Diablo 2.5 Diversity

Overview

The primary purpose of the mod, as the name suggests, seeks to increase build diversity. I'm not as concerned about typical builds - but giving more flexibility for end-game builds that are anything but typical. I have often found myself coming up with some very interesting builds that were cut short due to such a low number of options when it comes to certain critical mods/stats. So, by increasing weapon choices and re-working gems, I hope you can enjoy a little more flexibility - especially during leveling and early end-game.

I wanted to separate them into different mods with clearer titles/descriptions; however, I couldn't find a way to easily share my Javascript across my multiple mods without external tools. So, for now, it's together in a single mod. There is configuration available to enable/disable different features.

Disclaimers

• []I'm new to modding and this is the first mod I've ever built. Be nice.[/]

  []I have not done significant testing on all of configuration options for enabling/disabling features. If any of them don't work, just let me know and I'll fix it for you. [/]

  []On top of working overtime and enjoying my family of 4 young kids I really don't have much time. So as I've said elsewhere, please consider this a WORK IN PROGRESS and not a polished product.[/]

1) Overhaul #1: Gem rework

Gems have been completely reworked. I wanted gems to become more valuable and purposeful for various builds - rather than just an end-game currency for crafters. I have stretched out the life and purpose of gems to be much more focused towards both early game and end-game. The progression from Chipped --> Flawed --> Standard --> Flawless --> Perfect is much more defined and engineered rather than a mere linear increase in stats. I wanted gems to be an exciting drop and have immediate value for the leveling phases. Therefore, various QOL mods have been added to lower gems such as: %Dmg to mana; MAEK, LAEK, %Mana Regen; +Stamina; +StaminaRegen; +LightRadius; %FCR; %IAS; %Block; %FBR. 

The gem rework includes, but is not limited to:

[]Progression | Chipped/Flawed/Standard --> Stretched across 3 tiers that similarly mimics the native 5-tier gem system - but with extra mods.[/]

[]Progression | Flawless/Perfect --> Brand new progression built for early end-game[/]

[*]Weapons | All gems now have +elemental dmg/lvl instead of flat +elemental dmg for better scaling  (configurable)[/co
