"I'm sick and tired of reading these posts!"
Today I learned that chance to execute on lucky hit only triggers if the enemy is already under 35%. Boo! I say. Let us have our fun.

Edit: It says "chance to execute injured enemies" everywhere, this is on me

Affliction coins manufactured in the Mint of Sixty Sorrows have a 7.5% chance of shattering the Belligerent Bursar's teeth when it bites the coins to make sure they are not counterfeit. The pieces of Eternally Bleeding Fillings this yields in turn are used in the recipe to upgrade ancestral items to atavistic items, provided you can get Uber Lilith to drop the recipe.

It's pretty basic, really.

Years ofy life into D2 and D2r I hated d3 grind. Played Immortal a fair amount, very potato chip.

Got a couple of 50+ now and my take is, it's the loot system and stats of Immortal, with the grindy storiness of D2. I'm pleased.

And like Immortal, don't read the drat build lists, so much funner to come to your own conclusions on how to click enemies to death with reckless abandon. I had a 95 HC bow Pally, I live for obtuse off meta builds and Immortal also allowed for it to a degree.

What level does it start mattering? I'm level 72, and my main metrics of a successful build:
1) Can it HC?
2) Can it spam without mana or CD issues?
3) Can it always get "Mastery" on helltide events?
4) Can it melt NMD bosses in 1-2 skill rotations?

#3 is how I gauge most respecs I do. It's a much quicker baseline than running dungeons over and over. Covers AOE DPS and sniper style DPS to clear the annoying ranged enemies to reset horde waves.

For Season 1 only two things will carry over: Altars of Lillith and Map Reveals. You will get the renown for those automatically which if you've found everything would cover the first 2 rewards and most of the third. This means you could potentially start with 6 skill points and 9 potion charges at level 1, and not be far off from another 5 skill points.

I honestly do not do a whole lot of helltide, and I'm 88 so your mileage may vary, but you're using the same four defensive skills you probably already have on your bar and then ice blades. The build centers 100% around the glacial aspect that procs ice spikes during blizzard and uses the prodigy aspect and the fact that every other ability on your bar is a cool down to top up your mana in order to stack blizzards. If you have Raiment, you throw teleport and firebolt on your enchantment slots, teleport in, drop a couple blizzards, frost nova and everything explodes similar to ice shards. If you don't have Raiment I'd probably put something else in the enchantment slot, but for what it's worth I am missing one major aspect (spike explosion radius) and level 15 on two glyphs and it still owns.

This is what I am using and it seems solid. Honestly way more survivable than Ice Shards and damage feels way more consistent. Also now do like 650k crits instead of like 80k crits. So, there's that.

It is nice to know the effort I put in getting all the altars won't be wasted.

You’ll get a lot more of the materials than you need as you progress. If you don’t have a comfortable stash of materials salvage away, but gold and forgotten souls (from helltides) eventually become the only bottlenecks.

Edit: I’ve clearly played too much of the game, but I’m pretty sure I spend less than 30 seconds sorting whether a full inventory of items has anything worthwhile. Are yall in T4 and unsure about what you’re looking for on gear?

Here’s the checklist: sort inventory (this groups item of the same type together and puts the highest power level first)
-helm: no cdr? Trash
-chest: less than 3 defensive affixes? Trash
-gloves: no crit chance or +core skill? Trash
-pants: less than 3 defensive affixes? Trash
-boots: no move speed? Trash
-rings: missing more than 1 of vuln damage, crit damage, crit chance? Trash
-amulet: missing move speed and cdr? Trash
-weapons: lower than power level 780 or missing both crit damage and vuln damage? Trash

This filters more than 95% of items in basically no time. Most of this applies to every character. You still have to pick up loot because you will be strapped for gold. Filters would be nice, but it isn’t something I’m spending a ton of time on at this point.

I kinda was feeling like this was the case so thank you for confirming. Helpful post

Someone needs to rebalance this thread it's kinda broken rn.

I think you'll be fine just logging into one, I am imagining it checks account completion and you need to have a living character for it to check in HC.

Thanks! I've counted the altars on my in-game map and on the static maps on Maxroll and they keep coming up to the same number so clearly I've forgotten how to count things. Would be nice if there was some kind of api to allow third party services to hook into your character info and then just pinpoint the altar you're missing, and for that matter remaining sidequests (and their spawn locations). Then you could get all your stats and stuff too and it could be built into a damage calc etc. Sounds great tbh. Get it done, Blizz.
