Diablo IV

[Grampy_Bone]

Level 61 motherfuckers! First try... (once I remembered Elixers were a thing). More like the 8th attempt overall.
If anyone is wondering if armor does anything, the answer is yes.



He dropped Sky Hunter and Frostburn uniques, my build isn't really set up for Sky Hunter. Sadly no Windforce. I got Windforce once in Diablo 1. Once.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Regular enemies would be unkillable.

As an update, this was not in fact true. However, larger groups of elites were quite dangerous and the drops were still scaled to 61. So it was generally pointless, but it was fun to attempt.

but I only have one char in D4 so far. I'm itching to try a new class now and have been putting it off until the new season starts.

Same. Only two more days. Which class you choosing next? I'm going to pick Rogue I think. I see alot of people saying it's the funnest class to play as.

I cheated and had a lvl 70 something rush me through that capstone dungeon. Wasn't intentional, I was just partied with him and was following him around. I would have liked to have attempted it on my own.

 

[Filthy Sauce]

I went the other way and played all of them.

59 sorc
47 rogue
50 barb
50 Necro
37 druid.


Mega balance patch dropping today. Expecting nerfs for rogue, Necro and druid. Going to decide on season character after the notes drop.

I think I'm going Lightning Sorc. Want something very different than my current Barb, for the sake of variety.

 

[Skinwalker]

Sorcerer, Necromancer and Druid all look like fags/lolcows, so I'm not picking those (I don't think there's any way to customize a Sorcerer to make him not look like a tranny). Barbarian seems boring as a concept. Looks like I'm stuck with Rogue.

Oh they best buff the pyro sorc. Right now she is not feeling viable in Torment at all.

Edit

I really really hope this guy is wrong lol...

 

[BlackAdderBG]

To fix the resistances they need to first create them. The system now is just a skin over the original first reveal they did two years ago where they just had attack power and defense. They got backlash for that and hastily "created" resistance stat and renamed defense to armour and in the process probably fucked some formulas or code so it's not an easy fix.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

I really really hope this guy is wrong lol..

Well he's wrong in the sense that Blizzard nerfs things, they didn't do that with D3 at all. Every patch was a buff for some skill or another that was "underused" until everything had like +800% damage, lol.

I'm not sure why people want old resistances back so badly, having a mandatory triple-diamond tower to avoid being one-shot by half the mobs is not my idea of fun.

Oh wow...

That seems kind of crazy. Looks like I'm dropping back down to wt3.

 

[e-mailio estevez]

The patch is really shitty and they basically just nerfed all of the useful stats across the board, without anything that exciting to compensate for it. The biggest pain is nerfing cooldown reduction because it was 'too desireable' or some shit. No, cool downs are just annoying and of course everyone's going to spec into a stat that lets them to use the abilities of their character more often.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

As if puncture needed to be even better.

• Pestilent Points (Offensive Aspect): Every third cast of Puncture is Poison Imbued with 100-150% of normal potency.

Ack. This is a nerf.

• Siphoning Strikes now also requires a Lucky Hit chance of 75%.

This also sucks but I guess crossbows were blowing bows away

• Vulnerable Damage: Reduced by ~40%.
• Vulnerable Damage (Inherent on Crossbows): Reduced by ~65%.

 

[Aya Cash]

Finally found a decent ancestral staff that gave me significant boost in dps so atleast I don't feel like I'm shooting spitwads at wt4 enemies. Still got a long ways to go before this bitch is respectable in Torment.

 

[Saravan]

I’m fucking dying of laughter of how shit this is.​

Shitty update overall but I'm having a bit more fun. Lvling up feels noticeably quicker now since they increased the bonus xp for killing enemies scaled higher than you. I'm also finally finding alot of replacements for my old shit gear. I noticee there's a lot of lvl 60 gear dropping now which is strange. It's either lvl 60 or lvl 70 gear that drops, and the obols guy gives me a bunch of lvl 40 crap.

 

[Axioms]

Man I heard that Blizzard massively shit the bed on this update. The guy right above me is the first positive response I've seen.

 

[abija]

Pretty sure he's wrong, they decreased bonus xp for higher level mobs.

 

[Aya Cash]

Pretty sure he's wrong, they decreased bonus xp for higher level mobs.

And I definitely feel like I'm moving up quicker. Why tf would they decrease it? That would make zero sense.

 

[King Crispy]

You do realize that 4.5% < 25%, right?

 

[RPK]

Pretty sure he's wrong, they decreased bonus xp for higher level mobs.

And I definitely feel like I'm moving up quicker. Why tf would they decrease it? That would make zero sense.

Because every other change in the patch is meant to slow down progress. Presumably to keep people playing longer. If you're not playing, you can't be spending money in the store.

 

[Aya Cash]

I read it wrong. Those fucking pieces of shit.

Also is there some kind of glitch or something? Why am I getting so many lvl 60 drops now in wt4? It wasn't like that before. I was getting more lvl 70 drops.

 

[Aya Cash]

Seems like they might have lowered the drop rate of abberant cinders as well? Took me alot longer to collect enough for one of the shitty chests. Lol not even worth doing helltides in wt4 now, not at my current level. I mainly only do them for forgotten souls anyway.

[Aya Cash]

They literally made Helltides completely pointless lmao. I seen somebody say the lower cinder drop rate is a glitch but at this point I'm starting to believe Blizzard really is retarded and have no idea what they are doing. What they did with this latest patch may have killed the game.

Lol
