Diablo IV

[d1r]

Diablo 4
a game catered to the lowest common denominator of people, and SDG still wants to kill himself after playing it. Really makes you think...

Well Ronja is her cousin. She and Tonja are the only dark haired ones in the bunch.

ERYFKRAD also a swede eh?

Red Sonja, Sad Ronja, and Mad Tonja slay the patriarchy in nothing but chainmail bikinis and body paint.

So much diversity.

The Rogue one is interesting.

I don't touch Shadow Step or Dash though I can see their use, Puncture is so obviously better than the other Basics its kind of a no brainer. There should be a much faster bow basic, the two available are way too slow, and puncture is the only one that lets you inflict Vulnerable on demand.

Poison and Death rap are great but Twisting blades is clunky and awkward to use, doesn't feel good, and gets you killed. People are running it because it has a cooldown reduction effect but it's like .2 seconds per hit. Deathtrap has built-in cooldown reset effect and a key passive that is far more effective. Without Twisting Blades I can still reliably cast Deathtrap -> Poison trap -> Deathtrap continuously.

My results much improved when I went from Rapid fire to Penetrating Shot. It's a middle ground between AoE and single-target damage of Rapid Fire; I wasn't initially impressed with the damage vs. energy cost but Combo Points solves that issue nicely. I've been using Poison Imbuement because its damage scales directly off the underlying hit, so a critical poison 3-combo penetrating shot is quite strong. Now I just need them to add a legendary effect that lets you trigger your whole poison damage early--there are effects like that for Bleed and Burn for other classes.

Barrage is too weak so I'm not surprised no one uses it. I do wish Rapid Fire worked like the old Amazon Strafe (tracking targets), since so much of it's damage often gets ejaculated into the wind.

I suspect the % numbers have a lot to do with the fact that a game like this has millions of casual players, and these days, a large % of those casual players will google a build guide and copypaste it. Hence literally everybody is a whirlwind barb, even though if half of them had run HOTA from the start they'd probably never notice a power drop.

There are certainly a fair number of skills that appear not worthwhile for anybody, especially ultimates and basic skills.

It's from lvl 100 hardcore chars. Quite the opposite of casual. Also why so many builds take almost all defensive skills possible.

sdg is safe then

Diablo 4 Fans Once Again Call for Offline Mode After DDoS Attack Renders Game Unplayable for Hours​

https://www.ign.com/articles/diablo...ddos-attack-renders-game-unplayable-for-hours

Blizzard spent much of Sunday battling a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that rendered Diablo 4 unplayable for hours.

This game should be moved to the MMORPG forums.

Say what you want about how shit an inneffective my build is compared to others, atleast it's unique. I've played over 100 hours and have yet to run into another pure pyro sorce. Basically every skill of mine involves fire except blizzard which I only use as an enchantment passive.

So you're telling us you are... special?

Sorry, missed that - so it's more about what is viable for the specific spectrum of hardcore endgame. Interesting to see WW dominance given HOTA and even Rend builds seem to be pretty strong for non-HC post-lv50 play generally.

There is definitely a tendency for every barb to be "3 shouts + 1 core + Berserker Ult" generally, I think, while most Rogues are taking very similar passives (and probably TB) and pretty much every sorc has Frozen Nova for obvious reasons.

I've threatened them with Aliens.



They WILL add an offline mode.

 

[mediocrepoet]

You should put these in the pictures thread. Then every page could be you and Pompi trying to outcringe one another with your various styles of self absorbed postings.

That ugly nosering needs to go. Thankfully, jewelry options can be altered if you go to the in-game wardrobe.

It fits the goth theme I was going for.

A casual would insist to make a freaking army of dead as necromancer....who cares about pro that do meta.... but when they play even the tooltip warn that some skills are bad.

My sorceress. No cosmetic shop bs. Just in game stuff.
