Lightning spear is fun because it's like having a lightning version of Yondu's arrow thing from Guardians of the Galaxy. Plus there's an aspect that gives it a decent chance of having a duplicate.

I see the maxroll guide for twisting daggers rogue says poison trap, but I don't like using poison trap. Shadow imbue is way more fun. I think I dislike builds that put your own fire on the ground. Years of wow trained me to not stand in the fire, so having fire that's okay to stand in that's a slightly different shade of green than fire that's not okay to stand in is too complicated for my old rear end.

Mayveena posted:How are folks' Butcher encounters going? Anyone beat him? I hit him at level 10 with a Druid. That was a sad ending. My butcher encounter went as follows: while mowing down a very large pack of mobs one of them seemed to be beefier than the rest "oh. OH" and then I died a few seconds later. He was hiding in plain sight

I think my main gripe (having not played it yet) is the aspect system, I’d like trading and having to rely on found items but it’s not a big deal

I hope you like spending 100s of hours spamming Frozen orb I uh don't really think the story sucks at all, so far. Presentation is certainly head and shoulders above anything else they've ever done in Diablo and the side content (not all of it, but certainly a bunch of it) is actually meaningful and entertaining, which is a first for the series. I'm not saying it's loving literature or anything but it's far from the worst video game story I've enjoyed and it's a pretty good overwrought Diablo devils and angels yarn. Some of the in-game cinematics are really well composed - you can tell the art team really likes giving Lillith dramatic entrances.

Im not super far in but the writing is already substantially better than Diablo 3, which isn't exactly a high bar but still. The in-engine cutscenes are very excellently done as well, that's my favorite part of the game so far.

Is there a continuation of this Packleader build for Druid that goes beyond level 25 anywhere? Edit: Oh I see in the intro they mention the Toxic Werewolf build being basically that.

I have played countless hours of d1,d2, and d3 and have zero knowledge about the lore. I don’t know what a soulstone is besides a way to get a rune.

It's a shiny rock that's used to trap a big demon but it was actually a trick by the big demons to get them closer to their goal of taking over the world by combining them all into a bigger demon.

And you have to use the Hell Forge Hammer to destroy it at the Hell Forge, for a chance to get a good rune

I have completed the campaign to the point of getting to the Tree of Whispers adventure mode stuff. 18 hours straight like a machine. I already had high expectations for the story, but I was still impressed.

I've been enjoying the story so far. Granted, I went in with zero expectations after D3 but what they have here is solid for Diablo. Actually looking forward to more story content.

That said, the spectacle and scene chewing and pulp of the story in IV is entertaining as hell. I think my only complaint along those lines is that the gloomy look and feel is kinda fatiguing. I felt that way in the beta and seems some reviewers agreed. It's no dealbreaker and the style is incredible, but it would be nice to get the occasional change in tone.

To make sure I'm understanding the mechanic correctly - I have a mace with a 1.0-1.4% chance to execute injured non-elites on a Lucky Hit. If I use Lightning Storm which has a 15% Lucky Hit chance on it, that means Lightning Storm needs to proc, and THEN the mace has its chance to proc its effect? So the actual chance for the mace's effect to activate is somewhere around 0.24%?
