It is a long lasting buff. /shrug
But please, do continue excusing shitty Blizzderp writing.
Not nearly long enough to last 24h, especially not while sleeping. And how paranoid do you have to be to recast same spell every 10 minutes of your life over and over?!

Which she can break. Never mind that you can get a second element and/or a mercenary.
Assassins tend to come in when you're sleeping. Are you suggesting she was sleeping with the merc?

You are aware that the length in game is basically completely and utterly arbitrary? D1 Mana Shield, which is essentially the same spell, had an infinite duration until you ran out of mana from taking too much damage. Who is to say how long the buff actually lasts story wise instead of game mechanics?
Or do you believe that all characters would be able to spam potions and town portals 24/7 as well, instantly and without any kind of need to use any motions or having to take a look where exactly they are when taken from the backpack?

That is a cop out when you ran out of arguments. You are one that started using game mechanics to defend your stupid logic. Then lets use them as they are. Either that or we can both image it how we want it to be. You can change duration and I can change effects.

So which duration is it, indefinite like D1 or 10-20 minutes like in D2? How is that a cop out? YOU are the one who brought up in game mechanics. So, I am utilizing the same argument to form a counter argument for your pathetic attempt to excuse Blizzshits terrible writing.

It's just typical Blizzard plot recycling, Cairne is a powerful hero in WarCraft and he gets assasinated too.

Unlikely since the clutter comes from mechanics that are simply not present in D2, like multiplying projectiles many times over thanks to stuff like GMP, spell on crit and echo. It is insanity what kind of loops you can create that are feeding off each other in ways impossible in D2. You can also achieve much higher casting rates due to this and it is getting worse every season.

It doesn't matter what those effects come from, old 3D magic graphics look like someone vomited all over your screen, just like how PoE happens to look. Spammy games like D2 would never have been able to avoid looking like vomit with old 3D graphics.

D2R has modern graphics. If D2 were made with old 3D graphics it would've looked something like PoE, 100%.

Go home you are drunk.

D2 has 2d graphics
D2R has 3D graphics that look like old 2D graphics.

Still doesn't look like POE garbage seizure inducer, everything is clean and you know what is happening on screen all times.
