Who's playing a sorc? What spells and poo poo you guys using I started with frozen orb and it was ok, then j swapped to some arc thing and chain lightning and it is ok, you seem pretty mana starved tho? Haven't had any deaths on veteran or w.e but doesn't seem like screens are exploding like they should be. There aren't many monsters either I'm only level 25 so maybe that's it?

CuddleCryptid posted:I switched from necro to barbarian, didn't really vibe with his lack of survivability at lower levels, and settled on Sorc. Their spells are hitting in ways I was missing with Necro, really enjoying it. Now I just need to figure out how to bring my mana regen way up. If you figure out something good for mana let me know, it feels very limited so far (lvl 40) to spamming ice shards and doing some regen with Frost bolt when I get poor luck on avalanche procs. Better than chain lightning so far for mana but pretty weak on the spell selection. I've been searching for something they may make a blizz/meteor style poo poo potent but haven't found any legendary affix that suits yet.

Sorc needs alot of buffs to poo poo like meteor blizzard orb, there's just no point to waste the limited amount of mana you have on them at this point

explosivo posted:There's a lot of stuff in D4 that makes me think everyone at Blizzard played Lost Ark and said "hey let's do that except make it diabloey" and the statue collect-a-thon is definitely one of them. The quests that have you clicking on various things in a room while your character fiddles with them or running back and forth to talk to two people across the world from one another also reminds me a lot of what it was like rushing through the Lost Ark campaign to get to the endgame stuff. Yeah alot of the campaign quests are time killing filler run around the room clicking poo poo follow some dude through an empty zone etc. Act one seemed better but maybe it was the freshness. I mash escape for everything so I don't know what is going on in the story but I think I'm almost to diablo.

Man the difference in rogue and sorc seems crazy? It's no trouble to do 10 levels ahead zone and just annihilate the screens on rogue, with almost no generator down time to speak of. Super mobile as well

BabelFish posted:It feels like there's something wrong, either with sorc or rogue. I'm barely able to keep up a couple thousand damage ticks as a firewall sorc, meanwhile I see rogues with similar gear doing multiple tens of thousands of damage instantly and just blowing up entire rooms. Yeah man I beat the game and tried out a few different sorc builds (ice shards, chain lightning, firewall, a blizz/meteor thing) and they were all varying levels of "ok" the whole time leveling etc. Bosses took a while but I figured that was the game. A level 20 rogue I made in a half an hour does more damage than my ice shards at 55, it's nuts and rooms just melt. You don't even need to stop sprinting. And what the hell kind of diablo game is this you don't even fight diablo? Some Kerrigan lookin bitch?

Lol I think the victory lap is a bit premature for this one. Everyone loved d3 at first and it sold super well and fast and then it took years and a paid expansion to make it a good game... Alot of the skills sort of just suck in this once you get to the "endgame"

InventorOfTrees posted:The game has a ton of glaring issues, but it is still an absolute delight to play. The longevity of the game absolutely hinges on them expanding/improving existing systems, though. I guess if you enjoyed the campaign and stuff this is a reasonable take, although it's a fairly expensive purchase. I did not like the forced runs through empty areas and weird little pointless parkour sections and poo poo just want to kill monsters but to each their own. I still have a slight bit of hope they may sooner than later go buck wild with uniques and poo poo to open up the rest of the skill tree for using. I'm not really sure how someone played a sorc though even in wt2 and thought yeah these skills and resource management is where the game should be.

neurotech posted:Did you level as hota/deathblow? I have been using charged lightning since I got the piercing staff and arc lash and its been pretty badass. Got some lucky hit increased when barriered, the homing charge, and the piercing staff and use fire bolt and arc lash as enchants. Have another legendary with 6 percent to clear a defensive on being hit, and the skill that gives 5 percent chance on a crit, and the fire spells that give you mana regen and healing while dudes are burning, as well as the barrier spells. It means I'm regen mana quickly all the time using cd's, all my cd's stun, and poo poo is dying fast now. One thing I've noticed is it's giving me "summon kills" for using it, either the explosion from bolt or something is being tagged as summon so I am interested to see if there are any unintended interactions there.

God drat are the lilith shrines annoying. Am I missing something wrt items, picking up rare sacred at level 58 just seems like a waste of time as they're coming with 3 affixes rather than 4, is that a roll as well for number of affixes or are Legendaries getting an extra one by default?

rally posted:Which dungeon is that? I’m about to settle in for a 10 hour poopsock session and would love to maximize my time leveling. Ruins of eridu, West of the veyska??? Wp south part of the map. Just keep running and stop and kill elites, more will spawn on top of you, it's actually really fun and what the entire game should have been like imo. Once you finish phase one of the dungeon just leave dungeon leave game and then open again and it resets. Every two runs you'll have a full inventory to sell, they take about five minutes a run. flashman fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Jun 12, 2023 |

Suprfli6 posted:Couple pages ago but this is wrong I believe. All of the lucky hit mods on gear are multiplicative with whatever your skill's default lucky hit chance is. So whether or not you want to stack lucky hit mods on your items really comes down to what skill you are using since some have a pretty good base chance and others are awful for some reason. Have you got a list handy of lucky hit chance of skills? Specifically sorc

The renown and statue grind is killing me. I've got only one area done for renown and half the statues. Leveling has really hit a wall at 70, the dungeon loop used to take about 7 runs to level and it seems like it has almost doubled now.

I'd love to make a frozen orb build but can't get it to work. I am trying to collect up items to try and make blizzard work somehow. It has a high lucky hit chance it seems so maybe there's some proc options like that, I am still unclear though on what the 45 percent means. Is that 45 percent of hits or of crits? Maybe if pushed lucky hit up used the meteor ability with immobilizing and the aspect that spreads status effects might work? Stack bonus to burning and chilled enemies and use firebolt passive as well. Frostburn gauntlet as well perhaps?

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:Well I finally finished the story as a CL sorc at level 50. Moving to WT3 and I was just getting stomped. Respecced to arc lash but didn't have much success. Respecced to ice shard and feeling a lot better now, particularly with mobs, but single elites still give me a hard time as I just end up kiting forever waiting for cool down on frost nova and for my mana to regen. Currently running with no basic skill. And tips for an early end game sorc? I've read some guides but few seem to address this particular issue which I can see becoming a problem with bosses. Arc lash is really strong even with imprinted codex Legendaries, probably use fire ball and arc lash enchants and fish for some cdr items early so you can spam unstable currents for your damage early. It's pretty boring game play though just cycling defensives and dodging the post death explosions.

Man it seems like they've changed something, ruins of eridu no longer spawning in all the elites like it used to? Why in God's name would they remove the only spot in the game with decent monster density rather than boost it elsewhere? Insane. So what's the next spot to farm for xp/items?

Without having it on every item possible the lucky hit chance for a meteor to drop using blizz hasn't been too bad, generally get a few meteors per pack. Not sure if stacking blizzards is giving me multiple chances to proc or not, hard to tell in game, the blizz and ice spikes (with ice shard enchant) and the amount of freeze is really strong on its own so things melt up to around nm35 so far. Using the chill boots and frostburn gauntlet as well, and with paragon and skills into increased chill its considerable. Took some inspo from the fellow one of y'all posted earlier. Now gonna try to make the lucky hit and freeze work with frozen orb
