Champs are the only thing that slow people down a little but not enough IMO, sorcs deal with champs in no time if done right. If its taking people 10 mins as they claim to take down a pack of champs then they are under prepared, under equiped and underleveled for the area, simple as that. Even still a level 70 sorc can kill a pack of champ zerkers in hell in under 20 seconds.
Buff izzy more, he still deals terrible damage, make his ele novas hurt more, you get +2 SKILLS for killing this guy, make it harder please, giving him dflight was useless as he deals such terrible damage he is still no threat. Chimera is still weak sauce, give him a random holy aura and give his shaman friends conviction.
Please dont remove any bosses. Please dont make things so much easier. Please dont ruin this mod. These things are what caught my eye and many others too. This is one of the harder mods out there, when people are crying about strugling for 10 mins against trash (LMAO) thats due more to the players lack of tactics / just being bad. Since i started this mod, it has steadily got a little harder each season, (new areas/bosses etc) don't start going backwards now. Most of the other mods are a total joke, a friend of mine and I just had a go at median xl. finished hell baal after around 2 days, short maps make it a piss take. When we finished it there was no sence of "wow we done it, that was tough" like we got when we finished hell baal this season here. Infact our exact words were "that was unspectacular" "ya nothing like HU". Dont change to much, reducing it to 2 player spawn will help alot with the nOObs who cant cope with champ packs.
you fail to read the points that people make. so i will repeat my point:
there is nothing hard in having a high life monster that doesnt hurt. its actually pointless. the mariliths are fine i guess, but other champ high life monsters, especially the beserkers, dont do anything. my barb was sitting there tanking 3 of them solo (and hes my first character and highest character... hes not very well built and has pretty crappy gear). id rather nerf their life and make them more dangerous in terms of damage. but i had to sit there for almost 15 minutes killing the 3, albeit it was by myself and i am a melee character, but i think its a bit ridiculous. its not fun that they have that much life but barely scratch even casters.
for the record, im not a "i want this easier mod" kinda guy, its in fact too easy still. ive played a lot of other mods before (most easier than this one except one ive played), and i like this one for a lot of reasons, but i dont think making it lengthy in some ways makes it difficult. keep it lengthy on the bosses, trash doesnt need to be that lengthy. a bit of other balance issues need to be looked at (like how a necro's curses are pretty vital to any party or else the time it takes to complete bosses and such becomes a lot longer, how CB is such an overbearing stat needed for pretty much any melee, etc.). its mostly good, but some things like the stuff mentioned above is a turn off.
on a side note, median xl isnt really meant for the actual game... its pretty simple to do that in one day and alone. its meant for the uber quests and side challenges. but yea, either way its very easy, and its also meant to be a single player game. any extra party members makes it a joke.
