D2R Top 14 Worst Bases In The Game Not RankedNov 26 2025
kyleelliott8364: I hate how orbs aren’t usable for staff runewords even though they are staff class
plastichairball: Sometimes knowing what NOT to do is as useful as what is best to do. Thanks for this!
SpinelessVermin: I had an 305ed/3ar/6/6/4 Eth military pick cta on legacy like 12 years ago, paid an importer to roll it for me back in 2013, he rolled it perfect in like 11 minutes lol. That's the only use for that entire pick line.
DensApri: The cutlass has one good use: it is the fastest exceptional 1-handed weapon making it an excellent base for the strength rune word in the mid levels
CreationsVibration: I use military pick for CTA's
greggougeon4422: I choose the war spike because it's the coolest looking. All fear my grief war spike
Matthew-FG6: Necro shields having a 2 socket max is ridiculous. You can do so much with pally shields (no matter the tier), but necro gets shafted.
Also, Ive burned larzuk quests on Shakos and GSkulls thinking i would get 3os. Smh
philipperichard3207: I dont really agree with the heater shield, it is a great base for splendor if you dont want your sorc to have 156 str to wield a spirit (or have not found one yet). It is also good mf swap (splendor) if you dont have ist runes to invest in one. It is clearly not a extraordinary base, but I dont think it deserve its place here.
Thank you ginger for your video, every diablo 2 video is a great video.
alex__zander: Military Pick is actually the preferred base for CTA for a lot of players because the pick is never used as a weapon so if you forget to switch back to your normal weapon after WC buffing the pick's model sticks out.
rollinmetzger7392: The Mithril point has high durability because it’s made of mithril.
unrealizee: Nothing wrong with orbs and throwing weapons? I think its crazy bad that they dont have runewords respektive sockets. That should be addressed in future patches, so much potential for new playstyles and nice base findings. Its almost no development cost, but nice content for future seasons. Like if you thinking the same.
nnovotny7201: Hazzah for the Herkimer Battle Jittney reference!
sandordugalin8951: The most interesting thing about this video is that the bases you mentioned... drop CONSTANTLY. Like the game seems OVERWHELMINGLY skewed towards dropping crap bases, (regardlessly of their item level or quality level or whatever)
KavidDrebs1986: Beast pickaxe on Necro looks cool, too
sefilmamoaga: The daggers get u strength and u dexterity damage bonus. Total offweapon ed bonus is 1.5x of other weapons to compansate the low average damage.
beezsixty-nine: Awesome content as usual but I I have to argue with the shadow plate for pvm, it's visual is the best for a barbarian in which we put strength in anyway and suffer no frw penalty, but on all other characters it sux lol (in my opinion)
Ragsontherun: Damn I power up the game and the video and the first thing that drops is a war spike
davidk1888hq: I only used war spike for a crescent moon for my light sorc, so I don't mix it up with my 6 Isted magic find dimensional blade (when I am not running HoTO). For that, it is useful. But I have a crescent moon in a dimensional blade as well for when I am running HoTO, because I hate the look of that pick
istvangyorki6314: Military pick is actually good for a crescent moon, where you just need the attack speed.
ogrrr: You missed one positive on the war spike. It looks brutal. I got a summoner necro with an eth Beast war spike. Never going to hit anyone with it, but it looks cool. Also got a grief war spike on my smiter.
But... If you're not playing for cool, it's not a good weapon. So I guess you're right.
dira5787: Can a cracked, crude, damaged, low quality base item be used for a runeword? Im curious if a Claw with good skills for a mosaic drops but its this low quality base item wonder if i could just larzuk it as normal and insert the runes.
thomashvidhansen6608: If you look at average damage you kinda have to also look at weapon speed... Feral Axe is the fastest elite axe base. So maybe a Kingslayer in it for your feral druid? Or Oath in an Eth Feral axe?
ByGeorge846: Guess I won't be making BotD in that Cudgel after all :(
evad997: Hi Ginger, any recommendations for non-amazon Bows & Crossbows?
Morgormir: I disagree with the military pick. It’s such a cool CTA base as I like my flail for HOTO and PB for Grief.
NoName-md6fd: To be fair, War fist is probably the best 2 socket base for the Wind runeword because assassin has claw mastery and BoS, but who would do that ?
