I read the whole thing. Good job on the new thread!

Thinking I will do my usual static strike max block gladiator to start the new league. Tanky and cheap, and a good way to farm currency for whenever I end up trying a low life cast on crit scorching bear trap chaos storm saboteur, or whatever

I did my usual. Raced up on a guy I was excited about, accumulated a some wealth, then poo poo it all away failing to 6L a chest (rip 600 fuse) . So, now I am starting over. Gunna try that wild strike build I recently linked.

I'm one of those weirdos that would play 7-8 characters a league even when I had to do a 1-4 the times, so a6-10 is nice to have. I'm finally ok admitting that I am an altoholic.

I've spent about 900 fuse not 6 linking my belly this league. So I roll an alt and play it til I'm bored and have a bunch of currency, turn it into fusings, fail, then reroll a new alt. Good thing I love alts!

Also, my leechy wild strike guy was surprisingly successful and super fun. Liked him better than my sunder guy that I started the league with. Highly recommended. But, I'm onto a terminus est crit flicker guy now. Til fuse fail time.

I'll probably try pissing about with Storm Call until I discover that it's actually not fun.

In 3.0 I played a Lightning Tendrils CWC Arc (non-crit) build with Storm Call for single target and it was pretty fun. Spell cascade would make it even better now.

This is the first league in a while where I've been indecisive as to what to play. I was gunna go quad arc totem heiro, but I just did FP totems. Trap changes look fun, maybe arc or bladefall. Good time to give miner another go. Haven't done BV since it was meta and the changes seem nice.

Ehh, gently caress it. Going old school. EQ Jugg.

love that feeling of being in queue for a new league and I still don't know what I'm playing

I've changed my mind so many times and am still undecided. I figure I'll make a snap decision at the character selection screen. Current lean is molten strike Jugg.

Then, knowing me, I'll decide in a day or two that I should have gone with one of the other options and I'll start that one. Repeat til league end, with a desolate atlas and no currency. You'd think I'd have learned not to do that by now.

Ya, same. I slogged through to maps using molten strike all the way up. Geared up for resistance, life, armor, etc. And promptly got my rear end kicked by lab and low tier maps. Idgi either.

So, gently caress it, a5 now with arc totems heiro.

The cool stuff just keeps on dropping. Gunna be a good league.

Can't wait to try the PS4 version too. Did they give a date for PS4 yet? Seems to me they suggested it'd be after the PC launch date, but still in December.

Offensive stats that lower enemy resists are listed like "Attacks with this Weapon Penetrate 30% Elemental Resistances". As listed, your stick gives you that amount of personal resists against those elements. Resists are plentiful on other pieces of gear and you can cap easily without any resists on your weapon(s).

I got impatient and made an Aussie PS account and am downloading it now. Will post trip report.


Edit: leveling as a sunderboi. In A3. The controls are going to take some getting used to. I can see active skill heavy builds suffering from the skill button setup.

Also, targeting the stash or vendors is annoying. Constantly selecting other pcs by accident. And looting while there are mobs around is tricky to target.

All in all, far inferior to PC. No surprise there. But nice to sit in my recliner and play on the TV.

I asked in the PS4 thread but didn’t get many replies. I played too much D3 over the years and I’m feeling the itch. How is the PS4 port?

I played a couple of characters to maps. Compared to pc the major differences are: waaaaay slower load times on console, the trade system (and economy) on console sucks so hard, you can't pick up items in combat, and you wouldnt want to play any build that requires finesse aiming. It's acceptable, and free, but you should never play on console if you have a PC imo.
