Tips For Every D2R Ladder 2.5 Terror Zones

A lot of the monsters are going to be fire immunes and they won’t be broken in the game. A much smaller percentage of all the areas have a completely unbreakable fire than just the wrong number itself.

Cold is the hardest to break immunity other than magic which just literally can not be broken. So the majority of areas that have cold immunes can not be broken. So anybody who is looking to farm a wide expense of the Terror Zones on a cold build would want to be a duel or a hybrid spec build. Either being something like a meteor frozen orb or an ice fire bowzon. So that you have access to another damage source.

Lightning immunity is the easiest to break immunity in the majority of cases. Most Monsters are only 100% resistance to lightning or only very slightly above 100% resistant. So the conviction orb from infinity breaks the vast lightning immunes. Only 20% of areas out of the total 87% that can be terrorized are going to have hard, unbreakable lightning immunities for any builds. So the lightning nova sorceress, the lightning fury javazon, or a lightning trapsin. Lightning actually has a very good showing here for builds that can be single elements and succeed in farming situations.

Poison is even easier to take in the majority of these places. Not only are there not many poison immunes in the game, only 5.7%, so 65% of the zones will have poison immunes. Poison is easier to break in most circumstances outside of lightning. You are really going to be running straight impossible to break poison monsters and above 5 to 6 zones. On top of that, most poison builds also have access to the second damage type. So in the case of the necromancer, you have access to fire and physical from corpse explosion. Fury beast druid can also run fury to do physical damage and plague javazon can also imply lightning fury or charge strike to be able to bring lightning damage to their build.

There are a ton of hard physical immunes in Diablo 2 Resurrected that are incredibly easy to break. Most physical damage dealing builds are going to run with Reaper's Toll on the mercenary or have access to fire damage on their base kit. So you are going to run a total of 3 zones when you have unbreakable physical immunes. And those in the cases stuff like moon lords especially in act 5.

Magic immunes are the least amount of magic immunes in Diablo 2 Resurrected. But there’s also no way of reducing magic resistances. You can not break these immunities, but they are the least represented immunity in the game.

Overall, this is a buff to any build that can be hybrid. So anybody that is able to carry both either a strong primary cold damage type and a secondary strong damage type or lightning physical or fire lightning. Or if you want to be a primary damage dealer a solo damage type, the strongest ones by far are going to be physical immunes, magic immunes, poison immunes, and lightning immunes where you are able to farm in the most areas possible and efficiently.

Diablo 2 Resurrected Patch 2.5 update gives you the incentive to do different areas, that's really neat. It's going to make the ladder climb much more interesting because people aren't going to be focused on farming one specific boss over and over.
