ANIME SUCKS HARD

As of the patch yesterday resource burn was 16% per hit and was triggering on melee mobs in addition to ranged mobs.

I never really had issues with it before but it was annoying to the point I just quit and ran another dungeon about 1/2 way through.

Hopefully they fix it. The tooltip still says it's only distant mobs

gotta have some reason to justify the existence of the malignant heart of "resource burn reduced by 50%"

is the game bad now

Yep game is bad now, but also it was bad yesterday, and my second-cousin's father in law works at Blizzard and told me it will be bad forever. I'm planning on putting 200 hours in over the weekend tho just to confirm. stay tuned.

On July 18, we released Patch 1.1.0 for Diablo IV. Since then, we’ve received valuable feedback from the community regarding the changes it implemented. We wanted to take the opportunity to address that feedback directly during our Season of the Malignant Campfire Chat.

Join game director Joe Shely, associate game director Joseph Piepiora, and associate director of community Adam Fletcher on July 21 at 11 a.m. PDT. The team will discuss the feedback we’ve received from the community on Patch 1.1.0, and detail what’s on the horizon for Diablo IV.

My real gripe with the patch is that my rogue was right in that gap between WT3 and WT4 where she was already squishy as gently caress at level 70, and this patch to make that gap even wider catches people in the high 60’s-low 70’s in a bad place.

I thought the 50-70 WT3 grind was pretty terrible as it was, having enemies jump 10 levels if I switch over at lvl70 in s1 is making me wonder whether I’ll bother. I never bothered beating the final boss in Elden Ring, if I want to get poo poo on in a stupid video game with no pause function I’ll just play that.

They really should have made wt2 give 20 percent more items if they wanted to normalize the reward.

Logged into my 69 Rogue to get the Renown progress saved and was rewarded with the last tier completing on all zones. I tried running a random Nighmare Dungeon sigil I had and got my rear end handed to me. Could be the damage nerfs or it could be that I had already burned out days ago and started playing D2R again.

Anyway, will probably poopsock some time tonight until the kid wakes up. The question is... Druid or Barb?

Looking for something tanky and braindead-ish since I ended frustrated by the Rogue's squishiness.

Skovos expansion when.

Druid is tanky as gently caress, and while it doesn't move anywhere near as fast as Rogue, it's still fun to hit the Trample button and charge into an enemy pack and slam down pulverizes until the enemies die.

Barb moves faster with its leap skill but it's nowhere near as tanky as my Druid was and is.

someone theorized that it could be applicable to channeled skills like WW or incinerate, though it is worded uniquely compared to other stats that do that. might b cool though

There is no way blizzard would come up with a cool interaction like that and if it does work that way its a bug and will be hotfixed immediatly to avoid a situation where fun is had

We're always hiring!

Finally got my first unique the other day (Vasily's Prayer), which is good for me since I'm trying to go with an Earthbear build.
I haven't been playing much though because I'm waiting on my gf and friends to get through the drat story so they can join me in Tier 3, plus Final Fantasy 14 & 16 are hard to get away from. Would like to get the Insatiable Fury chestpiece one of these days. I'll probably get it 30 seconds after everyone decides that Werebear is terrible and should never be used.

Thanks, that is what I'm aiming for, I was already leaning towards Druid since it's the other class that I got some play time into the beta and I have fond memories of my bugged Shockwave Druid in D2R before Blizzard killed it.

There will probably be a bunch of uniques, legendaries, paragon boards and stuff added in season 2 to really shake things up, so sorc will be so crazy then.

Good thinking!

Yeah usually I charge into packs and then slam pulverize until I'm out of spirit and then tap maul once or twice to get spirit and it's back on the pulverize button until everything dies. You want to pump overpower damage percents and build towards having overpower go off more. Once you do that, while its single target is a bit mediocre, it feels great to slam into a pack of 30-40 enemies and just one or two tap the entire pack with Pulverize.

Hi E/N
I decided last weekend I would not play anymore in anticipation for season 1. Much to the dismay of my family and loved ones I have been suffering from psychological withdrawals for the past few days, mood swings, loss of purpose, feelings of emptiness and existential dread. I had a strong urge to tap into my summer vacay weed and get super baked in order to cope, but thankfully I managed to mind over matter all this and held it together successfully.

Today I have a social call 8.5h from now (the exact time S1 launches) which will last about 2hrs, giving everyone else time enough to login and play while I will be somewhere else away from my computer and screen. I estimate the queue times once I return to the PC will be insane and I am trying to prepare myself mentally for the possibility of not even being able to log into the game today and having to wait until tomorrow to play

Who would have thought we would get a good diablo game huh. I really could not believe it after the D3 trainwreck and the complete downfall of blizzard this would even be possible. Not in a million years did I think we would get another good diablo game but here it is. They even made it harder for season 1 to cull the trash player population

They even added a little pentagram to the title screen, its adorable. Could do without the lil sword in the middle but it is stilla pentagram
