The addition of Haedrigs Gift style rewards to the season journey should make druid levelling a lot smoother

new razorplate looks silly, might try on a minion build minion now get 100% stat inheritance some serious nerfs to barbs most picked paragon nodes and aspects. ~50% to all of charge stuff, all popular capstone paragon nodes, removing several multiplicative sources entirely, chasing some damage sources to be capped instead of uncapped. i wonder if any of it will make a difference

yeah i'm really not sure what i want to play this season necro has a couple minion builds and what looks like a viable blood build sorc has the frozen orb build i think looks cool druid has the big rock build, but still maybe no good rabies build rogue barb has the silly dust devils but i've played a barb at least 3 times now. i guess i'll let a wheel of chance tell me

I was going to do a rogue because I haven't done one yet, but if there's nothing interesting going on there maybe not

Not sure if that’s actually a fun skill to build around. I’ll probably go infinimist necro with skellies if that’s actually good this season.

I think my problem is that I don't think they're fixing much with the announced changes. Maybe you don't like Diablo 4, and should play another game.

They knocked 5 levels off the requirement for Sacred and Ancestral items, so that's another levelling speed up

"here's a bunch of awesome changes, but I'll frame them as unexciting!" if those don't interest you, playing something else is correct, because these changes look cool on paper and played cooler in action on the ptr literally if you don't like them what are you here for? we're a year on from release, the state of the game isn't a mystery revamping the entire item system is a huge change - "lol bliz is big though, where season content?!" have you played any other live service games? (plus lol@the idea of feedback here to begin with, bliz ain't making changes based on the SA Diablo thread, they're making them based on influencers and data)

It's still going to be, "Time to sort through a pile of poo poo and hunt for the base that I can craft into a good item." I was thinking about this recently and I agree with this 100%. A dated example, but I remember playing Champions of Norrath with friends way back and misty globes were a perfect example of an item that would immediately provide a tangible upgrade to your weapon, and it was exciting whenever one would drop. Gems in Diablo 4 being split into fragments takes that same aspect of gameplay and stretches it across hours, so rather than getting this exciting moment where something cool drops, I'm finding I'm just rolling up to the jeweler periodically and putting whatever fragments I have together like I'm doing paperwork.

Haven't kept up with the state of builds season to season. What's likely to be broken and fun? I only really played a storm druid right after launch and everything else was beta stuff so I have no idea what's especially heinous. What have your fav builds been over the last year irrespective of patches, also? Just for something positive.

Developer’s Note: We've received feedback from players that "Cheat Death" mechanics are not desired. The Flame Shield enchantment has been changed to not react to fatal damage, but instead react to taking 100% of your health within a 30 second window. what loving clown rear end player doesn't want a cheat death? (also, lmao that they're STILL trying to make Incinerate desirable)

i do not stream and didn't do HC before D4 except once in D2. i didn't die on any of the characters i intended to take to end game except once on S2 reset under dubious circumstances. the layers of cheat death mechanics made HC into SC, it was not good in its previous implementation given the choice between them redesigning the system or just removing cheats, i'd prefer the removing cheats, as a n=1 non streamer unattended spaghetti posted:Haven't kept up with the state of builds season to season. What's likely to be broken and fun? I only really played a storm druid right after launch and everything else was beta stuff so I have no idea what's especially heinous. tornado barb could still be cool, if not as broken as in PTR. the druid with the big orbiting rock keeps getting buffs so that'll probably be crazy. if not druid has 2-3 other potentially fun builds, maybe even with a small amount of zoo. minionmancer looks chill. necro has had a rough balancing period for minions, tons of broken or useless skills. it seems like they finally did a pass on them so they might be way overtuned or maybe just mindless fun. "shadow surfer" necro, shadow blood wave, looks like it could finally shine. frozen orb and firewall sorc both got tuned back down to reality, ostensibly, but FO still sounds really cool to me. might be what i play for SC for a second character if the new leveling speed is as quick as it sounds. rogue is uh, it doesn't look like they have a firm grasp on what is keeping it from scaling correctly, so the power of any of the builds might not be as high as other classes. with the way they changed stacking some stats, you can no longer do the 100% dodge rogue which would have been a fun strafe (i think it was) call back spec to D3. i think S1 bone spear barber necro has been the most fun for me so far. CE/CT auto cast was also a blast, charge barb was really cool too but came online super late compared to the necro builds.

I feel like if you select the mode that if you die, your character is deleted, you should consider death being a real possibility instead of getting a divine shield and then teleporting out of every dangerous situation.

Is there a way to reliably avoid the bug where whisper tasks flicker in an out of existence, thereby resetting your progress? Or is my best bet to stick to the ones that aren’t affected by it like dungeons.
