Just like all the updates so far in d2r, the new helm runewords were created by interns who are total noobs at d2. Another joke of an update, why bother at all?? Is it impossible for these interns to do QoL or lobby updates?? I have the feeling that is the case. They probably just gave hero editor to a couple interns and ask them to make some random items…
Sorc is dead in Mild lvl duels.
haven’t ignore…but eh…
lemme ask u in a different way…why do you view treachery as bis ? like how are you weighting it ?
like pros and cons
literaly all it does is 45% ias
the merc would go from 12 frame to 11 frames(Colossus Voulge Obedience + 35% ias andy helm + treachery)…thats about 9% dps increase(9% more CB procs)
or if were able to afford a making it on a giant thresher…then 11 frame become 9 frame(22% more proc of Crushing blow)
Fortitude is a 300% enhanced dmg
if merc do 500-1500 for say…that goes up to 2000-6000 dmg(thats a lot more massive than 500-1500 X 22%—> 610-1830
idk how you play but like…unless 50%+ of your gameplay involve killing bosses…that crushing blow wont do much…let alone if your char skills terminate a boss b4 your merc get a single hit in
EDIT: btw Dizzy can ya help me out 1 last time ?(Uber Trist)
…and i’d like to return the annilus you gave me…its been very usefull to get started and i now have a solid annilus acquire self-farmed(dropped on my tenth Uber D)
err willing to pay a Mal rune upfront to get the help if i must XD(only good rune i found so far on ladder but i’d sacrifice that to farm more anni efficiently + chance at some sunder charms)…alternatively…up to ist//gul on nl instead of Mal if Mal is insufficient
edit 2: some pointless info removed
Aside from Bulwark, they are all crap.
Fire absorb is useful.
Lit absorb is useful.
Bulwark is like a vamp gaze that you can build into a strong base.
I don’t have a current character that can do uber trist I don’t think. I can see if I have a reworkable character, but I can ask a couple friends if they’d help you. No reason to return the anni, give it away if you’d like I have no use for it.
I can contact a couple people if you let me know when you need help with a trist run. There are probably a few helpful people on this forum that would assist. I simply only have my NL hdin and my ladder cold sorc atm. I gave most of my other gears away. If it is on NL I can see if I can’t get like a grief and dracs though and swap my build around.

nvm you guys know about it.
I think its a cool helemt personally. 3 mins is a pretty long buff duration and I think its coll to finally see shaoe shifting get some love. Also some interesting new theory crafting with chars like a beardins. Maybe im biased cuz I like the druid.
yes you are
this helmet have nothing to do with d2
in my opinion because d2 shell like you , d2 turn out too something else
he all know the main issue with the bear druid , compare too fix the issue from the core , now the dev add a other broken item ,mean limited gear option , compare to fix the issue from the core , a other grief a other enigma ect…, you guy dont have the heart and soul of d2 and more and more this game is ruine , is sad too see d2 too turn out in hot garbage

D2 was awesome because all drops were interesting. D2R now goes:
- buff everything except items
- runes only
- 95% of high uniques/sets are useless
- low/med uniques/sets completely bad
- no balance attempt (Eni, Grief, Spirit)

Yeah I couldnt agree more… but we all know what they will never admit to, they cant or wont dedicate the resources to it, runewords are easy, deep diving into uniques, well Zax or other modders could comment on the dedication ratio.
Maybe after D4 is done they will allot some more devs to focus on true player needs and wants for D2R.
Thats a big ask for a 23 year old game! If they could swallow their pride and come to their senses then they would realize all we want is D2R expanded upon! Nobody cares about the story, nobody plays a game for 20 years for the story. I bet they could make a good amount if they charged $100 usd per d2r expansion, I know that I’d buy it!
The story of a game is the least important aspect, its all about the gameplay.
LLD might go mental if you allow them in the 30 bracket.
Melee is already king i believe in that bracket too so adding resistance and absorbs to specific elements might piss people off.
Whether you want to admit it or not its communities like these that kept the game alive over the past 18 years after everyone bailed.
lld community already ban items like absorb effect from being use…however…bulwark would not receive a ban if it was made usable at lvl 30 and that would even the playing field for kickers//smiters
edit: if your caught using cleglaw gloves(slow effect) or absorb the whole group will pk kill you for bad manner
Yeah you arent wrong, however they opened the can when they remastered the game, they rekindled our fire to this epic game. They should expect nothing less than players to want more and to enhance on the game.
