You could try HTTrack Website Copier (it's free and overall pretty good), but with the way the doc is set up I doubt you could get it easily working as an off-line variant.

It‘s more stable than the launcher, mainly because it wasn‘t changed for at least 6 years, while the launcher is still basically wip and many bugs are added each time Microsoft releases a new update for windows 10. but installing and getting d2se to work is supposedly harder to do (don‘t know since d2se doesn‘t work on my win 10 pc anymore. I have to use the launcher)


Ah, I see your mistake. Using Windows 10. Is cancer.

If you guys use Discord, try asking in the trade channel of the MXL Discord Server. You'll probably get a faster/better response.

How important or useful is the affix: adds xx-xx damage? I am certain I don't understand it because it doesn't seem that good to me.

46-49 base damage on blade talons
Eth XisJudge with ~200 ed = 207-220 damage

thai jewelcraft = 4 min damage + 3 from affix = 7 min damage per jewel

If you use 20x jewels like that you're doubling your physical damage and thus lifesteal (which you'd get from gear instead of jewels), and so on. The less base damage you have the more value it gets.

That makes sense. Thanks for the quick replies. I found the Crystal of Tears UMO (adds 7-12 damage and -2% max life), and I guess now I'm curious if that is worth putting into an armor piece for the 10 levels it requires. Based off what you said, I think it may be. (I am playing an Iron Spiral barb)
