The Best Crowd Control Skill in Diablo 2 - Amazon Skill Guide
Last of the Skill Guide series - we have one of the most well known, and frequently used skill in the game: The Amazon's Lightning Fury - and of course its little brother Lightning Bolt.
The Paladin is often known as the king of auras, but the Druid, as the jack of all trades, can bring some competitive aura options to the table as well with Oak Sage, Heart of the Wolverine, and Spirit of Barbs - though the question becomes - are these squishy aura sources worth it, or is resummoning them more trouble than it's worth?

I love mechs, and I'm oddly hooked on bullet hells lately - and that this one involves some lessons learned from autobattlers for leveling up, made it especially intriguing to me. With the additions coming with early access, this is definitely a game that's high on my list for a full review in the niche.
You can find the prelude (free) as well as the full early access version of the title on steam @ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2281480/Battle_Grid/

While a lot of press outlets call this a Zelda-like, I frankly would compare it more to games like Hob - puzzles with some combat, not the other way around. Overall, the first few hours have been a ton of fun to play, and I am looking forward to finishing it on stream.

(would have been a review, but sadly didn't get a press key until 24-hours before, which is usually a disqualifier for release day coverage for me - but this was enjoyable enough to make an exception - time allowing, I'll do a post-game follow-up if you're still on the fence, just give it a few days)

Duriel is the second boss in Diablo 2, and the biggest threat to new players. With Holy Freeze, a decent damage attack, charge, and a small arena - he is one of the more dangerous bosses in Diablo 2 for the unprepared.

There's often a lot of questions about what the best equipment for a given build is, and while there are some specialist items that work best for some niche builds, the vast majority of builds can find their "best in slot" items from a very short list - so today we're looking at the Best Gloves in Diablo 2 Resurrected - both for Caster and Martial builds, as well as some secret key budget options that people often ignore.

Diablo 2 Versus is a series where we compare builds and equipment. Have a pairing you want to see? Mention it in the comments, along with the archetype you're wanting to see it on.
Note, since it's a common misunderstanding:
These are comparisons of 'reasonably similarly equipped' characters. (Only "Near Best In Slot" not "Pinnacle" for reasons explained below)
In the case of "Build with X weapon" vs "Build with Y Weapon" they are identically equipped. With equipment geared towards demonstrating the weapon in question - so we limit things such as Crushing Blow/Critical Strike/etc. from off-weapon sources to below 25%, as this can cause some weapons to appear weaker/stronger than they are. (there will be build videos that cover more detailed "equipment combination options" for that type of need). This is kept this way for Class A vs Class B so you can translate comparisons across the shorts (ie - "Bone Spirit Necro vs Grief Zealot" will let you see how that necro compares to the Lawbringer Zealot as well, even if you just watch the Necro v Zealot video and Lawbringer v Grief Zealot video)

Vulture demons are a weird enemy in diablo 2 - since there are versions that belong to each of the enemy classifications - undead, demon, and beast. They also have a fairly unique movement pattern, being an enemy that removes itself from the battlefield temporarily.

To pair up with the bone attack skills on the necromancer, you should usually use the bone control skills - bone wall and bone prison. They're powerful tools for manipulating enemy movement with bait, confining them to tight spaces, and setting them up for kills.
