Transmogs. There's some overlap between Whimseyshire and Whimseydale, but I think the sword (Spectrum) is a -shire only drop.

Sword drops from the goblin one. Same with the hamburger. There really isn't a need other than to say you've done it, with the one exception being the character portrait. Everything else, including wings, can be got from the goblin version.

Does Whimseyshire give you as much gold as Whimseydale does? I doubled my gems, gold, and crafting mats in a single run through whichever one the Goblin opens, so I wouldn't mind doing that again.

Mills posted:Sunwuko monk back again. You alternate hits, or in you case bells with each weapon, so its easy, the second one, reroll %AS to either RCR or CDR, probably cooldown. You need 10% damage on each weapon to effectively get an actual 10% damage bonus which makes it horrible, when things like LPH, RCR and CDR stack to their full effectiveness, not counting diminishing returns built into them. Worth knowing as its the same for any dual wield class, so Monks Barbs and DH, you almost never want %damage unless you have nothing better to put on or its for a speed build. If you enjoy pushing rifts you need really high CDR because you will pretty much instantly die outside of Epiphany if engaging anything, so more cooldown means more epiphany, which means more damage because you'll spend your time outside of the cooldown running away or trying to group up enemies. The only way to get 100 percent uptime involves Zodiac ring shenanigans which means you would drop either Unity, which isn't happening, or Convention of Elements, which by itself I think adds like 2-3 rift levels depending on class.

I completed chapter 4 of my first season. It looks like the rewards really taper off after here but I might keep pushing it just because it's fun to play a stupid powerful dude. I can't earn any other sets as chapter rewards on new characters until the next season, right?

Chapter 4 of the season journey is the main part, after that it's just cosmetic portrait frames to show how far you got. Still provides a decent guide to progression towards higher GR etc and some things to do along the way.

I saw this on Xmas sale and figured it was time to pick it up. I just reached Act 2, and I’m still not quite clear on some stuff. It looks like Adventure mode doesn’t open until I complete the campaign once. Should I bother with starting a new Seasonal character, or will the current season be ending soon? I’m a little surprised how little feedback I get so far. I’m running a wizard and so far haven’t found a way to determine how much damage my skills do beyond feel. I never use my weapon attack, so I basically ignore its dps and just stack Int. Am I doing it right? All the gear has pretty basic attributes. I’ve played Grim Dawn and that other F2P one that I’m forgetting the name of. This seems significantly more simplified.

When you are that early in the game, it really is just about that simple. Your weapon damage and main stat are what mostly determine your damage. Once you get to level 70 it gets more complicated, but while you are doing the story mode just use new gear that makes your numbers bigger and have fun trying out all your new skills and combinations of them.

Vyr doesn't really feel great with just the 6pc bonus, what with the 2 min cooldown. Making a wizard as the 1st season char may have not been the best idea.

Vyr's is the weakest Wizard set, but something that's not going to be obvious to a newcomer is that you won't be effective with just the 6pc. At the very least you'll also need the Swami, Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac, Fazula's belt, and Chantodo's with a healthy amount of cooldown reduction from gear. I'd recommend looking up a guide on icy-veins for all the supporting items you'll need to make any set effective.

If you switch to seasonal, adventure mode is unlocked right away. You can also get someone from LLJK to boost you to maltheal to unlock adventure mode in non-season. But if you go adventure mode you can do crap like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx_-wGb02XE e: also it's late season so the lljk community is prob dead

Everything uses your Weapon damage (well except thorns) so dps on the weapon is extremely important.

Got to chapter 6 and I assume at this point is when I really need to be serious about the cube and trying to make good hellfires or something because holy moly random mobs are one-shotting me on Torment X. I'm still hitting hard enough, like my damage has topped out at around 2.1 billion and I assume that's still plenty for chopping down enemies, but not dying is hard.Vomik posted:Everything uses your Weapon damage (well except thorns) so dps on the weapon is extremely important. Is DPS actually more important than how hard it hits overall? I got the impression that unless I'm using like a signature spell/resource builder attack/basic attack/whatever, my attack speed really doesn't matter a ton because I just want my AOEs to build off the biggest possible damage number so all the multiplicative things become huge. I'm new though so there's a ton of poo poo I don't know yet.

They can be helpful when you're in a bad spot. The armor and healing % pots feel far more useful than a random teleport or 50-100 more resist.

Virtually every build has 2+ sources of -50% damage taken that you'll need in high torments and GRifts. Usual sources are: Your set bonuses, 2x Unity + Invincible follower, class-specific bracers/rings/belts with damage reduction, the Endless Walk jewelry set, or -50% damage taken on skills with high uptime (eg. Akarat's Champion/Vengeance). You might also have to ditch a speed/damage passive for a good defensive passive. Target your gambles towards these slots (especially the class-specific armors which are cheap to gamble and often best in slot) and you'll be stomping T13 in no time. You can also use the goldwrap + boon of the hoarder + avarice band combo everywhere except greater rifts. hampig fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Jan 8, 2018 |

So, I beat Chapter 4 of the thing that rewards you a set. I'm now tackling T5 pretty reliably, but can't go beyond that. My only problem is that I don't really care about my ladder standings, and I'm having trouble caring about doing random rifts and bounties. I know this is subjective, but is there any other goal I can reach for, or if I'm bored, then I just roll a new class and work on getting them to 70?

For what it's worth, I went Wizard this season and still managed fine. I'm not a fan of big cooldown-based builds either, but Vyr's out of the box is still decent enough to get started on other builds. I lucked out in getting good channeling specific items (Deathwatch + Etched Sigil), so I rolled around as a bad Archon for a while until I found enough pieces of Tal Rasha to make the switch. At one point, mind you, I was doing more damage channeling out of Archon than for the first half of the Archon, until I built up some stacks.

I don't know what basically all those items are but I get you inasmuch as now I know why all the barb builds are running Furious Charge, since that one rune can give them near constant uptime on the 80% damage reduction.

Yeah 100% don't worry about getting your characters to GR90s your first time playing. Just play new classes if you get bored of the old one, you'll eventually find a build that has a good mix of survivability, damage, and speed, and playstyle that you enjoy enough to put the time in to optimize. A lot of D3 is just learning the game and the mechanics and the item pool. Check D3fans or icy-veins for builds. If you have an endgame build in mind, you should find basically all the pieces for it naturally before long, but you need to have that direction as early as possible. TBH, I'd just pick any build that seems vaguely fun and says top-tier or gr90+ and work towards it, you'll gear into it pretty quickly.

Also for gods sake plz don't do any more campaign than minimally necessary. Just get to farming rifts and greater rifts asap. The rewards are the best there, you'll gear up rapidly and you'll burn out quickly enough to enjoy the next season even more.

I would be fine if they just coded every skill damage bonus, legendary item bonus, and set item bonus to be randomized on a scale from like a -100% to a +500% range. The every season they just press that old scramble button and let the community figure things out from there.

Finally got some cube items to switch over from a Seismic Slam based Immortal Kings build to a Hammer of the Ancients one based on some suggestions. It's way less dramatic but it also doesn't run nearly the risk of sputtering out on Fury. When playing with friends it also gives them the opportunity to kill things once in a while and I think they appreciate that.
