I have an alternative(PoE), it certainly makes a conscious difference. If this game was the only way to get modernish D2 gameplay, these issues would likely be overlooked.
Keeping content in the game is at least part of the reason why the game's performance sucks. It's also why the game is so daunting to new players.
Merging leagues into the base game is not free.
I don't agree about Harvest being that powerful. At least, an intuitive "out of the box"...
We had a giant silver maple that needed to come down since it was encroaching on our septic tank. For an extra ~$300, the tree removal company ground down about a half dozen extra stumps on my property, including the silver maple.
Stealer of Souls + Plot Twist + Violet Illusionist. It's not an OTK combo but it is a ton of tempo. Add Mecha'Thun and Cataclysm after tearing through your deck.
Done with the league as well, got my 36.
Exsanguinate was a pretty fun skill but dangerous in terms of mechanics power creep. I don't believe we have another skill that can chain and high amount of parallel hits. Tornado Shot maybe? And it got nerfed for kinda the same reason.
I didn't try...
EFAP crew spent ~2 hours bitching about how the time cops undermine everything the MCU has built so far since they determine the choices people will make. But, unless I missed it, absolutely no one has mentioned it here.
What am I missing?
Speaking of programmers...who designed the Cruelty support gem? Ailment threshold calculations are not intuitive but are kinda sorta ok because they are generally "bonus" damage. You don't really need to know how much you're shocking and chilling.
I'm using Exsanguinate in a Poet's Pen...
I've been enjoying Corrupting Fever KB gladiator. All aspects except the single target dps is top tier. That really only comes into play when doing the Feared, every other boss encounter is more forgiving on the dps. Anyone done the Feared on a Corrupting Fever build?
Also wondering if...
Interesting concept. Ailment reflection is probably getting nerfed next league even though every build I've seen has paper defenses.
Would love to try an all rounder Fire Burst or Self Chill before they get nerfed, but zoomy bois that fall over to gusts of wind are not fun.
I was just thinking we hadn't heard from that cunt in a while. But in reality, she was there the whole time.
I'm betting she made him listen to that Janet Jackson song.
Anyone know if it's possible to macro oos and tempest shield? Oos, even with awakened chain, doesn't clear reliably to the point where I can easily tell whether a pack will require a couple pumps of tempest shield or not.
So, my solution is to hopefully macro it. The cast time on tempest...
Divine Guidance is much more useful than 5% more spell damage and 5% increased cast speed. You should be using your movement skill enough to keep it it up regardless.
@Caeden It's like CoC, but not.
First Corrupting Fever build that looks interesting. I mean, the others I've seen have had good clear but have been decent at best bossers. This one at least has the sustain and EHP for it. Might be a bit squishy to phys damage if stuff gets past your capped...
Traps do not reserve, that's mines only. The reservation is not a problem actually since reserving no longer requires you to pay the cost, so you can reserve empty mana or life. So on a LL build, you just have less life reserved so you can toss more mines at once. The life cost while...
Also, looking for a way to get mines(or traps?) work with Exsanguinate. Being able to zip out(~7 per second, not counting swift assembly) mines that auto target and chain through up to 40 targets is quite fun on a skill that is already fun. I tried out a build that used Petrified Blood and...
Is there a way to use Petrified Blood defensively? You can easily enable Daresso's Courage(+30% spell block) and Champion's Adrenaline(+10% phys DR), but I can't think of anything else. You typically reserve half your life to take 40% less damage, so that's kind of a wash. This is also...
