I quit d2.

[ghosts2003]

I know its not easy, but, I did rushes to get what I had before. And when I rushed I'd have my sorc with a MF bot on in the background. It takes time but its worth it.

You just shouldn't quit though.. I've quit d2 before but I just end up playing later, but then I have no items characters or anything. Its just easier to keep playing. (if you play alot like me)

[[The Reaper]]

Wait, so if you get nked 16 times you'll get popped?

I don't even rush my friends when they offer to pay me.

I still have a ton of shit, I know - but gah, this is so stupid.

"Realm Characters: The corpse with the most gold value (in items) will be saved between games. So keep this in mind when putting on equipment to recover your corpse. Your original body with your equipment should save unless you manage to equip yourself with a greater value of equipment, die, then leave the game."

The gold value was probably really close.

Sorry to hear pant. Maybe next time you'll learn to not equip more gear when you died.

Yup, I know it's my fault; but it's still not fair.
I need to make the ultimate NK'er killer. Any ideas?

[Dynafrom]

Its good that I learned that before I got godly :p A good NKer is a trap asn :p

[Silent_killers]

Thunder storm is good for NKing.

[PantallicA]

I meant NK Killer... So I can kill those stupid trap assassins.

Axe Barbarian


NOTE: This is for a AXE barbarian. It will NOT work for swords or mauls.

1. Skills

First of all. There are several skills you'll want to max. These are: Battle Orders, Whirlwind, Axe Mastery and Shout. You'll want to put the rest of your skills on Iron Skin. Don't forget to put one skill on every non-weapon mastery and battle command. They'll help out, trust me. Put no skills on any of the skills not mentioned. You'll want the pre-requisitories. And that's it.

2. Items

I would suggest an Enigma with a very... VERY low strength requirement. Like a light plate enigma or a mage plate enigma. For weapons, I'd suggest one of the two following combo's: Doom (Beserker Axe or Ettin Axe) and Eth Breath of the Dying Beserker Axe, or Doom (Ettin Axe or Beserker Axe) and Beast (Ettin Axe or Beserker Axe)- either would be great for you. Angelic rings and amulet are a must. They make you hit very often with a +life add. For boots I would suggest Imp's, as they are the choice boots for any character. I would suggest high steelrends or dracul's grasp, both are perfect. As for a belt, I'd suggest perfect vitality add Verdungo's- as they're best for any melee character. And of course, the helmet: Arreat's always. If you want it socketed, I'd suggest a 40/15 IAS. It will make your barbarian that much better. Oh- and for charms. You use all the skill trees on a barbarian, so any +barbarian skill grand charms would be great for you. Also, stock your inventory with 100 poison damage small charms and vita small charms. And an Annhilius small charm always helps out. (Alternative Items)

For those of you who can't afford the items above, I would suggest the following: Death Cleaver (maybe socketed with an eth rune), or any other axe that does decent damage. For a shield, I would suggest stormsheild no matter what; as it is the best shield- and without mad damage, there's no point in using double axes. Other good shields would be Medusa's Gaze or even a Lidless Wall. For a belt, Verdungos shouldn't be too hard to get, but if you can't afford that, then get a razortail, nosferatu's, or something else to that effect. Rings: most unique rings are okay. Get a Manald Heal for mana steal if you have none else; also use a ring with stat add, as long as it isn't energy. For an amulet, if you can't afford a +2 amulet of any kind, then use a +1. I highly reccomend Highlords for a +1 amulet. For gloves, any gloves with stat add and/or mana/life leech are good. Same with boots, but gore riders shouldn't be too hard to get, as I find them all the time. For armor, I highly suggest a stone or something with damage reduce. Like the Shaftstop armor, which has 30 damage reduce. Also, a steel carapace would do good. Especially if you put a pul in it.

3. Statistics

Here's what your stats should look like for the best results:


<center>Without Gear</center>

Strength: 40-60

Dexterity: 80-90

Vitality: 300+

Energy: 10-20


I use that setup and it works for me... But I have 369 vit, which gives me almost 5k life with my bo... So I can take a few hits from an assassin, plus you can just tele to them


Edit: My enigma has 110 str req, lowest is 30.. But get a good one with at least 1300 defense... Your other items should give you enough str to use it.. With all of my items equipt i have 175 str...

[PantallicA]

GG, that's exactly what I just lost.

[ghosts2003]

Well you asked for a char to kill NKers and i gave you how to make one..lol you didn't say "Excluding the items i lost"

[PantallicA]

My barb had trouble with good trappers =/ Even though I had 85 light res and 20 sorb. Trappers are still a pain

I think I'm gonna make my firetrapper.

[ghosts2003]

Allittle old, but do you have an orb sorc? they work ok 2.. if they have good damage

[PantallicA]

Orb sorcs are too nub for me. I actually think I want to make my fire trapper.
I'll make a FT/ISO list in a little while.

[ghosts2003]

Orb sorcs sometimes work though, I've never made a firetrapper so goodluck...

[PantallicA]

I have a firetrapper on West, but I have no gear for her. Still, she is able to rape some mediocre characters. She's fun, too. Different. I'm gonna use her.

[Corona_Time]

Pant, I feel you pain, had the same thing happen one time with my hammerdin loning all the gear to a friend perfect everything took me like 6 mos to get. Now I'm really getting bored of the game and have like 100 runes and nothing to do with them. Everybody is wanting the same item and the new runewords are boring alread, GOD we need a new patch and for ladder to reset.

[ghosts2003]

Corona you could toss some of those runes this way.... 6 months to get hammerrdin stuff?

[[The Reaper]]

Well, since no one else seems to be yelling at begging, I could use some stuff too, I started ladder last week. And trappers aren't good nk killers becasue you have to stay out of town for them to work. So I'd say a blizz sorc, because you can still kill people naked with 10 gcs, so when you're naked, you run out of town, cast, and try to run back in.
