Getting psyched with every introduction of big life belt, anyone else

[spfreak]

Just wanted to say big thanks for the guides! Comin back to d2 after 20 years is awesome, did my first Uber ever today. Got lucky with the Lo rune find and made an almost P grief. GG MrLlamsc

[malafob]

Man you are awesome. You work so hard for us. Thx from Germany my friend. I watch your vids every day and have a very nice chill with you. So hyped on the hype train choo choo d2r come on :D

[theawebster]

Never forget your legendary D2 UBERS ON A MEGA BUDGET run back in 2019, that was a thing to behold. Great content, love it!!!

[Vohtwomax]

Thank you so much for the Smiter guide! I can't wait for D2R tomorrow! I have never beaten the game thru hell, I haven't even done cows ever in D2. I have learned so much from watching your play along guides, your speed running, and your end game guides(like this one). I have ALWAYS played Barb but I am going to use a Smiter for my first character. Thanks again, MrLlamaSC!!

[Jeffgoldobo]

just beat the ubers and dclone for the first time with help from your guide, thank you so much MrLlama!!!

[SparksD]

Fleshripper Unique Fanged Knife is perfect for Ubers. You can usually trade for it for super cheap, it is only good for Ubers and hardly anyone uses it or mentions it. I just put a Shael rune in it to increase the attack speed. You don't actually need Grief and it is a waste of runes imo. I would also recommend getting Zeal, because you will go insane single hitting groups all the time. Zeal is also a great way to leech health back quickly when life tap hasn't proc'd yet. I also prefer Gore Rider boots due to the extra FRW. Good guide, but I would also mention that you don't need 99 and a level 77+ is just fine once you meet the gear level requirements.

[brentrich]

Another option you have is the 1 point smiter. Invest in zeal and sacrifice and use zeal for mobs and switch to smite only for bosses. Crushing blow is your main damage dealer and the guaranteed hit from smite is enough to take on ubers

[pascalschroder]

a 1 skill point smiter guide would be interesting to see. I've seen a lot of guides online suggesting getting smite only max up to lvl 10 since the damage is not increasing that much if you max it and you're damage output comes anyways from cb.

[TheFlood]

I’ve watched a few and these and they are amazing. Thank you so much for making them.

[ОлегПолканов-дн]

Another build and another time Llama not prepared. Very interesting to look how author search through his stash looking for items.

[Kaktanternak]

Hi WallyMtl! Thanks for the words of wisdom. I know you were trying to contact your future self, but I'm glad I took a glance at the chat. Have a good day sir.

[michaelmadigan]

Mr Llama I watch all your videos and love your content. I hope all is well in your life and you can keep making awsome d2r vids

[manowartank]

3:23 - i would correct you there: When you get to Holy Shield, put every point you can in it as you level up, since it gives base flat damage to Smite and early shields are pretty bad in terms of base damage. The best shield in all normal is actually shopped Spiked Shield from Drognan in Act 2 with just 5-9 dmg... More points in HS also increase duration by a lot, which reduce mana consumption heavyly.

[Neon_Nyanian]

Guardian Angel was my armor of choice on my old Smiter that existed before runewords took over the game. 90% all resists. Two perfect Dwarf Stars and you're sporting 30 magic damage reduction with absorb (and can easily hit 50 or more). 10 points in each elemental resist aura and you're rocking 95% resistances with nullification of whatever gets through.

Throw a life tap wand on switch and you can survive any encounter.

Last Wish sucks for general combat. The blind overrides lifetap on strike and you gain no health back. It only leeches on the single strikes when lifetap procs. This of course still works on bosses 100% of hits because they can't be blinded... But you'll suffer against common monster groups as you try and fail to get life back even off a lifetap wand you keep for emergencies.

[antrei]

nice, but what all of the guides lack is to tell what works and what doesnt work with a skill, does lifeleech or deadly strike work with smite or what does work with amazons multishot in your bowazon guide. that would be great to know as a new/returning player.

[NrdWnd]

Wow I was never that early. :D
Even I can't learn that much anymore from these guides, thanks for the work!

[luckyozzy]

thanks to your guide I was aible to get my first torch ever. Its a pala torch 16res/17 stats.
Your content is great by the way ;)

[masafromhell]

"Grief is going to be the main hand, it's SUPER cheap..."
Yeah, Lo are dropping so much, you just don't know what to do with them...
