The links posted in that thread are from the original ladder release patch, 1.1 over 20 years ago.
Do you have anything more recent stating this is still the case?

Haha just fight in doorways and next to rocks/trees.
Without whirlwind, barbs are not very good at fighting while surrounded

hey Ozy! turned back and picked it at 0:42
I have one rule, everything over ko in runes, or uniques rings/ammies/facets I pick up (If I donāt miss em visually). If Rnjesus drops a godly (v rare) unique Iāll pick that as well, otherwise I think I saw about 10 gheeds and a few unique monarchs these days, besides the usual trash

I had a Ber and pul rune drop at the same time, had to stop. There is also a ladder version going on but isnāt restricted to barbs as a class only.
Type in google:
āGold Find Christmas Cupā
The winner price is 4x Ber as of now.

Cool contest on jsp, wished I play ladder just for the contest. best of luck CM, hope you win!
This one is not restricted to barbs either, itās just that the barb is most efficient, clearly.

Yeah, this is pretty free-form. Any class, build etc.
More about experimenting and having fun.
If weāre honest, the first prize is only just a bit better than the random weekly one.

Looks like BZ barb is the thing for fastest hunting. Iāll make one as well after I get some more runs for WC guy to get some data to calculate averages.

Given that most mechanics have remained the same and most of the ones that were changed were documented or later fixed, thereās no reason to suspect this has changed. The maxroll D2 planner also shows monsters with the life penalty as well.

Thanks everyone for participating so far! We have got some pretty useful information, and, like any good mystery, there are still a lot of unanswered questions. Visio head gear, teleporting back to waypoint for Act 4, war cry Berserk hybrid, early Horking?
For Week 1, we have 2 eligible participants. ALDO and hAkA.
From a random draw, ALDO was the winner! Just let me know next time youāre online and come pick up this Ber!
Special thanks to Dhrolie for sponsoring this one. Btw, good luck in the next round in the world cup.
