so this is gonna turn into wow. where they wreck your build out of nowhere just for the sake of making you reroll constantly

Tested, its slower. Genuinely slower. About 2-3 frames worse than the same setup pre2.4
Alright then, Karen.
shall we test skills having negative AR next? i mean for the purpose of testing it should be fine right?
I am sure players would love to test things that we can see are terrible within less then 30 sec of gameplay.
Plenty of us have played the game for several decades and this is equal to taking an entire class out of a game with a change that nobody was asking for.

I think what they should do is reduce every caster FCR% by 50% and only let characters receive 11% FCR% max from gear next. To âtestâ and add âdiversityâ

To be honest, whatâs so unique about shapeshifting? Itâs just a reskinned frenzy barbarian with a bit of skill options. Might as well just remove druid out of the game if they donât rework it properly. Fixing ias isnât going to fix it. The entire tree needs some revamp to do.
The D2 we know and love is quickly disappearing friend.
What ever you and I used to love has been âcorrectedâ.
We should never have been allowed to enjoy those goodies!!

Did you read this?
We would like to encourage PTR players to experiment with different weapon choices for their Werewolf and Werebear forms. It is not our intent to reduce the viability of the transformed Druid. We will be looking at ways to improve the performance of the transformed Druid without sacrificing the benefits obtained from unifying the attack speed calculations.
I was gonna say it was bad enough playing wolfbarb when they âfixedâ the broken IAS, now gonna get a second âfixâ (apparently) should be the final nail in the coffin for wolfbarb. Sad too, really enjoyed that build.
So is that âlooking at ways to improveâ gonna be for this patch, or are we gonna need to wait another 4 months for it
Did they announce an end-date for the PTR and a date for the patch release?
If they didnât, chances are thereâs more changes
If they did, chances are there arenât more changes.
If only there were some way, some simple check box we could check, to play legacy LoD in D2R, hmmmâŚnah, probably too much work, letâs all jump into the void together, see how it goes, why would we ever anchor a rope to the top on the off chance jumping into the void together wasnât such a bright idea
âItâs okayâ they say âif you want the game with no changes, you can go play legacy D2 in 800x600â they say
Yeah, we should be lucky they didnât destroy the original client like Warcraft 3: Rescrapped
Arenât we thankful?!
Also like D3âŚthis patch around, itâsâŚspins wheelâŚthis sets turn to shine! Woohoo! Sorry everyone else, check back in 4 months!
we had decades to test out all weapons in the entire game for fury and werebear druids.
it take next to no time what so ever to see that we cant even come near the old speeds.
Reducing speed is a direct reduction of viability on a class that leech to stay alive.
They are not talking to people new to arpgs. They are talking to people who have played the genre much longer then mere 1000 of hours on a single game. Many of us have played this game for 10000 hours or more.
That is just in diablo 2. Most of us have at least tried other arpg games over the years.
We as a community know the damn mechanics and can test it out much much faster they someone who is new to the game.
âwe will be looking at ways to improve the peformance of the transformed druid without sacrificing the benefits obtained from unifying the attack speed calculationsâ
At best sounds out of tough and at worst sounds like the developers have no real clue as to why people play were druids at all.
R u sure? Have u tested Serpent Lord Long Staff? Itâs really OP will give you unlimited mana leech to use Rabies with I think itâll be really good u gotta try it out otherwise weâll never know if itâs good or not thanks 4 helping us blizz I think we all forgot about Serpent Lord until now we have a reason to use it with these changes to see how bad SS druids can get
I meant how good/strong druids can get, not how bad, whoops lol
I refuse to believe youâre older than 20, honestly.
Okay thatâs nice but what does that mean exactly. Are you saying theyâre not older than 20 therefore they are wrong and shouldnât be considered? That if one is not older than 20 then they donât have valuable contribution to add to a discussion, or that they canât make any valid point? Honestly now I am wondering if youâre even older than 20, who would even make a comment the way you did talking about someones age like that to try and invalidate them, seems like something a kid would do, so.
