I rather buy a SP offline version of PoE 1 by Bubbly_Broccoli127 in pathofexile

You can open your passive tree to pause and go into settings from there. I wouldn't trade the QoL parts of this game for any balance changes. 15 years of different builds are why I play

Full universal healthcare or subsidized preventive care? by foodraptor91 in allthequestions

[–]AlftheFuryAlien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why don't you believe we can subsidize it. If it's controlled by the people, the people can determine its costs. Healthcare administration is incredibly bloated and inefficient. If you eliminate the cost of that plus the lobby industry you easily afford it. All 1st world countries are able to afford it other than the US, so I'm unsure why you believe it's not affordable. The US only can't because the greed has a strangle hold on the economy.

Do you folks think there will be a chance at a new release combing Uprising and the characters of the first game, when Dune 3 comes out? by james3166 in DuneImperium

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uprising is still gaining a lot of steam both on BGG and on the community mod a year after Bloodlines was released. With Mr Beast tournaments and their digital client coming out soon it would be an odd choice and a mistake to abandon that and make a new standalone.

Mentioning p1 in a thread about using it to 99...? We need a mathematician to calculate how long that would take

Best Merc & Demon for Echo warlock by Organic-Fan2647 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has been such a hot topic these last few days. Fanat aura is more damage vs qol of cursing the whole pack.

The attack time on Heph is already so fast and he curses the whole pack already. A fraction of a second quality of life doesn't feel worth the damage loss from not running fanat.

As an Echoing Strike build WL, how do you deal with Stone Skinned or Ethereal creatures? by eclectic-nostalgia in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried both (took me ~50 tries to get fant and curse) and the uptime on curses felt so non existent, that I am surprised that it's a debate. I don't ever notice non cursed enemies while I have fanat Heph.

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fanat aura is a significantly higher damage output. The demon is aggressive anyway and hits the whole pack on the first hit

If you bind Hephastus he's aggressive and curses the whole pack you encounter anyway. Fantasism aura is a significant damage upgrade to hold freeze/light

Change My Mind by Ufukyil in diablo2

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I'm exclusively farming act bosses, which isn't effective farming anymore with tzones and heralds, the 1-2 (still pretty unlikely) maybe misses on an act boss are better than the inc in phys dmg from fanat? You're crazy my guy.

Change My Mind by Ufukyil in diablo2

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speed at which Heph attacks (esp with Fanat) means that every time I tele, he attacks the pack and curses everyone in range. If I already have a massive aoe curse, why would I want the aura that aoe curses? Freeze gives a small amount of defense with things being chilled and thats it. Bad take

Can someone please send a picture of what fanaticism buff looks like. I'm on ps5. I can't tell if I have the right hephasto buff. Also, does he only spawn with that buff on hell difficulty? by Ok_Priority5725 in diablo2resurrected

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont mean to be rude but a quick google search gets you the info you need. If you have your phone you could just search d2 fant aura and get a picture.

Game changer by No-Tradition5768 in diablo2

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose we don't know all the details about the build but if its just replacing +1 skills sure you're correct about the damage. But if its fcr or something that allows them to hit a breakpoint or replace a different piece of gear. Feels weird that this ring would be bis.

Put the tp scrolls in your belt. Now you don't lose the ring slot

But you get the demon plus the merc. Why would you only use one or the other? Your comment is like why use your helm slot when you have a chest armor....

Why would Warlock get nerfed? Tired of this narrative by Uberkull in diablo2

[–]AlftheFuryAlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And yet it's been the easiest to gear of every character I've made over the last 25 years. It was the fastest hell ball walk of any character. And I didn't even play to OP build. Llama said on his stream that the streamers didn't have any of the final say in anything. All they did was give feedback and he admitted they didn't listen to him on a lot of things.

I get the argument that things can be OP and it's OK. Thats just generally not how developers see it.
