Suggestions for upcoming patch

i was among people who was hoping for devotion-less amazon

unlike neutral-din, there arent benefit for going that build except for phalanx + pounce which required "tedious" skill switching. Balefire + moonbeam can work but different weapon amazon use, they have different breakpoint cast speed.

would be neat if we can code one of the skill to be "any weapon" so you can use them regardless the current weapon setup.
Phalanx + spear dmg? check. Moonbeam with scepter? check. pounce with bow? .... dang it marco changed it clvl 24 skill instead.

*old triefling form with fast cast speed + atmg + doom was kinda fun, but arent much viable though lol.

I beg to disagree.

i in part agree, in part disagree with your criticisms.

its absolutely true that the standard builds will generally be the same every time, the variety of builds are limited by what is actually viable to use. so unless someone discovers a new build there will be strong overlap in what is actually played.

► massive list
however, barbarian, druid, assassin and necro have the ability to use all of their skills if you want them to.

so for example you decide to do yshari with totems but for baal you want to use 1pt voodoo shot? you can do that. no respec needed, 5 pts into the xbow tree and your plan is ready to be tested.

you want to do yshari with trap rat? for the physical immunes 1pt into rain of fire is quite helpful to have.

assassin, same deal, just with brother laz. some pts in singularity and/or fire trap along with the fighting spec and youre good to go.

barb, same deal, use throw spec, but have a sword on switch to dodge barrels in dunc and stormblast. or, if you want to, its possible to use axes on switch for thunderslam if you really want to cheese some ubers, no limitations in that regard.

honestly i cant think of a reason why on sorc you shouldnt be able to use all spells before the passives (still only get 2 passives but all spells before them, as proposed for the amazon), might need some repositioning of skills in some cases maybe (for example only have access to arachnomancy instead of lorenado, so they would need to be switched out), but overall... why not.

paladin, absolutely linear. however if you really want to use slayer for stun on a melee spec in some situation, you can.

amazon is pretty much limited to the tree she puts the pick-1-passive in. if you for any reason want put a point into 2 trees (like bow + java) then thats possible, but your char faces a lot of penalties that for the most part are a huge disadvantage compared with other classes that get their passives. its not necssisarily unviable to play neutralzon but its not like most other classes where you have a main spec and then invest like 5 extra points somewhere else and youre good to go.

its possible to argue that this is good game design, because it makes amazon special that you cant get passive + other tree, but at the same time its restricting beyond viability.

so, how about this: if this ever is tried, gets tested, and it turns out its way op or otherwise a bad idea, then im happy to leave amazon/sorc the way she is. before that i will advocate for it being tried and as far as i can tell you are not against the implimentation itself, rather its the concept of amazon being more restricted than other classes that you disagree with, right?

Yes, I only disagree with you saying that amazon is the only limited class so far.

And you already mentioned why I think there would be no benefit if you removed the limitations. Most skills do have another limit: the weapon to cast the skill.

Honestly, I can't imagine a single time this would actually be of help to make a new build. Maybe by using some tree and in addition balefire, but this skill drains your life all the time, so a high max life will be needed anyway... so back to blood tree passive.

Anyway, I can imagine the limitations where implemented in order to make the game a bit more noob friendly. However it'd be interesting to see the limitations gone.

Island of the sunless sea

This uber should be renamed to Squating Grounds. Every melee mobs should be renamed into gopnik, every caster mob into western spy. Those flying overseers should become dirizhabl. Of course two bosses should be renamed into Alik and Vitalik. Instead of gold they should drop semechki.

Seriously, the boss Malic needs some attention. His location is too close to main land and very abusive by every ranged char.

And Baal needs some harder cancer mechanics. Overall he is the end game boss, defeating him you advance to next difficulty and/or win the game. Right not he is just a punching bag.

Sb/marco made a mistake while editing, i already told them.

Shift + Click into stash/cube. This should be a heavy priority.

Fixing invisible game mechanics(this is an engine limitation? well then remove the mechanics.)

Better search options/trading site/trading improvements. This will allow new players to search past auction prices and gather an idea of what something is worth.

Hehe... im sorry i made a wrong post, in a place :3 here is link to it viewtopic.php?f=32&t=5533

Using signet of learning instead of crystals for shrine bless, to get tu's out of the way completely and simplify cubing.

+1

Please, Shift + Click into stash/cube is necessary.

And translate patch to spanish.

It would be cool if you could identify all items in inv/stash by right clicking identify tome. Ofc Cain is a thing but makes farming slower

Better trading, something akin to poe.trade
shift or ctrl+click to move items should be the toppest of priorities
