Wheeee posted:there's kind of a ridiculous number of affixes on gear combined with stats not rolling based on class Stats roll based on class, try again Which makes collecting a great set of gear harder and easier depending on class because some have a much bigger pool of possibilities

I'm leveling sorc as lightning and picking up what items I see with lucky hit, grabbed the +15% passive for lucky hit, got an aspect that's +20% lucky hit when any barrier is up. Key passive for crackling energy reduces cooldowns. Getting Unstable Currents going twice a minute(and an aspect for 17% chance of double spells under it) and all the shock passives for stacking crit chance, stun on crit, free crackling, etc has been fun as hell. Pop currents, machine gun sparks and see dozens of spell casts filling the screen, chain lightning to mana dump. Ice Armor, Lightning Spear, Hydra. The spear gets pretty stunny at times, Ice Armor is smooth for early survival, might change Hydra out but like the multi-hit theme and all. Enchant is CL(free CL every 3 casts) and I guess Charged Bolts for now(free bolts 40% of stuns.) I'm hoping to take this higher and it's pretty fun to see crowds perma stunned and zapped to death by a thousand sparks. Sure survival will get harder and something something arc lightning meta but hey this is what's fun to me, take some goofy looking niche looking build and try to hammer it as high as I can. I'd laugh if this was a new meta build or something but honestly when your skill tree has like 20 parts at most and most of them operate independently of each other how many winning combos are there? And I was using Ball Lightning for a long time, tried CL and my kill speed in all situations tripled. The meta will really define itself when experimentation yields results like that.

Revitalized posted:The feeling of chasing a treasure goblin and then proccing Execute is one of the most satisfying feelings that you never really expect. The realization that a trail of gold you see was a treasure goblin that was activated by another player or something while you were faffing about in the menus is one of the most heartbreaking.

Good game and has a bright future. However, I do hate hitting mobs with my spirit generator for 300 damage.

Key passive for crackling energy reduces cooldowns. running a similar build but no hydra only really hitting survivability rn mid 60s but thats just because sometimes i kinda fall asleep at a wheel so a skeleton archer or poison pool will catch me slipping every now and then and nuke like 2/3rd my health. Just now really diving into paragon board stuff though so I think I'll be fine

Arc lash build sounds stupid on paper but once its built and you have a ton of attack speed you’re basically whipping things at light speed while everything around you explodes

I'm afraid to ask, but let's say there's a unique that defines my build... do I just have to hope it drops, and there's no guarantee it ever will, and no way to trade them?JollyBoyJohn posted:Enjoying my necro but the screen gets awfully busy with all these skeletons etc, gonna try the other classes and probably go with the least visually intensive one lol Yeah I gave up Necro at level 50 because minions are way undertuned and it was a nightmare for my bf to party with me and deal with 10 minions plus all the ninja smoke bomb corpse explosions. Rerolled as Thorns Barb and it's been 100% fine for leveling and beating campaign, very clutter-free. Plus with 3 shouts and the Berserk ultimate, and the movespeed passives I can traverse the map about as fast as my Horse. No idea why some roided out gym bro is the best endurance runner in D4.

And I was using Ball Lightning for a long time, tried CL and my kill speed in all situations tripled. The meta will really define itself when experimentation yields results like that. I think I found an aspect in my inventory (might have been on a unique) that also gave a free currents cast chance on bolts, which only struck me as funny because it was sitting right next to one that gave free bolts on current, which seemed like it'd combine with talents and a few other aspects to be a wrecking ball. Whether or not that helps with single target I have nfi and without sets gearing up to a new build is hell, so it'll forever remain theoretical on my side. Re: Lucky Hit in general - this is gonna take a huge nerf as more people push up to 70 and start getting like 50%+ lucky hit boost. I'm a convert from the normal builds I see (use Nova for vulnerable, CDR is everything, etc) for shards and have gone down the Vulnerable+Freeze chance on cold path for pure ice shards with nova being more of a defensive thing. It's not great as I'm only 60 and haven't stacked as much LH% as I should have, but each upgrade just makes it more and more ridiculous. As a bonus, unlike with nova, the enemies don't pre-empt the frozen status instantly with melee stuns so you spend more time damaging and don't have to forfeit two seconds every time you freeze. LH% sustains mana, barrier (which is more LH), damage, crit for more damage, cc, vulnerability, and aoe just pressing one drat button. It is still super dumb that you suffer for hundreds of hours of game time for a build to come online and knowing it'll probably be nerfed soon ain't a great feeling.

Necro is the only class with a shield so IMO it is acceptable to build a necro as essentially a dark paladin and sacrifice your minions to do so.

I got bored of NM dungeons after doing them for two days straight. Rolled a new character and the fun train is back. Definitely not for everyone, and it'll get better as the game grows, like any other ARPG ever.

claim: it takes 100 hours of nightmare dungeons to make a good build reality: a good build starts curving power so rapidly you run dungeons 20+ levels higher than you
