By doubled mod range I mean:
You sacrifice so much to use a staff that nobody uses them and prefer to go spirit+ occy/hoto/eschuta
Having staves that can roll +6+6 would spice up things, power of staves vs safety of shields
Would also give some love to unique/set staves that are limited that way
Option 1: improve the skill bonus, mang song is now +8 instead of 5
Or
Option 2: Unique/set staves can roll sorc implicits like white/blue/rare
i agree that staves need a buff of some kind but idk i feel like its too late to possibly change the meta lol
its gonna take a lot to get ppl away from their hoto/spirit heh
Staff’s also need a chance to block so they are a real choice vs wand/shield. It doesn’t need to go up to 75% but getting close to 50% chance to block would help. Getting between 5-7 all sorc skills would also help. You can get +5 with Heart/Spirit while only 1 staff can pull that off but it has no chance to block…
The game just released and it has to release content to hold players captive for at least 2 years… new content is a logical must

id take an xpack. i dont feel like twisting what’s already there is content tho.
What makes you think a reasonable balance is what this game needs?
Technically you can get 8, spirit&+6orb which can also have cast speed and 2 sockets
It’s just another example of runewords powercreeping the hell out of the game.
Staves used to be quite good. Post runewords no one uses them because spirit shield is a thing.
sad Arkaine Valour cries losing its privileged spot as only +2 skill armor in the game
+9 energy shield staff but whatever
While the game is fun, if it doesn’t get any balance, it will go stale quickly within the year. It doesn’t have to happen any time soon, but it does have to happened if Blizzard wishes to keep its playerbase. It competes with the likes of Grim Dawn and PoE and PoE has a good grip on the ARPG genre right now. With the new season coming out for POE, D2 might lose a lot of players. This game will need a shake-up if it hopes to compete, at least until D4.
They could choose to leave it as Vanilla, which feels safe to do, but Blizzard has lost a large portion of their fanbase over the years. If they don’t find ways to retain their playerbase they may not come back for D4.
Personally I see nothing wrong with balancing the game and adding new content (especially if it’s ideas to add in to D4), but there’s a portion of the playerbase that want this game to remain unchanged, so much so they play on the old graphics… so we’ll see what happens.
people have been playing this game for 20 years because they loved the familiar environment without the balance shakes and meta shifts
if they start changing the game now they might lose that player base and not necessarily gain a new one
then this game is not for you
for an ever-changing online arpg you have many other options, as you said yourself
d2 is for those who want to come back to it in 5 years and it will still be the same old d2
is it really hard enough to grasp?
go propose building highways and skyscrapers for african tribes because c’mon its 2k21 lol and i will see what people say about you
When you ask a Vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate
You are the kind of guy that berate the person saying
“NOO Vanilla ice cream cone isn’t meant to have chocolate on it, if you want that it isn’t for you! Go eat an orange slushing instead!”
Mate… we all want to play D2… having a little change or twist to it doesn’t make it less D2
Pretty sure blizzard would add a vanilla mode for those annoying pests like you
Mang Sonngs with +10 to skills would be awesome!
leave that fake analogy to wow or overwatch players, you insult my intelligence trying to speak to me using these methods
Towards a very small portion of the playerbase is this true.
False. The previous Diablo exists. They’ll simply hop on that if that’s the case if they haven’t done it already.
This is a moronic statement.
I never made the claim to be leaving any time soon so this statement is idiotic. All I’ve stated was the mere obvious. If Blizzad wishes to keep up with its competition then they need to spice up the game. Whether they do or not is up to them. It’s not up to “me” to leave and go find a new game but it up to you and other like yourself to decide whether or not you want this game to die or to continue flourishing otherwise it will go stale and the population will drop.
According to who? You? I wasn’t aware that you made the rules, apologies.
This makes no sense.
