I haven't paid any attention to D4 news, has there been any endgame content properly shown off or is it a D3 situation where we get to find out how 'fun' it is when we get there after release?

Sort of, at least one guy got to level 100 / t100 maps in the 10 day reviewer preview but I dont think the level 100 boss was part of the preview and I'm not sure if t100 is the current cap for nightmare dungeons or just the cap for the preview

I only played the first beta weekend, any news or consensus on what the broken as gently caress and lovely as hell classes are at launch?

Barb is evergreen, iirc both the first hardcore diablo kill and the first max level D3 characters were barbs and barb+druid were reportedly the strongest in the endgame beta

Some events are impossible in wt4 nm dungeons even if you're well geared and clearing them easily. Notably frustrating ones:

Any survivor one, they just die instantly to any aoe mob.

I see that one in every other dungeon and just run by, even if it wasn't impossible it's too slow. Sorry lady you were dead anyway

That being said, has anyone seen the grandfather drop or know what level requirements might be?

Well I made it to Elias in the tier 3 capstone dungeon as a level 60 rogue. My damage output isn't an issue at all, but I'm pretty much a glass cannon. They one shot me with everything, along with some elites special abilities.

I really don't know if getting 10 more levels is going to make much of a difference, I seem to be finding an upgrade like once every 10 hours at this point.

iirc the nightmare capstone dungeon is level 70, so leveling should make a big difference - you take a big penalty to the effectiveness of your armor and resists if enemies are higher level than you, even normal enemies are dangerous at +10 and that boss hits pretty hard

Its confusing because its still the same app. Your PoE1 icon changes to PoE2 and you can't play 1 anymore (well you can play the campaign, but many fundamental systems are all going to change). It makes sense in context, the game is going to be hugely altered with all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a sequel, but also all your stuff still has to transfer over because they've spent a decade building up a dedicated player base spending money on microtransactions in a f2p game and they don't want to start from scratch/split the players up.

ohh so its like overwatch 2

You don't need to learn the lingo to run the T1 cinematic leveling experience and hitting the imps with any random stick will finish the campaign. Afterwards if you want to get on the current endgame treadmill, there are only a few viable skill combos that 95% of the gold farmers and internet beggars run because the majority of skills in this game are so anemic they can be considered cosmetic.


That mostly seems right but I'm surprised rend is so much lower than hota, what's this data come from?

As a feral druid before it was cool, bear tank did not have much play. Pre-BC I mostly just farmed LW mats once I hit 60.

The one thing I remember using a druid tank for in vanilla was 4 horsemen, because we were running on fumes by the time we finished naxx and didn't have 8 raid geared warriors

And I guess with the paragon points locked behind 'em, the open world exploration/side quests are a "there is no right or wrong time to do them and there are rewards relevant to any power progression at any point in the game"

That's like... a GOOD thing? I have Bungie Stockholm Syndrome (destiny 2 player) so my brain is trying to reject this possibility of benevolent game design

I think they're fine but I don't want to have to re-do the same side quests every season, hopefully bliz will add more ways to earn renown or just leave them unlocked

Very interesting. The ruleset must be strange on which aspects it affects and which it ignores. As sorc almost all the good aspects are % based, which seems not to change as Zotix mentioned above. I didn't realize flat values could improve.

Yeah it's just inconsistent, some aspects appear to be the same across normal->sacred->legendary and others get much stronger

What happens if you accidentally wander into a pvp area as a HC character? Game over right there?

I think some things you can do in pvp zones make you a lot more visible to other players, like bloodmarking yourself, starting a shard purification ritual or collecting a big pile of shards. If you just run through you might not see anyone at all (though it's certainly still a risk)

Bold Robot posted:

What is the purpose of magic glyphs? There are so few glyph sockets on the paragon boards that I don't understand why you would ever use anything other than a rare.

I'm guessing they're vestigial to an older version of the endgame, maybe rare glyphs were originally supposed to be way rarer.

Turns out that if you are standing inside the invulnerability bubble at the end of a NM dungeon and teleport to town, environmental damage effects somehow can still kill your character if the loading screen bugs out – some streamer lost a L91 HC druid to this earlier. Pretty wild that this can happen at all.

I think all the major streamer deaths so far have been server issues/bugs other than the guy who died to uber lilith

So whats the deal with Suppresion elites?
Why do they have a weirdly high amount of health sometimes, and others they just melt super fast? I thought their gimmick was just the projectile shield.

are you using whirlwind? iirc channeled abilities like whirlwind snapshot your position for the purpose of the shield, so if you start channeling outside the shield then move inside the shield it will keep blocking you because your attacks "originated" outside the shield

Regular uniques, not so rare. Late game you'll probably see one every 1-2 nightmare dungeons, helltides drop a lot. I killed the helltide bug twice yesterday and it dropped a unique both times

the six chase uniques are mega rare, like Zod rune/mirror of kalandra rare, and only drop from 85+ monsters, and afaik they're currently disabled entirely

edit: looks like they were just re-enabled a little while ago
