Ladder only stuff in SP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo (More info?)

So, I found a Shadow Killer. This is probably the "best" unique I've
found to date - not best as in "I needed/wanted it" - don't have any
functional assy's yet - but if I'm not mistaken it's not exactly
low-level junk, is it?

Then noticed it was "Ladder only".

Hadn't realized ladder items can drop in SP, before. So, does other
ladder-only stuff work in SP? I know the new runewords don't, obviously.
What about cube recipes like upgrading to elite etc? I think I've tried
to do that once and it didn't work.

rgds,
netcat

Well, it looks nice on paper, but the general consensus I gathered is that
it's not that hot. Still, it's nice to see something golden from an elite
weapon class dropping.

The Ladder-Only Runewords don't work, though I thought I read a patch is
floating around which adds them to the Single Player game.

All Cube recipes work in SP, including upgrading to Elite and the
cubing-up of high-runes.

Yep. All of them can except Annihilus.

Yep, except for the new runewords(the 23 from this last update, AND the 4
that were added at the end of the last ladder season) and Uber
Diablo/Annihlus, everything on ladder can be done in single player.

It works fine...you may have tried with the wrong recipe.

Depends on the type of assassin you want to make.

Trapper: A magic (blue) +3 traps claw with a nice second mod (IAS f.i.)
and +skills to a few of the trap skills.

Martial Arts: Upgraded Bartucs? Nice 3 socket claw with +skills, and a
nice runeword in.

Regards,

Patrick.

Depends.

For meleer, Chaos runeword, upped Bartucs, or Nat's claw combined with the
rest of the set.
For claw using kicker/blade fury assassin, Fury or Chaos runewords, with a
pair of +3 shadow discipline claws on switch, ideally with +3 venom, +3
shadow master, and/or +3 Fade.
For trapper, magic claws with +3 traps, IAS, and some nice +skills like
light sentry, death sentry, shadow master, or whatever.

For 2 claw assassins, Jade Talon is a good secondary claw.

Quite possible. I nearly always play late at night, when I'm almost half
asleep.
Will try again.

OTOH, a Shadow Killer at hand is way better than a Bartucs that hasn't
dropped yet.
So in the event that one won't drop before I get around to making an
assassin, what type could use it best? I don't think I want do do a
trapper, sounds kind of boring.
