Best way would be lottery, but the 5% chance is, well, not large. Hwanin is purely a farming weapon (you can easily craft a better one for bosses) so ITD is pretty nice on it.

This is a really good guide. I just started playing Diablo 2 a few weeks ago and I am having a lot of fun with this crossbow necromancer. I have a small question though: Which shrine should we use to bless our sacred armor pieces?

You can get a lot with some items.
Is it good with Widowmaker for its high number of bolts ?

For armor pieces the answer is always Creepy, as all you care from them is more strength. You could make the point that Abandoned helps with Dex (and thus AR) but imo it's better to get the AR other ways.

I'm kinda afraid of suggesting mechanics that I'm not 100% sure about how they work. TTAD should just be a flat damage increase so technically it's good. However, there might be some D2 magic behind it that makes it better/worse than what one would imagine.

Idol of Rygnar we're already using anyway (or can use, it's one of the endgame helm options and it's what I personally use).

Famine is the 3rd skill in Melee tree (Carnage -> Parasite -> Famine)

Pretty much Dunc. Just remember that since we don't have div cards im MXL, targetfarming a specific unique is impossible. You most likely won't find what you want

Okay thx mate. I just don't feel like using TG to trade for an item. It's not the same feeling like you would have back then in vanilla and trade ingame.

I feel you. Just rememeber that usually the approach is "Make a decent low-gear farmer build -> find few items worth building around -> make a build for them"

Tho Hwanin is just an SU, so it's not massively rare but still it's a class-specific base
