Quote fromNo it does not. It can't lower it enough. It lowers resists, but it can't break a cold immune.
Anyway sure if you're level 97 with items given to you everything is fine and dandy, but I'm talking about a single player playthrough. When you reach hell what level would you be? 60ish?
I always managed to run into a monster that would break gameplay. Sure I can reload and it'll be gone or I can go back and grind, but I'm still having to avoid that monster by exiting the game.
ah k, i wasn't too sure about that one.
To me diablo was always a multiplayer game. I agree with you that single player is much much harder than bnet play simply due to the shortage of items available to you and also you dont have other players helping you. i still wouldnt mind seeing immunes just perhaps they can find a way where they dont have them on single player (or 1 player bnet games), however, when playing in a game with multiple players then they can start bringing some in which will then mean that you need to actually work as a team. Just my opinion tho. I also liked the fact how on bnet with more players in the game the more harder the monsters got and better chance of drops. that was possible in single player aswell if you type in /player 8 or something, dont remember.
like i said ive never made a cold sorc, i only ever used chars that didnt really have any trouble regarding immunities like hdins, nova infinity sorcs, psn, bone and summoner necros and smiters lol

I guess the main reason why ppl don't make them is simply because there are many other classes that are better. wind druids are awesome lol.

I understand what you're saying but put it this way, do not even think/care about what items drop for other players. All characters will still have the exact same specific % chance to find an item (not taking into account mf). From what I gather from reading the op just say for example boss#1 always drops 1 rare item and 3 random items, the drops won't be split among all the players as in only 1 of the players will see the 1 rare item, instead all players will have their own drop roll and each will get a rare item and 3 randoms.

I haven't read all the posts beyond this point, but I agree completely with what has been said here. keeping mf is a must. Even with high mf gear if you look thru mf calculators you will see the odds of finding certain items is still extremely high. So if somebody decides they want to put in some legit hours and mf then they deserve to at least have slightly better odds of finding items. There is nothing forcing anyone to mf.
The reason why the economy is like it is has nothing to do with mfing. It's all to do with duping and boting, simple as that. I also like the idea of runes in theory. In theory like gamma11 said they are suppose to be extremely rare, so only the truely godly, perhaps you can call them lucky, player has an enigma etc etc. Not every single player. When I think about it duping & botting is the reason why the stat point system has become obsolete aswell. Because everyone can easily get enigmas and annis etc they don't need to put stats in strenght etc so it just goes straight into vitality. However if duping and boting never existed, then people would still be forced to put points in strenght and dex to equip certain items, at least on their first chars while they're still finding items they would.

Yeah I love the riffs psycroptic come up with. Only one guitarist aswell. And the drummer is soooo crazy. Seeing the drummer live like blew my mind he sounds like a drum machine, so fast & technical haha and at the end of one of the songs he started doing this really crazy high speed breakbeat pattern. :cool:
haha yeah I sure have heard of necrophagist before. I used to be into them a couple of years ago, not so much anymore but still he (mohammad) is very talented. If I remember correctly one of the albums he made entirely by himself. Same with gorelord, he made an album entirely by himself aswell.

more so brutal tech death. my fave are psycroptic (saw them live like 2 weeks ago

max es infinity nova sorcs are so good. I had one and it was my fave pvp char, so fun to use. I've always been a sucker for those circular move chars like poison nova necs & hammerdins. Could kill 95% of people in pub games easyyyy. The only downfall tho, and this counts for all sorcs, trap sins etc, is that it's possible for people to just throw on all sorbing gear and have stacked res so you literally can't hurt them. So the only chars I couldnt defeat were people with mass sorb on, so I would just leave those guys alone and other players in the game would just take them out for me lol.
Max es with insane mana is the best, makes you tank more than any other character, it's like having 6k mana with crazy mana regeneration and 1k+ life so basically 7k life all up that regenerates lol. And nova itself is a stun move, so you stun lock them and they can't move. All sorcs & necros would die in 1 or 2 novas, barbs & smiters prob around 4-7 but with the stun lock they can't move so you just spam it & they're dead. Also a couple times I would 1 hit sorcs etc with just my thunderstorm alone lol. It's also fun to just throw on cyclone armor from the infinity and get fade to pvp with.
anyways I haven't read all the posts here, but if you want a character that is effective vs all chars, cannot be sorbed, cannot be blocked & isn't a hdin or smiter then I recommend a Bone Necro. Trap sins, fc zons, all sorcs can all be sorbed & stacked res and you always have people in games who just have loads of sorbing gear in their stash for such occassions. But bone necros can't be blocked or sorbed. They may do a fair bit less dmg than other classes, and they're alot harder to use than almost all other classes, but a very skilled player with a bone nec is one of the hardest classes to pvp against.

Well we certainly could use a barb if you happen to make one. Let me know.
count yourself in for paladin. Yeah im wondering what will become of hammerdins aswell in this new patch. Be interesting to see if they nerf them. I sort of have a feeling they won?t yet at the same time wouldn?t be surprised if they do lol.
Yeah sorry I had a chat with him and we both ended up agreeing to play on West.
We just got somebody from our jsp post fill sorc, sorry. If you can play sin that would be great. Count yourself in.
JNM simply just stands for Jez n Matt. The names of: myself and my friend; the two leaders & founders. I know it doesn?t follow along the lines of most clan names but personally I don?t really like those, most of them seem too over the top haha like random example DAJ: Death and Justice or along those lines.
Our future plans are mainly directed towards diablo3 actually. We intend to build up a strong, trustworthy & tight clan so when Diablo3 hits the shelves we will already be running at full force from day1. We also certainly want to keep the clan 100% legit. Almost every clan these days on d2 hacks in one way or another, however, we plan on keeping it fully legit. I believe this will pay-off when diablo3 comes out as it will not have any hacking / duping when it first comes out (and hopefully it never will if blizzard can help it) so we will already be experienced at playing legit (and trust me there is a massive difference from the two). Imo most other clans are so used to hacking /duping etc and just being able to have a bot mf for them 24/7 they won?t be as prepared/effective at putting in the hard work it takes when playing legit than we will be. So come d3 time we will be competitive with all the other top clans.
and sorry for the crappy formatting. i typed it up in word and can't be bothered to fix it all

also summoner n boners are extremely good if made well. other really really good chars would have to be wind druids and sorcs (max energy shield with insane mana is the best).

I'm looking for a few people to play with and join clan JNM for when the new patch comes out and ladder resets. We will be playing on USWest.
Me and my clan mate have decided when the new ladder resets we will get one person to play each type of character. Necro & Druid are already filled, so looking for 5 people, a Paladin, Barb, Sin, Zon & Sorc. The idea is we all restart together and when somebody finds a barb item for example, we then give it to the player using the barb and vice versa for all the other characters. So we share items, help each other out n whatnot and this way we can focus on having 1 really good character each instead of having several not so good characters.
We are looking for experienced players as me and my clan mate have played on and off for many years. And we're going to be keeping the clan 100% legit!
so please post up if you're interested, or msg me on bnet. My account is JNM-JVW my friends is JNM-MMK We have also posted this on jsp.
peace
