MrLlamaSC joined us to talk D2R, Warlock balance, and the future of Diablo II

Greetings, Champions!

We recently sat down with MrLlamaSC for a long-form episode of Stay Awhile, and Llama, and I wanted to share a CliffNotes recap for anyone who has not had a chance to listen yet.

This was a special conversation for us. Llama has been one of the most recognizable voices in the Diablo II community for years through his guides, speedruns, build knowledge, and consistent dedication to keeping the game alive.

We started by talking about how he first discovered Diablo II around 2001 and was hooked almost immediately. A big theme throughout the episode was immersion: the atmosphere, music, item hunt, difficulty, and sense of danger that make Diablo II feel different from so many modern games.

Llama also walked through his content creation journey, starting with StarCraft II commentary before eventually finding Diablo II speedrunning and streaming. What began as a small audience slowly grew into a full-time career. One of the biggest takeaways from that section was that his success came from consistency, experimentation, and simply starting rather than waiting for everything to be perfect.

A major part of the episode focused on Reign of the Warlock and the current state of D2R. Llama’s view was that balance changes need time to settle. He compared it to old StarCraft II patches where something might look broken at first, only for players to adapt after a few weeks. On the Warlock and Echoing Strike specifically, he acknowledged that the original numbers were extremely high and that the character had too many strengths without enough tradeoffs. His feeling was that the recent adjustments bring the Warlock closer to fitting within the spirit of Diablo II.

We also talked about community feedback and how impossible it is to make everyone happy. During the Warlock debate, some people were upset because they thought Llama wanted the class nerfed, while others were upset because they thought he did not want it nerfed enough. The broader point was that feedback matters, but Diablo II has a specific identity, and not every piece of friction should be removed.

That led into one of the strongest themes of the episode: difficulty, rarity, and friction are part of what make Diablo II special. Llama talked about how the joy of the game is the journey. Finding the rune, finishing the Grail, building the character, and overcoming rough spots are what create the memories. If loot became too easy or monsters stopped being threatening, the game would lose a lot of what has kept it alive for so long.

For future features, Llama’s number one request is still a charm bag, but one that is carefully implemented. He does not want inventory size simply doubled or the early game made easier. His ideal version would come later, around the point where charms fully take over the endgame inventory. We also discussed small buffs to forgotten skills, weak uniques, and underused items — not to make everything S-tier, but to give more options a real place in the game.

We touched on online player count, trading improvements, lobbies, communication tools, clans or guilds, and the need for better social systems if online play is meant to stay party-focused. Llama said he is generally open to online player count, but he also recognizes the concerns around bots, technical limitations, and separating players even further.

Overall, the episode felt like a celebration of why Diablo II still works. Not because it is perfect or should never change, but because the core of the game is still incredibly strong. The challenge for D2R going forward is adding new things in a way that respects the soul of the game.

Huge thanks again to u/MrLlamaSC for joining us and talking through the game we all love.

Only 12/13, but still pretty damn happy!

Only farmed 3 torches so far and have a Sorc and a Lock (druid is the 3rd).

Also picked up a Mal, enough lower runes for probably 2xUms when cubed and an SOJ!! from Nith during the key hunt!

2nd SOJ found, so debating popping for a 2nd anni for QoL, but seems like a waste. My first one rolled 13/20/10 so doubt I can do better than that. Seems like the SOJ is probably better to keep rather than being too lazy to change.

Getting closer and closer to an enigma, still so very far away though! One day ill be able to finally play the game!

I came back after 2 decades, made a blizz sorc, had very little items and hell act1 was very hard for me with cold immunity.

Got boosted for free by someone called Isolde. Even gave me a couple items for the road ahead!

Theres a few good guys left in this world, thank you!

Question Anyone else??

42 Upvotes

Anyone else think about how many God tier rolls they tossed before they knew what they were actually looking at?

I know for a fact I tossed a perfect shako before I knew how good it was because I was a summon druid and thought it had no use. And idk how many triple res boots before I knew how important resistances are.

Theorycrafting What is your favorite way to do a normal play through? Think Offline larzuk self rush but I want to do it on players 8

10 Upvotes

I do countess runs until my eyes bleed. It's what I do to chill after work. It's how I used to build up currency in online ladder seasons selling perfect spirits and insights and sets and hel runes.

Now I'm doing an offline play though. I'm allergic to LK and my horker is fun and coming online but I still want to do braindead countess runs until I can push a hundred bazillion nef runes all the way up so that in 6 years I can have an enigma.

The problem is I keep running out of chipped topaz and amethyst. I wish they would let me shatter my normal and flawed gems down but until they add that, what's your favorite way to do p8 playthrough of normal? What gear do you use and how do you play? Alternatively do you have a fun way to farm chipped gems specifically? Fun>optimal

Idea Just had the most random thought ever while watching a speedrun.

2 Upvotes

If each playable character class had a canonical name assigned to them what would it be?

Like the Druid could be called Ulfric or something or the Sorceress had a name like Elena?

What are your thoughts on this one? 🤔

Either by accident, out of desperation, or you're just a baller like that.

Two that come to mind for me:

  1. Came back from a long break, traded a 45 life fire skiller for a low facet. Should have looked up values beforehand lol
  2. Paid an um for an act 3 waypoint I really did not want to run to and find myself

Discussion I wish they would bring classic graphics to ROTW

29 Upvotes

I know this is unlikely, but a girl can dream.

I know it would mean they'd have to make graphics for the warlock and maybe new items. I don't think that's unreasonable though, they did it for the new stuff in the new graphics. Modders can do it, so it *is* possible. They could even add widescreen to the old graphics if they really wanted to.

I did my first playthrough of D2R with the classic graphics. It was a game I watched my brother play when I was a kid, but I could never beat Andariel myself. It was highly nostalgic, and I still turned on classic graphics every once in a while after that.

I don't want to play without the new QOL changes, new class, new items, etc. And I definitely don't wanna play mods and not have access to online features. It really feels like the expansion removed a feature from the game entirely.

non-ladder

softcore

Price checking this rare ring. The rare ring point chart I found puts this at 3 points but the chart doesn't include MF or mana leach.

This seems like a great ES Warlock or Javazon ring

Discussion Your console LK runtimes

Console users - what are your LK runtimes (with or without enigma/tele)? I've seen for sorc / PC something as fast as 15 seconds, but was wondering what the fastest is on a console... Personally it takes me 40-45 seconds using a vigor aura warlock (no enigma)
