DarkDobe posted:Nightmare Dungeons aren't necessarily giving higher experience - and when you are running them at the 'correct' e.g. 3-5 levels over your character level - they will at best offer you a similar yield as the dungeons would have otherwise, but mixed in with potentially tedious modifiers like 'monsters take 45% less from your main damage type' this is so backwards its crazy. i have one levelled glyph giving me more overpower damage than exists on all the necro paragon boards, and more than the 430 willpower ive got provides. for a whole 7 paragon points. youre grinding a dungeon to get xp so you can eventually grind the nm dungeons which give xp + the actual rewards you want and think this is more efficient lol also lmfao at 3-5 levels over. think more like 20. Devorum posted:Yeah, let me figure that out in Tier 3. I'm an adult, I don't need to take a test. I'd much rather jump a tier, get wrecked, and drop back than fight my way through a dungeon full of annoying teleporting enemies to get to a boss and discover I can't beat him. you would complain about that as well. fix your build.

I easily beat the capstone at 49 and then proceeded to get my rear end kicked up and down WT3 until I scrounged myself up to level 52 or so. If you can’t beat the capstone you arent going to enjoy WT3

If you can't beat the capstones, there is a problem here, and it's not the dungeon my gamers. Upgrade your potato. I'm not being a smartass either. You are literally doing something incorrect. They are literally basic bitch dungeons. Do you have an upgraded weapon within a decent level of yourself? Are you gemming with the best gems available to you? Is your build just a mishmash of whatever you think is good or is there a plan here? Are you using any defensive aspects if you're a squishy glass cannon?

Kaldaris posted:It's more like, when I think of D3 and their legendary weapons with unique effects, most of them push damage in some way and are actually, you know, unique. Spawning a demon to follow you around with a fire chain, turning enemies into lightning rods, summoning angels, creating an AoE zone of holy damage. Like all of that was at least as visually interesting as it was mechanically advantageous. So many aspects just feel ... Uninspired. those exist and are called uniques. legendaries are rares with an aspect stuck on.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:This reminds me - what is the gate on building better gems? I have several dozen of each at Chipped or whatever status but cant upgrade them further (I'm level 32 still on WT1). 40, 60 and 70. Most builds use Emeralds in weapons. Edit: You can use the top 2 tiers at 50 and 60 though so they can start to drop before you can make them. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Jun 14, 2023 |

If resists ever change that will change as well but even in that case it's pretty boring as upgrades go.

You'll start seeing regulars about 40/50ish, then 70. There really isn't an in game notifier that I saw. You can craft sigils at the occultist but I don't remember getting a notification that I could even do that until I went there once and saw two new tabs I didn't remember seeing. Someone posted this happens when you clear a tier 3 sigil. Same for the alchemist. Some recipes unlock once you cross a world tier.

what if there was a tier of equipment called "unique" and it could do unique things like give you a trail of frost when you walk, or make corpse explosion spawn a skeleton that runs at enemies, or completely change how you generate essence?

Gems are kinda underwhelming, especially not having more unique slots effects like helms. Kinda weird they absolutely shower you with them too. Maybe they’ll do something more interesting with them in the seasons.

The only thing that sucks about uniques is that they take away from defensive affixes your gear may normally have so you'll never push high level nightmare dungeons with them.

Been in a bit of a slump with druid. I'm landslide/trample, level 68, and really would rather be another spec, but from what I can tell there are basically 3 viable builds, one of those being slide, and the other two of those are basically hard locked under unique helmets (one making earth skills bear and one making storm skills wolf). Am I just stuck with grinding for one of two uniques to change things up or are there other viable builds floating around?

I cleared the 70 capstone dungeon at 61 and most likely could have done it a few levels earlier. If you are stuck at the 50 dungeon and are 40 or higher there is something wrong with your build.

This game does not make it easy to casually respec. Huge material and time cost for something that might leave me unable to play remotely near the level I was at before. Tried speccing into a companion build earlier and it was time consuming, expensive, and ended up being an awful build anyways. Sab669 posted:Have you the good word of our lord and savior, Tornado? Close range is too dangerous for me at this point, so I think I still need the homing tornado aspect for that to work. But at least that's a bit easier to achieve - so will keep an eye out for it. (also would be leaning towards the endgame wolf build, which looks really good if the helmet ever comes)

Syrinxx posted:I'm doing poison flurry myself but I think I'll switch to this. I don't have all the gear for it yet but it sounds better than penetrating shot for pushing NM tiers Maybe this would change with better gear, but then again other people are also saying this: Flurry is too squishy for WT4. Not that it's not doable, there are 3.5 good Rogue builds (PenShot, Flurry, TB, and Death Trap which is a variation of TB). Whenever I die it's to big damage spikes, which Flurry's healing can't stop. Flurry Rogues want to be in the thick of it more than the others, and when you see a big GTFO circle on the ground you need to GTFO right away or it's instant death. Supposedly there's not a big reason to push NM tiers aside from bragging rights, so I'm not that interested in it right now.

You can still tweak your build pretty heavily, so it's a pretty good middle ground IMO. I've been bouncing back and forth from Bone Spear and Bone Spirit with a combination of both without much trouble.

American McGay posted:Gems are kinda underwhelming, especially not having more unique slots effects like helms. They basically made it incredibly cheap to add sockets to items and gave every item slot multiple sockets. So, you can be loaded up on gems relative to D3. So, they nerfed the impact of gems a lot because you can have so many and people complained about the 10 million different levels of gems + gold sinks + mandatory emeralds in every weapon in D3. I think they went in the right direction, but kind of overcorrected. Especially since they drop so frequently now and have no real purpose once you get your basic slots filled.

If something says "Lucky Hit: 5% chance to proc something" does that mean first you need to roll for Lucky Hit, and *then* you roll again for the 5%?

Revitalized posted:If something says "Lucky Hit: 5% chance to proc something" I believe sorcerers (and necros?) are supposed to have a build around stacking lucky hit, but I haven't had a chance to play around with that yet - so for anything other than that/those builds, you want to avoid it. Overpower and fortify works the same way - they're things that specific classes build around (although in the case of overpower and fortify, they also have some synergies).
