I was suggesting and hoping for some class improvements into next ladder, nerfing the mosaic sin and buffing other classes like bone spear for necro. With bis gear in p8, the damage is still pretty slow. I just feel mosaic Is too broken and other classes really didn’t get the same treatment.

Mosaic is fine. They brought a uselss build, MA sins, and made it relevant…
Bone Nec will always be weak in PvM, IMO being magic damage has handcuffed its development and they are very careful with buffing bone spells as all buffs are hugely impactful in PvP. The solution is unfortunately a Mosaic type of solution, a necro only item that perhaps provides magic pierce against monsters only but I can imagine like Mosaic people will cry about it too… at this point it is too difficult for devs to be messing with skills/synergies, it is much easier to release these types of runewords as bandaids…
insaane these types of players always ruin games, they want things nerfed to force players to play other specs, because their upset the class/spec they play didn’t get buffed.

bone spear could use a 100% damage boost to hit like hammers.
while im not denying mosaic is broken… its kinda obvious that buffing bone spear is not the solution.
the solution to fixing broken things will never be “lets break more!!”
and when i say its broken i don’t only mean its far too strong.
it also literally crashes the game
it also REALLY stupid that this this in the form of a RW set instead of fixing the actual MA skills.
i wont deny mosaic is crazy fun, but im not going to pretend it isnt busted, it clearly is.
but i think the first thing they need to do is make it so it doesn’t crash the game. with all the effects going off

i would buff bonespear by remove the bone wall and bone prison synergies and give teeth and bone spirit more synergy dmg. now bone necro gets 40 points where they can put in other stuff. (probably corpse explosion and revive lol). so now bone spear still does the same dmg but u got pvm stuff to do too

I posted the same thing a while back in a bigger post, giving Teeth and Bone Spirit the same synergy bonus treatment.

I first tought good simple solution would be to make Concentration aura affect Magic type damage by 50% like Blessed hammers recieve.
Outside Paladin you can get aura from either Pride Act 2 OR Mist Act 1 mercenary. This would only affect PvM, not PvP.
But I foresaw an issue if it was made like that, then FoH build would skyrocket to super S+ tier, Hammerdin could not compare.
Its always: move one piece here, it moves something on the other side of system.
Some easy little help for bone necro can be Teeth 100% piercing enemies. This would not create any issue.
Also make Crafting the Shield with upto 10% magic resist to 5-35% magic resist. This way you can counter PvP bone necro and he can be getting PvM buffs.
Or make Bone spells have similar mod like Blessed hammer does: 50% bonus dmg to Undead. So make Bone spells do 100% bonus dmg to Undead and Demons.
Everyone who says this I would put his head on a spike in true diabolic demonic fashion.
One of the worse things in patches that happened since D2R.

There isn’t a single unique item that makes an underpowered build literally the strongest build in the game. Mosaic is fun and extremely broken, but not fine for the game balance. I agree, MA sins used to be garbage and they needed something, but this is not it, even though it’s extremely fun.
Its not so much that mosaic is broken. It is t hat wi t h drahon talons 7 kick flurry its too much. Maybe the fix is to make mosaic only keep stacks if you discharge the with another finisher.
Anyone who says “mosaic is fine” should be banned from this forum…
Jfc yall are absolutely horrid. You don’t like it then don’t use it?? Just like all the Enigma & Grief crybabies smh get over it! From a SSF standpoint, 99% of players will still prefer to start as Sorc first and even then Mosaic is more than acceptable, you need 2 Mals 2 Guls which is enough to be a pita to collect…not to mention this build really shines with enigma. And if you’re complaining about jsp & rmt users having these decked out MA sins, who gives af, how was it “better” before? They were all rolling around with end game gear wrecking in p8 anyways.
I find it funny that d2r.guide has all the runewords folks hate like enigma, infinity, grief, fort, insight, etc as highest rated runewords to build but mosaic is listed is average rating. Shows how the crybabies are clueless.
Next character yall should select “non-expansion” might help with your sanity.
Agreed. Along with anyone who likes any change post 2.3 TBH.
Man… Mosiac sin is not fine. I tried it in SP. Had the chance to do so, when I got 2 claw-bases. Respecced my Trapsin… typed P8. Went into every area I could think of… I was melting everything and everyone with ease. Without Infinity as wel. It was crazy. That’s not Diablo 2 for me. Perhaps can argue that Javazon is OP too. Yes, but needs Infinity. And moisac is miles ahead of the Lighting Fury Javazon imho. I deleted the saves, and copied my backupped savs. Trapsin might be weakers, but it’s more Diablo 2 to me.

This text again… ye dont use it and let everyone else be ahead of you with broken gamecrashing character. So obvious solution…
I already hated hammers and lighting fury for all these years. Now we have trashsin playrough evolving into godly melting crashsin right after 8 players from the team do Hell hellforge…
If you dont see a problem that means you are too bad at the game and you are too unexperienced to have opinion about this.
Too bad at the game wth? I have 20+ chars, only one of them is MA sin, the others are other characters, all SSF made, what is the problem?? What am I so bad with? After creating a MA sin last season I don’t give af to make one for this season, life moves on.
Jfc, what crybabies
