I知 going item guides/build guides free as a casual elder millennial gamer and having fun with barb. But I wonder if anyone has a quick idea how I can optimize or declutter my current build of Flurry or lunge WW Taunt Leap Chains Iron maelstrom Really just getting rage, getting bad bois into a pile and spinning to win. I feel single target weak and I知 not sure I need chains, leap with the quake imprint is fun though. I wrote all this but I feel like maybe I値l just check a guide,

It's cool how this thread has helltides when the imp zone probations run out, but instead of getting a cool axe you're rewarded with nothing.

If you want to being a super optimized robot, then you can gear up so that you get most of your rage from whirlwind, dump all damage skills except WW and get all the shouts/Wrath of the Berserker/Iron Skin.

Hoshi posted:Is the loot from pvp areas pvp-specific? I don't think so, but also helltides are different from pvp areas. They're pve areas with a time limit. quote:I知 looking to break into wt4! Got into wt3 at like level 43 with no real gear considerations so this feels like a big step up This was clarified later, but yeah 59 is kind of low for a level 73 dungeon. If you haven't been upgrading or adding aspects then you're probably at a place where you'll get slaughtered in there. You don't need a mountain of paragon or super minmaxed gear but they kind of require you to at least have some upgraded legendary gear.

SettingSun posted:Bloodmarked or not, anyone else who did bloodmark can take you out. How often this might happen to you heavily depends on the instance you're currently in and whether or not there are any bullies in there. I've had nice empty instances and also hilarious bloodbaths where the second you start purification a 4 man death squad swoops in to kill you. The good part, though, is that all you lose are your blood shards. Any gear you've ground up murdering monsters is still yours. As an added bonus, there are frequently whispers objectives in there and some of them are pretty high value. There's a roaming boss that's pretty easy to solo that's worth 5, for example. Whispers aren't amazing but as a passive add-on they are pretty sweet. edit: I think there's usually one for extracting that is also worth like 2 or 3 whispers. If you kill that boss then hit an extract with whatever shards you've got you can get pretty close to filling your whispers quota, all for about five minutes of effort. And if you get ganked whatever, slap some random mobs around until you get 30 shards and get the extract with that, your five minutes of effort turned into ten.

new df video with some demonstrations and suggestions for turning down graphics to improve performance. turning down ssao from max to med is the simplest one (12% difference) because of how dark the game is. textures on high too screenspace reflections also take down performance a bunch, which probably isn't necessary unless you're running around a lot of water and shiny metal. more interstingly, most settings don't seem to have any performance impact, which makes it curious that there's a setting there in the first place? also proves what we already know which is that the vram usage is pretty abnormal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rl6sFoeOSU

hit like 63 on my necro, got a few wt4 items but pretty burned out on that grind. thoughts on other classes I've gotten to around 20: - hammer of the ancients barb is super fun, just yelling and smashing poo poo is great - upheaval barb is good aoe damage, it feels weird though since you have to move a little bit to get everyone in your frontal cone and there's a weird delay windup on the attack. still getting used to it, think I like hammer better. - what's up with the slow rear end whirlwind animation - chain lightning sorc is fun, not a big fan of getting up close with arc lash but with ice armor and frost nova I guess it's fine - bear and wolf druid feel slow and clunky, earth druid rules however except that you need those 2 aspects that are drop only - melee rogue is super fun but not sure I have enough coffee to maintain that lifestyle

Doomykins posted:Alright figured out the cheesiest multi-hits from this Lightning Sorc build. you're better off swapping arc lash enchant for fireball enchant, it makes groups a critical mass of which stunned minion explodes first which triggers the rest with a stun damage amped fireball explosion. Essentially you have enough stun with CL/Spear passively on their own to not need it. One issue with a stun build with CL is CL's damage is fairly anemic if things aren't stunned, so the popping effect of fireball helps out. On bosses, typically its a mid-pace until it gets posture broke and then with the massive +stun damage you can pop unstable and empty out their bar before they recover Sloober fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Jun 16, 2023 |

Figured out my issue with town portals in groups. I'm playing crossplay with a buddy, he's on PS5 and I'm PC. Something with his privacy settings is making it so he appears offline. He can send me invites and we can group, but I can't see him in the social tab to do the same. When we group together, he doesn't generate a town portal at all and we have to use way points and walk the rest of the way to group up. Very weird. That was the first group I'd ever done, so I assumed the game just had no TP-to-party functionality. Every other group since has worked fine.

Slowly farming ancestral gear for the first upgrades I致e made since like level 45 and I知 about to make a txt document to sort out which aspects I want to include on which pieces of gear. Itemization has been really engaging for me personally, and each aspect seems important to really get the most out of your stuff.

Nothing is more important than level 15+ (ideally you want level 21) on each Glyph you will use. The bonuses for an expanded radius is insane

I enjoy the Arc Enchant stun a lot because it procs building(or delivering) crits, it leaves them weakened after the stun for my own passive DR, every lightning stun I do has a damage spike attached to it that hits decently for a passive proc and I've got four CDs that are activating the arc Enchant constantly. The soft control of multiple interruptions and short stuns feels great too, especially for jerks like Revenants. I'm not sure I actually have that much yet that applies extra damage to the stunned, maybe a +30% from equipment passives.

Turns out the vram in my 2080 was getting loving hammered (1440). Turning texture quality down to high eliminated it with basically no impact on how it looks.

The soft control of multiple interruptions and short stuns feels great too, especially for jerks like Revenants. there's two aspects that are just stun damage that can net you around +100%, one that's a chance for stun on distant enemies and +40-80% damage to stunned when its on a staff, and another that's just +20-40% on crowd controlled. The paragon boards are also mostly just +stun on rare nodes along with a smattering of +damage on elites. Actual raw damage isn't very common outside of the starting board and the enchant board. I think the primary issue with the .5s stun is the amount of elites that go unstoppable after a stun as compared to like a 2 second out of spear or w/e Sloober fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Jun 16, 2023 |

What's the deal with steel grasp, you can throw this poo poo into a crowd and sometimes it will pull 10 mobs, sometimes it pulls 0. Do mobs have pull resistance or something? This poo poo is unreliable as hell.

Tiny Timbs posted:Yeah that's pretty bad tbqh Wrong! Not being able to do the second capstone at 59 is totally normal. It's 1-shot city unless you've built very defensively due to the damage scaling with a 13 level difference. "Get better items" may not even be useful advice here, you might be better off finishing renown for +20 paragon points, or simply getting 3-4 levels and trying again, you'll take wayyy less damage. Also as mentioned, don't forget to pop a defensive elixir. I also recommend putting these D4 forums quality posters on mute, the thread is way more readable when you can scroll past the 4 back-to-back shitposts calling people stupid/bad/single image responses.
