I like that yellow items arent totally useless in this - I mean 99% of them I still sell/salvage but in the last day I've had some pretty sweet finds including a really well rolled 2 Hand Mace with 814 Ilvl and great stats....Buffed it all up and now sitting around 9k unbuffed Attack power, 15k once I start hitting poo poo, mmm bigger numbers

i only use two shouts (dont use warcry) and at 70 im totally fine in WT4

get more defensive aspects and enchants. helm, pants, armor should have total armor %, maybe amulet too. get disobedience and maybe the 20% on basic attacks one too

i have 7120 armor and 35% from the aspect, and if im gonna do something especially hard i'll pop a 200 or 400 armor pot

edit: this is on HC, so im both more careful than on SC and (obviously) i havent died yet

Yeah, this is the problem. The point of the build is to pop all shouts and spin to win, with no basic attacks. I’m looking for better defensive gear, which ironically needs better offense to farm.

Ok. Finished campaign way over leveled from loving around in multiplayer (lv51 at finish)

Just finished the capstone and bumped to WT3

What should my priorities be from here?

Doing Helltides and whispers, especially Helltides, will set you up pretty well to bump in to WT4. You need a bunch of materials only found in helltides to do crafting stuff, so it's good to stock up on em early.

Looking through the stats on every ancestral yellow gets old fast though. In D2 (with some narrow exceptions) and D3 you can stop picking up rares eventually, and town trips become much less common. D4 I have to comb through my inventory every dungeon or two.

Would desperately like a "highlight gear with the following stats *list of checkboxes*" and maybe a number on the gear to show how many matches. Maybe make one that has 4/4 have rainbow sparkles on it or some poo poo.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
I think I'm missing something about codex aspects. I'm trying to imprint a codex aspect onto an ancestral item, and two surprising things happen:

  1. the cost was elevated like 5-6x
  2. the roll is even below the bottom of the range it shows

I assume that codex aspects count as normal since this happens with normal aspects from the inventory, but is there any way to change this or are Codex aspects just not really useful on higher level items?

try doing legion events and maybe world boss events if you need loot carries. legion events especially good, just stay alive and let everyone else delete stuff

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I was really enjoying the buffs to nature’s fury druid, but while waiting for the sacred aspects that make it better I ended up getting some really good drops and some near max-roll aspects for a trampleslide and pulverize druid. So I basically rebuilt my character from the ground up and boy is it fun filling the screen with double landslides.

1. Modifying an item in any way is more expensive the higher the ilvl of the item.
2. I think this is a bug.

I tried Nature’s Fury because I got a max roll cooldown reduction aspect but it didn’t seem to actually be working. My hurricane cooldown never went down as I killed hundreds of mobs. So I went back to Perfect Storm. :shrug:

It's actually worse than that, since ilvl 700+ sacreds exist and can be basically bis items for some slots. So you should be looking at them, too! And there are ancestrals that are lower than 700 (and therefore garbage in the late game) but you need to look at them to know that.

The fact that D4 doesn't have a loot filter is an embarrassment. Last Epoch has an amazing loot filter, and D4 makes more money every millisecond than that game will bring in over its entire life.

They should at the very least change it so everything ilvl 700+ is labelled ancestral (and nothing lower than ilvl 700 is).

Level 28 Necro having issue at the Icy Goat Men Stronghold with the boss Goatman. My minions die quite nicely, I try to run around as best as I can until my golem resurrects then as it sheds skin try to raise skellies, shoot blight, bonestorm, curse, etc. but keep getting killed. Any other tips?

Looks good. I just hit 100 so I'm gonna work on gear and glyphs before any 75+ tier or lillith attempts. Finished leveling with curses, but I wanna try out the flesh-eater legendary aspect for a bit now that they've fixed the BCE visual bug.

Have you considered the Might aspect over Disobedience. I think it may be better for a Spear/Snipe build as it is tough to keep the stacks up. It feels "win more" when the majority of the time my stacks are high are when I have bone storm active or when i'm multi-hitting them after tendrils pull.

A better question for the thread.

How do I determine how many stacks of Disobedience needed to meet or beat the 20% DR from Might.

@6.5k Armor I have 49% less physical damage from equal lvl enemies. Is it known how much higher lvl enemies will reduce this #?

I use aspect of might in my pushing build on a shield. The vid I posted is a farming build so I do end up in melee range a lot more if I am speed farming 50s or doing helltide.

What do your skills and book of the dead look like?

I haven’t really have an issue with minions dying in my first WT1 run. Currently nearing the end of the campaign at lvl 49, and bosses are a pushover. The 5 second delay on the big skeleton priest heal means its worth using before they take damage, cause once they’re near death, it’s too late.

Curse, tendrils, and corpse explosion helps a ton as well. The new curse aggro change is more impactful than I expected.

Even still, I’m getting kind of bored of it though, not sure whether to try another class or re-spec. on the other hand, I don’t love the build-spend cycle pretty much every other build/class seems to use. I don’t really remember D2 being like that, but its been a minute.

Helltides are always nice to do for the crafting mats but if you're set on those then no, not really.

D2 has mana potions so everyone is just chugging blue nonstop to spam abilities, there are no builders.

e: there was also mana steal so every melee character had infinite mana with a single source of mana steal

e2: I think the dirty secret of resource-based abilities in ARPGs is that part of building your character is figuring out how to passively sustain your resource pool. It's not a "weakness" in the builder-spender system that everyone is trying to circumvent using the builder, that's the end goal. They just need to make builders do something else interesting to make the build-spend rhythm more satisfying. Combo for rogue is a good example.

Has anyone ever seen the exposed flesh aspect drop for necromancer? The one that gives lucky hit for essence regen on vulnerable enemies. Im not convinced it’s real. I’m level 80 now and have never seen one drop. Spent probably 4-5000 obols on rings looking for it. Would be a real game changer for my build too.

I have seen it either once or twice and I am level 100. It is extremely powerful, along with the Umbral aspect.

Extremely rare. I've only seen one on my 92 HC Necro and I too have been spamming obols into rings looking for more since the one I got rolled low. I guess the difference between 30 and 50 essence isn't huge when you're dealing with a pool of ~200 so it's not a big deal but still...

pvp is actually harmless. they've promised they won't be making balance decisions around it and clearly haven't yet, as evidenced by the fact that CC immune barbarians can walk at 170% move speed and 1 hit any player in the game with HoTA. it might be a net social good because the people that engage with it are better off at home instead of of wandering the streets unmonitored
