Hello fellaz, i'm a new HU player and i'm currently playing the 1.6c solo version, playing for 5 days and i'm still in act 5 normal, lol, progressing somewhat slow, at lvl 58 with throw barb, struggling to kill the monsters from worldstone.
So, the question is, what's the place / txt that i need to edit to reduce the damage of bosses in my hirelings?
My guess is that i need Mpq editor to open Patch_D2.mpq inside the mods folder and edit some txt file? I tried to look further, but failed to find the value for boss dmg to hirelings.
Keep in mind that i'm familiar with scripts and edditing in general, i work as a DBA, but i've never looked into d2 edditing, so i'm kinda "lost" here.
My reason for the change:
Right now, hirelings seens pretty useless in this mod, my hireling can't even survive a single attack, actually, he can't even attack once, and he's with 75 all res, etc... there's no point of giving runewords to your hirelings or using another items that would slow down bosses and buffs me if he dies with a single hit without even landing one attack.
I would like to edit it so they can still get around 2-3 shot, making a more strategic use of my potions between me and my hireling, i think the fight would still be hard because i can't teleport back to refill potions, so hirelings will start to be useful, and somewhat a resource drainer. (sometimes i use like 20-40 potions against bosses, and if half of those are used to heal my hireling, it would be a cool negative effect to keep my merc up and boosting me in the fight, and if i screw up and my merc dies, i would have almost no potions to keep fighting)
Currently playing the solo version because i'll need to travel for 20 days, so i'll have just hell unleashed to play with no internet connection, but i would like to make this change before i go, maybe a 3-4x more dmg to hirelings instead of 10? i'll have to do some tests i guess.
Thanks in advance and i'm probably joining with you guys in 1.7 MP after i learn how to play the game and return back home.
P.S. This is the best mod i've played for d2, even better than Median XL, so keep up the good work, been enjoying it a lot, also, sorry for the long post and grammar mistakes, english is not my native language and i'm self taught.
