Does this actually do anything?
I can see the Shadow Clone, but it's just standing there, not mimicking anything.
A visual feedback of it doing something would be really nice.



Also pretty cool that you can farm tons of Uniques from the bosses but there's almost zero chance to randomly get the one you need to actually progress your build.

Or have the temporarily removed Tibaults Will from the loot pool altogether because of the 23 combo point bug for Rogues?

But I guess I won't need it anymore anyways in a day or two when I'm 100 and done with the season.

I'm not sure how to actually set up the combo points but bosses just explode sometimes.

I got the pants in first duriel fight. Have gotten like 4 or 5 of the daggers. What build are you using? I'm not using the dagger but I think that in conjunction with the pants can lead to bosses exploding. Build up points and then nuke basically.

/\/\/\save it for the next season. They actually got me to lay down cash for cosmetics finally. I was just short of plat to get the cool bone outfit for my druid with the stuff i've built up since launch, so I plunked down money to get enough plat for that one and the slutty rogue outfit.

I blame being on vacation.

thee lilith statues? Once you get them all, they should be cleared for all your subsequent characters. I think there's still a normal/hardcore divide though.

Your standard poison imbue TB build. Not really sure how to activate the combo point torrent or know when I have a bazillion combo points. I approach bosses with a dodge roll, poison imbue, combo up, then stabby stab. Poison pool plops down and then the boss hp bar goes full poisoned and just drops.

Sometimes you just got to bitch online about it.

Got my Tibaults from Avarice just now.
Just in time before the patch hits where they probably take out the combo point bug (even if it wasn't mentioned in the patch notes released earlier, I think).

Duriel and Lilith, here I come.

Mustached Demon posted:

When you hover over your combo point meter it will show "19/19" for example.
With the Condemnation dagger, you can fill that up almost instantly, definitely feels quicker than a "30% chance to add 3 combo points", almost as if it's a "30% chance to fill your MAX combo points", because they didn't account for the Tibault bug.

Edit: Yup, the new training dummy confirms this.
The Condemnation proc just fills up ALL your combo points, not just adds 3.
And it's not patched out after the update today.

The premium battlepass cost 1000 plat and you get less than 1000 for completing the battlepass, right? I assumed I'd be able to use the plat to get the next season battlepass for "free" since that's how most games work.

If Blizzard introduces new content that is required to enjoy new content, like the Helltide chests that give you Living Steel to farm Duriel farming materials, and there is a bug that causes the chests that have Living Steel to not show up, then they need to make it so Embers persist. Its loving horseshit that I can farm up 300+ Embers but not get to spend them because I waste 10 minutes faffing about to get the goddamned chest to spawn but it never does.

Go to the vamptides in T4 and see how you fare. You can likely just run around with vamp keys and gear up relatively quickly using those chests. Realistically though you should be fine to start farming T4.

I wish my goddamn poison druid could do that. It's exponentially better than when I tried this build at launch and couldn't get past 40 (currently 90), but I'm lucky if all my different poison sources get an even level boss 1/4 full of poison

If that happens to you, porting to a Town (as in, one of the major ones like Kyvoshad) or entering a cellar/dungeon should fix it.

Okay, thanks. I'll try that when I got time later.

How about the new bosses.. Duriel? Is that only T4? Is that group only or should I be able to try and solo him as well? I have a bunch of materials for the guy under the tree. Do I need others?

You don't need thumbs for revenge
To fight Duriel, you need to fight both Echo of Varshan (the tree dude, he drops Mucus Egg) and the Galvanized Saint (he needs Living Steel, he drops Shard of Agony) twice, on T4 because they both drop mats you need two of to summon Uber Duriel.

Note, that all summonable mats needed for the bosses are tradable, and Shard of Agony in particular goes for a decent amount of gold actually. Also worth noting if you go in groups, only the person who uses the mats to summon Varshan/Saint dude whose name I can’t remember actually get the Egg/Shard. Everyone still gets loot though, which is why it’s not a terrible idea of look for Duriel Groups at least.

Yeah it seems their goal was to write the worst most self-righteous angel imaginable and by god they succeeded.

My favourite D4 story moment is near the end when the gates of hell flood open and all the plans are foiled and everyone is dying and no hope remains, your ultra-stoic character just straightens his/her back and goes "Let me take care of it".
