With runes I think each difficulty should drop level appropriate runes for that difficulty, along with bosses in each difficulty dropping level appropriate gear for that difficulty. I.E. Baal in hell should never ever drop fucking blue gear for a level 20 character.

The problem is the game was too flawed from birth. I do however think that making gear easier to obtain will leave dupers with nothing to do really. Mainly though I really disagree with people who think that only the most hardcore grinders should have good gear, seriously guys this is a hack and slash game. Go play everquest if you want that kind of play environment. Also it is not like this game requires "real" skill. WoW and EQ are way harder in the end game and for some reason it is still easier to gear up in those games then this one, at least gear up in a legit way...

zomg..... unicorns? why not giraffes?

Fucking awesome my account just got stolen somehow. Fucking great. There goes months of grinding for gear out the window. Now my druid and merc are fully naked....

I do agree, thats where battlegrounds and harder end game content comes into play =)

bosses should drop things based on ur mf... otherwise mf is useless...? explain your point? and plz dont bring wow into this... idc how wow does it.

Well sorry buddy, but WoW has none of the problems D2 has. Imo MF should be taken completely out of the game. Bosses should drop items based on your character level in each difficulty. For instance in hell at level 90 Baal has a 10% chance to drop the grandfather etc... etc.. No more shit drops from bosses at all. Also have the countess drop runes based on your character level. Normal countess level 1 - 25 runes, nightmare 25- 49, hell 49 and up.
With those two small changes I guarantee you it would balance loot out. Make runewords easier to make, and essentially make buying gear with your dollars IRL not worth it... :thumbsup:

Yeah, or have a system similar to WoW. Where bosses don't drop shit based on your MF.
Diablo 2 is a serious love/hate thing with me.

Yeah the economy is pure shit. Hopefully 1.13 will fix some of these issues =)

For weapons, I like Last Wish a lot if is super effective and the CB is outstanding. Also botd rocks too with the 30 to stats and the 14 life steal.. Also I don't know how good it is in comparison to CoH, but fort is pretty nice with the ED and all.

That shouldent slow ya down. Who cares that you wont be playing that much but at least you will be able to see th new stuff.

New "stuff" will probably be more bullshit "stuff" like the diablo clone and uber tristam. Both of which I will never see. I hate how new content in diablo translates into " without ebaying duped gear, you will never be able to solo our awesome "uber" quest".... Seriously as rare as high level runes are, without a shitload of dupes no one would be doing these runs.. I would rather just have fun on NL playing with my GF.

The mobs in act 4 that cast iron maiden. I really hate one shotting myself.

Frenzy for pvm for sure. Personally I would use last wish and a botd. Don't worry so much about eth ones. Cause they are super crazy expensive.

Why woudl you not start over? Theres going to be all new stuff that I dont think you can do on non ladder.....why not check out the new stuff?

I am a full time student in the medical field... Also my GF has toons on non-ladder that are really gimp. So I am going to try and help that along. She is the main reason I will not restart. Also the fact that I will only have time to play maybe 3-4 times a week. -

Just wondering. If you guys were trying to attempt to solo Uber Tristam, what would be the optimal gear for each slot? I will break down what I currently have.

helm: Jalals with an um in it
Amulet: 20 maras
Armor: nigma and eth 4k defense fort
rings: ravens and carrion wind
ik gloves belt and boots, I do have gores, but the bonuses I get from IK are a little bit better i think
Sheild: spirit
weapon: LW zerker 65% cb
Only other notable is a decent torch and 26mf gheeds.

I know I am still broke =(

I am getting some better stuff though. Offer still open if you are quitting when the reset happens.

<3

I think that original concept for 1.13 is completely different than what they are doing now. Now this patch will be exactly that... Too bad we won't see it for quite some time.

haha my post always gets deleted~!
