Announcements - What's coming in 1.0.5? - Forum

what about low life freeze mine...i expect someone could easily get 9k freeze with it even after the nerf. so...whats the point of nerfing the skill in the first place? seems like its just become overly popular and only reason its touched is because of some random ppl in the forum (1% of total population active) complaining about things in the game they dont understand in the first place. seems like a waste of time for ggg...make coc coldsnap and its the same "Ring around the Rosie" all over again.

Brother Laz was (is?) THE D2 modder. Median and its later incarnations kept me, and thousands of other players, playing Diablo II well past its standard "expiration date". Thanks to Laz, I not only played D2 for 11 years, I also started modding with a large amount of guidance from him. In fact at one point, Xypherous (of League of Legends fame) and I began planning out a mod of Median that we called "Median Mean Mode" (a bad math joke). (Doubt anybody remembers me, I'm Borgin on the old forums)	Posted by ADarkSpirit#1821 on Dec 30, 2013, 12:29:35 PM Quote this Post

The freeze mine mention is interesting, especially considering the only problem with it is elemental proliferation, and they must know that since Neon has been aware of it for a long time. For some reason I'm expecting a lazy handling of the situation.	Posted by Magnicon#6598 on Dec 30, 2013, 12:44:52 PM Quote this Post
even 50% reduction of the freeze amount isnt enough to stop proliferation. thats what ppl dont understand...

" Uvne wrote: The problem isn't freeze mine, it's elemental proliferation. If you band-aid fix this, it will make it harder for legitimate uses of the skill to work, and proliferated freezes will still be objectively better because they scale irrespective of the monster's health. I'm a specialized trapper at level 89, and a level 20/cold pen freeze mine only freezes most bosses for around a second when the boss is alone. These are bosses in 70-74 maps, so the effectiveness for the highest level content would be a lot worse. The abuse is being able to bounce max duration freezes off trash mobs with Elemental Proliferation. this ^^^	Posted by jamesl#0818 on Dec 30, 2013, 1:05:34 PM Quote this Post
