Diablo 2 - worth it?

[Markus. D]

Also, if you plan on doing any PK, you have to have mods and hacks for it now. I dunno anybody anymore that do legit duels.

Diablo 2 is a game I'll always have a fondness for, and it saddens me to think about how far from grace it has fallen over the years.

Please try it again! !


Lookee! Median 2008 - Diablo 2 Mods by Brother Laz

I stopped playing it because I new update from Vista disallows me to be able to partake in such glorious things ._.

Online community seems fine to me. :/
There should be another EOFF-diablo clan thread.

[Tavrobel]

You mean a second Tavrobel LiveJournal?

I emphatically agree.

[Markus. D]

I shotty not making the thread again D:!...

I have found loads of people online wanting to pvp If I was a higher level then I would be rolling in hostilities.
I also want to point out that I have seen like two amazons in my five hours of online playing are they rubbish or something?

[Markus. D]

Bullocks no!

My Amazong (unequipped with only a most basic Javalin...) Deals over 256k damage with various skills at level 1... (Like Enfilade xD! annnnnd other non Vanilla Diablo skills...).

I'd say Bowazon from Van Diablo is actually quite overwhelming... I suppose you don't see many because... ._. Hammerdin are better?

Amazons seem to only come in the flavour of Javazons due to the ridiculous lightning spell at their disposal. Strafezons are quite fun, but if you happen to have a Hellfire Torch, than the Amazon basically, well... it makes Blizzard's servers hate you and everyone else in the current game so much that it simply ends it.

So basically everyone who plays an Amazon ends up as a Javazon, which is actually quite dull and unoriginal.

The more interesting builds rely completely on equipment (although many other builds rely on equipment) and are still not as effective as the cheaper alternatives.

Or you could play an Amazon that wields a Wand as her weapon like me, which was ridiculous but amusing.

[Markus. D]

The more interesting builds rely completely on equipment (although many other builds rely on equipment) and are still not as effective as the cheaper alternatives.

Additionally, Javazons that use their lightning skills benefit from all aspects of the Infinity runeword (-res, -physical defense), have great AoE, and effortless DPS (eth Titan's), assuming your Torch doesn't drop you. You Shift+Click in a direction, and everything in about a 270 degree arc in front of is dead. How is it 270 degrees? Well, if you play a Javazon, you'd find out.

But these builds are deathly expensive, and often not worth the effort. One of the great tragedies of Diablo II was patch 1.10, which increased Hell difficulty, and introduced Synergies. Great in theory, but in practice, it only reinforced the already strong skills. However, it did lead to the use of Hammers (which are overpowered and imba).

Who else can forget the ballad of the Citrus fruits?

Use a martial arts Assassin like a real man.

[demondude]

Hammerdins are the best class by far.
I also like javazons.

[KoShiatar]

I have an undying love for Sorceresses, even though they just can't go through Hell alone.
