This stupid piece of shit. There is never a time where you would ever want to use weaken.

Marius followed the Wanderer.

Too easy

The whole genre has a hard time catching up.

Sometime I should actually beat that game. Got to act 4 ages ago when it was new, every time I try again to play now I get pulled away at act 2 and play something else. Just wanna skele some motherfuckers to death and see act 5 myself.

Isn't that required to get decrepify or whatever that bigger curse was?

Everyone tried to copy it afterwards.

god I love the diablo 2 cover, something about a hooded skelly with a shit eating grin that makes me wanna grind the same locations and left-click a whole lot

Battlenet deleting my characters

There's just something about Diablo II that's so mesmerising.
I guess it's because they cared about the game.

If something is only useful as a pre-requisite, then it shouldn't exist. There is no reason to put more than one point in weaken ever. It doesn't get any better, and its base stats are garbage. I can find a use for any other skill in the game except for weaken.

Being a clickfest hack-and-slash.

nothing, but eventually bots made online less enjoyable. they weren't too bad, just jumping in your game and spamming urls like CHEAPD2LOOT.COM and then fucking off

Wasn't there not much reason to put more than 1 point into any of the curses?

I'm not only talking about it being a one-pointer, I'm also talking about how it is completely useless. Every other curse on the tree can be useful in very specific instances except for weaken. Weaken is so bad that the time spent casting it and that it overrides other curses makes it a disadvantage to use.

Ah, then yeah I agree. It should've been changed, especially since Blizzard was on top of keeping the game running for as long as they did.

Dim vision is a lifesaver on hell as a necro. The ranged mobs WILL fuck your shit up.

Atmosphere is first class. Especially thanks to the soundtrack.

worse than the first game

All of the curses are pretty nice (except for weaken of course).

>amplify damage: obvious choice for corpse explosion/skeletons/amazons
>dim vision: amazing range denial
>iron maiden: oblivion knights are known for getting the best use out of this, but necros can use it effectively with bone prison at least in normal difficulty
>terror: ideal for obnoxious ranged monsters that you don't want to bother with and slow moving monsters
>confuse: safest way to fight a huge pack of ranged monsters (ie gloams) if you are using summons
>life tap: every melee character uses this
>attract: safest way to fight a clustered pack of ranged monsters (ie gloams) if you are using summons
>decrepify: makes bosses useless
>lower resist: perfect for poisonnecros (used to be good for boners too but they removed -magic resist% from it)

the keybind system

It works fine. You only use one hand to control your character, so you have your whole other hand to control the keybinds. It isn't like you are ever doing gigantic combos based on hitting 12 different skills at once.

The most boring gameplay of all time happened.

iron maiden/skelly/revive was a good build in pre 1.06

Became a loot grinder more than making due with what you have while traversing a sprawling dungeon into hell. While the splits among all of the magical attribute items can be interesting, it just makes it so certain magical items like blue ones will often get ignored later in the game since they straight up won't have the modifiers you are looking for compared to anything else. Compared to Diablo 1 every magical item had a potential in being very useful to the player.

>Diablo games are already casual
>they decide to make them even MORE casual
>3 is now so casual that it cannot be enjoyed

>Diablo 1
Dark atmospheric hack and slash with RPG elements where the levels all felt like a unique step further into hell itself, none ever overstaying their welcome
>Diablo 2
Grinder
>Diablo 3
Casualized grinder with a bad everything

If that is your only problem, you can easily fix it by going back to Diablo 2 classic. Affixes having different chances of spawning were a later addition to the game. You can also easily remove biased affixes by going into the txt files and setting frequency to be equal for all affixes.

diablo 2 was fun but the new direction was actually fucking retarded and corrupted the subgenre for ages to come

overrated gook clicker for autists with ADHD

Pretty much this. There haven't been any good clickers since.

spot fucking on

literally no difference between this game and cookie clicker

>clickers

Wow we have a confirmed ARPG expert here.

3 is only fun for drunk couch co op

Not enough ways to handle elemental immunities, synergies that dictate entire builds, botting, a lot of useless unique items.

Even if it's no Diablo 1, D2 managed to retain a fantastic atmosphere imo, especially Act 1 and 5. Hell, this atmosphere is exactly what makes me go back to d2 over and over again.

enigma destroyed pvp,teleporting should be locked out when hostile,it destroyed all other playstyles

To this day I wonder how can ONE ITEM destroy a game.

fpbp

Nothing. Neo Sup Forums will hate it because they missed out.
