Rolled a Necro and hit level 41 and got my horse. Not entirely sure I like my bone spear Necro build though. It's pretty corpse dependent. I can throw like 3 spears before I'm frantically trying to corpse explode to get mana back, which makes bosses without adds feel like a chore. I assume at some point I can gear him out of essence problems, but I half want to just start over now that I unlocked the horsey account wide

Impermanent posted:There's an ability that makes bone attack crits make your essence rregen faster in the north part of the starting area That would definitely help. I have tons of stuff to do more damage per hit, but have not grabbed this I'm also in kind of a lovely spot essence wise where they have started to require some legendary crafting material you get from salvaging legendaries to craft new items, but I haven't got any of those from the legendaries I've tried to trash so I assume there is a level requirement or something

I got up to WT3 / level 51 with my Bone Spear necro, and he's pretty OK, but I jumped over to play a penetrating shot rogue up to 20ish and I think he just feels better to me for being basically the same line enemies up and snipe gameplay. The constant move speed buff on shroud of shadows is great. Of course, on the rogue I skipped the campaign and have had 2 aspects equipped since like level 8, so that helps quite a bit.

I'm just getting around to jumping through the hoops to put this on the steam deck. What's a good build to play with a controller? right now on PC I'm running ranged builds that require a lot of aiming which seems less than ideal.

I got my first unique item. Gloves that make the corpses run towards enemies before exploding and do additional corpse explosion damage. They are pretty fun but don't change a ton in my build. I still don't really think corpse explosion is viable as a primary damage dealer. I do have a build guide question for you all. Virtually none of the maxroll build guides put any extra points into the basic skills and keep them at 1/5 with 1 or 2 enhancements. In my experience every class ends up having to cast the basics quite a bit (except maybe Necro relying on corpse explosions but bosses still end up needing some basic spam so far in t3). Is the damage per extra point just mathematically awful on them? It's kind of odd to me that the min max way to play is to put 1 point into each skill except for your one big DPS skill and then take virtually every passive.

Dameius posted:D3 hyper streamlined that loop and people still hate it. If there is a thing I don't love about D4 it's that I'm like 25 hours in at level 53 and can't just melt whole rooms of dudes at once with any regularity. In D3 I'd be rocking in GR 100+ by this point, but I remember back in the beginning where it was very slow also. Every ARPG game they want to make the combat have mechanics and be hard and then slowly realize people just want to fill the screen with explosions and collect better and better loot faster and faster.

H110Hawk posted:Whew 89 pages in a week. It runs great after a bit of weirdness to get it set up. The controls are just like console controls. I don't love it for my bone spear Necro because I want too much aim control for both spear lineup and which corpse I'm exploding, but I'm playing a flurry rogue on the steam deck and it's great for that. I am only getting about 2 hours of battery life out of it before I have to plug it in, which is not great but kind of on par with performance in other AAA games Substandard fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jun 8, 2023 |

H110Hawk posted:I have about 2 hours of playtime in a given night so that works out. You have direct control over the character with the left stick, which is probably better than click to move for getting out of poison and poo poo without accidentally clicking on an enemy, but I find it harder to aim attacks that require a bunch of precision, so I tend to like more aoe or melee stuff with the controller, and then it's just a button for each of the 6 skills and you can remap those to your liking. It's pretty good though and if your aren't a huge mouse and keyboard snob any class or build works well enough

I started on WT2 and became fairly certain that it took more than 20% longer to clear stuff because of the big health increases on bosses and elites. I ended up playing WT1 until like 48 then turning it to WT2 to run the capstone dungeon, then immediately turning it up to WT3 so I could get unique drops. WT2 seems pointless and provides very little benefit unless you like it

Dr. VooDoo posted:So what classes are people finding the most fun to play? I’ve almost always run Barbarian followed by wizard/sorcerer so I’m trying Necromancer to break out of my usuals. I’m only level 18 but I’m just not feeling the click like I would with blowing poo poo up with magic or the meaty thump of sending bones hurtling into the sun with Barbarian I played a bone spear necro up into the 50s , and he is pretty good, but I'm probably having more fun playing a flurry rogue who I've got up into the 30s already. Mostly because they can run very fast and flurry with the 360 degree essence is pretty fun.

McCoy Pauley posted:Respec'ing isn't prohibitively expensive, even as I'm levelling up and just playing with different rogue builds in the mid-30s as different legendaries drop, but it is getting to the point where fully respec'ing all skills is a noticeable chunk of change and it often seems easier just to wipe the slate clean than to dink around with refunding one point to add it somewhere else, then run into the problem that pulling a point at one tier would upset a later tier so you can't just do it as directly as you want and instead so some Tower of Hanoi like reshuffling of points. It would be better if you could just pull points and put them back in and the game didn't check that tier unlocks made sense until you were done reshuffling. At some point they had some exec give an interview where he said they wanted respeccing to be prohibitively expensive over time, so you would just roll a new character instead of respeccing. It seems to just cost a set amount based on your level and I haven't noticed it increasing the more I use it, so hopefully this was a terrible idea that is in the dustbin of history.

Edgemaster's Aspect was used by the vast majority of builds, definitely bone spear necros and arc lash sorcerers and flurry rogues, etc. It seems crazy that there is something so broken about it they need to turn it off.

Kripp makes a decent point that it takes so long to level that most players will only be at level 60-70 when S1 hits in July and then immediately have to start over and do everything again without ever really getting to the end game. It's a good video and I think a lot of the issues he puts out are true, but it's still fun and presumably they will fix some of the stuff.

I did the capstone dungeon at 44 with my rogue, but unfortunately I can't really do much in tier 3 because everything is 53+ and I can't actually equip most of the good gear. So I guess I'm back down to tier 2 for a couple levels

I surpassed my necro with my rogue today. only 3/4 through 51, but he's coming along and rolling in tier 3 pretty easily now. I've yet to see a unique on him, which is weird because I'd found 3 or 4 on the necro by this point. I keep thinking at some point I'm going to switch back to penetrating shot, but I'm having lots of fun with flurry at the moment. I'm kind of torn between trying to move into the actual "end game" or just leveling the other classes up and getting a feel for what I want to play in S1 before that launches. I already am a bit annoyed by the aspect thing. I wish you could just keep extracting them from their new items for increasing amounts of cash or something.

Also, I think I know the answer to this, but there is not a way to up the ilvl of an item is there? Like I've got sacred stuff in the upper 600s in every slot, so at this point I'm not wrong to think that anything without the sacred or unique tag is 100% vendor or extraction trash? Outside of just the blacksmith improvements which don't seem like they are enough levels for the regular stuff to come close

The interesting thing about early WT3 to me is that I did the capstone at like 45, and WT3 doesn't start scaling until 53, so every level I get more powerful at this point (I'm 51 now). It's a weird change from the rest of the game where you slowly get less powerful every time you level up due to mob scaling. I assume this happens again if you do the next capstone early as well.

I don't understand why nightmare dungeons are supposedly worse than regular dungeons for leveling. They seem to be the same thing with an additional enemy affix? Is it just because the specific dungeons that can have nightmare sigils are not efficient? on a related note, how do I get higher tier nightmare dungeons? I'm level 52 and am only getting tier 1 stuff to drop. I kind of figured I'd get tier 2 sigils from running teir 1 dungeons, etc. but apparently that is not the case. Do I just need to level up?

I complained last night about getting no uniques, and I logged in and did a cellar first thing before work today where the butcher jumped me. He dropped a unique dagger that gives +40% damage to core skills if you have 3 combo points and a 30% chance for basic attacks to give 3 combo points. As a flurry rogue this is amazing. Complaining on the Internet works!

I need to try to finish mastery this weekend, but I've kind of screwed myself in that I did the campaign and a bunch of sidequests on my necro but then abandoned him to switch to a rogue and collected the altars and did a crap ton of dungeons on him, and that is not enough to get to level 4 with 0 sidequests completed. So I guess I have to either do some sidequests on the rogue or go back to the necro and re-collect all the lillith statues.
