Can Honorific item be used as base for runewords? Otherwise, do hono have any utility in mid-late game?

No they can't be used for runewords. Runewords must have a white title. Or grey - but you wouldn't do that, you'd upgrade it to Superior using cube recipes.


It seems honorifics are useful as late as you need them - I'm nooby at this but from reading a few guides, it seems once shrines start dropping in early Terror (Act 2 ish?) you should start being able to craft better gear. Having the stats to wear it is another thing though - needs a few charms?

Yeah but shrines cannot be used on honorific :/ So I really don't get the point of usingthose. It seems like you can only use orbs on them

I'm playing a throw barb and javazon in this patch farming TA/Fauts in dest, but I really enjoy bashing stuff in the face as melee.

I have all easy/medium difficulty charms.. and I play SP with plugy so it's easy to share with my other chars

whats the best melee build for 2017, preferably dual wield one? I can do weap/shield but not 2h. Not my style

What is the chance for Bull Prince Rodeo to drop a UMO? It used to be 10%, old docs say 2%. So far, I killed him about 45 times and got 3..

How do you get barbarian shield runeword 4x poison? (Triune's Blessing)
There is other runeword for regular shields with 4 poison runes, Khalim's Protector.
When I put 4 poison runes into gilded shield I'm getting Khalim's Protector runeword, not triune's blessing.

So I googled, mentioned in bug thread in 2014 old forums, and this forums 1 year ago

* This runeword currently cannot be made due to a bug. Trying it will produce Khalim's Protector runeword.

Old docs say that, apparently it's still not fixed.

Old docs actually say 1/30 or 3.33...%. Sounds about right to me, although we'd need a lot of runs to confirm of course.

That is the point of honorifics... They're generally used as cheap substitutes in case you lose gear somehow, but a lot of builds can utilize them as main pieces.

Couldn't make the launcher work, but I launched with D2se...

Are higher resolution options not implemented? Will they come only with Sigma? Or am I doing something wrong? I only get the standard 800/600...
