all through the game my ranger has been supremely overpowered, eithar that or nightmare mode is glitched because this game is a cakewalk so far killed the divine in two hits and do about 1500 dmg unbuffed to mobs 2 levels above me is it actually gonna get difficult?
I'm surprised about nightmare mode, but I did start on 'easy' and end up on 'hard' - if you build carefully, and spend enough time managing your inventory, enchants and plan for your malachite gems, you're going to be pretty awesome. My DPS mage could do 10,000 damage in 2 seconds by level 40 without potions... (although then I'd be waiting for spell cooldowns, and would have no choice but to spam magic-missile for a 'mere' 3,500 per 1.5 seconds).
That's right. I've read lots of post about people having tuff-times on lesser diff settings. With the right build and/or playstyle, any of the classes can be rather devastating. Dealing 10,000 Dmg is just insane and it's funny how 3,500 is ref to as MERE...LOL
The orig D2:ED was a lot harder IMO, and posed more of a challenge. This is my 2nd playthrough of DKS, on nightmare. My current character is severely gimped at lvl 24 w/ lvl 10 stats, and the OF has not exactly been a walkthrough, as my previous DW Warrior just slaughtered everything. It has however, been the balance of gameplay I was looking for.
The easiest way to make it harder is to get naked and use your fist...lol
