Topic: Worst Cow King Loot!

Yes, I killed the cow king. And all those people who complained about getting a "buckler of strength" or some such thing lose. Because I didn't even get anything to identify. I got a balanced axe, and the usual pile of stamina potions.

On the same character that got Diablo to drop a single magical, crappy spetum.

There you go... worst possible boss loot.

"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.' And nobody really ever believes." - Roger 'Verbal' Kint, The Usual Suspects

Yep.. I'm gettin the short end of the stick with this random loot thing. Just killed Mephisto on Hell, the gold he dropped could of paid for the items, if I bought them.

I killed Baal on Hell for the first time with my Paladin, and I got a steel scimitar, a Rugged Buckler (+2 to Stamina or something) and 2500 gold...

My chance to get magical items was 97%... (I can get it to 130% or so if I put on all my Item stuff, but I was trying hard to beat Baal, )

Dad's going to kill you. Really. He is.

I tend to have decent luck... Finding Uniques, anyway. y Barbaian has found oh-so many Uniques, and is only in Act 2, Nightmare... I mean, come on, he's gotten three sets of Chance Gaurds. But he tends to get bad uniques. Things like Felloak, or The Dragon Chang. I've yet to come across enchanted items that were that useful with him.

Instructions on pharming in Diablo II:

Install Diablo II v1.00
Finish the game once.
Get Wirt's leg.
Combine it with a tome of town portal in the Horadric cube.
Kill the cow king.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I've never gotten anything useful out of the cow level, ever.

Been there.. 7 times I think, twice as my Barb, twice as a Sorc, three times as a Necro.

Sets suck. Go with uniques only.

There's always one really crappy item in a set, that you have to use to get the full bonus, but just really blows. Like the maul in the Barbarian's set. Cant remember its name, Something King.

Exactly. If you can get full Unique armor, you'll most likely have two or three with skill raises to all.

Not ALL sets

Ever seen the unique/exceptional sets?

Oh my GOD... the set bonuses on some are +3 to all skills, and the items themselves add +1 or 2 to all skills

a 97% boost isn't gonna help a 0.001% chance of a magic item dropping much

I beat Andariel on Normal as a Barbarian.

It was a fast battle, and a lot of crazy sh** happened. Basically, merc died, weapons almost broke, down to 12HP, no mana, and poisoned. It only took a few seconds.

What was my reward? A single arrow.

*Quickly hides her Frostburn Gauntlets.*

Cow King? Nope, never got nothin from no Cow King. Nope, no guantlets that give a 40% boost to total mana, not this Sorceress. A-nope!

*Runs away by chain teleporting across Act 1.*

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.
