So based on thread discussion I guess there are some trap builds, aka builds that don't really work? Summoner Necros for instance. Are there any others like that? Alternatively, are there any good builds not discussed so far? For instance I had some success with a life leech werewolf druid back in the day. edit: I have vague memories of using build guides off of the actual Eastern Sun wiki. Those still good for the most part? SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Nov 19, 2016 |

I guess trap build was the wrong terminology. I'm just saying if I made a necromancer for the purpose of being a summoner build and later found out that the summons weren't that great, I would be disappointed. Was just wondering if there was anything else like that, but if I could make my werewolf work maybe I'm just overthinking it. This talk about meleemancers has got me itchin' for a witchin'

Man something about the core gameplay of Diablo 2 is so much fun. I think it has to do with the base movespeed of every character being so high along with the gorgeous 2D graphics that haven't seemed to age at all. And nostalgia obviously. I tried playing Path of Exile after this and I felt like I was running through molasses. I was planning on doing a softcore character but it just feels wrong to play softcore Diablo 2. The game is just a tad too simple for that, but somehow just simple enough to make Hardcore not be some unattainable goal like it would be in Diablo 3. I love this game. If you see someone on the Hardcore ladder with a generic fantasy name, that's probably me, I'm going to be trying out a few different classes this time.

You do know about the autostocker right? It puts all your gems and rings and multisocker items all in the right places. Just type .as start into chat and let it roll. Just be careful if you have rings or amulets in your inventory because those will get sucked into the re-roller. I stand pleasantly corrected.

RIP level 9 necromancer. I was leveling him mainly because I found the level 16 set for necromancers. I probably should have waited to give him the items until after I reached 16

So I notice that Badtown is still on the Expansion Hardcore ladder even though he's dead. So what the heck happened to GBIRL, the dude who helped me through Act 4? He's just not on the list anymore. And goddamn Baddertown is already level 75 and some new guy Dogfucker came out of nowhere and is 54.

Very interesting! There's a lot of nuance to this. I've gone over the recipe list a few times and I feel like I'm still missing some stuff. I made one attempt to make a Druid ring, and while it did have +1 to druid skills on it, it also had +1 to necromancer skills and +2 to necro summons so I kinda just gave up on that.

Level 50 NM Lost Farm sounds ridiculous. I went to normal Lost Farm in my early 40s and I was still nervous.

I seem to recall from the last time that you gain half the magic find and gold find of your hirelings in this, but I can't seem to find any documentation saying so. What's the truth here? edit: Also while I'm thinking about it, would it be possible to make uniques in normal difficulty not complete and total crap? I'm pretty sure all of them are just awful compared to the set bonuses. SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Nov 28, 2016 |

Bakalakadaka posted:It's probably not worth rebalancing stuff for normal given that you can clear it pretty easily with a level 1 set and nothing else. Source: me starting dudes at level 1 with a full game and clearing normal Well yeah that's kind of my point! Even as I start going into nightmare, every unique I pick up has just been plain terrible compared to the sets. It'd just be nice to have any reason at all to use some of these items I keep getting. Right now its sets or nothing, until they (presumably) get better near the endgame. Speaking as a hardcore player, who could conceivably spend more time in the beginning than the average player.

pixaal posted:Especially with forging. It takes until A4NM when you bash Meph's soulstone but after that you should have enough P.gems to get a full set of forged jewels. It turns into whatever has the most sockets and a good beat stick, that you jam more stuff into. End of Normal you should be able to forge a few jewels from saved up gem points. Good points!

Target Practice posted:Any reason why an install would be working just fine last night, but today when I press tab it instantly crashes with the same crash you get when you quit the game? This happened across multiple characters, with and without the updated MPQ. This happened to me, restart your computer and you'll be dandy. Don't ask me why. Removing your entire plugin folder will also fix it, so I assume its something to do with the maphack

It's not going to feel THAT different from vanilla Diablo 2, but there's so many little things that I can guarantee you that I won't be revisiting vanilla Diablo 2 ever again, or Diablo 3 for that matter. Basic rules still apply, find yourself a good left click skill and good right click skill and try to balance your mana and life leech to the point that neither of them goes down during the course of normal combat. The Eastern Sun itemization stuff doesn't come into play until mid to late nightmare when you have access to more stuff. Step one would probably be to make some class jewelry. Check under the NewCraft section on the big recipe list, but keep in mind whatever you make will probably require your level to be in the mid 40s. Your main goal should be to get to Anya in act 5 and then you can gamble anything in normal. You'll also have access to areas that drop fake notes which are worth over 100k gold a piece and they are not difficult to get SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Dec 4, 2016 |
