NOTE: go here after getting the test pack to download an edited cubemain to make testing item stuff easier. Changelog below has everything included and has been reorganised. Edit Reminder: This will require a reset. There are changes to both the order of skills, and to automods on items. A number of automods have been removed and multiple affixes have been changed. This will destroy multiple existing characters, and most of those who survive will have spent skill points moved into other random skills as skills.txt order has been changed to fix the current problems with staffmods (barb helms/wands/staves/claws with wrong and/or unusable skills). A lot of this is bug fixes. Don't expect any radical shifts in monster layout, damage etc (though damage has been adjusted slightly). most of it is suggestions taken from various parts of the forums. I'm semi-free until friday, so that's your time limit for any other suggestions (If I can fit it in). Make a new thread for those suggestions please. I spent forever trawling through rivers of tears and dick measuring to find most of that. 1.41D packed update: Run D2ModSetup!!! You NEED to download the new core and you NEED to run D2ModSetup if not using D2SE. If using D2SE, extract the core to your MODS folder! D2SE CORE: http://www.speedyshare.com/8pS9s/downlo ... -1.41d.exe NON D2SE CORE: http://www.speedyshare.com/cFNWT/downlo ... -1.41d.exe HU 1.41d FULL: http://www.speedyshare.com/P7taD/downlo ... t-Full.exe HU 1.41d LITE: http://www.speedyshare.com/mhr7n/downlo ... d-Lite.exe Back up your D2Game.dll or just copy the entire HU folder and extract it to the new folder instead. Uninstall any previous clientside edits (text edits).Run in -direct -txt if non D2SE, or HULaunch just hit the play button. Do NOT install client edits after extracting this, it'll overwrite the data folder and shit will get messed up. I didn't have time to pack it for HULaunch yet. Once everything is good to go I'll set up a proper package. =========================================== Changelog =========================================== General - Maximum Resistances from 75% to 85% (Available through Max Resistance Items) - Maximum Damage Reduction from 50% to 60% (Available through Max Resistance Items) - Added Tome of Baphomet, that will return you to Act 1 Town when used.

Question, can mon-amp be set to scale to diff norm, nm hell? Seeing 100 amp in normal is a bit steep, don't know if it's possible. Such as capped at say 50% norm, 75% nm and 100% hell? |

It'd be a flat rate. The value is hardcoded (IDK why they done this...). I can try dig out the ofset and scale it back a touch. it's only certain amp that it happens with (cursed and moncurse iirc) new folder up, fixed couple bugs |

Just looking at the changelog, I'm wondering is it possible to buff a bunch of the completely unviable builds/classes a bit and make them somewhat viable? For example, paladins seem only be useful for auras. Necro's (bone maybe a tiny bit, poison, summon) and Zon's (bow and Jav) also need some love. I think Sin's are in a pretty good place with the changes Fire druids I'm unsure about, but it seems like no-one is playing them. Same with summon druids. For Hurricane/tornado druids something needs to change. They do good damage, but it is dumb for a caster to get that close to do damage, especially to bosses in this patch. I have not seen a shapeshifting druid after A2 normal (love). Barb's have changes. I don't know shit. Sorc's, I've seen basically none of. Seems like with the exception of firewall as a boss killer they are not very useful to have around compared to any other class. They have decent trash clear, but other classes can do that better and still be useful for bosses (lightning/ cold) I just feel like there are a bunch of builds that obviously need tweaking and wouldn't take very long to adjust it. Yes, it would be buffs for a large amount of skills... But then maybe we would actually see those skills again, as opposed to every class (except sins) having one actually viable build. |

Snickers220 wrote: Just looking at the changelog, I'm wondering is it possible to buff a bunch of the completely unviable builds/classes a bit and make them somewhat viable? In theory yes, in practice, probably not. I have like 24 hours left to spend on this and 8-10 of those will be spent sleeping (it's 10:25am, I started this from scratch at 1pm yesterday and haven't slept yet). If they were buffed, it'd be hastily thrown together (not ideal). Quote: For example, paladins seem only be useful for auras. Mainly because boss damage is > pally bulbs when playing untwined and outside of an ideal party setup. They need major support to be able to take hits well and most of the time, 2 big hits will = fail. The problem isn't so much a lack of damage, it's being unable to deal that damage because they are not ranged. Quote: Necro's (bone maybe a tiny bit, poison, summon) and Zon's (bow and Jav) also need some love. Our HC team used a phys bowzon originally and she was our main damage source. Maybe you mean the elemental side? Lightning jav skills are only good for trash as their heavy hitting single target skill causes a million counters and as with the pally, it's impossible to get close enough to a boss to use it without risking a 1 shot mechanic. Quote: Fire druids I'm unsure about, but it seems like no-one is playing them. Same with summon druids. For Hurricane/tornado druids something needs to change. They do good damage, but it is dumb for a caster to get that close to do damage, especially to bosses in this patch. I have not seen a shapeshifting druid after A2 normal (love). fire tree for druid has always been kinda bad IMO. The missiles are either slow and clunky (not effective with current boss speeds) or low damage spread over an area, thinning out the dps even more. Volcano and fissure are pretty much exactly the same skill with a diff animation and firestorm needs you to be toe to toe with the boss (lolgl) Quote: Sorc's, I've seen basically none of. Seems like with the exception of firewall as a boss killer they are not very useful to have around compared to any other class. They have decent trash clear, but other classes can do that better and still be useful for bosses (lightning/ cold) Sorcs need quite a lot of work, but again it boils down to being too flimsy that they are rarely seen. Before any big changes are made to classes. the 10-15k gap between tank classes and dps classes hp needs to shrink so you are not getting 1 shotted repeatedly. That can't happen until enemy damage is brought under control. Quote: I just feel like there are a bunch of builds that obviously need tweaking and wouldn't take very long to adjust it. Yes, it would be buffs for a large amount of skills... But then maybe we would actually see those skills again, as opposed to every class (except sins) having one actually viable build. You also have to weigh the pro's and cons of the skill. Does it cover a large area? how many mobs can it hit? Do you need to pack enemy packs tight to maximize damage or keep them spread out? How many times can it hit per second? Does it pierce? How much damage will it be doing at character level, 20, 40, 60 and 80? Does it grow too fast? does it grow too slow? How high is the mana cost? Is it worth the mana to do XX damage to YY number of targets when this other skill can hit a single mob for XX times more damage and kill it fast to reduce the incoming damage as a result? etc. etc. It might seem like a quick job, but to get it right, it's a long process to go through for each skill, and this is absolutely the last patch update that will be happening until the next major update. It needs to be done soon and it needs to be right. I'll see what I can do when I wake up, but I won't promise anything. Trying to do too much in a short time results in pitchfork and torch wielding maniacs, screaming for the head of the ungodly monster who implemented these changes! That's one of the reason's I' hesitant to throw too much into the mix at once. |

| Post subject: | Re: 1.41d Test Patch links |
Thank you, I understand it wasn't going to be perfect and things would have to be done on the underpowered side, but it seems like just boosting the damage for a bunch of them ( with the idea that we would rather have too little of a buff than to large of one) wouldn't take too long and may return a few of them to being played occasionally. For phys bow zons, the single target dps for everything was fine. the aoe from multishot felt very lacking for clearing even non-elite trash. The biggest issue, probably for another patch, is their transition into hell is SO difficult. It's extremely hard to get even close to the amount of resists you need without sacrificing all of that damage. Just became super gear dependent, which I could not supply. Edit:: Also the cooldown on guided arrow seems really annoying. Making people spend 20 hardpoints before it is useful is just such a large skill sink with nothing getting better, you basically don't improve via skills between level 20 and 40. Maybe make it like 5 or 10 hard points. |

Is the buff to WW going to be enough? The issue was that it sucks against trash because it's nothing more than a mobile zeal compared to stun doing damage to everything in aoe, which is why I originally suggested it gets a very small nova so it does hit everything around it. |

WW is heavily hard coded. You can't make it do anything other than what it already does. I'll see if I can do anything with it, but I highly doubt it. |

Sounds pretty intense, but I guess something could be done with that. If WW really can't be made into a proper trash clearing skill... make it into a more proper boss killing skill? Completely random and most likely unbalanced thoughts: Stun-WW synergy? Innate crushing blow/critical strike? Bonus IAS? Movespeed? Lifesteal? Defense? Just how much can you mess around with the skill? |

Without a necro you have weak ctc or charges of curses. Without a pally,you have weaker on equip auras Without a druid you no spirits.

WW adjustments effect WW on trash only. You need to be making things die with it to receive the benefits of the buff. I added a passive that grants a chance to spawn a flurry of tornadoes from the corpse of an enemy killed with whirlwind. The tornadoes reduce enemy dr by 5% and slow their movement by 50% If you are inside the windstorm when it goes off, you get a damage buff during WW and magic pierce added to WW (only during whirlwind) for 5 seconds. the 9/8 weapon damage was reverted and replaced with this instead. |

Wait what? Let me see if I get this right. Whirlwind: -When spinning, has X chance to spawn tornadoes from the corpse of fallen enemies. Enemies damaged by tornadoes are slowed by 50% and have their DR by 5%. Whenever a tornado is spawned and you are spinning, your damage is increased by Y and you gain Z magic pierce until you stop spinning. Did I get it right? I'm seriously confused by the description. It looks nice, but incredibly confusing. Video plox? |

During this, you gain a buff that adds ED% to whirlwind and magic pierce to whirlwind. Take a look, link is in OP. The chance of spawning a nado area is increased by the passive, as is the damage buff |

I don't think we should put WW in the way it is right now. Since we've seen that corpse explosion buffs work, is it possible to make it stack? The tornadoes feel out of place especially since no damage is done. I think its a step in the right direction. I think changing the buff to a mana/life/AS/crit chance bonus might be better. Another idea would be removing the conversion % and simply adding bonus magic damage from synergy instead. This would at least not reduce the amount of leech the barb is getting and would make better use of the %. Even still, having to max mastery, WW, windflurry and berserk is a whole lot of points just to be able to clear trash. I don't know where the damage bonus% goes but it doesn't seem to increase damage that much. Actually, getting rid of the magic pierce and having the DR scale a little might make it work. That, or giving damage to the nados. We D3 now? Erm. |

It's already that way... because 1.41 made it a requirement to use the most powerful builds to progress. 3: Have you played the current live patch? If you don't want boss damage reduced, melee survival increased and synergy bonuses boosted on 99% of the less played builds then stick with 1.41c by all means. It's not like you needed a broken character to progress or anything right? Killing act 5 hell bosses in less than 10 seconds with no curses, lifebuffs using jade talons is not balanced and hardly promoting build versatility Quote: Also one more change request.

PS: i dont want bosses' damage reduced!!! Yes, and our HC team made it to the same point with an assassin (before blades were broken), a sorceress, and a bowzon in the group. They do what they are supposed to do: deal damage. Our barbs damage is complete garbage compared to everyone else because he is built to tank. Could we have done it without a barb and druid for lifebuffs? No, but to fix that, it means mostly removing party lifebuffs. That also means killing enemy damage. That also means nerfing all summons. That also means nerfing all items. That also means buffing the builds that were strong party support so they do enough damage so people don't just roll the highest damage build because party support isn't required. Want to take a guess how long all that would take to balance and test? Hint: it's so long that you would be playing the current patch for a full season with no adjustments. AGAIN: This isn't a major balance update. It's bug fixes and SLIGHT balance adjustments. It's more to even things out than create a bigger gap and I'm getting tired of repeating that in every post. The core of the patch is mostly unchanged. Ps. Bosses tend to not do much accumulative damage over 20 seconds, and by then, blades have killed them. Try killing the council completely without blades.

Update: redownload the second link in the op fixed rw's with wrong auras WW wind animation changed to show radius of the buff rather than enemy debuff radius gale force now adds flat additional magic damage and crit chance battle command increases shout duration by 10 seconds per level (totals 6 minutes at level 24, or 10 minutes at level 48) stuns nova now deals 1/4 damage to surrounding enemies. Initial target takes 3/4 damage from main hit, so 100% to main target only I checked tals ammy, all seems fine. Hoto oak charges increased to level 8 sorc masteries gain 1% absorb to respective element per hard point sorc masteries now grant all mastery to the other 2 elements, at 50% of the strength of the mastery sillfor that element If you have maxed cold mast, you get the bonus you would get from fire mastery/2 for fire also If you add a point to the other masteries, the bonus is disabled for that element. That's the last main set of changes. The rest will be tweaks and adjustments. |

They could already reduce enemy damage with battlecry. Battlecry was nerfed because it's already a synergy for warcry. blade of arreat was buffed because it's not a synergy and it has no synergies so it needs to be worth the points. We can work more on specific builds balance another time. The most important thing at the min is making sure nothing is killing bosses at a grossly high speed, and things like that. Can we get some thorough testing on the skills that got synergy buffs, and take a look at sorc to see if you can cobble together 2 element builds (1 main, 1 sub)? |

K, I don't see anything wrong with it at all, jav is listed as an itemtype, along with miss. I'll add thro too maybe that'll sort it out. couple other quick changes: frozen orb was revieving no synergy from mastery. removed the description. Total synergy is still 40% higher than it was when it had 2 synergies as it got a 2% per point buff, and the original synergies were 2 @ 5% each icebolt synergy from cold mastery moved to chilling armor. energy shield gives 10% mana +1% mana per level since you can't max TK and keep es absorb % low to spread the damage over both bulbs any more. You need to go full energy or it gets popped like a boil and elemental damage just shreds it. OP link updated |

I deleted and rewrote this post 5 times. I don't feel like magic WW is going to work. The only thing you get from maxing WW is magic pierce which, by itself, is absolutely 100% useless. The only thing you get from maxing berserk is 20% damage conversion which doesn't do much unless you max WW and gale force. Giving crit chance is pointless if WW isn't going to do much physical damage, as maxing WW gives less damage bonus than maxing weapon mastery. Why max galeforce if I can max weapon mastery? If I would ignore weapon damage and simply get magic damage on my weapon to benefit from the pierce I'd get, why would Gale force bother giving crit chance? Why spend 20 points in WW for nothing other than AR if I'm going to ignore my physical damage to focus on magic? The 20 points in WW are completely useless if for the synergy to gale force pierce. And also gale force reduces enemy physical resist. This is hair-ripping confusing. |

You need to go full energy or it gets popped like a boil and elemental damage just shreds it. OP link updated You've effectively killed the icebolt/frozen orb build with those changes. I made one and really enjoyed it (other than early game... ice bolt does nothing until it gets its synergies and there's no good AOE on it). Having cold mastery as its synergy made it a 60 point build and something that was nice to couple with something else (like energy shield or FA or other cold skills). Changing it to an 80 point build just cripples its versatility and there goes everyone making blizzard sorcs again. I propose either just making orb and ice bolt the only synergies to each other and keeping the end damage the same as it currently is in the 1.41c (aka, frozen orb would be an 80% synergy to ice bolt, icebolt would be a 20% synergy to orb) or reverting the synergy back onto cold mastery. Everyone throws around a lot of stuff willy nilly with no testing, and it's just going to damage builds that were completely viable. The energy shield buff won't help. 30-40% maximum mana is NOTHING compared to what gear gets, battle orders, etc. That's basically one boot craft or sojs worth of max% mana. The problem was two fold: - With big damages, Energy shield became near useless because one hit would obliterate the bulb (since that doesn't get any benefit of DR% or resists). - Everything was balanced with bigger life bulbs. HP per vitality values were pumped up, but mana per energy wasn't. As someone with an energy shield (max energy, base vit, base strength) frozen orb/ice bolt sorceress on the current realm, I know for sure these changes are just going to completely cripple the build. Please revert them back, or I propose the following: - Make mastery synergy for orb actually work. OR Remove the mastery synergy and change the synergies to be just icebolt as 20% per point to orb, and orb 80% synergy to ice bolt - Orb needs to be earlier in the skill progression. Level 36 is absolutely too late for someone to get decent damage and AOE. Currently, maxed icebolt with +6 skills (skill level 26) before the synergies kick in does absolute shit damage (150 or less), which can't even keep up in act 1 normal. I propose switching the spots of blizzard and frozen orb. That gives the frozen orb build an earlier time to actually be useful, instead of waiting until middle act 3 to start being something other than a deadweight. The blizzard tree already has multiple skills and synergies throughout the entire game to be viable for both trash (glacial AOE and freeze) and boss killing. Changing the synergy to some random armor skill won't work unless its Frozen Armor. The other two armors are pretty useless if youre not specifically in the frost nova/armors build. In regards to Energy Shield, I'm not sure how to exactly fix it in the current patch situation, since one big hit even in the later stages of normal completely empties my 6k mana bulb (again, this is a level 60+ sorceress with every single stat point into energy). You would need a couple of things before it becomes useful again. Something along the lines of a buff of 2-3 extra mana per energy point on sorceresses along with maybe a bigger reduction per hard point into energy shield. Currently, maxing energy shield (used to be TK) makes mana bulb take 75% of the original damage. Again, since mana bulb doesn't take resistances or dr% into account, almost every hit in nightmare will just blank the bulb. I think it could use a 50-60% reduction instead. |

I'm trying to figure out how this could possibly work out, and everything seems to clash with each other. Why crit chance if I'm going to do magic damage? Why increase a skill damage and AR if I'm going magic damage? Why remove physical resist if I'm going magic damage? This isn't QQ. This is me giving my opinion. Your post however, is QQ. WW against packs of mobs was pitiful, especially compared to how good stun is. WW is a mobile zeal. Since its so hardcoded, its apparently impossible to add a nova to the skill like stun. The idea of getting a bonus from killing mobs with WW is a nice one. I'm just not sure putting magic damage in the equation is such a good idea. The original issue was that the damage gale force was giving was very low. It could have been buffed, or the damage scaling on WW could have been increased or something else. If gale force was modified to promote a 50-50 physical magic WW barb, I could see that working. Right now it seems to only promote going magic. Editing this when I figure out the rest of this post. I believe the problem is berserk. Berserk converting phys to magic is probably the problem in this equation. I don't see why a maxed gale force couldn't convert 50% of WW's damage to magical without the need for berserk. Say, max WW, get the pierce, kill stuff, WW becomes 50% magic, shred the crap out of trash with it, the crit you get becomes useful. That would make WW a 60 points build. Wep mastery, WW and gale force. You'd have enough point to max at least increased stamina and get an average BO with that. |

Stun needs a nerf, I agree with Rages change to it. WW is an amazing damage and mobility skill versus bosses. It lets you hit at 4 FPA and move out of harmful situations while doing damage at the same time. Why does it need to be an amazing trash killing spell too? That is like giving Multiple Shot arrows the ability to track and hit targets like GA. It is over kill. Not every skill needs to good in every situation. Just leave WW as it is. |

I think the original WW was perfectly fine as well. It does perfectly fine for trash honestly. And it's best qualities are that it hits twice as fast as any other barb melee skill and it's a damage & mobility skill. |

Not every skill needs to be the best for every job. Stun needs a nerf, I agree with Rages change to it. WW is an amazing damage and mobility skill versus bosses. It lets you hit at 4 FPA and move out of harmful situations while doing damage at the same time. Why does it need to be an amazing trash killing spell too? That is like giving Multiple Shot arrows the ability to track and hit targets like GA. It is over kill. Not every skill needs to good in every situation. Just leave WW as it is. Then what should it be exactly? A boss killer or a trash killer? Going melee against a boss with that many attacks per second destroys you with counters, it isn't even funny. If you're going with a shield for defense so you don't explode, your damage is going to be negligible. If you go two handed without absorb (stupid thing to do), you explode. |

I made one and really enjoyed it (other than early game... ice bolt does nothing until it gets its synergies and there's no good AOE on it). Having cold mastery as its synergy made it a 60 point build and something that was nice to couple with something else (like energy shield or FA or other cold skills). Changing it to an 80 point build just cripples its versatility and there goes everyone making blizzard sorcs again. every sorc build is at least an 80 pointer if you include mastery. You can max bolt, orb, chilling (gives 10% DR to the build) + mastery and you have 30ish points left to spend on ES/FA or 2 skills from another element. I propose either just making orb and ice bolt the only synergies to each other and keeping the end damage the same as it currently is in the 1.41c (aka, frozen orb would be an 80% synergy to ice bolt, icebolt would be a 20% synergy to orb) or reverting the synergy back onto cold mastery. Everyone throws around a lot of stuff willy nilly with no testing, and it's just going to damage builds that were completely viable. orb had no synergy from mastery.The only synergy it was receiving was from ice bolt. So it's getting another 40% synergy bonus after I increased its synergy by 2% per point. Bolt got another 4% per point, so 160% synergy bonus spread over 2 skills. Seems like a fair trade off. The energy shield buff won't help. 30-40% maximum mana is NOTHING compared to what gear gets, battle orders, etc. That's basically one boot craft or sojs worth of max% mana. The problem was two fold: - With big damages, Energy shield became near useless because one hit would obliterate the bulb (since that doesn't get any benefit of DR% or resists). - Everything was balanced with bigger life bulbs. HP per vitality values were pumped up, but mana per energy wasn't. At some point the synergy was moved to ES itself, so to get the 25% resistance on it, you also increase how much damage its absorbing, so you cant spread it over 2 bulbs. It ruined how I used to use ES (max tk, 1 ES with 50/50 hp/mana). 40% is still ~1.5k extra mana, and sorcs get the same mana/energy as barbs get hp/vit As someone with an energy shield (max energy, base vit, base strength) frozen orb/ice bolt sorceress on the current realm, I know for sure these changes are just going to completely cripple the build. Please revert them back, or I propose the following: - Make mastery synergy for orb actually work. OR Remove the mastery synergy and change the synergies to be just icebolt as 20% per point to orb, and orb 80% synergy to ice bolt - Orb needs to be earlier in the skill progression. Level 36 is absolutely too late for someone to get decent damage and AOE. Currently, maxed icebolt with +6 skills (skill level 26) before the synergies kick in does absolute shit damage (150 or less), which can't even keep up in act 1 normal. I propose switching the spots of blizzard and frozen orb. That gives the frozen orb build an earlier time to actually be useful, instead of waiting until middle act 3 to start being something other than a deadweight. The blizzard tree already has multiple skills and synergies throughout the entire game to be viable for both trash (glacial AOE and freeze) and boss killing. I'll switch orb, but orb will get its level 1 damage reduced slightly and blizz Changing the synergy to some random armor skill won't work unless its Frozen Armor. The other two armors are pretty useless if youre not specifically in the frost nova/armors build. 10%DR > frozen armor vs current enemy damage In regards to Energy Shield, I'm not sure how to exactly fix it in the current patch situation, since one big hit even in the later stages of normal completely empties my 6k mana bulb (again, this is a level 60+ sorceress with every single stat point into energy). You would need a couple of things before it becomes useful again. Something along the lines of a buff of 2-3 extra mana per energy point on sorceresses along with maybe a bigger reduction per hard point into energy shield. Currently, maxing energy shield (used to be TK) makes mana bulb take 75% of the original damage. Again, since mana bulb doesn't take resistances or dr% into account, almost every hit in nightmare will just blank the bulb. I think it could use a 50-60% reduction instead. I'll double the resistance of ES per hard point, capping at 50% resist Replies in blue,get back to me |

Riem821 wrote: Mrawskrad wrote: WW is fine as it was. Changing things that don't need to be changed cause QQ as seen above. I'm trying to figure out how this could possibly work out, and everything seems to clash with each other. Why crit chance if I'm going to do magic damage? Why increase a skill damage and AR if I'm going magic damage? Why remove physical resist if I'm going magic damage? This isn't QQ. This is me giving my opinion. Your post however, is QQ. WW against packs of mobs was pitiful, especially compared to how good stun is. WW is a mobile zeal. Since its so hardcoded, its apparently impossible to add a nova to the skill like stun. The idea of getting a bonus from killing mobs with WW is a nice one. I'm just not sure putting magic damage in the equation is such a good idea. The original issue was that the damage gale force was giving was very low. It could have been buffed, or the damage scaling on WW could have been increased or something else. That was because it was skill ED% and skill ed is completely worthless until you get a really high base damage weapon. If you add too much so it'smaking a big impact on a low damage weapon, then it becomes OP once you get an eth war pike or something similar. If gale force was modified to promote a 50-50 physical magic WW barb, I could see that working. Right now it seems to only promote going magic. It promoted both, you got crit chance (increasing physical damage to 1.6x normal) effective guaranteed crit on the magic conversion (-100 res) and flat magic damage like sanctuary aura Editing this when I figure out the rest of this post. I believe the problem is berserk. Berserk converting phys to magic is probably the problem in this equation. I don't see why a maxed gale force couldn't convert 50% of WW's damage to magical without the need for berserk. So you could choose between higher chance of -enemy phys res + slow + not losing 20% attack damage to magic, and gaining crit chance. Or going heavy magic damage so you can switch to a lower physical damage, high pierce/speed weapon and kill trash with the additional flat magic damage in undead + IM areas. Max gale + WW only = you have higher chance of getting the buff per kill, higher crit chance and -5% enemy dr Max zerk and gale = 20% less physical damage to gain a substantial magic damage buff Max all 3 = 20% less phys damage, but the 20% conversion deals 1.5 to 2x damage due to pierce on WW, so attack damage is 1.15 to 1.2x higher. More AR to hit more often, high chance of gale triggering, and decent flat additional magic damage. Say, max WW, get the pierce, kill stuff, WW becomes 50% magic, shred the crap out of trash with it, the crit you get becomes useful. It was already useful because you still had either 100% or 80% hysical damage That would make WW a 60 points build. Wep mastery, WW and gale force. You'd have enough point to max at least increased stamina and get an average BO with that. The damage boost was supposed to come with a choice to make, not ust the standard barb practice of max this this this and this and there's not really anything else worth maxing so nothing to choose between. Replies in blue, but it's already switched back and i'm not going back and forth. Just seemed like a unique mechanic that you won't see anywhere else. |

i really think gale forec is an interesting idea, but i have further thinking about it. I think gale force would be used against bosses, otherwise it is nothing for just against trash. but the skill would be change like: 1 gale force is a skill and use ww to attack; 2 physical damage reduced to 50%; 3 when striking, all targets get slow down 30%(more or less, but -50 % is too low), no physical res reduced; 4 can drink potions druing attack; 5 previous synergy is ok. i think the change would make melee barb more interesting to play. in additon, i think the range of war cry should be increase a little bit, because the damage of monsters increase a lat. |

Great Mod and absolutely can't wait to get started on a character I'll have for a while after the patch. Thanks

That I don't know. I'm just waiting for the green light to pack it all up and send it to the people who deal with that side of things. Edit: I'll adjust the music so it's roughly as it should be. If any of it is wrong it can be changed clientside later. |

yea we have the OK from duff to reset if need be with 1.41D. i understand that the changes made require a reset? if we wanted to could give it more time and make the reset more-so worthwhile. if everything is tested and ready to go then we can proceed though. |

I'd be all for waiting another week and a half if it means we could balance a few more things, especially end-game. If nothing is going to be added might as well just put it out. Most people are not going to be looking for bugs regardless of what happens. |

Remember this is the very last patch for quite a while so now is the time if you want something new to explore. Can we look at blessed hammer animation? It is awkward to kill things with it, instead of being spaces between the hammers, can the hammers have a trail behind it that cause damage also? In tight corners and corridors its annoying to hit monsters with. Are Frenzy barbs going to be viable tanks at all in new patch? Will druids be able to tank as well as the paladin and barb? Maybe feral can help them to tank to a closer level with barbs? I also think blade sentinel should expand outward in a circular motion. If all it does is go straight its a slow blade fury. It would be better for trash, killing since blade shield area of effect is small. |

Changes are pretty much finished, I just started uploading patches. As far as tanking goes, as I didn't have time to go through every monster and adjust everything to be perfectly manageable (just blanket nerfs to mobs) I have done the following, (for this patch only). 1: max res is capped at 85. There are a few sources of + all max res. 1 source is the return tome. After completing each of the 3 new level restricted dungeons, you get a token that will add 2% max res for each difficulty (+6% max res when finished). There is also a unique ring that gives 4%, but it's level 95 and only drops from the level 90-94 restricted dungeon boss. 6% max res means you take ~22% less elemental damage, hopefully enough so you don't get 1 shot and can make use of absorb %. (The max res should be removed when monsters are rebalanced next patch) 2: DR% caps at 60%. 10% more DR = 20% less damage taken than when you had 50%. 3: Monster hp table for 1-4 players has been reduced by 50, so 250, 250, 250, 300 etc. instead of 300, 300, 300, 300 etc. I have both d2se and non dse cores uploaded, + the LITE version. Full will have to wait until tomorrow. |

I think that not allowing level 36 characters to do the challenges isn't fair toward some builds. I tried using the return tome just to go back to town, it didn't work. I also tried doing the first challenge, couldn't teleport. Edit3: I use D2SE |

Find a friend, or do what we know people are gonna do and make a character that will sit at the max level for each challenge to pull the other chars through. Each one is designed so you need co-ordination and teamwork though rather than brute force, even an underpowered build can kite adds or draw fire from certain mobs so the others can focus on the boss. Run D2ModSetup (if it asks to remove click yes then run it again) |

I'll try bumping him down a few levels and see how it goes. Edit: got a new tome from Baphomet, dropped to level 33. Even after using a map from akara, I'm only warping to the act 1 camp. Challenge isn't working so far. And yes, I'm using it within the 10 seconds. |

That's not the boss, it's part of the mechanic, the boss is around the corner, pull him to the orb. Ps. you might wanna tcp/ip these as they are designed so 1-2 people do 1 thing and 1-2 do another. So for soulstealer, 1 group would deal with adds and draw fire from the orb, while the other group deals with the boss. |

I tried doing the nightmare one. Unless I'm doing something horribly wrong, soulstealer doesn't seem to lose his immunities in nightmare. In normal, just bringing him close to the orb of prevention was enough to remove his immunities and make him killable. In nightmare, I have no idea what I need to do to make him killable. |

remember the tome is looking at strength rather than level at the min. Increase your base strength to the appropriate level for the NM trial and it'll take you to the correct map. It's not being removed in NM because you won't be doing soulstealer in NM as its for level 25-35 in norm. |

I did both the Normal and NM ones. I'm confused about where to transmute them I think. Either that or transmuting them doesn't add the resist bonus. I transmuted both in both the cavern the boss was in and in the portal the boss spawns (what is the point of that portal?) Edit: The hell one shit on my hacked barb. |

and make liberal use of stun, knockback, slow, confuse, dim vision or cloak of shadows They don't have much more hp than hell act 4-5 mobs, high res tho, stack pierce. You aren't supposed to kill them all, just fight through them to reach the boss and stick someone on add duty so you can focus on the boss. You can gather a big group and ditch them in big rooms to create small safe zones. Edit: they are killable, they just spawn a new mob 15 seconds later. pull from ahead to behind you > destroy as many as possible > move to clearing before they repop. |

No it's just to spread a stat throughout the room that is checked for the cube recipe. If that stat isn't on you, the cube recipe fails. Because cubemain can only check 1 stat at a time to see if a recipe is valid, I make 4 recipes, with 3 of them being dummy recipes that return the tome without the bonuses. There's 4 recipes per upgrade First: is level below required level? if yes, return the item without adding any bonuses second: is level above required level? if yes return the item without adding bonuses third: is challenge complete stat on the character? if no, return the item with no bonuses fourth: has the item already been upgraded with this item? if no, add bonuses, if yes, do nothing I also need to add level reqs to it, i forgot. adding that now, heres a data folder with fixed orb spawn. http://www.speedyshare.com/W9TuP/download/data.exe Edit: Made the 3 "fail safe" recipes for each upgrade return the scroll too rather than consume it so it's obvious the recipe failed, and made it increase level req to the minimum level required for each upgrade. So norm trial bonus sets it to level 25 req, norm +nm = level 75, etc. |

I took a quick look at boss physical damage and it needed to change badly. Some bosses were doing 4000% to 6000% the damage of a monster of equivalent level. So a mod with 300 base damage in monlvl.txt using a 6000% multiplier in monstats.txt = 18300 per physical hit. Way too high. I lowered all those excessive %'s back down to around double the values of 1.3g for bosses. Trash mobs remain untouched. Current version had physical damage from some bosses up to 10 times higher than 1.3g. Grab the data folder in the op (after you get the core and main patch |

Anyone who is testing please check boss damage at appropriate level/hp values. Edit: no the 6000% multiplier is a 1.41 issue. It varies between 2000% (21 times the damage of regular mob) to 6000% (61 times the damage of a regular mob) Edit2: I'm looking for bosses who do too little damage, not bosses who do too much damage. I don't have time to get this absolutely perfect at the minute, so too high will have to do, but too low isn't acceptable. |

5% crit chance, so 1 in 20. 60% DR should be enough to prevent a 1 shot with crit too. If not, well, bummer. I'm kinda nervous adjusting stuff from 4000-6000 down to 900-1000 as it stands. That's WAAAAAY more of a reduction to something than I'm comfortable making already. I usually deal in 5-10% adjustments, not 70-80% at a time. |

Download the core > patch > data folder (delete existing data folder) in the OP. The data folder in the OP only has the files that have changed since the patch linked in the OP. |

I've done this and both the return tome and the akara thing dont work. I consume the akara scroll, and then click the return tome to find nothing happens. The return tome is not working either by itself to return me to town. |

Run D2ModSetup, new code edits introduced and be sure you get the core and main linked patch in the OP. The data folder only has bug fixes found in the last day or 2. Most of it is in the patch. |

Can you take a look at HolyFreeze? It seems the pulse damage doesn't show on the skill description, only in the LCS. |

The other 2 Holy auras show much much pulse damage they do. Why is Holy freeze the only one that doesn't? On top of that, the level 20 pulse damage of holy fire and holy freeze are about 20% of what holy shock does at 20. Is it me or thats a really huge gap? |

pulse damage added to description. Damage is higher at level 20 because there is a 22 level gap between fire/shock and shock has 1 minimum damage. Add the min and max then /2 for each skill. There is also better gear catered towards fire/cold holy auras, and better ways to spread that damage (exploding/freezing arrows) |

Hi, i was testing out F orb / fwall build on tcp//ip this morning, and it resulted that forb cant even kill trash fast enough on a5 hell to stay alive , i was using self oak from wisp and bo from barb wit 5x + skill in inv like if i add the skill charm from hell boss and inv was full of 20life+15mana sc and 1x 10% increase mana and life sc, i add 100 pierce to cold. and mastery + synergies to f orb was all maxed. probly some dmg should be added to the skill if we want this to be at least a trash killing skill end game .

Instead of buffing every skill, the HP/Resistances of Monsters should be toned down again to slighty buffed 1.3 values. |

Well considering that the game has been unplayable for 4 days and nobody cares enough to add more hosts or reset, I'd say hoping for a new patch is a little far-fetched. Looks like this mod is done. |

I should have just hosted a gameserver and new realm for testing little late now though. |

If something goes wrong, will the blame be put on the people who didn't bother helping to test or will it be put on someone else I wonder?

i would appreciate it a great deal if some folks just did a boost run thru norm to make sure nothing is busted. u can use a lvl 99 char with all the best gear. the point is to make sure there aren't broken portals, or busted quests, or just things way out of place. as long as nothing is broken, the final version can be sent to duff and the reset can be had soon after. |

Get ready to be reminded a tremendous amount of the coming weeks.  But honestly, got a lot of interesting things put in to this one, plus some fun stuff from the last one. Hopefully easing back on a few damage issues will help some. Cheers to everyone that worked on both! |
