No butterfly disney villains this time around.

Also, if I equip a staff that gives an INT boost, shouldn’t the damage I deal go up?

Int raises All Res in D4. You can see what each stat does by hovering over it.

A lot of your combat pain points are solvable with gear in endgame (effects still won’t be flashy tho). Pretty sure D2 early game consisted of chugging mana potions non-stop until you got the Tal Sth rune word for your helmet. Which really isn’t all that different from spamming Basic attacks until you get aspects and talents/skill in D4.

Honestly it sounds like you just wanted Diablo 2 (2023). Nothing wrong with that of course but I don’t quite understand why you wouldn’t play PoE then. That game strikes a good balance between modern and old school while also upholding the more hardcore nature of D2.

I had to unsubscribe from r/news when stories of shootings started to pop up daily. Not saying that this shouldn’t be posted here, just highlighting how depressing the news coming out of the US have become. Every day the same story, the same statements, the same news cycles, the same comments and no end in sight.

Hope the injured victims survive and the US finally finds a common ground again. They need it desperately.
