Step 1) Make it socketable into gear
Step 2) Gives +1 teleport O Skill (Alternatively: +1 Random OSkill from any tree)
Step 3) You’re welcome
Better idea: Remove it from the game so people quit talking about it.

Idk about better… but that is another idea.
I think Dark Master made a good point before that it was designed that way so 8 players would fight for the Torch and whoever was able to click through the clutter would earn it.
It was actually a good idea if that was what the devs were going for. Defeating the Ubers back then was (probably) supposed to be very difficult.
The Standard of Heros functions like a unique charm. Only one can be in the character inventory.
“The monsters of sanctuary are enraged by the standard you carry. They have grown in strength and numbers.”
While equipped, monsters gain +12.5% to health, damage and numbers.
The effect stacks additively with other party members.

Make it a charm that disables exp lose on death.
Just don’t die and you won’t lose exp

what about hardcore players? what would we gain from it then?
ONLY THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF.
You know the follow up response from him is that it protects you from one death.
Standard of Heroes + Hellfire Torch + Tome of Town Portal = Unlimited Tome of Town Portal
Unlimited Tome of Town Portal + Standard of Heroes + Annihilus = Unlimited Scroll of Town Portal
Standard of Heroes + Hellfire Torch + Tome of Identify = Unlimited Tome of Identify
Unlimited Tome of of Identify + Standard of Heroes + Annihilus = Unlimited Scroll of of Identify

Standard of Heroes + Hellfire Torch + Annihilus + Key = Unlimited Key
Same with Arrows/Bolts. Possibly even thrown potions.
What if… it prevents death?
Edit: Warning you just read a joke! Don’t get your panties in a bunch!
No. HC is HC and death is death. Do not import D3 and D4 stuff into D2, like Cheat Death items/skills.
Also, because of D2’s free trade combined with rampant RMT and botting, top HC players would have entire inventories and stashes filled with such charms.
Better yet. 10 Standard of heroes+ tome of identify = event for uniques

Jesus christ it was a joke lol. I am of the opinion that there are far to few deaths in D2.
hahaha, that is too good, someone else takes it too far. i too, was joking in a way, that i think you understood.
but their idea was so terrible it’s just not even doable. and all they want is an easier game. and they even die in d2. LOL.
It’s all fun and games until some freshly hired intern with no experience in game design takes it as an inspiration for a new 2.7 patch…
Isn’t it scary going around thinking if someone as much as utters a word it will come true? Relax my guy
