The Perfect Start to Season 6 of Ladder 

5:03 was a lovely line that matched up with the ominous change in tone with the D2 soundtrack. ;) It was like a revelation for the viewers. Well done, I enjoyed the video. You've got yourself another subscriber. "It's all connected in the end my friends."

Great video bro! Glad to see you in ladder! Thanks for this great content. Grats on cracking 800 subs!

This was a very nicely done video my friend. Just got yourself another follower

Very entertaining video. Good job, enjoyed it very much 👍👍

I loved how you showed every level and talked through everything. Well done man nice video. Gonna subscribe :)

This video was really well written and edited. Subscribed!

Nice to see a new video - and especially with this level of activity!

Amazing content, thanks for that video :)

spent 2 hours watching these videos at work, I love it

I've been watching d2 videos like everyday for years on YT but the algo has never ever recommended your channel. How is it possible? Weird. Btw keep on the good job!

Great video very informative and funny awesome job

watche while video, quite rare. good job! was a nice way to calm down from work:)

that super chest above mephisto is really a game changer... for years i skipped it and my friend said aye bro ur gonna get just as many good drops from that as from mephisto... and also if u can kill the council members too ull then uve tripled ur drops in 1 meph run

Thanks for making this vid! :)

This is what i plan on doing when i eventually buy d2r, cold sorc into uber pally which will then lead to highrune trades :D awesome to see the entire journey from start to Enigma.

Few tips for next season start: - Your merc can help a lot more in the beginning of the game. Act 2 merc with any pike, or any exceptional polearm generated in the cube (kris + any staff + any belt + any diamond) - combined with some rare armor with resists or if you come across something like boneflesh, venom ward, iceblink, hawkmail, darkglow... and almost any unique helm or even a magic circlet with some big elemental damage - he can carry a LOT of weight, especially with static. With a vita build, you'll save a lot of potion space for panic purples if you go prayer/insight combo. Throw on a Cure runeword for triple prayer, super mana regen and lower curse/poison duration. - that trick with chippies and wand/scepter/staff works throughout the game, so keep doing that. - 1 point in holy shield early on may not help your block % that much, but it reduces the animation to one frame. - You can save a respec by sticking with fireball and skip right to blizzard at lvl 24 - or even later. Use TirRal staff with some +skill that is useful - NM andy can be a good pit stop if you are really undergeared

Great video and voice over!

I really love your content!!

Really nice vid and guide too :)

Great content for newer players and experienced players both! Subbed , liked and commenting to boost your algorithm

Yo you might already know this but you can click shift and a potion in your belt (number 1-4) to give merc a potion without dragging it from your inv. Nice vid tho :)

30:40 Lol so true "monsters here are so scary, especially herpies and these ladies will tear you apart" lmfao!!

Now that is some proper tech support.

Awesome video layout. I'd watch a million of these videos with different builds and stuff

Great content!

I'm in. You got a sub!

Great video!

nice vid, gave u 1000th sub :)

Nice video! Similar to how we do speedruns, but slight adjustments for min/maxing other than splitting hairs for the vigor points ;) For example, don't use salvation or fanat, but resist lightning as meph does mostly lightning damage and his skeles damage does not matter. Also, this means you don't require a tgods and can use your 15dr String of Ears.

I dont play ladder, but very nice vid bro. Subbed :)

great video, I think you'd super enjoy project diablo 2. New ladder tomorrow

Gr8 video!! Would love to see you do this on HC

very nice

not playing d2r and 1st time on ur channel, but i enjoyed watching this. thank u, maybe a followup in the same storytelling fashion? anyways, gl&hf ;)

It s crazy you respec your pally so quickly. I think holy fire paladin is the funnest and strongest normal playthrough ever. No mana issues 1hit kills on everything and bosses die in seconds. But either way it all works. Weird ive never seen a video from you and ive been playing on and off since before synergies were even in the game.

Amazing video

Instead of manually dropping potions on your merc you can hit shift and whatever number potion slot you want to use and it'll hit him directly. Saves lots of time

As far as I know Korlic's cold immunity could never be broken by a lower res wand. The sunder charm "change" was simply stating that if the immunity of a monster is broken by a sunder charm, the lower res and conviction aura would still only apply at 1/5th of its value. Lower res and conviction always worked at 1/5th effectiveness when trying to break an immunity.

Mast video banaya bhai

I like Fleshrender knife + Cleglaws gloves for the slow for ubers.

This should be the textbook guide for a ladder start. 👌

All that in 500 meph runs! EpiC!!!

Just to give you an idea for the future content - Blizzard isn’t as strong until itself, at least 1 synergy and Cold mastery are maxed out. Nova/Hydra or Orb/Hydra are much better because these skills have less synergies and higher base dmg which meand they powerspike earlier but wear out quicker which is where Blizz starts to shine. Plus in a SSF playthrough you allow yourself to realistically fight cold immunes. So… maybe Hydra/Orb mini playthrough? 😅😅 Great content as always, always love coming back to your vids bro Much love from sunny Poland

Nice video dude I liked ur vibe! Try use zeal when you have a lot of mobs around you, it’ll be easier and faster to kill. Also, trading wise I’d say you made someone rly rly happy with that anni trade, but who cares? 😁 we play for fun!!! Righttttttt???

hey would love for you after you get comfortable with your strats to make this video in hc maybe next season. as this is a nice format to follow. personally i think you turned to hammers too early as fire aura rips hard all the way through normal and even into mid nm. i used to do a similar start but i would run sorc into hammerdin into seperate smiter. look forward to seeing you try hc as i recently swaped and had to throw out some of my old sc strats. its devatatingly fun.

The trade is interesting part of D2, it changes with the season and also you time vs value is always a factor. Im sure you didnt need to wait long for that um-trade - if you did you could probably get alot more but whats also depending on how much time you are willing to put into it. Time is runes in D2 am I right? ;)

you can also shift and potion number to give merc potion

Damn, makes me wanna fire up D2R again! Is there anything new in this ladder that sticks out to you as exciting?

you know what, i ate charged bolt this morning too. Also I'm typing on my charged bolt keyboard... See ya charged bolt..no I mean you

Great Video buddy, Tell me what is the name of the page is that at 18:24 where u have traded that helmet :D?

I love Diablo2..... But I never fully grasp the gameplay. In Path of Exile I can micromanage up to 10 skills/spells buttons...but I can't really play d2....and that's why I've stopped playing it... I still love it...cause I was playing it back in the days...but I never learned how to actually play it😐

AY MY BOY!

great thx

dope

Shift+1 or 2 or 3 or 4 use the respective number potion from your belt on the merc.

Hello, ty for video, what is the site for trade you use?

I played with a character named "GlobalWarming" a while back lol

That jewel is maybe worth a Mal. If it was 40ed or 15 max d (high AR can be nice) it would have be worth enough to build 2 end game chars.

watch out for those herpies!

Javalin is the must OP build, so thats torch would i do anything for in ladder 😮‍💨

Respeccing to nova in norm a2 seems wild to me

Korlic's cold immunity was never broken by LR or conviction; this has nothing to do with Sunder charms.

no point in warmth to help with mana? I know it's not much but definitely helps and no frost or chilling armor?

honestly not terrible for an early sale on a 20/20 anni

what's with the big trades being perfect amethysts? like u traded 2 pamy for a hoz? just a lil confusing, great video tho

Also hit the armor rack in mephs room

did you swap your gear when finding mephisto?

For CS - from A4 Normal, you drop it its good to go 4sockets, no need for cows

nice, how long it takes?

I'm assuming you already found a decent helm for your merc, coz that Stealskull is perfect for him.

As far as ur merc, u should have traded for something like boneflesh or skin of the flayed one or just made him a Bulwark helm since u are seasonal? I mean that’s basically a cheap vamp gaze more or less. Runes are obtainable at NM countess.

I really like the concept. I am a big fan of playthroughs. This one is a bit slow for my taste. Too much emphasis on normal/early levels.

btw try lvling pala twink with explosive bow and holy fire :) zero mana consumption

do you have a link for that map thing you used

Also - put gold in the shared stash so you wont lose gold.

Lvl to 25. Create game "need help w ancients and baal". Stand in Throne room with bot to lvl 40. Create nm game "Need taxi". Stand in Throne room with bot to lvl 60. Create hell game "Need taxi offer Hell forge". Stand in Throne room with bot to lvl 90. Takes about 1-2 days.

How many days did it take in total to get enigma?

Can't you ctrl-right click potions in shops in d2r to buy without the confirmation box? No need to switch to original graphics.

What website do you use for trades ?

if you're getting something you want/need, it's an okay trade. I'd rather get what I need right away and maybe leave a little value on the table, vs trying to squeeze every bit of value out of something and sitting on it for awhile

12:55 I think you could have gotten an Ohm or even a Lo for that one

Are prices really that bad at the start of ladder? P diamond for a hoz?

Heal your merc with shift+potion hotkey 😅

he needed to be maintain due to any life leech on his gear - ever heard of a Bulwark runeword? No?

15ias/25 ed? it's lvl 37 so it's not LLD or anything and getting anything for non-perfect ias/ED is a good deal. Um is perfect for that. They might've overpaid to be honest :P. Jah/Ist that early is good. Eventually Annis are given away for free because they become so common.

What's the deal with the perfect amethyst ? Why are they worth so much or anything for that matter ?

I love how you tuned your microphone! It's great being able to hear how creamy the inside of your mouth is.

you couldve atleast gotten a ist for that jewel, or maybe a vex!

Would like to play together with you someday

Early game… Always always go inferno and then blaze, makes everything so much faster… Add a leaf rune word (ral+tir) and you can almost players 8 all the way to Andy in hell…

How many SoJ have you sold for those Annis

Why are p Amethyst worth so much? Didn't know they were a trade currency

Couldn’t eldrich runs work as well since the waypoint is right there

I would like to play ladder but I have no character slots online left.

What’s best site to trade on?

This Paladin is mf!I think i start this game again! I hope my wife would be so cute to give me 40€😂

Ive always wanted t start d2 but i dont know how

Where do you trade?

my guy confiction Reduces enemy Defense and Resistances. No Defense = you allways get hit. Defense vs Atack rating. Its not about the Actual "Defense" in damage reduction. And for hammerdin fcr > all skill

Not sharing the map cheat sheet? Why would you sub or like this guy's video when he is gate keeping?
