it v b a long time, glad you come back. Miss you logo made in black-death band logostyle

Flamebellow and its arctic blast version could be used to bug barbarian to become indestructible in the moor, where no one ever could kill you. As a side effect, sadly, you can't move or attack then :P

Hey your videos are really good. Straight to the case, with no bullshit whatsoever.

Glad to know u alive bro !

Enjoyed the video very good one

Frostwind was my favorite to use in duels with my amazon. Since the Amazon doesn't have an animation to use arctic blast, she just goes invisible if you can line her up just right against the bridge. Either that or crash your game.

5:55 That looks funny 😂😂 Best Item to troll your Party-Members 👍

Nice video Xtimus!

It has been a while since your last vid I hope you doing well I really miss vid I'm glad your back and you have the best diablo content I really enjoy it

The grandfather used to be amazing. Just like wind force was for zons. I remember hitting the cow levels w my wind force and multi shoot. Such a satisfying feeling.

my old fire druid used flamebellow. im talking insane amounts of damage in wolf form

Very entertaining. welcome back

Very good video 👌 I often find rare items so far superior to unique items 😊 oh, man, a question totally out of context hope you can help me. I play Diablo 2 every once in a while but the image quality is never good, I think for compatibility error maybe for being in windows 10 do you use any path or play in compatibility mode? (I play with the intel graphis of the notebook, maybe that's it? I don't have a dedicated video card😢 )

It´s been a long time X. Glad you are okay. LG Shin

Barbarian with Flamebellow belching some weak and useless Inferno. FAIL Assassin with black helm, black armor, and Flamebellow looking very Darth Vader in bnet chatroom. STYLE

There are a lot of uniques in D2 that will never be best in slot for any build at any time, but still would be a nice find for someone just casually playing through on single player because they are still better than the average rare item. And there are some uniques that aren't best in slot but have niche uses. But then there some that are totally mystifying, like many of the ones identified here. Anyone who finds one of these fairly or very rare uniques (like templars) will almost surely come across 2-3 or more uniques that would be better. I mean a shaftstop is better than a templars. I kinda disagree about grandfather though, I use it on my ww barb and I dig it. But I play without ladder only runewords, and botd is very expensive. I also made a shadow killer sin build but that was almost as a joke

Just found 214ed eth templars might with total defence of 2834 . I plan to use on a pvp zeal along with rare self repair boots and gloves for huge defence bonus . I also have 2 sox visionary , 465 defence helm for that build .

List is ok but I disagree with Steelshade. You said about Travmerc build with this helmet and this is enought to be ok helmet. Also Grandfather was just outshine by runewords but being on the same list with Stormspire is a bad idea.

Yoooooooooooooooo welcome back dude!

FINALLY BROTIMUS, A VIDEO!!! AND A GOOD ONE!!!

Dual wielding flamebellow is a challenging "kinda" fun build. With lots of additional + skills items and the appropriate merc who lowers resistance it's even effective!

All I read in the title was "Do you like Iron Golems?!"

I found a lot of unique elite armors to fall short. Ormos's is good, but never seems to drop for me.

Medusa Gaze maybe would be good on a "Vengance" Paladin build it hit with the 3 elements

@BeforeBalloons

2 жыл бұрын

Problem is that Paladins get Paladin Shields, which blow every other shield out of the water with ridiculous ease, except in a tiny handful of cases using Stormshield or Tiamat's Rebuke. Lower Resistances is so powerful because it will usually increase an elemental character's damage by 50-400%. A Conviction Paladin sees *at most* a 33% increase in damage against non-immunes, since they already drop monsters to -50 to -100% (which is the cap), and they're one of the only elemental builds which laughs at immunities in general. Maybe some kind of melee Sorceress could use a Medusa's Gaze, but the only definite case I could make would be a Fireclaws Bear. They rely on huge lifepools to tank, and their block speed is terrible, making them one of the only tanky melee shield-users who ignore max block, maximizing odds of casting. They have very little source of resistances piercing besides Rainbow Facets. Unfortunately, just like Paladins, they simply have a far, far better option in Phoenix, with the only issue being that it requires several high runes, which is more than a player is likely to ever see if not for bots and dupes; but then again, Medusa's Gaze itself is fairly uncommon, so...

Long time no see!

Medusas gaze is nice for fireclaw druid.

That feeling of finding your first Grandfather... Ah, good times

I remember when Maelstrom the unique yew wand was worth a shit load. This was before LoD, before there were Exceptional or Elite Uniques or Runewords, or even any elite items at all. It was the fastest cast rate you could get for a 1h item, and had +mana & light res too making it ideal for any caster. This was back when the most +skills you could get on a 1h item was +1. Also there were no class-specific items either. I think I traded my Maelstrom for an soj back then!

Medusas can be used by WereDruid somewhat in hell dificulty to wear down taff bosses. Just equip it, transform, "die", transform back, "die" etc. Only risk is to die for real, when your hp drops to 1, before you can recast werewolf.

Welcome back!!

Flame bellow is for act 3 merc?

Crecent moon is decent early on in ladder for your merc to level with. Just saying that static can be handy.

I'm a level 78 Summonmancer, and I've yet to come across any unique item. All I use are blue and gold items. Am I doing something wrong?

Shadowkiller makes a great iron golem, i have been paying Ist each for these. The frost nova procs from the golem and is great fun, especially in cows. Not a useless item, for me.

I think the problem is that the developers weren't actually players of the game, so while something sounded good on paper, players actually sought the best-case scenario for gear. Let's also not forget that the Blizzard developers responsible for D2 were probably in their 20s when they started and game writing was also still in its infancy. There's value in this though, as it adds a bit of thought process to the leveling experience. Current D3 suffers from a significant problem, where there's no real reason you'd want to pick something over anything else until you complete your first set, with a couple of exceptions that oddly add like 500% bonus damage to some skill. Legendaries might as well all have the same name.

Reduce cold resistance would not save the frostwind due to high cold resist from monster at hell difficulty, on top of that it would not work on cold immune mob, (blizzard fucked up cold dmg big in 1.10 as they try to make mob tougher and give monster super high cold resist to go against soccesor's cold mastery but also making reduce resist won't work on immune)

Install Instructions will be available on 2-8-2019

Hmm... do you have a video like... best class to play singleplayer or something of the sort. Possible Idea for a vid? Just love watching your d2 videos always

I once read a funny comment that said Kinemil's Ale is the worst unique item because it does not do a good job even when used as ale.

And if you guys want to play a server where some of these items are still top tier check us out ;) - Diablo09.com or Diablo09.com/discord

Also adding more confusion to the spiked thorn shield... you cannot use it to make an iron golem. 🤣😂💯

Thing with D2 unique in initial release was that they had no stat or level requirement, so that made them really powerful (even the crappy ones) because you could slap that Grandfather on brand new Barbarian. Drawback was that you could ever only fine one exact copy of that item. In LOD they removed that feature, you could now get multiple copies of unique item, but they now had stat and level requirement. PS I think Grandfather was also in D1, and I think it shows up in D3 as well.

@kyles8524

what release or patch is this? Cause I have the original diablo 2 version 1.00(which was the first release version of diablo 2) and unique items have item levels and stat requirements on them, also considering in the initial release there was no grandfather that only showed up in the expansion and when the expansion came out there were unique item levels and stats to wield them.So taking that all together and the fact the GF never was in the initial release...you simply dont know what your talking about lol, Yes the GF was in D1 and D3

Frostwind is not at all a bad weapon, it's just not a "primary" weapon but a secondary weapon very good at killing physically immune monsters on hell difficulty (together with Djinn Slayer). It's also good at definitely putting to rest those pesky fallen and skeletons who are being continously ressurected.

Isn't eth grandfather comparable to runewords?...

The one thing I don't understand is how you pronounce the item ethereal edge correctly and then the ethereal property incorrectly.

What is you favorite pve build?

Would want to mention Pluckeye, the 1st normal Unique Bow. Does absolutely no damage past act 1, mana leech isn't effective with that pathetic damage and the Mana After Each Kill and Life Boost can be easily gained from other items
