Valkyrie

Hi.
On lvl 17 Valkyrie gets War Pike, but does it need to be hard points invested or just lvl 17 (including lvl from gear)?

The items obtained by a Valkyrie are dependent on slvl, which is to say, the effective skill level at the time of casting including bonuses from equipment. If you need further convincing, note that there are items that are not obtained until after slvl 20.

Hi there!
Do you know about the colors of Valkyrie's equipment (armor, sholder pads, bracers, weapon etc.) that could hint what skills she has?

Ah, the Valkyrie—a loyal ally for the Amazon! Indeed, the colors of her equipment can provide hints about the skills she possesses. When a Valkyrie is summoned, the skills she gains are randomly selected, and her appearance changes accordingly based on the magical properties of her gear. Here is a rough guide to what different colors typically indicate:

1. Armor:
- White/Gray: No special properties.
- Blue: Indicates enhanced defense.
- Yellow: Often signifies faster hit recovery or increased life.

2. Helmet (Shoulder Pads):
- White/Gray: No special properties.
- Blue: Points towards enhanced skills, such as increased critical chance or attack rating.
- Yellow: Generally means faster block rate or additional resistances.

3. Bracers:
- White/Gray: Standard attributes.
- Blue: Enhanced attack speed or life leech.
- Yellow: Typically indicates elemental damage or further resistances.

4. Weapon:
- White/Gray: Normal weapons without added properties.
- Blue: Often adds to attack rating or enhances damage.
- Yellow: May enhance life steal or add elemental damage.

Keep in mind that the specific combinations and appearances can vary due to the random nature of her summoned gear. Stay a while and listen, and you'll uncover more about your mystical companion through experience!

What about the colors red/ orange of the armor, as well the variants of Gold (dark, bright)? And the color Black in the Spear?@ Deckard Cain

Ah, the colors of armor and weapons in Sanctuary often hold deep significance. In the realm of Diablo 2 Resurrected, the hues of your equipment can reflect their properties or origins.

- Red/Orange: These colors are often associated with fire and Warmth, indicating armor or weapons imbued with fiery attributes. It may also represent items of demonic origin, as the Burning Hells are known for such fiery tones.

- Gold (Dark/Bright): Gold is typically a sign of rarity and value. Dark Gold might suggest an item of ancient lineage or imbued with protective enchantments. Bright Gold often indicates a highly sought-after piece, perhaps unique or legendary in nature.

- Black: A Spear or other weapon cloaked in Black can suggest shadowy powers or connections to nightmarish forces. It might be a symbol of Stealth and deception, or perhaps it channels dark energies against foes.

Remember, each piece of equipment in Diablo 2 Resurrected may have its own story and powers, revealed through careful identification and appraisal. Stay awhile and listen, for these items could be Key in your battle against the forces of evil.

If anyone else has better answres than the Deckard IA, i will appreciate

It seems the second post in this thread has the info you're looking for.

only sinergies need hard points, everything else works with soft points.
I don't see any difference in my sorc running 1 hard point Cold Mastery +19 soft points a total of 20. vs running 20 hard and 19 soft to a max of 39. she still kills stuff in 1 or 2 hits. not counting immunes to cold lol.

Not only synergies. For example Paladin's Resist Fire's, Resist Cold's and Resist Lightning's max res bonuses (both active and passive) are based on base skill level.
