Then allowing both amp an bo would make sense. Everyone gets the life/mana buff except barbs which is a nice measure to weaken them, but if the necro is adept at keeping amp up, the barb can gain his power back through team synergy.
We didn't go for FPK in lld on legacy for the most part. Maybe Coooley did but no mainstream llders did. Variety is the spice of life after all! One of the most fun events though was IAmAsylum's B-tier tourney :) Can be found in his profile.
In an FPK scenario, I don't think cube buffing should be allowed, but cube telesticks yes. In team duels, you want quick turnover for max fun. Waiting around for barbs to repair/change gear/change back can be annoying to some. There is no real need to cube buff bo anyways. Druids recasting cyclone and zoo makes total sense in this scenario also, because trappers are the only ele damage which have a huge advan over windies. And windies with a tele staff are also at a big risk of being 1-ww'd by amp ww on top of the trapper disadvan, so full zoo seems great. I don't know about BA recast on necros. I get that amp ww and nado are huge damage, but BA is so poweful also. It's a close call, but I would say no to BA recast.
Outside of those fpk scenarios, I feel that limiting zons to 120% frw is pretty whack. It's not like zons can stack free frw, they are sacrificing life to do so. And everything else teles at way faster fcr bps than a zon can reach, so zon needs to make up the mobility somehow. Mind blast is legit OP af on a talented sin esp in teams. I actually think taking psychic hammer instead of MB could be worth a try since you still get the kb effect for some defense but without the op stun swirls. However, I am not sure how fhr or stun swirls even work in d2r so, I can't really comment too much. In legacy, 1 pt prayer is an absolute no. Din desync level on legacy is so high, if a din with 1 pt prayer doesn't want to die, it's generally not going to die except to bowa. In d2r, I understand that din desync is far less, so maybe prayer wouldn't be so op, not sure. There is no reason to limit mastery on barbs.
Cube buff now has shift click, you can full cube buff in sub 3 seconds.
Zons passives have changed now they don’t go into animation when anything is triggered. They’re hard to pin.
FHR is basically null aside of sorc/necro.
Barbs are being nerfed because they’re just too strong since the ww hit interaction has been changed. Seemed like the best course of action.
Come over to D2R sometime, the game is pretty nuts right now and gear isn’t that expensive.
