I was looking at the runeword called Radiance trying to justify using it for something. I realized that its main advantage would have been its +5 to Light Radius, if Light Radius was actually useful.
Radiance
Radiance
3 Socketed Helm
Required level: 27 Nef Sol Ith
+75% Enhanced Defense
+30 Defense vs. Missile
+10 to Vitality
+10 to Energy
+33 to Mana
Damage Reduced by 7
Magic Damage Reduced by 3
15% Damage Taken Goes to Mana
+5 to Light Radius
Compare it to Lore, and it becomes obvious that Radiance is the ātanky, mana choiceā while Lore is the +1 All skills damage option.
Lore
Lore
2 Socketed Helm
Required level: 27 Ort Sol
+1 to All Skills
+10 to Energy
Lightning Resist +30%
Damage Reduced by 7
+2 to Mana after each Kill
+2 to Light Radius
Normal Light Radius is 13, maximum is 18.
Monster Crit% should be 5% at Light Radius 13, and 0% at 18.
Thus, Radiance effectively makes you immune to monster crits.
Together with its high mana and DTGM, it would then be the perfect starting helm for Teleporting with a Hardcore sorc.
Wearing Nadir would be a significant risk with its -3 to Light Radius = 8% Monster Crit Chance
No effect on PvP. Light Radius (the light from your torch) is a very PvE sort of thing by its nature.
Hello Anu/Sekscalibure/Omnipwn, instead of changing light radius to make the game difficulty easier like all of your suggestions normally do, hereās a way to make light radius more useful as a utility without making the fight vs monsters easier: Items that grant a bonus to light radius also increase the pickup range for autogold and the manual picking up of items, up to +5 yards.
I hope you know that bipolar disorder, or at its worst form of advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage is manageable with proper treatment.
Iād be content with light radius if it performed its purpose:
You can see here it makes basically no difference in D2R graphics compared to a huge difference in D2L graphics:
I donāt think it needs any additional nonsensical mechanics for it to be useful, just needs to do its original job. Helps a lot to see that group of archers in the pitch black caves before they hit you with a volley of arrows.
The first thing out of him is an attempt to gaslight you, then an attempt at insulting your idea, then he attempts to diagnose you with a mental disorder, then he cries you personally attacked him.
He is clearly projecting.
I like to use Radiance at lvl 30 with my ww barbs. It helps get the mana pool up to 150 very quickly, which is great for low level ww: combine that big of a mana pool with a Insight merc, and no mana leech is necessary in nightmare when using a good maul and lvl 1 ww.
Thanks for having my back. TheDarkJedi-1970 doesnāt have many good things in his life. āMisery loves companyā. Iām just gonna report him for trolling and see whether the mods are the same or not.
Right, I see that Radiance is already useful. The hardest part being getting a 3os helm early.
I refunded the game on my AtomicPunk account and can no longer post with it here, and none of my other 7 accounts have D2R on them. Remember when I posted a list of all my accountsāthat Iāve never been sneaky with my accounts?
Iām not your friend.
