Use the other slots to cover the resists you need for a particular encounter.ĥ) Remember rares & crafts. The easiest way to get this is by using mass-diamond socketed helm and armor. That is, max battle orders, oak sage, get those summons and curses on nec (1 pt gets you a long way here), get auras on paladinģ) Remain versatile in your equipment choices, throughout normal and even nm/hell to a lesser extent you will need multiple items for your equipment slots depending on the encounter.Ĥ) Straight physical/magic damage reduction is very strong and very necessary for tanks in normal. (And patch/reset means much more activity.)ġ) Build your char/group with bossfights in mind, not trashmobsĢ) Unless your group is severely restricted in size, get the skills beneficial to the party first. If you've tried it before I really recommend giving it another go with this patch as it'll make the game better than ever. If you're a fan of D2 or WoW (and not impressed by Cataclysm ) come give this a go when the patch is out. In a sense this is a crossbreed of vanilla D2 and a miniscale MMO, you need a group of players to progress through acts but can still do some grinding on your own. Rushing countermeasures: This mod is about bossfights, not sweeping straight to endgame and grinding out top tier equipment. Playing a healer is no longer pointless! It's a very helpful character in boss fights. All items have been changed and drops as well, all the major bosses drop multiple uniques every time to reward the harder fights. (In the past normal was almost as hard as hell) Difficulty has been rebalanced so that normal will now get you a hang of things and then ramp up from there.

All classes have been rebalanced and slightly altered, however nearly all of the original skills remain. There's however plenty of waypoints and 'red' portals (think static TP's) There are no TP scrolls so you can't abuse these in boss fights. They regenerate full health after 20 seconds of not being damaged, so you can't simply suicide over and over.

Boss fights are everything in this mod, and you need to play cooperatively to beat most of them.
