Why is MrLlama the lead developer?

Well I can’t find anything by googling “mr llama employed blizzard” and “mr llama exposed blizzard” - like, zero relevant results.

So it seems proper to put that burden on you since you seem to be so conscious about misinformation spreading and whatnot.

And I don’t see people being gagged on these forums. Like, there are a LOT of people who are not shy to say what they think of him. If anyone had their posts removed then I guess it was because they were maybe overzealous in their message?

Mr llama is a dumbass and we’ve learned blizzard only cares about what certain people think and the others are lost to the wind. It’s honestly a waste of time to try anymore these days. Old blizzard is dead.

I don’t think a youtuber should be the main source of changes for a game we all love. Not Mr Lame or anyone else. The devs should be looking at the threads being opened here and in the Diablo subreddits to get the necessary feedback!

I liked llama but now success inflated his head and ego

I’m guessing it’s because he’s a content creator so he’s actively promoting this game.

Who u mean with “we”?

I dont want it

Dear deluded OP, did you know your preferred streamer Cooley praised the dragondin nerfs and was indifferent to Hydra nerfs? The mental gymnastics you’re going through just because you cannot accept the braindead build won’t be buffed to insanity is impressive.

That would be a new WR by a long shot. Current WR for sorc completing Normal in LOD is 56:35 by Indrek on P1 and PX is 48:58 also by Indrek.

some of u people in here are crazy. the difference between what other streamers push for and what llama pushes against is the fact that llama does not play any other arpg besides poe on occasion and not much of that either. the thing that many of us hate is how d3 ended up and how poe is going towards now (power creep). so many people are upset about an expensive afk build getting nerfed “to compete with hammerdin/javazon” but insist “its not as powerful as you think” when comparing it to busted classes. you don’t buff everything up to the overpowered builds, you bring them down a bit. javazon has a niche fit so she doesnt really need a nerf but hammerdin and teleport in general do need nerfs for character balance. one click (less for auradin) and everything on screen dies is not fun gameplay and not where d2 should go. hammerdin should be nerfed. maybe javazon should as well. powercreep is the death of all arpgs, lets not kill d2 after it was just brought back lol

why not :p?

i also wonder why MrLlama is always the one invited to these dev talks, why not one of the hundreds of other big D2 streamers. that would bring in alot more opinions.
i agree with lots of things MrLlama says but some things i actually disagree and i see my opinion more represented by other streamers/non-streamers

This is not true… Gear for MF Zealot is cheap and easy to get. The problem is that the drop rate rng is so horrific that people dont want to even bother trying to play this kind of character for MF hunting.

The 1 item that breaks the game for MF zealot is Atmas scarab amulet… When that amp damage goes off you can kill ALL physical immunes and everything else in the game quickly. Makes Baal take a few seconds to kill. I think i can hit 250 MF really easy with just some cheap gear and NO CHARMS AND NO GHEEDS.

I have tried it. You can use Atmas amulet \ Alli Babba \ Skulders \ Wartravs \ Steal SKull \ Gold Wrap \Lava Gouts \ Raven Frost \ Storm SHield \ and a nagel ring.

When the Atmas goes off their isnt a monster in the game that can handle it. Its very quick and efficient build.

The test build i havent tried yet is to build a Vengeance Paladin with conviction aura OR holy fire aura that uses 2 Trash Fire facets inside the alli babba sword and fire facets in the rest of the gear that has a socket in it… You can then use trash fire charms in your inventory to really Amp up the damage when atmas goes off. You will probably be walking around 1 shotting every NON boss monster in the game really easy. You can use zeal to try to cast amp damage faster then attack with vengeance.

Extremely efficient, But just like any other 300+ Mf build in game, It doesnt matter how much mf you have if the items never drop. AND YOU WILL NEVER BEAT A CREDIT CARD WARRIORS CASH FLOW WITH MF.

from the stuff you listed even if atma proc the dmg be atrocious with alli baba as weapon…skullder…other stuff listed

it cant compete with Death runeword on a zealer using ali baba + amp

like sure…ali baba dmg goes up on par with death with amp on…but that would still be far from death dmg with amp active lol…and you still have no aoe wide attack either…for boss its nigma or bust…and for mobbing its bust from the get go since no aoe wide attack

anyway…its way too far from what a sorc can do

to be realistic as possible
Nigma(90-99% mf)
weapon: forget ali baba rly
Ethereal Upgrade Ali baba with Zod + 40% ED//15% ias jewel = 109 - 265 dmg

Death Runeword: 180 - 530 dmg + 50% Cb + 50% Deadly strike

its twice the dmg that Ali Baba can output with super expensive stuff added into it… and on top of that Death got 50% CB + 50% DS which explode bosses/mobs

goldwrap would be folly to use over Verdungo
Stealskull isn’t worth it over a Shako
Wartrav is a minor dmg lost by replacing Gore
Lava Gout(out of your mind)…laying of Hand is 350% dmg to demons + 20% ias
1 MF ring is ok(40% for a blue ring)
Gheed charm 40%

total…80+99 + 50 + 75(295-304% at best without wrecking killing speed too much)

its still far from a Sorc who can reach in the 350% without doing big sacrifice and can clear areas much faster
80% (rings X2)(melee need at least 1 ravenfrost)(rip +2 skills for casters)
nigma(99%)(melee sacrifice 300% ed while caster sacrifice no dmg)
Chancie(40%)(melee cant pick it over laying of hand)
Gheed(40%)
Shako (75%)
War trav(50%)(rip tri-resists boots for both
375%-384%
rings and boots other option
Dual resist rare ring with 25% mf
Tri-Resists rare boot with 25% mf(less reckless than War Trav)

Sorc loose up to 2 skills and can reach the 375% mf range
zealer…loose up 300% ed and can reach up to 295% MF and cant do aoe wide dmg…ofc your free to destroy 350% dmg to demons for 40% more mf lol

thats the outcome while doing minimal harm to the dmg output

Look, In single player game, the gear i listed makes 3 to 4 minute baal runs on a zealer. BUT thats in a single player game. Get you a 110 ED ali babba and upgrade it and when the amp goes off thats all it takes.

I can kill a physical immune monster and BAAL faster with Atmas and Ali babba than i could With death and lets say Highlords or any other amulet in the game.

I can put a tele amulet or circlet in my stash, tele to throne, switch the piece back out and be full MF running around 1 destroying a solo baal run with 300 mf no problem.

So I dont think you have even tried a zealot with my build. CUZ I WAS DOING IT before i said screw this mf crap nothing is dropping im just going for xp. When i finally get tired of it, Ill probably just hit a cash shop to get what i need… If i can buy enigma for 5 dollars then im totally with it at this point. Blizzard wont fix the drop rate and i need items or runes to get teh gear i need. The only other resort is Cash. I still need ZOD ZOD LO LO VEX VEX LO JAH COA BER BER . I know exactly how to play this game. Been playing it for 20 years. I dont care what a streamer thinks. Im always 100% correct.

Death + Atma > Ali Baba + Atma

but if we’re gonna talk about single player play with P1 setting…i’am not sure how that would go especially with no crushing blow effect

but even if you play for says offline…you got the /player 8 command to boost up your drop rate massively…technicly /player 7 cap it already so…8 is optionnal

so you still be handycapping your farming speed by not using /player 7-8 command for offline play…well do as you wish…if u prefer the painfull farm way thats on ya

In single player its not going to matter. If the immune is physical or your killing ball, when the atmas goes off is all that matters. You can kill him with just about any white 1 hander laying around on the ground in the throne. But Death cost a Gul rune and that is an extremely EXTREMELY hard rune to find. That is the highest rune ive found all season.

The sad part is, Gul is not considered a high rune, So i havent even found a High rune this season… Its just so pathetic. This is just extremely disappointing.

I was just putting the budget single player Mf Zealot build out there because thats the only way to get the MF on the character, which at this point, doesnt seem to matter unless your in a 8 player game.
I think i understand what your saying. Your doing the 8 man game thing. If your one of those that has 8 accounts in the same game, Then yea, sorc or zon for blasting end game quickly and efficiently and you get everything. But that is pay to play pay to win pay for items. But its ok because you payed blizzard.

because i have the zealot, I cannot play in the 8 player public games. Thats when zealot is just the complete wrong answer to farm with.

Me personally, Im not a pack rat, so all the low end crap that i find goes straight to the merchant for game gold. I dont have enough space to sit on a item thats worth 2 fg in my stash. I rarely ever get items that have value.

I only have 1 character on the account and thats all i probably ever will have. I dont care to play the rest of characters in this game. I came back to play a zealot in diablo 2… Instead im stuck with a pillow fighter that can only play solo mf games that drop nothing.

Zealot is the main reason why i dont play diablo 3 and i will not be buying D4… They really hate the zealot. He should have been one of the showcase characters for D4 and its not. Im not buying anything else from Blizzard entertainment at this point. And even after the microsoft takeover, i probably wont buy anything else Labeled diablo ever again. Im done spending money on these games. These streamers are completely toxic people to have to be forced to listen too or be forced to play the way they like it.

i dont have 8 accounts…simply join baal runs room…slap Nilathak…slap Trav…or wtv boss i want other than baal…profit

Andy = skill ring farms(5.5X highter than any other bosses for rings)
Trav = pure HR farm(hightest %) but not a solid spot for great Uniques
Meph + trav guys in Dur 3 + super chest behind Meph = HR(just as good as Trav) + some good unique items from Meph farm
Diablo = Uniques items Farm with average chance for HR
Nilathak = Key farm + average chance for HR + high chance for Uniques items
Pindleskin = Unique items farm + small chance for HR
Eldritch&Shenk(small chance for HR + some okay drops)
Arc Sanctuary(dead end super chests for HR + H Key Farm(easier area but not top rewards for uniques items//HR)…also worth killing elite ghosts packs(average for HR)

lvl 85 Area for certain super Uniques(ilvl 84+ items)
Chaos Sanc(No 1 spot)
The Pit//Ancients Tunnel(No 2 spot)
Wolrdstone Keep(No 3 spot due to being a bad idea with the gloams down there)

edit: with 2.4 coming up there be more areas that will become ilvl 85(see patch notes)…out of them only few stand out

top 2 new areafor 2.4(ilvl 85 areas)
Ruined Temple(high concentraton of mobs + 1 super unique mob)(super easy find)
Arachnid Lair(next to spider wp)…lots of mobs + 1 super unique mob

other areas which are a little more of a pain to locate but worth noting)
Icy Cellar(1 super chest)
Drifter Cavern(1 super chest)
Abaddon(1 super chest)
Pit of Acheron(1 super chest)
Infernal Pit(1 super chest)
Stony Tomb…1 super unique mob

not worth going to
swampy pit 1-3(gloams and dolls fill…awful place)
sewer 1(no super unique or super chest)…waste of time
disused fane(no super unique or super chest + low amount of mobs)

questionnable if worth it…prob not but meh
underground passage 2

edit: fixed some texts to the added text(mentionning unique without stating weither i meant an item or mob was probably confusing)…also added 1 part to arc sanc that i forgot to write about

edit 2:added missing text that i noted…and also wanted to point that after 2.4 goes live…farm order for ilvl 84-85 areas for super uniques items that require an area to be ilvl 85 to spawn will change

order after 2.4 goes live for super unique items hunt
Chaos Sanc(stays no 1 for super unique items farm)

Ruined Temple&Arachnid Lair become No 2 spot since quicker access)

No 3 spot The Pit//Ancients Tunnel//Icy Cellar/Drifter Cavern/Abaddon/Pit of Acheron//Infernal Pit//Stony Tomb

No 4: Worldstone Keep/Swampy Pit…if you wanna deal with gloams and dolls lol…

You forgot to mention the top spot in the game for farming… There is no incentive to to anywhere else in game…

You can find anything in the Throne of destruction. It throws you 5 Waves of bosses that can drop it all. Then you get to hit the loot pinata in the end.

I only run end game now… All those places your talking about farming are pretty much redundant to me as my build only needs some runes and whites. Everything else i need people just charsi when they find it in low rolls. LOL

Andy = skill ring farms(5.5X highter than any other bosses for rings)

The only thing i would need from her is an essence since she drop trash for me.

Trav = pure HR farm(hightest %) but not a solid spot for great Uniques

I do hit this from time to time since its easily accessible from the waypoint. But i never ever ever ever find ANYTHING there. Plus BAAL will drop me a wave of these turds in the throne room.

Meph + trav guys in Dur 3 + super chest behind Meph = HR(just as good as Trav) + some good unique from Meph farm

Again this turd isnt dropping anything special either. Just an essence. Throne still superior.

Diablo = Uniques Farm with average chance for HR

Oh look another essence boss for me. Nuff said.

Nilathak = Key farm + average chance for HR + high chance for Uniques
The key ?. Thats all hes dropped for me in like 4 months. Everything else has been charsi food.

Pindleskin = Unique farm + small chance for HR
He got nerfed long long time ago. Not even worth the time. Ive run him several hundred times for nothing already. Ill stick to the throne.

Eldritch&Shenk(small chance for HR + some okay drops)
Arc Sanctuary(dead end super chests for HR + H Key Farm(easier area but not top rewards for uniques//HR)

Waste of time. Your losing XP screwing around with these low level bosses for nothing.

lvl 85 Area for certain super Uniques(ilvl 84+ items)
Chaos Sanc(No 1 spot)

More waste.

The Pit//Ancients Tunnel(No 2 spot)

More waste.

Wolrdstone Keep(No 3 spot due to being a bad idea with the gloams down there)

I do farm here.

I usually just go to worldstone 2 and just walk to baal killing everything in the way. That way im not wasting time farming low bosses for nothing. You have the same opportunity to find it all ,

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR ME

IM NOT WASTING TIME MFING LOW BOSSES FOR TRASH LOOT THAT HASNT DROPPED ANYTHING OF VALUE FOR ME WHEN ITS COSTING ME XP.

I only do TOP end game. Thats it. I cant lose xp to waste time looking for essence to make a token. I can just get a green token and trade it for 2 others. Boom, Skip the trash drops and low drop rates,

See i take the shortcut, Cuz my IQ higher.
