Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

I posted my views on the Hatred and Vengence buff in a thread a lot earlier. Hitting auto 4fpa WW on the best base shouldn't be required for even a Zod as it ends up doing double the DPS of an eth steel pillar which are already pretty rare.

Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

One thing to note... There's a hardcoded limit on the runeword property holding txt. It only hold 7 property slots for mods not from the runes themselves. While multiple non CTC/charge item mods can be combined into a single property as long as they share the same value range it still doesn't change the fact that runewords have a much lower coding limit than uniques.

If possible get all the mods from runes listed for all the listings. Anything that only has a part of its total item mod amount from a rune will be taking a rune.txt property slot in some form as well.

Like I said on realm, that shield on a3 mercs can make a2 merc completely useless cuz 20might(beast a3 mercs anyone???). We don't need paladins auras thrown here and there too make ppl happy. It's bad for entire balance. 6-7lvl might as on holy crafts could fit it. 15 or 20 for ber? no.

What did we figure out for A3 Spear Barb merc? 600% Extra ed from Auras with a Level 20 Conc? It's a bad change.

ok, saw the points made. will do the others after i get home at some point this evening. it might be kinda late by the time i finish them, but rest assured i will before i hit the hay for the evenin.

if people settle on what they like on the Victory rw, i will put that in as well...craft level might aura seems to be on the right track. if nothing else i will make it that way and leave disabled for the moment.

Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

It was intended to be used as a melee shield so we could take out the Might and throw on Defiance maybe.

Author:  kramuti [ Sat Jul 23, 2011 11:14 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

anybody opposed to lockdown's idea of defiance instead of might? am about to start finishing this up

Author:  Abominae [ Sun Jul 24, 2011 12:30 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

I'm always down for more Defiance being thrown around. A useful aura on equip, but pretty useless to waste a Paladin on, so its nice to have around.

You should probably reduce the level from 15 to 20 though. Defiance is a pretty beefy defense buff, as well as defensive auras having an innately large radius.
At the very least this turns the shield into an awesome (and worth it) A2 mercenary shield, as currently the only real good thing to slap on them is a Spirit Ward.

As far as melee characters go, I can't see anyone who would validly equip this shield. The block is far too low for any Sword & Board Barbarian due to penalties and Assassins prefer double claw for weapon block. Most Paladins will benefit more from Dragon Scale or even Alma Negra. Tank Amazons would be the key choice to use it, but outside of pure tank, all of them wield 2-handers to compete with the damage output of Barbarians.

The only group of builds I could see benefiting from this shield would be Elemental Melee characters because it does give +2 skills as well as great FBR, and a strong defense boost. Though, HHG with 2x Uber Amethyst gives the same FBR breakpoint and much stronger block, as well as the revised Revenge giving better pierce (but no skills).

You could implement it no problem, it's not the type of item that is game changing, but know that it will be first and foremost a mercenary item. Can't really complain about that though, A2 Might mercenary with Faith/Brand & this Shield is pretty bitchin'. Or even A2 Prayer + Defiance Shield is a bitchin' mercenary for classes who have little % defense buffs (Windy's come to mind)

Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

15 range would work for the aura level a little bit better than a topaz helm and ya even the original concept was looking like a A3 Merc Shield so you could forgo a2 completely.

Author:  kwikster [ Sun Jul 24, 2011 2:21 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

I'm wondering if the concentration aura on Vengeance should be toned down a bit. Possible to like 12-14 range intsead of 20 as is now. Gives a healer the ability to have rather good hammer damage without needing to select that aura. As is with only 1 point in conc and good +skills gear they can easily exceed that. Before patch was released there had been talk of adding lvl 20 conc to Desire rw but was changed using that same argument. Also as to Desire could it be changed to replace this "+90-99 to Maximum Damage (based on Character Level)" with perhaps a lvl 12-14 fanata aura on equip would make it more appealing. Haven't made one this patch, but last patch is sucked compared to BRC.

Author:  LockDown [ Sun Jul 24, 2011 4:45 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

Vengence is in 2H weps tho so they lose... +7 skills the ability to block and a lot of defense. Level 20 Conc for a Zod is an ok deal. Zod runewords should be strong just not game breaking like Geddon and Valor were for certain builds.

Author:  kramuti [ Mon Jul 25, 2011 3:03 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

I made all these shields, but after after the discussion about the holy auras, i looked at a few things. From the original stats, it looks like Madness and Deception should have been claws? What about Shadow of Doubt...it's stats could be taken to be either way...note that i am referring to the stats given by the runes.

Anybody clear this up.

More of an offensive orientated helm to make picking up Pelts and Primals worthwhile while the 95 Uniques stay more defensive and can get more PDR MDR from Diamonds and or Life from Blood Stones. IDK I just think more Helm Runewords are needed.

Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

Don't know about more purely offensive myself... The amp would give -40 phys resist with the soft level based new progression and the life leech makes a defensive mod itself especially when combined with all those offensive boosts. That helm RW would actually be better suited for solo fighting bosses without DOT attacks than a unique (good LL is more important than a little extra life bulb for sustaining a long fight).

Slow is something with increasing returns. As a result its a mod that's harshly controlled (because too much can easily get out of hand). Combined with decrep and a high level holy freeze the slow from multiple chams in a weapon can take an already decently slowed down enemy and slam that enemy's speed into the lower limit global animation cap for speed penalty (-85% overall increased speeds which turns things to a snails pace).

If you are wondering why chams are so low its because there's already too much theoretical slow available in the first place.

It's Druid and Barbarian helm only? If so just set Dru Bar in itypeX. I agree these 2 classes could get some new head rws. Mostly increase dmg/def. Switch +str/dex with +def (flat) and more ar. Remove IAS as it almost doesn't work for these 2 chars - Wolf uses wpn ias, Bear too, WW too, Frenzy is easily 5fpa - and get maybe +200hp or some res. It's hard to keep good res on melee these days :(

I got a chance to think about this more today.
So, you would like this to be more of a caster/summoner wand rather than only melee driven, right?

I am a bit hesitant to put another source of fanat out there for a number of reasons. Is there something you would like to see instead?

Is there anybody opposed to this? I can make a few last runewords if they are okayed.
Any consensus on the barb helm idea?
Anything ever come of the discussion about the last shield runeword?

This is probably the last chance people have to speak up.

Faith off Javs has +3 Skills and Fant. I feel as a Zod runeword it should be at least comparable to a Ber and Lo, but if we're not rolling it with Fant I'd go with OSkill Heart of Wolverine or Spirit of the Barbs.

Post subject:  Re: Runeword proposals 1.3b

I'll start this with the statement that I am not the one to make decisions about balance for high levels.

If we are to change the role of this wand, it needs to fulfill the role people feel is lacking. At this point, the proposal just seems somewhat random.

Frenzytaurs and the like will proc life tap. which would seemingly also be an annoyance. Is this still acceptable?

As for oblivion knights, I forget how much AI really gets transferred on reanimate, seems like it could be kinda dangerous to have a lot of these guys around. I could be mistaken. I would suggest something like doom or abyss knights for theme, not sure about the useful factor.

I can understand the sentiments about faith. I am just vary wary about this skill in particular.

About HoW, how many + to skills can really be stacked by necs? I would rather give it a high level with charges since I imagine it could easily rival a melee druid with maxed HoW. How do people feel about this? (I am one of the few that would actually make an HoW in the present state, so I am probably a bit biased)

-10 to enemys magic res

There is no %life life on kill however... It's going to have to be a very large amount of flat life on kill (such as per say 500 if the current item stat can support it).

--Double Post--

Just took a look at the item stat limits. It's possible to give the RW bonus 127 life per kill outside of individual rune bonuses (without resetting the ladder).

It isn't at all Fathom blows it out of the water. The +20 Hurri also seems gimmicky to me. Maybe take that off and add +10-15% Damage or something.

There is already a zod+cham (thirst from knowledge) runeword. We should probably stay away from that.

I will need to wrap these up at some point today, since it looks like the deadline will be soon.

Making a zodword to be able to replace dweb/boneshade is fine with me. What about making another one along what was mentioned for summoners?

I am not opposed to a change on thirst from knowledge, but it needs to be concrete...soon.

I would personally love to see a remake of Thrist rw. It is so underwhelming compared to Fathom, and at the cost in runes / time it takes to find a good base, it really shouldnt be.

Imo take the 20 hurricane off, possibly bump the conv (as steel said) and look to add a decent mod in place of the cane. Even mana % increase would be more useful then the 20cane Oskill (could help out tk/cb sorcs or any es build)

15% is not much +%ele for a sorc especially when considering they get much larger amounts of the same mod from their element masteries. Also runewords have a 7 property limit (this new thirst for knowledge having 9 without property compression). This sorc orb RW could lose the +15% tri ele and it would hardly dent its power due to sorc masteries.

((sorc element masteries at level 55 grant 300+% of that very same kind of boost as that 15% tri ele on TFK))

Trying to stay away from On Equip as much as possible for most items as it has been brought up that throwing auras around reduces the usefulness of pallys across the board. With the OSkill you can also get a pretty high level fant from all gear 15+ easily. Defiance wouldn't be too bad I'm sure but OSkill would be preferred for auras from now on.

This as a working base looks great with the 30% mana bump. I also agree that adding 15% to the dmg on it really wouldnt add much with each elemental mastery available to sorcs.

Personally I would rather see some form of either:
1) conviction in a higher form than is currently on it (even though small radius/ effectivness as steel pointed out)
2) small amount of built in pierce (nothing too crazy as the choice to go fathom over TK is for the massive pierce it can provide)



Either way things look like they are shaping up great for this new patch.

As far as I now there is no way to run a data folder on D2GS, it must be an MPQ. Also the hosting files may differ from the client ones.

Ie. the hosting files may be using skills and missiles.txt from the client with a lower hitshift as a way to increase effective monster hp while still giving players pretty numbers to look at, who knows.

If you guys had just simply carried these RW discussions out earlier and persued them till their was a good conclusion then they would of actually made it in before the deadline.

Keep in mind this was a somewhat hastily put together patch in the first place. Pious wanted this patch to be timely and that meant we couldn't be waiting potentially days just over arguments/discussions concerning a few not OP items when there were much more pressing matters with the overall balance.

Ah well I was away for a period of time before I could do the whole one handed unique thing :lol: sorry about that. Just would like people to discuss them and figure it out for either the reset and all that.

Actually it was a fault on my end concerning the unique txt file. Steel had sent the proper txt edits just it simply didn't make it in on accident. The reason the one handed uniques made it in on time was because people were much more cohesive and arguing a lot less over the one handed unique changes. Pious was actually prepared to have the patch made without the one handed unique changes if someone didn't quickly step up to do some quick work (which fortunately you did and did so mostly properly Lockdown).

That mess of discussion on the RWs just simply left me wondering WTH was going on with them so I just simply had the quick final edit to TFK to make it more zod worthy.

Concerning the RWs that did not make it in

Less than a month after Duff makes the test patch go life on the servers there will surely be an other round of modding. This is a major patch that just went down and some of the adjustments are probably going to end up either not quite right of there being a lack of adjustment which was an oversight (such as atmas scarab being left at lvl 1 amp which may be weaker than decrep phys debuff now). All the RWs that missed the deadline yesterday can go in once this round of modding actually starts.

My suggestion to those who want to submit a few further runewords... Do the designing, discussion, and refining now while there isn't a deadline looming. If you hold off on discussing till the last day again like what happened yesterday it will not bode well for the chances of your RW being successfully submitted. I would much rather prefer an unopposed agreed upon proposal cleanly before the deadline instead of talk going on what the RW should be going on till the last hour. The same applies to any further unique/set proposals.

So your saying Oblivion is still going to be worthless... I posted about this rw about 2 months ago in the Dev team area to get possitive feedback.. Kramati asked me to post it here we made the changes to it.. Worked out differances to make it worth while and worth making.. Now as it stands the sorc orb is the only one that gets the fix? ... Sad that the necro still don't have his own zod rw but every other class does...Sry i lmow you guys are working your ass's off for us it just sucks that i bean bitching about this rw for years to how worthless it is and no one wants to make it...

The file was too late. It will make it into the last round that Baerk referred to.

I think for a zod rw this is quite underpowered, its inferior to the elite unique wands and just slightly better than White for a bonemancer.

So maybe change this into a poison rw, put the a3 merc poison aura on it and make it available for poizons and venomsins as well? Ofc it should be inferior to the elite uniques, since it would have the advantage of being able to break minorl immunities.

Sure you aren't thinking of Oblivion and Death Knights there? Doom Knights are the ones with a melee attack and energy blasts.
