For the algorithm! Ran t-zone Baal for a full hour today and not once essence dropped. But one kill did yield a shako and my first ever tiara (wish it was a diadem but still cool!)
Hot take for D2R, what if they made it possible to make runewords in set/unique weapons. It wouldn't do to much for casters but immagene a DOOM runeworde in the runemaster axe for example, or just a Strenght in a low level unique weapon and stuff like that.
@@MrLlamaSC Cheers mate! 🤗 Love the guided play throughs. Took me 20 years to beat the game solo on hell difficult; your guidance was instrumental in my success
In regards to splash damage... say a mechanic was added to barbarians where you have a *chance* to cleave on most attacks, 100% on berserk and 0% on concentrate. Balanced or no?
I think having it on most attacks still kinda gets away from the identity. I think something like just adding to berserk would be interesting, though that skill is already great. Maybe adding splash in a straight line for bash and everything it gets knocked into could be interesting. Just stuff to make it different
@@MrLlamaSC Even adding that chance to cleave function to 2h weapons only, that'd give 2 handers a bit of identity AND an advantage over dual wielding.
I feel like base diablo 2 is great but it has so many mechanics to me that was outdated even when it came out. Casters feel far superior to anything because melee has to take it slow, they have to have decent attack rating, they have to have big health pools and res. They go through so many steps just to be a slow bad version of anything that's a caster. I don't mind the power difference but whenever I play melee and wanna take it slow I still find myself needing more attack rating because I forget about it and I end up slapping one dude for 6 attacks before even hitting.
Honestly, if you have the aptitude to be able to count, you’re probably better off focusing on poker. The casino doesn’t care how much you win, since you’re playing against other players. They have zero incentive to make it harder for you to win. And the variance in counting is just a big as it is in poker.
7:27 in essence, D2 was never intended to be the AoE focused hnnng speed fest that D3, D4 and I would say PoE became. Moving toward that "no danger everything dies in seconds" AoE style takes away from what D2 is - this is proven by the absurdity of them adding Mosaic and making PS assassin essentially be an extention of modern AoE farming simulators. Thats all that comes at the end of that path. It becomes boring, repetitive and uninspiring very fast.

Make Greens Relevant Again. Make Unique Relevant Again. MGRA. MURA. Haha.... all seriousness would be cool.
Please do:
Fire Claw Werewolf
Mual Werebear ( w/summon, Barbs/Thorns?)
Physical Spear Amazon
Lightening spear Amazon
Vengeance paladin (D2R version)
Vengeance is next up i think! Then maybe some spear?

@MrLlamaSC what is your game gonna be called ?
what is llama's headphones?
best choice for all chars :D. thanks mrlllama.
did they buff the exp or something? dont remember getting that much exp from act1 NIGHTmare.. multiple lvls just killing them in a few mins
I think he was on p8 for act1
Killing on players 8 gives a lot more experience. The monsters are of course harder but hammer damage is just nasty good
for the algorithm! Happy thanksgiving!
Not having splash on every char is good in multiplayer to support team work but in single player its rough.
Got D2R on Sale 2 days ago. Running my first Hammerdin. Thanx Llama, hitting those dual spirits soon :)
See that thumbnail - that's where my avatar came from
Never knew!
Hell yeah
Conversion pally with thorns

True. I also love poker
