Yeah… so we all know it firday evening and you can’t login to EU region… and it’s usually like that for the whole weekend for the whole year especially at holidays…
this is because EU server is running on a potato, not because some twist of fate that UE has more D2 players than any other region… they just show us “choose finger where finger index=3”
In the past ppl begged blizzard to change the servers from potatoes to modern machines… yet blizz declined stating that servers are fine…
So the only way blizz buys new servers is when the old ones kick the bucket…
So… let’s create a mischief shall we…?
Due to blizz’s own irresponsibility of handling this game they themselves devised a way to murder the servers, while such things as rabies on bonewal were patched, there is a newer and even more devastating way of causing the server to spontaneusly catch fire…
i estimate that if around 1k players playing the build i devised will simulataneusly enter uber tristram ( as a place with big mob density, and a place with virtually infinite amount of mobs), and starts attacking, than it will be enaugh to create processor temperature spike so big, that the server’s cooling system won’t manage to react in time, causing “spontaneus” server fire…
since d2r server is not routinely staffed… it will most likely burn down before anyone manages to notice it’s too late…
when they’ll have no server for d2r they’ll be forced to buy a new one since let’s be honest it’s unlikely they have another potato laying around to plug it in…
now… a little plre-introduction to the build as to why it’s possible now but wasn’t in LoD
namely holy bolt mechanics:
in patch 2.4 they changed holybolt mechanics… not only it also damages demons but it also pierces through everything… and also ( and this is also an important part of the build) the holybolt’s heal amount is not only appled to allies but also to the caster when hitting an undead or demon… this is important, for the healing amount may seem low… however in mass quantities let’s say from 100 holybolts the heal amount begins to be a considerable source of healing…
there is an item in the game that has a guaranteed holybolt proc on striking ( yes you’ve heard it a holybolt per each enemy hit not once per attack)… so if one does multiple attacks per hit it means more holybolts…
Now since we know the above, where to seek a build that does so many hits…
Strafe bowa is the answer… not only she shoots up to 10 arows per volley ( this is slvl dependant a bit and skill description is wrong about it. even maxroll show calculations for 5 arrow volley however skill can reach 10 arrow volley at sufficient slvl)… and that’s not all if you have 100% chance to pierce those 10 arrows can hit up to 10 subsequent enemies each that’s literally 100 hits… each of this collisions creates a holybolt that not only heals the caster bus also provides some magic damage aginst undead and demons ( hardly any other mob type in uber tristram)… on top of that… if you’re near max attack speed breakpoint you’ll also proc firestorm from hellfire torch pretty consistently… te amount of collisions probably slightly exceeds what the engine limitation is, to the point that the game slows down but not crashes like the shenk death on ultra settings…
having multiple players playing this setup is sure to cause increased load on the servers… the only question is how many players are needed to execute the eu server… now I’ve shown you the way… it is up to the players to decide if they want blizz to buy a new server, cause players torched the old one XD
P.S. if anyone’s interested i’ll try to record footage with my phone of hero editor prepped build ile it could be achied in game in action…screen recording is not an option since said build in action pushes my pc to it’s limits…
