Penetrating shot with the aspect that splits it and the imbuement skills is super fun. Use combo points and your basic skill to get vuln, then use penetrating shot and watching things explode.

Flurry is fun with a rogue -- you can get the most important aspect from one of the dungeons in I think Fractured Peaks, and after that you just want to stack stuff that adds defense or heals on hit so you can wade into mobs and slice and dice.

Scipiotik posted:So i'm not loving twisting blades on my rogue, just not meshing after I was a bonespear previously. I played a combo flurry / rapid fire build for quite a while that was good. It was 90% flurry with rapid fire for single targets and bosses though so not a real ranged build or anything. Twisting blades feels pretty good to me as long as you always have the aspect that makes blades circle you though.

Flurry is great. Just a circle (with aspect) of bullshit you spam and it does one of three things on commands based on what you imbue your weapon with.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:This is really awesome, thank you! I was starting to try using Blood Mist more offensively but sometimes I pop out of it in the middle of a pack so I still have to work to do there. My items are all trash tier (as in affixes... they're all highest item power possible and best mix of affixes, but nothing special/specialized) so I didnt bother listing out stats/affixes. My plan was to sneak into WT3 so I could tag along on Legion events and do some Helltides to stack up materials for crafting/shift Aspects around and get better equipment that is actually worth investing in, but that seems to be biting me in the butt. I messed up the build link but hopefully this should work? https://d4builds.gg/builds/09c0ca81-4e6a-4d9b-b3a6-9bfdbfe33b9c/

It's like having a gun that can change between sniper rifle and shotgun with the press of a button. The sound effect of blowing up a whole corridor with shadow imbue is massively satisfying

Is flurry still good now that they nerfed the poo poo out of siphoning strikes? I haven't played it since they reduced rogue healing by 80% or whatever.

I’m flurry with poison imbuement and it seems decently tanky; I did the first capstone dungeon at level 43 without issue. Didn’t play rogue prior to the patch so I can’t comment on the difference.

Every survivability / damage issue is a WT4 problem. You will be fine 1-65 with any build you want as long as you put the right aspects on in WT3

Free yourself from the boring DPS focus of crit and vuln. I’m running around with 60% move speed from my boots and amulet and am having way more fun even if it takes one more proc to kill enemies. I should hopefully be able to get my cooldown reduction low enough that I can have constant cataclysm uptime. I have to give up a fair amount of Lucky Hit Chance to make it work, but the bonus is that Cataclysm had a 97% LHC as a skill so that really helps pick up the slack.

For a skill like Cataclysm the lucky hit is spread over the duration so that, on average, you will get 0.97 lucky hits per cataclysm. Of all the changes that came in the big nerf patch, CDR is the one that makes me the most sad. I just like to press my buttons

I don't know if I'm getting zoning issues or the barber just deletes things so quickly that they get erased from the game. 4 treasure goblins vanished into the ether while I was directly on top of them, dropping no loot. Same with that helltide boss with the massive health pool. I had him down to 5% ! This always seems to happen when I move even slightly across the map in the open world. If it's zoning, the game is a lot more slick about when it comes to other player characters. I've followed around groups in helltides but they at least vanish off screen.

Tiny Timbs posted:Ice Spikes not hitting monsters at close range is messing with me way more than I thought it would lol Ice spikes absolutely have some Z height targeting fuckery going on. They consistently miss stuff if you shoot at something on a steep enough downslope, and certain enemies straight up cannot be hit at all. Like the exploding blood bombs some bosses poo poo out, and lunatic fallen seem to be drat near impossible to hit as well.

Well you can: Run NM dungeons and try to get an ancestral weapon which will increase your DPS by half Sneak and creep around in Helltides scooping up cinders like a remora Drop back to WT3 and run helltides and then go back up to WT4 and open your mystery chests Run regular dungeons to grind reknown and also hopefully get some ancestral drops

ex post facho posted:Ancients Oath with a Thorns build suddenly occurs to me.. So I've been building around this with rend and it's surprisingly good even without razorplate. I just stand in one spot in a pack, activate 3 shouts, and Steel Grasp any distance enemy while they kill themselves on thorns and bleed. It's also very fast at the move speed cap with Berserking and a move speed amulet. Really enjoying it and its survivability in WT4.

If you beat the capstone you should be able to handle doing the regular wt4 dungeons for whispers. That's what I've been doing. You'll die occasionally to elites in packs or with annoying affixes

The tree doesn't seem to drop ancestrals at all though if you are under leveled, so you are just getting drops from whatever you kill.

Vic posted:I have fond memories playing D1 online because it was all cheaters and you knew because you could view other player inventories via your publicly available diablo cheater program. And people would lie about cheating too when you tried to play legit and only used the program to check. I learned how to type fast in D1 Bnet channel wars, and had both a "legit" character and a hacked char. My path towards corruption truly began when the other players in my clean game got angry at me for spamming a 255-charge Staff of the Apocalypse, which normally could only roll a handful of charges. A friendly player dropped it for me and I didn't think overly regarding itemization in those days.

hawowanlawow posted:I think ancestral can upgrade another tier? No, but stats like armor and damage does not stop scaling and ancestral can get higher ilevels than sacred. Rings and amulets get increased resistances but since resistance barely does anything anyway you can run with sacred rings and amulet if you find a good one and not miss out.

Jezza of OZPOS posted:i dunno about other classes but this isnt true for necro. a lot of clutch glyphs get much more powerful with levelling but you can find a board that allows a glyph to proc its enhanced ability very easily without the extended range it’s not so much that you can’t find it without the extended range in my experience, just that you can pick them up a lot more efficiently. of the common glyphs and boards for barb, iirc only imbiber couldn’t hit the required stats with its default range on the board everyone puts it in. in necro though once i level up i forget which glyph s couple more levels i’ll be able to claw back 5 or 6 points to use elsewhere. and leveled glyphs are a lot of many builds power, not just the range but the bonus that gets increased

It's way more fun to wait and then move an inch to the side. The moment they get close enough the little bastards stop and start to vibrate and you just scoot out the way. Sometimes I have a little train of them across pootling across a room just exploding to no avail just behind me. Far easier than bothering to kill them.
