    I just reinstalled Diablo 2 after a loooooong hiatus, playing Torchlight made me want to play D2 more than anything. :D

    Is there an option to have item tags permanantely on, or do you have to hold alt to see them? It's about the only thing that bugs me about D2.

    I'm guessing there's no way to do it as I couldn't see an option, but hey worth an ask.

    I wish they'd port D2 to the DS along with 1,000 replacement screens with every purchase.

    It's certainly not required, but it definitely helps. 3 steps to making a game.

    1. pa
    2. if it's hardcore, add an "h" after
    3. "nr" for normal, "nm" for nightmare, "hl" for hell

    And of course, adding numbers at the end. For example, pahnr2 would be the second hardcore game made in normal. pahl3 for the third softcore game made in hell, etc.

    I will NOT reinstall this... I lost one of my two CD keys, and I don't have a desk for my desktop that D2 is currently installed on, and my new laptop... I don't have one of my missing keys, and i refuse to pay for another, and I think I lost the original key too, it's just still on my desktop after all these year...

    nope... not going to install. not at all.

    One of the physical skills is the standard route, they buffed immolation arrow a bit this patch though.

    If you don't want to go the standard route, I'm a big fan of of the hybrid build (that you've already done half of) maxing lightning fury and charged strike. LF is your crowd control, CS is your boss killer. The gear is cheap too, you can use any old javelins, and your resists should be fine since you're not using a shield anyways.

    Newbie question for when I get the Horadric Cube. Is it possible to upgrade Gems (and skulls) by transmuting them together? e.g. 3 Chipped Emeralds = 1 Flawed Emerald?

    Yes, that works all the way to Perfect (3 Flawless = 1 Perfect). Only the mid to high runes have additional ingredients.

    Good news for my stash.

    Next: If I transmute two Amulets, one with +3 Energy and one with +17% Poison Resist, will I wind up with an Amulet with both? One with something completely different? Can it even be done?

    Item transmutation recipes always gives you a new reroll with random stats. The only thing that matters is the item level(s) of the original items. You'll have to check the arreat summit or the diablo wiki for the exact formulas.

    If you want an amulet with certain stats, you'll have to either trade for one, gamble a lot of gold on amulets, or item find for a long time until you get what you want.

    It's 3 magic amulets = 1 random magic ring, 3 magic rings = 1 random magic amulet, and the result will be something completely different.

    List of recipes

    If you're looking for something more specific, you can try your hand at crafting, which always has a set range of values (leech, FCR, +resists, etc).

    I used the respec thinger to change over to Holy Shock. It got the job done, but I was still brutalized by Duriel and was putting little tiny dents into him. Barely an improvement over Holy Freeze's performance.

    Now I'm in act 3 with the goddamn fetishes running around willy-nilly, not being slowed down.

    Duriel on normal difficulty is usually the most difficult, since you don't have any efficient damage skills and your equipment is generally poor. NM is usually easier since you have better equipment and a few maxed skills. Depending on your equipment, hell may be even easier, or it could be ridiculously difficult
