You got really lucky? Then share it with us here =)

You can see for yourself, i got yet another amazing CTA roll :

Finally caved and rolled a Grief.
And while the damage is basically as dead smack in the middle of the range as it gets..I can't help but be a little relieved and happy about that IAS roll.

First High rune ever, and it's this one?! :O

I never played on bnet back in the day so HR were always a pipe Dream for me. Since playing d2r, I found public cows have been very kind to me. Best runes I've found have been

Sur and

Zod. My friend was able to find

Ohm,

Vex and

Gul in his runs. We talked how we would get him a

Ber rune so he can make CoH and I'm happy to say that we were able to make that Dream come true after trading the

Zod + other HR for another

Sur, then made

Ber. Now he's got a decked out Fury druid so we can run ubers together. The journey to get there is probably the most satisfying experience i've had in d2r.

Went in to get my first

Hellfire Torch. (13/10 Necro, bleh)

Came out with a

Ber... :O It must have been lying around in that Sarcophagus for quite a while...

That's 2 in two days!

Nothing compared to all the runes that seem to be dropping for everyone else but... I found quite a good base and put a perfect Spirit inside

Both lucky (20/20) and unlucky (Barbarian) all at once? 5th ever

Hellfire Torch. First 4 were nothing to write home about...

20/20 is worth a lot regardless of class no?

Had an hour before I had to go to work. I don't usually play around this time anymore - today I made an exception.
And so I found my first

Tal Rashas Armor - the last missing piece to complete the set.
An absolute highlight for me

As I was farming

Nihlathak yesterday, I got sandwiched between a group of extra fast, cursed Night Lords and a group of Infidels with

Fanaticism aura right at the waypoint, and just barely got out. I took it as a sign to start a new game, but before doing that, I went to kill Pindle. This is what he dropped.

Can the team explain why this has such a high value? Can't make a runeword in it, doesn't seem amazing to a complete noob like me. Would love an explanation!

@chillzen
It's because you can put 5-5 light facets in it to min max your damage output on javazon/light sorc (or cold with cold facets ofc) and have a decent max bloc. The odds of rolling those two mods on a

Monarch are insanely low.

So..talking about lucky..I went ahead and rolled 2 Fortitudes:
Perfect res back to back..can't complain about that outcome..

I got my first

Stone of Jordan when I farm councilors the first time with my first newly-built gold-finding barbarian. Yeah, so many first, the beginner's luck.

Got my first ever

Sur rune in

Chaos Sanctuary today doing solo runs trying to get to level 93... Grueling process that is by the way.

That’s how I was trying to get to 93 too. It takes too long. Join group

Baal runs, they are 10x faster. Most people there for the XP and often don’t even bother killing

Baal.

My assassin has gained levels exclusively through farming since...85 I believe? She's now almost 94. Not that grueling tbh. Don't pay attention to the level and it feels like they go up fairly quickly.
(Certainly not farming 8hrs/day on her)

Got lucky yesterday in a 3hour period of Bnet lobby cows.
Found,

Vex,

Ohm,

Mal and a +1 Combat Pally GC.

Made a CTA (3BO) and HOTO in that 3 hours

My highest found rune before that was

Um and highest trade was an

Ist

It only makes sense for an Javazon. The light sorceress will deal less damage with this shield (cold the same, but I have not calculated for fire, but I do not think the situation will change, for lightning damage loss is more than 10%, for cold ~5%), and at the same time she will lose a lot of bonuses such as resists, fhr, fcr, life, mana.

She will deal less damage because she loses 2 skills from Spirit, then to reach the second last breakpoint she will have to wear vypermage instead of Enigma, or ring with fcr instead of soj. So putting on such a shield we lose 3 all skills (4 for cold), which leads to loss of damage and loss of many useful bonuses from Spirit.
All this I calculated with the griffon, infiniti, and other BiS stuff, because in any case, the presence of such a shield and 4 perfect lightning jewels already speaks of Wealth.

Well that's a trade, damage for max block and -%res on monsters so i do believe it has some use on sorc
