Any good source of builds and items that you should look for? I'm seeing some uniques and stuff that the negatives on them seem worse then positives and just assume their trash but want to check. (Also yay finally hit empowered monoliths! DROPS SO MANY DROPS)

I saw some gameplay vids from people playing the D4 beta, and my recent experience in LE seems way more fun. I'm about level 90 and working my way through level 100 echoes with x3 to x4 corruption shades. For goons crushing end-game stuff, what kind of tooltip DPS do you have for your main skills?

There is no way that's correct for DPS though, shadow daggers is a status that procs damage after 4 stacks are applied, though it may mean the damage of an average proc. At around 150 - 200 corruption the damage still feels solid.

Ok I fell in a stupid trap with Beastmaster. Stacking minion damage items. No, this class wants to fight with the minions to buff them! I'm not a necromancer. I need to rethink my whole equip setup

You definitely want to stack minion stats if you are building around a beastmaster companion. Spriggan (and to a lesser extent, wolf and crows) can work as a support minion but most other minions will have a low impact if you don't try to scale their damage at all. Good builds for beastmaster: Bleed Bear Swipe Version & Barebones Caster Version Bear has a node that retaliates with a thorn volley every time it takes 75 damage. You can also stack a lot of bleed chance and duration on it using gear and by spamming thorn shield on it in spriggan form. You end up with a walking thorn pinata that can ramp up to 400-500 bleed stacks and melt bosses. The swipe version is better at closing distance to enemies and has better clear in monoliths, while the caster version should do better versus bosses. I recommend taking eterra's blessing on thorn shield cast and using it as sustain and cleanse for yourself on top of being able to buff the bear some more. You need rage sustain from uniques to make it a workable option, though. Bleed Wolves Planner & Video Showcase This uses a similar gear setup to bleed bear but you have a full pack of wolves (eventually squirrels) that scale really well with high investment. The build can push corruption and do fine with normal wolves, but eventually wants to use the Herald of the Scurry helm which is a fairly rare chase unique that doubles your amount of wolves, turns them into squirrels, and turns howl into a bigger attack speed buff. This lets you stack a lot of minion bleed stacks very fast and melt bosses while still maintaining decent clear. I haven't tried it with wolves yet, but the new bee relic gives all of your minions physical damage leech which works on bleed and should make the wolves/squirrels nigh immortal. Crit Necrotic Wolves Video with planners in the description This build uses high level boots that drop from the Age of Winter monolith boss to add flat necrotic damage to wolves per stack of maelstrom you cast. It also makes the spell effect for maelstrom look very cool. Less high end damage potential than bleed version, but more style points. Swipe Crowstorm I don't know of a planner for this since it's a new build with 0.9, but you take the node in swipe that activates your companion ability every 2 seconds and use it to nuke with the crow companion ability, a big lightning AoE. You want to run it as a solo companion, since the more damage mods from that are bigger than the multi-crow version and it's way easier to keep one big crow alive and it lets you spec into the node that gives the crow basic attacks more damage but drains your mana. The build can also be played as a druid in werebear form, using the node that buffs companions when you use maul. For the other companions: Scorpion is playable as a minion poison build but poison is in a worse place than bleed currently and the venom nova it casts feels kind of slow and mediocre. The baby scorpions it creates notably don't scale with your gear and passives because they count as being summoned by the scorpion and not you. Sabertooth is almost an entirely new ability this patch. I tried it with bleed bear gear during the pre-0.9 playtest and it performed a bit worse than the bear but seemed playable. Planner for a crit version that should be pretty good. The leap ability it has is actually pretty nice because it means it won't get stuck pathing back and forth between you and enemies due to the sometimes dodgy melee minion AI. Raptor is an older ability that can do great single target damage with either crit or bleed but basically only has an autoattack. It has abysmal clear and has largely been surpassed by the other minions. If you want to do damage yourself, swipe is an option but werebear kind of does swipe better than beastmaster. Serpent strike got reworked with 0.9 and doesn't seem to be in a great place. It makes you very tanky with the dodge chance on hit but you're stuck only ever hitting enemies directly next to you with your stick which is awful for clear and is a very monotonous playstyle. I leveled to 82 using the serpent venom nodes in the tree and while the damage was ok and I felt immortal, I just couldn't stand how dull the gameplay was. It does work well as a sort of support skill in swarmblade builds, though. gnoma fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Mar 19, 2023 |

I don't know if it's good but I've been building mine as a "as many pets as possible" setup with triple wolves, raptor and sabertooth and it's working out pretty nicely so far. Only problem is I specced into the full aspect of the panther side of swipe and it can sometimes be difficult to maintain stacks on certain bosses. If I get into positions my pile of pets makes up for individual power with masses of attacks. I've only just now gotten to empowered monoliths though so it might fall off.

I've been playing a mana stacking Sorcerer and it is ridiculously OP. The passive that gives you 10 ward for every 10 max mana you have when you cast a spell is incredibly broken. Standing still spamming glacier I'm at a steady 8-10k ward, and that's with mediocre gear.

Is there some sort of 2H dps advantage I'm not seeing? Or does the game add ignite damage dots to your spell DPS. I'm using the 2H pontifex staff which has a huge amount of ignite but jo lightning synergy. If I equip a 1h staff with +lightning damage%, +spell power and cast speed % the tooltip goes down? Everything on the 1 hander is on my tooltip synergies.

Any type of damage can cause ignites if your items have "chance to ignite on hit" so that 2hander basically applies 1.68 stacks of ignite per hit, and it also boosts the damage of ignites substantially. And yeah that will factor in to your tooltip dps as far as I'm aware.

I don't think they've ever done a character wipe, but I remember seeing something about moving characters from the main league (whatever they end up calling it) to a 'standard' type character whenever they do a new reset kind of like PoE does.

Okay so now that I actually understand what I should be doing in the Echos I'm really enjoying the Monolith endgame grind. Before, my friend and I were clearing out every node and getting the max stability bonus before moving on but I had no idea about the corruption mechanic. Seems way more beneficial to rush through to find the "Echo of a world" nodes that will increase corruption after a boss fight. I'm really starting to see huge packs of mobs now which I felt was lacking a bit in the game up to this point. It's just so much fun Rampaging around in Werebear form ground pounding everything into dust.
