If they don’t fix immunities for fire and cold, they might as well tbh. At least all of the elements will struggle then. I’d even say throw some magic immunities into chaos sanc.
PvM is so unbalanced. FIRE needs fixing!
Immunities are not the issue. It’s infinity!! Infinity should not break any immunes. Period. No one character should be able to obliterate the entire game (cough lightning sorc). Also nerf hammer damage. Adding more magic immunes would kill PnB necros even more. Hammers just need a nerf.

whoa whoa whoa, melee is not handicapped. You can cut through phs immunes and undead like butter with a lawbringer sword or reapers toll on your merc. You can also use the weapon lacerator to proc amp damage. azurewrath is another good option for phys immunes, on my frenzy barb i use Oath/kinglsayer and on switch i have Azure/Lawbringer and i cut throiugh anything in the game ubers included.

Some people feel to have monsters with super high resistances instead of immunities at all is the solution, this will be carefully looked at personnaly i dont think immunes will go anywhere it makes it very challenging which i personally like.
Fire does need fixing but they must use the utmost care, in mods like path of diablo they balanced PVM very nice but absolutely destroyed PVP . They also cannot do what everyone wants in the end the majority will decide in PTR lets hope the purists do not ruin this for all of us. It will be a challenge for vicarous visions to balance PVM and PVP especially with a million people complaining at them every step of the way.
We that care alot about D2 and want changes and a working ladder need to play the 2.4 PTR when it comes out and feedback the living crap out of that thing in the appropriate feedback channels.

Agreed. PvM needs to be balanced from a merc/monster level, not at the skill level. So PvP is not ruined.
I don’t even play PvM, only PvP, and PvP is very balanced. It could use a few tweaks, but otherwise it’s good.

Well said yep, tough task ahead of them gotta be very careful not to ruin PVP. PVP is my favorite as well i PVM to get gear for PVP lol
They need to reduce the CD of Volcano if they want it to be viable for speed clearing.
Tried it on the PTR and it’s just slow and awful.
Current PTR is still on 2.3 setting, and they did say they plan on reducing CD for most of Druid’s fire skill in 2.4

The merc is really the best answer to immunes, until there are changes dunno what to tell ya. I use lower resist wands on switch early ladder to get a major boost in damage to bosses and tough groups but it does not break the super immunes. Maybe that with conviction together could
yes as kisekinecro said do not forget this PTR is only for loggin in out of games to test servers and create new toons HC and SC , i was confused at first too
Yes, but the point is lightning immunes shouldn’t be able to be broken by infinity either then. It makes no sense that one element gets to clear things quickly without worrying about immunities. It should either be that infinity/some other runeword breaks the fire immunes as well or else none of them should break any immunities.
yeah i get ya , we back to what we talk earlier they need a new runeword or changes

They’re already planning on balancing skills though, that’s the point. Even with them upping damage and changing cooldowns on fire skills, those fire skills won’t really be viable pvm-wise still.
I’m not really worried about PvP, even though I used to PvP a lot back in the day. Let’s be honest, PvP has never really been balanced.

I disagree i think PVP is balanced but that is for another thread, i mentioned earlier the only way is to make enemies super fire resistant and not immune but the PTR 2.4 feedback will decide such things. In the mean time all we can do is live with it and use our merc and other creative ways to solo the game
Eh PvP is far from balanced, that’s why the community has had to create their own rules about sorb+stack etc. But yeah, let’s hope they do what needs to be done.
I mean just by looking at cold mastery and how OP it is for PvP should say a lot heh.

always people looking for a duel that aint fair thats diablo i kind of like it that way, i dont cheat but i love it when i finally get one of those guys lol. Then i guard their body like a hawk , thats diablo my opinion PK and stuff like that goin no where.
I think there is a build that can kill anything, the right barb can handle any sorc. Again lets savfe this for a PVP thread.
Yes they need to get this dealt with and we need to give them the feedback when the PTR launches
Umm no. Pvp is a joke and can f off.
It is has no popularity and no significance. It is the throw away twig of parsley that comes with the pancakes. Pvp is the small, run down park that 70 people hold dear to their hearts. If that land can be put to better use for the greater good then bulldoze it without a second thought.
D2 is a pvm game from top to bottom. Improve pvm to make jt interesting and balanced.
What are your thoughts about PvP hammerdin? Overpowered?
Why can’t we just have both? You’re a buzz kill
I am assuming they will be releasing a runeword for fire skills to help with this.
