Darkvale Gate is also a not-horrible place to find them. There's a tomb near the Asterkarn Valley waypoint that's decent for them as well.

Hexenritter posted:I'm playing a ranged demolitionist, and for my second class I specced into Soldier and I'm thinking I gimped myself. Any ideas? I'm level 28 and don't really want to start over with another demo. If you go dual wield pistols and rely on Fire Strike for your damage, you can get Field Command / Squad Tactics + Oleron's Rage + Military Condition + Markovian's Advantage (all maxed) in Soldier. All are very good for your setup. If you go 1h ranged, it's probably best to run Fire Strike early on and eventually switch to the heavily-buffed Cadence-line later on, especially once you start seeing Valdun items. That'll leave you with Demo as the support-tree, which is still nice for things like Flame-Touched / Temper + the total speed buff that I'm totally forgetting the name of + Flashbang + Blast Shield Commando is, in most situations, the best setup for a ranged character. You didn't gimp yourself in the least. Just don't take more points in spirit than you need for jewelry (326 for endgame) Focacciasaurus_Rex posted:*In dps DPS is all that matters.

I rolled up a new character, going with a Blade Dancer(?) this time. Should I use cadence or just regular attacks. Not quite sure how the "Activates off of any default attacks" things work.

watho posted:I rolled up a new character, going with a Blade Dancer(?) this time. Should I use cadence or just regular attacks. Not quite sure how the "Activates off of any default attacks" things work. Things that trigger off your default attacks will also trigger off things like Cadence that are designed specifically to replace your default attack. (Cadence, Fire Strike, Savagery or whatever the Shaman one is killed are the main ones, I think). Some 0-cooldown attacks aren't so designed, but they'll say so in the description. And Cadence will absolutely be better than your default attack. One alternative to using either Cadence or ordinary vanilla attacks with a Nightblade combo, though, is to put Ameratsa's Blade Burst on your left-click. While it's on cooldown, you'll do default attacks (and have the chance to proc your special attacks that trigger there), but one attack out of every 3 or 4 or so will be a Blade Burst, and once you have points in Lethal Assault, that will buff all of your attacks (since it triggers every time you do a blade burst and lasts a few seconds). I don't know if this is better than Cadence (I've not really played much with Soldier) but I can absolutely vouch for it as being very effective on the Witch Hunter (Nightblade+Occultist) I'm currently running. Once you have a few proc-on-attack devotions that you can put on either Blade Burst (or Cadence) or one of your proc-on-default attacks, then poo poo gets crazy.

I see, thanks. I'll probably go with Cadence then. Ameratsa's Blade Burst is pretty rad but I don't think I'll be using it as my main attack, so to speak.

I'm bad at this game, but I remember seeing several nerds on the main forum say that cadence is not so great with the skills that activate off default attacks since those attacks won't actually activate on the main, every third swing, cadence hit. Also, the main cadence hit will only swing with your main hand weapon and will never use your off-hand, so cadence is mostly good for sword-and-board witchblades and battlemages.

You're correct in that Cadence isn't as good as other default attack replacements for the purposes of triggering effects that specifically trigger off of default attacks. This is because the third attack (the Cadence hit) doesn't count as a default attack for some reason, so it can't proc stuff that will only proc off of a "default attack." But devotions that just proc off an ability/attack, can proc on the first, second and third attacks (I believe). The good news is that Cadence has been buffed in the latest patch and is pretty powerful. For ranged attacks, in that if you upgrade the skill that lets it pierce, it can wreck an entire crowd of monsters. However, like all default attack replacement skill lines, it takes a lot of skill points to develop. If you like more spread out and dynamic builds, here are some items that provide good replacements that come to mind: - https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/7538-Shard-of-Beronath (counts as a default attack) - https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/2925-Mistborn-Talisman (counts as a default attack) - https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/2472-Void-Touched-Ammo (left click replacement, but doesn't count as a default attack) - https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/2418-Amber (left click replacement, but doesn't count as a default attack) - https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/2435-Flintcore-Bolts (left click replacement, but doesn't count as a default attack) - https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/2430-Deathchill-Bolts (left click replacement, but doesn't count as a default attack) Dahbadu fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Aug 24, 2016 |

watho posted:I seem to recall something like that now that you mention it. I probably won't do Cadence then! Back to the theorycrafting board. Cadence is garbage for Blademasters, don't use it. Depending on points distribution it can actually be a DPS drop to use it over regular default attacks. What you want is Mistborn Talisman, eventually replacing it with a Shard of Beronath weapon component. Those two are the only things a Blademaster should ever have on his left click. Don't run Amarastas. It's true that you will do normal attacks inbetween Amarastas, but those will be un-enhanced attacks. I'd like to emphasize again that every dual-wield Blademaster should run Mistborn Talisman or Shard of Beronath. Shard is better because it allows you to run Belgothian's Carnage in the relic slot, but Mistborn is available earlier and is cheaper, so you can normally start out with that. E: List of situations in which you should run Cadence: - You're playing a Valduns set commando - You're doing a really weird and dumb sword and board build List of situations where you should not: - All others The Mash fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Aug 25, 2016 |

Is Shard of Beronath a really really rare drop or is it crafted only? The wiki says it's a rare component but I have 400+ hours in this game and have never seen one.

It seems like the speedrun community for this game is finally starting to get some legs, which is nice. There's only two people with completed runs on speedrun.com right now but I know of at least 3 other people that are either working on runs or have expressed interest in it. I have the WR at 1:22:56 right now but there is tons of room for improvement. I'm planning on doing a commentary/tutorial video to help people out who want to get into running it once I finish the D3 season journey/stop being lazy. Overall I like the run because I have old man reactions and can't really pull off crazy movement tricks that runs of other games do, and this run is more about routing/optimization/bad RNG mitigation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp5nSDgfuok The Rokstar fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Aug 25, 2016 |

I have a question. At the moment on my Occultist/Shaman build I'm running Solael's Witchfire and Savagery, but I'm in a groove in my build where I'm just using skills when I have either weapon out. Neither of those are helpful then, right?

Neither of those are helpful then, right? Neither does anything big for abilities, correct. They are an auto-attack buff and an auto-attack replacer, respectively Technically, the % damage bonus on Solaels gets added to all abilities that do that type of damage and the flat damage on it gets added to abilities with a %weapon damage ratio in that fraction.

Captain Foo posted:I'd be interested in a commentary video for sure - I don't have time to watch this right now, but what do you use for a build? Basically the fastest build by far is Trickster. The main skills in the build (in roughly the order you get them) are devouring swarm, pneumatic burst, shadow strike, NJE, and veil of shadow. I'm still working on optimizing leveling, but as of right now at least you start off with max devouring swarm, then you get shadow strike, then max pneumatic burst. Somewhere around just before you fight the amalgamation I've started doing a respec to take the pneumatic burst points and put them in NJE because that's where your damage comes from for the second half of the run. After amalgamation priority is to re-max pneumatic burst then all remaining points go into veil because the endgame enemies will eat you alive at level 26 without a defensive skill.

Giving this game a second try and trying the pokemon build. I feel like I'm consistently falling behind level-wise with bosses being consistently way above my level and a pain to fight due to the misses/damage output. I try to explore every side area so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm also wearing two pieces (helmet/cuirass) of the Wildcaller's Skins Shaman set because they're better than anything else I've found/crafted yet. Also wearing Frizzick's Utility Pack, a Ring of Vile Intent, Quickdraw Gloves and using a level 30 The Eye 2h rifle.  My present skills are mostly aimed at throwing large amounts of explosives around, as you can see here  so any advice on better builds is always welcome.

The commando-soldier build I have posted in the OP is usually a fun build and should be able to get you through Veteran without much frustration. So if you haven't tried it yet, feel free to.
