And do you follow the instructions above? What is that core skill? Did you unlock the aspect for it via dungeon and is it imprinted? Rly curious, you might found one rly underperforming skill, some shine better in endgame with uniques and aspect, and there are some functioning fine with 0 or 1 synergy.
Like I said, I donāt have enough gold to imprint every item upgrade that drops because every item I get is an upgrade. The only way I would have enough is by farming Helltides, but even there I will be outleveling my gear faster than I can upgrade it. I have one aspect that works with my build (Iām playing Spiritborne, so I donāt have access to the dungeons yet even though Iām around level 41 now).
LOL Torment 11?!? Shoooooooot, I wish I would! LOL.
You shoudlnāt get any hate/flack from people though, at least I hope not (I havenāt read any bodies elseās comment).
I suppose maybe they could cut the monster intensity and density in half for an easy mode? Hmā¦
That being said you donāt need to imprint your gear, just 1 max 2 aspect which goes well for your dmg skill (1 dmg aspect and maybe 1 resource so you can spam).
You can check on the collection tab filtering your skill name which can be earned via dungeon. All you need to do is clear 1 dungeon for that skill, no need to farm anything. For example quill volley has a dmg aspect tied to a dungeon accessible rly early on. You clear it and put it on your amulet so you donāt need to swap it like ever during leveling.
Congratulations Blizzard. Youāve officially made this a hardcore elitist game over night where people rag on you and tell you to get good when you want something more your skill level or preference.
I didnt know you were going the fromsoft directionā¦ the negatives from this expansion are just stacking up and i dont see the casual player base sticking around for it.

Say what? D4 is the easist ARPG ever to level up. If you are struggling at normal then you are doing something majorly wrong.
I can give a one more hint, if you have problem with dmg.
Imprint your important (if you have any) aspects to rings/amu. Ressists are not important at lvling and if you are lacking ressources you canĀ“t imprint new aspecst everytime you change weapon, but you donĀ“t to have change amu/rings at all.

Ummā¦ how did you come to this conclusion? They have literally made it easier every season. To the point that a blind cat walking across a keyboard can win.
First they reduced or removed a lot of CC, then they reduced boss and mob HP several times and have also made gearing up a lot easier. Plus leveling now compared to when it launched is a breeze.
I donāt understand how much easier this game needs to get? We looking for AFK builds or something?

No they were not lol. What are you talking about?
Mob hp is now inflated. Gear drops rates have been heavily reduced. And I get more CC than i ever had previously now. Like legit, all the changes you named were totally reversed.
To a point that most mobs feel like bullet sponges.

Sorry but what? Comparing the easiest arpg with dark souls games? Donāt want to be rude but I will: what do ppl like you for a living? How complex job someone can effectively do when this game is too hard? 2 digits IQ is more than enough to reach endgame with zero struggle. Any complexity or high difficulty was either nerfed or deleted from the board before it was even implemented.
I said that based on how people here are treating the OPā¦

Iāve never geared up faster to be honest. Mobs no longer have a level, they scale with you. Maybe that is what you mean on that. And I really donāt know what you mean about the CC.
I mean, Iām not trying to be argumentative. I just donāt see what you are talking about.
The scaling with you is actually a negative when the drop rates dont keep pace with the lvling. While lvling its totally possible to lvl faster than you are getting meaningful upgrades. So while the mobs get stronger with each lvl, you end up feeling weaker.
The lvling process now is basically focus the campaign to lvl. If you branch off or kill too much world mobs it can actually go against youā¦
If they wanted the the loot rates to be lower, thats fine. But the lvling needs to keep pace with and be slower as wellā¦
Ok letās say that I want to upgrade my weapon with an Aspect at Level 41. In order to do so, I first need to collect:
- 20 Iron Chunks
- 14 Veiled Crystals
- 6 Baleful Fragments
- 158,755 Gold
By salvaging a Legendary weapon drop, you get the following:
- 1 Iron Chunk
- 1 Veiled Crystal
- 1 Baleful Fragment
Alternatively, you can sell a Legendary drop for:
- 20,000 Gold
Letās do some quick math on thisā¦ In order to upgrade ONE piece of gear, I need to salvage at least SIX Legendary Weapons, 14 Rare or greater Items, and 20 Magic or greater Items. I would also need to sell around 8 Legendary items, or 16 Rare items, or 32 Magic items. So in order to upgrade ONE weapon with ONE Aspect, I have to farm, at minimum:
- SIX Legendary weapons to Salvage
- EIGHT Rare items to Salvage
- SIX Magic items to Salvage
- EIGHT more Legendaries to Sell (letās assume best possible luck)
That means at minimum, I need to farm at least 28 item drops, 16 of which need to be Legendary to be maximally time-efficient. Letās assume a pack of Elites drops 1 item of random quality and it takes 20 seconds to kill one monster and each pack has 3 monsters in it. That is 1 minute per pack, taking 28 minutes to farm if you are insanely lucky and grind one pack of Elites one after another with no down time. Now ask yourself: Are you willing to spend 28 minutes per level farming enough gear to get ONE aspect, in which time you will have gained 3-4 levels and the piece of gear you have is now obsolete by the time it is upgraded? Just think about it for a few minutes. 
By the way, this is all going to take exponentially longer if you donāt luck out and get SIX Legendary weapons to all drop on the first try.
Yeah except you donāt need to upgrade a legendary neck because itās pointless in the leveling phase, you upgrade a yellow rare neck for almost free. It has 1 less affix but you only need the aspect so you save all your mats till 60.
I do get what you are saying but your experience and mine seem to be different. I have almost all GA 800 gear. All the uniques I needed basically fell on my lap. Double GA for my unique weapon. Maybe Iāve been stupid lucky this season. God knows that most seasons I am not.
Who mentioned anything about a Neck? Iām talking about the cost to upgrade a Rare Weapon with one Aspect.
You donāt need your basic attack at 5/5. 4 of those points are better spent elsewhere.
