Are you serious? The boss of the capstone dungeon (Elias) is way to difficult for a sub-60 char. I tried it the first time at Lv.63 and was taking way too much damage. Went back at Lv.66 and although I made it, it was still very tough.
Depends a lot on class/build/gear.

I watched the video about the season, lets see if I understood about this seasonal stuff...
Step 01: You kill generic mob with special VFX on, not new mob with new behaviors, mind you, just new VFX
Step 02: You kill the same mob again but stronger
Step 03: You get a caged heart.
Step 04: You slot caged heart to gain power.
Step 05: You farm those caged hearts but no new tough content where those hearts might be actually useful for something during the season.
Step 06: Season ends
Step 07: All the hearts you farmed disappear even from your Eternal Realm character.

The question I ask is why? This seems like a hamster wheel without even the cheese. There are some youtubers coping hard with retarded shit like "It is about the journey not the destination", nigga, killing the same shit but with temporary equipment isnt a journey. What is bizarre because the Eternal Realm stuff, isnt it supposedly be the place you dump the players broken builds so they dont destroy the game balance in time? What is the point of it then if you are going to delete those builds anyway?

You can thank Path of Exile and any other game that hopped on this "delete everything and start over" train. They've been doing that for a minute and the retarded NPCs we call modern gay-mers seem to just love stepping back on that hamster wheel as most hamsters tend to do... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Difference being that unlike Dogshit4 seasons had a purpose in PoE by resetting the economy so you could catch up with all the nolifers. It was especially useful in HC to find valuable items early game to trade yourself up without grinding to death.

Yep, iirc there's some armor modifier applied for more extreme level differences.
lmfao
I don't think this is bad game design. A level 57 getting pumped up like senial old grandpa bones and trying to pick fights with level 70+ enemies in endgame should stand absolutely no chance. He should get wrecked regardless of how well he could throw down back in the 1970s. That's just how real life works.

Anyways I'm getting tired of seeing rapid fire rogues.

Two ways to achieve this, good design or auto-scaling. Plus there should always be ways to nigger the system in some way, shape or form because if not everyone is just going through the motions in their chosen direction (for PvE games anyway) and scaling usually highly limits or outright blocks this. Auto-scaling is shit.

All I see are twisting blade rogues
Maybe that's what I'm describing. I haven't researched the other classes and their builds enough to know the proper terminology.

Almost lvl 70 + Druid is the worst class in the game, and fat.



I'll just leave this here...

Please take every Youtube vid and "hot take" as gospel on the internet. They are always right and definitely not totally subjective.

That Moxsy guy sounds like a special type of no lifer and most people aren't capable of doing that. In my experience Druids are ass and all the cool kid high dps dealers are Rogues.

Well, Lord knows your game analysis is in depth and spot on.
I just don't take gaming seriously enough as a hobby to go that in depth. It's ultimately an activity primarily taken part in by the lowest form of degenerates, and don't even get me started on people who make a career out of discussing them. I like them and sometimes I like talking about them but it's not something worth putting alot of effort into.

Unlike all your other high-class activities, right?

Here we go again. People always accuse me of making everything about me but here's a perfect example of me trying to talk about the game and people start talking about me instead. Let's keep the discussion about Diablo 4 please and thanks.

It's just odd that the biggest d4 fanboy on the forum who spends real money to dress up their digital princess doll would turn around and complain about others being obsessed with the game.

In any case, maybe the meta-tards finally realized the potential of stacking damage boosters instead of core skill spam. i dont know high level builds for any class really, im playing the game blind. Every Sorc I see is an ice Sorc so it's possible the fire build is just bad, but kudos to you for sticking with a playstyle you like vs one that wins fights.

I've won plenty of of fights. I'm lvl 70 after all and now in endgame. Yes pyro sorc is considered weak in fag meta circles and I don't care. It's the build I chose upon release and it's the build I'm sticking with. It's effective enough. Pyro sorc is all about wide area damage build up and not so much one-shotting things. I feel like I built her as smart as I possibly could have by beefing up her movement speed to max and giving her 4 evade charges. It's not difficult for me to dance around mobs and burn them to the ground.

I'm really hurting for a serpentine aspect. Anybody got a legendary with it they wanna give me? I have the perfect amulet to give my flame hydras a massive buff but I need that aspect or it's pointless. Having a hell of a time finding it. I have it on my current amulet but it's imprinted so I can't extract it (thanks for letting me know about that Blizzard, you stupid fucks)

Legendary items and aspects aren't tradable.

This one drops every now and then for me (think I saw at least four or five), best bet is probably grind some obols and dump them on something that can spawn it
(i think this one can spawn on anything, so try it with whatever's cheapest). You can pair it with running hidden chests in Helltides (they always drop a bunch of legendaries),
alternating with PvP - drops are good and it's easy to get obols and tree whispers along with it.

You can't even join a person's party and drop it on the ground for them?

Yeah I've been doing the obols thing, plus sort of trying to do helltides and tree of whispers stuff at the same time. Haven't had any luck thus far. I looked it up and there's a few pieces of gear it doesn't appear on. Head, chest, and leg pieces of armor I think, and maybe boots.
