Diablo 2: Resurrected remaster

[Drakortha]

Diablo II Ressurected is on sale until end of the day btw, if you feel like getting it, now's the time.

I got it, It's pretty neat, very beautiful game.

Yeah yeah, I already had it in my shopping cart for the Switch. Thanks for pushing me over the line

Fire, Lightning and Poison, don't really do anything fancy or cool.

I'd argue that lightning is both fancy and cool because of what it does. Having a lighting chain an entire horde is cool visually and enemies who do lightning damage are the bane of HC because lightning can kill you quickly if you're not careful. I also enjoy doing poison builds because draining bosses' health is a good survivability method.

The only way to play a balanced, good version of Diablo 2 is to play PD2 or some other big balance/overhaul mod. Blizzard has no interest in fixing the balance, and in fact are incentivised not to, because players will complain, because they like the game in it's broken state.

I've actually started playing Project Diablo II recently and it is fucking fantastic. I couldn't return to Vanilla/Resurrected afterward.

I think the gayest thing about Resurrected is the lack of LAN and TCP/IP. Blizz does not seem interested in accommodating modders at all, which is very lame in a world where you can play many games multiplayer with mods.

My point is that Cold can chill, freeze AND shatter. There's a reason Coldsorc is best Sorc. Cold attacks don't merely kill your enemies, they outright gimp/stop them, and destroy bodies, fucking over reanimators and necros.

Poison is good because it drains enemy health over time? Ok nice, but usually, more damage instantly is better, unless your build is oriented that way.

For example, imagine if Poison weakened enemies, or Fire scared them away, or Lightning had a chance to stun them.

You mixed those words up

In general CC is overpowered in Diablo 2, the reason people don't use it is because its so easy for most builds to output huge damage numbers and kill whole screens in seconds. Cold is good because its one of the few abilities that attaches CC onto AoE damage.
