The endgame is about farming gear on particular spots, but you don’t need to follow guides blindly. That’s why is important to experiment on normal and nightmare how to play and test it out on hell. If your build can’t work on hell, most likely weren’t a great build for it. The only difference between a good build and optimized build is about time. You could re-spec afterwards farming bosses but you really need a decent build to be able to do it. You have 2 chances to make mistakes and then, sort things out at the end. Because you will not have deep understanding about the class neither the skills themselves.ĭ2 was really punitive at beginning, with patches and expansion became really forgiving game. Like you said, Die-hard SSF, my advice would be pick useful hints but don’t blindly follow the guides, guides are optimized ways to play, but for starters are really bad. Normal is about learn the game, nightmare is about test how well you learned the game and hell is about manage to survive and surpass your foes, some will play META others will sort things out to make things “workable”. On hell things gets more trickier and would make your build workable or useless. On normal you have the thrilling of the discovery, on Nightmare you’re experienced in some ways but you can handle it with almost anything you want to try. If you learn enough you can sort things out and make a 3rd experimental one but being a bit conservative one. Then on the last re-spec you should follow guides, because you can’t mess the build anymore and your chances to experiment are ended. You could go through nightmare just fine. Then use your first re-spec on a build that you liked. You could go through normal difficulty really fine and learn the class really well. So my advice, in your first run on a class explore all skills(one point each). But later they implemented several QoL changes. In earlier days of d2, following guides could be game changing because you couldn’t re-spec. But when you start following one build you, most of the time, don’t learn the class and neither the game. The first experience on D2 often are great to experience new stuff, is fine getting some tips. I think the issue was because you followed guides. The fact that we still haven’t gotten a patch notes or at the very least a changelog of things they meant to change from 1.14 shows that the support is not going to be great for the game. I would love to see them iron out some of the more glaring issues of d2 but i doubt it will ever happen some things people have been asking blizzard for for 15+ years and i just don’t see them changing much. That being said d2 is the superior game imo but i do think it has pain points that make it less of an appealing game to many unless you grew up on it. The big difference really is that d2 you progress slowly and can’t really do it solo were as d3 they give you the gear arguably too fast and then slow it down too much.īoth d2 and d3 have problematic endgame but if you find d3 too grindy of a game d2 is much much worse repetition and with fewer viable builds for end game content. In d3 they let you get to a higher level of gear quicker and have more levels of difficulty and it is easily done solo but takes a long time to get a “perfect” set of gear. In d2 it is very easy to get to a gear level you can farm nm and do some parts of hell, it’s tough to get a gear level to farm hell efficiently and its near impossible to get a “perfect” or near “perfect” set of gear solo. People will tell you d2 has many different end games but it doesn’t really it’s just people do different things with what they get from doing endgame.ĭiablo 2s endgame is the same as diablo 3s endgame only on a different scale, both end games are grinding for the perfect gear set but both the speed at which you get the gear and the curve to how you get gear is different. D2 is what it is, and I got into it with open eyes, wanting to see what the experience would be like. I wander if others are in the same spot like me. I would find a talk in Youtube to listen to while progressing, but can barely make an hour. Now, in Act V on NM, I am getting more and more bored. Got used to the controls and the WASD tricks for my curses, no problem. The last one I quit until release to prevent burnout.Īfter reading for years that D2 was one of the greatest, I preordered when it became available, and was hoping that it would keep me busy until the release of Succubus, first person combat in Hell, in early October.Īlways being in love with caster/undead themes, I picked the Necro, looked at a guide and launched on, offline, as a die-hard SSF. I also have several hundred hours in PoE and Grim Dawn each. Spent several hundred hours there, enjoying it more pre-GR than post because infinite difficulty is not my cup of tea. My first flirt with Diablo was with D3 RoS, when I read that they were getting rid of the auction house.
