lagidnam posted:Then you come to Lightning Spear... 20s base cooldown, you can use an aspect to have a "chance" to spawn a second Spear when you cast it. Then you look at the enchantment and it's "10% chance to spawn a Spear when you pick up Crackling Energy". Best way to get Crackling Energy is the 30% on crit from Chain Lightning. RageGaming had a video but they did so many ULTIMATE BEST SORCERER ENGAME BUILD_FINAL_ACTUAL_BEST videos it's hard to find. E: it's not that one. There's one he made that was literally 'screen full of lightning spears, each time lightning spear hits it burns, burn sets off tal rashas & xfal, crackling energy sets off more lightning spears and unstable currents is on a zero cooldown.' Your lightning spears hit and crit so much, the passive that drops crackling energy on a crit produces so many you just need to flickerstep between them to keep yourself at zero cooldown.

RageGaming videos are very bad. Do not watch these, do not recommend them. They crank out billions of them and they're all long drawn-out videos by design. What should be a 2 minute video getting to the point becomes 10+ minutes wasting your time. None of the builds or info they have is nothing you can't find anywhere else

TBH sorc is kinda lame until you can get to Varshan and grab a Raiment. I just switched over to a (helm-less, ofc) meteor build after getting mine, about level 55 or so, and maybe I'm still riding the level 50 paragon bump but it's just smashing groups of things.

Playing a HoTA barb for the first time and it's real fun, I understand why it's such a popular build. I was very late into S2 when I picked up the game and by the time I got to WT3 with my rapid fire/flurry rogue it was pretty much over, now I'm really enjoying ripping rear end through Helltides with random pubbies.

Are HotA, Upheavel, and Arsenal all basically the same thing except your skill to one shot stuff is a little different?

Kinda? how to maximize their damage is different but, yeah, those are all fairly standard barb bread and butter buttons. e: okay wa is a passive but it's easy to cycle things to keep it maxed.

Vegastar posted:I cannot figure out why this team is so obsessed with siloing progress to individual characters in almost every way. After the big shocked pikachu reaction to the lilith statues and map progress at launch, I can't believe they're still doubling down on this kind of thing. For every one person you're convincing to drop another 100 hours to redo all their vampire levels/machine pet upgrades/glyphs you're probably losing 50 people when they get bored of a character and cannot be bothered to redo all this poo poo a second time. someone still wants it to be diablo 2 but they refuse to unleash the economy in a way that would let it approach that

Shredder posted:so I hit 45 on a sorc and I've been doing the chain lightning build from maxroll. I kept running out of mana so I switched to spark and crackling energy instead of stupid arc lash and it's way loving better but it still feels weak as hell. I've done a sorc each season and I find leveling is always best with frozen orb enchant and spam click casting inferno to proc it everywhere for small mana. The orbs stop at the target with the enchant. A few items and switching to your desired build in the 60s has worked well compared to my season 0 strategy. Full disclosure haven't started this season yet so maybe something has changed?

Arsenal is pretty cool but I usually go berserking, and most often HotA. capping your resource and dropping a thermonuclear hammer feels a certain kind of way that I like.

Feels like they moved the decimal five or six places too far Guy who plays 16 hours a day for a job found his third today in making a video about something. good luck Kaysette posted:The pet not being account wide is so dumb. Let it be about, oh, 10x as strong as you level it up and let it carry my alts. If you’re going to need to run 2,000 vaults to max all the tuning stones, don’t expect that anyone will do that multiple times. So little thought went into this season it’s absurd. there should be a guaranteed new glyph from each activity that drops them if you haven't unlocked all the glyphs yet, like with S2 powers. there should be a maximum of 3 levels to the glyphs, like with S2 powers. the progress you make leveling the glyphs should be account wide, as with S2 powers. instead of trying to fiddle with numbers to make it appropriately powerful, the pet should just do damage equal to a rolling average or snapshot of the damage you as the character just did, something that is independent of blizzard trying to WoW balance and is a direct power-add to the PC, as with S2 powers. it should take a few hours max to obtain and cap all the new powers so you can move on to the interesting parts of the game, as with S2 powers ultrachrist posted:I see a lot of people using ranged attacks in the robot but I like melee (pummel) with taunt. He can group up packs or block boss attacks. For example, I stood behind him on Elias and the red balls poofed when the hit him. Or on the last room in vaults I stand in a safe spot in the corner while he runs to the middle. I’m also wearing frostburn because I don’t have better gloves and sometimes I kill everything in that room without actually seeing any of them. none of this matters around the time you hit WT4. the construct doesn't hit its attacks often enough to do things like proc on-stun effects you slot , itdoesn't do any damage when it does hit, it does hit with enough frequency to keep any potential proc effects running, and it doesn't even stay on the screen most of the time because it fixates on random mobs in the back or whatever, so even if you slot double buffs on it, it still doesn't use them on c/d it does less damage than a single 1 skill point basic attack. it has less impact than the first skill point you slot in your character by the time you hit WT4. even if you grind and get the glyph that causes them to apply vuln to level 10 so it applies 100% of the time (increases from 10% to 100, 10%/level) it is worse than base functionality exploit glyph for 3 out of 5 classes AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I tried that when they first added it and it was buggy so it sucked, I take it is actually works correctly now? better than when you tried it. fine/good with M/KB, still could use more magnetism on controller. i still regularly miss packs of mobs i have highlighted that i could land on with a leap, but for some reason charge decides to stop way short or just veer wildly to one side

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Wudijo's no shout Double Swing build for endgame? Rob2628 is a more barb focused guy like Wudijo who hosts a bunch of builds on D4builds with explainers on youtube. HotA is still going to outdamage everything (and uses charge) but he has upheaval, double swing, and i think a rend out some other build there as well. maybe one of those would fit the mood of whatever you're looking for. wudijo generally has more conservatively built guides because he plays ssf HC whereas rob can do off the deep end w/expectations because he runs with a group of 4, trades for a bunch, and plays SC

I hope the expansion really reworks skill trees for the existing classes instead of just adding whatever new class(es) they add. Or at least radically rebalance things to hugely nerf the existing meta to shove things in a different direction.

Oh good, I was wondering what the gently caress was up with all the goddamn knockback. Did those notes mention fixing the obelisks reactivating after I shut them off, and not giving me a prompt to shut it off again? Cause that seems like an annoying bug, unless one of those loving clowns designed it that way on purpose(plausible)

How are the developers brain dead to what people want to do in an ARPG? Of course players want to fight the new boss! Developer’s Note: We have noticed players tended to use their Pearls of Warding for fighting Echo of Malphas instead of on Zoltun’s Warding. We are adding in Igneous Cores—a new item used solely to summon Malphas instead of Pearls—so players don’t have to choose between extra protection in the Vaults or fighting the boss. Additionally, we have made the fight against Malphas more difficult but also increased the rewards it provides.

Man that is awesome and hilarious that we're going to be able to insert a couple pearls and have dozens / hundreds of stacks of Warding and can just ignore the trap mechanic entirely That'll make it a little more reasonable when the Butcher shows up in your nightmare vault and hookshots you into a trap
