that's nine!  you can camp in 820 for t1/t14 twinned, 8 mods, shore/cem/thicket unid and free masters - shouldn't take long. snagging a free t14 took a while for me. t1 twinned/shore/cem/thicket: buy/roll them and offer it free, pubbies will help you clear it quickly 1k rampage requires some work with a Gorge and a pile of alts (for Sea Witches. the prophecy is unreliable). I had my attempts fail at 800-900 a bunch of times; I was using Wyrmsigns for the rampage rather than map device mods, thankfully. it's a 1alch unique. when it did work I got ~1200 monsters in the Gorge 820 sometimes has free unique boxes; otherwise I guess prophecy chains are your best bet. spend some chaos, buy coins, keep sealing tedious prophecies.

Haven't played in 2 years. I have a 79 Marauder Ground Slammer. Is that total crap now, or should it still be viable (I'm still d/l'ing)? I have a 49 witch also with absolutely no gear, and I imagine a full respec. I bet the marauder does as well. Whats a nice witch build now? I could never get great items or currency. Ever. I had two level 70+ and found prob 2 exalted. Has that changed any? What are these Prophecy challenges? Halp, I forgot everything and also there's a lot of new stuffs.

Everything has changed. You can play with your characters on standard, they have full respecs, or you can join one of the temp leagues with a new guy. The league is nearing an end so you probably wont progress too far, but a new league is less than three weeks away, so now isnt a bad time to brush up on the game. funmanguy fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Aug 14, 2016 |

My gear sux mega, I wont be able to amass any points. Should i just start 100% fresh and sell all my gear and delete all my characters? Cause I kond of want to do that. Maybe keep the 79 just so ill have access to all vendors for now. Whats the sort of base lvl dps you need to shoot for? I cant remember what mone is but I bet its not great. I could clear lvl 73ish maps without many problems but that was about it.

There's no universal "you need this much dps to be awesome" number unless you're comparing with the same active skill. Tooltip numbers never tell the whole story. I would hold on you your high level character. One of the big changes is that you can now buy gems from vendors (price 1 wisdom/alt/chance/alch) and they come pre-leveled. If you have a Scion, Duelist and Witch then you'll have access to all gems that can be purchased from vendors. That gives you some flexibility in trying out different builds. As for gear, join the guild and look at the stash. Not sure what the one on Standard looks like (if it's anything like my Standard stash, it has roughly 12 million remove-only tabs that will never go away).

Races are about game knowledge and speed levelling. Leagues are about new mechanics and challenges and expansions. You have 24 character slots to start with you probably dont need to delete any characters. Just be chill and play the game, goons will help you no matter what.

You dont need any gear to start out at all. It would be a good warm-up for the next league, and to get you in the mood for league-play as opposed to permanent play. Also, there's no need to delete any characters, at least not until you reach the character limit (which is quite high).

Leagues are also way less daunting than they originally seem. Some of them (warband, talisman) had mechanics you had to actively play around but they've always been at least partially suggestions more than "you must interact with this new league only mechanic". With that said, definitely interact with the new league mechanics - the one right before the one we're in now involved a vendor that had caches and coins all over the place that you could trade, potentially, for uniques. It was unbalanced as hell compared to normal but it was a great way to try out builds you might not have previously gotten the currency up for. The Prophecy League has some similar effect on the game, but is much less severe in scale tipping. It also wouldn't hurt to get at least vaguely familiar with it through experimentation or wiki use since a modified form is going to be in from this point forward.

Has GGG said anything about a premium map tab? I already have problems organizing all of my maps and can't imagine what a mess my stash is going to be with 50% more of them to keep track of. And I might have to drop some cash on a supporter pack for the sweet armor.

I already have problems organizing all of my maps and can't imagine what a mess my stash is going to be with 50% more of them to keep track of. The big problem is that maps are unique by item ID or however they store these things so they don't stack very well. They could maybe do some kind of sorted by name within tier thing or something but IDK I feel like it would end up being a mess.

Yeah, stacking wouldn't even work for normal maps where you could have items at different quality levels. Once you start getting magic/rare/uniques? Forget about it.

funmanguy posted:Welcome. You may want to give the temp league a try. Also join the guild, it may be mostly dead this late in a league, but its less dead than standard, which is nearly perma-goon dead. I've been dicking around with the prophecy challenge mode and not really knowing what i'm doing. Are the temp leagues those 3 things that pop up at char select with time remaining? I think I need a crash course in game modes/rewards/etc, and a good build that handles most things well for all these time-sensitive challenges.

Temp league is stuff like Prophecy or Perandus or w/e the themed name is and basically is Standard + gimmick, lasts 3 months, and is a fresh start each time. Rly fun since a fresh start means you don't have to deal with everyone being uber rich/leveled while you're starting out

Prophecies are totally up to RNGesus, but they can be bought and sold once sealed, which costs more coin. Earthquake kicks pretty much all melee skills' rear end

Is there any gear that is generally recognized as beneficial to farm for your account early on? Like using Chance orbs for Unique flasks, or must have vendor recipes, etc. Are there any orbs I should absolutely not use at all?

When I think endgame viable I think of builds that you can do everything up to red maps with okay mods (ie: not double reflect eweakness -max resist 300% damage) without wanting to pull your hair out as a casual player. I don't think GS is one of those skills anymore, which makes me sad because I like GS. A skilled player with a lot of currency can make just about any skill endgame viable.
