Everyone is playing sorcerer just for the teleport, everyone in duels has enigma or you lose, magic finding on other characters is a waste of time, certain builds are not viable just because they can not be combined with enigma…
so much about D2 revolves around being able to teleport. If you are not a sorcerer you better grind 500 hours for an enigma or you suck. Just look at these teleport runs, does that look balanced to you? It’s not even gaming at that point since you are not even fighting, it’s basically just a slot machine that you are constantly spinning while the rest has to spend 10 times the ammount of time to get that kinda loot.

Alwas has been like that. You play sorc first cuz fast farming and teleport. Once you have stuff farmed and got enigma, you roll paladin. Thats pretty much whole gameplay of D2 with barely any endgame.
Dunno what has been ppl expecting.

lol with everything you can complain about you’re complaining about 20 years old PvP balance?
Also with all the games out there you really wanna PvP in this one?
It’s the same as doing PvP in Warframe, why would you do that?

No you don’t. You clearly don’t play Diablo 2 for dueling if you think you don’t need it.
I agree, but there are a lot of militant people who never stopped playing the game that will crucify any suggestion of balance changes or other. If they ever do new paid content they should include a rebalancing but keep an option of the old balance so people can play a v1.14 or whatever character or play a new character so all the people who don’t like change can stick to the 20 year old version of the game. Kind of how you can choose “D2 Classic” or “Lord of Destruction” for your character when you create them

There are other fun builds too.
It’s just new people wanting everything after 1 week and be able to roll on the game…I have 2 friends who came for D3 and it’s exactly like this.
I’m not bashing D3, I loved it and played a couple thousands of hours in it, it’s just that D2 is a game that takes time. Play the game, don’t get PowerLeveled, experiment with the different classes, understand the mechanics of the game.
Jawazon can destroy a lot of things, Fishymancer is fun, www barb or frenzy barb are cool too.
If something is op, it’s probably more Hammerdin than sorc, given the low number of immunes to blessed hammer and the more tankier class than sorcs.

I come from D2, I didn’t like D3 and I will skip D4. I’ve had this opinion for the past 20 years and probably for the next 20 years to come

SC is for bad players, in HC you cant randomly teleport and its not that strong. But I agree, just balance the game a bit. Not sure how tho, some skills could be better in SC than in HC so does the game have to be balancing only attending SC?

My char has died a few times because of random crash, especially in cow lvl. Would be cool indeed to play HC only to lose your char because the game crashes.

You should be embarrassed

So much BS in this topic that it’s just cringe to read.
Every class has it’s unique mechanics or way to play the game even without teleport.
You must be so narrow minded to create this topic at all.

This is pure ignorance and lack of knowledge in the game. If you have ever played before enigma existed, you would know every character can hold their own in one way or another. Back then, there were 9 amazons for every 1 sorceress. A good zon with resistances would wreck a sorc with teleport.
What you say is true about early game d2r, strictly for pvm. Roll a sorc for mf until you can afford enigma, but don’t bring pvp into this.

I thought D3 players complained that D2 was to slow? Now it is too fast? D3 has 6 seconds cooldown on teleport maybe you prefer that game

Agree here, enigma is not needed at all. People just think tele does all the job all alone. Rclick boom, like cheats.
Still remember leagues back in the days of 2006. Beautiful times. CL.exe FoH ftw.
I as a veteran have to agree… I don’t feel like playing anything else but Sorceress because everything else just feels like waste of time… The teleport simply makes Sorceress the only logical choice… Now that we are making a remake of D2R maybe we could consider to add a traveling skill to all classes? I am sure only the most hardcore people would dislike that or the people that are lucky enough to have an enigma… I mean come on let’s at least make every class equal on that point so they are all viable as MF chars… I would actually love that after playing this game for 20 years.

Why ignorance? I played D2 at launch and mainly did PvP. Duels were a lot more fun without everyone teleporting.
