That reason alone is why I never bought Resurrected. My favorite character and she looked like an old man. I will never buy anything that does stuff like this.
Re: barb. Whirlwind now gets attack speed bonuses from everywhere (not just weapons), just like other attacks. This resulted in 2 handed non-sword whirlwind being limited to 5 frames per attack instead of 4, which is what people hated. On the other hand, lower end builds got a lot better. Obedience barb is now very viable
Ooh, I love this. Really increases the variety of weapons WW Barbs can use. Not getting 20& IAS from gloves or neck was a surprisingly gigantic change.
@@le4-677 blade fury is not using casting frames, it use attack frames, so it is unfair to call it 'caster'. It is same kind of 'caster' as strafe bowazon. It also use attack rating, so it is nowhere close to OP territory.
It really is to bad blizzard owns the rights to this game.. to the entire franchise actually. Be so cool to see a world where D2 and all its assets were sold to Vicarious Visions. Imagine if they owned the game, had no obligations to blizzard or Activision, had the same budget/team, and could do as they see fit with the title. Because Imo, what they did to remaster D2 and make it look and feel modern is truly exceptional. Id have loved to see them keep cooking, and what could have been. Bet you there'd be a much more flushed out online experience by now, with tons of QoL improvements added. As well as new endgame content, new and improved unique items/RWs, and maybe even a couple new gameplay mechanics, new zones, or tilesets too. And DARE I say a new class?.. No probably not haha. But alas.. We can only dream of such glory 😢. Blizzard could definitely find a way to generate revenue with D2R, they're just not interested unless it's easy, cheap and basically exploitative towards their customers and generates huge sums of money. A title like D2, that could be further tweaked and designed to work so well around live service model doesn't deserve to be in maintenance mode already.. It's so absurd.
I wish they had just made the Leap Attack barb scale with weapon damage properly. I hate that the aoe part is a static damage, which makes you have to stack skill levels, and even if you do it's not worth it. Would've easily been my favorite build of all time.
I think bone prison having some kind of synergy that gives it thorns damage would be neat, then you could see some use for Iron Maiden and bone prison. MAYBE have spirit wolves get synergies from rabies and fire claws to add mixed damage rather than just cold. If they made an effort to see how some skills from other trees could benefit from other skills in other trees I think it’d really open up the massive potential this game still has. MORE SYNERGIES, MORE VIABILITY, MORE PLAYABILITY.
Brother they changed the speed calc when you are in werewolf form. Which was confusion at the start. The benefit is now that you have a much bigger selection of weapons to choose from. Because on LoD only ias on weapon was important in werewolf form.
Instead of not expending charges, Mosaic really should just simply increase the time you can hold a charge before it disappears by 50% (stacking, so wearing two doubles the length you can hold charges). That would still be worthwhile.
I'm pretty sure you missed that they changed the way werebears attack speed is calculated. in 1.10 you used to be able to hit faster than zeal with a 6 socketed phase blade with 4 shaels and 2 ias jewels. it was a really fun build even if it didn't do well with big mobs.
Looking clean & fresh Mr. Layma. Though I don't play D2R, it is interesting to see what they've changed about the chars, especially with patches since 2021. Good vid.
I'm sad to see llama dismiss grim ward. After the rework, it has become one of my fav barb skills. First of all, for throw barb, it's absolutely amazing, obviously. You have a safe area around you. Second of all, even for melee classes, it's great. If you have enough skills into grim ward, monsters don't run away from you, they crawl away. Combine that with something like frenzy and you can easy select which targets to engage. It almost feels like cheating at times. Third, it's great to separate minions from bosses. This is more useful if you aren't strong but it's still good. 4th , it's great with other players. You get to save everyone AND annoy necros by overriding their curses, what's not to love? 5th, ok this is hard to achieve but if you pump enough points into synergy, it becomes a better amplify damage. It can remove ghost immunity in hell. At the very least, put one point into it and let the items bump it up enough to see the potential of it.
Rebalancing Mosaic is easy - make it proc only on the first hit of Dragon Talon, and give the Dragon moves synergy to buff Dragon Tail and Dragon Flight. That will slow down procs significantly and also spread out skill points
Add a cooldown to Engima tele and rework mosaic. Rework uniques Turn charms into their own stash (paragon board) make that a new endgame endeavor. Increased stashes and separate backpacks from charms in backpack. Make a paragon board for the charms to be placed in.
My wishlist (not happening) - Diablo Clone no longer only spawns by selling SoJ('s) to vendors, but instead spawns from selling any 100 unique items for offline, or 1000 unique items for online to vendors on Hell difficulty, after completing Hell difficulty. Finally a use for those Ethereal Uniques. - Rework Mosaic to stacking +50% longer time before charges dissipate, but they still get consumed as normal, which is what's really broken. - I kinda wish that the location of the various temples in Kurast would be randomized so the Ruined one isn't always in the Bazaar. I know, speedrunners would hate this. - I'd also like the True Tomb of Tal Rasha to also have a guaranteed treasure chest room, so if you've beaten the quest you can't be sure it's not the real one if you find a treasure chest. - A charm-only inventory tab (charms can be placed in your main inventory, but will have no effect), even if smaller would be nice, but not likely to happen. - A cheapish runeword which has mid stats but +1 Teleport so Enigma is not the be-all, end-all. - Rework some too-good runewords and some not-good-enough uniques, and some definitely-not-good-enough set items as well.
Still wish necro would get some love. Biggest change i would like to see, make revives permanent and persistent. reduce the number to be in like with the other summons. and make the fire golem as strong as the druid's grizzly! tested the revives in the D2 re imagined mod and necro can do players 8 with his eyes closed(they went a little over the top though)
Time for inferno sorc playthrough which in the endgame will be the new arctic blast BIS murderer. I wonder if the cold mastery would make a big dif for that +17 arctic sword
Trapsin is now really decent on players 8. It used to suck a lot..... idk about mosaic, you lose charges fast and you get it so late.... without mosaic that whole tree sucks.
Finally did my first attempt at speed running, did paladin normal P8, 4.5 hrs lol, I was goin to do P8 hell but when I saw how long normal took I decided to call it a run lol. I am goin to submit it as well cuz why not
30 mins in... did they make Skeletal mage viable? Nope... then I'm not playing lol. So lazy.. a simple number tweak and an hours work could make them not suck.
I will just add to the chorus of others that the amazon looks busted. She literally looks like a tan necromancer with blonde hair. Amazonians are usually depicted as attractive or at least average looking. Gal Gadot would not have been cast as Wonder Woman if she looked like Alfred E. Neuman.
Maybe I'll have to give D2R a try. Been a long time since I played it and never really got beyond normal, so the buffs/changes could be what I need to push into higher difficulties.
I wonder if they could make physical converted to cold like poe not sure how much of a rip off that would be, but it might fix the sprit wolf issue. Diablo 2 is still the goat in my opinion. Its a shame that they cannot allocate more resources to improve d2 the game has so much potential still. They would need to monetize it of course but iunno i would support it.
Amazon is just a disaster how HE looks now… assassin is a pancace face asian instead a beautiful women. Necro is too old. Barb is too old too and shaggy instead of muscular and stiff. Soso is pancace face too. Druid is too hobo for me now. Pala is the only ok but his new bushlike haitcut is hilarious. I liked more his old bald stile, it mirrored his disciplined attitude more.
They also made Paladin Afro lol. He was more like eastern/arab type in the original. @starlightxfury No, she wasn't. Simple Diablo wiki artworks and renders prove you wrong.
Here's the real break down of the original D2 vs D2 Resurrected: Blizzard went woke by changing characters looks 3 as such: 1.Women look uglier 2.Turned the Paladin and Assassin into black people 3.Than turned the Amazon into a trans man. D2 Resurrected and original are still the best Blizzard Games they ever made tho.
@thegoblonoid Maybe just as a joke. I often say "yesh" instead of 'yes" to quote The Office, but I know what the actual pronunciation is. Common vernacular in US is "wolves".

what best for posion necro? i want to build a pvp- pn townrunning noob. i think about 20 20 facette shield and 20 20 armor
I'll never forget Willem Dafoe Amazon (and the char select screen, when making a new character still uses that model)
They really did the amazon done dirty
That reason alone is why I never bought Resurrected. My favorite character and she looked like an old man. I will never buy anything that does stuff like this.
Hey Mrllama! It’s my bday today and I got my first shako! Only started playing a couple weeks ago because of your videos
Best sorc change is global cooldown removal. Now you can weave together meteorbs and frozen orbs amd statics
OMG is that why it feels so much smoother now?
Oh no this cursed amazon face💀

They always hit if you have a charge. If not, they don't
@@MrLlamaSC Ahh cool cool. Thanks for clarifying.
ive never been this early. Hi Mr Llama! loving the new surge of uploads
Instead of not expending charges, Mosaic really should just simply increase the time you can hold a charge before it disappears by 50% (stacking, so wearing two doubles the length you can hold charges). That would still be worthwhile.
as a classic player, im thinking of getting resurrection or not, and your videos help a lot! thanks!

Yeah they just made offhand and mainhand ias all the same now.
They also fixed the Energy Shield bug, making it viable and very strong!

LETS GO SEQUEL VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOO Thank You to the best D2 content creator for making this video :)
I can’t believe what they did to my beautiful girl
When the necromancer reaches lvl 99 you can actually reset your skill tree and transform it into a lightning super sayan necro.
Not mentioning that Lightning Strike Amazon is now a thing and it's super fun is a bit of a downer, but a good video overall.
Rebalancing Mosaic is easy - make it proc only on the first hit of Dragon Talon, and give the Dragon moves synergy to buff Dragon Tail and Dragon Flight.
That will slow down procs significantly and also spread out skill points
they already let this happen I doubt they would take it away
would love a video of all the new meta builds (mosaic, nova sorc, etc) in d2r compared to LOD
Let the skeleton mages cast teeth and bonespear and make it a synergy to bone spells u get some aoe then
I made a really gg rabies/poison creeper build this ladder, was fun, i copped a Jmod and filled it with -5 5 poison dmg facets
D2 will always have a special place in my heart but for now i think im done thanks to poe2 and blizz for abandoning d2r
Add a cooldown to Engima tele and rework mosaic.
Rework uniques
Turn charms into their own stash (paragon board) make that a new endgame endeavor.
Increased stashes and separate backpacks from charms in backpack. Make a paragon board for the charms to be placed in.

This is great information. Thanks.
They could EASILY change a LOT of dead skills in d2R and the game would be EVEN BETTER.
What’s up with the videos lately lol my man needs to pay for some more diapers or what?
Just wanted to create more content
@@MrLlamaSCWe appreciate it!
Cool video. Modded d2r is where it is at IMO now
I love the Paladin changes. Tribrid is my favorite build in the game
Time for inferno sorc playthrough which in the endgame will be the new arctic blast BIS murderer. I wonder if the cold mastery would make a big dif for that +17 arctic sword
oh and I forgot I still want the druid summoner edge strat playtrough, that might slap tbh. No corpses required
Fend and Impale are actually really good!!! So is Strafe, for a bowazon using Faith
Strafe is great but spears are still just... mediocre. I mean you can have fun with it is suppose but I don't think it really stands out
Spirit Woof and Heart of the Wooferine
And here i was expecting a model review on how they made the amazon And rogues old lmao

@@MrLlamaSCNo corpses from their kills, right?
great one, tho u need timestamps my guy
nice video! gogo Llama go!
i hope this game will get some more love soon :/
Cold was pierced before now they changed I guess
Sorc I think casts frozen orb faster now and again removed of global afaik
I don't think it sped up but the global removal was nice
Was that thumbnail from before they fixed the character models? 😭
They literally just need to fix the Amazon’s face.
The strongest build in the game is actually the lightning fury javazon
Nah mosaic stronger still
Please give us more updates blizzard :(

In short they are awesome and d2r is amazing zing zing zing whee

yea all of them have gotten beaten with the ugly woke stick
D2 still the best - PoE2 & D4 can hide in stash. Maybe Diablo 5 throw D2 from throne
Sad they made the Amazon ugly and they made the assassin asian for some reason. Other chars look great.
