I suspect the clan limits is a concessions to your regular joe who just joins whatever clan first pops up in the clan finder too, as smaller clans means a more manageable clan chat and a smaller audience for some weird unit who wants to use his clan as a captive audience for rants about the merits of a traditional household based on the values of Jordan Peterson and Ted Kaczynski.

American McGay posted:There’s eventually an aspect that causes the same effect only way more powerful and way more often. It triggers on crit and stacks infinitely so fighting a couple random mobs will queue up like 4 minutes of charged atmosphere that strikes for 5k damage every couple seconds. I had been using the passive because of the things you said, and just how cool it looked, and was excited to find the aspect version instead. Drop only or in the codex? I need this.

DarkDobe posted:pretty sure because you can never go over the 3% chance - but there are only certain skills that can proc it? I tried to push overpower as far as I could take it on barbarian, there are only two ways to trigger a guaranteed overpower - Combat Bash, 4 crits with bash with a two hander, or Earthstriker's Aspect, swap weapons ten times to guarantee a 50/100% damage boosted overpower Consequently the only way to do more overpowers in a given timespan was to take a) attack speed and b) crit, which I did was it successful? big shrug https://streamable.com/pknecb (honestly it's wound up being a deathblow build more than anything else, spamming endless deathblows at warp speed is extremely cathartic)

I do think a barbie overpower build sounds fun, but I'm not sure there's enough ingredients to motivate me yet. Hopefully something I can aim for in S1.

I wouldn't recommend it until they patch Earthstriker's, it's bugged right now and sometimes just doesn't trigger, which extremely sucks rear end Combat Bash requiring a 2h mace is a real kick in the teeth too because it fucks with the walking arsenal setup, or demands you run all 2H mace and skip earthstriker, which intuitively sounds like it should be correct for overpower (big smashy smashy right?) but ime, the 2h build is fine, but the walking arsenal version using earthstrikers feels better, as you can use both combat bash and earthstrikers - though using dual wield on deathblow feels bad and wrong though, I want to deathblow with a gigantic loving hammer I haven't sat down to crunch the numbers, they might be comparable, and there are other benefits to going one way or the other due to paragon board glyph availability and aspect requirements etc it's been a fun jaunt though, upheaval with all the stun related stuff is extremely strong, and in lower tier content (like nightmares +5-15 instead of 20+ like in that clip I posted) it destroys and it's very fun to play would it be better dumping all the overpower poo poo and just putting those points into raw damage aspects and paragon? probably, but this is S0, the time for loving with experimental builds, so I'm doing that instead of running 3-shouts-and-a-spender or whatever

Temerity pants are a real game changer for rogue. Gives you a barrier that synergizes real well with the +healing per second per close enemy and +healing per second per momentum stack and close critical = life regen skill. I don't think flurry vs twisting blades even matters when you're invincible while swinging, as long as you use the multiple unstoppable options

Temerity is such a trap and I wouldn't ever dream of using them past level 60~ and even then, you've probably found a pair of sacred pants that more than doubles your EHP if you'd just use them. The pants slot is just way too valuable for survival to give up.

a lot of uniques have that problem, weapons are especially bad because you're giving up potentially critical offensive aspects that makes 'cool but not mechanically strong enough' unique weapons really  because the effects are often cool as poo poo, but you're nerfing yourself by using them which feels really bad(it's me, the sad barbarian who wanted to use the cool flaming upheaval mace) (overkill however loving rocks and has some sick interactions I expect to see on a pogface video at some point in the next month if any content creator ever tests something not hota/ww)

The pants slot is just way too valuable for survival to give up. Yeah, I had been wanting one because I've seen people doing druid pulverize builds where you use the barrier to help protect your fortify+healthy status while leaning hard into overpower and +dmg while healthy. By the time I finally got one at like 82, I had pants with 4 defensive stats plus the aspect that gives you stacking bonus armor up to +50%. Doesn't seem like a worthwhile trade anymore.

I guess if you stack big rolls on the other defensive slots you could get more EHP by using Temerity, but a spreadsheet would be necessary A) to see how much % damage reduction you can stack on helm/armor + paragon boards and B) to figure out at what point the tradeoff becomes effective. E: protecting Fortify is relevant to the calculations though.

Rogues don't have barriers any other way so there is also the novelty of stacking barrier on a class that already gets resistances and dodge through skills and other aspects you can put on not-pants. I'm sure it's a lot less interesting on a class that can give themselves barrier with a skill.

bus hustler posted:At level 52 it sucks to spend 20-30 minutes in a Helltide and have that time wasted, that's just really unfriendly design. Dying to an off screen one shot or a lag spike & losing 50% progress, knowing you don't have enough time to make it up? That sucks and is really discouraging. There shouldn't be a mechanic in a modern game where 20-30 minutes gets you nothing. what? do you lose cinders or something

The problem with temerity is it wont help you at all in difficult content, but you don't really need it in easy content either. It fits in this weird spot where its good for players just breaking into the mid-game which would be farming in t4 but before you start doing nm dungeons above like 30

To people struggling with the difficulty on Tier II: - Sorcerer is basically EZ mode. - Playing melee is much harder than playing ranged. You're going to have to scoot out of the way of bruiser monsters A LOT, and several bosses feel outright unfair. - It's far more important to have multiple abilities than it has to have one or two 5/5'd - Early on, the game feels much more skill-based, but when your build comes together stuff just dies or deals 0 damage. YMMV

i hopped over to wt4 at around lvl 62 and everything kicks my rear end again, my damage is fine but everything is over 10 levels higher than me and elites often one shot me if all my cooldowns aren't up. helltides are surprisingly brutal and pretty fun. loot drops are worth picking up again, there's a lot more elites and the xp gain feels pretty nice. the whole game should have been like this, possibly minus the overleveled one-shotting enemies

For my Bone Spear build I switched my 2h sword for a 1h/shield to get another aspect and add survivability, and it mostly has but god drat the damage I'm dealing takes a huge hit. I'm not sure if the extra survivability is even worth it at this point because I'm killing stuff so much slower now that I usually have to dance around a bit to stay alive while generating essence anyway.

If you aren't doing high level nm dungeons you should not swap from a 2h for more toughness. There is definitely something else you can do to beef up.

Because that's about where I'm at now. I probably will go back to the 2 hander once I find a better one either way though the damage is just nowhere near the same anymore.
