wuffles posted:I just hope they can do something with the loot system to make it feel like you’re killing monsters for cool armor/weapons as opposed to sifting through the garbage you picked up along the side of the highway for bottles to take back to the store. This was one thing Grim Dawn did that no other game really does… almost every kind of monster and boss has a chance to drop a “monster infrequent” which is a rare that also has special affixes tacked on, or skill bonuses or modifiers. And some MIs are truly build defining, and for stuff that like changes the damage type of a skill they also changed the graphic of that skill to match. It did take them years and years to add in all that stuff and balance it right, MIs at launch were really generic. But it’s a cool way to target loot and still have that slot machine aspect because while MI affixes are completely static, if it appears on a dogshit rare it’s still no good. I guess it is how you put legendary affixes on rares in this game but they come from specific enemy drops so it’s more engaging imo, and there’s no mix and match.

The one that says "kaxman opened a nightmare dungeon(69)" or whatever. Though it's weird sometimes it does disappear before all the text displays and in truth you're usually going to tab open the map before it even fully renders. Regarding ilvl the breakpoints are 625 and 725, I don't think there is another one at 825, but there probably should be, was supposed to be, or will be. Maybe it was intended for world tier 5.

I'm in the low sixties and NM dungeon leveling is getting a little old and upgrades are few and far between. I realize there is a big jump coming with WT4 but man it is dragging for right now. I supposed I could work on renown again but that would mostly involve doing boring easy aspect dungeons. Uniques are kind of weird for me. I think I've had like 7 unique drops (aside from story ones) and of those 2 are the same amulet, 2 are the same pair of pants, and 3 are the same gloves (2 of which I got within a couple minutes of each other, which was really odd). My rogue is pretty fun but I wish there was some sort of ability to make the radius of my traps bigger. With the paragon board it's crazy how much more powerful I am while on a trap vs off a trap. My biggest complaint with the mobs right now is I feel Blizz went a little too hard on the whole 'explodes when it dies' thing. I'd start an alt, but I kind of want to wait for season 1. Probably make a druid or a necro. In all ARPGs I eventually make an all minion build that I grow to hate so I may as well get it over with.

uniques are largely turds because itemizing right now is too focused on 2-3 stats that most of them dont have and i think thats a shame, but i also anticipate that s1 is gonna come with some serious re-adjustment to the buckets edit: also release diablo 2 poo poo where things like unique boots dont have loving move speed

I like the Druid armor that makes me a perma werebear but I’m losing out on two regular defensive affixes and a legendary one for it, and that’s gonna be a big deal soon!!!! The thorns armor that requires you to get hit to use the lovely affix has no defensive affixes on it at all lmfao like gimme a break here.

Verviticus posted:armor and weapon damage are both really good the 136 armor difference on those items is meaningless and it was the 5th one he got for it to even be a small upgrade. even at level 57 thats only a 4% armor upgrade for me, and i'm a fairly squishy necro. at higher levels (70+) and more sturdy classes it's got to be even less. your big upgrade from level 52 to level 80 shouldn't be 4% armor upgrade on the otherwise exact same item. considering this and your other point that theres basically 3-4 good affixes period in the game... honestly the itemization is pretty poo poo, and i like a lot about this game!

i feel like different item attributes are fading in and out based on what level i am. i realized today i hadn't found a ring with resource generation on it in a while. i started getting some around lvl 70, i'm 74 now and havent found a new on since i was lvl 71. i sift through a lot of items right now, I've been on vacation for a week just being a total dork with this game. i dunno just one of those weird thigns you notice. resource generation on rings has been something i've been watching for since like lvl 60.

After that just do helltides or whispering tree to gear up initially and then start doing NM dungeons to level glyphs (and you can do renown whenever you feel like it). edit: level glyphs not sigils.

Also, does the legendary modifier get rerolled as well? When an item crosses power level breakpoints via upgrades (725 is the last one) it will get new affix rolls in the new range. This means the value can go down, but in most cases it will go up. The aspect is unaffected.

socialsecurity posted:Well it's fine I have a ton of sources of frozen and damage boosts to things with frozen, let me just freeze this boss real fast, hmm oh dear. When you posture break a boss they count as every type of cc. While I was leveling up I was using the teleport unique and teleport is the enchantment slot and a frost nova plus most of my teleports was enough to fill the stagger bar in a few seconds. Then the boss would just die in 4 casts. The frost burn gloves are also pretty nice with a reasonable amount of lucky hit, you're basically just losing the skills ranks but you get constant cc procs. I remember it being kind of obnoxious when playing arc lash, just waiting for procs would usually have the boss near dead by the time I could fill the stagger bar so I'd just ULT and nova and do as much as I could in the vulnerable window. Currently trying to switch to blizzard so I can smash my head into Uber Lilith but I seem to be having the bug where I can't imprint my offhand and it seems to have been a known bug for...uh, three weeks or more, lol.

Titan Quest (predecessor and same studio as Grim Dawn) had MIs too. It was a neat concept, as well as dual classing, which is something I've never seen in other arpgs. Imagine being a flurry rogue with a gaggle of skeletons in this game, or a whirlwind sorcerer.

Hello fellow teens! I have a 41 Rogue and since 39 I've discovered I can no longer complete the main quest, killing Elias. I've been playing with my build and invested in poison +flurry which seems like a great combo, but otherwise I still get f'ing wrecked now, even though I feel like I have a really good flow of combat and am very mobile. Even sidequests take multiple death's to complete, which wasn't happening before. I'm guessing there's some mechanic I'm not engaging with that is just now mandatory to remain competitive? From searching I found there's gear Aspects that I haven't messed with, is there anything else I may be missing?

Proficiencies aren't going to improve the feel of the class early on. If you are having issues with how they play then swap to thorns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm2ZDI1hvDM Basically leveled through betas and early launch as thornes and it works really well
