idiotsavant posted:Runemaster sounds like it was supposed to be a flat 15% but instead is acting as a +15% per point ward regen which probably ends up being something insane in a good low life build For comparison, Vessel of Strife is an endgame build-defining relic that only rarely drops from t4 Julra and it has 40-66% of life regen also apply to ward. Runemaster can for 8 passive points get 120% (and also 72 life and 24% health regen on top). Its insanely busted. Runemaster is extremely busted even without any bugs and can be easily played as a two-button build as well. The strongest invocation is Reowyn's Frostguard, which gives you a lot of ward and 30% damage reduction. Since it has a 13sec duration you can use Immutable Order to easily get permanent uptime. Pick any flavour of skill for dps and you're good to go - Spark Charges and Frost Claw are probably the most common ones.

compared to my two-button spellblade but it also feels like it has the greatest potential for busted Mage builds since invocations are so buried & kinda difficult to parse

Not an entirely surprising event. I do wish they'd stuck to their original stance, and reddit polling for game changes seems crazy to me, but I guess it was a big enough deal to open that particular can of worms.Kaddish posted:Even after the fix the ward bump from bone curse profane veil will still be useful against damage spikes yeah? Not really. There's absolutely zero sustain, which was kind of the whole point of getting a ton of it. Generating 9k ward isn't exactly amazing and you have to stop and spin to do it. I usually refreshed the second it hit 20k because a blip of connection weirdness with a skill not firing would mean death. You can easily generate more ward from a low life setup. The health scaling on walls is broken, and that might give you some usage, but there wasn't a poll about that.

Two dumb questions - I'm level 81 with my spellblade and just started running empowered monos. If I hit the right maps I can usually cruise pretty easy but I definitely run into a few where it either takes me a bit to kill stuff - like 5-6 seconds to burn down an uncommon and maybe 10-12 to kill certain elites vs pretty much instantly trashing everything including mages in normal mono. I'm definitely dying more if I'm not careful, too, especially if I don't pay enough attention to stacked up affliction attacks. My gear isn't flat out terrible, but somewhat mid, and there are a few pieces I definitely need to improve, like my relic. Is this a pretty normal state of things for starting Empowereds? 2nd q - I want to start throwing some exalted gear into twink uniques so I can start some alts; I'm assuming LP2 stuff is probably good enough if I get the right rolls in. Should I just aim to farm for them in empowereds, or is easy mode farming in normal better?

So I decided to take a break from the helm farming and start leveling up the Necro with a little bit of twink gear. I have to say that having an unstoppable army of skeletons and a bone golem and just munching through the campaign as fast as I can move is kinda fun. At level 26 and some of the key twinkie items... 6 skeleton archers (+1 next skill level) and 4 skeleton mages plus bone golem. I drop an infernal shade on whatever as I'm running through, and use the Acolyte teleport skill whose name is escaping me to just zoom zoom.  Game is a hoot playing new characters this way.

My gear isn't flat out terrible, but somewhat mid, and there are a few pieces I definitely need to improve, like my relic. Is this a pretty normal state of things for starting Empowereds? 1) spellblade is considered the worst subclass in the game right now,and only has 2 viable skills both requiring some pretty high end exalted gear to function properly. that's a big factor in how you're feeling in empowered monoliths 2) if you're cof, just getting the lp bonus and running a couple unique prophecies will you get you plenty of lp2 items. if you're bazaar, trade for some low level ones. you want to be in empowered monoliths, as you get a higher rarity multiplier and also better blessing rewards to flesh out your character.

Figure I can save some time for that + future alts with a little farming on my current main

Yes, empowered monoliths are a big step up from normal monoliths. Stick in empowereds if you can. better drop rates, and you get more favor to throw at prophecies/the bazaar.

Falconer is so good, it kind of makes all the time I spent gearing up my Runemaster to have been totally pointless. I read lots of posts about it but nobody told me it wasn't a boring ranged bow build, it's actually Tal Rasha Meteors from D3 except it's your bird divebombing and flaying everything onscreen. Just found a decent Talons of Valor with 2LP and a very nice exalted helm with Dive Bomb + Dex affixes.

So I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out what the gently caress is going on and I got it now. What was happening is that when Glyph of Intention says  It's actually loving full of poo poo, and the skill still acts partially as if it was channeled by cancelling instantly and not moving you anywhere if you go into the negative mana by casting it.

Can experimental affixes get transferred to legendaries? The wraithlord build wants the "minions teleport with you" affix, and the volatile zombies on potion use, and ward/missing health affixes.

I don’t know if 1.0 changed anything, but when rune master came out in .9, I saw a lot more complaints about sorcerer than spellblade.

gnoma posted:Healing Hands Paladin is currently the strongest version of what you're asking for. It has some slightly tedious buffs to manage but other melee builds kind of do too. Here is a guide for a Vengeance version that also goes over some of the other ways to play it: Thanks for this. I'm only level 21 on my Paladin, and using decent Uniques, so naturally the build feels strong but so far I think I already like the 'flavor' of just heal bombing the poo poo out of everything while I go BONKBONKBONK with my big meaty leveling weapon

gnoma posted:Werebear Swipe is a solid option if you just want to get up in the face of things and be super tanky. Cheaper health regen version. More expensive low life version. Swarmblade can get a bit more damage than Werebear but is a little funkier. The maxroll frostbite build is a good way to go. Why the frostbite swarmblade instead of the lightning one? Been trying to decide between the 2 for my next alt and was leaning storm.

Shaman may be the weakest mastery, but Storm totem is shredding mobs through the story. Given how well the three newest masteries turned out, I’m pretty confident that shaman and other weaker ones will end up in a good place when they take a look at them.

I was leveling weavers items for fun while running empowered monoliths on my VK after a bunch of them dropped with 16+ weavers points and those were just a couple that were garbage for the VK but I kept them anyway. I need to start putting on some of the many pairs of completely unworn boots I've got and see if I can get better affixes on those, although the capped physical resistance from the start of the campaign is certainly very nice!

I really wish one could organize prophecies that you selected instead of just being in order of when you bought it. Have to keep track of them in excel so I can tell which monolith I have most in to focus on at times. vvv speak it! I was only doing corruption 125 and it took me a solid 50 tries on my falconer.

Now that I fully understand how Legendary Potential works, I think it's a really ingenious system to keep uniques relevant while also making good Exalted drops desirable as well. It's actually quite clever how they did it.
