The problem with your analysis is that ladder play was never intended to be the style of play where you end up with all top-line gear on several characters. When is ladder play dead? Shortly thereafter, because bots have flooded the realm with OP gear.

When is ladder play packed? Right at the beginning of the season, when items are scarce. When finding a girlfriend and having children is ‘easier’ than building an endgame item, I think something is wrong.Įspecially when skill isn’t a factor at all in building that endgame item.īots are a problem for the long term health of ladder seasons. I don’t want nor defend bots I want playing the game to be worth my time, because one high rune in 20 years of playing, so far, isn’t exactly keeping me interested. Griphon’s Eye, Stormshield, 5/5 die facets: Lightning, poison and fire, 2 skeleton mastery marrowwalk, ethereal 2 skeleton mastery Marrowwalks, Shadowdancers, Arachnid Mesh, Shako, Shako, godly crafted gloves and amulets (…)Īnd meanwhile, my highest rune drop this ladder is Gul – from hellforge and once again another Gul from cows. So far this ladder, these are my self found finds:Ģ sorceress torches, 2 druid torches, 1 assassin torch, 2 necromancer torches, 1 amazon torch, 1 barbarian torch. Nihlatak is worth it only because he’s surrounded by high level monsters, but would be useless if it weren’t for his key drops and minions. You get high runes faster by clearing the monsters on the way to Diablo and just leaving after clearing the seal bosses than by killing Diablo, if you’re running effectively, because you can kill 20 monsters by the time Diablo spawns and dies – which beats his odds of dropping a rune. I do Andariel, Countess, Summoner, Duriel, Council, Mephisto, Diablo, Nihlatak and sometimes, Baal – check lower Kurast – plus cows.Ĭows is by far the best area for farming runes – beating Chaos Sanctuary by a large margin because of monster density.īugged chests in Lower Kurast is the second best, but you can’t run lower kurast on Bnet.īosses doesn’t make the top 10 list of ways to get high runes Envy: a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck.
