What about to give Raven and Hurricane some strong synergy so u could make physical/cold build from these... :') Just to make somehow Raven useful without wolves and bear synergies.
Great video ty for making pd2 content. A lot of great points here and I think for the most part I agree with them. Some things I wanted to note/respond Homunclus is the max block shield. You give up the one skill for basically becoming invulnerable on a necro. Agreed a summoner will never use it but a nova necro or a poison dagger necro almost always prefer it to boneflame. rolling 3 skills on it would probably be meta for even a summoner as aggressive tp stomping would be even more viable. Also on a personal level I'm against items rolling skills as finding a 2 skill results in leaving it on the ground. Wraith flight used to always be eth and they changed it because it overcentralized the meta. I don't play throw barb but if the ias bug was fixed (I think it was) and with the changes to rares/crafts over the seasons AND the 25% eth nerf then I think it's fine to make it always eth again as other options are probably better. I definitely agree with you about how dex *should* apply to 2 hand. I do think the comparison is a little skewed because you're comparing a nm pole arm base to an elite 2 handed base with v high dex. Regardless it would be a good change. I'm against fcr aura because it's easy enough for everyone to hit this mod in this game. With the infinity wielding sorc for instance, that's 85 off the bat. 115 isn't too bad to come by with an fcr corruption here or there. *but I do think the 20 fcr blue ring thing would be actually really cool* On the skill belt conversation, I actually think belts are in a great spot. as far as skill belts go, you have up to 2 cold skills with snow clash, 2 lightning skills with tgods, and fire uses arach because they make up that skill point with magefist/hellmouth/frostburns. The only people who miss out on belt skills are magic users and maybe some masteries bleed barb which, has many other more glaring necessities. Not sure how I would change map events but I definitely think getting guaranteed 1 of wss/keys/gheed, for instance, is way too broken with the proposed catalyst shard change. I love the proposed horizon change though. Again, only highlighting what I disagree with because most of what you said would be awesome for the game.
Thanks for this awesome reply! You make a good point about skill belts. Regarding polearms, I believe I was using GPA (great poleaxe) as a comparison which is a hell base (elite). But I appreciate your agreement there. And yeah the FCR aura was just a random thought I had a while back that I was just hoping to get some others opinion on, so thank you for that as well!
As for Events in map, how about a very rare "Terror zone" map event...? With maybe 10% higher drop rate on runes and items... And in that map, Dclone gear could also be dropped.... Just a thought :P I mean like Horazon map, but instead it opens " Terror Zone ".. Maybe 5% chance to open or something like that...
@@varyktv Yeah true... Sometimes the maps are so fastly done, you can do it under 15 minutes, but with extra map, it might not be time to finish the original map that is opened... I think they should put the Horazon's map or maybe even the dungeon map for Clone drops... Dungeon with 1-5% chance to drop Dclone items and Boss have maybe 1-2% to drop the Anni corruption shard... Give the "Normal" players to get the mats and eq as well, not Only a couple of people getting sick rich...
unique quiver/bolts would be soo good. I hate having to pickup every rare arrow/bolt I find... Also dropping Dclone items in the unique maps would be dope!
DClone items in unique maps is a great idea! I didn't even think of that; that would both incentivize people to run them more and get dclone items dropping more. Good one man :)
Agree with majority of these. I would like to see the 3 Puzzlepieces to Puzzlebox idea 100%, and also increase the Puzzlebox and puzzlepiece droprates. Hopefully they redo the corrupting because so many useless slams. You need to survive a brick, and survive a bad slam 😂 Or if they added a way to maybe block a slam from bricking with an expensive item. Kinda like how a Zod blocks Ethereal items breaking. Maybe an Eth Zod rune that can stop an item from bricking. So if you had a really elite Rare item that you wouldn't want to brick. You could spend 5hr or so on the Eth Zod rune to stop it from being lost forever, and still attempt to get a slam on it. In other words, it would incentivise getting more Hrs, to ensure more godly items are kept alive, but obviously it is expensive so couldn't be used very often, only on Elite items.
Solid thought! Would be very interesting to incorporate. I still like the idea of bricking, but yeah it'd be cool to have an expensive anti-brick item. Maybe not THAT expensive because you still have the possibility of crap slams which are basically bricks anyway
@@varyktv Yeah of course. You wouldn't be taking away bricking. The only way you wouldn't be bricking is if you bought this new item that could cost 5hr (or something not easily obtainable). So 99% of the time you'd still have a chance to brick. But that one godly ass elite item. Like a Magic Necro head with +3 summon +3 skellie +3 skellie mastery +2 sockets you found. You would never want to risk bricking something like that, and if it cost 5hr to keep it on the server, even with a bad slam. It would be worth it.
Like a lot what you said. I mentioned this in feedback before but will add it here. I'd like to see something other than Infinity as an endgame item that reduces enemy elemental resistance. Would love a stepping stone that isn't 5 HR to give characters the chance to break immunities
I think there is many elemental builds and not to many immune breakers, stormspire only light, infinity, pus spitter, I think an idea would be that chance to cast lower resist on casting or striking should be a rare mod. Like amp.

What is that thing on your desk .... looks suspicious :D
Blue Jewels roll two mods...
You mean like they do already? Example Ruby Jewel of Fervor (40/15) blue jewel...2 mods....
Or did you mean 'always' roll 2 mods
Always roll 2 :)
I didn't mention it, but the Executioner's Justice idea was not mine! Don't want to take credit for that cool idea :)

Not a bad idea! My issue with Horazon's is just the time-commitment

There should definitely be a maxed socket item (puzzlewand). One beyond the puzzle box maybe worth around 2-3hr.
a puzzle sphere

6 puzzlepiece sounds more sensible cus 6 sides = box
@@ewan1042 hahaha good point, my geometry wasn't geometry-ing in that video huh xD
@@ewan1042 it's gonna be a no from me dawg
fully support your comments and opinion, but to be completely honest, I love PD2, whatever they will include new on next season, I will be very happy.
Haha let's be real, same... can't hurt to have a wishlist though xD
@@varyktv you're right man! 😅
