Didn't know butt-head played D4

They somehow made Sorc worse, so I'll be skipping.

They buffed druid though! Now you do 14dmg instead of 10 :D

Pretty substantial changes

[Gokulo]

So Pits are now Greater Rifts and Glyphs are Legendary Gems from D3

[Qalbert]

yup lol

[arus2001]

I imagine the old D2 purists are raging somewhere at there.

Honestly, my problem with GRs in D3 was they were the endgame and there was nothing else. Gems were a neat idea, but inevitably succumbed to lack of new ones, needed rebalancing of lesser used ones, and even later level upgrade bonuses. The problems with GRs being multiplayer meta didn't help, either, with it being pretty difficult to keep up with the meta solo at any given power cycle. Much of a dumpster fire D4 has seemed from the outside, if they can revitalize those systems without obsessing, it's only really a net positive.

traded a Tal's armor & ammy for a Ber rune earlier today, i might make Infinity one of these years

Probably would be if any of us still cared. But it's never been more evident that they have no idea what the fuck they're doing.. so that ship has long sailed.

None of them are still playing to any degree I think

The full revamp looks good, now the cosmetic shit needs to also come from some in game grinds instead of only from the fucking shop. $25 per skin is lol....

I'm still playing D4. I'm excited about the changes.

You refute my attempted point so I therefore have to ignore you completely and continue on unashamedly.

ALL D4 PURISTS ARE GONE LOL FUCK EM GOOD RIDDANCE.

I'm hoping the bonus skill points help to make a little more build diversity but sad the ring of starless skies got smacked, I enjoyed blood surge spam this current season along with landslide spam.

[Cyn]

More diversity? Nah fam, more passives.

[Qalbert]

what happened to RoSS? I must've missed it

[Gredival]

New to Diablo and picked this up because it was dirt cheap. Is there just a good what's what intro to end game? Like what are hoards vs. pits, how to gear for them, etc

Right now as I understand I just mainly grind RNG to get the precise greater affixes I want on orange gear or uniques with greaters.

I have pages of mats and I don't know which to save or the burn. And I feel like my build must suck because these other people one shot the blood maiden and it takes me a few minutes to solo because if I don't dodge her the fireballs kill me in like 1 shot. The lack of a battle log makes it hard to tell what I need to do.

pits = worthless now. They are a dungeon without drops till end but the bosses are very overtuned and leave a stacking debuff on you so pointless unless you're pushing for epoints
hordes = the go to for everything right now. Tier 4+ has a chest that gives greater affix shit so good for starting out, and for getting a lot of aspects you might not have. They give shit tons of exp too. Tier 6+ I would just open the crafting mats chest because you get all the masterworking stuff from the pit that way and never have to touch pit.

Glyphs still need nightmare dungeons to do but it's not "AS" bad as it used to be.

Basically unless you're doing glyph leveling I would be running hordes as much as possible. Helltides are good for farming boss summoning mats though same for world boss. legion events are kind of crap now.

For nightmare dungeons blow up anything with fucking drifting shade or the stormbanes wrath affix because they're annoying as fuck.

Hilarious that this was not true.

[Weltall]

Hilarious that this was not true.

It was absolutely true until they got flooded with complaints and adjusted it at the last moment lol.
