hello everyone i buy 3 week ago d2re
and have to say the game look great
and also love a lot how the unique and set items look
sadly a lot of them are completely useless
i imagine the 3d designer work a lot on this item
and think is just fair justice to make these item a bit more valuable and buff this item
this will be great to have item balance in the game
thank you
I would definitely like to see outdated items brought back to life along side new items
I would love to see underwhelming uniques revamped as well. Runewords easily outpace them. Even oath outperforms all the unique items and it’s dirt cheap to make.
It would definitely help to keep mfing relevant long term.
One way they could make unique items fun again is by removing level requirements again. Definitely would make LLD more interesting if all unique items level requirement was just whatever the base item’s is.
How many tomes does Lazurus have in Diablo 2? There’s one in Act 1, He has a tome at the Summoner, I’m assuming he has another in Act 3?
Buff Spire Of Lazarus. He is one of the most epic characters in the Diablo universe. His spire is a two handed staff. It should be for powerful glass cannon mages that don’t hide behind shields.
i think items should be balanced based on rarity that would make many runewords better than uniques because they are lower drop rates for multiple high runes but they should buff the extremely rare items like Tyrael’s Might still.
I agree with OP. On top of the art; it just feels bad throwing away 99% of all uniques because of the difference in power between runeword and uniques.
I’d rather have better unique items that dropped less if it meant that im not throwing everything away
made a cube recept that can upgrade ED% on unique will make unique great again.
Idk it’s an idea that sounds good on paper but it’s kind of a pipedream imo. Uniques will either make runewords obsolete or it’s what we have now. It’s always going to be min-maxed quickly nowadays. It’s like as humans we get bored with what we have and want it changed but flip flopping it your in the same place. Just we all use uniques and runes are then worthless.
Many uniques will still always be worthless again min-max internet information pooling. Take a few weeks if that
I get what you’re saying. People will always find what’s most effecient and the masses will use that. But if they can find even any semblance of balance between updated (possibly in addition to new) uniques and runewords, that would create more build diversity and more important, build flexibility.
It’s my belief and opinion, that could only serve to improve the enjoyment and longevity of the game.
I just want to see Flamebellow buffed with 12-18 Fire Mastery that way you could wield two and probably still an insignificant amount of damage but at least it would be slightly more viable and funny to see
This already exists, essentially. You can upgrade normal unique weapons and armor to the exceptional equivalent, and then you can upgrade them again to the elite equivalent.
This. So much this. Unless unique/set items eclipse runewords, people won’t care about them. But once they eclipse rune words, rune words will become obsolete. We’ll end up in the exact same place.
But unique and set items are still quite good, especially while leveling. Some unique items are very serviceable stand-ins for high end gear, and others fit niche builds really well – in both cases, this is due to particular properties (e.g., high crushing blow, exploding arrows, etc.). And some partial set bonuses will last you a long time as you progress even through Hell. Plus, you can upgrade unique items and socket unique/set items, extending their shelf life.
There is an interesting YouTube series called D2R Unique Items. Check it out.
I’m well aware of the ability to up an item, however 90% of the time that unique will still be outclassed. I’m well aware there are certain uniques that are very useful and even staple to builds. I just want more of that, variety. Buff some uniques that we all knew and loved, but not to the point they eclipse runewords. I don’t care which one is stronger, I just think the gap could closed a bit and we could see more niche builds, more placeholder gear till gg gear, and even more gg gear for all I care. Variety. Spice. Less trash.
İf they give us a cube recipe to be able to open more sockets on a unique (cham/zod could be used for this purpose) they could become interesting
İt is been tried in several mods and the outcome is quite balanced vs runewords
Uniques are underwhelming because RW came out to power creep them. It would be nice if some unqiues are just as powerful as runewords specially weapons so that there is more demand for them in trades and people will have more choices when it comes to endgame gear. Maybe also make runewords armors looks a bit different
I’m kind of a novice in many aspects, but… Are THAT many unique and set, so bad?
Are you saying only runewords are worth it?
I’ve relied on uniques and parts of sets for most of my gaming. Also in rares, and runewords. But my weapon is almost always a unique that I upgrade somehow. Add a socket for IAS rune/jewel, upgrade item itself through recipe.
Sure, some runewords would be better. But finding the runes + getting a decent base… That proves to be much harder, in reality. I need something solid meanwhile, and I’d like to think my Battle Hammer-base Ironstone + Shael is pretty decent for NM Act 5.
I love the mods I get from just two set pieces I combine currently. Nice +Run and +30 IAS, 10% life leech, etc.
I do believe they should be more useful overall, considering how hard they’re to get. I mean, there’s no reliable way. Uniques should be more potent, indeed. Also, so people diversify from the current “runes are the only way.”
I have no idea how valuable full sets are, as I’ve never come even close to getting all drops for one.
Agreed. There are definitely some cool sets but runewords basically trump a lot of of the items. That is why when D2 LoD launched, I basically just finished the game and played around some and then just finally moved on because I wasn’t all into the runewords and preferred actual drop items. Obviously now, I have been creating runewords but still wish set pieces meant more.
Transmog, we need transmog to make use of this usless unique.
Ugrade a unique short sword Rixot’s Keen to elite falcata are still useless. But if we can upgrade the ed% on Rixot’s Keen falcata to 200%-300%, someone may consider the uprade and use it.
I would love to have the fools mod added to my ethereal death cleaver and have 300% enhanced damage added to my ethereal templars might.
oh and nerf grief and enigma ty men
