yes. i never carry tome. that is the mark of a noobie portal barb. sling only. but yea, even when removing the oskill it doesnt seem to reset the portal void range. i keep having to leave after ~2-3 tombs or i lose exp. it makes act 3 nearly unfarmable since the void box becomes so large the act nearly gets full cleared at high scaled tps. around 700-900 portals in a bportal glitch essentially covers 1/3rd of act 3s jungle which means even with teleport and high fcr you can't close the gap anymore since you can only tele like 1/30th of the act 3 jg. this is amazing for magic finding but horrible for rushing to level 99 and bruns are now stalling out since the exp requirements to 98 and 99 are so high


dude holy shit

I think j just discovered a way to reset it, but the issue is it's not very feasible and requires 2 accounts + controller.

1) bring barb and random hell character to act 1 rogue encamp
2) on barb, with mouse, click a potion off of your belt and hold on your cursor
3) plugin controller and you'll be able to walk while holding an item, but it's a phantom state (barb client only)
4) walk outside and have other player hostile you and then with potion on cursor and try to open portal with skill.
5) you'll get error (I can't do that)
6) then you'll notice next bportal you cast will be original size and will grow again as usual

I've been fooling around trying to figure out something for like 5 hours and this is all I've gotten, it works, but it's not feasible for farming tbh

its not a joke dude. you can see videos, build breakdowns, and explanations of the mechanics here. its more about the barbs ability to get high FCR and low animation windows which enables bportal glitching.

I play on PC too, but I have controller next to PC for some other games. Controller is really buggy for d2r. It works but like I said why would anyone wanna do that every few mins lol

Let's be honest casters needed a ring that slowed by 15 percent

They didn't dominate attackers enough now they get an easy 40 percent slow for spells like smite and guided arrow.

Jokes on us who liked playing d2 before Microsoft had to shit on us for even more money

I’m thinking it’s time to go back to lod

All the quality of life upgrades are not worth dealing with the mosaic the warloc and now portal barb

Gonna let the zoomers do their zooming I guess

Sad how true this is. I really liked hustle and the TZ changes and thought they had sone a pretty decent job and should have focused on fixing things instead of new things.
