No amount of buffs to other classes are gonna make up for teleport and the visual AOE size of Sorc abilities just being bigger. The game would've needed a full class revamp otherwise.

It was a stupid, heavy-handed band-aid solution to a problem for which the correct fix was to thoughtfully buff the other classes.
No, the correct fix was to nerf teleport. Make it have like 3 charges max with a 5 second cd or something. TP is the only reason that class is utterly busted.

Yeah dude might as well just make a whole new game at that point brother. Call it like Diablo III or something along those lines.

You make a good point how many immunities did they bring over into Diablo 3? Oh that's right they dropped it because it was gayer than 8 dudes blowing 9 dudes. Even D3 knew it.

Sorry it went over your head let me explain it slowly for you... even the failure fucking retards who worked on Diablo 3 could recognize that immunities blow dog dicks and there is only one poster on this forum who is into that shit as far as I know.

Immunities were the quick fix to a problem that could have been remedied other ways and after 20 years should, and apparently, will be.

D3 sucks massive dick. Wouldn't use it as an example of good game design.

I dont see how some mobs being immune to certain elements because they are native to such things is bad game design (esp in a multiplayer game where one member can but another cant), sorry
It's bad game design.

You have two conflicting mechanics, synergies which want you to double down on one element and immunities which want you to have a spread of elements.

That's fine but if you don't max synergies, you have a weak build and can't kill anything, if you ignore immunities, you can't kill a large portion of enemies.

So the solution is forced grouping, even more NM Meph/Baal runs and hope gear can overcome it, or specific builds which deal with the issue better.

Diablo 2 isn't a multiplayer game, it's single player with optional grouping. I first played this on a 56k modem ffs. Don't think you've seen how shitty grouping is on the Nintendo Switch either.

Having extra mechanics to deal with it seems like a good idea. Especially if it has a cost.

I don't know why you guys continue to argue with them. They aren't even attempting to formulate a reasonable defense of immunities. They are using blanket, idiotic statements that equate to "Well if it wasn't for immunities you could just kill stuff" which is laughable and then relying on the "git gud" argument hoping to bait people into responding, which is working.
