I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

And few questions from a lame dude who has never pushed past gr50

1) I'm using the icy veins build for Invoker but I made some changes because I'm in HC and bad at the game. I swapped out CoE (don't pay enough attention to time my iron skins) and travelers set for unity and ess of Johan, so my rings are justice lantern and unity, amulets are EoJ and poison absorb. Are these changes safe? I feel like I am safer now in T11 than I was before but don't know what to expect going forward.

2) I also opted to drop Fervor for a cheat death. Should I drop something else instead?

3) Are there guides for farming after you have normal versions of all your build's gear? Like how to best farm/craft ancient and primal gear? Not sure how I can upgrade myself going further.

Thanks for the tips, I will try everything out. I suspect I might have just chosen the wrong class/build for watching Netflix if I have to pay attention to CoE cycles. What are the laziest builds right now?

I only play HC and I often drink when I play because that combination is the only time I feel alive

I fixed my Invoker build with advice from this thread (and finally getting a compass rose) and beat gr70 with a lot of time to spare. I was very squishy, though. In SC I'm sure I could have pushed even further but I didn't want to risk it in HC. Now that I've knocked that off my bucket list I'm eyeballing Wizard since Vyrs looks pretty brainless?

I would push further with optimizing my Invoker but gambling for ancient legendaries feels like it takes way too loving long.

I just want the most brainless in any class and my friend said vyrs was popping 3 10-min buffs, teleporting around and right clicking. I trust you though

Edit: yeah I have all my legs and cubes and stuff. My gems are underleveled though. Boyarsky is 65, other two got to like 45 before I decided to make a gem of ease for an alt

Pig Sticker MH, according to icy veins. No unity, I use justice lantern and compass rose for jewelry. Honestly my build is a carbon copy of icy veins just with finery dropped for a cheat death. Maybe using rubies is my mistake?

Bust Rodd your advice directly contradicts what others have been saying in this thread though :( it's not a big deal either way because the gist of my post was that I'm happy having hit gr70 and am ready to roll another lady.

It's cool to not like HC but stress and disappointment are not things I feel when I die. More like... satisfaction at a death well earned. Fetch me another mead and we shall mourn now, for life begins anew in but a few clicks, brothers and sisters!

I should sit down and make a list for fun sometime. I remember legendaries were both rare (hours between drops) and useless (which meant we called them shitbeams). Instead of drops scaling automatically to your level, they were based in what act you were in. Better stuff dropped from A4 than anywhere else, and you pretty much needed that poo poo to be able to progress past A2. Even the first area of A2 was a brick wall, which meant a lot of us were relegated to killing jail warden guy/butcher over and over again. Looking back, I cannot believe I put up with it. Drugs let you deal with a lot I guess.

Oh and since yellows were your best chance at an upgrade you had to pick em all up and hoped they rolled high ranges of exactly all the stats you needed. Woo!

How many times can you augment? Does it stack or does it get replaced?

Hit 70 on my HC necromancer alt and have 2 pcs of inarius. Shooting for lazy storm but even while just using cursed scythe and bone armor, it feels fun and tanky. It probably has that I got all my cube stuff while leveling and was able to forge my weapon.

You can also do fun things with legendaries on followers, like wearing unities and then giving them the "cannot die" relic so you have permanent 50% damage reduction. Or give him an oculus and let him spawn little damage boosting zones for you. There's probably more but im kinda new to not being a filthy casual

I noticed whimsyshire has been buffed to actually drop a lot of poo poo since I last played. What is the appeal of the cow level? Just seems like another regular old zone.

I want to try em on my HC Invoker but I'm only at GR70 in my push build.

Primals, do they unlock for all my seasonal HC characters when I beat GR70, or just that one character? I remember the unlock is separated by seasons and hardcore/softcore.

Is there a place where I can find all this math? Now that I'm not getting an upgrade every couple days, I'd be interested to see how long I can expect to see ancients of my preferred set from Kadala. Probably too long and I'll probably just roll a 3rd alt after I beat gr70 with lazynecro.

that's why I don't hc. i can stand loving up and losing all that time if it's my fault but if a lag spike killed me i'd be bent

"Losing time" isn't something I ever feel. The time I spend playing the game is fun, so it's time well spent. I am investing time in the experience of playing the game, not having a character.

I understand deriving fun from steady and permanent character progression and I think it's totally valid to enjoy that part. But ppl playing hardcore probably aren't as into that and that's all I'm trying to point out

It's a real fun game. I switch between seasonal HC and nonseason SC depending on what kind of progression I'm in the mood for. Usually I burn out after a couple weeks but I've played almost every day since the new season started and still love it

Will the Oculus ring buff field also buff DOTs on things I've hit? Or they snapshot when applied?

I feel like I've been clearing faster when I DOT everything up and then stand in the field for three seconds, but I've also gotten some gear upgrades the past day or two.

It's so ludicrously unlikely but it happens. Sucks when it's season start

I got the Barb bracers and some generic legendary shoulders but they were level 16, I thought they would be level 1? Did I screw up, like I should've lowered the difficulty or something?
