Just letting everyone know I beat the last boss on WT2 solo, blind first attempt, 4 levels below them with poo poo gear, because I'm a True Gamer and this is a baby game.

So I looted items from the last boss, then Barbarian said "I can't lift this" when my inventory was full, which was a very un-Barbarian thing to say and reminded me to go to the gym.

I came back home from gym and the game not only logged me out for inactivity, but it completely forgot I did the quest and wants me to run it all over again, same cutscenes and everything lol

Moral of the story is don't exercise, only poopsock

I just got it to drop off a T6 Nightmare dungeon

It's pretty fun

I'm hoping it gets added later but drat I miss the excitement of seeing those neon green set drops.

Game is fun, but I wish dungeons had more depth instead of just 7-10 mins then riding to a new one. I liked the idea of just playing a dungeon with dozens of levels til you die or a timer runs out or whatever. Honestly do miss the grift system

As for the uniques, the drop rate has been decent, I'm 74 and have about 10 or so, 4 have been relevant to my build (two were upgrades) so important uniques don't feel impossible to get except the insane ones like harlequin crest or whatever. I haven't looked up what uniques are all in the game bc it's fun to be surprised but there are some that are ultra ultra rare and super OP

Leveling after 70 has definitely been a chore especially with the dungeon nerfs. But upgrades still come along sometimes, just wish the leveling wall had been a bit smoother but I get it.

Is there any reason whatsoever in running NM dungeons over three levels from your level? I was kinda disappointed that NM dungeons didn't give extra XP

This NM dungeon did get me a lvl 5 key so that’s nice.

I found a couple uniques on my Necro but I'm almost 55 on my rogue and I've been in WT3 for like 10 levels and he has found 0.

I'm starting to think he's bugged or something

this is fine



My no-good, very bad bug that almost killed me in hardcore:

Joined a couple of people T1. Started split farming whispers. Start running towards a dungeon. Suddenly, I notice the dungeon is level 53. We are now in T3. I am level 20. I have never done the capstone. What?? I am not in a safe area. I do not have Scroll of Escape.

Thankfully I was full defense build sorc so I was able to kite and leash until the lvl 53 in the party ported to me and saved my rear end.

Other weird poo poo:
  • My mount wasn't working. It would animate, but the horse would run away instantly.
  • TP wasn't working
  • Running to Kyov, I was able to enter the safe zone on the bridge but not the town itself
  • At this point, my allies disappeared to me and I disappeared to them. See their dots on the minimap?



Before all that, we confirmed that I could still get XP from overworld content, but I wasn't going to risk it. Fuckin weird. Happened again after I left and rejoined, but we were more careful that time.

You do get more XP, the base amount you get from monsters scales with their level. There is a multiplier to XP that caps out at 1.25x for enemies 3 levels above you. Doesn't mean you shouldn't push for higher than that, it more means you should always be shooting for 3 levels above you at minimum.

Glyph XP is the main reason you're doing nm dungeons instead of grinding anything else and it increases the higher the tier so yeah, do the highest tier you aren't actively struggling with is the plan I think?

I'm still melting everything on the highest sigils I can find so that's been my plan anyways

I did that, then just beelined the storyline without stopping. I ended at ~42 which was (with my bad gear) not really capable, then ground up to 47 and got some better stuff to win. The important parts are you want to beat the campaign to get into WT3 for the first big gear upgrade AND you want to do it as close to (if not before) dinging 50. People who paid for extra access had a few days of completely broken builds, but for the most part everyone has been playing for a week and the 1-50 journey through the storyline is fast.

Note that none of this matters and we all reset for season one in a few weeks, so do whatever floats your boat.

Currently, the direct rewards you get from doing them (adding 2 stat points or obol storage) is permanent on your account, shared between all characters, and across seasons but the ability to unlock them and the renown they give do not, as they currently don't across characters. This lets each character have the entire "renown checklist" available to play through as "a thing to do" but since the only important bit of renown rewards is the skill/paragon points, you can freely ignore them. Those account-level reward from renown (skill points, paragon points, etc) which currently does carry across characters may possibly not be given in seasons, but this is up in the air. It's believed on Friday we'll get more information about this, since people have quite loudly exclaimed how much they hate uncovering the map and doing renown poopy work each season and this Friday we're getting Blizzard's first fireside chat in which they apparently have something to announce about this.

tl;dr the direct rewards from statues will carry over, do them. The renown rewards that include statue gathering, dungeons, and side quests are unknown, so maybe don't poopsock those.

Someone upthread posted a tweet from a Blizz person replying to someone saying gathering statues every season is bad with "watch Friday" so I'm expecting them to talk about it.

It might be worth mentioning that the news about the fake tweet questions wasn't actually Blizzard's fault, it was the fault of an empty website pretending they had readers making up the questions and sending them to Blizz.

Not that this still won't be full of softballs and handwringing but they are supposed to talk about possibly changing their previous plans regarding redoing renown each season.

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
The stupid thing is that, in a class with a ton of half dead core and mastery skills, the devs made a basic skill:
  • deal core-level damage
  • as an AoE (melee should be a penalty, except most sorc builds are melee)
  • having a double cooldown reduction synergy (in a class that is all about CDs)
  • having a cumulative value on crits (which is already one of the strongest dmg multiplier)
  • inflict stun
  • being able to proc the strongest ulti in the class.

I got a windforce and I made a half decent build for it. basically penetrating shot + freeze caltrops and shadow imbue. it was really good at killing packs and fairly "safe" because of the aspect that freezes on direct damage on trapped mobs but it was bad at single target.

tried a modified wudjo rapid fire build which kind of has the opposite problem (good at single target but bad at packs.)

also rapid fire's sound effect is nowhere as satisfying as penetrating shot.

also, respeccing when you get a cool unique is a real pain in the arse
