Yeah, like the ghosts that can go invisible and attack with lightning bolts that do physical damage.

Anyone play a fireclaw druid since the 2.4 changes? I tried a shockbear but it's just not enough damage.

Well, I probably just had my single luckiest run in my 20+ year history of playing this game. Ber from a chest in Durance and Sur from cows right after. Now I just gotta do that one more time and Enigma will be mine! EZ

Was totally not prepared for uber diablo this morning. Fortunately I was able to think fast and bought some junk Prevent Monster Heal sword off Charsi. Only a quick 35 minutes later, a 17/19 anni is mine!

I am still going strong. I've gotten to endgame with every class but assassin now, really just because the trap play style isn't well suited for controllers. Still don't have an anni, though. When the first ladder started, a bunch of clones were popping in non-ladder, but I didn't have a character that could kill him at the time. Hopefully when the second ladder starts it'll be the same and I can get one. I cannot wait until PoE 2 drops so I can play the inevitable ripoff of a lightning fury javazon, that poo poo is fun.

I leveled trapsin well enough through Hell but past a certain point you're just kind of gimping yourself if you can't precisely stack lightning sentries.

I missed the hype train because I was stuck on an old computer, but now I have a new one and I am enjoying this game all over again. This is probably the best remaster of any game I have ever seen. Even the new graphical assets they added in don't look out of place. The extra ambient noises aren't great though and some other audio cues don't sound right, kinda taking the edge off what could've been an otherwise perfect remaster.

Prevent Monster Heal doesn't work on Ubers, in order to stop their regen you need a source of Poison Damage, Open Wounds, or a ground fire effect that deals damage every frame.

PMH does work on Uber Diablo though (the one that drops anni) not to be confused with pandemonium diablo who spawns in Uber Tristram (it doesn't work on him as stated). And no, I have no idea why they're named do confusingly.

Uber Diablo, the one that drops Annihilus, came first, as a way to burn through stacks of duped SOJs Pandemonium Diablo / Uber Tristram, came after, as a way to give decked-out players some kind of endgame content to aim for they just never went back and "cleaned up" the naming

Probably best to make a dedicated character to kill Ubers, like a smiter or a fury drood or something Definitely want some dracul's gloves for the lifetap, some gore riders for CB and OW, and stack as much CB elsewhere as you can Drink antidote pots before fighting Uber andariel, stack some max lightning res or lightning absorb for mephisto The adds on Uber Diablo are immune to everything but phys Wait until you have enough keys to open three ports at once so you are guaranteed to get one of each mini Uber

A flat rarity filter wouldn't always work in D2 because some of the most improbably GG items out there are socketed greys with +3 skill rolls.

Golemancers I think could be helped a lot by giving Iron Maiden the same treatment they did to Thorns Aura. Another easy fix would be to go with the Druid route and let the Necro have multiple Golems active at the same time, though that does end up making the Golemancer resemble a regular Skelemancer. Skeletal Mages are tricky: the damage is in a relatively good place by the raw math, but the problem is that their collision with each other, and their attack behavior to fire from maximum range, means that you very quickly run into diminishing returns where you have a bunch of mages standing around doing nothing AND they're blocking your melee Skeletons from being able to hit the enemy. I'm not sure how to really fix that - maybe they could reduce the number of mages but then concentrate the firepower proportionally? Just make the Mages ignore collision? Drastically increase their missile speed?

something I hope they'd still work on is the graphics on the Switch - specifically, anything rendered with fur turns into this ugly checkerboard pattern. It's not too bad if you're on handheld, and for most players would only manifest in the Abominations in Act 5... but if you're a Summoner Druid and playing on docked mode, I find the wolves and the bear distractingly ugly enough that at times I've turned on Legacy Graphics instead I've also gotten a number of crashes playing on the PS4, which is especially frustrating if it strikes in a long stretch between a waypoint. I wonder if it has something to do with the PS4 still using a platter HDD, since the game is otherwise completely crash-free on the Switch and PS5

Holy crap did I kill a lot of cows to get a monarch for my offline sorc. Found two with two sockets and then a magic one (zero magic find) before finally getting a white one, so I guess that's like four 1:6000 rolls total.

I think it would be interesting if you were limited to 4 skeletal mages, one of each flavor, so it's consistent and you don't have to screw around with unsummoning the cold mages or whatever. Then dial up the numbers to make them good enough to use. Maybe add in a synergy with Fire Golem or something. Speeding up their missiles is probably a good idea, too. revtoiletduck fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Aug 16, 2022 |
