If you go into the max spirit nodes on the ancestral guidance paragon board and take the max spirit skill point nodes you end up with a lot of spirit, I have 165, and with even a bit of a spirit cost reduction you can pulverize 5-7 times with your spirit maxed, this makes it way more likely you'll get an earthen might proc before you run out.

I've reached level 20 with a friend and we're both really confused about stats and gear. We're a necromancer / sorcerer combo. We have no idea what we're meant to be doing. I just equip stuff that boosts my intelligence, even if it's a sword. I'll also put armour on if it gives me a lot of extra defense, even if the piece comes with +8 strength or whatever. Do stats matter that much? What am I supposed to actually be doing in terms of gear and stats? None of the vendors give a ready supply of good gear, they only ever offer 2 or 3 things that aren't very beneficial.

The overworld doesn't really have that density but it feels like once you go into higher level dungeons it ramps up. I think it starts getting better in higher tier dungeons yeah, I've done up to a 17 and it's getting nice. I was pretty disappointed at first, especially coming from doing maps in project Diablo 2, but some areas in dungeons have been crowded enough to feel like a goomba stomp

Cool thanks, I'll give it a look. Started a barbarian since it's the most familiar from previous games but part of the fun is to try new stuff. I'm liking that you have a bunch of weapons and you use each depending on the skill. Frenzy uses the hatchets, bash the hammer... etc.

You should find gear which buffs your main stat and also the secondary stats which synergize with your chosen build

It's going to change build-to-build.

I had to save my sanity and quit with the side stuff by the middle of act 2, and I was already level 40. My barbarian had to be picky with gear starting in the mid 20s because I think the build I was using (HotA mega hits) was pretty sensitive to changes. If I was lax in looking at gear it wouldn't be long until the demons started to be able to no sell hits. I guess I'm headed for story missions only now. Lvl46 barb in T2/Act2 and I haven't been doing any particular build, just kind of picking/choosing as I went. I'm not a MIN/MAX player either. I didn't know about the T2 cap or what levels were expected when - just been enjoying the all the neat side missions chains.

Early stats are very simple: identify and stack as many bonuses that compliment your build as possible. If you hover over a primary stat it'll tell you what the total number is doing for you and +10 intelligence won't do as much as +10-15% poison, close, to vuln, to slowed, etc. As my rogue I'll stack +poison, +traps, +close, +imbuements. 20-30% bonus per for a build where I get in the monsters faces, drop traps and stab them standing in the poison goo while I imbue more poison. Stack passives in your skill trees that add to or add more combos to this. I also do +18% to enemies on early hits(healthy) and finishing them(injured), and I can get more of that on my yellows as well. I won't turn down dex as a rogue but it's not as strong a gain this early. And don't seek things that sound useful you don't enable. +Vuln is useless without a source of it, ideally a constant source, for example. If you stack +crit damage have a build that feeds you crits like marksman rogue. Also differentiate big boosts from small ones. +30% basic skills may not be worth much if you only left click as a last resort. You want +30% spenders, when you're doing big hits!

You need to read the items that drop and your skills in your class' tree and match some highlighted keywords together. And read what the stats do instead of just equipping them. They tell you in the screen. They don't do much. You want % damage and/or cool downs. And don't buy vendor items.

I've got some + max spirit on gear and from skill/paragon trees, but I've seen like one piece of useful armor with spirit cost reduction on it this entire time. It sucks! The maxroll guide also tells you to use the wrong aspect for maul (if you don't have the unique hat to let you use earth spike), imo. The bigger AOE one is kinda pointless since maul does poo poo damage anyway, and you don't get extra spirit from hitting more targets, as far as I can tell. A 20% chance to knock a demon on its rear end, on the other hand, is a)pretty good effective damage mitigation b) helps make Earthen Might procs more likely and most importantly, c) is funny as hell.

God drat are the lilith shrines annoying. Am I missing something wrt items, picking up rare sacred at level 58 just seems like a waste of time as they're coming with 3 affixes rather than 4, is that a roll as well for number of affixes or are Legendaries getting an extra one by default?

I never used maul even before I found my hat, gently caress maul man I don't want to stand in melee range swinging at poo poo for 0 damage with a 2 hander. TBH I considered dropping grizzly rage entirely until I could use earth spike with it because it felt bad having to use maul with it active. Spirit reduction only appears on amulets and boots, and the percent reduction on boots sucks until ancestral gear probably (But I still took the 4% I got off my boots, better than nothing.) I have 10% on my boots now and I've been looking for a good amulet drop since like level 50, and I'm 71 now. Any day now.

Astryl posted:I really want to make a druid but my brain worms hate that the character design it's "pretty". Sort of. You'll still revert to human form when you use a non-werewolf skill. That chest piece just makes it so you don't automatically turn back into a human after a few seconds. It's great for the pulverize build because there are a couple different passives that give you guaranteed overpower if you stay a bear long enough or string together 12 kills without changing back. You're also much tankier as a bear. Not entirely sure what the benefit is for werewolf.

There is a passive that gives +movement speed as wolf and maybe crit chance or damage too? Plus the unique still gives +2 to all wolf skills which is worth it on its own

Megasabin posted:I already have all 4 defensive skills on my bar & use a variety of barrier based aspects (+dmge with barrier active, +dmge to vuln with barrier active) I guess I can switch out ice shards for arch lash and then I won't worry about running out of mana. Does it generate enough DPS without unstable currents running? Yes, which surprised me. There's a lot of DPS packed into things like the passive that gives 45% damage when you stun, enchanting arc lash so you stun on every cool down, getting stuns on crit, lightning spears (self cast or unstble cast) with their own happy lil' stun. Of course frost nova vulnerability is key, and the aspect that gives +1 charge as well as putting 5 skill points in it to reduce cooldown is nearly mandatory for high-DPS uptime. To me arc lash feels adequate. It slaps hard enough to keep me going, everything else felt wet noodly, even when I had good luck with resource aspects etc. flashman posted:God drat are the lilith shrines annoying. You must pick up all rares and sell them or you will be so, so, so sad trying to enchant sacred and ancestral items.

I don't know if it's because my PC and/or GPU is kind of aging, but does anyone else feel the horse is not very satisfying to use? The main thing I like about it is that it zooms out, which is how the game should be in the first place. But it gets stuck on random geometry or more often than not some invisible force that slows it to below walking speed. The gallop button is always out of charges, and sometimes it doesn't last as long, probably due to it clipping on invisible objects. As a rogue with 140% move speed, sometimes I feel it's faster to just run and burn dash charges.
