Since blizzard can drop Enigma but nerf uniques always pissed me off.
They should now buff uniques so perfect unique can come to major runewords…
Two handed weapons need serious buffing in both damage and stats they give.Grandfather should be usable same goes for Arkaine Valor…
I agree. Why can they not allow multiple versions of the same items drop? 08 valk, 08 gaze 08 azurewrath along with their updated counter parts. Hell, why not have D2R versions along side LoD versions? Would be much more interesting.
I’ve always been of the opinion that they should sometimes have seasons where ladder uses older patches but with bug fixes. Would be a cool look back. Then you could look back at cool older items like that.
I think they started well this game but lost it midway, what I mean is that they made balance changes, yes, but after that we didnt need sunder charms but stackable runes etc, reworked uniques for sure cause most of them are trash and there is no diversity.
Why runewords must be so mandatory and so few uniques to be used only. I mean ppl wasting rng to find something extremely rare and not get excited cause this super rare item is trash.
They need to rework most unique uniques and make stackable runes/gems ASAP!!!
As uniques are completely outclassed by runewords, I would rather see the developers add significant buffs to truly make them UNIQUE, few examples from thread below:
Arkaine’s Valor
The Grandfather
Flamebellow
Frostwind
Doombringer
Messerschmidt’s Reaver
Baranar’s Star
Ondal’s Wisdom
Its a game of balance vs abundance. If you want good bases for runewords or runes, do not use mf! You get punished for having mf yet if you want high end rares or sets, you need mf to have a remote chance. Ive found multiple jahs, bers Zods etc since d2r launch but havn’t found a gris weapon, astreon, metalgrid, hotspur, or tyraels might. Caddy scepters seem to be ultra rare.
It’s honestly weird that the MF mechanic works like this.
I’ve thought about this a lot, but… it doesn’t work on act-end bosses, does it? Since they never drop normal quality items, anyway, so nothing for the MF to boost.
Well, Duriel tends to be a scroll of teleport pinata. If you are ever in need of tp scrolls, he is by far the most abundant source in game!
Well true. It baffles me his drop table was never fixed. TO THIS DAY.
They should have Duriel say “Looking for loot” because he is like a box of chocholates, you already know what your gonna get.
I have gotten a BK ring off him once… but that was the best drop he’s ever given me. It’s still one of the goated memes of D2; the TP scroll-dropping act-end boss.
You have won Diablo 2! Must be the rarest drop in all of the game.
I wasn’t even farming him. It just fell while I was playing through the game in Hell. Can’t remember the life steal roll on it, though. I don’t think it was a perfect 5%… go figure.
They need to start nerfing stuff. Spirit and insight are the biggest items needing a nerf. Along with a few of the other rune words.
What has that to do with uniques being trash?
