>>2167491I messed up the cross-thread link. Sorry Bros. Here's the correct one: >>2139706
I've done all seasonal quests, collected every reward there was. What is this thing still hassling me about?
What the fuck, tempers can GA?
>Get home>get on game>do some quests>see World Boss spawning in Dry Steppes>decide fuck it I've done some World Bosses>get lost 3 times going there because I don't know where>find it with 2 minutes left>no one is there>not a single person>decide fuck it i'm strong>ONE guy shows up right as it starts>we 2v1 that fat fuck>6 loot goblins out of his box>tons of stuff>I say thanks>he just uses the cheer emote and leaves
>>2167077>I wasnt sure how "undo"able the new boards would beThey are very easy to reset with no penalty at that. It's at the push of a button.>Is 16k Toughness a decent amount?That's the question of the day. If you can consistently deal damage and stay alive you're good. It's a quite obscure system that calculates all your defensive stats into one. Before toughness was introduced we had armor (capped at1000), percentage resistances (max 70%) and it was very clear you needed a 1000 armor and your resistances for a specific difiiculty to viably run it. These days it's whether you can dole out the beating and not be on the getting the short end of the stick. So, other than "if you stay alive you're good" I couldn't really say despite my best intentions.
>>2167637Well, considering what just happened in the post right above yours, with 0 death scares, I think it's working!Also>easy to reset with no penaltySo many games with variable skill trees and lots of options could learn from that. I just attached my second board, the one with Blood Rage since I'm so hyper-focused on bleed. Blood rage also just comes with the 60% damage increase while Berserking, which I am frequently doing.
Storm Druid was not a lot of fun at all; I think I got spoiled by running around as an Arbiter. Respec'd into full-on-Werebear + poison and I feel much more powerful, though it did almost turn it into a single button build
Well, no one showed up so I had to solo the fat bitch. There's a chest that apparently requires some kind of "divine gift" or some kind of corrupted tongue, and all I got was like, a legendary spear lmao. Not even a little box to open or anything.
>>2167705well; this was a freebie
>>2167762What's with the funky colors in your screenshots?
>>2167762I need to add swordbro on discord, we seem to play the same games in the same style and also make the same based style of deck building
>>2168264swordbro rules. he reminds me of the based druid guy from a few seasons ago
>>2167982So i don't know how long I've been doing it, but I've always slightly tweaked my PC games towards a Colorblind mode that makes reds more magenta, but in this game it goes whole hog and I kinda love how strange it looks when someone gets ripped open and it looks like they're full of cranberry sauce lmao>>2168264Well I'm usually available to be found on Twitch since I stream, there's a discord from therespeaking of, you reminded me i have to do thatCan confirm it was Obducite, and as a followup question, should I always be drinkin' elixirs? They don't seem to drop too often so I'd hate to waste them if it's better to keep them for later.
>>2168388elixirs are good for small buffs and more xp. you'll get to a point where you can craft enough to use them all the time or any time you want
>>2168388>TwitchName?
>>2168441take a guess dummy
>>2168403>you can craft enough to use them all the timeholy shit i can craft these? welp, gonna at least keep a shitty one on forever now lmao>>2168441Swordbro_Streams
i am slowly convincing others that if they use purple pigment for their outfit, they will see more mythics drop... heheh
>>2168491I wish they would add some more color options. I'm really not fond of most of them depending on the armor set
I want to run lair bosses for gear but I'm scared of getting one-shotted again. My first run ended trying one on t1.. got to t3/para 150 today and now I'm feeling too invested.. are there any other events to get solid end-game gear or should I bite the bullet
>>2168519bite the bullet or wait for me to get home in a couple hours and help you :)
>get a random 3 ancestral grandfather>gets heir of perdition mythic power on sanctifyHoly shiet
havent played since season 1, thinking about giving 11 a go.what class comes online the fastest? i've played barb/rogue before and those feel pretty miserable until the build actually starts coming together gear-wise
>>2168598paladinkek
I think I know how to fix the diablo story for the next expansion. Immediately, a new villain named Dr. Insano appears and begins to rip apart reality. Neyrelle, having withstood the power of hatred and darkness, as well as akarat's super light and forgiveness, goes ssj 4 and fights Dr. Insano in the multiverse arena for all eternity. Diablo, tyrael, mephisto, and lorath all get together and instantly agree that Neyrelle will stay out of their universe forever. Also, Tyrael reveals that he was pranking everyone the whole time, and is not actually a human since he realized that he needs to be in some part demon. Prava dies of laughter as she hands the players a ray gun that makes the prime evils immune to being sucked into a black soul stone retroactively when their soul stones are shattered again. then the expansion starts.
>>2168598I have no experience with the other characters/classes, but having just started playing for the first time last month and zerging through the game up to pit lv110 (no idea what the true reference point is) without too much issue, I'd have to agree with Paladin being the easiest choice.
>>2168598Necromancer is pretty good. Lots of fun builds.I decided to go a custom shadow/summon build for awhile, mostly farming helltides and a variety of stuff, then torment 2 had me optimize into all summon, though shadow is better I hear.
>>2168598The game is in such a state that every class is at this okay plateau where nearly everything end game to varying levels of success/effort, and paladin is like 10-25x stronger than those classes.
just logged in
just checked out the store
I need some assistance sorting out the wheat from the chaff here. I don't use most of these for my current build (Arbiter Wing Strikes) and I don't foresee swapping to another build at present. I would like to either sell this or trade it or give it to clan members if there is some interest because the rest of my stash slots are just as full with other random garbo (bags of obols, dungeon keys, runes, varieties of GA ancestral items, and other potentially-useful equipment for my build). It is otherwise cutting into my farming because I don't really like just trashing items if someone else can utilize it, but I haven't engaged in any trading on D4.I had similar issues when I was playing D2R for the first time a while back and I maxed out my character selection with mules for equipment, not that the issue was solved either.
>>2169047IF you have the materials, the answer this season is simple, socket/enchant/mw sanctify everything you want to use and toss out the rest. i've seen and tossed 4ga griswolds because they'll never beat what i have sanctified on it on it's a grandfather or skill ranks.
>>2169060unless it's grandfather or skill ranks*
>>2169060That sounds easy enough since I do have a ton of the materials. I'll do that for the 2 Griswolds I have there at least then. I was trying to wait for a better GA with a good roll on the unique effect as well before I did the sanctification dance, but I was neglecting the premise of getting a crazy sanctification result.As for farming that sword - it drops from Andy/Duriel/Dog of Hatred, correct? I haven't found very many of them, disappointingly. I was going to shift to using my Obols on trying to get more copies as well since fishing for build-relevant rings has been a pain overall (I try to keep too much).
Lookin' like it's coming right down to it
>>2169077Yeah, some people are just slamming sanctifies on non-GA griswolds just to get a grandfather sanc
>>2169080Isn’t that the statue from the game awards
i remember trying to fight lilith in t4 a week or so ago and she one shot me and i tried it again yesterday and one shot her lel
>>2169080why is your shit so pink
>>2169085I've never seen a Game Awards, so I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised>>2169094Colorblind mode to make reds more magenta-y, it's really strong in this game but it's also prettyI am speaking to a dog. Also that Inarius thing was fuckin' gnarly to watch, god damn.
>>2169115update:>Campaign finished>Epilogue finished>Got to claim all of my GOBLIN loot now that it's available>about to open all of this shit>Changed difficulty to Penitent Gonna masterwork something just to get the mission finished
>i am also speaking to a dog kek
>>2169134>I am speaking to a dogI wonder how Mephisto would feel about being described this way.
>>2169115>Also that Inarius thing was fuckin' gnarly to watchYeah after playing through the game I thought there were a couple of pretty grisly cutscenes. The one with the dogs eating some dude while he was screaming in pain was too macabre for my taste, but the game overall was very dark.It's interesting that they've stuck so hard with body horror instead of leaning into more of the psychological horror, I was expecting a bit of it with the contrasting developments of Donan and Neyrelle but it fell flat.
>>2169133do you own the expansion fren?
>>2169143Yeah, though with my colorblind mode it looked like he was full of cranberry lmao>>2169183I do! A friend gave it to me after seeing how much fun I was having.So currently>Did some Whispers>Masterworked my Helmet (it got 4% i don't know if that's a roll or if i can add more)>beat Azmodan on Penitent>at almost 20k toughness>made it to the heaven forge>sanctified my Fields of Crimson (87str -> 330str)Not entirely sure what to do with the tongues I got, but I have them now. Said I also unlocked some kind of Hellfire thing but stuff tends to fly by so fast I rarely get a chance to verify what it's even telling me
>>2169201>i doyou should play through the vessel of hatred campaign to get updated to the current story, and unlock some important tools/end game features!
>>2167645>So many games with variable skill trees and lots of options could learn from that.Yeah, that's one thing they really did right. It doesn't punish you for trying to test out new builds and the system gives you a lot of leeway in that regard. Also, look up the armory - it's usually located next to a blacksmith or your chest. It lets you save a preset of your current setup (items, skills, paragon boards and glyphs). Mega useful if you like to switch builds.>>2169201>Not entirely sure what to do with the tongues The corrupted ones serve as "keys" to open chests in the Azmodan summoning area. I forgot the name of the place. The purified essence on the other hand is needed for that Uber Lesser Evils Event that is triggered by feeding 4 altars their respective essence.
>>2169204Oh, sure that doesn't seem so bad!>>2169205>keys to open chests in the Azmodan summoning areaIf you mean the World Boss spot, then that makes sense. I actually went after the quest here to kill the Lesser Evils around the map and I helped these dudes kill Azmodan like 4 times but I didn't get anything except Divine Favor and even then sometimes I got like 25 randomly and other times none at all except from killing the big guy. The chests/altars around all seem to reference the others. Oh and it didn't check off killing him any of the times for some reason.>Purified Essence is needed for Uber Lesser Evils EventWait, is that what I was doing? I'm not even sure if I have any purified ones
>>2169209>it didn't check off killing him any of the times for some reasonyea that happened to me too. basically you'll spend a lot of time killing all 4 lesser evils. you can unlock belial, andy, and duriel's chests at the summoned azmodan if you have 5 of their specific corrupted mats. you'll also get azmodan mats that you can use to open his chest when he spawns as an actual world boss.
>>2169209you probably don't have purified ones yet, but you'll know when you do. they're extremely rare drops.
>>2169211>>2169210nta but i also just finished the campaign how can i get to torment 1?
>>2169212pretty sure there's a capstone dungeon you have to complete. it's part of the seasonal journey :)
>>2169210>yea that happened to me too.That sucks. I was hoping to try and check them off. I gotta get the thing to tier 5 for a quest, is it just spam-killing the Lessers or is there other ways to get Divine Favor?>>2169211Fair enough, gonna do a mix of quests, whispers, and look out for goblins while I doI also get the vibe I'm gonna have to kill this dude>Prava just has some bandages on her arms despite being completely overrun by demonsCRINGE!
>>2169248According to the game I have now killed all of the world bosses
>>2169278More update, I have discovered this page
>unlocking additional tiers on the season is done by doing dungeons and not by completing every objective in the seasonal rewardsI've been wondering why it'd take SO long to get just to Torment 1 because I'd "have to" kill Andariel to get to t2, and then do everything to get to t3.>do 2 dungeons because i notice the map option>now i can go to the ObeliskI WAS A FOOL
I'm liking the end-game. After getting deeper into the paragon board and getting a couple good mythics and uniques the power jumps are pretty drastic. already at 280k toughness in combat and critting almost every hit for tens of millions.
I just helped a friend get to Torment difficulty by killing Belial and I got a purified thingy. Is this good news?
>>2170583Seasonal stuff
>Plan to run Hydra/Firewall Sorc>Spam Amulets on curiosities once I hit Torment 1.>Esadora's drops.>Fuck it I'll go Crackling Energy/Lightning Ball.>By the time I finally get an Ophidian Iris I have pretty much every lightning related Unique at Ancestral level.Wondering if I should bother swapping at this point. I'm in Torment 3 and bosses die as soon as they spawn.
>>2170583Seasonal board has two slots for each of the minor demon lords and two slottable buffs for each of the demon lords. Turning that in to Hadriel unlocks the buffs. One buff slot gives you an extra bonus, the other imposes an extra penalty during the related activity (Helltide, World Bosses, Undercity, Pit)
>>2170628mostly true, but that's for corrupted parts. purified parts are for the secret boss run
>>2170624>>2170628Okay, I put together my Divine Gift page, unlocked Torment 1, unlocked Torment 2, learned I'm not strong enough (durability specifically since I damage bigly) for Echo of Lilith. Doing Helltides a bunch, for some reason Azmodan, Duriel, and Belial REFUSE to check off on the seasonal quest. Is it broken?I also made this to show what i'm currently using that's worth mentioning. Masterwork luckily grabbed my Max Life and Damage against Bleeders on my stuff so that's awesome. Sad it didnt' grab total resist on the pants, but that's alright
>>2170802you're nerfing yourself not unlocking runes
>>2170804Runes? There's MORE!?
>>2170809yes! you're missing runes and mercenaries that unlock through vessel of hatred
>>2170810Off I go back to the plot then!
how fast is leveling in d4?
After getting to understand the game better I really have mixed feelings on the progression. Early game is kinda meh; you’re gimped skill-tree-wise and either play a little sub-optimal or constantly fiddle with gear, and then later the paragon system just feels too huge for something that comes free to your other characters.Playing a t4 endgame character isn’t fun for long since drops are not exciting 99.7% of the time. I think it also comes down to how catered class drops/uniques/mythic items trend towards very specific builds.. I hope they add a little in the way towards more layers of complexity to the skill tree and itemization in the future
>>2170810>mercenariesuseless and gay fillter
>>2170852we should have gotten random mercs we could level and gear up. instead we get a guy who can do almost nothing because every mob disappears before they can lay traps or whatever
>>2170846>in the futuregame is already aging and has a terribly small playerbase, they're going to drop it for D5 asap. Consider how bored everyone is getting of the strong woman of color shit and we had to deal with Prava being retarded and ruining half of the plot and Neyrelle being awful. Remember the "LET ME GOOOOOOOOO" shit?
>>2170857I am wondering about the population or maybe just how the servers work. Somehow I log in a day or two later and I see the exact same people sitting at bosses or talking in trade chat. I doubt they would attempt d5 for a while. Nobody would be excited for it. Probably another dlc and life support skins
>>2170820What’s your rush
I AM A /vg/ THREADI AM A /vg/ THREAD
I am emptyI am alone
>>2170889quite the opposite i want it slow
>>2170894>/vg/>the board so full of contrarians and self-hating retards that no one even discusses games in their generalsYeah no thanks. Go watch /poeg/ for about a day and you'll see what I mean.
broke the milli
can't find this fucking info anywherereturning player from season 7 or 8 iircdo the tormented echo bosses (varshan/lilith) all have the compounding debuff still which fucks you up? really important to know for hardcore
>>2171157please help
>>2171157>>2171189I wish I could tell you man, but 99.9% of the time I either one-shot them so it's never an issue. On those rare instances I did fight them a bit longer I didn't notice any debuffs you mentioned, so my guess is they've done away with it. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.
>>2171195well thank you anyway, I am too spooped about losing my precious paladin already
>>2171195>>2171200well if anyone else is wondering, it SEEMS they removed it at least from everything other than Lilith because they just buffed the bosses' damage or revamped mechanics in s8-9
planning on running the purified boss run sometime in the next two hours. let me know if you want in, otherwise i'll reach out to any clan members online or randos
>>2171585I'm up for it. I believe we ran the mythic ND/tributes last time around. I'll be home in 40 minutes or so.
>>2171608cool!
>>2170810I unlocked runes and so far I've found two pairs I like>travel 5m for 50 offering>50 offering to make an Earthquakemakes for a fun pair, and then>passively gain offering every .3 seconds>Vortex enemies into me and damage them allI did a bit more plot, did some Undercity since it's unlocked now, and I killed the Thing in the Ice twice hoping for a better pair of my pants but got only doodoo ones.
>>2171631batman decided to reward me with a purple item!
>>2171670You should put another socket on that and put it on. >Move speedBest stat.>Total Resist>All Res>Pure Damage ReductionYours is nice but it doesn't compare.
>>2171611Ok, I'm in. Did I add you to the friends list by any chance? You were running a fem Pally, right?
I got a mythic at the end of my session last night and I logging in today I see I managed to masterwork and sanctify it with 1/2 sockets. Fuck I'm retarded.
>>2171680yes! i see you. you good to go in about a half hour?
>>2171693Fantastic! No problem, I'll put some tea on and be ready in 30.
>>2171670As Anon said, socket, masterwork it and sanctify the piece and you'll have a nice starter to hunt for more mythics!>batmankek, though he's more of a Man-bat (comic book autist here, couldn't help myself)
>>2171702>Man-BatAh you fuckin' got me! very good>Socket, Masterwork, and SanctifyI'm terrified of Sanctify honestly, mostly because it can't be undone and it might change something terribly. I had it turn the % total resist on my Pants into Crit Chance the other day so I had to spam Obuls til I got a new pair lmaoGoing to a Nightmare dungeon now to farm obducite
>>2171706you t4 yet bro
>>2171712Nope, still T2, starting to find myself dying here and there so I haven't gone back to Belial to get it higher yet. Might do it after this dungeon because of my new chestpiece.
>>2171706I've done about 100 sanctifies this season and it seems like 60% of the time I'm mostly indifferent about the affix added/changes and the other 40% is 50/50 bad/good
>>2171706Don't worry about Sanctification on mythics (and uniques as well I think). Unless you forget about sockets/masterworking there's no bricking whatsoever. The affix replacement is on regular to non-ancestral legendary items.And a sidenote: best way to farm obucite are horadric strongroom ones. Just FYI.
Which of these is better overall? I can swap the rune on my body (War Cry) for the one that grants Barrier, but the tradeoff seems pretty mild.>>2171585How much Toughness is recommended for that fight anyway? I have also been trying to farm up the other 2 components for that fight, but keep having to spend the corrupted variants at Azmodan while farming. Is the fight repeatable as well?
>>2171742i have no idea. if you want to join, i'm running it very soon. i think i may have whispered you in game
>>2171742from what i saw earlier in the season via youtube, only one person can open the portal with their mats. they can't be pooled together.only the summoner can enter portal that opens however party members can tp to the summoner once they've entered the instance
well lads, we learned some lessons about purified boss runs:-party members can enter the fight by teleporting to the summoner once inside-the bosses are much tougher than their lair forms, but we didn't have an issue killing them-only the summoner gets the rewards which sucks
>>2171812They honestly didn't stand a chance against four decked out pallys. Still, it was nice to have fought them. Thanks!All that's left is to farm up the last piece of the puzzle and hunt some uber bosses.
>>2171825what are you still missing?
>>2171812idk i just read a reddit post where other party members were able to get the loot but it was from 20 days ago. so it either glitched out bc i was successfully able to open the chest, or they patched that
>>2171825Duriel's horn. I have no idea whether it's faster to farm it in helltides or in his lair.
>>2171834okay that was the last one i needed. i seriously farmed him for a few days and i'll share my experience. i'd usually do a few helltide runs per day donating one baneful heart. then i'd run all my grig and varshaan mats to get duriel mats. then i'd run like 25 duriels WITHOUT picking up the horns he drops, to not max out at 20. then when i'd run out of mats, i'd pick everything up and go waste an hour depleting my horns at azmodan, and by the time that was over, i'd have a bunch of grigoire and varshaan mats to start the process over.then i read by someone on reddit that they got it pretty quickly by summoning duriel in helltide single-handedly with 3 hearts. apparently your odds are better the more you contribute? anyway within an hour of doing that, it finally dropped. so i'd recommend that route desu sorry this is so long
>>2171746>>2171812thank you again for hosting it at any rate! I apologize for having to bail so quickly afterward, I lost track of the time.
>>2171840Oh man, I forgot about that cap of 20. What a rookie mistake. Thank you for reminding me and for the comprehensive advice. Much appreciated! Also, at this point I wonder if walking around with other bosses' trophies capped at 20 will hinder the drop rate of the one you're currently looking for.
Does anyone else think 4’s UI isn’t good? Oh just me? Figures, my pineal gland is open so I can see this sort of stuff clearer.
>>2171715>>2171717Well, I just decided to Sanctify my fully upgraded Uniques and pray>Pants got Bonus Legendary thing (Damage Reduction for each nearby bleeding enemy)>Helmet got 22% more quality>Sword got Str upgraded to Greater Affixall very good, and no fucked up replacements. Just got a purified Duriel Horn from him in Helltide, so that's pretty cool
rip my character; guess I pushed t4 Lair bosses solo too early. Any fun Sorceror builds?
>tfw you sanctify a mythic and you get quality increaseGonna apply kys to myself.
>>2172009i think there's 1
>>2172186I'd have rathered the quality increase lmao
>go unlock tier 6 of the season>get some caches>pop 'em open>see thisI thought Ancestrals could only do like 1-3 stars, is this special?
I did it! I finally found a Mythic Prankster sigil. They can be crafted at the Occultist as well if anyone was curious on the matter. I'm surprised I never got one from the Azmodan grindan. I'll save it to use with the clan members and/or people in the thread at some point.>>2172384nah, you can get 4 max rolls. it's definitely uber rare as I have gone through probably a 1000 ancestral uniques and I only have 1, but a plethora of 3s (and none of which I actively use for my build lol)
>>2172410based. i ran one with the boys earlier and marked the non-mythics as junk and then went and hit salvage all instead of salvage junk :)at least i got some sparks i guess
You---Wanderer! I know what you are!
>>2172498REEEEEEEEEEEEEE SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
>>2172410Oh neat! I've spent the last few hours masterworking all of my stuff, I made it to T3 and I feel like I'm gettin' pretty close to being strong. broke 100k Toughness as well, and just got past 150k.Mostly doing Helltides on and off now, with the occasional nightmare dungeon.
>>2172554Holy fuck can you stop posting every single update about your hodgepodge build?
Would an auradin be a good build for HC?
I tried palabros, I really did. I had to go back to femnecro.
>>2172618My pally only died because I was careless while pushing. You just walk around and things explode. It's pretty much what most optimal builds in this game seem to be; you're a speeding ball of aoe damage bouncing around rooms
>>2172612>being mean to swordbroew
>>2172554I'm rolling with 425k toughness
>>2172612CRINGE
just switched to audadin kek the rumors were true
>>2172612At least he's posting on topic. And if you're getting this assblasted over some posts filter the tripcode and be done with it. It ain't that difficult. Quit being a faggot about a nothingburger.
>>2172622Wait a minute, why does the Necro gender matterHold on a second
It's weird how ded the clan is this season since it's the best one maybe ever.
>>2174008the chase is just bland, sanctifying any trash you come across hoping for grandfather because each one you get doubles your damage.
>>2174017nah
>>2174036If you don't chase grandfather then it's even more boring because i finished that grind 82 paragons ago.
retard
oh it's just the angry guy
>>2172859Damn, I'm jealous!>>2172612pic related>>2174017>sanctifying any trash you come across hoping for grandfatherwhat does this mean? does Sanctify add something called Grandfather sometimes to items?Update:>Made it to t4>tried changing my Paragon boards (ended up less efficient because I was rushing)>broke 200k toughness somehow after the swap>Got a ton of Grand gem drops from HelltidesI feel like my damage is little baby damage on T4 right now lmao
>>2172612They called this Anon out, but he/she will be proved right in the end.In the end, tripfags are all the same.
>>2174198If you sanctify a legendary power it will randomly be a mythic power. so any item could have 100% crit damage or +4 skill ranks/20% damage reduction, aka the powers of The Grandfather and Harlequin's Crest. Very small chance, and you'd have to wheel and deal with player trading if you want GAs with good rolls to sanctify and runes to craft multiple copies of the GA mythics you want. I've gone several days without so much as a sidegrade, filling up my stash between sanctify sessions.
>>2174234Wow, that sounds tough to get your hands on lmaoI've been struggling just to find another mythic, let alone turn legendaries into them. I wanted to ask, is the Mythic Sword basically BiS or is it more situational than that? I'm kinda thinking of switching from hyperfocusing on Bleed to doing more Crit focused, is that reasonable or am I just going to dig for the same sword either way?
>>2174255It's decent by itself but some barb builds perform better with more aspects on weapons, especially double effect of a 2h
>>2174278Right now I have (probably too many) uniques in a lot of slots. Aspects on me are>Accelerating (Attack speed on Crit) (Gloves)>Grasping Whirlwind (Whirlwind pulls every 3.5s) (Boots)>Anger Management (Always berserk above 50 fury, 42% damage buff) (2-handed Bludgeoning)>Ancestral Echoes (58% chance to spawn echoes) (1-handed slot)>Steadfast Berserker (gain .38% max hp as fortify when i do direct damage) (Amulet)>Dire Whirlwind (8% more crit chance/damage per second channeled up to 38%) (Ring)I probably could swap one of my other items out to make room for more.
>>2174325Tell me a bit more. What Runewords are you using? What unique items specifically?
>>2174335BecLam and PocTun>Move 5 Meters = Gain 35 Fury>Spend 25% of Max Fury = Rogue Stun GrenadesHere they are, I sanctified everything after talking about it earlier. Fields of Crimson is probably propping me up with that 900%+ bonus damage.
>>2174345First and foremost, you want legendary pants and unique gloves. Ghor's something or other, it makes Whirlwind stronger.
>>2174345>>2174325Have you not been upgrading your aspects? Check your Occultist, you can put the same ones onto your gear and make them higher if you've broken down a piece of gear with a higher level on it.
>>2174345might be time for a guide brother
>>2174355Honestly, probably getting close to that point. I'm gonna try to get nicer versions of what I'm using for now. I also have enough sparks to make a single Mythic Cache, are those worth the effort or is it a waste of 50m gold?>>2174349Holy shit I haven't been, pretty much all of the ones I have on I can improve, so I'm gonna do that now>>2174347Oh I remember discussing those gloves once, I've seen pairs once in a while but they're all non-ancestral so I tossed them for having mid stats. Once I can kill Echo of Varshan, I'll be target-farming them, or maybe lowering my difficulty to T2-T3 and just doing it there.
>>2174359A mythic item literally can't be bad, at worst you get half the spark back by salvage.
>>2174362YOOO, i'm not 100% sure it's better, but it's COOL
>>2174366heir is one of the best mythics on the game gg
>>2174369oh SHIT, BASED! Gonna masterwork it and Sanctify it shortly
>>2174372>>2174369>Masterwork rolls more Crit Chance>Sanctify ALSO upgrades crit chanceholy fuck
>>2174386nice, most of my sancs have been dogshit so far
It felt weak for a while into t4 getting set up, but a high-mobility crackling energy/gravitational-ball-lightning focused build feels pretty good. Maybe not Auradin level but still. My first character so far to hit 1 million toughness in combat

>>2174497How does a game with thousands of players have literally 0 4chan presence?
>>2174526Normies don't use 4chan. Blizzard only markets to Normies.
>>2174526It’s not chunni enough. For 4chan to latch onto a game, it has to have humour, cute women, cool fights and a good ost. If that sounds like the outline of a cool shounen anime, you’re right; it’s a weeb site and the anime runs deep.D4 has a few of those things, but it’s still a very morbid, introspective game. All it would take to make d4 a “4chan game” would be to copy the aesthetics and narrative beats of Berserk and Claymore. There’s an actual psychology behind it, and it is interesting. 4chan subconsciously posits that modern games are made from the perspective of pleasing the narrative whims of progressive women. What the men on /v/ want is a male ideal to overcome evil. That’s why the Paladin trailer took off, and that’s why season 11 is going really strong, as this also applies to the broader gaming community. It was never really about the gameplay or endgame minutiae people complained about; it’s about how the themes speak to you subconsciously.

I wonder how they're going to tackle traversing Skovos, scale-wise I mean. Proportionally Isles are pretty small, plus it's relatively fast to get from A to B on the continent so it poses a question how big the islands will be and how much area unlocking will be involved.
>>2175595I might sound retarded for suggesting this, but if anyone here has played Digimon World 3, they do a really interesting overworld isometric travel with specific mounts. So underwater you use a submarine Digimon, and underground you use a dig mole Digimon.
Reddit bros what do we think of this https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1q1ea3d/diablo_4_s11_has_retained_60_of_its_players_on/
>>2175595I wonder what the second class will be. Since it's Skovos I would assume Amazons but that would add a third Dexterity based class to the game. Are Paladins Strength or Willpower?
>>2175959paladins are strength. hard to do amazon when they're a female only tribe. people think it'll be some sort of oracle or warlock with willpower
Hard to pick between 1.5 million toughness and doing tens of millions of damage versus 600k toughness and doing hundreds of millions of damage
>>2176079bud they can't hit you if they're dead
>>2176082Problem is playing hardcore almost all of my deaths are getting killed by a stack of puddles/explosions in a tight hallway
>>2176086>hardcoreoh yeah that's true.
>>2175970I've been reading somewhere a few days ago, that according to some leaks (not datamined info) it's gonna be a willpower based class. Which makes sense. >people think it'll be some sort of oracle or warlock with willpowerI don't know why people assumed previously it'd be an amazon with gender system we have in the game. I'm leaning towards Oracle/Warlock too.
>niggas are afraid of dying
>>2176151if that is NOT hardcore then it's embarassing
>>2176151God damn, man. I'm only at like 250k, but then again my equipment is probably all dookie lmao
Just got stuck with another one of these, do I just salvage it since it's account-bound?
>>2176218yes u get sparks used to either gamble more uniques or craft uniques with runes

>>2176245>>2176246>not telling him to slot machine for a potential grandfather
>>2176245popped open the box and got this (compared to my current weapon). Aside from the obvious severe crit damage reduction, it seems really cool, i love that execution thing. Gonna put it in my box for now.
>>2176218>nigga unironically using a ring with no stars

New patch notes are out broshttps://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24244466/diablo-iv-patch-notes
>>2176350It's funny that you mention it, as I just got a ring roll that I actually liked. I hit the bonus star-affix on crafting crit damage on it and then hit it with the Masterwork. I technically lost like 3% toughness because it doesn't have Poison Resistance, but it seems worth to me.
Update: >got a new pair of the same pants that were slightly better>MW hit the already ga Total Resist>Sanctify gave me more stats so now all of my rare nodes with weird requirements are turned on>got Gohr Gloves and I love them>rerolled boots and got ga whirlwind sizeWas able to clear Pit Tier 60 just now and I am feeling great about it. Not sure what I should be doing now, so I'm gonna clean up some side quests.
>>2177512solid upgrades and yeah those gloves are huge for aoe
>>2177512make sure you get all of your glyphs to level 45
>>2177518They're fuckin' awesome, I love the way it feels. I'm suddenly killing stuff much more handily than I was before. A rogue upgrade gave me a ga for Whirlwind double damage so now I'm at 100% for that too>>2177601I've got...Wrath to level 53, Brawl (i don't use brawl skills but rare node buffs are based) to 46, Executioner to 46, Weapon Master to 47, and Might to 47. I'm not sure how good of a spread that is, and I also may or may not have redone my Paragon page when I tried to focus more on crits so now they're all in a line rather than a square or anything. Likely heavily inefficient, but it's workingI spammed level 45 pit to quickly get them all up to there
Which of these do you guys think is better? Is Vulnerable super important to apply easily/repeatedly with the first one?
>>2177835Okay, looking at your item the second one is significantly worse if you have no other means of inflicting Vulnerable. In World Boss encounters, everyone will be doing it so it's wasted there, but in your own playthrough you need to be able to do that.
>>2177853>>2177835nta but here's the math for you.>you hit for 20>you crit for 10x damage>200 damage>increased by 20% (Vulnerable)>240 damagevs>you hit for 20>crit for 11x>220 damage
>>2176894ty and the build is my self-brewed blessed shield/heaven's fury whatever mess
are 4 inventories worth of sigils every time you open a chest MAYBE too fucking much?
>>2177870>>2177853Thanks for the help. I also just rolled a 3-star Amulet from a chest in Helltide and rolled a 4th star for Whirlwind Size. I'm debating between Steadfast Berserker for Fortify or Iron Blood Aspect for raw damage reduction when near bleeding enemies. Fortify says it's an extra reserve of life to heal me over time, does that mean it also takes damage or is it just an amount of health I'm regenning?
>>2177949Fortify is only good if you use a build for it.
>>2177967retarded opinion, 5% damage reduction against bosses is dogshit comparatively.
>>2178029it's an amulet so it would be be 9% damage reduction. fortify also doesn't give damage reduction by default anymore, just healing. that said, it seems weird to put a defensive aspect on an amulet in the first place.
>>2178053Wait they removed the DR? What's the fucking point then?
>>2177967>>2178029>>2178068Huh, guess no on the Fortify then.>>2178053Do you have any particular recommendations? Since I'm just using Whirlwind and not anything else, really, lots of the ones I have aren't very useful.Do you think Accelerating would be good moved to that instead of my ring? I crit, as far as I'm aware, always, so I'd be getting like 45% attack speed on hit.
>>2178076Either Accelerating Aspect or Berserk Ripping on your two-handed weapon and the other on your Amulet.
>>2178068fuck druids I guess. fortify is just a way to activate item and skill effects now. >>2178076consider going for earthquakes. earthquakes can be cast by runes, and there's an aspect that gives damage reduction for standing in earthquakes and an aspect that gives bonus damage for standing in earthquakes.
>>2178090Okay, so I redid all of my aspects.>Boots of GraspingPulls things in every 3 seconds>Big Club of Anger Management50+ Fury gives me Berserking and 60% damage>One handed Swords of Burning Rage and Dust Devils764 burning explosion every second while Berserking, and 1,296 damage Devils>Accelerating Amulet43.5% Attack Speed when I crit>Ring of Dire Whirlwind8% crit chance/damage per second when Spinnin'>Spear of Berserk Ripping64% of direct damage dealt as Bleeding>>2178100I'm tempted, but I really like my weird over-commitment to comfy spinning

>>2178734nah that's probably it. apparently it lines up with with the war plans map too

>>2179632>/poeg/>comfy with less game discussionLmao yeah? You guys still spamming troon and tub ai every thread?
>>2179639He doesn't take advice well and hyperfocuses on a skill he likes regardless of if it's good. He was playing Cyclone in poe regardless of how easily he could have upgraded.
>>2179771fuck i can't argue with that kek
>>2179771>CycloneHe's doing Whirlwind here.
>>2178262I tried the Earthquake Rune, I'm not really big on it currentlyReally small, not even sure it's doing damage to anything>>2178541>then he's retardedI am!>>2179632What can I say, D4 is a lot of fun>>2179771pretty accurate, I wanna make the thing I like work with the least amount of things intruding on itAlso, I found this thing, is this better than the sword on the left that I was using up until now? I lose about 300% Crit Damage, but I also gain about 200k Toughness.Other sword has my 35% chance for Whirlwind doing double damage that puts me at 100%.
>>2180224Doombringer obviously. Double your survival is better than a small amount of damage. Sanctify the old and salvage if it's bad.
>>2180224Swordbro please tell me you're sanctifying your gear. That sword isn't and that has me worried.
>>2180312I wasn't, purely because the first time I sanctified an item, it was a Tassets of the Dawning Sky and maybe it was just poor luck but the Total Resist was replaced with Crit Chance. After that I figured that chancing potentially turning a piece of gear to shit wasn't worth it.But after sanctifying the old sword (got 10% damage, but wasn't enough to save it)Decided to take a chance and most of my gear for 15-40% quality rolls, my hammer got 30% cdr, and my boots lost movement speed (I was well over 200 so this is a plus) for 300 more strengthAll around very good
I must say, Auardin build for hardcore has been very comfy so far.
>>2180337>guys i'm playing the literally so broken it's impossible to lose build! COMFY!!!
>>2180338>put on LoTR appendices on the second monitor>snowing outside>have some good tea with rum>playing D4 on my AuradinDamn straight. You bet it is!
>>2180338Yeah? Come on now if you're out to make your life miserable you might as well play necro.

>>2181933>post literally mentions item filters and awakened trade>DO YOU MEAN GOOGLING GUIDES?Are you retarded?
>>2182053im not the one that said d4 is a good game
>>2181933It's obvious you're bias against the game, which is fine, but why bother with all that here? It'd be effort better spent to post in PoE general and get everyone's approval.D4 ain't the best game there is, hell it's not even the best title in its genre. Not to mention devs who take too much time to release new content at a reasonable pace (which may change soon enough). But slowly its getting someplace reasonable.If you wanna play either game, you do you man.

Replaying D3 right now after some years and I was wondering if it's normal to start with all the merchants and followers in my main town.I was sure you unlocked them through the campaign.In another thread I was told that it's normal to already have them unlocked if you did so before with another character.
>>2183682are you playing adventure mode
>>2183688Campaign.
>>2182950It's just a beta and a test for the leaderboard, they're probably not gonna add any rewards to it for now
>>2182950>beta test>no rewards>poor man's Greater Pit from D3>snake oil leaderboardsThere's not much going on for it right now to be interesting. Maybe once it's fleshed out it'll take the edge off pit pushers and take their dick measuring contest to a suitable venue.I will applaud them for adding this though but I can't imagine how busted it had to have been that it needed an extra month and it's still very very barebones (again, I know it's in beta, just sayin')
>>2183682The venders are account unlock. It used to be that it was character unlock, accountwide for upgrade progress. Before that iirc it was character specific for all.

>>2184793Season 10 was easiest season ever.
>>2185547What's your gear farming method?
>>2186115>inb4 Helltides, Azmodan, Pit, or Undercity
>>2186115don't give him advice he won't take it kek. hope the best for him though
>>2186115Right now it's sorta a mix of sometimes doing Helltides for when I just wanna spin through things, some Undercity for Obols, and either waiting to run World Bosses or occasionally doing lair bosses.
>>2186153I'll be ready when I feel more comfortable killing a lot of the bosses. Grigoire/Urivar are really easy, Zir can still kill me sometimes, Varshan is easy but takes a long time but I really wish I had more Malignant Hearts so I could just target-farm it. Andariel is surprisingly easy, Duriel is sorta meh, and Belial is a big gay
>>2186180>a thousand exquisite blood
>>2186189And probably more since they drop all the timewanted to ask Thread's opinion. I found a "Mythical Prankster" in a nightmare dungeon when running some and ran it, found a Grandfather and I recall that being considered pretty good. Socketed, Masterworked, and then Sanctified, do you guys think this is better than my current spear?I don't mind swapping my Polearm Glyph to a Sword one probably. I just worry about losing that guaranteed Vulnerable and all the crit damage.
>>2186492Vulnerable is better, salvage the sword. Bad GA.
Just got my first mythic, any build use this?
>>2187218what setting makes it display what you lose? that's cool as fuck
>>2187229kek
>>2187229>what are tooltipsOn the off chance this isn't a troll, check out the key combinations at the bottom of the screenshot >>2187218
>>2187261when I look at an item, even if I turn off the comparison, it doesn't show me a bunch of what stats would be changed at the bottom, I just compare them and do the mental mathAlso my new Doombringer ended up better than my old one, so that's pretty sick. Almost at 20k Life
>>2187283Go into the menu and in the Gamplay tab check the boxes for Advanced Tooltip Compare/Information. Then you'll get fancy in-depth info.It was so long that I had done that I forgot about it in the first place. So my bad.
>>2187296Hey no worries, thank you so much! That seems so cool
>>2187299You're welcome bro. Knock yourself out!
>>2187336I got another Grandfather (melted down the uniques I wasn't gonna/couldn't use and bought mythic caches), masterworked it, socketed it, and then sanctified itbut like i feel like this guaranteed vulnerable 100% of the time has me by the balls, alongside the sheer crit damage percent
>>2187351it's not a guaranteed vulnerable. every skill has a modifier on lucky hit chance. whirlwind is 20%. if that's the only source of chance to make enemies vulnerable, then the chance per hit is actually 20% * 145.9% ~= 29.2% per hit. that's why so many builds use the exploit glyph, because that's actually a guaranteed vulnerable.
>>2187351Don't let the tooltip trick you. Post your offensive stats with your current weapon, and then equip the Grandfather and post those. You'll be surprised.
>>2187363>>2187364what the fuck i didn't even swap my glyphs or my gems over, i was SO worried this was gonna be 100x worse???>it isn't guaranteed vulnerable>math>29.2% per hitwhatWHAToh my GOD, i'm RETARDEDwell, now I gotta swap my Polearm Glyph for something else, gonna find out about this Exploit glyph too just in case
Best gear I've ever made I think.
It doesn't necessarily keep me awake at night, but I am curious how this will work as opposed to just doing these activities right now. Bonuses? Increased rarity of items (guaranteed GA's etc.)?
>>2189179idk but i'm already bored and waiting for the next season already
>>2189304Well, I only have ubers left to do and I can call it a day. A surprisingly enjoyable season, no doubt thanks to Pally's release, but there was stuff to do. It's weird to think that we're just one season away from the expansion. Also, the new class. It's meant to be willpower based so a horardrim or an oracle? Both can be either male or female I guess.
>>2189304Same, but it took much longer this season and looking back at previous ones this is an amazing achievement on devs part.
>>2189459>>2190203yeah, don't get me wrong, it was enjoyable. and i'm sure there are still people who need to finish the season journey or whatever. i even did the tower and was ranked 11 for the 3-man when that finally posted on launch day --but then slid down to 400 something. ehh. i have almost 200 mythic undercity tributes, but idk if i can be bothered doing those either. just feel kinda done...
>>2189459I finally wiped out the Uber Bosses after Duriel's Purified Horn dropped (from a helltide summon). Thanks to the advice from Anon here >>2171840 I sped up the process. I was kinda worried it'll take a few days but it all closed under an hour or two.Seems like the only thing that's probably left for me to to do is getting to P300. Maybe. We'll see. Overall a solid season>>2190361>i even did the towerI haven't done the Tower yet, but I'm not hard pressed on going through the beta rn. I get it's for the blasters and streamers, but maybe us normal folks will get some enjoyment out of it later down the line. Kudos on reaching that rank though. >i have almost 200 mythic undercity tributes, but idk if i can be bothered doing those either. just feel kinda done...I feel ya. Once you have your gear it's not really a thing to do unless you feel like helping some random dude from the chat or a clan.
>>2191073Forgot the pic. A title to boot would've been nice, but this will do.
