Would bumping a Sorceress to level 24 VS lv 18 Meta builds (Charger... Bowa...PH Sin... Etc.) be too OP?

By bumping to level 24 (Sorceress's in this instance) you get the ability to hit 105% fcr/86% Fhr pretty easy and get some added damage. maxed out stats/gear you barely tickle most lv 18s.

would also unlock 15Life/12 Mana & these next skills...

ES
TS

METEOR

BLIZZARD
CHILLING ARMOR




fireball with perfect gear would be at this ( not using sigs)

Actually a pretty good idea.

Honestly don't know, I've seen people go down on level to balance out some character builds but never up

However I'd say build it, test it, and then review it with others to see how well it'd integrate into the pvp 18 bracket

Hope this helps

im almost tempted to say...

make lv 24 GM

Sorceress's
LS trap sin's
Wind Druid's
hdin's

i have a 18FB sorc on d2r and it can almost stand toe to toe with most lvl 18's. i dont think lvl 24 would be fair at all that's huge dmg increase. might aswell make it lvl 25 and join the boyz

Did it on europe back in lod days. Me and thesnipa built a lot of level24 chars. Belarathon made a nuts charger too I think. Wasnt a good idea to mix with 18s for almost all builds. Not sure if D2R would be different.

Fire sorcs were too strong. They could face tank a lot of builds. Wasnt exactly exciting to play or vs. Cold sorcs were a pain in the ass too. Light sorcs were crap (cant recall trying charged bolt)

Windys were still bad. More of a tvt char that could tank but not do much damage. Trappers I dont recall but I think claw staffmods are not available at 24.

hdins at 18 played like a weaker charger. hdins at 24 played like a stronger charger.

Inventories (3/xx/15 and 15/12) were far too strong.

Think would have the same outcome... since now chars have had a decade or 2 to perfect their builds/gear?

trappers seem meh.

you can only get +1 trap claws ( i did out a quick build for one... damage looks like this....)



ie... about -48 (0% Lite Res) to -12 life at max res a ls hit ( saying it lands a max dmg ls...)

maxed out lv 24 hdin (75% fcr)

817 Damage = -136 Life/ Conc'd Hammer



VS

maxed out lv 18 hdin

265 Damage = -44 Life/ Conc'd Hammer
