...must attack and fall upon them with a gallant bearing and a fearless heart, and, if possible, vanquish and destroy them, even though they have for armour the shells of a certain fish, that they say are harder than diamonds, and in place of swords wield trenchant blades of Damascus steel...

Generally not interested in video explanations, but the falconer skill trees look super cool. There seem to be all kinds of interesting synergies that combine multiple skills. One other fun thing stood out: for the spear lovers, it seems like you could make a kind of proper jumping final fantasy dragoon build with dive bomb and a spear.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Any non-video links to the skill trees?

I wonder if anything fun can be done with the fact that dive bomb can detonate both decoys and explosive traps at the same time.

I want to start as a hammerdin and my head canon will be that my Diablo 2 character got sucked into the last epoch universe.

Edit: As per my earlier posts, the hammerdin in Diablo 2 had no idea why he was killing everything and he will not know why he is killing everything in last epoch either :colbert:

is there really any reason to be making a new seasonal character if you intend to just play offline anyways? online for this game has been a crapshoot from my experience, and I'm far more interested in the ssf faction over the trading one (at least for the first season).

The bow trapper isn't actually a falconer, it's just a boring marksman splashing into falconer for some explosive toys.

There's no reset, so you'll be fine to continue a character that you start now. The character will be on the eternal realm rather than the seasonal realm so if you're interested in trading once 1.0 starts you'll be in competition with people who've been playing since the start of early access. If you don't care about trade then there will be no appreciable difference between seasonal and eternal, based on what they've announced so far

I'm under the impression that if you don't intend to play online and in the trade faction, you can just start now if you like. the first two cycles' content gets shipped to both cycle and eternal realm. it's how I'm approaching the first cycle, because I have a feeling the servers are gonna poo poo the bed for a good bit at the start

Is the Kes-mancer available now, or does it start with the full 1.0?

I just realised that Kes is, well, a kestrel and not a falcon. Oops

the falconer and the warlock specializations are both going to unlock with 1.0, and are not currently available in game. 1.0 will also bring a lot of graphical improvements, balance changes, the trade and oracle faction systems, and faster load times

I wanted to play Last Epoch but after watching this 100% true/serious/factual video I've seen the (yellow) light shining out of my inventory and will go back to D4.

They'll get it right with a couple more expansions and it might be worth picking up on sale in a few years.

Looking forward to rolling runemaster for 1.0. I love wizards.

RoS was lipstick on a pig, contrary to the general "Actually the expansion made it pretty good" sentiment IMO, and D4's expansions will all be the same.

I'm not sure anymore that the Diablo series was ever really that good. So many Action RPGs have come out since Diablo II, and many of them have been superior. Diablo III was only ever just okay, and Diablo IV will never be good.

Yeah, it massively changed itemization, how item drops worked, redid basically every skill, changed how difficulty works...

Hearing complaints about D3 from Last Epoch fans feels weird to me because I like Last Epoch specifically because it's the one most like D3.

woosh woosh
Reaper of Souls added Adventure Mode which is probably the thing that single-handedly saved Diablo 3 from its spiral into irrelevance. Many of the big sweeping changes to itemization and skills were not part of RoS but a big patch that came out just before it, but Adventure Mode was part of the expansion.

I've always considered Diablo 3 an "arcadey" arpg, in that it was like the NBA Jam of ARPGs, whereas POE is the Football Manager of ARPGs.

I am hoping Last Epoch is like the Madden of ARPGs.
