I didn't play the last few pre-release patches so I don't know how much of the stuff that's new to me is actually new-new but some of the maps are looking really good lately, loving the new Gates of Solarum.

Anyway, so why wouldn't be carrying over characters you already leveled, albeit without gear, a solution?

What's this games quivalent of PoE's /skills or whatever it is to check you've done enough sidequests to get the skill points?

Also I seem to be short on idol slots, is there a list somewhere of quests that give idols slots?

open the map and look to the bottom left

E: clicking on the sidequests with the map open will tell you their rewards. there's an overabundance of both types of quests so just pick the ones you want to do.

Open the map, look at the bottom left of the screen. Check quests in the quest log and they show you what the reward is

So how's the merchant guild economy playing out so far for those of you playing online? It seems like there is very little to spend gold on in this game so I'm wondering if the trading is going to end up d3-AH style where the prices of good items just go up forever.

Thanks I want to try one that swaps at some point but for now I'm happy being a bear.

That’s not to say that you can’t, but unless you have a particular plan in mind you’re likely handicapping yourself. Each of the forms (including human) have plenty of viable builds though.

the market is good for specific uniques. everythingelse is sold at 0 gold for the reputation farming which is beyond insane how much rep you need to buy anything with even 1 lp

That guy should just do what I do, and if a load doesn't go well just tab out, make a bad post in the last epoch thread on something awful, then try the zone again a few minutes later.

Edit: also I kept my job and didn't marry anyone or get them pregnant, which helps.

Grim Dawn and D4 have made me dependent on the evade button and it's getting me killed a ton in LE. Standing in the warning circle for an extra hit or two since I can just skip out of it right before the AoE goes off and...oh, dear.



e; alt-tabbing out during loading screens to farm a few pylons in GD isn't helping break that habit.

I bind one of the skills to a mouse thumb button and always have a travel move on it specced for minimum cooldown, I feel that is something vital to any build.

Man does it feel nice reaching 50 bleed stacks on a boss before their health bar suddenly empties.

I have a terrible time figuring out how to build my skills to stack effects like this and end up with a dozen bleed, a dozen ignite, etc... I'm so bad at build planning. I just switched from Cthonic Fissure to Soul Feast and in some ways it's amazing and so much better (causing packs of garbage to simply cease existing) and in other ways it's kind painful because I can't just run around like a dumb-rear end on bosses while letting the Fissure do the work.

What I want to do is convert everything I possibly can to necrotic so I can just stack that, but it looks like that's not really an option as the curses do poison/bleed/fire stuff? If anyone has a nicely working Soul Feast build that I could look at to get ideas, I would enjoy doing that and be grateful.

I did this on a primalist/beast master so I'm not exactly sure of the skills, but gear with the dot you're after helps quite a bit. Especially if it has the duration stat. Haste makes numbers go up faster as well. I'm using a two-handed axe on mine so it would probably go even higher if I dual wielded but that's not as cool :D

Edit
Also, obviously a weapon with dot on attack if that exists (I know bleed does at least).

Death is whimsical today

I'm trying to follow this maxroll shaman totem build but I'm not sure I understand. It's a shitload of button presses just to clear trash. Summon crows, summon 3 totems which only last a few seconds, switch to spriggarn, push a few more things, maybe summon a healing totem?

Is there a better shaman build that's more straightforward and I can just blast through poo poo on the screen without endlessly summoning poo poo that either dies or does underwhelming damage?



edit: There is an upgrade to spriggarn form that makes the healing totems shoot thorns. Now it makes a little more sense, will continue with this guide for a bit

Not to restart the campaign discourse but does the campaign just kind of uhhhhhh end after the snake lady?

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

There is a To Be Continued or at least a "go do monos while we write the rest of the story" but it's in text/dialogue immediately after Majasa and lol at people reading text in ARPGs

They planned 3 more chapters of the story but prioritised other things for 1.0, which makes a certain amount of sense given their audience even if it annoys me (and me alone, I suspect)

I sometimes accidentally move the mouse while mashing, clicking the second option, quitting the dialogue and having to restart it again.

I also agree that respecing is very clunky right now, as I’m retooling from my leveling to my endgame build.

Is there really no “just respec all my passives” button?

Do we really need the deep penalty for skill respecialization?

Skill penalty isn't really much at higher levels. I respecced a skill out for a new one on my legacy character and had the new skill at max level in like two monoliths.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

If you don't know what you're doing and respec a few skills at once while you're leveling it can be very annoying until your stuff relevels, doing 1 skill at a time usually isn't awful though.

It would be nice if the passive respec menu was a little more optimized though for sure.

Tiny Timbs

Yeah the skill respec thing is a bit annoying. I’m experimenting with skills and it stinks to have to restart leveling them, even with the XP bonus.

Second Hand Meat Mouth

yeah they should let us optionally pay gold or something to keep the points during respec

Wuxi

Respeccing is a bit annoying early, but a complete non-issue later on. This should probably be the other way around, at least give out more minimum skill points earlier so you can actually test out skill defining passives immediately.

You usually just want to sit in Spriggan form and cast totems and some utility. Druid transformations in general suck early on since you cant sustain the rage cost to save your life, but once you can sustain the forms it absolutely owns.

I just went through this and found for passive respecs, you can left click the node and hit enter so it's just a matter of spamming click->enter at least, instead of mousing over the node, then over the confirm button.
