Diablo 2 TIER LIST - BEST Magic Find Builds

[NBCatch]

I hope the last one is a tierlist of all the recent tierlists.

In all the time I put into D2 I never played a Poison Nova necromancer. Something to look forward to with D2R!

This tier list is useless without talking about how expensive some of these S tier builds are compared to other S and A tier builds. It’s all muddled together without context. You’re just going to encourage newbies to gun for some of these top builds without them realizing how impractical they are as first characters. For example, a new player could see that a Lightning Sorc and Blizz Sorc are on the same tier and decide to go Lightning because… pretty… without realizing that Lightning is impossible to make work without Griffon’s Eye and a Merc with super expensive Infinity polearm for Conviction Aura, whereas a Blizz or Frozen Orb Sorc are easy to gear as first characters because their gear is flexible and allows for incremental upgrades early on. I feel like just slapping all the builds on a list without talking about which ones are easy to obtain and which ones are super endgame is going to mess up a lot of new players.

For people like me who have never played d2 this whole series is amazing.

6:45 are they going to fix this bug in Resurrected?

How about a budget magic finding tier list? Basically revisit this assuming no Enigma, no Anni, no Torch, no Infinity, and all budget / self-found? How would the list change?

Thanks for the content and all these cool videos. It's much appreciated.

So if you are looking for your first magic finding character, your best bets are: Meteorb/Fireballorb sorceress, Blizzard Sorceress, Hammerdin and Wind druid. Other characters are a lot gear dependent, so they actually need another MF character to find them some items and runes already.

But you can always benefit from certain specialist characters to find certain gear. For example, javazon before infinity is still very good at finding base items in cows. Best character to find runes is the lighting sorceress. A barbarian with item find is very important for parties. The cheapest character for ubers is the Smiter.

I suggest starting with a fire ball and frozen orb sorc, to then respec into a blizzard sorc and then decide which character to build for very efficient magic finding depending on the items/runes you find from the blizzard sorc. One of your best moves would be to find a Gul dagger earlier in the game and then find the tal rasha set for a decent and fast magic finder sorc.

Its worth mentioning that rune drops are not effected by magic find at all. X players increases the amount of items any single mob can drop, and that increases the chance of runes dropping. IMO, the best way to get rich with minimum investment in gear is to build a lightning fury zon and farm hell cows in full games. You can just focus on damage and nothing else, you dont even need to worry about resistances.

Love these guides! Would also be great if you had some distinction between magic find builds that are easy to make and those who are harder to find. Or is it just as easy on any class/spec?

[johnjackson]

To be fair I agree with everything in this video. Wouldn't change and tiers. Wouldn't mind a tier list of fun to play builds, something maybe older players can return to after the bread and butter stuff and still enjoy another playthrough

I hope they fix the bug for trapsin, she is one of my favorite classes and I was considering using her early for MF.

[tomellis]

Loving all these videos man. Pumped for d2r, a tier list of 2 man untwinked characters would be a fun one to see how you would break the synergy.

[MrBytorr]

Bonemancer is at LEAST A tier! Clears entire screens with Amp + Corpse Explosion, and does it quickly due to bone spear!

[santi]

Wow I didn't know about that trap bug. I have recently started playing and noticed that i got less champs/bosses in the pits for some reason, but I figured it was just a bad map roll. Now it all makes sense

I think summon necro is a bit underrated. They can run with tons of +mf and with Beast, Enigma they can run just about any area (including ubers) about the same speed as hammerdin or a little slower but safer. Without high end gear they're terrible, but probably still better than light sorc.

MrLlama hammering videos out like there is no tomorrow, I like it :D

[YoToddYo]

Need this list for HARDCORE characters

[Mcbuggler]

summon necro is at least A tier. It's really not that slow to start off, you just do a pindle run and summon the zombies outside first, and bam your army is built, and he can solo any area in the game, including ubers. On players 1-4, it's easily S tier, your corpse explosion can kind of lose effectiveness for some reason past that, but I'm excited to get an infinity and see how that improves it.

My best advice to anyone trying to farm rare and uniques: just use a build you can survive in. Something strong that can kill lots of enemies fast. Throw on a bunch of magic find, and just go. I’m using a whirlybarb, swapping on a helm with find item, pairing my best sword with Gull for 100+ MF. It just randomly dropped, so you can use charms, rings, amulets, anything with on MF. Then just do runs. Nightmare Pit, Countess, Trav, Chaos, Pindle, whatever. You’ll find stuff.

Hello in Patch 2.4 fellow D2R player. Fohdin is actually S tier now! Whirlwind is not bugged anymore, Fire druid got buffed and Berserk has a 75 percent chance of finding items so is in GOD tier now! Enjoy
