Those are insane numbers for normal difficulty.

You basically need 1k in chapter II, 1500 in chapter IV and over 2k by the end of VI. Attack/Defense ratings also seem to be out of wack. Once you get the Horadric Cube and can make your first level 20ish runeword weapon, basically every non-set drop becomes worthless I used the Serenity Spear (a level 22 craftable item) straight through Baal, Diablo, and hoards of level 50+ monsters no problem. My biggest complaint, aside from the map size issue, ultimately ends up being a notable lack of balance. Elemental Balance, Sphere of Protection, Conversion, Arcane Will, Star Pact, Critical Strike, Retreat, Elemental Strike, and the Dodge line all at 1 point (pre-item bonuses). Main skills being Lightning Strike, Elemental Exchange, Overload, Mental Alacrity, and Inner Focus, with Inner Sight and Valkyrie at half-max (including item bonuses). Ended up at level 55 with 33 Devotion points Wraith, Candle, Quill, Chariot, Widow, and Vulture. There’s a damn good reason Maphack was a required utility when playing back in the day and it wouldn’t have hurt anything to scale down the map size by about a quarter.Īnnoyances aside I ended up hacking & slashing my way through Normal difficulty (unlike base Grim Dawn the Veteran option here is an actual hard mode option which should be avoided by new players) with a 50/50 Amazon-Arcanist combo.

Namely the issues of massively oversized maps full of trash mobs (particularly damning in Acts IV-VI) and Hero monsters being inexplicably surrounded by 6+ ‘Minions’ with 5-10 times the health of other enemies. While there is indeed no need to deal with equipment repair, lack of consumable stacking, slow health/mana regen, nor lack of stash space or respec options while playing this Mod, some of D2‘s less pleasant aspects are still faithfully imported. Flash-forward to this week where I discovered the Reign of Terror Mod, which aims to re-create the first two Diablo games.Ī goal it succeeds at remarkably well.

So I did… only to find that compared to Grim Dawn there was just too much missing in the quality of life department. Some time back, either earlier this year or last year, I had the urge to replay Diablo II.
