Post subject: | Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
This thread will be used to provide information and updates on the progress of Hell Unleashed 1.8. It will provide users to share their thoughts, ideas and suggestions for Hell Unleashed 1.8 I am currently looking for help editing the mod and doing testing/balancing. Goals: 1. Preservation. Preserve the classic look and feel of Hell Unleashed as well as their character skills and items. 2. Balance Characters. Identify over powered characters and under powered builds and balance them. 3. Balance Items. Update crafted and rare items to be relevant end game. Tweak mods on unqiue items. 4. Website. Update main website to include information about game, download links, and more. 5. Social Media. Promote game through social media to generate interest from new players. Characters: Patch 1.8 will re-balance characters to play towards their specific strengths and weaknesses. Recent patches have made characters more having similar life, defense, and damage. Patch 1.8 will conserve the intended purpose of the character. Life: Amazon - 5/10 Assassin - 8/10 Barbarian - 9/10 Druid - 10/10 Necromancer - 6/10 Paladin - 7/10 Sorceress - 5/10 Damage: Amazon - 9/10 Assassin - 7/10 Barbarian - 7/10 Druid - 8/10 Necromancer - 8/10 Paladin - 7/10 Sorceress - 10/10 Defense: Amazon - 7/10 Assassin - 8/10 Barbarian - 10/10 Druid - 6/10 Necromancer - 6/10 Paladin - 9/10 Sorceress - 6/10 Patch 1.8 will look to improve the skills and gear available to make several builds that are less commonly used more viable end game. The goal is to not have a realm full of poison Necromancers and bow Amazons. Endgame builds Amazon - Poison Javelins, Lightning Javelins, Physical Javelins, Fire Bow, Ice Bow, Physical Bow Assassin - Fire Traps, Lightning Traps, Mind, Martial Arts, Whirlwind, Venom Barbarian - Whirlwind, Concentrate, Berserk, Warcry, Wolfbarb, Frenzy, Double Throw Druid - Summon, Fury, Maul, Rabies, Wind Elemental, Fire Elemental, Rabies, Fireclaw/Frostbite Necromancer - Poison, Bone, Summon Paladin - Zeal, Smite, Hammer, Fist of Heaven, Vengeance, Healer Sorceress - Fireball, Meteor, Hydra, Blizzard, Frozen Orb, Frost Nova, Lightning, Nova |

As for some suggestions on end game builds: Sorc: Fireball should be combined with meteor as a build. Hydra should probably shoot fireballs, balance around that. The nova spells have always been awkward because of their range and lower damage spectrum, so they need to do a considerable amount of more damage than in the past or have more range. Paladin: Smite has never really been a decent build, just remove it. Healer has always been an incredibly boring build to play, and overpowered in a sense that holy bolt had way too much power. The pulse healing was always a solid boon to a team, but bolt trivialized too much content. I suggest nerfing it's healing values or all-together removing them, while giving them some sort of active ability to contribute. Hammerdins, for example, could scale off prayer instead of conc. Assassin: Mind should have a larger aoe and no mind control on it's mind blast skill. Venom was never really viable, and I don't see how you would make it outside of it being a heavy synergy investment that functions much like a poison zon would in smack an enemy and move away waiting for it to tick. Barb: Whirlwind has always struggled with lack of application of amp. Zerk has always been lackluster in how it functions, it seems much more appropriate to be an offskill for every build to deal with phys immunes. Druids: I think it's a gigantic mistake for spirits to lack invulnerability. They die extremely quick to trash and can be abused on bosses as a target. I don't think hurricane/arma should be neutered as a damage source like in the current patch, wind druids almost entirely relied on the ice stream and hurricane damage to deal with physical immunes and now they have no real options. Party wide buffs: I think BO, Oak, Amp, LR, auras(conv/might/fanat/conc) should be readily available to every class. Having the actual class in the party provides further boon to the buffs, but lacking the things all-together is trying to fight an uphill battle. |

Venom is different from other poison builds as it finishes its duration quick. It's basically a physical attack that deals poison based damage. The duration is only like 0.5 seconds. It is good when used with whirlwind. Specially vs enemies with high physical res and in combination with poison pierce.

Quote: Meteor/Fireball runs same synergies traditionally, so they are interchangable. Does hydra shoot fireballs or firebolts currently? I agree on both nova spells. Remember Nova in Diablo 1? I'm not sure if its possible to increase radius. It's firebolts currently, it was adjusted to fireballs but the damage was never scaled back and it was pretty strong. Personally I think it should be fireballs, hydra is unique in that it can be a boss killer and a solid clearing skill. I do like the lack of cast delay with a cap on how many can be out. Quote: Smite traditionally isn't used as a solo build but a skill to use in conjunction with another melee skills. It's good in combination with crushing blow for bosses as it hits every time. I do plan to lower the heal rate a bit, I found most people used healerdins on a follow bot or just for bosses. I don't plan to remove it but will tone it down a bit. I think making healerdin pulses the main, shining part of the build with the ability to be a playable class beyond having to group with people is a solid way to go. Again, this could be accomplished with a lower damage aura than might for a melee spec, also working with hammers for a caster spec. I don't think healing bolts should permanently keep tanky units up, it makes a lot of things cheesy, rather it should be coordinated in the pulses to help heal through the aoe mechanics. As for smite, you don't heal off it and while it always hits it hits much slower than zeal. Melees should be able to get consistent hit rates. Personally I think it would be more flavor with a debuff attached that lowers damage, so you can weave it into rotations. It currently buffed phys DR, but it felt offputting in a sense that it's duration was super low and most builds will cap DR anyways outside of influences like smite. Quote: Venom is different from other poison builds as it finishes its duration quick. It's basically a physical attack that deals poison based damage. The duration is only like 0.5 seconds. It is good when used with whirlwind. Specially vs enemies with high physical res and in combination with poison pierce. Do keep in mind that dual wield whirlwind hits every 2 frames, I don't think venom could ever hit that fast, especially in later difficulties when poison duration goes up. It was never viable to my knowledge outside of a prebuff on something like a bowa, and never substantially added a decent trash or boss killing mechanic. I think if you wanted venom to be a viable tool, sins would need access to multishot. Quote: Barbs do lack some damage but it is because they are focused more on life/defense. Just like how Sorceress can deal leathal damage but are very squishy. Barbs can commonly outdamage all but broken specs like firewall(tuned high) or blaze(doesn't really matter how it's tuned it's insane). This is because of crushing blow, lifesteal lets them just sit on enemies, but their problem is more clearing trash. An example is I had a barb that could solo kill almost every boss in the game by holding left click frenzy, but when I went into tundra it was so slow it was agonizing. Remember that defense has it's values, but offense and in turn lifesteal commonly comes out to a much stronger defense. To allude to your sorc reference, an orb sorc visually did decent numbers but applicably wasn't very viable on bosses. Barbs could shred bosses, most sorcs can't. Quote: I agree on the spirits. I liked when they functioned like aura's. Was it patch 1.4 that randomly moved all the bosses into different spots and removed invulnerability? I basically gave up on summoning my heart of wolverine because it died 1 hit in hell. I'm glad we agree here. Current patch my maxed oak, which brevan assured me would stay alive decently well, is always dead despite self BO and it's own aura. Any elemental damage from trash wrecks it in seconds. This makes it just tedious to keep up. On a whole other aspect, I can spam it on bosses and they just sit on it indefinitely, sort of like necro blades of the past but with less of a cast delay. Quote: I'd like to bring back the staff with frozen armor, and definitely call to arms with battle order. DEFINITELY ctc lower res on time staff to make rabies druid viable again end game! Personally I think the spirits should be accessible as charges or oskills on wearable items, since you can't swap them out the summons will die. CTA can be on a switch, so it can be nothing more than a stat stick to switch to. I think amp/LR should be oskills as well. A necro will always provide a stronger version, but it gives parties without necros options. Frozen armor feels like a solid CTC on strike on melee orientated armors/runewords, don't see much point in having it as a cast on a staff. This is mostly because most players will have their switch as a sorb set or a CTA. And as for auras, I think conviction should be accessible for casters as early as mid nightmare, same goes for the physical damage auras. With stronger ones coming in later zod runewords. As much as I like prayer's current rendition, I think it's highly abusable in a sense that max % HP pulses and the fact it stacks while being readily available via mercs seems wrong. |

WW Assassin HUv1.7 tried to include this, but it seemed very buggy (char would lock into an invulnerable state about once a minute - rejoin game to unlock). If you find a solution, please share it . Similarly, the assassin has a unique and pretty cool LeapAttack animation where she curls into a flip and drop-kicks the enemy, but after about a minute it'll lock the same way. Hydra HUv1.3 used FireBolts, but it should be a pretty quick and easy change to switch them to FireBalls, let me know if you want a hand. BHammer As far as I know, it's hardcoded to work with Concentration, but you could reduce that effect to zero, and then give it a soft-coded effect to work with Prayer (look at Huv1.5's effect between FoH and Santuary for an ideal example; or v1.7's +%MagicDamge in skill synergies for a different type of example) |

Seeing Rabies druids again should be fun. You need LR end game to break immunity's and do good damage. So time staff should help with LR back on it. I'm thinking of a late game fireclaw/frostbite weapon with both fire/ice pierce. Maybe a runeword called Duality. The build should give the player some choices as it wont be possible to max all synergies. Skills you need to consider, lycan, werewolf or werebear, fireclaw, frostbite, oak sage, hurricane (frostbite synergy), cyclone armor (frostbite synergy), armageddon (fireclaw synergy), firestorm (fireclaw synergy). Werebear was very powerful in 1.3b compared to werewolf. Werewolf is suppose to be a life/attack rating based skill. Werebear is suppose to be a defense/damage base skill. With level 20 Lycanthropy. Werebear level 20 161% life bonus 41% critical strike 480% damage 480% defense 315% attack rating Werewolf level 20 131% life bonus 145% defense bonus 525% attack rating 70% attack speed You can see werebear is considerably better. Higher life bonus, higher defense bonus, and huge damage and crit strike bonuses. Life bonus needs to be lowered on Werebear. |

I played ghosts for years in actual d2, essentially caster killers in pvp who utilized mindblast and traps to stun lock and whirlwind with venom/OW to kill. Never had a bug where it locked up. I also played a little around with it in 1.5 iirc, but the damage wasn't there. |

Makes you hard to hit as moving. I need to add some synergies to venom to give it viable damage. Right now venom is its own synergy at 3%. 60% damage bonus when maxed. I think I'll make Cloak of Shadow 5% poison damage bonus and maybe something else. Currently at level 20 it does 2,000 damage over .5 seconds. I have no gear on but it need to be around 20,000 end game I would think to be viable. Fury does around 40,000 max damage end game + critical and hits 5x a second. We will do some testing. |

I have a question here first: are you branding it "remastered" because you're moving away from 1.10 and remaking it in 1.14 or whatever the current patch is? And as for suggestions, I liked when bo was 1 active skill and the rest of them just added their bonuses to that one, this was taken out in 1.7, I believe? I also agree with Angel about Mind Blast, please remove the conversion effect. Something replacing the Paladin Conversion skill would also be good, I don't know what, anything. Probably pretty early to say what to do, I guess you haven't been working too much on things yet. Also, were spears ever a thing for Amazons in HU? Probably the only class I never really played a lot. I see you mentioned javelins and bows. How about giving spears some love even though nobody would probably use them other than me on a shitty character to handicap myself even more. |

Poison jav was decent. Lightning jav cleared trash decently, but CB on bosses is suicide. Physical javs are mostly fun builds, I tried a jav/bowa hybrid when GA was useless and they fell off later. This could of been primarily because CB was non existent that patch, though. |

It was broken because you don't know how to balance numbers, not because it is innately broken. Two issues with the spell, first is being able to corner cast it. This is why traps were centered. Second is people using maphack and attacking through walls, I saw this used quite often on the boss before andy in pubs. Hydra in it's old rendition had to be balanced around being your only attack skill. In it's currently rendition, it's supplement to fireball. Your argument makes no sense either, whether it is fireball or firebolt is irrelevant to singletarget damage. |

Post subject: | Re: Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
So, your solution is to make it a trap, and lessen any distinction between classes. Hydra has been a strong build for a long time. Give it aoe will force you to nerf the damage to the point that it doesn't not even do what you set out to do. We did nerf the damage...by like 1/2. You'll need to hit about 1/8 to make it to where it doesn't almost instantly clear the screen. This doesn't matter if you have it at your feet or not. If you want to cure that problem, you will need to relower the missile speed, give it a longer cast delay as well. This will make it useless. |

For those who remember the patch was pretty well balanced and we had a good population playing at the time. A few characters were over powered (poison Necromancer and poison Amazon), and there were lots that were just irrelevant end game. My main goal is to just do some balancing based on my experience with 1.3b. |

Add skillers back. Game was fun when they existed. Builds went from strong to OP when you invested enough time and the economy was booming. It also made it worth to farm shit and gave an endgame well beyond the initial start of the patch. |

Two builds come to mind getting out of control. Poison characters and hurricane/arma. Poison characters always put out big problems where they hit critical mass and go insane, even without skillers, they're either potentially bonkers or virtually unplayable. Hurri and arma scaled too well for pulse damage, more significantly because they weren't just those for damage sources, they had crazy st with fclaw and fbite. |

Post subject: | Re: Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
If I remember right it was the patch with mastery runewords, doubling an already high damage made it one shot virtually all trash. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, you have to take into account that despite it's damage it still cleared slower, and on bosses it still had massive problems with counters and staying alive. The key part about poison being so strong, and this mostly is for poison javazon, is the ability to do so much damage while maintaining distance and relative safety. I think dodge and avoid creates too many problems to leave in the game honestly. Poison is one of those buillds that is wonky in general. First playthrough it'll do pretty awful damage. It's only when you reach a critical mass of pierce, mastery, and +skills where it gets out of control. But there really isn't a good way to negate the powerhouse without making the playthrough garbage. I think it was the patch after the first nerfs our javazon was barely noticeable in the playthrough, then was ~5 hitting bosses once she got perfected. But even still, if skillers existed, bosses aren't the only content anymore. In fact, they're the least important content imo, and javazons clear slow as shit. Common endgame content was just clearing to baal, doing baal for exp. Or clearing/teleing to azmodan and belial and killing them. Got stale real quick. |

Again the goal is not to reinvent the whole game with this patch., It's simply to improve on some minor flaws of 1.3, do some balancing, make character builds balanced but still unique. Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed. |

Was going to call it Retribution or Divine Retribution. May replace Impale with a magic based attack as well. I don't want to change too much as I'm new to mod making. I mostly just want to balance out 1.3, one of the most popular and well balanced patches we've had. I'm sure Brevan would be willing to help though. |

Just is more annoying than useful. I don't recall anyone ever putting more than 1 point into it. I was thinking a single target magic based attack called Retribution. Maybe for hammerdins to use vs bosses. Holy bolt and blessed hammer synergies. Converts physical damage to magical damage. |

What i suggest not only for this mod but for every D2 mod is: 1)Get rid of charms or do something with them so that they dont end up filling your entire inventory 2)Get rid of Magic Find. Lets not be in dilemma whether we should equip that +MF item or that item with the sweet stats. After all D2 is all about equipping and having fun with the best you have. 3)Skill pre-requirements. Old, bad, unbalanced, outdated feature. |

Post subject: | Re: Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
Not to be used personally, but when the merc converts shit it does take a lot of pressure off of him. I would remove healing from holy bolt, make an active prayer add a % damage to it similar to conc/hammer interaction. Give it a spread like teeth, but shorter range, giving healers an ability to clear or contribute to trash. Change it to hit everything, not just indead. Balance prayer pulse to be around 5% of an average characters health per pulse, with perfect gear allotting to around 10%. The ability to wear both med and cleansing would then give 15-30% heal pulses. Change foh to deal massive damage and massive healing but on a large cast delay. Essentially full healing every character you target it on, but with a 4-5 second cast delay, it wouldn't be as abuseable as current holy bolt. As for damage, dealing massive chunks of damage when healing isn't required is nice. And if it's possible, a decent rotation to weave it in on trash clearing with the spread of bolts it does. Hammerdins have anways been really wonky. They require melee range to do damage to bosses effectively, their aoe is odd at best. I think doing something similar to how bo is a single skill would be good for their three damage auras. With say might being the base aura, the other auras simply being synergies to might, and having might affect hammer damage. This would give them an 80 point build, 100 if you add a synergy to hammers. Onto survivability. In general paladins need some sort of survivability. They key ability that is unique is holy shield. If you adopted the above thought process, zeal and hammers would be base 80 point builds with no synergies. Throw holy shield as a synergy and it's a solid 100 point build. Make holy shield give a % life buff so they can compete with barbs and druids and make sure oskill holy shield doesn't exist. As for auradins, the pierce their auras give should be superior to conviction but for a single element. The pulse should be relevant against white trash, but useless against named. And the primary damage should come from applying the damage from attacks to single target. This was a huge mistake in current 1.7 where the pulse damage is as strong as the auto damage. Either pulse will be too high or added damage will be too low. Vengeance should just convert physical damage into all three elements, with might aura synergizing with conviction to give it an ed property. I do prefer the aoe vengeance, I always thought it was a nice touch. --------------------------- On a completely seperate note. Please for the love of god keep items relevant. No need to have useless trash cluttering up the drops. Don't take brevans retarded approach of trying to add all these useless oskills, because what it ends up doing is being utterly useless(like current rendition) or utterly broken(think fire mastery on fire trappers, cold mastery on hurricane druids). This doesn't mean you shouldn't have oskills. For example, auradins, zealers, eve dclaw sins all have problems clearing trash. Oskill multishot was something that could alleviate said problem, but it was always done wrong. You never shot out enough arrows because the oskill was always too low. Giving early, mid, and late game options for something like this is fine in my opinion. What is a dumb option would be something like brevans golem set. One nice thing I can think of was the very early access to oskill teleport. This helps summoners immensely, but also any sort of caster who isn't a sorc. But it was done improperly by forcing you to use a staff. I would highly suggest looking into unoptimized early game items to oskill tele(think a set that doesn't give as much +skills as uniques, but doesn't limit weapon/shields). A midgame option that is a bit more optimized.(a piece of jewelry with decent stats, but again less +skills) A late game item that is solid optimization(same +skills as simimlar belts, less defensive stats be it health, mana, res, etc) And finally a 95 that is extremely well optimized, where as you make no concessions for wearing it, it's just good. On a note about 95s. They're essential for mod longevity. We need things to work towards, to make playing the characters worthwhile. 95s were an excellent source of this. But again I will dictate that I would like to see skill gcs in the game. |

Post subject: | Re: Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
To respond to doubtfulmind 1. Charms are an excellent source of longevity to character creation. Removing them would be a poor idea, especially since the cube is already excessive inventory space. 2. Mf really only mattered in trash clearing, and in that regard it is a choice between clearing more efficiently versus finding more items. i think it works well, and forces you to find a decent balance between the two stats. 3. Hardly makes any difference. If you mean having everything available at one, it just makes balancing the numbers harder. |

Post subject: | Re: Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
1)My point is that the general idea of having charms filling your inventory is simply a bad game design. There should be some kind of limit. 2)Again, it depends on the mod. In HU 1.7 it was useless for bosses but very useful to get quality items from trash packs. BUT if you have a mod where the boss has 10% to drop unique item and you have 100% MF, that simply means another +10% chance to get that unique (20% total). And this is exactly why its a bad design. Because if a mod is truly hard then you need all the good statistics you can get to deal with the content and not care whether you have MF or not. And again, the same goes for trash mobs. If they are hard enough then u need all the good gear u can get instead of going for MF. Games like D2 are all about: Equip the best gear you have and go kill staff thats why i believe MF is simply a bad feature. 3)Sorry but you are wrong. AGAIN!! It depends on the mod. If in your mod every skill point counts then wasting a point on a skill that isnt part of your build, is 100% waste and its the opposite of build diversity cause it forces you to spend points on skill u simply might not want. If you think skill X is weaker than skill Y then instead of forcing ppl to learn skill X to get access to skill Y, either modify skill X to make it competitive with other skills or simply remove it and add another skill thats good enough to be competitive. Forcing ppl to learn useless skills is excuse of a bad game design. |

Post subject: | Re: Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
There really isn't a better way of doing it tbh, and I personally like charms. Not sure why you hate them so much. I find this interesting since the majority of my gear was from farming normal bosses for base gear to upgrade. Between that and gambling, gold find was the big winner. Mf is and was useless in 1.7 because no lucrative gear existed. Lastly lots of things are bad game design, but people work with the limitations of the engine. In general prereqs have little consequence, the one and only issue is dodge and evade on melee zons. As for level reqs, it allows you to kit powerful spells later. |

Old, bad, unbalanced, outdated feature. Appreciate feedback. 1 and 2 have same answer. It's a choice of strategy. You can fill inventory with charms that will boost your character, but it makes picking up gear harder. You can put on MF gear to boost odds of finding better stuff, but you are going to clear slower vs good gear. As for 3 I think the prerequisites for skills is essential. You wont drop more than a few skill points anyways in prerequisites so it's not really a big deal. Need to learn how to stand before you can walk, need to learn how to walk before you can run. |

Post subject: | Re: Hell Unleashed Remastered (1.8) |
I can see what u mean (regarding pre-reqs) but still, this is a game in the end a skill thats not being used is simply a bad skill. Pre-reqs wouldnt be so bad (thinking of vanilla for example) IF the skills that are required to get access to the next skill give you proper syngery bonuses. So that u dont feel u wasted points, PLUS this way your way of thinking (first stand, then walk etc) will make more sense realistically as well. Because standing gives you bonus to walking. So the same should be applied to the game. For example (just example to get what i am saying), if the first skill in the column is Leap which is required for Leap Attack then Leap HAS to give a decent amount of bonus to Leap Attack and every other skill in the Column, because for example, if the column has 4 skills and all you want for your build is the last skill (forth) then all the 3 previous skills have to give bonus to that forth skill so that you dont feel that u wasted 3 points just to finally get access to the skill u really wanted. |

One thing I'm debating is if I want to rebuild all items, or just fine tune here and there. A complete rebuild would take a lot of time. I think 1.3 was already pretty balanced. Yeah there are some less than useful items in there, but they are better than nothing to some people before they find better gear. |

If you give me information on how to edit items I wouldn't mind going through and making items less redundant. In general I think items should be clear cut in their design and intended purpose. Having a druid helm with skills, fcr, and melee stats makes little sense. Seems superior to have a melee version and a caster version. There are also just a lot of items that serve no purpose, or serve so an absurdly unique and unfleshed out purpose that they're pointless. An example of this is a necro melee wand. This isn't to say I wouldn't mind said items being in the game, but they at the very least need to offer viability. As I have stated previously, multishot is an excellent alternative for a wide variety of melee centric builds to give them a way to clear, but usually the gloves give a single oskill and it's hardly worth the endeavor. I know a lot about a lot of builds. Bowazons, melee barbs, bone necros, poison zons, etc. but this is an awful way to discuss it which is why I asked if you had a discord. |

The way I'd like to create uniques and set items is this. - Items will have "modification points" to spend on item modifications. - Normal quality uniques 20 points - Exceptional quality uniques 40 points - Elite quality uniques 60 points. - Low level modification will require 2-3 points, example 10% damage reduction. - Mid level modifications will require 4-5 points, example 20% damage reduction. - High level modifications will require 6-7 points, example 30% damage reduction. On average you will get 6-10 modifications per item. This is a good way to balance out how many modifications are on an item and make sure it isn't too over powered. |

I'm going to be very thorough with this patch. Hopefully build a foundation that can be used for patches going forward. I didn't really want to do a total rebuild, just minor adjustments. After talking to over a dozen people there's a lot of common suggestions among most players that I feel people really want to be addressed. Right now my focus is on rebuilding unique items. I'm creating a list of all possible item modifications (and the modification range vary based on equip type such as helmet, body armor, amulet, gloves, etc.) The current file is 1,110 lines of modifications with 3 columns of variables I need to fill in. Once this is done unique items will get to choose 6-10 modifications of this list. The range of these modification will be based on the item quality level (normal, exceptional, elite). This measurement system will assure we have balanced, well designed and useful items across the board. Items with a purpose that will help various characters. Here is the spreadsheet I'm working on for unique item modifications. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing |

Ladies and Gentlemen, your elite unique armors. Super Elite Armors Demonspike Coat (resist armor) Templar's Might(elemental caster armor) Steel Carapace (melee armor) Tyrael's (defensive armor). Ormus remains an elemental caster armor. Wyrmscale is still a good caster armor. Gladiators Bane is a defensive armor. Glassglare is still a great absorb piece of gear.

Exceptional Unique armors are done. We remain with the theme of having an armor for fire, lightning, cold, poison, magic, melee. There are multiple caster, melee, defensive items as well as resist items. If you noticed I replaced Glorycrest Elite Unique with Demonspike Coat, a classic unique from Diablo 1, you will see Glorycrest made its return but 20 levels lower. Should be easier to find now as well! This will allow for MFing around the start middle of Nightmare.

I'm of the mind that Griffon's Eye should be - 15% enemy resists across the board; all except poison. Also, could Veil of Steel have +5% max all resists instead of Damage Reduced by %? Hrm. How has the common Damage Reduced by x% worked on high end items? I wonder if things shouldn't be so symmetrical and have one off mods to signify that that's what they are? Edit 2 - Could there be more X on level mods on items? Some of them are unique enough to last until later levels. |

So if it war 15% fire and next best was 13% light, it would go to our parties fire member. It's really not that big of a deal though. Small %. Also have to be careful with sorb. Veil of Steel is meant to be for physical resistance and defense. There are a few sorb items if you want to stack sorb. If a boss or area has high ele damage you may use the following item just for that area. Blackhorn's Face Death Mask Level 60 1 All Skills 200% Enhanced Defense 25% Faster Hit Recovery All Resist +25 Absorb Fire 4% Absorb Lightning 4% Absorb Cold 4% Poison Length Reduced 50% Cannot be Frozen Socketed (2) Not sure what you mean by other stuff. |

-snip original message- Mods that are X/character level. E.g. 1 str / clvl. These could be anything within the limits of the game. For the other question I asked, I mean putting a mod on an item that is based on lore of the item itself. Something flavourful but still relevant. Like, Giant Skull having crushing blow on it (low percent because there are few p.immunes in this mod). The max resists thing could be handled by not awarding absorbs on items. These should be suitably rare and not in conjunction with the best items in the game. These should be equipment choices, but not common. These are just my thoughts. |

Doing some more work on the patch now. The main thing I'm doing is working on creating a purpose for items and then balancing them. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing You can see in the spreadsheet below that each tier of items tries to have at least 1 piece for melee, caster, defense, resist, absorb, and individual elemental gear (fire, lightning, cold, poison, magic). |

I would just like to point out what angel said in terms of builds and removing smite and how healers are boring. I personally think that is a load of shit and in fact love playing as a healer, smite is a useful skill whether its used as a sole build or just a utility. The healer provides another aspect to the game which no other build can, it promotes teamwork and provides variety, i make a healer every single patch and find it very rewarding and enjoyable to play as. It really needs to remain as it is, its up to you whether you scale it up or down i dont care, just dont butcher it. Cheers! |

i have to say that i cant wait to see this patch going live... im not one of those vets that plays hu since the begining but i did start on 1.3F and i found that it was the most fun patch online ive played. i mostly think that going in major skill / build changing is why the patch variety is so huge and also why it feel so bad... i think going into to mutch major change will probly end up on a non balanced patch since it will make NEW problem. i mean if you want to nerf or buff some of the skill go for it but i think that the biggest issue about doing the major change is that you wont ever have enough help at testing so it wont feel as perfect as you guy would like too... if you guys are going in a remastered version it will be AWESOME anyway im not here to say do this or do not since i dont even have the time to help you guys do it and also i dont have the knowledge but plz keep it simple this mod is so awesome trying to change the core is probly wat makes it die slowly.... on the other hand i think adding new content is probly the best way to attract ppl. i think that most of the player ( if not all ) are nostalgic... keeping that in mind... if we could had a whole section to maybe ( act4 ) and in that section we could bring diablo 1 features... maybe the WHOLE d1 it will be so insane... i was thinking about it and i ended up on 1 problem so far. ( not talking about the work and everything it involve but ) adding a HUGE maybe 16 level in act4 will probly end up having to balance all the monster n drops n shit in act5 since we will get alot of exp down there. ... i was thinking to keep that aspect simple we could probly make that portal opens only in Hell act4 since wps are pretty LOW and make that area ilvl95. a full new area that unlock once you kill maybe Hell baal ? and in that area there should be lvl 95 items runes n things like that .... i was also thinking of adding a bonus to mf% every time you get past a entire lvl ( refering to d1 there was the cathedral/catacombs/cave/Hell lets say once we enter the cathedral we get +100% mf once we enter the catacombs an other 100%mf + 100% in cave and +100 in hell. so it end up having 400% mf when you enter lvl14 (hell area) ... maybe its not a good idea at ALL but you know for some builds it hurths ALOT to cut dmg to pull in mf so it could be helpfull to have a bonus to MF.... so let me know wath you guys think and also im sorry for my bad english. GOOD luck and +1 on trying to keep that mod alive i cant wait to try that remastered version !!!! thx guys |

DoubtFuLMind wrote: What i suggest not only for this mod but for every D2 mod is: 1)Get rid of charms or do something with them so that they dont end up filling your entire inventory 2)Get rid of Magic Find. Lets not be in dilemma whether we should equip that +MF item or that item with the sweet stats. After all D2 is all about equipping and having fun with the best you have. 3)Skill pre-requirements. Old, bad, unbalanced, outdated feature. On your point about charms, i do have to agree, although rather than removing them, why not create a small inventory space dedicated to general charms/ non unique, which forces people to decide on what charms they need/want for their build without becoming a hindrance on your inventory. leaving you to fill your inventory with the unique charms if you wish. |
