my dream unique shield

[Cruciarius]

i'd love to have something like this, for my fire ele druid.

Shield Type: Aegis
Required Level: 85
Required Strength: 219
Durability: 92
+100-200% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+5-20% To Fire Skill Damage (varies)
+1-5 To Fire Golem (varies)
+1-5 To Firestorm (varies)
+1-5 To Fire Ball (varies)
Level 10-15 Holy Fire When Equipped (varies)
-10% Enemy fire resistance
Fire Absorb 10-20% (varies)
socketed (1-2) (varies)

great mods, i think, but in an aegis, which requires a ton of strength. :wink:

the main mod i want, is + to fire golem, so anyone, with this shield, can have one.

Thats a really good idea, I love it :grin:
Heres my idea for an amazing shield (for my vengance pally :smiley: )

Zakarum Shield
Clvl. 92
1200-1256 defense
Smite Damage: 60-64
Required 314 strength
+3-8 to Venagance (Varies)
+1-5 to Salvation (varies)
Level 5-10 Redemtion Aura when equipped (varies)
+1-3 To Defensive Auras (varies)
25-90 Fire Damage
1-200 Lightning Damage
30-50 Cold damage
+10 to Energy
3-7% Mana stolen per hit (varies)
50-75% Increase to attack rating (varies)
Cannot use Offensive Auras when equipped
Cannot use Zeal when equipped

Cannot use zeal because it would be too heavy :cool:

[nickedoff]

Both of those are insanely overpowered :P

[Cruciarius]

over powered? i guess so, but so are half the rune words, IMO. :rolleyes:

ok, how about this:

Shield Type: Aegis
Required Level: 85
Required Strength: 219
Durability: 92
+100-200% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+5-20% To Fire Skill Damage (varies)
+3-8 To Fire Golem (varies)
Level 5-15 Holy Fire When Equipped (varies)
-10% Enemy fire resistance
+5% max fire resist
+20% To Fire Resistance
-20% To Cold Resistance
Fire Absorb 10-20% (varies)
Level 10 Fireball charges (22)
socketed (0-2) (varies)

i don't think it's any more powerful than the paladin shield, dragonscale. other than, this one adds the holy fire aura and has sockets.

[nickedoff]

Hm, that one's better.
Fire golem takes a buttload of mana, though, so a lot of classes might not use it.

[NewblarofDoom]

I don't think either of those are overpowered. They would add appeal to builds that are rarely played anymore and make the game more balanced.

[baffle]

I also did not see anything overpowered about the suggestions, I thought they were some of the most balanced suggestions I've seen in a while... and I like them.

The mana cost of a Fire Golem is irrelevant, unless you only use it for it's death damage.

[Cruciarius]

i like the 2nd shield idea i posted, more than the first. not only for the increased fire golem lvl, but also the cold resist penalty. very few items have penalties, in D2. back in D1, their were more, i think. we need another patch. even if it gives penalties to some of the existing items.

also, what rarely played builds, would benefit from these? i know my fire ele druid, would most likely use the shield. though i wouldn't say the fire ele build is rare. i hang out in the druid grove, on useast, and their are at least half of the regulars, making fire eles.

i wonder...does any blizzard employee look at these forums? not for item ideas really, but maybe for bugs and such.

its time to remove teleport from enigma!

Would be better if Hrs wouldn't get duped at all and be as rare they supposed to be. Then no runeword would be considered overpowered beside spirit and insight:wink3:

[Triekje]

Then no runeword would be considered overpowered beside spirit and insightWell even if they don't get duped this much.. u have to admit 2Hr's for this kind of armor.... at least give it teleport charges then... because +x to teleport is just to much... every character is a sorc this way.. :undecided:. with other kinds of skills then ofc., but u know what i mean.

D2 looks and is a bit overpowerd nowadays... the runewords are VERY strong but because of those dupers the rw's are easyer to make. i pitty that, so i hope blizz will come to it senses one time and make this game like it was... Godly :laugh:.

Though blizzard can let people wait bit long :undecided:.

Let's gather our powers and eliminate those dupers and shops once and forever :evil:!

Cheers,

yes, but what about all the things that give auras, when equipped? that makes everyone paladins.

i don't mind the auras or + to other class skills (like enigma's tele), but it's that they normally only need 2 hrs to make, which isn't too difficult to get your hands on.

they should make rune drops rarer or make the rune words harder to make, some how.

[Omikron8]

its time to remove teleport from enigma!

and battle orders
and conviction
and fanaticism
and concentration
too many to list

[lothars]

its time to remove teleport from enigma!

I disagree It's no where near necessary but to remove it would be harsh IMO

[Cruciarius]

even if they did remove any of the mods, from any item, those mods will remain on the existing items, so you'd still be able to get a nigma with + to tele and all those others.

[Triekje]

[Terenas]

Hey, wait a second, please. Rune drops rarer ?
I assume you witnessed Lo, Jah, Zod, Ber and many other runes pouring from the skies of Cold Plains in dozens.

You would need a long time of ladder cubing to get a lot of high runes, even rushing hf mules all the time.
I myself only had these runes (above or equal to Pul, excluding hellforge) drop since their appearance on the realms: 1 Vex, 1 Mal, 2-3 Pul. Not exactly overkill right ?

[Cruciarius]

well i see people trade like 10 hrs for some items. thats just crazy. i think the best rune i've ever found was an ist, but that was back in 09. i'm like the most unlucky person, when it comes to finding runes. heck, my hell countess runs usually give me 2 el runes every time. :shocked:

[DennisBergkamp]

It's not that they should be rarer to find (HR drops are extremely rare already, I found a HR ONCE, it was an ohm, and I also saw a gul drop once from some random minion), but they should make duping more difficult.

[Cruciarius]

don't do anything with duping difficulty. just give a harsher punishment.

[Triekje]

but they should make duping more difficult.BAN IT! not make it more difficult...

i had quite alot of Hr drops last ladder... but the droprate is quite good for Hr's if they wouldn't be duped i think enigma will cost ALOT more. Though ist runes stay dropping frequently from forges... found those ALOT from forge and other places.

Runewords should just be less overpowerd imo... If u good a good classic sorc u can do around 8 forges every 1-2 hours... u just need enough friends that dont want to do anything for a full hour :azn:

[Cruciarius]

they already cd-key ban people for mh and duping as well, i think.

they shouldn't wait and do mass bans though. as soon as a user is caught using mh or duping, cd-key ban them. why wait? just so they can post "well we banned 300 people for using cheats, today.". just do it as you catch them.

back in 09, it was sad. i was reporting 2 people a day, about, for mh and bots. i got tired of reporting people, so i kind of cut back, when 1.10 was first released. now, all i really see are bots. mh users don't come out and say they use mh, as often, anymore, so i'm guessing reporting them helped.

o and btw, to report people, all you need is to email blizzard simple screenshot of the user admitting they use cheats and give their account name. :thumbsup: i'm sure blizzard looks into the account, before doing anything though.

I really doubt anyone even reads those emails.

[kingdryland]

Both of those are insanely overpowered :P


Both have crap block...

[Cruciarius]

Both have crap block...
so? if they added a similar shield, to what i posted, i'd definitely use it on my fire ele druid. he is pvm, so his build has nothing to dex. therefor, no max block anyway. my merc is my meat shield, so i rarely get hit.

[kingdryland]

I have no objections whatsoever. Just they don't seem too overpowered in my eyes with such a flaw.
