My sin

[:1]http://www.diablofans.com/page/tools/skill/d2-Assassin.html#10k011010kk1111110kk0000000000l0l4l0l0l0lal00
I was wondering if this could be a viable skill set to do most of the game content.
The idea is that shadow master is always with you and venom adds to the elemental dmg also possibly freeing up sockets to do other elemental dmg.
Of course the idea is to dual wield claws with lightning in one hand and cold in the other.

Diablo 1 Speedun in 3min 9 sec!real or cheat?

[:1]Hello, i saw this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd4xOI6lBJw
after 3min and 9 sec he was finish with the game
Got he only lucky? or is there a cheat?|||With the right spawn-code those maps and drops can be generated as shown. Overall it looks like an amazing speedrun but the player cheated at least twice starting at 1:57.
In Caves the unique staff Naj's Puzzler was dropped. In D1 spell charges on unique staffs can be used without identifying the item so using the Puzzler's charges was fine. BUT back in town the Puzzler was duped twice after it got IDed by Cain. Those dupes were then sold to Adria for the fonds needed to buy the big mana pots, the scrolls of Identify, Mana Shield, Stone Curse and the Book of Fireball. Duping and shoping speed indicate that at least some scripts or another cheat were used.

There are cheats for the game, but there are some people that can run through it very quickly with a lot of experience.

Dupes are cheats. No experience required.|||look in the diablo 3 forum.. there are no cheats|||

Well if dupes aren't cheats your initial question "or is there a cheat" is pointless.
EDIT
Check http://speeddemosarchive.com/Diablo.html and you know what he did and how.|||

Q u o t e:

I was referring to item editing programs. I even had some.
~Hazzar|||Guys why you write here so much ##%*?
That is Groobo and he would never use cheats.
This video is played by patch 1.0.0 and there is no cheat.
he only used some bugs.

and here you have a statement form the player:
Yeah, it's me again. Once more I'm here to cut down the time almost in half and it's due to even more luck manipulation, even more glitches, and even more sexiness. The most important thing is that I manipulated Naj's Puzzler to drop from the earliest monster possible. This item gives you some teleport charges and it's requirement-free. Second thing is the negative health glitch (note that this was fixed with the 1.07 patch). If your health turns negative when you're protected by the mana shield spell (which can be done with equipping a -life item) you won't die, you'll become invincible instead. There are pretty much two down sides to this: you won't be getting any exp points for any monsters killed because you're technically dead, and if you forget to make your health positive again before either entering a portal or using the stairs you'll end up dead (because going to another level removes your mana shield and then the game actually pays attention to your health). Then there's the duplication glitch which was already featured in my previous work. You can copy any item at the cost of any potion or scroll. What you need to do is to drop the item you want to "dupe" on the ground and walk away from it, then you click on the item and when you're just about to pick it up you click on any item on your belt. You'll end up with the item you just picked up in your inventory and you'll be holding an exact same copy of that item at the same time. One more thing that will probably confuse you (or not at all since it was also in the previous run) is what happens when I meet Lazarus. Normally a cutscene should take place following a lengthy speech. Well, the first one is skipped by alt-tabbing to windows (when alt-tabbing back to the game you can't see ##%* and you can't really tell when you can already move the cursor so better appreciate that the delay wasn't that big), the latter is skipped by simply saving and loading the game. Last thing to note is that I did extensive research on every aspect of the game important in a speedrun (with the help of a couple of guides), the RNG and how to manipulate it, how the game calculates damage done, what monster drops what and appears where, and so on. So keep that in mind and remember that I really busted my balls to get this done, so you better #@@%ing enjoy it.

So you should cheer for this video.|||

I don't care who he is. Duping is cheating, no matter what means are used to do it.
Edit
A comment on Groobo's statement:

Q u o t e:
The most important thing is that I manipulated Naj's Puzzler to drop from the earliest monster possible.

A drop manipulation in D1 Single Player boils down to a map manipulation because all drops on a map are pre-defined on generation. The only legal map manipulation is to start a new single player game and this resets both all dungeon maps and your character is send back to town.
How rare is the possibility to have a dungeon with all stairs from 1 to 15 beside each other and the first monster encountered - a Lava Lord - is capable of droping Naj's Puzzler plus does so? Add in the other item drops - Thinking Cap from Lazarus and Raven/Vulture ring from church sarcophagus - and the possibility for all this to happen in a single game closes in to infinite.
|||Nevertheless let's push aside the question if cheats were used or not.
There is a sign this video is a fake.
At 0:54 Groobo picks up a ring from a sarcophagus on Church lvl 4. This ring is used later on to pull off the god mode glitch.
At 1:21 we see the inventory for the 1st time in Caves lvl 9. There the initial staff is dumped to equip the unided Naj's Puzzler. Check the inventory: there is no ring!
At 1:44 back in town Groobo opens the inventory the 2nd time and drops a ring to the ground.
Explain how this ring made it into the inventory past 1:21. Can you?
EDIT
Found another tiny sign that something is not right with this run.
At 1:22 we can catch a glimpse on the unided Puzzler's stats. The third line reads Charges: 23 / 57. This is correct and Jarulf's Guide confirms this: Naj's Puzzler always drops with 23 of 57 charges of Teleport.
Now Groobo uses 6 charges to get from floor 9 to 15. Next he uses 2 charges to reach the vile stand, raises his tp and grabs Lazarus staff while he walks into the portal. In town at 1:51 Groobo hovers the mouse over the spell button which reads 14 charges on the last line. BUT when we recalculate things there should be 23 - 8 = 15 charges left on the Puzzler.
Where did Groobo use that 9th charge of Teleport?|||Excellent investigative report, Dr.

Haha, so true. I was actually answering questions a while ago, but now I just do it for fun, lmao. At least we are discussing ;)
~Hazzar|||Indeed. What's the world coming to when even hell is going to hell?
|||That is Groobo! there is no cheat or something!
he play just like a god!|||So... exploits and bugs isn't cheating...
I can also make a Brood War speed run using 'there is no cow level'

On bot marketers

[:1]What sort of measures are underway to handle them? Only reasonable thing I can think of is an auto-squelch option for players in NM+. Even then they can level up to surpass the squelch. I'm sure I am way late to the race but I haven't played in around a year. Anyone got a link to the progress in battling them, assuming there is some?|||There is none, it's an old game and much like War3/SC1 is mostly going unsupported. It's been this way for the past few years so I wouldn't expect some huge change on things, especially with D3 around the corner.

Of course you need to have the expansion installed. D2 without the expansion is limited to 640x480.

Hardcore PK BUGGER

Back when every kid shopped themselves an auradin to look cool in pub duels, I used to take them down with a daggerzon. And they would get all pissy when they couldn't kill me. And it was awesome.

Admin help needed account stolen

[:1]Basicly i was sent here and told to talk to an admin about getting their help recovering my stolen account.
I was playing d2 us east on my StormBringer account, suddenly i get a server down, i think ok um i will try in a few minutes.... I come back to log into my account and supposedly my password no longer works. I go to do a password recovery.. I get no email.. I register all of my accounts so basicly i want to know why my account suddenly disapears when i finally get it uber godly and full of items that are super godly.. Its not because of viruses.. its not because of sharing my personal info.. On top of that i have had old keys suddenly start having someone else logged onto them.. ... Worst of all i went to and bought a new chest for d2 at walmart and someone else has it registered in their name... Its hard to not question whats going on.. someone has obviously managed to hack blizzards keys be they new or old.. but right now i simply want an admin to help me get my account back.. If need be since i now know to come here i can post images of every character i own as proof that I own and created the StormBringer account not someone else and i want ALL of my items i busted my rear to earn back with it as well as my runes.. I didnt give my account away or share my info nor do i have 3rd party programs on my pc.. This is on Blizzard not me|||You said you did account recovery and didn't receive an e-mail, did you check your spam mail?
As to your last sentence, account security is NEVER on Blizzard, it is 100% on your end and they give advice and tips on how to prevent occurrences such as this. If you purchased a key at Walmart and it says it's already being used, then it's likely someone stole the code from inside the box while in the store, I would suggest getting a refund. I would also highly recommend doing an anti-virus check, along with malware and spyware scans.
Regardless, whoever told you to post here was wrong, admins do not view this forum, you'll want to submit a support ticket through your account at http://www.battle.net
|||I find it odd and more than a bit annoying that i am directed by BLIZZARD staff here then get rebuffed for doing as told.. So it would be nice to know where to actually go. As to security for server info and accounts being hacked, forced or whatever i know that this happens all of the time. People that dont go to sites and just play d2 get hacked daily and none of us share our info I dont see how ANYONE has the audacity to put the blame on a player and say a company isnt or shouldnt be held responsible for the security of a game the SELL daily. just sayin yanno? Then theres the mysterious we wont replace lost items if your account is hacked and you miraculously do get the account back...
I have played d2 for years since diablo came out then d2 then LOD please dont insult my intelligence with saying d2 cant be hacked nor say its my fault my account got stolen..
Also, if you are indead a Mod/Admin here state that you are in the beginning of your comment and learn to be a LOT more polite..
As to Proof of being sent heres my Ticket # from Battle.net so please dont imply i dint follow the instructions i was given by staff from blizzard
Ticket US18818802
Below are 2 of the emails from a staff member
Ahoy William,

Account and technical Support.|||Well first off you posted in the wrong forum then, this is the gameplay forum and he linked the general discussion forum. But even there it's doubtful a blue would respond to your post. Pretty sure you'll want the Tech Support forums.
Secondly, no I'm not an admin, just telling you straight up how it is.

Q u o t e:

Yes accounts can be hacked, but that's due to the fault of the account owner. If the Blizzard servers themselves were hacked, Blizz would have to legally report this to their gamers (like Sony did). And no, it hasn't been hacked.
Yeah, you'll probably spout out some conspiracy/tinfoilhat nonsense now. Enjoy!
|||Dude. You got scammed. You copy/paste 2 e-mails from a "staff member" of blizzard that are obviously fake.
That guy stole your account.
Blizzard would never point to this forum. Only to technical support maybe. But it doesnt look right.
Did the staff member ask for your password?
