoring the vast number of people with 3rd party programs like maphack and pickit.

Modighen I was dead against it for a long time but I got killed twice by people using tp Macro's and it was either get chicken hostile or stop playing online. The game is only fun for me Hard Core so you can imagine my frustration over losing characters to cheaters that Blizzard was doing nothing to stop. Seriously all they had to do was make going hostile have to be mutual and people like me and three of my friends would have never used maphack. But instead they released Warden and we all just went to single/Lan games. Unfortunately we all got addicted to MH in the process. I just reinstalled D2 last month after about 6 years and am really hating not having MH. The biggest thing is having to stop at every boss pack and put the mouse over the boss to check for fire enchanted instead of the mini map telling me. This makes physical chars very annoying to play. Also not being able to tell things like if an item is Eth or has sockets without picking them up.kind of sucks. I don't know shit about computers so it was one of my friends that got us MH and another program to open all rune words, randomly spawn Uber D, and enable us to open Tristam. Knowing me I would end up downloading a virus :) Also wow I didn't know that about the mana/life balls. I tested it and my char just moved so I thought you were full of shit but I kept trying different places and it seems like it only works near the bottom.

...

I had an Aldur's Rhythm with three Amn runes (for 31% life leech), plus a wand with life tap charges, which I used more near the end of the battle. Deadly Strike isn't going to help me much in Hell difficulty unless I spend a lot of time trying to trade for some crazy runeword, and I don't have the patience for the wuw/wug game anymore.

@@Modighen yes many AMN runes will make it right don't worry much ill got this 👌👍💪😎

@@Modighen btw.. Ill fine a unique weapon that has a lot of life steal and return damage and ill make it 6 socketed then put 6 AMN rune easy.. Dont worry ok.. 😎 Ill build one💪👍👌

Mostly because his fire and cold were well buffed up and I lacked particular gear to get those boosted properly.

Modighen I don't get it though the difference between a topaz and a emerald vs two diamonds is only 2% plus they boost the other two. So even if you didn't need the extra 38% it would give you more freedom to move around charms (if you use them for resistances). On one of my characters I just dropped some res charms to get life/mana ones for similar reasons. I think you just thought it looked cool to have resistances over 100 on the shield lol. Hey it's all good I've driven a convertible with the top down in 10'c weather :)

Tyjohnable It's a good point, really, I just saw that his lightning and poison res could use a big boost and was too focused on that.

Hammerdin, Zealot and Smiter are meta for a reason, but is there a point to having another video of those builds? I figured that since Sacrifice is one of those skills that everyone ignores, would it be possible on budget gear to get this build past Hell Baal? And the answer to that question is "yes."

Ideal strategy would be two handed weapon with massive damage, like how you do with chargedin. I honestly don't know why did he even bother to go one hand if he's not even gonna use holy shield

+GatoVetusto Eso fue muy util. Gracias.

Nub is what you have in your pants. Noob spells noob you noob.

lolleonlolable I wanted to do something other than the usual fight against Diablo or Baal. I could have planned it better, but I think I'll leave it up to show that even half-assed, he's a viable build. I don't put up any video to try to show that I'm "pro."

+lolleonlolable Did you want to show how much of an ass you are?
