Highest Possible Life in D2
 

Edit:

This is updated. Don't look at the quoted post below me, as the stats are horribly wrong.

+20str gfather
+20str gfather
+20str anni
+18str Jewels
+15str Wolfhowl
+40str (rare rings)
+30str (rare ammy)

That gives... 163 str... Grandfather 161 with -req, so we're good.

If someone will tell me how Dex factors into AR, I'll build up the highest AR possible as well.

OMG, THATS FREAKY, graz!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot about 1.08 items... Then I also forgot about the str req for Grandfather. I fixed it though.

how long did that take you to do?

A long fucking time... Like 20 minutes to start. Then, I realized I had forgotten about 1.08 items. I had to search for their stats. Then, I realized I had forgotten about the str req on grandfather. I had to swap out vitality items for str items.

my God, you have rock hard patience lol

Who the hell says 'rock hard' patience?

Or am I just gay for noticing that?

I don't understand why you did 2 cta weapons and a shield ?

and why not 2* +6 bo >.<

+6 will only effect in+3, thats max barb can get at once...
i heard that somewhere...

now that u say it, i heard something of max +skills for classes too, like the +lycantrophy etc on druids being reduced.... well n/m

Gah. I didn't think of that. Anyhow, +skills (like fireball or lycan or BO) gives a max of 3 if the character can naturally have that skill.

Done.

Let me know if anyone sees any more errors. Also, if you see anything that you can swap to still give 161 str but more vitality or health, pipe up.

You can even check my simple math. If you do, though, make sure you do it several times. I had to add that shit up like 6 times for some reason... It's like 5 lines long on my calculator.
