You know he's the villain, because he's got shifty eyes.
The only notable primals I got are firebird gloves, the shadow dagger (it came with RCR, I think Kulle was trolling me) and the grenade belt which is absolutely perfect aside the fact that it's primal :shepicide:

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
I've had no primals over a few hundred paragon levels since beating GR70.

I have literally never equipped a primal, because all 15 or so Primal that I've gotten have either been blackthorn's, or vanilla legendaries, or truly heinous rolls on jewelry

Kadala is the true Prime Evil, I'm convinced. She should be a boss fight, not a merchant.

Nah, just re-color the necro's ice golem to red and then call it Kadala's Blood Shard Golem.

The golem starts at low base stats, but gets an increase of 0.001% or something like that for every blood shard given to Kadala by anyone on the server, but resets at the start of each new season.

You can challenge it at any time, with the reward being a bunch of shards based on its current level. But eventually it would probably become impossible to kill.

Man, the Seeker of the Light set gameplay is dire. Particularly with suboptimal gear.

I can't keep Falling Sword off cooldown enough because its landing strike obliterates half of what it hits... but I can't bump up the difficulty because I get smooshed without perma-Akarat. And FS still costing wrath to use in a set where it's entirely possible to run out is unforgivable. The refund bracers are incredibly troublesome because you can drain a full wrath globe on a boss before the hammers start despawning (again, no perma-Akarat) which means you lose your defenses because you need hammer hits for cooldown and the actual wrath to spend. And to top it off, hammers have no visual impact and their hitbox is frustrating.
I managed to scrape together a Roland set last night and it was really nice to play a build that didn't just get squished instantly if you caught a pack at the wrong time.

Granted, in the hour or so I played Roland, I got a second Unity, the second piece of Endless Walk (I was using F/R before that, which was interesting), an ORotZ to cube, and a Johanna's Argument that wasn't almost the worst possible roll, so maybe I could go back to the hammer build and be a little stouter, but I sort of don't want to anymore.

I have a question. I got the IK 6p which raises damage by 1500% when the two buffs are active .

My sheet was 600,000 with no buffs . I put on both buffs and sheet Dps says only 800,000. That does not appear to be a 1500% improvement .

What am I missing .

Set bonuses don't show up on your character sheet. The sheet is only useful for comparing performance between two of the same set.

So if you have IK and want to see if gloves with 10 crit 40 chd is better or 9 crit 50 chd is better the sheet damage will tell you that. But it won't tell you if your Raekkor set is doing more damage than your IK set.

Glad to see it's not just me, I ran into this last night. I think it also affects the "clear GR 15/20/etc using 1/2/3 class sets" achievements, but that's not season-specific

So I just got to play the new season yesterday night with some buds. I decided to play another necro.

I'd forgotten what life was like without all my skill toys. I have to command skeletons more than once per rift like I'm some kind of loving peasant!

Yep! Not like it matters though. It's stupid easy even solo. Just horsey ride looking for elites and spam the shield button.

Don't over complicate it.

Paragons are not all created equal, remember. If you do a bunch of group rifts at higher levels you're obviously going to have a lot less play time/drops potentially vs. somebody else who mostly rifts or does solo GRs. That said, I'm P670ish and I've found at least 6-10 of them and given away quite a few.

Since the RNG refuses to give up a second Unity or a single Lion fist, what should I switch to from Uli for variety? The "top tier" wave of light looks interesting, or run support for a while? I think the only thing I'm missing is illusory boots.

Bells is super super squishy. I tried it and I one shot stuff at GR85 but die if anything looks at me funny.

If you can get a RROG you can run lefebvre shoulders + spirit guards both for approx the same amount of dmg reduction as double unity

I’m only at gr40 with not great gear and I basically have to run rrog and both of those just to survive long enough to pop ep and sss.

At GR 40 run a rune that's not cold for exploding palm. The dot will kill stuff for you, no SSS needed.

I'm playing monk this season and at GR40 you should just kill stuff before they kill you. Dash in, punch until palm is applied and gently caress off to the next pack. You'll have a toughness problem until you get to GR 70+ because the main way you get toughness (landing SSS) doesn't work because stuff dies too fast.
