I've been playing Diablo 2 for a very long time, but although I've had dozens of high level characters I've never entered into the mythical upper tiers of 90+ characters or had many of the legendary runes and items.
I like to think I've had a fair taste of what's out there in Diablo but there's many times where I've heard boasts that just make my jaw drop.
So here's a thread where I'd like to hear people confirm a few of the things I've heard or disprove them, hopefully explaining
*how* such things are possible.
(Additional rumours and questions welcome)
Boast 1: "10 thousand damage using a Lightning sorceress."
I've looked at the synergy lists and tried it out on
D2Skills.com - Diablo 2 Skill Planner by Chippydip, Courtesy D2items.com but can't possibly see how such a thing is possible.
Boast 2: "25 thousand damage using a Hammerdin."
I have a moderately poor 84 level Paladin and have maxed skills in all the required synergies, butl I do about 5 thousand damage a hammer. Where the hell does the extra 20 thousand damage come from?
Boast 3: "My Sorc kills Bhaal with one Frozen Orb"
Again I have a maxed Frozen Orb sorceress from pre 1.11 but I can't see how Frozen Orb can possibly deal that kind of insane damage, especially with the pathetic synergies and spell improvements. My own Frozen Orb was about 399 a shard, not nearly enough to kill something in act 5 Nightmare.
Boast 4: "The Concentrator does the most melee damage in the game"
I've started a MF find Concentrator, he's still low level but still unlike other builds I've tried this claim seems pretty far fetched too.
