hi

I haven't really played this in like 4 years, I only tried it a bit at launch. I installed it recently and it's actually a lot of fun? Anyway, I started again because there was talk of a level sync feature some time ago, is there an ETA for that?

I got a level 55 chain shirt with armor + energy shield thing. It has 4+2 blue slots. What are the chances of rolling 6 links on these things with an orb of fusing? Should I just keep grinding hoping I get a 6L and forget about it?

If you can't afford to buy a 6 link you are generally better off farming a tabula

Yikes.

Ehh, I keep getting poo poo with 6 slots now that I'm high enough level, eventually something will drop with 5 or 6 linked slots. I'm very much not struggling yet, apparently I stumbled into the best witch build (spamming arc everywhere) lol

Speaking of skills and movement, how come there's not a decent diablo clone yet where you can move with buttons/keys and aim with mouse? I'd be really nice to have that simple feature, IMO. Able to move into one direction and cast in the other without swinging the mouse over the drat screen every time.

At least arc just autotargets the closest enemy :v:

Now if only they could fix the log in issues.

clicks login...
...30 seconds later... login failed
clicks login...
multiple logins detected
clicks login..logs in

I have this game on some ancient HDDs, because once it's loaded the difference between hdd and ssd load times is basically 2 seconds and it fits into ram super easily so I don't give a poo poo and my SSD is small and full.

But when you first log in, well, it's not loaded yet, so your game loads for 30 seconds and the connection times out. Mine loads so long I never get multiple logins detected, even. :v:

e: found this on the wiki

quote:

--waitforpreload Wait for preloading to finish during startup. This causes the game to not finish the initial loading screen until it has fully loaded all of the stuff that would otherwise be background-loaded during the first moments of play.
Seems to help a bit, but makes the game load forever on first launch :v:

Character light radius will do nothing in delve, flares and the minecart will provide light.

Instant casts for certain skills is a great idea.

remember posted:

I followed a build guide and it probably took me 20ish hours to run through the campaign, and I found the later acts to be really tough to get through. If someone went in blind I can see that totally being his experience.

I looked around the internet for some ideas, and also brought some ideas from other online games I've played a lot (constitution/vitality is not a dump stat lol) and am currently level 83 I think, and still having fun. I did stumble into the most broken skill in the game right now apparently though, arc is just amazing

I think it's just the sort of game that you either love or hate, depending on how much you like to try out different and stupid things. I absolutely thrived playing stupid builds nobody else considered in ragnarok online and diablo 2, so this is extremely my cup of tea. I think my next build is going to be a melee occultist. :v:

so we're getting all this cool poo poo, wonder what nerfs we're getting that this is buttering us up for.

Personally, I'm still waiting for more details on the new party/downleveling thing. I have a bunch of friends we used to play diablo2 together, but we have vastly differing playtimes these days, so having to run 5 characters to play with everyone would suck. If we could play the same character any time but just join the guy that's the lowest level, that'd own a lot.

I've decided to be my usual dumb self and do the melee witch. I think I'm set on molten strike occultist, but since I'm new and this game is complicated here's a couple questions:

Dual wielding apparently increases the speed at which I can spam attack skills. I think I want to use a shield since there's a lot of energy shield to be had on there, but since claws have life drain on them using two of those might be better? I only managed to get to level 36 with my test char and she never died as long as I kept swinging with two claws, but level 36 is still noob zones so :shrug:

Chaos Inoculation is probably a bitch to build right? Especially at league start?

im really loving this poo poo so far, delve is just a really nice departure from the normal flow of things.

I also really like that I have full control over how much time I spend in it. Alva incursions were awesome, but the temple could take a lot of time to clear during early levels, and not clearing it meant I couldn't run incursions. I've just opened the portals and then ignored them a couple times when I got bad rooms, but it still felt like a waste, here I just pop in and do a couple trips with the cart, and then pop out again.

Being able to move with keys, even if just in 8 directions, would be goddamn amazing for so many builds, compared to swinging the mouse around the screen constantly, but the fanbase will eat you alive if you suggest it because "HAVE YOU PLAYED ARGPS BEFORE DIABLO@ IS THE BEST", and GGG seems to be at the core of that mentality :(

I keep clicking on the crawler trying to pick up poo poo or attack enemies on top of it, I wish there was an option that required holding alt to actually highlight it... I have, in one occasion, clicked on a node and lost a bunch of lovely loot.

Ancestral Call is a support gem. Attack skills that are linked to Ancestral Call will attack two nearby enemies at the same time, automatically selecting valid targets within range for the attacks.
"equipping ancestral call surely won't help me much. after all, molten strike already explodes everything on a single hit, having a bigger cleave isn't going to help too much" *equips ancestral call in place of damage on full life to test it anyway*

:stonklol:

That's a very weird definition of "in range", I figured that'd mean in weapon range, but no. Molten strike lights up the whole screen now lmao. I've gone from fairly easily keeping up with the mine crawler to setting the pace lol

If you’re killing a boss or other single target try standing just outside melee range but inside ancestral range. You get double buddies instead of your single melee

Yeah, I immediately tried that too. Also, makes a few bosses easier to deal with since they use a different set of skills when you're not sitting directly on top of them.

Go deep, focused on Azurite nodes. Play safe, upgrade. You don't want to be off exploring with negative darkness resistance and light radius. Should only take a dozen or so Azurite nodes to cap you out, and give you enough of a buffer that you can either upgrade other things like capacity or save it for when your resistances will drop.

Also, before you hit maps you'll constantly be behind on azurite upgrade because I niko keeps digging the main shaft until depth 7x at least, and you'll want to just branch off that to pick up azurites anyway.

Once main shaft stops extending far faster than you can dig, azurite stops being such a chore.

Also, what exactly does shaping a map do? My beach is tier 6 now, but it still spawns lv68 enemies?

How would I go about pricing a 16% totem damage 14% lightning damage and 12% increased global crit chance jewel? There's nothing like it on the trade site so I'm completely unsure, because arc totems are popular right?

Ok so here's a giant nub question: how much dps and effective health should I be looking for to do the 4th lab?

e: oh, also, I've completely stopped getting trials in maps, am I just unlucky or are they only in specific maps?

e: and cleared on first try, that wasn't too bad. I got close to dying once on the last izaro because I'm dumb, but it didn't seem too bad. Definitely better than my cruel lab attempts, which I needed like 10 because I had no reliable way to refresh shield yet

if you hit a lot (like bv) you could try to get an energy shield gained on hit with discipline eye i guess? you still get on hit effects in the darkness even if things dont die

these might be very expensive i honestly have no idea

low level delves can be cleared super fast and as long as you know where to look (everywhere there's darkness) poo poo seems to pop up pretty regularly.

I'd still just level my darkness resist as far as possible and do it in high level ones though, might as well get other useful drops while doing it, most things are still just chests.

You need a specialized build if you're going to do darkness-diving (or at least NOT a build that uses leech) because the dark-immune monsters won't let you leech. And the higher level monsters hitting you obviously puts pressure on your regen that you're using to overcome the darkness.

OTOH a flare costs 5 azurite. I'm a CI energy shield leech build when my shield goes low I just hit flare and it goes back to full :v:
e: I'm also occultist tho, so that helps a lot in combination with vaal discipline.
