I'm running a

Frenzy barb with berserker axes with Grief on mainhand and ethereal Death in offand.
That really rocks.

Death is really strong against bosses. And it sometimes beat Grief.
But you need at least 40 IAS on mainhand, so Grief or botd.

Eth

Berserker Axe, let alone a 5os one.

Mephisto's Soulstone.

Ral rune in normal and a

Lum rune in NM.

Do you not get tired of repairing the Grief in the

Axe?

No, repair is part of the game.
Everytimes you sell your drop, you repair.

And I prefer a

Berserker Axe instead of

Phase Blade looking like a lightsaber ^^

I cannot remember the last time I sold something to a vendor

(except when gambling

)

After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)

I always pick items than can be valuable if well rolled.
Everytimes I get back to town I identify and sell them so it gives money for gambling.

I mostly identify items when I pick them up and immediately throw them away if they are not valuable - at least "valuable" in my estimation

For loot I only have my little cube because my inventory is packed with charms. To fill my

Gold stock I simply do trav runs.

Instead of selling stuff, i put anything halfdecent or better in stash, and then every hour or so i check for a "Free items" game and go drop them off there.

I do this, too - but I mostly put these items in my free stash tab because in free games everyone grabs what he can and those who could really use an item often do not get it.

I’m actually planning to make a

Frenzy

Axe barb… is everyone repairing every 10 min or so?

Tornado_OLO `263`

Not every 10 minutes but yes, you will often repair.
If you never go to NPC and that's really a problem for you, simply use indestrucrible weapons like Death and Breath of the Dying in an ethereal weapon.

I would definitely go sell items if we can some how sell from the cube. But yeah, I guess I would need to rethink my weapon choice. Perhaps Oath and Death?
