One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Ball lighting will be good since you don’t have to wait to level 89 or whatever to finally find the affix that enables the build

I was deadset on starting Rogue this season (even had a name picked out) - but it's looking like the class has had the least attention of the lot, and even Noted Rogue Stan Wudijo believes it's going to be the weakest class this season.

I played sorc at launch, and at the start of S1 and 3 so spose I should try druid or necro

Edit: Okay so it looks like Barrage Rogue is actually going to be a pretty good season starter after all, but drops down to "B-tier" in the end game. Probably will join team Minion Necro regardless.

How TF are you supposed to get a group for this dumb game? I can’t quite kill the bosses solo so I’d just like someone to tag along but I guess that’s not a thing?

Idk but afaict every affix is in your book to start. The only thing you have to find is better ranks . I might be wrong

You still have to unlock them by completing dungeons, and there are still drop-only aspects

I think people got confused by a couple of things:

1) on the PTR if you boosted a character to 100 I believe that added all aspects to your codex
2) the patch notes have a weirdly worded sentence "All Aspects now exist in the Codex of Power", which could be read as you starting with all aspects unlocked. What it actually means is that an extracted aspect as an item no longer exists, they just go straight from being on an item to being in the Codex

Sorry to disappoint

I think 1) is what confused the YouTuber and me

Making me rethink a Bear start. Maybe not. Pulverize is still good even without the affix

I believe pulverize is the free affixes you get while leveling this time so it should be good

A lot of the builds as written assume you can get +x to the same skills on many gear pieces (which you could on the PTR). But some people think that was a mistake that will be shadow nerfed to only have +x to specific skills on specific gear when S4 is live. That could lower the damage on some of the insane builds by about 50% (though still very strong). But it would probably be more interesting to build with than sticking +x to a single skill on everything.

Yeah I can see arguments both ways. Like in the specific case of necro summon mastery ranks, the summon skills are already different to every skill in the game because they don't have ranks and you can't spend points on the skills themselves. So on the face of it 25+ ranks to golem mastery seems crazy, but a typical build focused on a core skill can have 5 points in the skill, +ranks to core skills, +ranks to that specific skill, +ranks to passives that directly buff that skill. Bone spirit, for example, can hit rank 23 but that happens across 3 or 4 affixes with different names.

Just took a look at some of the aspect changes for the first time and hell yeah at putting both warriors and mages on occult dominion. That means 6 extra skellies if it’s on your amulet. I don’t care if the build guides never put it there, more buddies is more fun.

Excitedly scanning the tier list, looking for Companion Druid. Scrolling, scrolling...scrolling.

Well, poo poo.

Still gonna give it a go. With the new Codex system it will be easier to change over to something else when I hit a wall / get frustrated. And I'm thinking Frozen Orb Sorc for HC, but maybe I'll just join the minion Necro hordes.

Curious to see what’s up with the minion-focused battle pass legendaries, seeing as how consensus is that minion necro is already OP.

Same deal with dust devil barbarians suddenly being OP sorcerers and battle pass pushing that build.

Could be fun.

If it’s not changed since PTR, it’s possibly the most OP build.

It's great how many issues the new codex fixes. No more losing a good aspect roll because you thought it was for a build you didn't want to play

You still have to either find and extract a drop only aspect or clear a dungeon for non drop aspects to get access right?
