This is going to be the first Modded Diablo 2 Walkthrough posted with an approval of D2JSP Moderators, and I hope we can keep up the good vibes and stay friendly both in this topic, and in this new made sub.
This Walkthrough is NOT legit. If you want to follow one of the legit ones, go here
https://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=161This Walkthrough uses a 3rd party program, that changes Diablo 2 and makes it almost a whole new game.
I can only imagine how tricky and difficult it will be to moderate and keep an eye on this sub as there will be grey zones in rules and/or people who as per usual, don't really care about mentioned rules.
So I would kindly ask you to follow the rules for this topic to keep it opened
Rules:
DO NOT ask for a mod name, do not pm me for a mod name, do not mention mod name if you know it. Perhaps it is allowed to mention it, but for now, just to be on a safe side, please don't.
DO NOT post any outside links which might be related to this mod, or any other mods.
DO NOT flame me or eachother, as I guess there will always be people that support mods, and people that hate mods. As mentioned above, there's a Legit PvM sub if you dislike this.
Thanks guys
Few things about this mod:
- it has completely different skill sets on every character ingame. It's a common thing to see a summoner Barbarian, melee Necro, or Druid transoformed into a giant Quill Rat.
- it has bigger inventory and stash than vanilla Diablo 2.
- it has way more content than vanilla Diablo 2. New maps are added, new bosses are added, new ubers are added.
- it has new item stats, new uniques and new runewords.
- it has new recipes for crafting and anything can be crafted, including jewels.
- new ubers and bosses drop Unique Charms (like Annihilus / Torch in vanilla) which stats varies so reruning is worth doing.
- level cap is increased to 130
- it has new mercanary options. in vanilla Diablo 2 we could choose between Offensive, Defensive and Combat act 2 mercenaries. In this mod every act (1-2-3-5) has different mercenary options. For example, one of the options is Act 2 Mercenary that transforms into Werebear and provides crowd control every X attacks knocking back enemies.
- it has higher resolution options, up to 1600x1200. I will be played in windowed 1280x960
- pressing the R key on keyboard reveals the whole map of the act you are in
- base FRW is increased, so walking is same speed as vanilla Diablo 2 running. Running is much faster, but it makes your block 0%
I'm almost completely clueless about the the mod itself as I only tried it online with few guys for a month or two and I only tried 3 characters.
If there is someone more experienced, or has any insights during my play, be free to drop some tips. I would appreciate it.
Gameplay Rules:
-legit singleplayer gameplay
-softcore as I am too unexperienced with this mod to even attempt hardcore. I want to have fun and I know that on my online play, I died over 200 times on my amazon.
-players 1, as adding more players option is disabled as far as I know, but even on Players1, this mod can be really challenging.
-I will try to post as many details as I can think of, as I guess perhaps someone cares enough to read it
I will try progressing and mostly playing as a Psionic Storm Assassin.
There are items that allow you to respec, so I might use them if I start struggling with planned build.
This is what Psionic Storm is, and what it looks like

Unsustainable even while chugging mana pots.
Heals with every cast IF mana is above 10%
