is hard to believe blizzard pay people too make these change . normaly for diablo 3 or diablo 4 blizzard show the picture of the team . i never see diablo 2 team . i will really like too see the visage of the winner making these change , if someone have the official picture of the diablo 2 team send me the link plz
. ok now guy 6 month after you start too realise the ww change is not that great
asking for 1 hand weapon a increase in average of 80% to 128 % in ias is bad , making slower weapon unplayable because you character is stuck with ias on is gear , not something good for diablo 2 ias stuck on your gear and after you need to put magic find or oother stats for pvp gear and also you lost a big amount of damage ok
ok now 6 month later you understand 2 hand Whirlwind are dead something asking 70 ias for 4 frame now ask 125 ias for 5 frame is just unplayable and let your character having 0 option too change is gear and on the top is really hard too achieve
this change bring very very little good too the game lower level screw your character later on
1-first easy fix is put 1 hand and 2 hand the same ias for Whirlwind the same of 1 hand sword and 2 hand sword , this never cause any issue no excuse there
so 2 hand Whirlwind will be playable and still 2xtime 1 hand will be on top so np there
2- next easy fix is too cut down the increase ias requirements around 30 % to 50%
because you forgot the Barbarian is a class that have any option too boost is ias compare a paladin . druid , assassin ,
If you want a picture of the full team working on D2r just google Jay Wilson, seeing the changes made I can only presume he took over and is doing everything by himself.
He is on a mission to prove that he can fix that broken game called D2, he already fixed PvP…was an annoying bug inside the system, remove it and move forward, never look back, that his motto.
Shapeshift, hmm he did not really understand how everything worked so re-writing time, he fixed the annoyingly overperforming Fire Claws and Maul, move forward and never look back.
Surely our own superman will next move in to fix the Hammerdin, those hammers are blocked by walls, add pass through walls fix done…
And since the Sunder charms is not good enough for magic damage, just remove magic resistance from the game, there done.
What does his eye spot next…normal damage against Demons and +50% against undead, that won’t do, those hammers are Blessed, this proves his point that he is better than Brevik, he will do what has to be done, double damage against Demons and Undead…which means erhmm he isn’t sure how it is calculated so just say +200% damage, maybe double maybe better, who cares he’s a hero now, more diversity to D2 now everyone can complete the game with a hammerdin no matter what your gear looks like!
simple question is got no reason in hell 2 hand weapon dont have the same ias table of 1 hand weapon , prove and fact sword have the same ias table for 1 hand and 2 hand . mean no balance issue there . the dev just destroy d2re too make you buy d4 that simple , d4 barbarian have no issue using 2 hand weapon
Jay Wilson is working on his own ARPG with a crew of ex-blizz devs.
And WW just needs some booleans flipped. Unfortunately we will not get anything near as good as D4’s WW mechanic in this 20 year old game but with some booleans flipped you can at least stop the “bug” where channel stops on kill. And I am pretty sure WW was originally intended to apply on hit effects because windhammer exists.
I wouldn’t hold my breath for any hotfixes like this tho. I think metamorphosis and mosaic was an attempt to shake up the meta long enough for us to not notice that all d2r devs are now working on d4
All we can hope for is that once D4 becomes “stable” for the foreseeable future, likely when the first season starts, hopefully they’ll return and do something good with D2:R.
Don’t hold your breath though, especially for anything “good”. And don’t count on them listening to anything the community says in the official D2:R forum.
I don’t have a pic but I am guessing they are obease with pasty skin and rainbow dyed EMO hair… It would not suprise me if we found out they have wine on tap in their workplace…
personally i believe they intentionally ruin diablo 2 re ,for player buy diablo 4 , simple fact barbarian use 2 hand weapon in diablo 4 and is not a issue
or oother stats for pvp 
is just unplayable and let your character having 0 option too change is gear
