Diablo 2: The Brother (And Sister)hood of EoFF

[Tavrobel]

Druids got justice in either version. I'll pretty much be on all day.

Also, now that we are constructing a Median section of the DII adventures, I'll probably need people to submit information; at the very least, accounts.

[Giga Guess]

Hey Tav, next time we're both on at the same time, d'you mind if I get the balance of the Tal set? Thanks!

[Tavrobel]

Balance?

EDIT: I'm also on regular right now, I'm taking a short break from playing Median.

[Giga Guess]

The Amulet and the Armor.

[Tavrobel]

Well, then, get on.

[Khaotic]

Not really, imo, sorc is the worst class now. They don't have any good mass killing spells unlike in D2 original. By the time you get high level MP is practically useless, and with Arcane Torren, sorcs don't WANT mp.

You are kidding me right? There's Chain Lightning that automatically targets every monsters on the screen, Apocalypse which does pretty much the same thing, Mana Sweep which not only hits every target but increases it's damage depending on how much mana you have lost, as well as Arcane Torrent, which increases in damage depending on how much MP you have compared to your max. So a sorc with a difference of 100 (say 10 mana when your max is 110) will do less damage than a sorc with a difference of 4000 (if you have 2000 mana when your max is 6000). Where you got this idea that they are useless is beyond me.

Where did you read that I said they were useless..? And incase you missed it, I already said "sorcs who use arcane torrent won't WANT mp" so clearly I already know what it does.

Go ahead, pump energy completely, have fun spamming supernova 10 times to get your mp down low, and then switching to torrent simply to clear a room.

Alright, so, you're claiming a spell that steals some of your mana back is useful when the damage is based off your total lost mp.. hmm.. sweet, I can use it once and then I need to empty my mp again, DEFINATELY a frozen orb there! Oh, did I mention it has a spell timer, too?

Chain lightning..? There isn't even a spell called that and yet you're trying to debate something with me. Atleast get the correct name next time, I'll assume you were talking about Lightning CASCADE.

Maxx, I said GOOD mass killing spells, not just any. Sorc should be a class that walks into a room, and everything simply falls down, in normal that is. They suffer during hell, though, and need good equip to make up for it.

Again, I never once said they were "useless" I said they were probably the weakest class. Try proving me wrong.

Barb got their nerfed, Snake Stance used to be incredibly overpowered, but even without it, they still manage to do loads of damage. Fortress is amazing, and can clear rooms better than a sorc can, and that's just a skill you place down, not to mention his summons, and then his raw power to destroy.

Assassin can simply own everything, first off, they got blink, this is a spell that TELEPORTS you, at level 1. Though, not spammable, its still highly useful, did I mention it stuns everything around you in a small radius when you teleport to your location? Now, that's one skill, let's get into poison, they can do roughly 50k damage per second with their poison. You're thinking "yeah, well, if you're fighting poison immune, you're dead" not.. exactly, they have Death Blossom, it makes your melee hits shoot out an arc of fire, dealing fire damage to nearby enemies, and believe me, its quite powerful, especially if you have high IAS. Let's not even mention its a synergy for poison stuff, so its not even being wasted for "what if" situations. Premeditation.. Perfect Being.. do I even need to discuss these? Yeah.. let's lower all of our delay spells/skills so we can use them faster, I mean, who wants to be able to perma-stun a crowd of monsters with blink? I mean, I know I wouldn't! And pfft, who wants to prevent all damage by 65+%? Useless.


That's enough for Sin, let's move onto druid.

First off, their elemental stuff is simply better than Sorc, admit it or not. Charms? Let's see.. brambles.. is just amazing. Druids are the kings of attribute challenges.

Paladin, personally, I don't think the unholy is that great, but holy is really nice. Retaliate alone makes them insanely strong.

Necromancer, this class has been dumbed down so much it's not even funny, they're practicly a necro who summons demons, and not undead. So, you're trying to kill diablo and his brothers/sisters to save the world, and yet you're summoning demons yourself, makes sense to me. They've practicing became a support class, both to their minions and other players, both totems and support skills, they're simply really powerful, not in terms of raw damage, but their supporting options.

This is why I said Sorc is probably the worst, they simply don't have any reason to be there, they don't do as much damage as they should, and the only good thing they can do is heal 100% hp in 1 second.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Alright, that's it. Khaotic, you've pushed me over the edge. I'm taking a week off EoFF because I'm actually on the verge of saying something that will get me banned.

[Khaotic]

uhh..? Okay? Can't believe something I said about diablo made someone delete their sig/avatar, and leave a forum for a week. Your loss.

[Tavrobel]

I think he likes his Sorceresses.

[Nominus Experse]

It was pretty fun to kill each wave of Baal's minions in one hit with Cataclysm; however, it is rather frustrating to have to switch skills so very rapidly once in Nightmare Difficulty - particularly when there seems to be more magic immunes than physicals. Some of the enemies are difficult to differentiate as they have the same graphic but different names: which in turn leads to different sets of immunities.

And what happened to the 15k dmg era of the Sorc?


I've tried the Necro and Sorc, so I think I'll give the Assassin and Barb a try now.

When I finally decide which one I like, I'll submit some information.



SMURFING INFERNAL MACHINE! WHY WON'T YOU DIE!

[Tavrobel]

Because you touch yourself at night.

[Giga Guess]

Okay, so I just learned about "soundchaosdebug."

Is it wrong that I wanna start telling newbies that it's some uber cheat?

[Tavrobel]

Yes, it is. NEVER tell newbies ANYTHING.

[Giga Guess]

Hey, be nice...having evil thoughts is a far cry from acting on them.

[Tavrobel]

Newbies will take you seriously, and then they will tell other people without actually trying it. When peole do try it for themselves, or they already know what it is, they will try to stop this, and then the newbies will get angry and try to commit e-venge or e-harakiri, which in turn, will flood B.net with newbs of all sorts, and their stupid, asshat friends, which in turn, will cause my blood pressure to rise with having to deal with them.
