Am I crazy for not using the brand new ancestral ~800ilvl staff with 2/4 good affixes (I could roll to 3/4) because I don't want to give up the shockwave I *just* found for my ~700ish ilvl hammer in spite of the base damage for the staff being way loving better (obviously). I figure I'd just farm another shockwave until I can't take it anymore and continue to to renown grinding in WT4 while I wait. Damage at this point doesn't appear to be a limiting factor. I can kill poo poo just fine. I pretty much only feel threatened by like groups of 5-6 elites. I run out of spirit and can't get an Earthen Might proc so I just have to run away because if I stop to gain spirit I die.

Shredder posted:what are you guys even saving Dunno, I'm keeping a lot of aspects because I'm not set on any build and I feel like a lot of these are build enablers. I was asking for help for minions yesterday, then I said "let's try using the +2 to Bone Spirit on the Blood Artisan armor", then I rerolled into Bone Spirit, everything is much easier with my big boy explosions! One hit many kills.

My stash is full of garbage I fully accept is garbage and tons of dupes but I've been having more fun killing poo poo than staring at rolls when I'm still only in WT3.

Bone spear necro is great so far but those dome shield guys are going to contribute to most of my deaths now, I just know it. You gotta get right in there with them to hit em with the spear and I've already died so many times, haha.

Shredder posted:what are you guys even saving Gems, haven't been picking up in a week. Aspects, I'm saving 1 of each maybe 2 for build enablers. Sigils, I'm capped on sigil dust and have 15 to run in my bags. Potions, I get them faster than they are consumed. Some people like to save pieces of gear that are similar to later decide which is truly better. After a few hours of play it's not uncommon to have 20-30 800" item power items that are 3-4/4 affixes for one of several builds.

Man, this barb is way more fun than my bone spear necro. It kinda sucks that necros just feel like poop compared to D2 and D3. They're just not fun, they're just annoying to play imo. I feel dirty playing anything other than necro in a Diablo game and it sucks.

Thanks to everyone who recommended Flurry the other day, I'm having way more fun with it than Twisting Blades. I imagine Twisting Blades gets more fun at endgame levels with aspects but for just blasting through the campaign I'm having a good time shredding things with poison imbued Flurry

Cyrano4747 posted:They're doing a lot of dancing around the fact that poopsockers exist. Early on they had a great comment along the lines of "the vast majority of our players haven't finished the campaign yet, but we know there are some very . . . . dedicated players who have capped their character already." That's me. I just got the mount and I have to say, its a lot better than running!

I haven't finished the campaign yet but also I just started two days ago Is it weird that I'm level 30 and just finished act 1? I should probably stop doing literally every side dungeon I come across the moment I first see it huh

My ww barb is level 63. I'm doing nightmare dungeons, but I feel real loving squishy any time I'm not using challenging shout. Is this normal?

Harrow posted:I haven't finished the campaign yet but also I just started two days ago The game isn't paced to do all the side content and the campaign before you slam into level 50, so you'll want to do what you feel like, clear the campaign, knock out the little challenge dungeon to go to WT3 and then do everything from there. You can do as much as you like now but XP gain falls off at 50+ in WT2/Campaign.

Is this normal? yeah. gear helps. paragon nodes help, especially glyphs. i can do level ~55 NM dungeons solo atm but when challenging is down i can get one shot by a lot of stuff. legs and chest can get some really beefy defensive rolls on them, once you have fury under control you can also drop a builder from your bars and throw on iron skin. gaining levels helps immensely too. idk i just kinda improved everything over time but if i push Nm keys 3-4 levels too high it starts to fall apart where i can’t kill stuff inside my def buff timers

I'm hoping Blizzard backs down on renown not fully carrying over between seasons. I don't mind having to grab aspects again, but maxing out every region once was enough.

A single bow with +vulnerable damage on it twice and the flurry aspect is about all you need

I finally bit the bullet and swapped to ice sorc and holy poo poo I got a few items still with lightning bonuses but it doesn't matter. Anything frozen ceases to exist in 1 frame, as does everything nearby. I was horribly outleveling my unique staff, so the new one was a 600 sheet-dps increase to say nothing of the vuln/crit/cd. I am tempted to try make Fire work - but ice is just so stupendously good I'd be tormenting myself. As a bonus it doesn't even need any unique to function - and the 2 (I think) drop only aspects aren't even mandatory.

Vashro posted:fireshield, ice nova, teleport as usual. I'm using firewall and inferno and ice shield with enchant on firewall and fireshield b/c on hardcore and too scared to not use it. I'm not into the paragon board yet. You can get more damage if you use meteor enchantment to combo off the firewalls. There's a long video by Kripparrion on youtube about his late game build. This is similar to my build for HC, though I have the fire snake instead of teleport. Why is teleport included in so many builds, does it do something besides teleport? So far I have not really had any close calls at level 43, I really just want to beat the game before I die, I will be annoyed if I lose to the last boss and need to replay the entire story over again. Also, I have not seen The Butcher yet, I think I will fight him if I see him, hopefully I do not die.

It breaks crowd control and there is a unique chest that pulls monsters to you. It also has a huge lucky hit chance, so teleport > frost nova > firewalls and meteors will be flying everywhere.

Teleport breaks crowd control and nightmare dungeons are where you get stunlocked to death E: also turning into a lightning bolt and zipping across the screen is fun and satisfying

The more I think about it, the more I seriously doubt it stays this way past 2-3 seasons. Allowing as much as they're already allowing to carry over shows that they recognize it's a pain point for players, and I have to imagine it's one they'll budge on as people get tired of repeating it. Honestly just having side quests carry over and then having players do strongholds and dungeons naturally as they level for the last bit would be huge.

It'd be cool if random events awarded 5-10 renown or something as well. I think you're right though, if a big chunk of players don't move to seasonal I expect they'll make changes pretty quickly.

One of the guys on the stream today said that it's their intent to gradually scale down how much you have to repeat each season, so now they can just say they're accelerating their existing plan after receiving player feedback
