Toady posted:I remember being totally bored with loot. Combat felt as good as it does now, but it wasn't very rewarding. That's what made vanilla bad; it was just boring to play after a short while. Yep. Because of the auction house being a thing they had to insanely tone down loot drops, so there wasn't really a carrot on the end of the stick. And of course if you did get a great drop you had to pray that it would actually have the right mainstat on it.

What's the ~optimal~ playstyle for the new DH set? I thought that I would be proccing both primary and spending stuff just from using strafe but noticed that it doesn't. Do you just stop every few seconds to fire off some arrows before going back to zoomies? Also after being stingy for god knows how many shards I finally got a hunter's wrath from Kadala, and then immediately after another one dropped. One had 70 more dex but like 20% less bonus damage, I assume the dex increase is not worth the loss of bonus damage? IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jul 6, 2020 |

exquisite tea posted:This isn't obvious at first but you need Valla's Bequest to keep up Momentum stacks, the extra pierce on Strafe greatly improves the proc rate. wait, so the strafe pierce will also work on the hungering arrows? Does that matter when I have the cubed quiver?

Mind over Matter posted:Fair. But I'm asking "How/why does that work, what does Strafe piercing change about Momentum at all?" Yeah this is where I'm at as well. Saying that the item helps keep momentum up without saying why when strafing doesn't do it in the first place doesn't help much.

KenBearlLOLOL posted:Strafe piercing won't change anything about momentum stacks because projectiles from the 4p GoD bonus don't give you Momentum stacks even if they come from a pierced Strafe projectile, but Valla's does do something useful: since the 4p GoD bonus that fires off generators has a 9 frame internal cooldown and triggers on one of your Strafe projectiles hitting an enemy, if you end up with a 7 or 8 frame Strafe breakpoint (1.66-2.13 aps iirc) the Valla pierces' delayed damage (or rockets from that strafe rune) can add in 4p GoD triggers when you otherwise wouldn't get them. There's a big text dump translated from the chinese d163 forums that goes into further detail, and Wudijo has a couple videos that discuss it as well. This went way over my head and I think I'm gonna just keep using the other one that lets me do the ice path strafe rune because it gives my strafe the movespeed one too.

Pinball Jizzard posted:On another note, GoD is insane. Before this season I’ve only ever cleared up to maybe 75? Currently I’m at 104 and speed clearing 95’s (3 min rifts) to level up my gems. My 104 was a 9m clear using gems at 84/84/26 (taeguk/primary skill damage/stricken). It’s absolutely insane. Agree completely. My weapons are poo poo (Dawn and Fortress at like 2500 dps each) but I'm still up to GR 90 cleared with like half the timer left.

Kheldarn posted:After playing Spinnyboi Demon Hunter, WhirlRend Barbarian feels sooooo slow. Good to know, thanks. I've only seen two primals so far, the freebie was the GoD Boots and the second was the immortal templar relic (lame but thank god it wasn't the all skills one so I'll count that blessing at least), and I've been spending all my shards on 1h weapons in a desperate attempt to at least get an ancient crossbow so I can do more damage. I've got plenty of crafting mats from some vault runs so I guess I'll start throwing all the rares she gives me into the cube as well.

McLarenF1 posted:Yes I had to switch from Vallas to Fortress (luckily I have ancients for both, as well as my Dawn) when we started pushing to GR100 for the survivability. When we went back down to GR90 speed clears I just kept using it. Switching to an Oculus ring in the cube helped balance out the needed higher damage output. I'm gonna try to push to 100 tonight I think just to see if I can actually pull it off with these weapons. I cleared 96 today with just under 5 minutes remaining but lost a lot of time to three or four deaths + having to run back to town to repair because I forgot to do it before I started so if I can clean it up I can probably clear 97 fast enough to skip to 99. Being able to do that with this gear is pretty disgusting, tbqh. https://us.diablo3.com/en/profile/IcePhoenix-1374/hero/123064569

bamhand posted:Was it moved speed you rolled off your boots? I think that would still be better than strafe. Regen. I could roll for move speed but I've gotten decent and just firing off an arrow or two to keep my move speed up higher than I need it to be so I'm happy with the armor.

bamhand posted:I meant just about anything would have been better than keeping the Strafe damage. Move Speed was the only thing that was technically "worse" if you're too lazy to adjust paragon move speed when you swap gear. I'm always strafing so I'll take the chip damage over the regen (worthless) or move speed (pointless) I guess  Really though like you said, they're all bad so it really doesn't matter.

Dameius posted:Rolling strafe off, keeping movespeed on and off setting the paragon from ms to dex would give you astronomically more chip damage than what the affix would while also giving you an actual defense boost at the same time.

I was complaining about my weapons being trash because they aren't even ancient and laughing that even with that I'm still probably gonna be able to push past GR 100. exquisite tea posted:In this specific situation you would reduce your movespeed from Paragon and add it into Dex while wearing the boots. Yes but in that specific situation my movespeed paragon points won't be at 50/50 anymore and that's unacceptable.

Are paragon levels calculated differently between season and non-season characters? Because my seasonal DH passed my non-seasonal characters paragon level tonight in roughly 5% of the playtime. Although that's probably a little skewed by all the time I played before reaper came out I guess. I also managed to complete GR 100 still not having an ancient weapon  Think I'm just gonna spam farm GR 85 or so in my quest for one.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:I don't know if the actual experience provided has changed along the way, but currently GR85 is like 15x the experience of GR45. It's easy to imagine how someone might blow by previous experience, especially if it's pre-expansion. I've played a couple seasons post-expansion but in looking through my previous characters it looks like the highest GR I ever got to was 75 so there it is.

I finally got a weapon, what should I roll off on it? At first I thought maybe try to get the damage closer to 1700 but maybe the LPH for CDR or Area Damage? before anyone says anything about adding a socket to the one I'm currently using: I had five at the time and I currently have six. I didn't waste one.

bamhand posted:Def roll off the LPH. I would take CDR or AD depending on if you have 100% vengeance uptime or not. McLarenF1 posted:Agreed and especially if you're also running Fortress Ballista, because then the shield will negate the bed for LPH. Another benefit of running Fortress Ballista is you can run Squirts without taking additional damage since shield damage doesn't count against it, only life. Thanks. I'm close to 100% uptime but probably won't be there yet since I'll be losing a bit of cdr by switching the weapons. Still, at least I've got a big uptick in damage now.

Cyrano4747 posted:I'll say it again, gently caress the online forever. Non-instanced loot just makes it a non-starter. Offline is a ton of fun though. Yeah non-instanced loot just makes d2 a single player game for me which kinda sucks because running around in d2 with friends is a ton of fun. Whereas in d3 you can also do that and have a ton of fun with no caveats because all the loot that drops is just yours.

Suburban Dad posted:Closest thing I can think of is No man's sky even though it's done by a pretty small team. Wasn't great at release and they turned it around and have made it into something great. All for just the base game cost. But a big corporation would usually just abandon it like Anthem. No Man's Sky is also a passion project by the lead dev so continuing to stick with it past the release date his publisher made him push it out on wasn't really a tough choice when they made enough money on the initial sales to support it

Lid posted:Well in D3 sets are required for builds and non set LoD builds while sometimes better are so impossible to get to without effort vs D2 where all but like one set are useless and thus built around unique. It's likely they're trying to find a medium and entirely failing. Runes are probably just as important as uniques in d2 so your point about their failure is even more valid
