They are very easy to reset with no penalty at that. It's at the push of a button.
>Is 16k Toughness a decent amount?
That's the question of the day. If you can consistently deal damage and stay alive you're good. It's a quite obscure system that calculates all your defensive stats into one. Before toughness was introduced we had armor (capped at1000), percentage resistances (max 70%) and it was very clear you needed a 1000 armor and your resistances for a specific difiiculty to viably run it. These days it's whether you can dole out the beating and not be on the getting the short end of the stick. So, other than "if you stay alive you're good" I couldn't really say despite my best intentions.
>>
>>2167637
Well, considering what just happened in the post right above yours, with 0 death scares, I think it's working!
Also
>easy to reset with no penalty
So many games with variable skill trees and lots of options could learn from that. I just attached my second board, the one with Blood Rage since I'm so hyper-focused on bleed. Blood rage also just comes with the 60% damage increase while Berserking, which I am frequently doing.

I want to run lair bosses for gear but I'm scared of getting one-shotted again. My first run ended trying one on t1.. got to t3/para 150 today and now I'm feeling too invested.. are there any other events to get solid end-game gear or should I bite the bullet

I think I know how to fix the diablo story for the next expansion.
Immediately, a new villain named Dr. Insano appears and begins to rip apart reality. Neyrelle, having withstood the power of hatred and darkness, as well as akarat's super light and forgiveness, goes ssj 4 and fights Dr. Insano in the multiverse arena for all eternity. Diablo, tyrael, mephisto, and lorath all get together and instantly agree that Neyrelle will stay out of their universe forever. Also, Tyrael reveals that he was pranking everyone the whole time, and is not actually a human since he realized that he needs to be in some part demon. Prava dies of laughter as she hands the players a ray gun that makes the prime evils immune to being sucked into a black soul stone retroactively when their soul stones are shattered again.
then the expansion starts.
>>
>>2168598
I have no experience with the other characters/classes, but having just started playing for the first time last month and zerging through the game up to pit lv110 (no idea what the true reference point is) without too much issue, I'd have to agree with Paladin being the easiest choice.
>>
>>2168598
Necromancer is pretty good. Lots of fun builds.
I decided to go a custom shadow/summon build for awhile, mostly farming helltides and a variety of stuff, then torment 2 had me optimize into all summon, though shadow is better I hear.

I need some assistance sorting out the wheat from the chaff here. I don't use most of these for my current build (Arbiter Wing Strikes) and I don't foresee swapping to another build at present. I would like to either sell this or trade it or give it to clan members if there is some interest because the rest of my stash slots are just as full with other random garbo (bags of obols, dungeon keys, runes, varieties of GA ancestral items, and other potentially-useful equipment for my build). It is otherwise cutting into my farming because I don't really like just trashing items if someone else can utilize it, but I haven't engaged in any trading on D4.
I had similar issues when I was playing D2R for the first time a while back and I maxed out my character selection with mules for equipment, not that the issue was solved either.
>>
>>2169047
IF you have the materials, the answer this season is simple, socket/enchant/mw sanctify everything you want to use and toss out the rest. i've seen and tossed 4ga griswolds because they'll never beat what i have sanctified on it on it's a grandfather or skill ranks.
>>
>>
>>2169060
That sounds easy enough since I do have a ton of the materials. I'll do that for the 2 Griswolds I have there at least then. I was trying to wait for a better GA with a good roll on the unique effect as well before I did the sanctification dance, but I was neglecting the premise of getting a crazy sanctification result.
As for farming that sword - it drops from Andy/Duriel/Dog of Hatred, correct? I haven't found very many of them, disappointingly. I was going to shift to using my Obols on trying to get more copies as well since fishing for build-relevant rings has been a pain overall (I try to keep too much).

Yeah after playing through the game I thought there were a couple of pretty grisly cutscenes. The one with the dogs eating some dude while he was screaming in pain was too macabre for my taste, but the game overall was very dark.
It's interesting that they've stuck so hard with body horror instead of leaning into more of the psychological horror, I was expecting a bit of it with the contrasting developments of Donan and Neyrelle but it fell flat.

>So many games with variable skill trees and lots of options could learn from that.
Yeah, that's one thing they really did right. It doesn't punish you for trying to test out new builds and the system gives you a lot of leeway in that regard. Also, look up the armory - it's usually located next to a blacksmith or your chest. It lets you save a preset of your current setup (items, skills, paragon boards and glyphs). Mega useful if you like to switch builds.
>>2169201
>Not entirely sure what to do with the tongues
The corrupted ones serve as "keys" to open chests in the Azmodan summoning area. I forgot the name of the place. The purified essence on the other hand is needed for that Uber Lesser Evils Event that is triggered by feeding 4 altars their respective essence.

>keys to open chests in the Azmodan summoning area
If you mean the World Boss spot, then that makes sense. I actually went after the quest here to kill the Lesser Evils around the map and I helped these dudes kill Azmodan like 4 times but I didn't get anything except Divine Favor and even then sometimes I got like 25 randomly and other times none at all except from killing the big guy. The chests/altars around all seem to reference the others.
Oh and it didn't check off killing him any of the times for some reason.
>Purified Essence is needed for Uber Lesser Evils Event
Wait, is that what I was doing? I'm not even sure if I have any purified ones
>>
>>2169209
>it didn't check off killing him any of the times for some reason
yea that happened to me too.
basically you'll spend a lot of time killing all 4 lesser evils. you can unlock belial, andy, and duriel's chests at the summoned azmodan if you have 5 of their specific corrupted mats. you'll also get azmodan mats that you can use to open his chest when he spawns as an actual world boss.

Seasonal board has two slots for each of the minor demon lords and two slottable buffs for each of the demon lords. Turning that in to Hadriel unlocks the buffs. One buff slot gives you an extra bonus, the other imposes an extra penalty during the related activity (Helltide, World Bosses, Undercity, Pit)

Okay, I put together my Divine Gift page, unlocked Torment 1, unlocked Torment 2, learned I'm not strong enough (durability specifically since I damage bigly) for Echo of Lilith. Doing Helltides a bunch, for some reason Azmodan, Duriel, and Belial REFUSE to check off on the seasonal quest. Is it broken?
I also made this to show what i'm currently using that's worth mentioning. Masterwork luckily grabbed my Max Life and Damage against Bleeders on my stuff so that's awesome. Sad it didnt' grab total resist on the pants, but that's alright

After getting to understand the game better I really have mixed feelings on the progression. Early game is kinda meh; you’re gimped skill-tree-wise and either play a little sub-optimal or constantly fiddle with gear, and then later the paragon system just feels too huge for something that comes free to your other characters.
Playing a t4 endgame character isn’t fun for long since drops are not exciting 99.7% of the time. I think it also comes down to how catered class drops/uniques/mythic items trend towards very specific builds.. I hope they add a little in the way towards more layers of complexity to the skill tree and itemization in the future
>>

game is already aging and has a terribly small playerbase, they're going to drop it for D5 asap.

Remember the "LET ME GOOOOOOOOO" shit?

>>2170857
I am wondering about the population or maybe just how the servers work. Somehow I log in a day or two later and I see the exact same people sitting at bosses or talking in trade chat.

Don't worry about Sanctification on mythics (and uniques as well I think). Unless you forget about sockets/masterworking there's no bricking whatsoever. The affix replacement is on regular to non-ancestral legendary items.
And a sidenote: best way to farm obucite are horadric strongroom ones. Just FYI.

from what i saw earlier in the season via youtube, only one person can open the portal with their mats. they can't be pooled together.
only the summoner can enter portal that opens however party members can tp to the summoner once they've entered the instance
>>
well lads, we learned some lessons about purified boss runs:
-party members can enter the fight by teleporting to the summoner once inside
-the bosses are much tougher than their lair forms, but we didn't have an issue killing them
-only the summoner gets the rewards which sucks

>>2171834
okay that was the last one i needed. i seriously farmed him for a few days and i'll share my experience.
i'd usually do a few helltide runs per day donating one baneful heart. then i'd run all my grig and varshaan mats to get duriel mats. then i'd run like 25 duriels WITHOUT picking up the horns he drops, to not max out at 20. then when i'd run out of mats, i'd pick everything up and go waste an hour depleting my horns at azmodan, and by the time that was over, i'd have a bunch of grigoire and varshaan mats to start the process over.
then i read by someone on reddit that they got it pretty quickly by summoning duriel in helltide single-handedly with 3 hearts. apparently your odds are better the more you contribute? anyway within an hour of doing that, it finally dropped. so i'd recommend that route desu sorry this is so long
>>
>>
>>2171840
Oh man, I forgot about that cap of 20. What a rookie mistake. Thank you for reminding me and for the comprehensive advice. Much appreciated!
Also, at this point I wonder if walking around with other bosses' trophies capped at 20 will hinder the drop rate of the one you're currently looking for.

If you sanctify a legendary power it will randomly be a mythic power. so any item could have 100% crit damage or +4 skill ranks/20% damage reduction, aka the powers of The Grandfather and Harlequin's Crest. Very small chance, and you'd have to wheel and deal with player trading if you want GAs with good rolls to sanctify and runes to craft multiple copies of the GA mythics you want. I've gone several days without so much as a sidegrade, filling up my stash between sanctify sessions.
>>
>>2174234
Wow, that sounds tough to get your hands on lmao
I've been struggling just to find another mythic, let alone turn legendaries into them. I wanted to ask, is the Mythic Sword basically BiS or is it more situational than that? I'm kinda thinking of switching from hyperfocusing on Bleed to doing more Crit focused, is that reasonable or am I just going to dig for the same sword either way?

>Ancestral Echoes (58% chance to spawn echoes) (1-handed slot)
>Steadfast Berserker (gain .38% max hp as fortify when i do direct damage) (Amulet)
>Dire Whirlwind (8% more crit chance/damage per second channeled up to 38%) (Ring)

It’s not chunni enough.
For 4chan to latch onto a game, it has to have humour, cute women, cool fights and a good ost. If that sounds like the outline of a cool shounen anime, you’re right; it’s a weeb site and the anime runs deep.
D4 has a few of those things, but it’s still a very morbid, introspective game.
All it would take to make d4 a “4chan game” would be to copy the aesthetics and narrative beats of Berserk and Claymore.
There’s an actual psychology behind it, and it is interesting. 4chan subconsciously posits that modern games are made from the perspective of pleasing the narrative whims of progressive women.
What the men on /v/ want is a male ideal to overcome evil. That’s why the Paladin trailer took off, and that’s why season 11 is going really strong, as this also applies to the broader gaming community.
It was never really about the gameplay or endgame minutiae people complained about; it’s about how the themes speak to you subconsciously.

I wonder how they're going to tackle traversing Skovos, scale-wise I mean. Proportionally Isles are pretty small, plus it's relatively fast to get from A to B on the continent so it poses a question how big the islands will be and how much area unlocking will be involved.

I might sound retarded for suggesting this, but if anyone here has played Digimon World 3, they do a really interesting overworld isometric travel with specific mounts.
So underwater you use a submarine Digimon, and underground you use a dig mole Digimon.

I've been reading somewhere a few days ago, that according to some leaks (not datamined info) it's gonna be a willpower based class. Which makes sense.
>people think it'll be some sort of oracle or warlock with willpower
I don't know why people assumed previously it'd be an amazon with gender system we have in the game. I'm leaning towards Oracle/Warlock too.

It's funny that you mention it, as I just got a ring roll that I actually liked. I hit the bonus star-affix on crafting crit damage on it and then hit it with the Masterwork. I technically lost like 3% toughness because it doesn't have Poison Resistance, but it seems worth to me.

I've got...
Wrath to level 53, Brawl (i don't use brawl skills but rare node buffs are based) to 46, Executioner to 46, Weapon Master to 47, and Might to 47. I'm not sure how good of a spread that is, and I also may or may not have redone my Paragon page when I tried to focus more on crits so now they're all in a line rather than a square or anything. Likely heavily inefficient, but it's working
I spammed level 45 pit to quickly get them all up to there

Which of these do you guys think is better? Is Vulnerable super important to apply easily/repeatedly with the first one?
>>
>>2177835
Okay, looking at your item the second one is significantly worse if you have no other means of inflicting Vulnerable. In World Boss encounters, everyone will be doing it so it's wasted there, but in your own playthrough you need to be able to do that.

Thanks for the help. I also just rolled a 3-star Amulet from a chest in Helltide and rolled a 4th star for Whirlwind Size. I'm debating between Steadfast Berserker for Fortify or Iron Blood Aspect for raw damage reduction when near bleeding enemies. Fortify says it's an extra reserve of life to heal me over time, does that mean it also takes damage or is it just an amount of health I'm regenning?
>>
>>
>>
>>2178029
it's an amulet so it would be be 9% damage reduction. fortify also doesn't give damage reduction by default anymore, just healing.
that said, it seems weird to put a defensive aspect on an amulet in the first place.

>>2177967
>>2178029

>>2178053
Do you have any particular recommendations? Since I'm just using Whirlwind and not anything else, really, lots of the ones I have aren't very useful.
Do you think Accelerating would be good moved to that instead of my ring? I crit, as far as I'm aware, always, so I'd be getting like 45% attack speed on hit.

Also, I found this thing, is this better than the sword on the left that I was using up until now? I lose about 300% Crit Damage, but I also gain about 200k Toughness.
Other sword has my 35% chance for Whirlwind doing double damage that puts me at 100%.

I wasn't, purely because the first time I sanctified an item, it was a Tassets of the Dawning Sky and maybe it was just poor luck but the Total Resist was replaced with Crit Chance. After that I figured that chancing potentially turning a piece of gear to shit wasn't worth it.
But after sanctifying the old sword (got 10% damage, but wasn't enough to save it)
Decided to take a chance and most of my gear for 15-40% quality rolls, my hammer got 30% cdr, and my boots lost movement speed (I was well over 200 so this is a plus) for 300 more strength
All around very good

It's obvious you're bias against the game, which is fine, but why bother with all that here? It'd be effort better spent to post in PoE general and get everyone's approval.
D4 ain't the best game there is, hell it's not even the best title in its genre. Not to mention devs who take too much time to release new content at a reasonable pace (which may change soon enough). But slowly its getting someplace reasonable.
If you wanna play either game, you do you man.

There's not much going on for it right now to be interesting. Maybe once it's fleshed out it'll take the edge off pit pushers and take their dick measuring contest to a suitable venue.
I will applaud them for adding this though but I can't imagine how busted it had to have been that it needed an extra month and it's still very very barebones (again, I know it's in beta, just sayin')

wanted to ask Thread's opinion. I found a "Mythical Prankster" in a nightmare dungeon when running some and ran it, found a Grandfather and I recall that being considered pretty good. Socketed, Masterworked, and then Sanctified, do you guys think this is better than my current spear?
I don't mind swapping my Polearm Glyph to a Sword one probably. I just worry about losing that guaranteed Vulnerable and all the crit damage.

>>
>>2187351
it's not a guaranteed vulnerable.
every skill has a modifier on lucky hit chance. whirlwind is 20%. if that's the only source of chance to make enemies vulnerable, then the chance per hit is actually 20% * 145.9% ~= 29.2% per hit.
that's why so many builds use the exploit glyph, because that's actually a guaranteed vulnerable.

yeah, don't get me wrong, it was enjoyable. and i'm sure there are still people who need to finish the season journey or whatever.
i even did the tower and was ranked 11 for the 3-man when that finally posted on launch day --but then slid down to 400 something. ehh.
i have almost 200 mythic undercity tributes, but idk if i can be bothered doing those either. just feel kinda done...

Seems like the only thing that's probably left for me to to do is getting to P300. Maybe. We'll see. Overall a solid season

I haven't done the Tower yet, but I'm not hard pressed on going through the beta rn. I get it's for the blasters and streamers, but maybe us normal folks will get some enjoyment out of it later down the line. Kudos on reaching that rank though.
>i have almost 200 mythic undercity tributes, but idk if i can be bothered doing those either. just feel kinda done...

nta, but it was one of the best additions to the game, while not being game breaking.

In case of sanctification this is a valid thing to ask of devs.

it's not heckkin valid to have a mechanic that can double stack mythic affixes on top of another seasonal mechanic power.

>it's not heckkin valid to have a mechanic that can double stack mythic affixes on top of another seasonal mechanic power.
As a mechanic, on paper, it would be very reasonable to make it part of the base game. And how did you infer I meant "add it in in its entirety"? It's one of the few things they got right that doesn't look like it was designed just for a season. Unlike all those shitty power reskins we had almost every season since D4 launched.
