Diablo 2: The Untold Tragic Fall of The Sorcerer

[@theoldbarny4195]

the fall of the sorcerer started when he put level up points into health, not magic

[@boryswolszczak5293]

the fall is that he didn't use mana shield and had 1hp* (as you could done in D1 100% legal**. All guys on BN did it as if you had less than 10hp you couldn't be stunned or blocked. You had constant perfect FHR) *max 1hp 1/1 with full points in health ** in 4lvl you had yellow zomies, didnt remeber the name, and those zombies decreased your max health by every hit. Just take hew hits and your max health go down I even have my chars form battle new saved somewhere on mail:)

[@SeruraRenge11]

But he didn't put points in health, The Summoner goes down in like 2 hits once you actually reach him.

This was one of your best lore videos by far. It really covers the length of the character in all of the franchises incarnations.

[@moseslalmuanpuia8988]

I absolutely agree with what you said about the sorcerer not getting credit from anyone. Prominent characters who sacrificed themselves like the three heroes in 1 and tal rasha just don't get the legacy they deserve. Heck deckard cain was so careful to make sure that diablo daughter host character in 3 would get a clean legacy. The aforementioned deserve far better than her.

[@elhazelrah]

How’s the summoning going? Hopefully not bold.

[@NickyBlue99]

Summon a succubus

[@sideways5153]

An idea I have about the Sorcerer from Diablo 1 is that maybe he was still sane enough to seek refuge, and hoped that Horazon’s sanctuary was still safe from demonic influence. Only after reaching the arcane sanctuary was it revealed the sorcerer had been manipulated by the forces of Terror, and was at some point trapped by the demonic forces. Whether the sorcerer was lured into a den already filled with demons or corrupted by dark influences to think he was able to control demons as Horazon supposedly did, I think it makes sense that for a while the sorcerer stayed sane in the same way the warrior took time to be controlled by Diablo himself

Well that explains my confusion when I was 14-15 and playing D2 like a madman (hardcore ruined me, I've been a permadeath junkie for 16 years because of this game). I always wondered why he was called a "false summoner" when he was tagged as "The summoner" in combat... And no, I hadn't played D1 at the time and didn't really follow all the intricacies of the lore.

[@Unchainedful]

Because your character and every npc in Diablo 2 believed that it was Horazon himself in the sanctuary, everyone assumed that the Sorcerer from Diablo 1 perished in the sanctuary. So when everyone found out it wasn’t Horazon(the true summoner) himself, the summoner in Diablo 2(Diablo 1 sorcerer) was labeled the false summoner. The heroes and npc of Diablo 2 were pissed off for it to not be Horazon due to the fact that everyone wanted closure and answers, some of the heroes wanted the feat of killing the true Harazon, only to be robbed when they found out that it’s simply a normal sorcerer.
