Normal completed. tried some new things, didn't like some of them.
>Strength
not getting this to 25 is really painful. I will never be doing this again. only having access to small belts is suffering, plus the lightest body armor, Quilted Armor, requires 12 Strength. it also opens up a lot of opportunities on your other slots, stuff like Bone Helm requires 25 strength.
>Nova
I typically play farther back, as Fire Ball into Frozen Orb, but it's fun using Frost Nova and Nova and Static Field up close like that. definitely a different playstyle than I'm used to on my Sorceress. it does a lot of damage.
>Quick Cast Skills
I don't know if it's just because I haven't played in a while, or because I was using this setting, but I did not like this. my skills felt delayed, it's like in DotA 2 sometimes I can't cast the skills as quickly because it's quick cast on key up instead of key down, and it feels like Diablo 2 is using key up and that I can cancel the cast sometimes by clicking to send another input before it casts. back in the day I was very good at scrolling the wheel very precisely to the skill I wanted, and didn't use hotkeys other than to have my wheel scroll through them, but it's like modern mice make their scroll wheels for little girls or something because they offer no resistance or tactility to the clicking of the wheel, so I don't think I can scroll as precisely, regardless, I think it will establish bad habits against stuff like namelocking. and holding or spamming a key on the keyboard instead of having that hand available to micro your potions didn't feel great. I have thousands of hours in MOBAs, MMOs, and other ARPGs, that all use quick cast and skills bound to the keyboard, but it just feels off in Diablo 2. I think it's because in other games your skills have cooldowns so it doesn't feel as awkward to use the keyboard to cast them.
I'm very curious what other anon's experiences and opinions of the Quick Cast Skills setting is.
