Enigma is insanely expensive and difficult to get, and if I didn’t have a sorceress that can farm bosses and trav at a couple minutes a run I’d literally not have anything for any of my classes, including her. The drop rates in this game are punishing at best. It was designed that way and should stay that way. And by the same token, Teleport was designed to allow the player to get through areas insanely fast.
In D3 they gave each class a way to teleport with restrictions, except the Monk that can teleport faster than even the Sorceress can with the right build.
But in D3 they also made most maps completely static, and added a ton of waypoints, and the ability to instantly travel from any spot to any other waypoint at any given time.
And they made most items hit for thousands to trillions more damage and made it so you can get max level in 20 minutes and get fully geared in top tier sets in 2 hours and … there are a billion differences between D3 and D2 that make everyone calling for D2 teleport to behave more like D3 teleport just sound completely stupid.
So bottom line, just don’t change teleport. The repercussions would be devastating. Talk about permanently changing the entire meta of every build in the game.
Whew, you had me in the first half, not gonna lie. I agree, there is no nerf necessary, needed, or even wanted, for Teleport. Want a nerfed Teleport? Check it out with its 11 second cooldown in D3, see how much you enjoy it there, don’t worry, D2 will be waiting for you when you come running back XD
Are you saying it’s a good thing your sorc needs to mf for your other classes or a bad thing?
Do you mean don’t just change teleport (i.e. any changes to teleport should be accompanied by meta changes) or don’t change teleport period?
Sure, if every class had about the same m/f capability you could adjust to that global rate so that it’s equally punishing/rewarding for all. In a perfect world…
No one “needs to” do anything in D2. Most experienced/advanced players don’t even start with Sorc to MF with, but with Amazon, Assassin, or Barb, hell maybe even Necro. Sorc is just the simplest/easiest for most players to spam Meph or whatever.
Mostly it was a question to see how happy the original post was with the situation. It starts off sounding like a gripe but seems to affirm that he likes it that way.
FWIW, sure, you can clear the game and mf with any class. I use the tortoise and the hare analogy in another thread. Both can get to the same place eventually, but the tortoise never really had a chance to catch the hare while they were both competing equally hard.
I thought I was being pretty clear from the beginning with “just don’t” in reference to my title. But that shows how much I know about myself and how to communicate.
I mean, do not change teleport. Don’t touch it. It’s fine. I’m fine using my sorc to MF till I can gear up another class.
And I start with Necro, erry time. But I do love Sorcs.
Comments like this show us just how dumb and blinded by bias you people are. Your inability to consider and understand the opposing views does not make us trolls.
You would be right, except they already qualified it as “almost positive” meaning they left room for the possibility for y’all to not be trolls. Reading comprehension, yo!
this equality #$%@ is really getting annoying in Real life and in games, not all classes and specs can have teleport nor need it. Buy a #$%^ing teleport staff, problem #$#&en solved. blizzard does not need to add teleport or something similar to other classes so they can feel equal, if that happens are sorcs going to get some type of Battle shout, or Summon ability or what ever a amazon / assassin / druid can provide that a sorc dosnt have, ETC for all other toons. Teleport is not op, nor needed.
like cta or any of the paladin aura items or armor that could give them fade, or maybe items that could let them cast necro curses, god forbid if they could cast druid shapeshift forms or guided arrow/multishot…
(by the way for the 1 guy out there who doesn’t get it yes i know they can do all those things that’s my point.)
