Update I’m in World Tier 4 on day 2 of the season. I never once looked at a guide, although I’ll admit there was stuff I already knew from previous seasons and I had to Google certain things.
Update: I cleared the WT 3 capstone on the first night of season four at level 41 to defeat the level 50+ capstone boss.
I plan on making my own build, aside from using the Necromancer Minion Army gear that the Season Journey will influence me to use. I believe that content creators with build guides, only give enough info to keep you coming back to the next video, a term I coined is “breadcrumbing you”.
Getting carried through the capstone is a really anti climactic event, so my plan is to,
Remain in World Tier 2 for weeks at a time. And slowly build a World Tier 2 twink, as it were, that can defeat the capstone boss to get into World Tier 3. I got influence from the World of Warcraft South Park episode, when the South Park characters plan to avoid PVP with an overpowered ganker, the kids farm millions of boars in the woods where nobody would look, to get to level cap, and eventually obtained, The Sword of A Thousand Truths, and defeat the overpowered enemy ganker. So taking that idea and running with it, I will ignore all diablo content creator meta builds and just make a build that I like, and probably get guided items from the Season Journey for Minion Army which is a good starting point. An afterthought here is probably make the Minion Army a boss killer that can take out waves of adds as well to customize the build to defeat the Capstone boss.
For instance by the time I finally make a meta build there will be a new build to use. It’s an endless cycle, and these creators are paying their mortgages by, breadcrumbing viewers, and giving enough info to keep you coming back.
Basically I unfollow’d all the Diablo content creators and, now that I’m interested in Season 4, I did follow the Devs and Community workers for Diablo on socials. And I watched the campfire chat as well as the official Diablo YouTube videos. I’m glad to see Bluddshed got promoted to work for the team at Diablo officially. Legend.
Anyway this is my choice and I will basically be making my own fun. I’m going to stay in World Tier 2 for probably a couple weeks to farm up a World Tier 2 twink with a build I enjoy and then finally take down the Capstone boss myself.
I’m doing this to make my own fun. I mean this in a lighthearted way.
Note: I made a similar post in January but, I know not to Necro / bump posts.
