I haven't been paying that much attention but it doesn't seem like D2R has shaken things up that much from LoD, definitely nowhere near 1.10 level at least. I noticed for Assassin that they took out some of the Death Sentry synergies and buffed Martial Arts a little but it doesn't seem like any of the most prevalent builds and gearing pathways from LoD have been overhauled.

Skeletal mages would be a lot more fun if each element had their own unique type of missile, instead of a slow moving blob of elemental energy. I doubt anything like that is coming to D2R but I'm imagining fire skellies casting mini meteors. Frozen orbs, chain lightning, poison nova, etc.

Depending on Blizz's view of current/desired power level of summon necro, an obvious improvement, besides ai/fewer stronger mages, would be to give them all every element and have them pick based on target resistance. Poison being strictly worse and the others sometimes sucking is a very fiddly problem, and unless it would make them too strong, removing it feels like just a win.

I'd love to see mages have 2-3 spells per element and be possibly useful.

Does anyone wanna buy some of my poo poo? I'm about 1-2 HRs away from trading up to a Jah to finish my Enigma and I've got some random crap lying around my stash that's too specific to go for anything over the trade channel. I'll take anything for an Um on up. Yuppidoo#1198     I've also got: +1 Bows +6 Dex Grand Charm +1 Lightning Grand Charm +1 Druid Summoning Skills GC - String of Ears, 7% Lifesteal Dracul's, Eth Hellslayer, +4 Ondal's Wisdom, Perfect Bloodletter, Laying of Hands, 4 keys and a token - Bunch of midtier junk like Magefist, Snowclash, Goldwrap, Razor's Edge, 3/5 Tal's and IK, etc.

Update: Murder Noveau graciously tried to lend me some runes, alas my character is non-ladder.  However, shortly thereafter I found a very lucky Griffon's Eye that I then traded up for a Jah and now Enigma is mine once more! I'm now 2 SoJs away from replicating my old trapsin from almost 20 years ago, although with the new D3 season right around the corner I might just settle for my 2x BKWBs. Don't think I'll have the stamina to remake my Burizon.

I think I'm misunderstanding fundamentally because the disadvantage seems to exist only in the context of comparing speed to other classes. E to clarify I'm not trying to start poo poo, I just really want to understand cause I care too much about this game and want to know how everyone feels. I totally agree that melee buffs would be dope as poo poo and class parity would be cool big cummers ONLY fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Aug 25, 2022 |

I think people are disappointed that they're making a big change like this which only furthers the performance gap between melee and aoe caster builds, rather than something that is more beneficial for melee. It's still a positive change, just more positive for the classes that already have way more things going for them.

Iron golem from metal grid used to disappear when you quit out I guess. Now it doesn't so you can have a dope iron golem on any character now and don't have to choose between insight and infinity. Why not both? E: hey gently caress you bro

Melee falling further behind makes the (probably correct) assumption that terrorized areas won't offer much for melee compared to casters. So your barbs stuck slumming it in the pit while the hammerdin is off wrecking mlvl90 white mobs wherever they show up. Part of it's due to melee builds kind of getting pigeon-holed into only certain areas so if that area isn't terrorized welp too bad.

Finished CTA and grabbed an Arachnid Mesh, so now I'm only 2 SoJs away from perfectly replicating my old LoD trapsin. But with the new D3 season starting, that seems like a good place to stop.

I bought this while half drunk last week, it was on sale and I wanted really to try it. Well, color me surprised. I spent, like everyone here I guess, my teen years on this game - I'd never think its formula would still be so fresh today. Also, VV did a hell of a job on putting a new coat of paint on the graphics.

I think the sunder charms are great ideas - not being able to break immunity sucks and there's some sort of clear tradeoff to using them instead of having native answers. They are probably going to centralize builds a ton though (and be super unattainable for the general population but what else is new).

^^^ Traps will work with Infinity because of the Conviction Aura, they don’t benefit from any -Resistance affixes though. It only breaks immunities down to 95% which doesn’t sound worth it.

It means if you use sunder the other -res affixes you're using are fully effective now instead of fractionally. The math for breaking resists really sucks without sunder. Something like 1/5th effectiveness before you break the immunity. That being said I wouldn't touch these charms at all in hardcore. Lamebot fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Sep 16, 2022 |

After checking Arreat Summit for 5 minutes you could run something weird like Radaments Sphere or Bramble or i swear there is something that has massive cold resists but i cant find it so whatever. Plus rare items with an overabundance of a single resistance could become decent trading fodder.

it's definitely going to own for a full vampire set poison necro, because you have tons of res naturally with the set and it doesn't have boots, so you can just slap on some treks which are bis anyway if you're going max block to take advantage of the set now if they'll just help out the vamp form cast frames a little bit...
