Diablo II Resurrected
Derekplus idea list
TLDR: My ideas revolve around improving the fundamental character building of Diablo II. Bringing back melee classes by adding AOE into 4 of the classes (Barb, Druid, Pally, Amazon.) Reworking some of the least used skills and giving them new life without changing the classes too much. Adding more items that can open up new builds for people to experiment and have fun! Adding new portals similar to the cow level. Increasing the size of some areas. Rebalancing all 4 of the helpers. Finishing Act 4.

- Add 'Rift Shrine' in Hell difficulty - Rifts are massive randomly generated areas with very high monster density and level.

- Redo Tristram so that it's a closer representation to Diablo 1 original size.
- Add 'Cathedral' 3 Level Dungeon (This could be a massive 16 level dungeon)
- Add 'Black Cave' 1 Level Dungeon - Increase size of The Pit Level 2 in Tamoe Highland
- Occasionally add a second entrance to the Maggot Lair in The Far Oasis.
- Increase the size of The Ancient Tunnel in The Lost City and add more than one entrance.
Hireling/Mercenary Specific Updates
A lot of things can be done here. This is just a few of my ideas.
- Add new looks for all Hirelings, resembling the armor they currently have equipped.
- Add a Magic Arrow Rogue in Nightmare and Hell Difficulty.
- Change Desert Mercenaries Auras in Hell Difficulty.
- Holy Shock, Cleansing, and Vigor. OR just make completely new auras for the Desert Mercs. - Add 'Fire/Cold/Lightning Mastery' to respective Ironwolves
- Add 3 new Act 5 Hirelings after you defeat the Ancients.
- 1 x 1h Sword/Shield and Whirlwind (Similar to Talic the Defender)
- 2 x 1h Throwing Axes and Double Throw (Similar to Madawc the Guardian)
- 2h Spear and Leap (Similar to Korlic the Protector)
OR Better yet Change the Hirelings completely, here is my idea for that: - - Give them 1 Ability to start, and give them 2 skills to choose from and 1 skill point at 10, 20 and 30. (Can only have 1 equiped at a time)
- Rogue: Start with Inner Sight and can now equip bows, crossbows, and javelins.
- At level 10 choose one: Magic Arrow or Fire Arrow
- At level 20 choose one: Cold Arrow or Poison Javelin
- At level 30 choose one: Immolation Arrow or Plague Javelin - Desert Mercenaries: Start with Jab and have the same equipment options
- At level 10 choose one: Might or Prayer
- At level 20 choose one: Defiance or Thorns
- At level 30 choose one: Blessed Aim or Holy Freeze - Ironwolves: Start with Ice, fire or lightning mastery and have the same equipment options
- At level 10 choose one: Charged Bolt or Inferno
- At level 20 choose one: Fireball or Ice Blast
- At level 30 choose one: Glacial Spike or Lightning - Barbarians Starts with Bash and can use any equipment (Including a bow, why not?)
- At level 10 choose one: Sword Mastery or Axe Mastery
- At level 20 choose one: Increased Speed or Leap
- At level 30 choose one: Double Throw or Whirlwind
NPC Updates
After you Defeat Diablo, more NPCs should appear in all of the towers, that have different/new interactions.
- Natalya 'The Demon Hunter'
- Natalya comes back to Act 3 with a Demon Hunter inspired look - New Monk NPC and New Hirelings: Monk
- Skills: Fists of Thunder*/Dragon Flight
- Equipment: Armor, Helms, and 2h Staff
- Notes: The Monk is very quick and has a higher ability to dodge enemy's attacks.
Fists of Thunder*: This would be the same as the Assassin skill Claws of Thunder, but would not require a claw.
Monk and Demon Hunter NPC
FINISH ACT IV
Finish Act 4! Add 3 new quests, 6 new waypoints, and many new areas!
- New Quest: The Deep Abyss: After Defeating Diablo, a big crack appears in the middle of Diablo's summoning platform allowing you to go deeper into the Chaos Sanctuary....
- New Quest: Prisoners of The Abyss: 'The Warden' has captured a group of warriors. Once you defeat The Warden, you can hire the Warriors from Tyreal. Both Halbu and Jamella are Warriors, so it would be really cool to add a male and female version of this hireling.
- New Quest: *****
