Question

[Valherran]

Would it be unbalanced to be able to block all projectiles including spell projectiles with a shield? Reason asking is I am having trouble with Lava Lords in Act 1 Hell Difficulty and my Warrior gets dropped in 4 hits by these things. Getting resistance on an item that isnt littered with negative affixes (which IMHO is ridiculously frequent) is very hard to come by, I am surprised my resistance is positive on any section...

I don't understand what you're actually asking

If resistances is what you currently need, then you can sacrifice some other properties (equip items with resistances and some negative affixes), then switch back to your old gear once you move away from the area with the Lava Lords. Besides, you're a Warrior, you can craft shields with resistances. There are also recipes to produce rings and amulets with resistances.

He would like to know if you could do it so that Elemental ranged Spells can be blocked.

Actually i agree that in RL you can Block burning Rocks wich are thrown at you with a shild, but neigher in Diablo nor in games like Wow ode RoM you can Block those Spells. I am wondering why..

However Resistance is an issue in BtH especially in hellmode. There are only a few Sources to get elemental Resistance. Btw what happened to the original Anya quest? Why isnt there a Resistance scroll for doing a quest wich replaced it? (dunno wich one it will be).

[Valherran]

In Diablo 1 it was almost a requirment to carry a shield in the Caves in Hell Difficulty because Lightning Beasts and Lava Lords will tear you apart in seconds without it, and that is WITH max resistance <.<

I also found a bug while hunting for more books, if you create a town portal in Dungeon level 2, there is a random chance you will spawn in Halls Of The Blind.

[Seraph Uri-el]

actually its not a random chance. propably you created a Townportal where the stonecircle is or at leat near the circle. if you do so you allway get to the halls of blind. The range of that circle can be 2 or 3 rooms and it can be on any level 2 or 3 Dungeon. Sometimes there are 2-3 circles within one level.

[Valherran]

Really? I know you were supposed to do it near a circle, but I was waaaay far away from it, and it has happened more than once so far, but if it doesn't bother anyone then oh well but I was just throing that out there to make sure. Anything you can do about my request? That would save us from so much torture...

Do you see me actively working on the mod?

[Valherran]

No because I have not been here in a long time due to me being out of state for a long period of time so if you aren't working on this and are working on something else then sorry, however if you decide to come back to this would you please put this into consideration?

I'm not working on anything modding related at the moment due to lack of free time (I haven't even been as active in the forums lately). But who knows what might happen in the future.
