Well verdungo on barb would be really good then since 40 vita =160life and bo = x2.7 thats 432hp alone.

How would Shako be OP with no Vitality / Intelligence adds other than +2 Attributes?

Shako:
+2 To All Skills
+ (1.5 Per Character Level) 1-148 To Life (Based On Character Level)
+ (1.5 Per Character Level) 1-148 To Mana (Based On Character Level)
Damage Reduced By 10%
50% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
+2 To All Attributes

War Travs not being Elite:
+150-190% Enhanced Defense (varies)
25% Faster Run/Walk
+10 To Vitality
+10 To Strength
Adds 15-25 Damage
40% Slower Stamina Drain
Attacker Takes Damage Of 5-10 (varies)
30-50% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (varies)

Sand Treks Boots (Elite):
+140-170% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+20% Faster Hit Recovery
+20% Faster Run/Walk
+ (1 Per Character Level) +1-99 Maximum Stamina (Based On Character Level)
+10-15 To Strength (varies)
+10-15 To Vitality (varies)
50% Slower Stamina Drain
Poison Resist +40-70% (varies)
Repairs 1 Durability In 20 Seconds

Mahim Oak Amulet would be more useful as well as Saracens Chance:
+10 Defense
+10% Enhanced Defense
+10% Bonus To Attack Rating
All Resistances +10
+10 To All Attributes

Saracen's Chance:
10% Chance To Cast Level 2 Iron Maiden When Struck
All Resistances +15-25 (varies)
+12 To All Attributes

Mara's would be increased:
+2 To All Skills
All Resistances +20-30 (varies)
+5 To All Attributes

Of Course Charms would make a difference?
What about Set Items?

Aldurs Set would get a great boost:

Helm
+90 Defense
25% Faster Hit Recovery
Regenerate Mana 17%
Cold Resist +40-50% (varies)
Socketed (2)
+5 To Light Radius
+15 To Energy (2 Item)
+15 To Energy (3 Items)
+15 To Energy (Completed Set)

Armor
+300 Defense
Requirements -50%
Lightning Resist +40-50% (varies)
+15 To Dexterity
+20 To Strength
+1 To Elemental Skills (Druid Only)
+1 To Shape Shifting Skills (Druid Only)
+15 To Vitality (2 Item)
+15 To Vitality (3 Items)
+15 To Vitality (Completed Set)

Well, that was a basic rundown of the suggestion... could be that Crafted / Rares will make more of an impact.

It would be except you are only using it vs other melee.

What exact reason you trying to achieve here? This to me sounds like a balance patch idea but what are you balancing?

Once upon a time life/mana based on level was the coolest mods they ever invented. Vita and energy scale with bo and other hp buff. They just nerfed it for no reason maybe due to bug?

They made tones of energy/vita items/mods became almost useless.

By fixing this the game would be so much more exciting for people to hunt more different items

As far as I can remember life/mana per character level was never bo-able so not sure what you are talking about.

This will explain https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=28710016

As far as i remember it used to be. You just havent played d2 in its earliest days.

When a shako used to give 40%life was the days vita/hp/mana based on character levels was bo'able.

I think its time for them to fix this whether its a bug or a nerf.

What year/patch was this? Because this sounds ancient like more than 20years ago
