Is there a short video or primer out there that explains resistances and armor? Feels like I keep seeing conflicting info on them.

I actually thought I would never see an armor system more pointlessly over complicated than the one from Grim Dawn but D4 really took the cake.

Alrighty, thanks. They really need to rebalance Whisper rewards. Doing this poo poo on Tier IV and getting worthless rares and little else. I have yet to see an ancestral piece drop from those caches. Even the sacreds are lovely. Like 100+ "item power" nonsense lower than crap I find in the world.

I’m pretty sure the proportion of normal/sacred/ancestral is altered by your level in addition to being limited by difficulty yeah.

Tiny Timbs posted:I one-shot nearly everything in WT3 now but I'm still not good enough to do WT4 Balance once you get beyond WT3 into Torment is just....not great in general. If you're not playing a meta build then you're going to have a rough time, particularly as you get into the mid 60's and 70's. It feels a little like they're so worried about power creep getting to D3 levels that everything ends up feeling underpowered. If I'm being honest I wish we could get past a fixation on things being "balanced" in games like this (which feels like an excuse to incline the treadmill to keep engagement up) and just lean into poo poo being fun. That's when D3 got good, and I engaged with that game plenty over the years!

I was absolutely not playing a meta build either with my sorc or currently with my rogue and I have not noticed that at all. Some skills are definitely better than others, and some definitely suck for sure, but I think there’s good odds you have to optimize your gear and supporting skills better.

I'm only level 56 and haven't seen a single ancestral item. Did get the bone spear unique helmet though so switched over to that which is kind of super good despite not having the stuff that makes it absurd I think. Right now my only real beef is that the ilvl range of the gear I'm getting is really wide, even within sacred stuff, so I get a lot of garbage that's not very good. Still a fun game though. Just kind of grinding through renown stuff a small bit at a time. Scosglen is kind of huge.

Definitely doesn't feel like 20% max life per hit. Also as someone who literally has a cognitive disability this thread has been a great read. Love to know that a bunch of folks basically think I'm subhuman because I might want to look at a build guide to help figure out video game maths sometimes.

im not at wt4 yet so i might change my mind but whatever it winds up being like i cant imagine it being worse than in d2 where you spend the first two tiers running a single damage type and then have to respec to a dual damage type for the final tier and even then theres just some areas you cant farm

It's probably one of the enemy affixes that'll get looked at in a future patch I also have a cognitive disability, to me it's pretty clear nobody's saying you're a subhuman for using guides, the criticism and mockery seems pretty laser-focused on people who trying to hyper-optimize based on what popular streamers say or are running the "most efficient" dungeon over and over and are complaining that they're not having fun.

What factors limit where you can apply an extracted aspect? I extracted something from a ring, and when I look at in my inventory it says the aspect is allowed for various item types including amulets: But I'm trying to apply it to another amulet (also Sacred, if that makes a difference), and I can't select this aspect. I can't select any aspect in my inventory, only my codex. What gives?

Pretty sure ancestrals don't drop until WT4, which you probably haven't hit at 56 (if you have, well then I'm definitely overestimating the difficulty and should go for it next time I play). Otherwise, yeah definitely feeling the ilvl range but that's probably from still doing a wide range of stuff - it feels like helltides and higher tier NM dungeons bias drops towards the higher end of the ilvl range and you're meant to do more of those and less whispers/overworld stuff as you switch from "just ascended from the lower tier, establishing yourself" to "filling in gaps, refining gear and build and glyphs, targeting the capstone and the higher tier"?

What statuses count as "crowd control". I got a unique helmet that adds to lucky hit chance against crowd controlled enemies, but as a flurry rogue I just have poison and vulnerable and I don't know if either of those count or I should keep my barrier helm.

It’s anything that inhibits their movement or actions in some way. Poison and vulnerable don’t do that, but daze, slow, stun, chill, freeze, knock down, those all do.

drat the jump from T1 to T3 as a Rogue is rough - damage feels good still, but I was already feeling fairly squishy and now I feel like I have to be extremely attentive because I can get spiked down fast as hell. Any tips for feeling a little less fragile without having to sacrifice too much DPS? So far I think Barbarian and Druid feel the best to play - really chunky, satisfying skills and pretty durable. Rogue is a lot of fun too, zipping around and just melting people is always a good time, though you definitely have to kinda constantly aware of when your movement skill cooldowns and when its time to burn them. Bone Necro is really strong but not really my preferred way to play, and I haven't even tried Sorc yet.

Granstein posted:Like I said earlier, basically any frost build can work...If it has ice shards. They really need to nerf ice shards and buff basically all the other frost skills. Which is true of...Every element? Firewall seems to be the only fire skill worth using, and arc lash the only lightning skill worth using (Outside of enchantment slots, where there's a bit more variety). That's not to say you can't make some other skills work, but they're all demonstrably weaker for no real reason. I think the issue is just sources of vulnerable damage being multiplicative. They absolutely seem balanced to be additive with other “damage to enemies with condition x” properties. If vulnerability were “just” a multiplicative +20% damage boost that competed in build space with crowd control, it would be strong, but not so clearly dominant. It’s clear vulnerable damage needs to become additive, maybe some classes can get multiplicative “vulnerability effectiveness” on passives/paragon tree/ legendary affixes, and most skills need to have their damage output significantly buffed to compensate.

Any tips for feeling a little less fragile without having to sacrifice too much DPS? What build are you playing? I had the same experience going into t3, but after a few levels, it now feels easier than act 6 and the capstone in t2 as long as I’m not getting cced and spiked down. I used the basic skills give 20% damage reduction aspect and the poisoned enemies do less damage passive. The heal on crit passive is enough for me in terms of sustain, though if you use momentum, there’s a really strong regen aspect that helps a lot there as well.

Any tips for feeling a little less fragile without having to sacrifice too much DPS? Take the passive for reduced damage and lifesteal on crit. There's also the poison passives that reduce damage taken. There's plenty of room to take all the defensive passives plus 80% of the offensive ones. Then get the aspect that reduces damage with basic attack, adds armor when dealing damage, daze when attacking vulnerable, generate barrier when attacking an elite. You have to be careful when starting a fight but then you're basically unkillable once you get going.
