    Build My Character - D2: Nightmare


    Build My Character - D2: Nightmare

    So I've been wanting to replay Diablo 2 again and I've thought of a fun little way to go about it. I have a hero and item editor program for the game, so I've made myself a level 35 Barbarian fresh into Nightmare Difficulty, with very little to start with.



    Most Recent Item Screenshots:



    The only catch is, I won't be allowing myself to use any equipment I find in the game. That's where you come in. You choose two of the following per day and I'll hack the attributes onto one of my pieces of equipment. I have chosen increments on the following spreadsheet, but you only have to look below to see what you can boost -



    After each update, I'll post screenshots of the equipment so you can see the progression.

    Attack:
    Attack Rating
    Hit Causes Monther to Flee %
    Reduce Target Defense

    Damage:
    Attacker Takes Damage of
    Chance of Open Wounds
    Min to Max Cold Damage (x-2x dmg)
    Max Cold Damage
    2H Min to Max Dmg (Wep)
    2H Min to Max Dmg
    2H Min to Max Dmg
    2H Min to Max Dmg
    Max Dmg per Level (Div. by 8)
    Damage to Mana%
    Min to Max Fire Damage (x-2x dmg)
    Max Fire Damage
    Min to Max Lightning dmg (1-x)
    Max Lightning Damage
    Min to Max Magic Damage (x-2x dmg)
    Max Magic Damage
    Max Poison Damage
    Poison Damage

    Defense:
    Defense vs Melee
    Defense vs Missle
    Defense (Up to 4 items)
    Defense per Level (Div. 8)
    Reduce Monster Defense Per Hit

    Extra:
    Heal After Each Kill
    Experience Gain

    Other:
    Cannot be Frozen
    Chance of Blocking
    Knockback
    Mana After Each Kill
    Regenerate Mana %
    Replenish Life
    Slower Stamina Drain
    Slows Target by %

    Pierce: (Reduce Enemy Resistance)
    Pierce Cold
    Pierce Fire
    Pierce Lightning
    Pierce Fire

    Reduce:
    Reduce Damage By
    Damage Reduced By %
    Magic Damage Reduce By
    Poison Length Reduced By %

    Resist:
    Fire Resist
    Cold Resist
    Lightning Resist
    Poison Resist
    Max Cold Resist
    Max Fire Resist
    Max Lightning Resist
    Max Poison Resist
    All Resists

    Speed:
    Faster Block Rate
    Faster Cast Rate
    Faster Hit Recovery
    Faster Run/Walk
    Increased Attack Speed

    Stats:
    Dexterity
    Energy
    Life
    Strength
    Vitality

    Steal:
    Life
    Mana

    The only equipment I can find or buy will be for my mercenary, and Act 2 defiance merc (also level 35).

    If there is any interest, I may stream myself running quests on this character.
    Simply comment with two of the above attributes if you'd like to participate.


    Now I'm just trying the game with this on hand and seeing how it goes.

          The same attribute can be picked multiple times, so you you don't have to worry about not picking what someone else did.

          Except for attack freezes target, I'll take that off the list now that it's been picked.

          Edit:// Added in screenshots of the items that have been boosted so far

                Never played them. Are there easy to use "hacking" tools for them for something like this?

                    I don't know if any of the existing D2 hacking tools would work on either of them, but they're both so fundamentally different from D2 mechanically and WAAYY harder, that just succeeding at either of them is enough of a challenge to not worry about things like not using certain gear.

                      I'm familiar with this, and I have the tools to make this work. It's more about giving up control over what my characters attributes will be that I find interesting.

                      Besides the challenge will be well enough, my damage is shit right now and a champion fallen can still hit for 20-30% of my health on a good swing lol.

                      Edit:// For progression sake, I'm going to allow one post per day boosting stats rather than per week. Otherwise I think it would take to long to progress imo.

                        gotta spam some skills. (I'm surprised you use +1 increments, I'd expect like +5)

                          lol @ /players 8

                          I will have to increase some increments. I'll take some video when I do the Den so people can see the creation in action.

                          I'm going to need some health potions

                            I gave up on this. For a challenge, I'm going to try beating normal with this wonderful charm in my inventory. Two positive traits, and a whole lot of negatives -
