I can't decide what kind of build I will play in Diablo IV.

Essentially, I have three choices that I consider
  • Max offence
  • Max defence
  • Balanced offence-defence
What do you think?
Max offense only. Getting hit is a skill issue, so don't get hit.

The one thing I'll really applaud Diablo 4 for is it seems no matter how much is going on, it retains visual clarity.
How would you even know that. You saw some curated footage.

And speaking of curated trailers. Bets on pvp not being ready on launch or being some broken afterthought?

That whole corpse mechanic wouldn't be needed if they didn't use that shitty ragdoll stuff and returned to proper death animations.

Also would be nice if the skeletons didn't have that gay cyan color and just looked like skeletons.

Replaying D2 recently and it reminded me how dirty I feel after playing Blizzard games: even decades ago they were focused on milking the shit out of players, back then mostly their time, but increasingly as much money as they can possibly squeeze out of you every moment, it's not a beneficial relationship they try to create with their games and their players. Compare that to Nox, it's purely a great time, whether you play single player or multiplayer.

You're going "Maximum cuck" no matter what

I think you're missing the joke here. He is parodying/mocking Diablo IV's horrible new itemization (hopefully).

Your ignore list.

That's because Blizzard has never made any games. All they have ever made are addictions.

I fully expect the Codex to buy into this scam of a game.

If you only compare the campaigns of the two games together, the visual clarity won't be different. PoE starts suffering in that department once your build approaches clearspeed in the screens-per-second realm

Dude even if you play with 8 necros in D2 you still have more visual clarity than in POE without playing any necro. Simply put monster pack sizes are in completely different galaxy let alone place.

POE over the years completely ignored any tactics and design and just are shatting out more and more monsters packs because clearly 1click tower running whales love it. So if whales love it then chinese who owns them love it.

Except PoE just did a big overhaul of the rare monsters which requires you to make split second decisions multiple times per map when you encounter them. What tactical combat depth do D2/D3/D4 boast?

Besides, almost everybody who plays PoE loves pack size and clear speed. You're the one weirdo that doesn't. You also suck at PoE and have very limited insight into what actual tactical decisions in PoE are.

PoE is all about quantity over quality
