20 years later and poison dagger bug still exists

Blizzard when are you going to fix the fact that poison dagger is supposed to work with dagger class throwing weapons? it’s literally been confirmed by original dev’s to have been intended.

please it takes like 3 minutes to fix this and it’s been ignored for 29 years. please if we could get one single fix this years, fix this…

Probably because they know that even if the skill did work with throwable dagger class weapons, it’d still suck as a skill. Lets say it did happen… A few people will try it with hero edited local single player necro just to get 5 minutes of “oh, hey this skill still sucks”, and then go right back to the META. So why bother?

You don’t see a bunch of Amazons running around in Hell running the show with Plague Javelin, do you? Nope.

um, excuse me, but i wouldnt call a build that can solo ubers right now, bad.

A full fledged smiter can solo ubers… But it’s bad for pretty much everything else.

why would you make a “full fledged smiter” when, like you said, it’s garbage, when you can make a North Star Pally and have the same power a smiter has, yet still clear the entire game pretty efficiently.?

smiter only build is a relic of ancient times. this is 2024.

coincidence that you bring this up, as it’s a great example of dev’s fixing something (smiter being niche) and making the game better because of it.

And, after 20 years, we still don’t have an in-game trade platform.

Even if that was in the game from start people would still use d2jsp because of rmt and the fact currency carries over to next ladder.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. P. Dagger necro can solo Ubers?

easily.

Poison dagger is melee. It is not supposed to be ranged. if you want it to be ranged, then there has to be a nerf of 70% to necromancers’ hit points.

Enjoy your own logic.

Do you mean being able to throw a poison dagger ou use it meelee whilst equipping a throwable dagger?

The former would require a complete rework not just of the skill but the class in general, since carelessly turning a powerful melee skill into a ranged one could become very cheesy very fast.

The latter… Well I suppose it wouldn’t harm the game though I’m not sure why you would want to equip throwing daggers on a melee build.

Powerful melee skill? With the damage spread paper thin over a 20 second duration, you’re better off swinging a grief with the basic attack button :sweat_smile:

im pretty shure if you played enough i think you only needed like 1 charm to do ubers… this paladin thing is old man

It would be a sick and good skill then.

A assassin could then get 120k ranged poison damage ^^

immagine pvp, 5 traps up, mindblast and toss a 120k psn damage knife in their face.
