Is this actually decent? I love me some Minions. I do take issue with necro having 0 movement skills, that's kinda lame

should i be levelling my active skills or mostly passives? i smashed through wt2 with zero issues as a wotb barb with one point in each chosen active (plus the sub-abilities) but i'm wondering if i should respec and focus up?

What's the deal with the bug where you zone into a new map section, and teleporting to the end instantly?

Zoned into a cave and I was instantly at the end.

It's a wonder that we're giving D4 the time of day after the Diablo Immortal trash fire. And the string of Blizzard's other recent failures. I heard Dragonflight was ok but I dunno I don't play MMOs.

So I'm like 24 and have been playing in WT1. I switched to 2 and joined my friend's game last night. I beat the the Druid city stronghold Tul Whatever in WT1, but it reverted back to it's original status in my friend's game. Is this because I switched WTs or because he hadn't done that in his game?

i love the one dungeon that has a healing cauldron that you have to use to trigger the mob but if you're at full health you can't use it so they just straight up place a spike trap right under that clips through it

i can imagine some dev going "eh good enough ship it"

When a weapon gives +Vulnerable % below the line, does it apply only to attacks from that weapon, or any attack/spell you do?

At wow launch (back in 2004 or whatever) their concern was that every class has at least one viable build

Maybe that is their strategy on release

I think this game is fun

Yes and if you gently caress up your Paragon boards, youre going to be doing a fraction of the damage or be needlessly squishy at higher lvls.

EVERY TIME GOING posted:

You can mess up late game by choosing worthless Paragon boards just for its unique, not taking the shortest paths to magic/rare nodes that aren't useless for your current build while also making your way towards attaching the next one. Their attachment order matters in how much of each stat the rare node Bonus prerequsite costs. Some unrelated boards might even have a few nodes in the corner that augment your build, so its attachment orientation very much matters.

EVERY TIME GOING posted:

Well I recently got a chievi for spending 100 points and it's about non-decreasing 4.5k gold to refund a single point, so do the math.

Propaganda Hour posted:

The cost of refund scales depending on how many total points you have earned. I'm level 54 right now and the cost to switch paragon points on my only board is 4 gold. Between 50 and 54 it was free.

Can I get a source on "it's not intentional" because unless I see otherwise, the passive that prevents your minions from dying instantly at certain percentages of health makes me think it is.

Is that number "Attack Power"?

Dr. Mantis Toboggan posted:

No not really. It's a lot like d3 in the sense that endgame gearing consists of finding better-rolled versions of legendary powers or uniques that you already have, except in this case you can get a guaranteed minimum roll of most of your legendary powers just by doing a dungeon. The renown stuff feels tacked on to inflate how much gameplay is actually there. And yeah, most specs' combat is cool down and generator/spender based. It's ultimately a pretty shallow game.

That being said, it is in a way better starting state than d3 was. The game does feel pretty good to play and I think they have the base for a great game, hopefully they flesh it out over time with better balancing, itemization, QOL features, and activities.

M. Night Skymall posted:

I dunno I'm almost level 80 and found the grind to level 5 renown in each zone far more unpleasant. I mean yeah it's shorter than getting 80, but very little of it was poo poo I actually wanted to do.

My biggest problem with the game now is my gear is done enough that upgrades are very small, so it feels like my only path to player power is to get levels/level up glyphs, which is a pretty slow process. It's not a huge problem or anything, but I feel like there's a lot of room for improvement.

Miftan posted:

I guess the issue is that it's never stated HOW. I definitely got that since my main thought throughout was "why is everyone treating Lilith like a villain when she's the only one who cares about sanctuary??" She even tells you it should be you instead of her to lead it because you're human and the dumbass player character still goes "I think mephisto, a prime evil who told me he'll kill me once we're done, is more trustworthy"

Miftan posted:

So is the church of inarius and literally everyone else. Sanctuary is hosed up but only one faction's overall goal isn't "destroy sanctuary and everyone in it" and at the end the wanderer's choice was Lilith or Mephisto and they chose.. poorly. Jury still out on in Nyrele is dumber or not based on what the next story content we get reveals.

Doomykins posted:

Lilith demonstrates repeatedly, and states directly(the part about the strong will survive), that she cares about Sanctuary but only the way she wants it, willing to butcher untold numbers of innocents to end up with the nephalem hell cult at her beck and call that will break the conflict. Conveniently the Eternal Conflict would be broken if she won it by stomping out the rest of Hell. She cares about Sanctuary but she has warped morality.

The HOW is that she eats Mephisto, removing 1/3 the threat, and elevating herself to Prime Evil status to contend with the big boys. Then she'll put humanity through a brutal trial by fire, filter the strong survivors into more demonically influenced apex humans and have the PC lead them. She has her motivations and they're clear, she's technically right, but she's a primordial demon and a cruel rear end in a top hat.

The PC doesn't trust Mephisto because they're an idiot, they trust Mephisto because they're in a bad corner between two equally terrible demonic powers and one is offering to help shank the other, as well as Mephisto providing assistance where we'd fail without it. The PC/Nyrelle state as much. Mephisto even tells you as much and admits that he'll reform and challenge you eventually because he's an immortal thinking in the long term and actually shows a bit of respect for you. He knows you'll make the choice with that in mind and his only true concern is that Lilith will consume him and give him a true death. Then you/Nyrelle shard Mephisto to try and pull one over on both, though this makes things a bit silly since the true answer all along was just "the PC kicks Lilth's rear end", but video game storytelling problems.

It's not a world class story but a lot of these individual elements are usually butchered horribly in video game stories to the point of being very irritating(how many times have you played a game where an entity like Mephisto helps you but it just covers a lovely plothole, or they never really needed you, or..) so it's nice they stuck so many little landings, even after the crunch made them stumble a few times.

This...thread? and that skill graph and from my own time playing sorc and rogue seems like to be successful you're building around

Barb: ww or hota
Necro: blight corpse explosion and/or bone spear
Sorc: ice shards or arc lash
Rogue: twisting blades or flurry
...ngl I haven't paid attention to druid at all

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

Orange Crush Rush posted:

I think the main issue with Necro is that in high T4 dungeons, the game turns into “keep your unstoppables handy or get CC’d to death” which Necro has incredibly limited answers too.
I kind of wonder if the devs thought having minions hold aggro would be the answer to this but it seems they are really, really not great at doing that in T4.

Honestly only one town needs to be not bad. Let the capital cities be big sprawling messes. Give me a hub in the middle of nowhere where all the good poo poo is 5 steps away.

Whoever put out the tip to do Helltides in wt3 but open chests in wt4 is a genius (assuming it works).
