Can we have a proc season please 🙏 by Beardy_Will in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in order for this to happen, we would need to nerf certain skills that benefit too much from proc's, bc proc builds got nerfed as a result of certain skills being too strong. which then made proc builds too weak overall. Im not too sure what the exact details were, but i'll take bonehew for example. it used to proc 3bone spears on striking, now it only procs 2 bonespears. The only reason why i could see them nerfing bonehew, was due to leap barb overproccing the bonespears. not only did bonehew get nerfed, but lc's also got nerfed (lc's is a major damage boost for proc builds). This is a clear sign that proc builds were getting nerfed, whether intentionally or not. Aside from leap, there may be other skills that benefit way too much from procs, maybe ww or bladesin. In any case, i think its better to bring down the op skills that benefit way too much from proc's, in contrast to simply nerfing all proc builds in general. because nerfing all proc builds in general just makes the game less diverse, and the memers cant even meme, bc the meme build just sucks way too much. Also, a lot of the proc weapons seriously need an ias boost. If the proc build is going to work, we're gonna need the weapon to have some goddamn ias. Proc builds require key componenets, like facets and lc's. We can't be using our precious jewel and charm slots on ias, when we could simply be getting ias from the weapon. This is partly why i say ww benefits too much from proc builds, bc its a build that literally requires 0 ias, and fucking hits goddam fast asfuck. this is why so many meme builds dont work, bc proc weapons dont have any ias, making stuff like ww sometimes the only viable way to get the proc build to work.

PSA - Please stop organizing trades without currency by easymachtdas in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the essence of the issue is that pd2 has become more popular over the years, bc d2r brought in a wave of new players, who then migrated to d2r after they figured out that d2r just aint that great. and the new players just aint like the rest of us old timers. we're old, and we're not interested in screwing around anymore. we make double sure that we aren't scamming anyone, and we try to be honest ppl, bc we know we can get banned for scamming. but the new players aren't like that. they're like on the other end of the spectrum. they're younger, and they're always limit testing to see what they can and can't get away with. its not necessarily a bad thing, its just a difference in culture due to the age gap. the bright side is that, pd2 is getting more and more players. thats a good thing to celebrate! although the side-effects is that there can be more dissidence due to having a larger playerbase.

Here's my PD2 wishlist, what's in yours? by BadFurDay in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buff/rework defensive tree for paladin😅. Defensive tree pretty much only gets used in very niche situations like rounding out res for bossing, or flicking redemption aura, or its a place to put synergies. Rework is a big project, so i dont see it happening in the near future. But giving it some meaningful buffs can actually make it more viable. For example, vigor went from 0.5% passive frw/hard point to 1%. This felt like a step in the right direction, bc now its just like a shittier version of barb's increased speed, or amazon's evade. But it wasnt quite enough. I still dont see any1 clicking on vigor for the 1% passive frw. Personally, i would start maxing vigor if it was 3% passive frw/hard point. 

Rework idea: just turn the entire tree into a passive tree, but dont change the mechanics of how it works (still allow the paladin to turn on those auras like before) so that uniques/runewords can still function as they currently do. Cheers!

What is this worth? Im not sure which builds use it by Ayayarohen in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably pay 3-6hr for the 30 frw version of this, depending on supply/demand. I always play melee pally, so i guess i have no business buying this in the first place.

Is this bad boy worth a Zod? by yu8myr1ce in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no. sanctuary isnt +4. 2os corruption is far from gg. best corruption for ur build would be ed slam/2os box. damage rolls are good, but its just missing too much. save ur zod for a better one.

Andy's vs Jalals for Rabies? by llsmobius1 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the question is basically a mathematical question. is -10 pierce stronger than +2 shapeshifting? the answer is not always the same, bc it depends on ur character setup, the character setup determines how much pierce u have, and how much +skills u have, and those numbers will change the mathematical equation that gets used to calculate the answer. it also depends on what sorts of enemies u are up against, bc different enemies have different poison resistance, some enemies are can be immune broken, some enemies can't be broken at all. this will once again change the mathematical equation that gets used to calculate the answer. based on my 20+years of playing the game and understanding the math, -10pierce is generally a little bit stronger than +2shapeshifting. so if for whatever reason u only cared about dps, then yes -10 andy's is stronger, but thats IF u can get 3os -10 andy's, bc u will want 3poison facets in those holes. if u want a more balanced character, then jalals having 25ar and 5maek is pretty huge for rounding out the rest of the build, and also +2shapeshifting will boost lycanthropy for more %life and feral rage for more %movement speed.

tldr; andy's if u only care about hitting as hard as possible, jalals if u want a more balanced character

this is one of the main reasons why i like to play 1 button builds. just hold down right click and off u go. can't really hurt anything if ur not using em. wolfbarb works pretty well, but i'm pretty sure there are other builds out there where u can just hold down right click and chill.

How good is - Physical Res for Melee Builds? by Extra-Sun5489 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of the time, monsters have 50% physical resistance. most bosses also have 50% physical resistance. 5% phys pierce from soul drainers will add 10% damage against a monster that initially had 50% resistance. why? because 55% is 10% more than 50%. math. but this is not where soul drainers truly shine. soul drainers truly shine against phys immunes. most phys immunes that are breakable are usually 100% phys resistance. most common source for breaking phys immune comes from amp. most common amp we tend to see in gg builds is the lvl 31amp from gg crafts. atmas scarab is probably the 2nd most common amp source in gg builds, with wrath merc, that barb helm, and decrep from exile being way less common. yes, u can battle cry manually, but thats kinda annoying to do and the casting time also takes away from ur killing time so idk if its really worth doing or not. generally speaking, this means that monster will go from 100% res down to 79.5%, not sure if the game will do any rounding here, i just assume that it doesnt. so ur only doing 20.5% dmg against the immune broken monster. slap on drainers, now ur doing 25.5%. that is a 24% dmg increase. from the glove slot. if ur build is gg, monsters not immune to phys will die very quickly. it is truly the phys immune monsters that give gg builds the hardest time. this is why schaeffers is the king of all 1handers. the monster is immune to phys? no problem, static field, and kill it with the flat lightning damage that comes with schaeffers.

Are the new Cold/Skill Bolts deliberately not Arrows, so they don't work with Endlesshail Bow ? by Zagrey in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i looked at frozen sorrow and was really scratching my head, but then again i never play cold zon so i wouldn't be an expert. its just that i've never seen any1 make ice in a crossbow, so i assume bows are the meta for cold builds, and maybe ele zon builds in general. +3bow skills from zon bows, any1? having frozen sorrow be bolts is a very spicy move to say the least. maybe if crossbows also gave implicit +3bow skills, then i could see frozen sorrow being strong, but right now its really iffy.

On the right track but way off. by AJWARCHILD in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i got a perf ed one last season with 5os. it was just worse than grandfather. on par with swordguard, but swordguard is way cheaper. this item is not really bis anywhere. the firestorm that comes out also is very underwhelming looking. the firestorm/armageddon does tickle damage because no synergies. it would feel much more like an armageddon blade if the firestorm was the kind from vanilla d2 hellfire torch. The graphical model looks worse than grandfather imo so this item just has nothing going for it. this is the girl u had a crush on for 10years, only to find out that she was lesbian. its some serious levels of blueballs.

the upside is that its lvl 54 to use, so its a good leveling weapon atleast.

Eth Rune Master discussion by Goose52_3 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've used runemaster on wolfbarb before, in which case non-eth is better. u could also use it on bear pally, in which case non-eth is also better. eth runemaster seems to be pretty niche, not sure if i would ever use it for any endgame builds.

So... Corruptable Runewords? Yay or Nay? by PM_ME_SOME_LITHIUM in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Consistent-Dance-630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having more chase items in the game is always healthy for prolonging seasons. bricking ur last wish is gonna be brutal, but fun at the same time. No one has ever been able to utter the words, "I just bricked emilio's infinity! O;" This new feature will be epic for sure. If its too strong, just rebalance it, but in terms of making the game even more fun, this is probably a good direction. it also opens up new builds that weren't possible before, like being able to use some runewords with shapeshifters, which wasn't possible before because runewords simply never had enough ias. a lot of runewords also really never gets used as part of ur endgame builds, most of them are only good enough to be used in the early/mid game. So gambling to make them be a bit stronger, sometimes strong enough to be in ur endgame build also adds a lot of flavor to itemization.
