Suggestions for upcoming patch

Also, it would be nice if we could specialize more in an item only skill the following way:
There was an "orb" with which you cube an unique/set/rare item with : It will give the unique/set/rare item +1 property : +1-X TO RANDOM ITEM ONLY SKILL
The "orb" 's rarity would be like of an sk1.
...
So like there is the "Rising Dawn" skill. It has a nice mechanic and cool display. But u can't use it properly,
Stealthmaster's Triumph
gives a few points, but its not enough. It would be awesome if we could manage to get +1-10 to Rising Star property to our other items we wear..

What you're wanting with UMOs is what's known as 'power creep' and no matter how much they're buffed there will always be one or two on the top anyways. Besides, there's quite a few shit uniques anyways...

to name a few that I'm pretty sure suck

Also,

Cornerstone of the World

is EXACTLY what you're describing with oskill MOs. oskills are affected by +x all skill so having +10 random oskill would be brutally OP, considering that some oskills are RATHER strong

t6 light belt is far from being shit

Lmao I'm only familiar with the T1-2 version and never knew how hard it scaled up

Any chance of cosmetic items in sigma? Charms that turns you into diablo/baal as rare drops from talrasha/king; I've never completed a set in ultimative so I don't know if there are any that do this in it, but back in vanilla there were some that added cosmetics upon wearing the full set (there's a necro set that turns you into a vampire for example). Or maybe have an alternate equipment panel where you can put stuff and get no stats for it but it looks like your character is wearing it (in case you don't like the looks of your optimized equipment)

How bout a system of Mystic Orbs that instead of increasing level of the item, cost something such as another stat? Such for example you have a mystic orb for experience but at the cost of damage? Seems pretty interesting to me. Also if this is possible, to somehow integrate /players X into individual games as for the host. I mean, it works for TCPIP/Open so it should be able to integrate into Realm Play :mjump:

/players in online games

that kinda defeats the original purpose of the function. Online scales to the number of players automatically to make it so you don't curbstomp everything by dishing out 8x the damage a boss was designed to take. In addition, more loot was needed since it was being divided; even if one person picked up everything they'd end up with stuff they couldn't make use of and thus it encouraged trading.

/players in single player was, I believe, intended to make rare/relevant drops easier to get since there were no other players to trade with you. Online if you're playing a paladin and find a unique wand, you can't really do anything with that but you never know when you'll meet a necromancer with a few extra high level runes you could use. Meanwhile in single player it doesn't get rid of assassin drops just because you're playing barbarian, and there was no plugy back then to transfer over that sweet katar. So it was 100% useless. With good drops in general being so hard to come by in single player it didn't really seem fair. So they implemented /players. Now the game treats it as if you had a party of X, and raises the drop rates accordingly, at the cost of making enemies tougher (and you don't even get help taking them down this time!), so you gotta put in extra work to make up for the extra grinding you're saving yourself, making things balanced.

If you want higher drop rates online, just get together with more people! Trade! Do the things that online was made to do!

complete sets give a glow around the char iirc

Full Natalya set makes the Assassin have perma Fade look too. (invisible'ish)

Bloodzon rework -- Bacchanalia passive max life bonus remains. Bacchanalia also becomes an active spell like Ecstatic Frenzy, giving buffs to blood spells with a downside of quickly degenerating the zon's HP while it's active (or having the strengthened spells also cost HP). She's still paying in blood but doesn't need to stay at 1/3 health all the time which IMO is too much to ask in ubers where a sneeze can easily kill you and a lot of survivability counts on leech/LaeK which interferes with staying in that sweet spot. I think she'd be more attractive to play if her "hyper mode" was totally controllable by the player with a downside that can be worked with.

Is it possible to add another skill tree to each class? Maybe add even more flavor/variety to each classs?
