Away all Goats posted:Got a notification saying the Blizzard Authenticator is moving to the Battle.net app. Ok fine, cool. Of course you need to authenticate yourself to change your account settings. Honestly how do you imagine it could work otherwise? Any random with your password could change your authenticator would completely defeat the entire point of having an authenticator in the first place.

Hopefully by battlepass 10 or so I can unlock the spider-gwen skin and have an inflatable unicorn instead of a horse.

kumba posted:I don't know it's really a problem that needs fixing? A casual player can still do whatever the S1 content is, just a few months behind once it's merged into Eternal That's kind of how it works in PoE. The hyper-casual people who don't want to play during leagues for whatever reason can have fun with their characters in standard (aka eternal realm in D4 terms). Although there are a lot of league mechanics that either don't go core, or only go core after the league is over, so they have to wait. If you want to play with the new shiny toys, you create a league character. Honestly I get the complaints from people who haven't experienced leagues/seasons for themselves in arpg before, but if done well it's a lot of fun. And I'm the first person who is critical of doing things just because "that's how it's always been done." Really the biggest pain point is the renown grind, and I think that's something they'll have basically gotten rid of entirely by S2 or S3 at the latest. AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:What is a Battlepass, anyway? is that something I buy to get ways to make playing a season more fun? It's an instrument of FOMO designed to get you logging in daily/weekly to get experience to unlock levels of it, which usually give you cosmetic rewards (that you can't get again once it ends). There's a f2p version (which does have boosts I think, but everyone can access it) as well as a paid, cosmetics-only premium version. Depending on how it's designed it will probably have you interacting with the season in various ways, at least.

Substandard posted:I've been using your build, with some gear and aspect differences because I'm still leveling, but I love it and I'm absolutely mulching dudes in WT4 at lvl 63. If there are other bone spear necros out there, using umbral and/or exposed flesh aspects for essence regen feels a ton better than trying to corpse explode dozens of time. I don't even have umbral slotted right now because I only have 1 and I'm saving it for better ancestral gear and while I have to cast bone splinters sometimes, it still feels pretty good between essence on kill and exposed flesh. You can get a min roll Umbral via the codex, which is probably still worth it. I used a min roll for a long time before upgrading to my current roll, which is 2

Is there a convenient way to see how good your roll is on aspects? Just finished the campaign so it's the first I've had to think about it.

why emeralds in weapons for barb over sapphires? enemies are only sometimes vulnerable, at best, and are always crowd controlled (with one point in hamstring) they otherwise give the same 12% [x] damage bonus

Crowd control adds with most other damage bonuses and in late game you end up with a lot of those. Edit: if you’re below level 60 or so do whatever you want.

It's assumed you're hitting a vulnerable target more often than you're critting it. If you don't have vulnerable then yeah it makes no sense. But not having something that applies vulnerable makes even less sense.

Barbs can basically have 100% uptime on CC, not so much vuln but I could be missing something there. So from my pov, against things that aren't immune to slow you're giving up overall crit damage and to be clear, both gems give crit damage, if emeralds were vuln damage I would not be so confused

So I'm wrong in that crit dmg vs vuln is somehow not additive to the rest of your crit damage % but crit dmg vs. CC is? vvv noted, I should definitely be looking out for that more

My understanding though is that it'd be more consistent in that nothing I am aware of is immune to vulnerable and because vulnerable damage is multiplicative instead of additive you want to stack that poo poo as much as possible anyway.

depends on if i’m doing speed clear stuff or being dumb and trying to push higher level keys as ww/killing bosses. everything dies in the guaranteed vuln window of exploit on mid 60s and less. but everything is also crowd controlled at exactly the same time as they turn vulnerable so you get the damage bonus either way. if something doesn’t die in less than 3 seconds though, why are so many people still suggesting emeralds in weapons? i know you can cheese stupid high level nmds by doing a damage window in the guaranteed exploit with all your buffs up and then run around for 20 seconds to wait to proc exploit again, and in those cases it wouldn’t matter, i’m just trying to see if there’s some other non obvious or broken mechanic that would push people to use emeralds when sapphires appear to be better in every way

oh right so the sapphire would only apply if they got into a stun phase, which i basically never hit as ww. that makes sense too

I made up my own poo poo with double swing, it's fun as gently caress https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/8d3b70he - frenzy goes fast, fast is good - double swing smash and keeps berserk going - yelling is good and breaks cc and gives fortify - leap is good because it's fun, it also turns on berserk - death blow loving owns, it will instakill trash which resets the cooldown to 1 second - chains were fixed in the last patch, inflict vulnerable, kick off berserk, and are great fun. chain + death blow combo is sick take 2 handed sword thing for bleed on everything, take hamstring = everything you touch is slowed also take all fortify, thorns, berserk and bleed aspects, it all plays real nice together You're running around super fast while on fire, yelling around and screaming and everything is exploding https://imgur.com/a/GkGE2aS

Are the grand cache rewards for killing world bosses once per week per boss, or once per week period? They’ve had poo poo drops for me so far either way but just curious.

Bold Robot posted:Are the grand cache rewards for killing world bosses once per week per boss, or once per week period? there’sa unique cache per boss. i swear i’ve gotten them more than once/week/boss but i’m much less sure about that. i’d assume 1/week/boss but i don’t know when/if that ‘week’ has a set reset time or day another potentially dumb barb question: i know that the ‘additional bonus’ isn’t added when you slot something in the technique slot, but the bonus that does get used, does it count for all attacks? i’m specifically looking at 1H mace which says it gives [x]20% damage increase when using two maces. if i got two 1H maces, but manually set my WW to use my 2H bludgeon/slash weapon, do i still gain that benefit? should these benefits show up somewhere in the character sheet i can use to confirm? edit: note that i can log in to check, when something is added to the technique slot, it specifically clarified ‘when using any weapon’ so it would apply in that case harrygomm fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Jun 29, 2023 |

So.. finally unlocked T4. I went into the capstone at around 65 and got one shotted by trash mobs. I didn't know wtf to think about that. I was clearing level 18 NM dungeons fine. Came back at 67 and cleared it all in like 10 minutes.  So now I see there is an item level HIGHER than sacred. Okay, this is cool. I thought I had collected mostly everything I needed. Welp, time to farm again!
