General guidelines for designing combat game rules, but with most points detailed towards Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. These guidelines describe how encounters are balanced, but would be exagerated for encounters which should stand out (bosses, unique and champion monsters, etc).


1) Monster base damage resistances are 0 Norm difficulty, 33 NM, 50 Hell, with +49 to one of the six elements for resistant exceptions. 50 in Hell corresponds with phys res tradition. To show general resistance to multiple elements consider (2x +25%), (3x +16%), (4x +12%). 50% physical resistance is normal in Hell difficulty D2:LoD, so setting the elemental resistances to this level allows easier balancing of the mods that appear on items. Reducing 100%+ (Immune) monster resistance receives special treatment by the game engine, so requires players to have large amounts of resistance piercing. Elemental resistance piercing is only balanced if it doubles the elemental damage, just like the preset damage doubling of Deadly Strike.
2) Elemental Pierce at 50% against a 50% resistant critter corresponds to 100% Deadly Strike against a 50% phys res critter. Resistances are meant to add variety to encounters, but immunities simply stop single-element Players. 90%+ resistance is effectively immunity, but is less frustrating to overcome.
3) Conviction, Amp, and LRes capped at 50%. Likely 11% + 1%/Lvl.
4) Monster HP progression table starts at 250%, so that Crushing Blow reduces by 1/10 rather than 1/4.
5) Monster HP balanced so that Open Wounds reduces life by 1/3 (OW is hardcoded and damages over 8 seconds). This is about 1/25 monHP DPS for 8sec.
6) Enemy Melee are generally more durable than Ranged monsters.
7) Tanking players have 4 times more effective HP than fragile players.
8) Fragile players have triple the damage of tanking players, or more AoE (hitting 3 times more monsters).
9) Tanking Players effective HP should be 20 times monster melee damage.
10) Norm difficulty Monsters should die after 5 hits from Tanking players.
11) Monsters should outnumber players by 4 to 1 in Norm.
12) Melee players should hit monsters 90% of the time.
13) Ranged players should hit monsters 80% of the time 1/2 across the screen.
14) Player minions should be 1/3 as effective as players, e.g. Valkerie alone would do 1/3 the damage of a tank and die 3 times faster than a tank.
15) Player Hirelings should be 2/3 as effective as a player.
16) Player spells should be castable enough to engage 4 monsters without a recovery period.
17) Player damage reduction caps should be similar to monster resistances.
18) Buffs (skills and items compared to no-skill or plain-items) should not exceed more than about 50% improvement at a time because large changes create cusps in the line of balance that, while novel and noticeable at the time, lead to predictable gameplay. A skill heavily invested in should provide a significant bonus (triple effect) over a skill not invested in.
19) There are 3 main forms of element: Physical (attacks with ability to produce effects on hit), Elemental (Fire (mid Dmg), Cold (low Dmg with chill), Lightning (high Dmg but variability), Poison (Double lightning max dmg (and spell cost) but over 8 seconds (Open Wounds is 8 seconds))), and Magic (nothing resists magic, but no resistance piercing is allowed either). It is balanced for Magic Damage to be relatively weaker, at 80% of standard (Fire Element) damage. For a fragile-character attack (triple Tank damage, or 3/5 Monster HP), Magic-Dmg spells should kill monsters in slightly more than 2 hits (12/25th of monster HP as damage). AoE magic attacks should do about 4/25th monster HP as damage.
20) Ranged player attacks will do more damage than Tanks, but less than spells, so about 1.5 to 2 times Tank Damage.
21) Since MonsterHP increase exponentially, spell cost and damage should increase exponentially. Since spell costs and damage after level 28 are limited to linear growth, other effects must be used to increase spell damage and cost (such as cast rate). For most classes, cast rate can only increase damage by 65% and requires about 130%FCRate. Monster-debuff effects could be used to increase damage, but not spell costs.
22) Skills without benefits or synergies from other skills will reach their cap quickly, making them suitable for various builds.
23) Low level caster skills (since these do not rely on weapons) require extra synergies or more +Skills from gear if they are meant to keep up with higher level skills and monsters.
24) IronMaiden curse by enemies should have a low amount of damage reflection since Players' HP:Damage ratio (3:1) is much lower than monsters' 30:1. Similarly, phys damage melee builds (only these are affected by IM) should consistently have skills or weapons available that reduce their physical damage output in exchange for non-physical.
25) Gear that debilitates the enemy (such as curses, auras, etc) should be relatively weaker, since everyone in the party benefits from the weaker enemy.
26) Player and Monster levels should match in each area, since this affects melee player's chance to hit, and experience gained. Consider level 95 in Hell difficulty, since this allows players to replay any area with equal challenge. Consider level 85-95 in Nightmare difficulty, which is distinguished by player's already maxing most of their skills and requiring better equipment to progress. Act1 Normal difficulty should be player level 1 to 25, so that most skills can be unlocked and the initially slow start of the game is over, A2 levels 25 to 40, A3 levels 40 to 55, A4 levels 55 to 70, A5 levels 70 to 85.
27) Weapon base damage (capped at 255) should consider that Players attacks will include bonuses from Skills and statistics (i.e. strength and Dexterity). Weapons will usually have magical properties that improve them. If magic properties improve weapon damage by around +500%, then non-magic weapons are nearly useless. Consider an average magical bonus of +50%, perhaps with a possible magical penalty of -100% for elemental-damage melee weapons.
28) Two handed weapons should do about 50% more damage than weapons that allow a shield. This trade of damage and defence will allow for less frustration in areas with weaker monsters.
29) For weapon variety, consider differences in balances of Range to average damage (+Range = -Dmg), requirements to average damage (-50% req = -33%Dmg, 2Handed = 1H+50%Dmg), and the spread of the damage range around the average damage (Axe +/- 10%, Hammer +/- 20%, Swords +/- 33%, Daggers +/- 1Dmg but -50%req with -33%Dmg, Spears +/- 20% but -25% req with -20%Dmg, Poles +/- 66% with +25% req and +25% Dmg). Note that base weapon max damage is capped at 255.
30) Ranged weapon damage should balance between requiring two hands but also attacking at range. Consider them doing regular damage (i.e. no 50% bonus for 2Handed, no penalty for range). Consider Crossbows requiring strength rather than dexterity, and having a piercing attack with reduced damage (50% pierce is similar to dmg*(2-0.5^(monCount-1)), i.e. dmg*1.75 if 3 monsters).
31) Armor is the total of the shield (20%), helmet (10%), armor (50%), boots(5%), gloves(5%), belt(5%), and charms(5%). This total is magnified by skills and weapon-based +%EnhancedDefence. Consider 3 tiers of armor: Heavy (for tanks), Medium, and Light (for ranged casters).
32) High-end melee weapons have strength requirements up to 160, many weapons require both str (max 66) and dex (max 95 - higher to help blockers), reduced-stat weapons require both str (35) and dex (50). Consider defining the strength requirements of the armor tiers using the strength requirements of these three tiers of weapons (i.e. Tank gear requires 3x more than fragile). Weapons for blockers requiring Str and Dex use: Dexterity = Strength*1.5
33) Skills that use shields and boots as the weapons do not benefit from on-item enchanced damage, so the base damage of shields and boots should be high enough to consider this (2Handed Dmg). Smite adds damage to the shield before skill and off-weapon enhanced damage bonuses are applied, so Smite could fill in the role of on-weapon EDmg. Boot damage is increased by stats before skill bonuses are applied (this stat-damage is not further enhanced), +Dmg = (str+dex-20)/4 to (str+dex-20)/3, so with str = dex = 70, +Dmg = (70+70-20)/4 to (70+70-20)/3 = 30 to 40.
34) Blocking with a shield should be largely based on the player type rather than the shield, to prevent players from stacking defensive skills, defensive builds, and shields when this is unintended. Barbarians and Druids will not benefit from Dexterity as much as builds using 1-handed weapons with shields. Players investing in dexterity should have about 1 per level, which would result in blocking about 50% with a shield of 100%CtBlock, a shield of 50%CtBlock results in 25% blocking. The CtBlock of a shield should be broken down as: 40% player type, 10% shield type, 10-30% shield magic properties, 30% player skills. If the player has no 30% bonus from skills, then they would block roughly 35% of the time, which equivalent to a 50% boost to effective life.
35) Gems, Runes, and Jewels should give small bonuses since they could be inserted about 10-20 times. Jewels have many assorted mods (100), while runes (20 for weap/armor/shield) and gems (15 for weap/armor/shield) have relatively few. Gems are easy to get and have predictable mods. Runes are rarer, and their mods should remain relevant and useful as part of Runewords. Jewels are common, but rarely possess the same sets of properties.
36) Skill levels progress in Tiers, where each tier is about 7 levels and gets progressively stronger. The last tier is for all levels above 28, so gear that increases levels excessively will cause skills to behave mostly as their strongest tier dictates. To balance skills easily, gear should not boost levels more than about level 35 so that the last tier is filled with 7 levels. If a low-damage skill should be changed into a high-damage skill, then just make it's last tier very powerful and allow for one or two items with +20 to +40 to that skill.
37) Given that skills can be raised to 20 without items, and level 35 is a desireable maximum, consider the distribution of +Skill items as: Weapon(+3),Shield(+3),Armor(+0),Hat(+3),Amulet(+2),2xRings(+1),Gloves(+1),Boots(+1),Belt(+0),Charms(+0)
38) Skills generally have effects which are %-based (enhanced damage) or number-based (damage). Since a skill can only be raised 20 times without items, but there are 100 character levels, a skills can quickly be maxed. The %-based skills are balanced by items, so are safe to max early. If number-based skills are balanced with the idea that the skill is raised every level, then the skill quickly becomes obsolete. Synergy skills can be used to overcome this, but so can rebalancing around the idea that the skill is raised once every 2 or 3 levels. A steeply raising mana cost is used to keep the skill balanced.
39) Monsters regenerate hitpoints at the rate of 0.610% per second per regen point. This is not the same as Replenish Life for players, which yields x*25/256 HP per second. If a monster has a regen of 5, then it fully heals in about 30 seconds.
40) Melee players generally attack 4-6 times per second, so at 5/25 monHP damage, they should kill 1 monster per second. Area of Effect spells generally hit 4-8 monsters, so at 5/25 monHP damage, they would be the same as melee damage output if they were cast once per second. Damage over time spells (poison, flames, Damage Per Second (DPS) spells) should do half the damage per second, but twice the damage overall, e.g. 2/25 monHP for 5 seconds.
41) Monsters may have counter-attacks that occur most often when they are hit quickly, but will not occur for DPS attacks (since these "hit" 25 times per second).
42) Monsters' on attack elemental damage can be chosen from fire, lightning, cold/chill, poison (does double damage per second, doesn't stack), random (one of the previous 4), cold/freeze, magic, life (if dmg=1 & life=100%1000min1000max, then 1 dmg & 10 life lost & min(dmg,lifeLost) HP restored), mana (if dmg=1 & mana=100%1000min1000max, then 1 dmg & 10mana lost & 10 HP restored), stam (if dmg=1 & stam=100%1000min1000max, then 1 dmg & 10 stam lost), and stun.
43) Poison damage is calculated as a number per frame, along with a calculation of the number of frames. The damage per frame is simply the total of all sources of poison damage (equipment and skills), the number of frames is the average of each source. Note that the number of frames on a magic item is the total of the frames of the prefix and suffix mods on that source. E.G "Venomous Sword of Poison" where the prefix does 1 dmg/frame over 50 frames, the suffix does 3 dmg/frame over 25 frames, the sword would do (1+3) dmg/frame over (50+25) frames or 400dmg/4sec. If used with a skill (or gem) doing 2dmg/frame over 50frames, the damage is (4+2) dmg/frame over (100+50)/2 frames or 450dmg/3sec.
44) Jewels and specific gems (i.e. "gpw" (Perfect Diamond) is okay but not "gem") are valid in Runewords. Gems could be used to raise the level or socket requirement while providing a mediocre mod. Jewels allow player-customization of the runeword, which is novel.
45) IgnoreTargetDefence and %Reduce-AC did not work for boss-flagged monsters at all. Bow skills did not use their ToHit columns.
46) DragonFlight as an onHit mod simply teleports a player to the monster that hit them, there is no attack produced.
47) Enchant works at full strength for ranged attacks. +%FireMastery did not apply to fire damage added to ranged attack by Enchant (only skill damage), but did apply to melee damage. Enchant did not boost DragonTail's explosion.
48) Replenish Life is limited to -30 to +33 only for random items saved after being generated. i.e. A magic or unique item with +100 ReplenishLife will be reduced to +33 only when a new game is joined. Gem stats are not limited this way (they are likely saved differently).
49) Since monster HP and damaged are determined by the step-wise OpenWounds function, they are hard to map to an elegant function. Note that D2 uses integer math, so 10/5 == 14/5 == 2. Monster damage is very closely between: lvl/2+(lvl*lvl)/45 < monDmg < lvl+(lvl*lvl)/70. These functions intersect at level 88 (A2 NM). The smaller function is within 3 values of monDmg for levels 70-95 (A4Norm to A5Hell), and generally a little below monDmg, so is the better function to use alone. If the damage Tiers are set to zero with emin=1 emax=1, and synergyCalc=(100*fn(ulvl)), then the skill level is irrelevant, though it could be used as a flag, e.g. lvl>40? (act boss) : lvl>20? (boss) : (trash).
50) The Cleansing aura is hard-coded to reduce curse duration based only on the skill level. Testing shows that the reduction is very close to level/(level+2)%; E.G lvl 1=33% (1/3), 2=50% (2/4), 3=60% (3/5), 4=66% (4/6), 5=72.4% (5/7)etc.
51) To improve consistency among randomly enchanted items (each receiving between 1 and 6 affixes), each affix should have multiple minor effects. i.e. If every weapon affix includes 10% enhanced damage, then every enchanted weapon should have between 10%-60%.
52) To decrease the difference between Superior (non enchanted, but 1-2 minor affixes and available for RuneWords), Magic (1-2 major affixes), and Rare (3-6 major affixes) items, plain items should receive automatic mods (e.g. Crossbows with 50% pierce target or reduce enemy AC, Blunt weapons with bonuses to undead, Axes with bonues to demons, etc). This way items go from 1-6 mods to 3-8 mods, making the maximum items about twice as effective as minumum items, rather than six times as effective.
53) The affixes of two handed weapons are not easily separated from one handed weapons, so two handed automods should be adjusted at higher levels. e.g. Around level 90 two handed weapons should have +6 skills, but rare affixes can never yield more than +3, so the automods of high level two handed weapons should include +3 skills.
54) Using automods rather than staffmods prevents the problem of overleveled skills (+6 necro skill possible at game start, where +0 expected). Consider an automod of +1ClassSkills since it preserves the benefit while smoothing the effect. This kind of automod makes Runewords simpler, since the +Skills portion is handled by the base item.
55) Giving all characters an invisible passive skill at character creation can help overcome the hardcoded limitations of stat benefits (e.g. Dex giving +1AC/5 points, no ARating from Str, Blocking formula requiring 2 Dex per level to break even, etc).
56) Players should negate (not resist) around 33% of monster damage, so small changes to monster damage feel significant and appear to increase the damage range. EG monDmg = 66-133 (Range=MinDmg), with -33% Dmg = 33-100 (range=2xMinDmg). Damage after -33% will "feel" normal even though it's only 67% of normal. Enhanced monDmg (EG +25%) will be reduced from 125 to 92, but since 92 is 37% larger than 67, the +25% will "feel" like +37%. Consider monster enhancements no larger than 30%.
57) Damage negation is applied to each element separately, so monsters that attack with multiple elements should have a small damage bonus to each or one main with one minor element. EG (-33%Dmg Negation): 2x50Dmg becomes 2x17Dmg (66% reduced, "feels" like 1/2 normal damage), 2x66 becomes 2x33 (50% reduced, "feels" like normal damage), 1x90+1x10 becomes 1x57 (43% reduced, "feels" like 6/7th normal damage)

Balance Point Examples


1) Monster HP, Damage:
1.1) About 4 monsters per player.
1.2) Converted monsters will be influenced by player buffs.
1.3) Minions roughly 1/3 as effective as player tanks.
1.4) Level 10 monsters have about 300 HP, so Lvl 10 Tanks do about 60 damage.
1.5) About 3 Lvl10 buffed converted Monsters should do about 60 damage and have total HP as a tank player.
1.6) A single buffed monster does 20 damage, so unbuffed does 10 (arbitrary).
1.7) Tanks survive about 20 monster melee attacks, so have about 200 effective HP
1.8) Fragile Players have 1/4 the HP of tanks and triple the damage or AoE, so 50HP and 180 damage at level 10.
1.9) Monster elemental on attack damage set to: 90-110%phys/mag/cold(2sec Chill) = 70-130%fire/ltng = 50%pois (4sec) = 20-25%mana (+80-100%phys) = 50-50%life (+40-60%phys) = 100-100%stam (+90-110%phys) = stun(2sec) (+90-110%phys)
1.A) Stronger monsters (300%HP), miniBosses(2k%HP) and ActBosses(5k%HP) do extra damage respectively: (+20% or 2Elements at 100%), (+100%|2Elem@+20%|3Elem@-15%), (+200%|2Elem@+60%|3Elem@+20%)


2) Monster Attack Rate:
2.1) 4 Monsters per player
2.2) Tanks kill with 5 swings and survive 20 (melee).
2.3) A Tank should receive 20 swings in the time he outputs 20 swings.
2.4) If Monsters attack at the same rate as Tank players, then the player receives 50 (i.e. 20+15+10+5) swings engaging 4 monsters. Monsters should miss about 60% of the time (via block, defence, negation, deflection, life leach, reduced attack rate etc).


3) Player resistances:
3.1) Player resistances should be similar to monster resistances (so 0 Norm, 25% NM, 50% Hell, with exceptions). With 6 elements to consider, one or two of them with +49%, the average monster res is actually (18% Norm, 43% NM, 68% Hell).
3.2) Consider 50% max elemental resistances, 25% elemental absorbtion, 33% negation. When all are maxed, this will effectively resist 83% elemental damage, which should be an exceptional case.
3.3) Consider 75% max shield block, 50% phys resistance, 33% damage negation. When all are maxed, this will effectively resist 92% physical damage, which should be an exceptional case.
3.4) 66% energy shield (max .5 efficiency), 33% damage negation. When maxed, these will effectively resist 99% of all damage, with loss of 33% as mana. This effectively converts each mana to 3 HP so a fragile character can Tank while they have mana.
3.5) Damage negation capped at 33% should be relatively easy to attain since it's small. Resistance cap at 50% should be attainable, since it can be reduced by skills. Absorbs cap of 25% should be very challenging, since it can not be reduced.


4) HP, Mana, Damage, Damage negation, spell cost:
4.1) Open Wounds dealing 1/3 monster life as damage over 8 seconds determines monster HP since OW is hardcoded.
4.2) Tanks kill monsters in 5 hits now determines Tank damage.
4.3) Three Converted Monsters doing about the damage of a Tank determines Monster melee damage at about 1/6 Tank damage.
4.4) Tanks die in about 20 melee monster attacks implies Tank HP. (1250 + 3X)*2.25 = 5000
4.5) Fragile players have 1/4 Tank HP, and do about three times tank damage determines Fragile player stats.
4.6) Maxed Energy Shield convert 1MP to 3HP before evasive multipliers (x2.25), so 1250HP needs 600MP to tank.
4.6) Hirelings and summons are about 2/3 as effective as players (HP, damage).
4.7) Damage Negation is capped by limited availability to about 33% monster damage.
4.8) The buff to a player from gear should account for about 50% of the player's effectiveness,
4.9) Monsters hit Tanks 40% of the time. %THit = 200 * ALvl/(ALvl+DLvl) * AR/(AR+Def) = 200*1/(1+1)*1/(1+1.5)
4.A) Tanks hit Monsters 90% of the time, note Barb, Pala, Asin get about +15ALvl. %THit= 200*(0.58) *(4/5)
4.B) Shields block around 50% for Pala (with HShield), relies on Dex. 0.5 = .75*(Dex-15)/(Lvl*2), Dex=4/3*Lvl+15
4.C) BlK_33 is the dex to block at 33% by level.
4.D) Dex = +5 AR, +1 AC per point, so Tank AR & Def should probably be triple this (each skill gives +100% AR or Def)
4.E) T_AR=(Dex*5+Gear?)*(1+GearBonus?+Skill200%Bonus), TMinAC=(DexAC+Gear?)*(1+weaponBonus?+Skill200%Bonus). ???=0
4.F) T_AC=3*(DexAC+Gear), Gear=5*Dex_AC (Tanks), 1*T_DexAC (Fragile), so T_Def about 3*F_Def (Monsters hit fragiles 66%)

5) Damage Reflection:
5.1) Since Monster damage is about 1/30 of monster HP a reflection rate of 3000% will 1-hit kill a monster. This should be very hard to achieve. A reflection rate of 600% is equivalent to the damage a Tanking player would output, but would effectively trade player life for AoE, which appears balanced in the view of a fragile player doing either three times Tank damage or AoE.
5.2) Since the damage reflected is only the damage received (resisted damage isn't considered), this strategy should be balanced with that in mind.
5.3) The reflected damage is reduced by monster physical resistance, so items that reduce enemy physical resistance should sometimes be paired with damage reflection items.
5.4) Since monsters often attack with multiple elements and non-physical attacks, or ranged attacks (unreflectable), builds relying on DamageReflection should account for this (elemental resists, regular attacks and anti-range options)


6) Mana and Spell cost:
6.1) Fragile players do three times the damage of Tanks, so they kill monsters in about 2 hits.
6.2) Monsters outnumber players by about 4 to 1, so a fragile player needs mana for about 8 casts that hit.
6.3) Fragile players have 1/4 the life of Tanks.
6.4) Energy shield maxed can convert 1 mana to 3 HP, and should account for about 3/4 of a Tank's HP.
6.5) Builds relying on energy shield should have 1 HP per 1 mana, with their HP = 1/4 of a Tank's HP.
6.6) A Lvl10 Fragile player should have 50HP, 50MP, and their auto-hitting spells should cost about 6 MP.
6.7) Tanking players require 5 hits per monster, or mana for about 20 casts that hit.
6.8) Tanking players with high HP should not have access to energy shield, which is inforced by having reduced mana.
6.9) Tanking players require spells that cost very little (about 1 to 6 MP).
6.A) Monsters can inflict negative mana regeneration (-80% to -300%, 2 to 6 seconds).
6.B) Mana regenerates normally at MAX_MP/60 mana per second, so a high-MP (600) player with +100%Regen would get 20MP/sec.

7) Summons:
7.1) Depending on how numerous a summon is, its power varies. If a char's purpose was to summon a single critter, then the critter should be nearly as strong as a player. Multiple summons essentially distribute the AoE of the player, lock enemies in place, and increase the player's HP. Multiple summons are balanced as a whole, for example Skellies (corpse required) should be durable, require significant investment, and are capped at three at once. Three skellies together should have about 2/3 the HP of a Tank like a Hireling does. Three skellies together should do about 2/3 the damage of a Tank. Recastable Golems (2 allowed at once) should together have the offence of a Fragile player, with similar durability, balanced for the lack of control the player has over minion AI. Summon stats normally follow linear growth unless a Mastery skill exists to allow exponential growth (since +Skill mods will allow improvements to the summon and the mastery at once). Exponential growth is possible if the stat is generated by dividing a number with a progressively smaller number. In this case the divisor is reduced as points are placed into the skill. Example calculation (lvl1=175, 10=657,20=1325, 30=3125):
"175000/(1000-max(0,min(7,lvl-1))*100-max(0,min(8,lvl-8))*17-max(0,min(6,lvl-16))*8-max(0,min(6,lvl-22))*9-max(0,lvl-28)*3)"
7.2) A purely summoning character should still be limited in role as either a Tank or damaging character.
7.3) Recastable (no corpse) tanks should be relatively fragile, and could be viewed as Fragile players (high dmg).
7.4) Non recastable (corpse required) could be stronger, but not as strong as a Hireling (perhaps lacking resistances).

H.7.3) Shield - life and mana regen (5+10%, 10+10%, 15+10%, 20+10%, 25+10%, 30+10%)
H.8) Runes - mods should be beyond rare/magic quality, since these form runewords which are similar to unique items.


I) Monster Variety - Monsters are categorized as Melee, Archer, Mage, sub boss, and boss.
I.1) Non-boss monsters should have 100% attributes for HP, Damage, Armor, Experience, and Attack Rating.
I.1.1) Melee should have improvements such as Armor, HP, Attack Rating to compensate for lack of range
I.1.2) Archers should have detriments in Attack Rating and Armor
I.1.3) Mages are ranged and ignore player armor, so have detriments in HP and Armor
I.2) Sub-bosses follow the same rules as in (I.1), but have 600% HP and Exp, 150% Armor and ARating, 200% Damage
I.3) Bosses are unique, but generally have 2000% to 5000% HP and EXP, and 300% damage.


J) Skill Bonus Availability - Should be limited based on player level. Since it is possible to pass-down items with +Skill bonuses to new characters, a method of determining the total +Skills players have is to limit the availability of the bonus according to the item slot.
J.1) Once an item slot at a given level has been allocated as possibly having a +Skill bonus, higher level items of that slot should also have the +Skill bonus, or similarly useful properties.
J.2) Classes have items (Shield, weapon, hat) which give +1Skill to +3Skill bonuses as soon as the game begins, so the slots where these items exist should be the initial sources of +Skill bonuses. 2-Handed weapons should have properties that include the loss of the shield slot.
J.3) Elemental Damage Bonus - Should be limited in the same manner as +Skill bonuses. +%ElemDmg is essentially the same as +Skill bonuses, but limited to damaging skills, therefore a +Skill bonus can be substituted for +%ElemDmg, but there should be other bonuses that make up for the loss to non-damaging skills. The item slots that initially receive the +%ElemDmg bonus should be the slots which did not initially receive a +Skill bonus (such as boots, gloves, armor, belt). Only unique, set, and crafted items will have +%ElemDmg. %PierceRes reduces enemy resistance to damage, so it is the same as +%ElemDmg, except that in Hell Difficulty, where monster average resistance is 50%, %PierceRes is twice as effective, so should be allocated in 1/2 the amount of +%ElemDmg.
J.4) Increased Attack Speed (IAS) and Faster Cast Rate (FCR) increase a player's damage output, so are effectively the same as +Skills or +%ElemDmg, but they also effectively increase the mana cost of skills since more skills are cast to acheive the increased damage. Due to frame-rate based synchronous programming of the D2 game engine, there are set numbers where the % bonus to IAS or FCR improve the player's performance. These set numbers vary by the sprite representing the player with their weapon (so a shapreshifted Druid is different from a human Druid, and a 1-H sword might be swung faster than a 2-H sword), but generally a 90% bonus to FCR improves damage output by 50% while a 100% bonus to IAS improves damage by 150%-200% (shapeshifted Druids) or 50% to 100% (Barbs). Note that weapons without IAS have a default speed measured in the same units as IAS, so the IAS mod is simply added to the weapon's base speed to determine it's effect. Note that Barbarians using Whirlwind or shapeshifted Druids primarily benefit from the IAS of the weapon, and not from sources of IAS from other gear. Note that the Whirlwind skill initially attacks at frame 4 and 8 regardless of the weapon speed. Note that skill-based IAS is generally so effective that player's with a quick weapon and under the effects of Fanatacism, Frenzy, Burst of Speed, or IncreasedSpeed will reach their attack rate cap (usually 4 or 5 frames, i.e. 6.25 or 5 attacks per second). IAS should be restricted to gloves or weapons. FCRate does not need to be restricted heavily, since it increases mana cost for the extra damage, and results in a relativley minor improvement even at 90%.
J.5) Faster Block Rate (FBR) and Faster Hit Recovery (FHR) are included in this section for convenience, and each reduces the number of frames required for blocking or recoverying from a big hit (>20% player life?). A player can only block a hit if they are not already carrying out the blocking animation, so Faster Block Rate can be seen as an increase to the player's life (although generally it allows them to more easily run from being surrounded). While the hit recovery animation is playing, a player may not move or attack, so FHR can be viewed as a means of maintaining the player's damage (not increasing it, but preventing it from being decreased). FBR should be restricted to shields, where 90% generally doubles the number of blocking events. FHR does not need to be restricted since it only prevents the loss of damage already factored into the balance of the mod; 90% generally halves the recovery animation.
J.6) Consider these combinations of levels, item slot, +Skill bonus and %EleDmg bonus, Crushing Blow, %PhysRes:
Level ItemSlots TotalBonus Level ItemSlots MaxCBlow
1 ClassItm,Rod,2-H 2 1 wpn8 8%

90 ClasSet10% 33%
95 Wpn5% 36%
100 Wpn10% 40%


K) Some mods can be easily abused, such as Vendor-Price-Reduction (at 75%, the buy-sell cycle is infinite) and Crushing Blow (since it reduces by %life, even bosses are as easy as trash monsters)
Level ItemSlot VPReduce
20 glove8 8%
53 armo8 16%
60 10xjew2 36%
62 amul8 44%
68 hat8 52%
80 Charm8 60%


L) Deadly Strike double damage while Crushing Blow removes 10% currentMonHP. Melee attacks do 5/25monHP dmg against trash, 5/200 against named, 5/1250 against act bosses. Note CBlow effects are halved against non-trash and halved again from missile weapons. Below are DS/CB equivalencies.
L.1) DStrike damage = 2*Dmg*(DS%) + Dmg*(1-DS%). e.g. DS=50%, Dmg = 100, 2*100*0.5 + 100*(1-0.5) = 150
L.2) CBlow damage = Dmg + CB%*monHP/10. e.g. CB% = 10%, Dmg=100, monHP=1000, 100 + 0.1*1000/10 = 110; note that the next hit would have CB doing less dmg since the monster's HP dropped.
L.3) Dstrike is superior for trash while CBlow is drastically superior for stronger monsters. Consider limiting DStrike to about 75% and CBlow to about 10% (or 15% since its effect is reduced by monster weakening)
L.4) Note that Static Field acts as 100% Crushing Blow against all monsters in rage, but each difficulty has a limit for the minimum monHP affected by it. (Norm=50%, NM=65%, Hell=80%)
Dmg DStrike CBlow
Trash 25% 50%
Named 25% 12%
ABoss 25% 2%
Trash 50% 100%
Named 50% 26%
ABoss 50% 4%
Named 75% 38%
ABoss 75% 6%
Named 100% 50%
ABoss 100% 8%

M) EnhancedDamage vs Monster acts as an off-weapon bonus in the same way as the bonus from Str/Dex stats, skills, and other off-weapon +%EDmg bonuses.
M.1) End-game stats are expected to add around +150%EDmg, and skills are expected to add around +150%EDmg, an attack is expected to do 4 (i.e. base + 300%*base) times the weapon damage.
M.2) EDmgVsMon would need to have an effect of 20-33% to be noticeable, so the expected attack should go from 4 times to about 5 times (i.e. EDmgVsMon should be around 100% to 150%).
M.3) If a weapon has a bonus to multiple monster types, each bonus is applied separately for each type the monster qualifies for. i.e. +100%vsHumans and +100%vsBeasts would do +200%vsHumanBeasts (e.g. GoatMen)
M.4) As of March 27th, 2016, MonsterTypes have been assigned with the following totals:
161 Undead, 99 Behemoth, 158 Human, 28 Deity
82 Construct, 47 Insect, 44 Dragon, 227 Demon
74 Elemental, 111 Beast, 336 HybridTypes (e.g. BeastHuman)
M.5) It seems fair that a bonus that applies to fewer monsters should be a bit larger to compensate. (perhaps +150% to +200%)
M.6) If a weapon does relatively low damage, then the EDmgVsMon bonus should be larger (perhaps 300% to 400% for weapons that have no base EnhancedDamage (100% is normal))

You weren't kidding when you said the modder is weird.

[Anonymous:]

Well, i get this feeling that this modder and netherworld rises modder were smoking the same stuff.
This current new version 1.7 - no skill prerequisites, just the level limit. And you add skill points into skill once every 2 lvls. So to put 20 points into zeal you will need to be (12 lvl + 38lvl) = lvl 50. Niiiice. Also i checked and some skills were removed, some edited. This will be helpfull to kill some time before other mods come out.
