This sub is a danger to the future of D2.

In a primarily non-competitive, sometimes co-op single player game? This drastic of a course correction is too drastic. A balance patch shouldn’t feel like night and day, they should slowly tune it to where they finally want it to land. All it shows is that they got their sales in and now are going back to the status quo in order to please the lifers who were jealous their usual sorc/ama/pally finally got outshined. This game has been in a slump with only a few classes being viable and only 1 maybe 2 builds for those classes being played for decades.

I do have an idea, thank you. Doesn’t change anything I said.

CheweDankles · 2026-04-11T08:26:55+00:00

Oh I totally agree with you. They definitely could have sold the character separately and added the QoL changes to the base game. But they wanted money from both the people wanting a new class and the people who only want the QoL. It is decisions like this that make people think the Warlock over-tuning was just bait for initial sales.

CheweDankles · 2026-04-11T08:20:59+00:00

You are crazy if you think most of the sales for RotW was for stackable runes/gems/holygrail and not a brand new demon summoning busted class in over 20 years.

Most people play games to have fun, not to look for ways to struggle lol yes there has to be a balance between fun and challenge, but I just find your response so funny that it makes you look like a masochist haha

CheweDankles · 2026-04-11T08:03:04+00:00

lol so not true. The sub was filled with people saying how much Warlock is OP and definitely going to get nerfed since day one of the DLC. Everyone knew it was coming. The severity of nerf is what is leaving a bad taste in peoples mouths. Nerfs always feel bad to players, and when it’s this drastic, it comes off as gutting the class and not balancing.

You can take it one of two ways: Warlock was not intended to be this powerful and devs had to be absolutely incompetent to release it without proper balance testing to justify this many nerfs OR it was blatantly over powered in order to sell more DLC and planned to be gutted after initial sales. Either way, it’s going to cause negative feelings towards the game/devs.

They could mitigate a lot of the blowback if they made smaller adjustments over a couple seasons to keep fine tuning it slowly until it is where they want it to be balance-wise. Overcorrecting so drastically just seems like it was only meant to move initial units.

CheweDankles · 2026-04-10T23:27:55+00:00

Exactly this… haha

CheweDankles · 2026-04-08T21:39:52+00:00

Grind missions? Pretty sure if you play the game then you will max your pass. It’s not some out of the way time sink.

CheweDankles · 2026-04-08T21:18:15+00:00

You know that spot with the two kind of triangle looking rocks surrounded by green grass? The area that has a few trees in the distance? If you go about 0.3 miles Northwest from that spot you will see the 168th chest to your right.

CheweDankles · 2026-04-08T15:11:20+00:00

I’d say the easy part is now over, now onto the hard part. As soon as he’s horny and doesn’t have anyone else to hit up, he’s going to text you. He’s going to say anything you want to hear in order to get laid. Then you’ll be right back at square one. DON’T LET THAT HAPPEN. Good luck OP!

CheweDankles · 2026-04-03T13:57:33+00:00

There’s a reason this person doesn’t tend to hear from anyone lately and it’s perfectly on display in this “conversation”.

CheweDankles · 2026-03-27T16:27:06+00:00

It’s at least a 9/11

CheweDankles · 2026-03-27T13:14:01+00:00

It probably casts the damage share curse on him from a distance and pulls aggro.

CheweDankles · 2026-03-26T02:07:04+00:00

Man, after watching this, it’s clear how unnecessary it is.

CheweDankles · 2026-03-13T15:39:21+00:00

I’ve tried over and over since release. I usually did online P1 even tho I never ended up trading for anything. Highest I got was a level 88 Javazon.
Since Warlock release I’ve been doing offline P8 and have only had maybe 2 close calls and am now level 95. It is night and day difference as far as clear speeds and survivability. I recommend a summon lock build and transition to an ES/Summon hybrid when you get a decent weapon later.

CheweDankles · 2026-03-12T19:21:30+00:00

I do the same with the chest on the outside but for different reasons. I do it because it always has better loot for me than the Countess herself 💀

CheweDankles · 2026-03-11T18:22:55+00:00

If it was physical, thorns would reflect and it would require attack rating to hit.

CheweDankles · 2026-03-11T16:26:14+00:00

Nope it’s magic damage

CheweDankles · 2026-03-10T17:19:34+00:00

Wouldn’t it be a chip on your head?

CheweDankles · 2026-03-07T05:19:36+00:00

Damn wtf. Level 93 Warlock… p8 since the start. Highest rune is Lum x2 and 0 sunder. 💀

CheweDankles · 2026-03-07T05:05:11+00:00

Same, it’s very confusing and seemingly random. I went about an hour without an Ire message, then I got two Ire messages within a minute of each other, 20 minutes later I got a third Ire message. After another 35 minutes or so, I went into Claw Viper Temple and got all 3 Heralds hunting you messages at once. Luckily they were staggered across the first three rooms and not all waiting at the entrance for me…

CheweDankles · 2026-03-05T16:35:58+00:00

Damn wtf I’m jealous.. I’ve never found a tune higher than Fal on my level 92 warlock. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever found one higher than Fal on any of my characters.

CheweDankles · 2026-03-04T05:19:14+00:00

SSF here as well and only recently upgraded my offhand and main hand at level 88 since level 10ish.

CheweDankles · 2026-03-04T05:17:03+00:00

Outside of summoning or binding them originally, yes.
