:wtf: It's not everyday one sees a Barbarian from D2X.

Apparently +10 to battle orders, +10 to battle command, +5 to howl etc.

Only level 1 spear mastery however.

In the abstract (outside of politics) there was a remarkable synchronicity between that guy and the barbarian appearance/ethos found in the game and lore. It was remarkably uncanny.

Most importantly, the Q Anon shaman guy is more in-line with the Diablo 2 druid than the barbarian. Dude's decked out in animal skins and furs.

Barbarians have a cloth kilt and boots. You can equip heavy plate armor and it looks like just that; metal plate armor. He never has any animal skins draped over himself no matter what kind of armor you equip.

Both the druid and the barbarian have class-exclusive helms with horns in them. That's the only point I can't contend.

edit: if he died during the guided tour of the capitol building, would the trump shaman have a chance to drop Wolfhowl? That's explicitly barb loot.

There's about a month left in the season, and it seems like most players have realized that there isn't anything to do once you gear out an mf (or dclone hunter) character, and stopped playing. What's the point in farming loot if there isn't really a pvp scene, and it's all going to be gone in 5 weeks anyway?

Project D2 is a mod, is it not? B.net installer forces latest version, and the mods are usually based on a version one or two back.

I've been playing. No one else is as far as I can tell. I have a group of 3 other dudes that I play with though and we regularly farm maps and stuff together 3-4 days a week

the addition of the trade site has been pretty great and I feel like there's enough new skills and builds that it's really fun to roll new characters and try to optimize them. hoping the next season brings some more endgame stuff and some more interesting builds.

Poe released their best league in a long time and everyone swapped to that. Pd2 had a great first season, I'm sure the next one will improve things even more. Hopefully they go a bit further with endgame. No real incentive to run maps at the moment.

I'm waiting on next ladder to really go all out on PD2. Got my full trang'oul's a while ago, which was my goal. No vampire form, but honestly, despite how cool it looked, it never was any good.

Might start as a hammerdin holy bolt paladin (depending on if they're still relevant) next ladder. Never really tried one yet.

im playing a holy bolt pally and it's pretty cool. still questing through NM tho. last time I played D2 was 1.10 so this is a big departure from that.

i wish there was a duel league or something though. but nowadays the items are so crazy that idk if that's even workable. Back in the day I played in a league called 76 Legit (due to white rings being level 77 req?) and it was super fun, it was also the era where you could build a good pvp guy with a handful of SOJs worth a gear, and the returns from being Perfectly Slotted were pretty minimal and easily compensated for by Being Good At The Game.

Owned a fuckload of people with max DR bone and poison necro. NOthing more rewarding than getting a huge ball of bone spirits chasing a bowazon, getting close enough to hit em with the prison and then BLAMMO, overkilled. also killing barbs by running around spamming poison nova and slowly killing them lol

long live palapk/1 for thrilling zealot duels. i made a 4 frame zeal concadin with a fury phaseblade who was loving badass. there was also a regular on there who ran defiance who i will never forget. gently caress all smiters in palapk, btw.

Zealadins are the best. I always made a hammerdin for botting, smiter for ubers, blizzard sorc for manual MF with nothing but +MF gear for 800+ MF and a Zealadin for manual MF/key runs that are way more fun and less tedious.

Sometimes I’d even just make a Zealer with a few points in smiter skills, enough to do ubers just fine, or just use tokens to switch back and forth whenever I’m rich enough, since they can use pretty much the same gear. I think I used an eth Breath of the Dying zerk axe with an eth bugged Exile vortex, or a HoZ/HoJ until I could afford them.

Even as a hardcore minmax machine, I can’t resist making one every season. All the wealth generated by my money printing machines were essentially used to support my Zealer(and/or my brother’s javazon). You know, builds that are actually fun to play(but require absurdly expensive gear to be viable in the javazon’s case).

What are some fun classes/builds that are insanely powerful that require ridiculously valuable gear? I need something to use the massive wealth that I accumulate, simply to give it all purpose to motivate me, if anything else.

super sucks that there's no QOL stuff then. feels so sucky to not have a shared stash and stuff in 2021. how do people mule items? muling items anymore? hosed up.

thanks all!

I was in a game yesterday, my first trade, buying a HoBL, and the guy in there was super friendly and hooked me up with all sorts of gear, so now my guy is like fully slotted other than skillers and enimga, things of that nature. but he was able to peep my gear and give replacements. I remember being able to do this with maphack back in the day, so I guess there's still a way to do that. Not that im interested in maphack really, but im just thinking there's a load of tools and plugins that seasoned players got. like when i play UO after all these years it's like basically known that you gotta run 20 different plugins and assist programs and poo poo on the side lol. old game stuff.

e: also when i watch ppl on twitch they have a POE style loot filter. i see the pd2 launcher has a "coming soon" loot filter thing but apparently ppl sideload this somehow

this poo poo also gave me a flashback to when i was playing in 76 legit and after months and months of pindlebot / shopbot etc poo poo i finally fully slotted my experimental pvp elemental druid. 10 skill gcs, the works. then i got banned literally 10 mins after i muled his epic gear over to him and flexed like goku.

there's a lot of QoL stuff in pd2 that isnt well documented. when you're in town, hover your cursor over someone and hit the zero key (not the one on the numpad). that'll show you their gear.

also re: loot filters i'd recommend downloading kryszard's from here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kryszard-POD/Kryszard-s-PD2-Loot-Filter/main/item.filter all you do is replace the contents of default.filter in your PD2 directory with the text in this file. then hit ctrl+R or just relaunch the game.
