Why Not let us make Death in pole arms, Spears, and Hammers?
Bump because please do this
Agreed, along with expanding other runewords…
Death is best symbolized by the Sword and Axe.
The instruments of execution.
Death is the name.
Decapitation is the game.
Spears are for armies.
Polearms are for town guards.
Hammers are for building.
In a single word: Work
Death is not work.
Death is freedom.
Why not just throw away the bad concept of weapon restriction
Just leaving
- 2hander runeword
- all weapons
Hmm i think dream should be in swords, scepters, and body armors.
Seems fair. That gets rid of grief and enigma on dreamers. I’m sure you were trying to make a point though.
Death is way to op to put into Poles. Easily would trump everything in the game.
Another logicless exaggerated reply
Nobody is asking for gear slot restriction removal
Death is the best runeword-name.
simplicity´s strength.
/spit at hustle
Polearms / two handers in general need help. They currently have nothing good except botd. Botd gives IAS but no damage modifier. Death gives damage modifier but no IAS.
Death can be made in two hand axes, and swords, both with quite high minimum damage, and comparible max damage to polerams, so why not polearms / spears / hammers?
Laughs in infinity and insight
Polarms have some of the best runewords, what are you on about?
What use case are you trying to resolve by adding death to polarms? You can already get a2 mercs 100% CB. And druids can already use swords and axes.
General high level melee character use, such as barbarians who have restrictive weapons masteries with only one functional polearm / spear / hammer runeword weapon choice at high level (ebotd) unless you make expensive throw away items from ethereal bases.
Infinity is a specialty item for elemental damage. It is not Indestructible / self repair so it cannot be made in ethereal base for usuable end-game melee damage. It could have zero enhanced damage and it would still be used by elemental builds as it is now.
Insight is only suitable for melee builds of lower level, because again, it is not indestructible or self repair, and so cannot be made in ethereal bases for max damage, unless you use as throw-away. Even then, insight ed is low for high level use. It is primarily used for mana regeneration with caster builds.
Bump because death needs this
A large amount of runewords become obsolete for builds/players if you lift base restrictions. I agree that many runewords deserve to have their bases expanded to give them any use at all, but Death isn’t struggling and fills a niche separate from Grief phaseblades.
It is not about death struggling, it is about end game melee polearm, hammer, spear, struggling with really only one functional runeword item choice - ebotd. Death can allow for another good alternative to that.
agree this will give us more option
sadly the lack of ias , is just so bad for barbarian with the last very dump change or barb update that increase ias requirement from 80% to 128% for ww slower weapon
is sad guy you wasting your time on these forum because is got 0 hope , diablo 2 is gone now , so many table are break with ias fhr ww fury ect…
this game is crap now
True, death lacks IAS. However, it has good damage modifier, and would be good for not so IAS dependant skill like Leap Attack
110% agree with you
sadly he all know leap attack miss something .
something the dev fail too update this is the story with d2re , half baked change ,making build most of the time end too underperformed making d2re a underwhelming experience 1+1=2
