i understand you guys are trying to explain how to "fix the issue"

but explain why mana pots = no but insight = yes?

just let them pot.. potting fixes the same problem insight does..

and by allowing pots, you can potentially increase item and build diversity.

edit - insight is honestly the worst solution, its super dangerous to swap off your shield, and have to wait for mana


i agree. i dont think mana pots are big enough of an issue to warrant banning. but a lot of people are passionate about it o.o
maybe we could just unban them completely for the time being (not that people have perfect gear anyways) and see how people like it

that said i do recall points being risen earlier about spamming, like a necro just not caring and spamming spirit like its nothing, never having a vulnerable moment. but im guessing the same is achieved without pots with enough 15/12s in inventory.

If someone has insight out they are at these disadvantages:

#1 no shield they can’t block

#2 they don’t have their +skill weapons on so they are dealing less dmg (apart from charger)

It is quite significant to allow pots. Can allow somebody to spend mana recklessly not get punished for it and instead of ever having a vulnerable phase with two points above they are instead full strength. Diminishes from gearing and from resource management and allows you to achieve more hp focused gear since you know you can have a belt full of super manas. I think it’s lame entirely and contradictory to what makes LLD fun imo

i had "allowed vs barb and pala" but alot of people wont understand that
so its easier to just say banned (noting assassins really wont lose much vs much else).
long term once ppl understand the concept of balance i would allow it vs barb and pala.
you dont need mindblast vs everything else.

Werewolf found another bug. apparently holding charge now acts like zeal once beside your opponent (with charge damage enabled). that will fall under "no intentional bug abuse"
