I hope the season is fun. I was hoping to feel excited about it, but it hasn't really hit me yet. Maybe the gauntlet will provide something fun to work towards, but eh.

It's really hard for me to get past the unsatisfying itemization D4 currently offers.

No shame in that, I have the same with PoE as well. Sometimes it takes a few patches to rouse my interest again. Good thing we are spoiled with choice in ARPGs, amazing times

Is a ranged Rogue build actually going to be viable this season? Always loved zooming around with a Demon Hunter blasting everything from a screen away in D3 but all of the bow stuff for Rogue that I've tried so far feels really anemic and like 1000x weaker than just doing the one Twisting Blades build.

Well TB got tuned down several ways this patch, with tibalts being fixed and TB itself doing 2 hits of 30% poison instead of 3 hits of 100% poison. So there's a chance the ranged build is more competitive - but really I think it depends on what degenerate combos get found this season

Piecemealing gear out is actually a genius move because the entire game is just leveling and gearing atm and still nothing to do with that end game gear. Keeping players engaged longer is a key metric to a successful mmo

Do you get this with other downloaders/launchers? I was for the longest time and found a solution on the official Electronic Arts forums: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/incredibly-slow-download-speeds/m-p/12501617/highlight/true#M39530 that fixed it for me

If it's any consolation, with the new patch you're stronger with a 905 weapon than you were in the old sandbox with a 925 lol

Smoll number = sad gamer obviously but like you do more damage, kill big enemy easier, etc

I actually just now found a solution that instantly fixed my problem:

Ticking the download limit on and setting it to 999999

Somehow the setting was limiting my download speed, even when not enabled

minion AI isn't changed, mobs still walk into traps of screen so that's at partial health or sometimes dead. your minion walks into traps and "dies" easily, uses big cooldowns on single mobs, so i'm guessing it just uses them off cd without regard to if they're AoE or whatever

it's hitting for about as much as my basic attack in my mid 30s as barb

charge seems cool but even with the over 9000 % damage increase it's not doing much more damage than core skills atm

I had that issue. Teleporting to hub didn’t work, I just went to an over world construct area and did a couple events and went back and it worked. Must’ve been because I switched instances doing that.

Minion seems somewhat useless so far but I appreciate there’s a clear quest line that I’m leveling up quite fast on.

Use +Fury On Use nodes on skills like Leap and Stomp.

There's a passive in the Ultimates tier that gives you +Fury on weapon swap that greatly soothes the problem.

No, you never have enough Fury.

yeah you get enough fury with plenty of builds, especially now that unbridled rage is no longer needed. aspects for rings are the best way until paragon is online

charge is an absolute liability in the trap areas, as anyone should have seen coming

At the start, not really but it’s something that gets better and better as you level up and get the right aspects

double swing attack animation still bugged and sometimes animation locks you for 2-3 seconds. steel grasp still bugged and doesn't always pull mobs in and/or apply vuln, leap still bugged and doesn't always reposition you and/or give 40 fury. charge is a liability in trap areas

oh well, guess it's back to triple shout HotA until/if they fix any of those abilities
