When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

a cash shop to just buy things in a game series that is all about finding rare things through playing is just incredibly pathetic

I got a ring that gives me 2 fury when I Crowd Control an enemy.

- My Thorns hits cause Bleeding, and Hamstring makes my Bleeding procs Slow the enemy. Does that Slow count?

- Can it trigger each time the Thorns hit (i.e. does it count as reapplying the Slow?), or do I need to wait for the Bleed to end.l?

- Is there a hidden cooldown? When I taunt the whole screen that's supposed to be a form of CC but I don't see a fury spike from it.

- If an enemy current has Slow on it and I do some additional CC like Knockback will it count those too?

My friend who plays PoE with me told me early on "use the Tree of Whispers, it's the closest to a PoE hideout you're gonna get" with regards to the compactness of it.

Most of the rogue effects are each time you give an enemy the status, so id imagine the moment you apply one of those things listed as crowd control, you get 2 fury per enemy until they are not crowd controlled

I am also not a barb player, not tested, just speculating since it's a whole pool

So I do not at all have proper gear for an ice shards sorc. I'm level 59, and just tooling around with rando leggos, but surprisingly switching from fireball enchant to firebolt, and allocating points to increased crit damage to burning enemies has made a very noticeable improvement. I'm only at 17% crit chance and so thought it wouldn't be enough, but because ice shards bounces 5 times it seems to be working. I haven't noticed any issues with AOE clearing, and am finding bosses / elites easier to take down, even if I still spend some time running around waiting for frost nova CD.

Ice shards just does more damage than anything else. It’s fun but i want ball lightning to be fun too

I thought chain lightning and stunning everything was pretty strong too. Ball lightning needs a lot of help though for sure.

D4 would have a solid chance if it stayed in the oven until 2024. Zelda has that on lock, totk is an Imperius-damned masterpiece.

Why are people arguing about whether the pleasant arpg is sufficiently socialist

I’m having a blast with gear that adds damage when targets frozen. Give ‘‘em the old ice blast thing and a lash and kaboom everything dies instantly. AndAriel died like a chump. I wish I’d done that barbarianguy solo a few days ago , as I had my higher level friend with me run in circles sucking damage while I attacked and whittled him down

Honestly I can’t think of any ARPG that was really good without at least one expansion under its belt. D2, maybe, except even then the rebalancing after LoD is what really made it what it is.

As far as the first couple weeks go it’s so far ahead of D3 it’s not even funny. Grim Dawn, which I liked a lot, was loving dismal before the first expansion.

There’s no reason imo to call D4 half-baked or whatever because it has plenty of content and is mechanically really solid, and why bother having insane super end game content when no one is there yet anyway?

I wish almost every skill had a corresponding unique item. I keep getting things that sound fun to use, except either the skill is kind of bad, or just isn’t in my build.

There’s no firewall unique, but there IS one that makes fireball skip twice or something. But it only procs if you cast it.

I do really enjoy the aspect that sends down a hail of baby meteors that burn every time you proc meteor, combined with another one that makes meteors render enemies immobile. Using meteor and fireball in the enchantment spots let’s me just spew fire everywhere by casting hydra and firewall. Firewall has a .3% change to proc a meteor with every tic, and then if you stack lucky hit % it can get pretty good.

I’m able to clear dungeons 7 levels over my current one (62 WT3) My big vulnerability is mobility, but I only use about 1-2 revives on a particular bad run. Mostly I panic and open the map instead of using a potion lol.

Games fun. I want the witch doctor back.

i feel like this is broken or otherwise not working right, because i have a similar build and a similar idea with that ring/aspect and i didn't notice my fury increasing much if at all even in huge mobs of enemies. i wonder if it only applies to attacks you make.

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

couple of questions I couldn't easily find answered on reddit. I'm leveling with Sever and blighted corpse explosion

- Is there a cap on how many blighted corpse explosion pools will stack damage on one enemy?
- Are there any tricks to helping minions stay alive? i notice you can't spam corpses to heal. I'm assuming it's because the heal is an unstackable buff? The build I'm aiming for uses cold mages and sacrifices the normal skellies and golem. I'm hoping it's easier to keep just mages alive.
