Or not your patch. Your head is in the right place trying to get HU again but this is just ridiculous. Most of the item changes dont make ANY sense. Youve ruined charactors with your hotfixes, you want to have legacy items when something goes wrong. And now youre asking for a reset to put ANOTHER one of your patches on. Theres already been a reset this patch not even a month ago. Another reset for your patch is just insanity. You had no idea this was going to happen, you didnt even know where to get wirts jewels. The rare "upgrades" dont make any sense, along with the crafts. This is a complete nightmare.
This is something I've been thinking about but is complicated and not a ninja fix. We can't use old items without nerfing allllllllllll the bosses or the game won't be beatable. We can't revert the items and the bosses without considering that we have a resist cap. Most people prefer the resist cap, but the game would be too easy, which means we need the harder bosses, but the items might not fit. I'm telling you, if we just plug the resist cap string into 1.5b it will be easier than vanilla.
The only realistic options are to perfect 1.6c, which it nearly is, or use 1.5b and have immunities again. They are both pretty safe solutions.
1.6c has less op rares, more balanced elite uniques, fixed summons/sorcs, and no more broken items. I've also gotten rid of level 100+ crafts.
1.5b is probably a very solid patch as well, and we could try the updated tougher bosses with the resist cap in that patch but it might not work.
I spent 2 weeks balancing bosses with resist cap, and it shows because nobody has ever really complained about the bosses, just the items.
