that hits for 50 million

#

thats a bit worrisome

tender plinth
#

inc, taken inc, res pen, support gems, etc.

open nymph
#

and in a world without pob, poe would be a giant fucking mess of badly designed game

tender plinth
#

he is just delusional

#

there is no actual text in poe so hard to tell but you prob hit for like 5-10 on coast and then 5-10mil per proj in the end game

#

not that I am surprised to see dumb take from quin

open nymph
#

ye

#

i do agree with the multiplier issue though

#

even in beta at lv25

#

if you had full legendary setup

#

you already had

#

5 or 6 different multipliers

maiden anvil
#

Isn't that how skill gems work in PoE?

#

In terms of adding 5-6 multipliers to base skills

tender plinth
#

pretty much, although you can't really easily scale those 5 multipliers

latent spade
#

my main problem with the game after looking at the build calculator is that theres literally just more buttons i want to use than binds to use them

open nymph
#

yep

#

not enough skill choice sadly

#

especially since

#

+1all skills

latent spade
#

oh i want to use dark shroud and stealth

open nymph
#

actualyl grants you

#

ALL skills

latent spade
#

oh i cant use them

#

nice

#

yep

#

stuff like all skills

open nymph
#

and you can swap skills midfight

latent spade
#

is a meme

open nymph
#

in the hotbars

latent spade
#

any sort of + skill that you get that isnt the stuff on your bar is a meme

open nymph
#

so its not like youre limited, its just really clunky

maiden anvil
#

Not directly in the same way as diablo where its just "WW x% increased damage" but theres still insane damage multipliers all through PoE

latent spade
#

just add a ctrl bar like poe has or just literally more skill slots

maiden anvil
latent spade
#

if they added a way to stance dance specializations with a keybind with rogue and added more skill slots i think my enjoyment of this game would go up ten fold

late pebble
latent spade
#

if you could combo inner sight + preparation it would be so fun lol

open nymph
#

im guessing the idea is

#

a heavily limited set of abilities

#

makes it easier to balance

shell prism
open nymph
#

since many ultimates or summon skills add a lot of DPS

shell prism
#

better numbers

open nymph
#

and being able to cycle them is... not a good idea

maiden anvil
sand oak
maiden anvil
#

The numbers are quite funny but I never even cared about wow and it feeling needed to "do squishes"

latent spade
maiden anvil
#

if my wow character was doing 1.2t dps I wouldn't rlly care

shell prism
#

was torment not available in the closed beta

tender plinth
maiden anvil
#

But yeh lol

latent spade
#

i thought it actually hard locks you to only put a point into 1 of them

#

but maybe +all skills circumvents that

tender plinth
#

I guess people are crazy about numbers because all those multipliers d4 has are scalable, like better gear is more "damage vs", "damage with", "damage while", crit multi etc.

open nymph
#

well all skills grants all defensives for example

#

thats why +1 defensive skills is so good

tender plinth
#

so if they all grow a little the end result is increased by quite a lot

latent spade
#

swap in dark shroud mid combat

#

press and swap back

#

awesome gameplay

#

playing fucking runescape just clicking your ui

trail wind
#

whens the preload

#

I bought the game today

latent spade
#

today i believe?

#

#

wont be able to play prime time thursday

#

will right after raid though B(

dusty notch
maiden anvil
latent spade
#

lot of those cons are kinda reallllly bad PEPW

#

especially in context of an arpg

maiden anvil
#

Uh maybe

latent spade
#

well 2 in particular

#

underwhelming sense of prgression and boring itemization

#

= giga bad at least imo

maiden anvil
#

It depends what u find fun about these games

#

I just like killing monsters and grinding currency

#

I'm kinda over poe itemization

#

At least for a bit

#

It's good but it's a bit exhausting

latent spade
#

eh i think arpgs need to have certain things to be enjoyable

maiden anvil
#

Just want something a little more brainless

latent spade
#

i think an arpg with boring gearing becomes stale quite quick

#

but we'll see

maiden anvil
#

I just wanna kill monsters and grind levels tbqh

#

But they seem committed to adding depth so idk

#

I don't expect it to be insanely hard to digest season 0 with no league mechanics

latent spade
#

ye prob not

maiden anvil
#

Duno if they want them to be fully seasonal, like modern Poe leagues lol

#

Or like, layering systems

#

Rune wards also are coming right

#

Eventually

#

Rune wards seem cool

latent spade
#

idk what that is i played d3 literally last season that was my first diablo experience ever

tender plinth
#

items do seem maybe too simple but that's also product of time

#

poe hasn't had fractured/influenced/synthesised/new influence/recombs/fossil mods/essences on release)

latent spade
#

ye i think for me d4 will prob be pretty meh on release but hopefully overtime improves a lot

#

im sure i'd probably hate poe first iteration as well

tender plinth
#

I think seeking brain stimulation in d4 is just not really the play

#

at least not on initial release

latent spade
#

ye

#

i was kinda hoping for a layer of complexity when push told me you can swap specializations on rogue easily mid combat

#

but dont think thats the case

dusty notch
#

Diablo is about slaying monsters and looting items. PoE is about solving a complex math equation and then slaying monsters and looting items starege

covert cave
#

Well that was short lived :P

tender plinth
#

druid looks brutally painful at the start

covert cave
#

I think it's different for everyone depending on their aspirations. But I'll play D4 and do the things I find fun during levling instead of trying to find something optimal. I'm sure druids will have some fun stuff too that might be slower but make it feel less painful

open nymph
full stream
#

I agree in beta druid was slow to start. Played warrior also, but may end up doing sorc or rogue.

open nymph
#

think itll heavily depend on how quick theyre able to deliver new or deeper endgame systems. obviously its important that on release, the leveling and storyline experience is very good, and i fully expect that to be the case. but if this is like a shadowlands situation, where it takes them like 6+ months to bring something new to the table that gives more sense of progression when youre done with story, then thats very concerning

tender plinth
#

Season is in 2 months tops right, should be good enough of a display

late pebble
#

I think they're aiming for a 1-month launch window

tender plinth
#

they said mid-late July

dusty notch
#

It was pretty clear that D4 is going to be tailored for the 'casuals' in terms of depth and complexity. D3 wasnt that much different, even D2 to some degree

#

I think thats fine

open nymph
#

ehh, its a lot less than d3 tho

#

theres a bit more build complexity, potentially, but endgame seems to be incredibly lackluster, and i dont see them fixing that within a month or two

dusty notch
#

end game nightmare dungeons seemed rather hard no? atleast from robs video i think

#

but we will see ig

tacit bone
#

hard doesnt neccisarily = fun

dusty notch
#

true indeed

indigo cipher
#

Boss looks semi engaging

#

For nightmare dungeons at least

dam seein rogue s tier for speed grey21

#

got me thinkiinnn

#

however i do not like that its skill intensive and i gotta dodge i wanna brain off…

tacit bone
#

should i tornado druid?

dusty notch
#

tornado druid guide on maxroll has no hurricane

#

wtf

tacit bone
#

what is hurricane

dusty notch
#

aoe around you

#

can do lots of cool stuff like apply vuln, slows, dmg reduction

tender plinth
#

bv with cooldown

late pebble
open nymph
#

does negative damage

tender plinth
#

97% over 8 sec sounds not that much

open nymph
#

ye

#

its nothing

#

your auto attacks

#

deal more damage

tender plinth
#

unless it's like trippled against CCed

#

seems kinda meh

#

or just as CC device itself

open nymph
#

ele druid is just

#

kinda meh

#

outside of twister

tender plinth
#

damn, do I burn money on this game or not

#

need a coin

tacit bone
#

dont

#

buy it until at least monday imo

dusty notch
open nymph
#

its

dusty notch
#

especially considering the utility and easy perma uptime

sand oak
#

whirlwhind BARB

open nymph
#

a pointless skillpoint

sand oak
#

i got mega deluxe editiij

#

also i love that this game has overworld shit like altars and stuff

#

i got completionist syndrome in single plsyer games plat trophy type vibes

#

so thats right up my alley

dusty notch
open nymph
#

"its not supposed to be like super powerful"

dusty notch
#

powerful effect =/= tons of damage

open nymph
#

its a defensive skill and thats pmuch it

#

its 3 points for 20% less damage

#

which is fine, ofc

#

but like

#

meh

dusty notch
#

you forget that it slows

#

which enables crit dmg vs cc'd enemys

open nymph
#

which you can get from like

#

50 other sources

#

and it only slows enemies in melee

#

cuz its aoe is tiny

#

so it doesnt actually do shit for elemental druids

dusty notch
#

seemed fine considering most dungeons are rather narrow i think

open nymph
#

yeah lemme just

#

let that beefy ass mob

#

walk up to melee

#

so i can slow it

#

for more dps

#

druid in general just lacks non-melee forms of CC

dusty notch
#

it happens anyways no? atleast it did for me on beta

open nymph
#

which is fine but

#

very disappointing to someone like me who enjoyed all kinds of elemental druid builds in d2

#

which are just kinda... not really existing outside of twister

dusty notch
#

i did play strom strike over the range thingy tho so i was kinda melee anyways

open nymph
#

which turns into a monstrosity in endgame gear

#

well ye cuz

#

anything but stormstrike is garbage early on for spirit gen

#

cuz you didnt have druid spec in beta

#

later on you wont need to melee nearly as much for spirit

#

but they already took away the fire tree from druid entirely

#

and 1 of the core skills of air druids is a glorified defensive skill, but it takes up the slot of a wrath skill

#

which limits design options pretty heavily, because you now have exactly 1 storm skill that can do damage, which is twister

#

cuz channeled skills OMEGALUL

tacit bone
#

what's the most based build?

dusty notch
#

i think or rather hope they will actively balance the classes so im not that worried (yet)

open nymph
tacit bone
#

in general

open nymph
#

oh

#

i mean

#

answer is still the same

#

druid twister was

#

one of if not the strongest build in endgame beta

tacit bone
#

I heard a lot of people saying whirlwind barb was the strongest

#

cause of the 4 weapons

open nymph
#

you can kinda spam twisters with highend gear, which just skyrockets the dps potential of druid

#

but ye both barb and druid were significantly better in endgame beta

#

but that was

#

4months ago so

#

main difference is that you might actually reach that level on barb before you wanna refund the game, cuz leveling as a druid is godawful

tacit bone
#

is twister tornado?

open nymph
#

ye

dusty notch
#

isnt druid supposed to be tanky af

#

nado druid

open nymph
#

not really

dusty notch
open nymph
#

it doesnt have

#

super armor

maiden anvil
#

Druid is mega tanky, maybe not every build, but some builds are ultra tanky

open nymph
#

obviously if you play some

#

overpower stacking bear

#

its gonna be tanky

#

but the main issue is that druid doesnt have SA to break out of cc

#

which is painge

#

if youre frozen, youre gonna sit in that freeze until it expires, and theres nothing you can do about it

#

and i think every other class has a SA they can activate mid-cc

tacit bone
#

I'm just gonna wait for my friend to play over the weekend and then decide to buy or not

No way i can't play rogue

with being able to skip campaign hopefully having alts is friendly

jovial knoll

alts should be pretty fun with all the lillith statues too

#

im grabbin all those

#

i tried setting up my paragon boards for my sorc and i need so much dex/wisdom to cover some breakpoints everything_is_fine

#

hopefully the statues help enough

i have work at 2pm and woke up at 6am

i just finished watching his review of ranteraxx tier guide

kripp knowledgeable as heyl

dusty notch
#

my new pc parts came in woo

#

but i wont change em yet cus id have to reinstall windows n stuff

covert cave
#

Ordered new keyboard for launch, but got delayed until 6th. So I guess I'll need to relearn everything by then!

dusty notch
covert cave
#

Haha

#

Which one did you get?

tender plinth
#

you guys wouldn't believe what I am using as keyboard

dusty notch
covert cave
#

tiny

dusty notch
#

I kinda wanted a custom keyboard but cba waiting months for all the parts

covert cave
#

That one really doesn't have unused space :p

#

It doesn't have a print screen button? :o

dusty notch
#

It does!

#

its FN+P

covert cave
#

I guess all the young people takes "print screen" with their phones nowadays anyways ;P

#

Oh, I see!

#

I got a Ducky One 3. Full size, since I use numpad a lot for work and calculations and stuff

#

And I've had a Ducky shine for ages and I love that. So this was most similar

#

What do you have Lorentz?

tender plinth
#

I am a big sad Ducky cancelled slim mechanical model

#

I tried one mechanical keyboard once and had to return it after a week of use

covert cave
#

With your comment, I'd guess a low profile lenovo work keyboard :P

tender plinth
#

close

covert cave
#

apple?

tender plinth
covert cave
#

I don't mesh well with low profile sadly.

#

Looks nice though

tender plinth
#

I can't use high keycaps anymore

covert cave
#

I have black switches currently, I like the resistance

tender plinth
#

years of notebooks and slim keyboards at work

covert cave
#

yeah, dislike writing on my laptop

tender plinth
#

I just so used to not having to move my fingers so much up and down)

#

so on mech I constantly was bumping into sides of keycaps

covert cave
#

You could get EC ones, and have them trigger very shallowy :D

tender plinth
#

and even after some time I couldn't get used to it and it felt quite unnatural

dusty notch
#

I cant live without a proper chonky click sound

#

its so satisfying

covert cave
#

I like linear switches so much

#

feels like i can type so fast

tender plinth
#

okay, gifting went through

#

that's already good

#

now I have to buy copy for myself

#

@maiden anvil @shell prism sorc or rogue?

covert cave
#

Btw, You alright over there Lorentz?

#

In your corner of the world

tender plinth
#

I am

covert cave
#

Good to hear

tender plinth
#

depends what corner you mean

#

I am not in Russia

#

left like 8 months ago

covert cave
#

Oh, right. I think you said.. Armenia?

tender plinth
#

yes

covert cave
#

Never been there at all, feels like a good fit?

tender plinth
#

feels safe

shell prism
tender plinth
#

but I don't consider it as my final destination

#

just a quick and easy hideout since I don't need any visa to be here

covert cave
#

It's pretty mountainy isn't it there?

tender plinth
#

not to the degree I would expect)

covert cave
#

Ah, hope this stuff ends and we can go back to more passive aggressive stuff instead

tender plinth
#

it has a lot of elevations but not really big mountains

covert cave
#

I just recall seeing those big mountain backdrops from.. the city close to Ararat

tender plinth
#

Ararat is Turkey

covert cave
#

oh. my bad then, sorry

tender plinth
#

it used to be Armenia and it's a very touchy topic here

#

you might guess those 2 nations don't go along well

covert cave
#

Yea

tender plinth
#

genocide and their sacred mountain being not their territory

#

my brief convos about Turkey were...filled with cursed words)

covert cave
#

The whole area there has so much history of war and disputes

tender plinth
#

I saw one of the spears that allegadly pierced Jesus tho

covert cave
#

That's actually pretty neat

tender plinth
#

not religious but seeing and listening about history behind those objects was cool

covert cave
#

Yeah exactly

tender plinth
#

it's one the 4 spearheads(I think that's the word) that claim to be the one described in the bible

covert cave
#

I mean, the reverence around such items trumps if it's actually what it say it is

#

Where was that located?

tender plinth
#

Vagharshapat (Armenian: Վաղարշապատ pronounced [vɑʁɑɾʃɑˈpɑt]) is the 4th-largest city in Armenia and the most populous municipal community of Armavir Province, located about 18 km (11 mi) west of the capital Yerevan, and 10 km (6 mi) north of the closed Turkish-Armenian border. It is commonly known as Ejmiatsin (also spelled Echmiadzin or Etchmia...

Beautiful

#

And also the language is super hard for me to wrap my head around

#

Though, nice catching up. But it's lunch now.. and I drifted this a bit off topic ;P

Lovely!

One of the first pics I took here)

jovial knoll

tardy sage
#

Hey guys

#

the dungeons

#

in d4

jovial knoll
#

starege i have two diablo 4 channels now wtf

tardy sage
#

Does anyone know

#

How to reset dungeons?

open nymph
#

open map and then there should be a button on bottom right to reset dungeons

#

in your quest journal

trail wind
#

I thought resetting dungeons was removed, or was that for beta only?
