lol.

Doom and gloom soothsayers predicting the demise of low duelings predate 99% of the current active community.

Sorry GS, lld didn't die in 2003, nor will it die in 2012.

I know right? the rules seem so fucked up now, but back then they made a ton of sense. They were based on the LLD101 Rules, which at that point had become rather dated due to leadership quitting and then got it going on JSP.

The reason you'll notice all the physical damage classes are lower level is due to the lack of skill synergies back in that patch, caster HAD to be higher level in order to compete since they didn't scale nearly as well with gear/charms. The only rule there I can't remember too well is the assassin charge-up skill one, I think it was just poorly worded, and meant you couldn't just stack tiger/cobra striker charges and use a finisher... since the charge-up skills were allowed, and the finishers were too, just not in full conjunction. (Since Striker's level 20 assassin could one-shot HLD's with 3 charges of TS, which took a total of 25 frames...)

I was actually in high school still when that thread was made as well, lol. I started LLD'ing at 14 or something after Striker_99 introduced me to it with his 16barb, and I was in love with the concept of creating chars that could take down higher levels with ease ever since... in prettymuch every game possible too.



LLD as it was did die with 1.10, since the patch was so game-changing all of the builds people had put months+ into were turned to shit. It was a total reset on the idea of LLD, and required a whole new set of rules etc. in order to continue to exist.

LLD as a whole though will never die, even when d2 servers go down, the concept will live on in every game in which it is viable.

everything had to be recreated with 1.10 not just LLD

phys chars got a huge nerf with LL and casters got a huge buff with psynergies... tbh that patch probably saved D2

I do miss permaslow though

I've been messing around in D3 with some ideas for 9-30.
Monks will be very fun for vld.
Demon Hunters will pretty much own a 30 slot if you take it that high.
Barbs will be good at just about any level
Wizards will be very gear heavy
And as much as it pains me to say this, since they are the closest thing to a necro I will get... Witch doctors are pretty terrible. Even at high levels
you can't really do much except go bat build if you wanna survive, then the game play is boring since all you're doing is spaming bats. Its really nothing more than a support character, because of it's totums and lame wanna be curses.
It's like they took the worst parts of a necro and druid and called it a witch doctor.

GG thread.

things sure have changed.

sure screw thousands of countries and districts, no big deal. But get screwed just once and your gay for life.

zachary can handle it

quitting once again with announcements ...
