if added synergy to sanc, foh build would be 20 foh/bolt/hammer/sanc/prayer. Really solid build still. +1 to that idea if demon bypass is removed. Not sure how much magic dmg sanc adds since I've never pumped points into it though.. maybe it will need to be altered a bit to suit foh

Really? If you guys nerf foh...a single target skill that at lvl 46 doesnt break 12k damage....then you need to nerf EVERY skill in the game. Fire druids are MUCH stronger than fohers...any poison character is MUCH stronger than fohers...bliz/meteor sorcs are MUCH stronger than fohers. The list goes on.

What makes foh good is you dont have to have super tweaked endgame gear to be viable vs a boss. However, even with the super tweaked endgame gear you arent much stronger. The other mentioned builds at 99 with shards/anni/los/sammy charms do TONS more dps vs bosses.

200k poison damage with -100 res rapes 5x what foh does vs a boss. 75k fire storm with the same -100 res? You guessed it...rapes.

Physical damage vs bosses is broken...Not viable in the least, even with curses. We havent even started to balance melee....if Im not mistaken this was the whole point of the patch? Isnt that what the entire community was bitching about for 2 years? Melee is still "broken". Instead of focusing on the main issue we are nit picking builds that dont even fall into the "overpowered" category.

i have no idea how much buffing has been done for melees but i seriously doubt it was enough to make them comparable to an foher.

Whoever on HC that has the foher, and killed baal with him, had BO/oak and maybe curse support. Thats 3 characters working together to kill baal, just so happens the foher did the damage. Like to see him solo baal w/o oak/bo. My zon with bo/LR STOMPS baal faster, easier, and with less counters than a foher. A rabies druid and poison nec could do the same. Even other ele builds with my healer and some LR could do baal. The fact is baal wasn't soloed, and a foher isnt the best/only way to kill him.

with about 99% PERFECT gear i solod hell baal with lvl 52 bo and i had 54 oak in the room (but wasnt on me most of the time) on my healer foher. if any other char on the realm was geared that well / expensively then they deserve to solo hell baal in less than the 5 or so solid hours it took. if a say fire druid was geared that well itd take him about 1 n a half (thats with merc killing the fire immunes and fi bosses) if even. healer foher does not need a nerf its just consistant. has low potential compared to most but high consistency.

I hate to say this but I still think the best way to balance this is to go back to 1.21z and start from there again..

And If you want to balance Fohers just cut there dmg back from fohs synergys and keep the bypass... The bypass will keep them from healing but won't totally pound the crap out of a boss...Instead of 20ish k foh at end game it should be around 10 - 12k 8-)

2 things.
a) u love to say this.
b) what were the values of things that made 1.12z soo good? why dont we try returning the values to these and trialing it?? just with boss phys resists. cb, deadly strike etc.
edit: and ofc amp

See you people allways lose my point with 1.21z
1 we wouldn't have lost 3/4 of are community
2 there really wasn't anything to be fixed ex.. small fixs and nerfs
3 fastest way to make 1.21z harder was to raise the diffaculty across the bourd changed the 2 spawn diff to 4 or 5 would have fixed this issue that Jarl started with the game is to easy... And besides at lvl 99 100 the game should be easy for that lvl with all the leet gear and thats how it should be at end game (hence END GAME)..

I think most that are agenst me should get there head out of the clouds and see the real picture that this tinkering with files isn't fixing shit.. 8-)

I hate to say this but I still think the best way to balance this is to go back to 1.21z and start from there again... It seems to me that this mod went way to far from what it was and no one knows how to fix it...

Let me ask you this what really was fixed ??? ... Its bean 3 freaking years sence blue and his dev teams patch and where are we in fixing the mod no where... All I see is ele chars getting all the love with the mass amount of new gear they get now and that goes with pallys how much gear do they need really now there over the top... To me thats not balancing to me its just senceless noodling around with files... And before you start your all god hc rant the truth is just what it is the truth...I bean telling you guys the best way to fix this crap atm is to go back to Terrys last patch and start over with a fresh start...But I understand ego's are at stake here so owell we will wait 2 more years then maybe Hu will be the game it once was Lmfao.. :lol:

"See you people allways lose my point with 1.21z

like blue and purerage. Both are openly rude persons,

they're egotistic hypocrits

YOU (most) people out there let this happen.

I play this trashy mod just for fun.

you'll want 125 fcr on a foh thats last breakpoint.

It says there's a BP at 232, is that not worth trying to get? If you crafted a couple high roll fcr items it may be doable.

I think we need to think this one through before we kill another build.. 8-)

Post subject:	FoH
I kind of feel this skill could use a nerf, by removing the demon bypass. I don't see anyway else to balance it. It's simply too powerful against endgame bosses, mostly from the build's survivability, and how demon bypass allows you to go full tank gear. All you have to do is slap on some tank gear and hold down a button. No other caster can accomplish this without sacrificing a ton of survivability towards pierce. Not to mention it's ability to wreck Hell Baal like no other at the moment due to aforementioned bypass. I'd recommend removing the demon bypass, and buffing the damage so it has to rely on pierce like all the other casters. I really don't want to see another boss killer go, but this build is probably the most well rounded boss killer right now, and the most capable of soloing big boys like Hell Baal. If Baal's immunities were removed(which I think they shouldn't be) I could see the argument of it being kept in place just by how it can be much slower to kill than the other powerhouse builds. Thoughts?

Post subject:	Re: FoH
I do agree foh is one of the best boss killers ATM, but without it Imp and me simply could not have been able to kill Hell Baal. I suppose as long as Baal doesn't have magic immune as one that randomly appears on him then it would just make the fight a bit longer (and more reliant on pierce), but still doable. But that's just one boss, for every other non psn immune boss I still think psn jav is better (less counters, decoy for tank) and while other builds/classes simply cannot be useful dps at boss fights, I question whether we should be nerfing the capable boss killers, or buffing the other ones. I guess I'm not opposed to removing demon bypass, just a bit wary of losing a capable boss killer

Post subject:	Re: FoH
Yeah the more I think about it they seem to be in a pretty good place balance wise. It's a cool and unique build so I'm hesitant to suggest messing with it as well. Another idea I was throwing around was to switch the bypass' again with hammers&foh, and keep hammer damage relatively under control. At least that way you have to be in melee range to do your irresistible magic damage.

Post subject:	Re: FoH
Talked with slap about this a bit ago and figured I would toss this out there. How about adding foh the synergy of Sanctuary? Like how hammers need conc to really be viable becasuse of the dmg buff. What if sanctuary's magic dmg was added to only FOH and Melee? Would this give foh the nice dmg boost if bypass was removed? Would also help them with 20% more peirce. iirc most fohers dont have alot of peirce (compared to other ele builds) With this being the Case you can still build a nice phys and magic dmg din. Without maxing holyshield that is. Or you could sacrafice your phys side for more Tank abilities or healing abilities.

Post subject:	Re: FoH
i couldnt directly add the magic damage from sanc to foh, but i could make it boost foh's damage like conc does for hammers. The way hammers work is they get 1/2 the enhanced damage boost from conc. i could do something similar for foh as in giving it a boost equal to a 1/4 of the damage enhancement listed for demons. to make this work would more than likely require a reset since i would have to make a hidden stat for it.

Post subject:	Re: FoH
I guess it's just different on HC. FoH is the only build we've seen consistently taking out NM/Hell Baal with relative ease(in fact the only build so far for the Hell part). A lot of it is due to it being able to bypass the random immunity, and some of it comes from them being one of the few tanky casters out there. But for SC sake they're fine when you can have glass cannons blasting everything to oblivion without much worry. Like I said in my follow up post I generally think they're fine balance wise, they fill a niche role that's rarely seen in HU. No one was screaming omg nerf ASAP it was just a discussion, and it looks like most people feel they're fine or are on the fence about it. Case closed. And as far as melee goes, they'll be fixed in the upcoming bug patch dew's putting out. For general numbers dew told me he wants to scrap his pdr stuff, and set amp to around -50 lategame with 1 point, and -70 if you max it. I'm not sure if he's putting the DR% back on the bosses he took off so he could work off his pdr formula, but I assume so. So with -70 amp we're looking at approximately 25% less physical pierce than 1.21z, which should still be plenty. Especially since DS and CB are finally back in the game in decent values.

Post subject:	Re: FoH
i have no idea how much buffing has been done for melees but i seriously doubt it was enough to make them comparable to an foher. there really is no point to making a melee when you have a caster tank. fire druids are caster-tanky also, which is why they are so powerful. heres a few things to consider: iron maiden- the bane of melees. dps melees cannot fight vs IM and tank melees do pitiful dmg to deal with it. a caster blows past this with ease. tanky- fire druids and paladins can be just as heavy relative to dmg as any melee. my paladin on hc last ladder was extremely heavy and brought down bosses at will. hit rate - melees have to sacrifice survival stats just to get enough AR to hit consistently. only smiters are the exception (foher with smite backup gear wins). a caster? always hits, and hits hard at that. this is also a pain item wise because foher can stack purely survival gear, a melee needs to sacrifice survival in order to get AR. boss resist - this is the kicker. even a fire druid has to get some pierce to laugh at bosses. the foher can get 0 and pummel them into the ground stacking all defensive stats. what about melees? you need a 2nd player to cast amp for you. you also need crushing blow and if you're fighting diablo/baal you have to strip dmg to avoid IM deaths. a paladin of this type fulfills the same roll as a melee tank AND deals high-consistent dmg to solo a boss. from an hc perspective, there is literally no point in making a melee over an foher, unless it has a special purpose like LOS. i would take an foher over a CI 2 hand melee any day, because attack rating /chance to miss doesn't compare with auto-hit bypass no curse necessary tank. oh, and if you want to rub salt in the wounds, you can put a CB setup on and 1 point smite/cb + amp on your foher too. this will out perform any ar-based melee any day on an act boss. one last note. the moment i saw purerage put the bypass on foh i knew it was OP off the bat. i pretty much carried 2 random guys to first hell baal on sc w/ no hp buffs with this build last ladder (prior to beta). but everyone is so scared of OP melees that they must be kept in chains!

I did compare foh to other casters/elemental builds, and the fact that after a week or 2 of farming that those other ele/caster builds do better vs bosses than foh. Most melee builds are still pretty shitty, and only good for pot running/distracting when it comes to act bosses or any boss like Nihla/Sammy/AnB. The purpose of my post was to dissuade some from nerfing a viable build. I personally don't think foh is teh wtf pwnzor that people make it out to be. When I quested hell with my paly, I played the roll of a medic much more often than I did a foher. If my paly could be accused of being OP it would be for the fact he heals 650+ life per pulse and keeps party members alive in boss fights. Whoever on HC that has the foher, and killed baal with him, had BO/oak and maybe curse support. Thats 3 characters working together to kill baal, just so happens the foher did the damage. Like to see him solo baal w/o oak/bo. My zon with bo/LR STOMPS baal faster, easier, and with less counters than a foher. A rabies druid and poison nec could do the same. Even other ele builds with my healer and some LR could do baal. The fact is baal wasn't soloed, and a foher isnt the best/only way to kill him.

We had level 38 bo, and round about the same oak. was just slappy running around on his fire claws keeping the oak up and un caging me. bo ran out half way through the fight. there was no curse support and it was an epic fun fight. definately not easy. I sure the foher could solo baal himself (not the minions) with his wisp and self bo.

Even back then casters dominated the landscape, only difference was phys dmg was on the map simply cuz of amp progression and nothing more. Fuck, even as a rookie I found it somewhat easy rolling throw most of hell. I watched a psn nova necro destroy Baal in an 8ppl spawn with virtually nothing more than healer assisting. Part of the problem with last patch was there were significant changes, and a lack of change to bring phys dmg up to snuff. IMO, a change in either amp or bosshat by around 10% would have made a world of difference without being game breaking due in part to lowered cb and ds values. I rather tend to ignore Assteorth as it's the same drivel every post. Not to mention how many times it's been said no reverting to 1.21z, even as a base. Therefore, we must move on, and continue building 1.3C and beyond. While I may not agree 100% on the overall changes, I find most to be good ones.

Post subject:	Re: FoH
The FoH pally still needs supported by other chars to perform well. Try using it in a 6-8 spawn game as the only DPS and tell me it's OP then... The skill gets worse and worse the more players there are. If peeps didn't single spawn, they would know this. It's only OP because people are stacking the cards in their favour. Compare it to poison, whare pretty much all pois gear has pierce and skill dmg% on it already. You don't have to sacrifice slots for pierce because its on the gear you would use anyway, + you can pierce to -100, doubling your damage. -50% is more likely, factoring in res etc. It's still a lot more damage than FoH and you can apply it and spend the next 8-9 sec simply kiting, sygnificantly increasing survivability. Ie. try soloing something like Amon in an 8 spawn game with FoH, then do it with a poizon/rabies druid. Sure it's rare to see a full spawn game, but people who choose to spawn propperly shouldn't be punished for it.

And besides at lvl 99 100 the game should be easy for that lvl with all the leet gear and thats how it should be at end game (hence END GAME).. Once again, you fail to realize, adding spawn don't make it harder only more tedious. A 10 min boss fight becomes 20, not any harder just longer. True, much of what could have been done was a series of smaller tweaks, I will give you that one. As to this "at lvl 99 100 the game should be easy for that lvl with all the leet gear" can anyone say DUH?!?!?!?!?!?!

However, far too many builds are being taken from novelty types (vengers come to mind) and attempting to make most viable in all aspects whether it be trasher or boss killer. Each of the last 3 changes have had good and bad, just like your vaunted 1.21z had both. Face facts, we have what we have, either play it or leave, makes no difference to me.

It seems to me that this mod went way to far from what it was and no one knows how to fix it... I completely agree with this. I recognize to Soulmancer the rare ability to BALANCE things and to make a CLEAN mod, unlike most other modders. But I never understood why he gave up his own mod, and why he gave it to some incompetents people on top of that (not all), why he doesn't give a shit is beyond me. Someone said mancer would have asked to go further and not going "back" to a previous patch; really ? He didn't posted anything, he doesn't seem to play and he has obviously no clue about what is going on for years, he just doesn't care. So it's a null argument. If he said that then he's just mocking at the players. Does he think we're retarded ? I think he does. Funny how he used to fix his character's unbalances made by his co-modders when he played; he did this many times. He knows the modders he had chosen don't know how to balance... But for many years now he's not there to fix their unbalances, he made mistakes by chosing incompetent people who trashed his mod, so, who really cares about what he thinks ? I believe the decent modders should work from 1.21z. Asteroth wrote: Let me ask you this what really was fixed ??? ... Its bean 3 freaking years sence blue and his dev teams patch and where are we in fixing the mod no where... All I see is ele chars getting all the love with the mass amount of new gear they get now and that goes with pallys how much gear do they need really now there over the top... To me thats not balancing to me its just senceless noodling around with files... And before you start your all god hc rant the truth is just what it is the truth...I bean telling you guys the best way to fix this crap atm is to go back to Terrys last patch and start over with a fresh start...But I understand ego's are at stake here so owell we will wait 2 more years then maybe Hu will be the game it once was Lmfao.. Again I agree. I've played HU since 1.15 (2005) up to 1.21z (2010?). Then, I saw that some incompetents narcissistic arrogant modders were given power to the forum AND to the mod, to my astonishment and disgust. It's one of the reasons I didn't even bother to download THEIR trashy mod (I couldn't believe the shits they've done), I didn't played "HU" for like 2-3 years, only came back now after I saw people finally acknowledging there were things to fix (I laughed) and that an "important" modder left.

And yes, how do the remaining players explain there're so few now ? You know what, people ? It's your fault. You let some scums take over the mod and let them trash it. You know, like blue and purerage. Both are openly rude persons, and cannot back-up their STUPID views with arguments, it's only "because I want it that way, period", even when they're proven wrong and full of fallacies. They don't give a shit about HU and players, they're egotistic hypocrits who think only about their fantasies, period. As expected, HU has become a trashy dirty mod full of little bugs on maps, with stupid fixes and huge unbalances, ect. Those 2 modders have proven to be a HINDRANCE to the mod. Ok one apparently left... And what did you do, people ? They should had been ripped out at the beginning, but no... You just let them insult and bash random people with no reason, as if it was normal... Worse, you talked to them as if they were respectable, ignored their double-standards, and gave them power to turn HU into garbage. YOU (most) people out there let this happen. Keep going "further" if you wish, I post here one last time to explain why I don't give a shit about HU since ~2010 and why I didn't bother to make posts : IT'S JUST HELPLESS. I don't take HU as seriously as before; never been a fan of exploits, but now I GLADELY let people SS maphack or whatever else, - I don't give a fuck -, I play this trashy mod just for fun. You can't expect people to play "right" when you realize what HU has become, when it is designed to be played in party while there are so few players. Almost everyone are rushing... There's also a lot of hypocrisy with some players "abusing" the Loader, playing multi chars AND blaming "harder" "cheaters" (I do use loader but I stfu about other people's way of playing)... Do whatever you want, keep "fixing" things more stupidly I don't care, but keep in mind many people don't bother to voice their opinion on the forum considering how helpless it is. Or corrupted. Wonder why so many people have left... Have fun.

I disagree Tsume, Purerage and blue have done more for this mod than anyone other than Mancer. I am also truly sorry for your extra chromosome, but it is your problem not ours!
