Has anyone seen that a reward was available for a world boss but upon completion you didn't get a cache?

Edit: Plus you're still targetable and able to take DoT damage, two things the mist version definitely wins over.

There are no cooldowns on Blood Surge spender and like five Corpse Explosion builders to top up the essence. Also targetable by whom, nothing even touches my healthbar if I just stand there in a pool of poison or not and spam 1400% Overpower.

Did they try to fix something related to GPU usage and made it even worse?

I can see my GPU usage jump from 54% to 93% by just opening the inventory now.

What they actually should do is add more events, enemies, and things to do on the world map instead of just being lazy and making Nightmare Dungeons just like rifts, like they don't have to do that, that doesn't have to be the solution, I don't know why the gently caress everyone is so uncreative about this poo poo.

Cringe is fun sometimes, you just gotta embrace how stupid it is.

Anyway, gently caress this tomb king guy or whatever, not a difficult fight, just incredibly annoying. No, I don't want to Leap over to a loving bone wall in the corner of the room or directly into a shadow pool as the motherfucker teleports everywhere. Of course I don't want to do that.

They're higher item level. Why do (sacred) whites drop? Because Blizzard literally made the same mistake in D4 that they made in D3 with loot 1.0 :laffo:

Just the higher tier of item type.

So basically the same as unique > legendary > yellow > blue > white you have ancestral > sacred > normal.

All things being equal a sacred legendary sword is going to have a higher ilvl and be better than a normal one, and an ancient will be better than that sacred.

They are just a higher tier of base item, like how in Diablo 2 you could get exceptional or elite bases in nightmare/hell difficulty

Did I gently caress myself out of Nightmare dungeons? So I rolled over to WT3, got my first sigil, went and did that dungeon and got a second sigil. Used it to spawn another Nightmare dungeon but didn't go there since I had other poo poo I wanted to do. Forgot about it entirely yesterday. It's just gone? There's a limited amount of time to go do it?

Also I then find out that after beating your first dungeon you're supposed to talk to the enchanter in Kyovashad to get the ability to craft sigils. I didn't, and talking to him now does absolutely nothing. The option is greyed out, can't make a sigil. What do?

You get the enchanter stuff unlocked once you do a level 3 nightmare dungeon (or higher). So if you only did a level 1, then that's why.

Druid leveling is weird. I'll do one story dungeon and I can barely stay alive, using all of my potions constantly. Then the next, I absolutely wreck everything. So weird. Almost like I have one resistance terribly low or something.

Resistances may as well not exist, stat is fundamentally broken. If you're using Cyclone Armor, probably definitely switch it for Earthen Bulwark. And take some time hoofing it to the Dungeons that give some of the better defensive options; that way you can just repeatedly slap it on any good Rare you find.

e; oh and leveling on WT2 isn't really worth it

this is what I don't get about disabling two aspects with no eta on re-enabling them. some people were getting 100 billion damage whirlwinds. who cares? we aren't even playing in a ladder season right now, there's no competitive pvp or pve in this game. why do they have to disable them globally?

I haven’t had any issues going all lightning and trample, then using gear with vulnerable or lightning damage. I melt groups at a time. I have a link to my build in my precious post.

God I hope so. Seas of undulating evil beef as far as the eye can see.

I've also become convinced they programmed the game not to drop items for your current spec. I've had the blacksmith blow up so many goddamn fire legendaries. The past day has made it certain for me though.

I figured I'd try a proper reccomended sorc build just to see how it rolls. Arc Lash / Chain Lightning since I had like all the aspects already. First off, yeah that poo poo is busted. Then like the 3rd area I hit dropped unique frost spec pants. Well whatever, let's try the official ice shards build for funsies too. First helltide I hit, unique lightning spec staff. gently caress you game, I'm not changing again, besides it seemed pretty poo poo. Then a few minutes ago unique fire spec staff drops too.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I beat the campaign and want to do a little plot talk. Overall it was far better than D3’s plot but I do have some confusion. Inarius is basically just confirmed for being a dumbass and is maybe worse than Lilith from what I’m getting. Lilith had demon morality but cared about the future of Humanity in her hosed up way, but Inarius didn’t care if everyone died as long as he could get back to heaven. So why did we never just try to talk to Lilith, she seemed like she may have listened to reason. Less of a waste of time than talking to Inarius, anyway.

Also it almost felt like Diablo 3 never happened. I didn’t catch any references to the plot of 3 during the campaign. Maybe some side-quests had connections?

Every ARPG has a built in desire-o-meter that doesn't drop what you want, it's not based off your current build.

Took me 3 days to find a Stormchaser Aspect when I was wanting to swap to Tornado. Four hundred loving thousand Aspect of the Blurred Beast though via Obols and drops.
