I killed the butcher on my 33ish sorc but it was sheer luck and years of kiting experience. I could stand and blast him when all my cooldowns were up (ice armor, frost nova for vuln, unstable currents to make a dent in his health bar), but then I had to run like crazy, chug potions, and juke his chain and charge. Took me about 5 minutes, mostly waiting on the cooldown of unstable currents. Now I'm 36 and just doing the act 1 pilgrimage. Easily going to be twice the level my beta character was when I finish act 1. I set out tonight to speed run the plot and make progress towards my mount, then found myself spending an hour helping the bear clan tribe. What, no, don't give me your sacred hammer... I'm just gonna melt down the thing at your own blacksmith...

I got disconnected immediately after killing (Act VI boss) Ashava and now it's telling me my account is locked and try again in a few minutes. My review: Game's really big. The story is exactly what I want out of a higher-number sequel story that balances the old and new in a way that rehashes some, but is mostly fresh. Also, the writing and some of the quests are clearly influenced by Witcher 3. An NPC used the word "whoreson" which I'd never known until it was said about 200 times in W3.

lol loving Christ, was in town waiting on my party to finish their poo poo when I got DC'd and now I'm getting quote:Your Account Is Currently Locked. Please wait a few minutes and try again. (Code 395002) When I try to log back in. With people online saying that this lasted for anywhere between a few minutes and a few hours. Guess there is no playing the game for me.

I repaired my install and it fixed something similar - TPs and waypoints would just fizzle, so I ran back to town and clicked my stash which booted me out lol First post since game release since time posting is time not on that grind  the game is fun, I keep getting distracted from my "rush this poo poo" plan by fun events and side quests.

Couldn't resist picking up the game. Playing a barb and it rules. I really like the arsenal system they have going on with all their weapons. Dunno about builds or whatever or even if the barb is good but this is fun.

I have had 2 MQL errors tonite tho, killed a boss for a story quest and it just didn't register had to restart the game, and a quest that won't progress. I'm on PS5 and others on PC mentioned having a couple of similar issues. For me a quit//reload fixed it both times. Also someone upthread asked if anyone thought the Lunging Strike sound for Barbs was tool loud and I want to say no, not at all.

After fully exploring two sub-zones, game would not let me traverse into new zone / teleport home. Had to actually *log out* and *download a patch* - lost 5 minutes of actual in-game time. I swear to god Blizz, this is loving pathetic, YOU CAN'T KEEP GOING ON LIKE THIS (first actual issue so far, this is a pretty good launch for a AAA always-online game)

31 on a wizard and playing around with builds it feels like chain lightning is the strongest. The aspect that gives you mana when you self-bounce helps chain lightning in ST so it's good at everything. Unstable Currents is great for bosses. I didn't try fire too much but wasn't digging hydra. Inferno sounded cool though.

As far as bugs/issues go, I had one weird issue in a dungeon where none of my abilities worked. Pressing the buttons didn't do anything, dodge didn't do anything. Weirdly enough though the jump/climb function still worked. Had to log out to character screen and come back to fix it. Another time I had my character somehow glitch out underneath the terrain and get stuck, had to tp out and run back. Other than that, I've had several instances of an npc getting stuck when trying to lead them to the next quest marker. Usually running away a screen or two and coming back fixes those, although I did have one where I had to go find a jump/climb spot to get the npc to "un-stick" out of the animation they were stuck in before coming back. I didn't think to try TPing out and back to fix that one.

I haven't seen very many bugs aside from the skill bug relog thing. I know several stud-level HC racers have lost characters due to mobs with bugged abilities that were beyond the scope of the betas. Almost everyone in Shroud's group died around level 50 as they were starting WL 3 content to completely different things; one was an infinite duration stun that no CDs could get out of including ones you should be able to use during a stun. Another was a mysterious DoT that never ended even after all mobs were disengaged, several potions were used, and an immunity ability didn't purge it. I guess the game has trouble loading horse models when other players mount (on my 4090 PC lol, don't think it's a hardware prob) but that's a minor graphical issue.

Yo some of these dungeon bosses don't mess around. I'm level 15 on world tier 1 and I had to try 3 times to kill this one in Light's Keep, and I made it only by the skin of my teeth.

Enjoying a (early, leveling) storm druid build, with blood howl to keep health+spirit up and wolves to keep bosses distracted and give some extra help with getting big hp sponges down with the active skill. The 5th node unlocks a big bunch of storm-spell-bonuses and I just clear out screens quite fast now that I spent a few points there, plus hurricane seems to be pretty darn good and I can't wait for Cataclysm (still level 21 or so). I'd just love to have a bit more spirit in order to cast more before having to wail on people with my basic skill, but maybe gear will eventually help with that. I do miss Diablo 3's infinite free respec, but I can see how this will be more satisfying to figure out a good build... Do people tend to use their 4 non-mouse skill slots on 4 different abilities, as the game seems to want you to, or double down on stuff? Early on when mobs and elites were less dangerous I'd have both Rend and Lightning Storm as core skills (but using targetable attack skills from hotkeys sucks rear end  ) for high hp and trash swarms respectively, but now I kinda need that slot for a defense skill, and I'm not giving up the better spells I'm unlocking later on to keep using 2 "early game" let's say skills from the same tier...

For a data point.....I'm not a super min max player but I did follow a chain lightning build guide.... campaign took me about 14 hours, at the end I was level 37 but everyone in the last act was 45, still extremely doable though the levels don't scale nearly as badly as past diablo games where that would have been impossible. I did next to no side quests, if I could do it over again I would've done some side stuff for renown during the campaign to be leveled a little higher though. This was tier 1 only Is it just me or are strongholds clearly the easiest path for renown points? They take even less time than codex dungeons. Has anyone gotten to WT3 yet? I'm gonna wait til 45 to try that quest. molestrios fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Jun 3, 2023 |

Your basic skill probably tells you it does 10% of your weapon damage. Leveling it up will increase that percentage. Other skills will work in the same way,
