The barbarian is probably the most faithful to the original game. Most other classes are either uglified or beat with the old stick.

I already know I want a ranger build, centered around using the bow. This always was my favorite way of playing Diablo too.

I also wonder if they messed around with how attributes work. Will ALL builds still require you invest at most 50 into strength, and everything else into vitality? (only exception was for a bowazon were you needed to add some dexterity too)

There's something that I'm curious about Diablo 2 Resurrected in regard to the new animations.

In og Diablo 2 FCR and IAS were key for any build, but the way animations worked, it meant you needed to reach certain breakpoints, and further IAS/FCR didn't add any improvements unless you reached the next breakpoint.

Seeing how in Resurrected the animations are MUCH smoother, will this allow more gradual improvements with FCR and IAS, to where you don't constantly need to target certain fixed breakpoints? If this is indeed the case, then it might change the balance of the game and character builds quite a lot, maybe to the point of leaving some completely broken or obsolete.

P.S.
FCR = faster cast rate, it applied to casting spell type skills
IAS = increased attack rate, it applied to any weapon based attack

Yeah, it kinda is. Which is why I never managed to get too far into the game. The skill part has a bit of a learning curve. I don't think you're supposed to be able to make a good build that you enjoy playing on your first playthrough

You were born in it. Molded by it... yeah yeah yeah... we heard the story before.

We need Cartman to rally the gingers together and begin world domination.

@mario@neckbeard.xyz @Kagekokoro@neckbeard.xyz @Sterence@neckbeard.xyz
Kinda. Your active skill attacks are granted by a socketable rune-like system, and your passive skills... well... it's complicated...

@icedquinn @matrix
Yeah, but gingers are considered white. You guys are oppressors.

But seriously though, there is a weird trend of ginger erasure in media. There have been more ginger/redhead characters that were replaced by POCs in media than other hair color whites.

@matrix
There you go then. I'm an oppressed minority. Where's my victim bucks?

For $1000 a year, I'd check a box saying I'm bi. Liking futa probably qualifies anyway.

How many years has it been since IPv6 launched, and still no IPv6 in Romania as far as I can tell.

I can deal with Diablo's dated parts because I've played it so much already that I'm used to it. I liked Torchlight 1, is Torchlight 2 worse than it?
