Project Diablo II | Season 9: Solo Self Found (SSF) Paladin journey, Part 2

This video takes you from early CS farming into some map content. Video ends at roughly ~20 hours played on the character.
The Paladin feels really good. FoH is pretty broken. CS farming is very efficient and likely better than maps? Not really sure. Give your thoughts in a comment, if you have any.
Maps are more fun, though. And more engaging while streaming instead of just blasting CS. Hard to say, really. The gear isn't quite there for smooth maps but they're taking ~20 mins at the moment.

big fan of the bcomb through line. again, great pacing through the video. keep em up!

[@schmidtwerd9540]

Thanks! The capture last X seconds approach is much better than GIFs for actually seeing the loot drop which makes for a much better video, IMO.

ALL I DO IS BRICKKKKKK :)

[@anytown3821]

The blind slam on Mangsong did it for me too. 😜. Ah!

[@schmidtwerd9540]

Hell of an item!! Not sure I will be able to utilize in the SSF but maybe as a pre-buff stick or something down the line. Useless for Pally, kek.

[@royalewithcheese6560]

0:33 not as wild as the first ammy drop but seriously your ID'n those like I do cathans rings😂

[@schmidtwerd9540]

Lol yeah, that first ammy drop was bonkers. I will tell that story every ladder reset from here on out. The reset team will get sick of it xD

[@earlyplays8810]

I just don't get the SSF draw of any type of game like this. The most exciting part of the game is finding sick stuff, whats with the "helllll yeah" when you get drops that are 100% worthless to you AND unsellable.

You don't play just 1 character.

[@schmidtwerd9540]

I'd argue the best part of ARPGs is finding the cool loot and trading is probably my least favorite aspect.
Finding an uber rare item like Mang Song at any point is pretty neat to see. Regardless of useability, IMO.
But that's what makes games so great, or anything really, it can be different to different people.

[@earlyplays8810]

@@alain4037 Wait is that how it works? SSF so if you find a good staff you can make a SSF sorc then use it? That would actually be right up my alley. But the whole WOW guys a Tal's Ammy! when you get absolutely nothing from it baffles me. The whole game is based around making your guy stronger so he can tackle harder content and progress. If there is 0 benefit and progression I don't see any reason to celebrate.

[@schmidtwerd9540]

I mean, just finding a Tal's ammy in Normal is pretty rare. I've never seen that before. Only heard stories. So that moment is more like checking something off a bucket list situation. But yeah, finding sweet items you will never use on SSF is somewhat frustrating. But that's what you get when you sign up for doing SSF. I don't really sweat that kind of stuff. Just try to have fun!
