This isn’t viable end game lol nice try. Also enjoying how abija basically only post here to reply to me what a nolife loser lmao.
I get triggered by autistic retards with no perspective. Still haven't defined end game btw.
He doesn't know anything about the game. Dude thinks you should be wasting one of your enchantment slots on a basic skill. Just ignore the retard.

Officially done with Penetrating Shot. Got whooped by the World Tier 3 boss, switched to Rapid Fire, then raped him faster than your mom at the million man march. Also found a neat item-only aspect that allows infinite chaining Poison Imbue.

As for the story:

What the fuck was that?

I guess it was an ending. Kind of. But cliffhangers are dumb unless the sequel is already being made and has an iron-clad outline. Since that is almost never the case this is another dumb example of Mystery Box storytelling. I swear that shit is a cancer that is rotting everything in media. If there's anything to be learned from Bioware or Disney, its that you probably won't be able to finish your own story, and whatever plot threads you left WILL be squandered by whoever does.

I did like the capstone dungeon. "Oh the good guys declared me a heretic, I guess I'll go murder them all." Really proving them wrong there aren't we? To be fair to the Cathedral, it's not like imprisoning demons in soulstones has ever worked out before. The games have never been clear what the difference between killing a demon vs. imprisoning it is, since they always come back either way. Not that it matters. Its really clear the story was cut to ribbons and stitched back together many times. There's no blatant reason for Lorath to offer himself to the Hall of Heads just to find Lilith when a huge army is on their way to get her at the same time. Andarial and Durial were also poorly set up and there's no clear reason why they are even in the story. Seems like a plot element that was mostly cut but they had the boss fights made so they kept them anyway.

Finally, how TF can you have a Diablo game without Diablo?

Also, for the dumbass shitting himself over "muh defensive skills" you can get that shit FROM ITEMS. I have two different items that provide a shield and invulnerability for elite fights, no skill slots required. It's how I'm able to run Rogue without "100% needed for all builds" Dash, and why Meta is still dumb.

Do we really need spoiler tags for this? Eh fuck it.
I think that's a lesson they've needed to learn since the beginning of the series. If there's gonna be an expansion. And there is going to be one.
Which adds more endgame, more story and another final boss, it kinda shits on the poor Diablo (or Al Diabolos, I think he's called now, now that's shitting on xir),
cause xe now plays second fiddle to the expansion dude, unless they do some fuckery with uber diablos on Hell endgame... which maybe 5% of the playerbase has the necessary vaccination to see through

I'm not that far with the rogue yet, but I'm still looking for a way to make it all click together. Started with combo points which stacks with a few decent aspects, now thinking about trying respeccing to a semi-endless rain of arrows
(which seems to sync with imbuements, which I am already using), but it also doesn't feel right (takes really long to fire, and you want to stay mobile with this squishy thing).
So far I've been avoiding Rapid Fire because I want something that feels different from ice shard.

He's actually not wrong on this one. Just one point adds burning damage to everything, which isn't a lot in itself, but consistently triggers a whole bunch of shit from the passives:
mana regeneration from Fiery Surge, Critical Strike Damage from Devouring Blaze (I'm actually on a fence if it's worth four points), also a bunch of bonus damage from paragon boards
(Burning Instinct board has a cluster of IIRC total +35% damage to burning enemies, on top of some 20% extra damage to elites).
Not too attractive for a pure fire build, but something to honestly consider for frost and lightning.

Fair enough. I am using a pure fire build. Now if he was arguing about Fire Ball being essential as an enchantment I'd be in agreement. That is basically a requirement.

Good opportunity to you take your own advice and:
before you press reply show some evidence that demonstrates otherwise.
Can't prove a negative retard. It's the other way around.

It's because the game is shallow as fuck so you got literally nothing to talk about besides immediately coming here like a loser the second I post even when I'm not even talking to you.
You think you are being clever but one enhancement slot is permalocked for Fire Bolt and you are stuck with 4 defensives for end game. Again, before you press reply show some evidence that demonstrates otherwise.
I have no idea where you get your information from but you should seek out a different source. Everything that comes out of your mouth is wrong. I know you only played the beta but that is no excuse for the lies and shit coming out of your mouth. You are embarassing yourself. Fire Bolt, a permalocked enchantment, LMAO. You wouldn't get far in this game.
You main sorc and don't even understand why Fire Bolt is permalocked, hahaha. And then you backtrack when your buttbuddy here confirms it, just perfect.

You literally just said you got wrecked in WT3, lol haven't even started in end-game phase and talk about what works.

Bunch of clowns...

I main PYRO sorce you stupid fuck. It would be a complete waste of an enchantment slot for me. And no I still don't agree that it is essential for the other two types of sorce.

Oooooooo they released a new cosmetic for the rogue and for only $12. It's not great but looks cooler than the other ones I guess. I'll get it since I have the spare premium points. I figured there would be more new cosmetics added to the shop being that it's the 4th of July. Some American flag themed cosmetics would have been awesome. Would have paid big money for a red white and blue themed bikini for the Rogue. Hell even a barb with like an american flag cape would have been cool. Such a missed opportunity.

Got my barb to 50 yesterday. That only leaves the druid left, which I have started today. The shitty thing is that at level one he had 10 skill points from the renown b.s. from past characters. I have no self control and maxed out early shit. Druid is now 16 and I'm still one shotin everything with the basic werebear attack (elites maybe 4-6). Makes it difficult to judge this character.

Or my skill choices.

But how does he travel around weighing 400 pounds? Does he have a conjuration skill that let's him summon a forklift to carry his fat ass around? How does that work?

If you ever decide to try druid, do not even look at the female options. Make it a male and give him the most friendliest face possible. Slap on the largest beard available. Name him Santa. It doesn't remove the total disgust, but it helps.

First of all it's called Fire Sorc (pyro? lmao). And it's not about whether your shitty Fire Ball build needs the enchantment it's that is crucial for the good builds. The only exception is Fire Wall build and it's very ineffective at end game even though it has the damage to trudge through that content with it. You should buy a brain instead of more cosmetics.

haven't even started in end-game
Since you refuse to define what you mean, I'll use the traditional definition, which is "the end of the game," aka the main campaign, which I passed and am doing just fine without touching a single meta build. QED.

Start of end-game phase = Reaching WT4. You haven't reached it and it's completely irrelevant what works at WT3, which btw by your own admission you even at that point had to change your fantastic build.


Oh shit see that guys, a youtuber said the game was bad. That's it, pack it in, shows over, everyone stop having fun.

Next up in Saravan's playlist: "Top 5 tips for Skyrim."

Jesus christ, these playground level disses makes me physically cringe. The video breaks down the important parts of an ARPG. Idc if you play the game? Forums are for discussing games.

You have not played the game. All of your knowledge is based off of these dipshit youtubers you jackoff to. I don't know howmany times I have to tell you to SHUT THE FUCK UP! Your opinion will never be taken seriously in here until you actually play the game and know wtf it is you're talking about. Playing the beta and watching youtube videos does not count as playing the game you dancing clown. You are 100% clueless. That is why everybody is making fun of you.

Don't cry too hard. Hey btw, why don't you record another unhinged video of you beating, say, NMD tier10 with your shitty Fire Ball build to show me how great sorc works when you try to deviate from the Fire Bolt enchantment permalock. Wait, you are like lvl 68 or something? Sure got a whole lotta personal experience about the end game lmao.
