Crafting:
Heavenly Strength is finally granting to Crusader the ability to wield two-handed weapons with his main hand while using a shield. You can unlock Heavenly Strength by reaching the maximum level of the new Crusader’s passive Hold Your Ground. To turn 2h weapons into 1h ones, go to the blacksmith in Devil’s Crossing and use your 2h vanilla weapon to craft a special 1h Crusader melee weapon. The crafted weapons don’t work with vanilla sets and not all the 2h weapons from AOM is available for crafting for now.
The loottables became a huge problem in the last patches. To give players an alternative to find all the Diablo 3 items, now it’s possible to craft random D3 items in the Devil’s Crossing blacksmith. You need to collect 5 of the new Forgotten Soul materials + 75.000 iron bits to craft a D3 item. The character level will determine what kind of item you’ll get: <50 = Epics >50 = Legendaries >82 = Mythical Epics and Mythical Legendaries
I was surprised at the fact that the skill needed so much energy in the first place, so I made it a challenge in itself. I pulled out all the stops to make sure my Energy regen was high enough to keep the buff constant - Energy Cost Reduction, loads of energy regen, Harp and Tree of Life. It was a lot of fun building in that way, I’ll post the full build once I flesh out more ideas.
My statement was a joke, I don’t think it needs a higher energy cost for now. There are only a few classes that have the Energy Regen to pull off what I did - Arcanist and GQ Storm (which is the class I chose) for sure, but I doubt I’d be able to pull this off with something like Necro or Shaman.

I noticed a bug with the monk’s “Empowered Wave” modifier. If you have the pre-requisite Wave of Light, you don’t actually need to get your mastery up to the 20 point stage to put points in that mastery.
Thanks for this mod. Diablo 3 had some great classes, and I love how you imported them into GD.
Holy Cow. What amazing progress! I cannot believe you have implemented things similar to ‘forgotten souls’ and ‘Kanai’s Cube’. I have yet to play this new patch but I wonder how it all works. Great work, Grimer. You sure are not a Crate employee? Hrmm… If you recall, famous modder Brother Laz who created the Diablo 2 mod Median (still going strong btw) was hired by Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile) to create uniques. He knew how to create “fun” items in Diablo 2 and apparently it carried over to Path of Exile. I say all this hoping Crate will read this and hire you, Grimer! You work so hard for no monetary gain. I love your passion. Don’t get me wrong, there are other great mods out there, but nothing as “revolutionary” as this mod, in my humble opinion. Keep at it, Grimer. I am starting to get excited again for this game, mostly because of this mod, and partly due to new expansion coming. I’ve taken a long break and did not think I would return.
