So much player complaining about their build. But look at the aspects you can put on your items, it’s not just simple damage bonus, but more like new skills, like throwing grenades on a dash, get a shield against an elite, increase attack speed, and so on. There’s tons of available aspects.
So my advice, take an easy character (melee rogue, barbarian, werewolf or bear druid, frost sorcerer) and get the maximum aspects you can, even those that are not for your characters, then use them with others characters.
Then the beauty of the game, you can extract aspect from a legendary item and put it on any other items, even another legendary. Just you will need rare component at high level, that you can retrieve by salvaging legendary items.
So I’m quite surprised people complains about the lack of stashes, because if you really want the best aspects on your gear, you gonna salvage a lot
Then, just to says it again, Diablo 4 is an amazing game.
Did you have try to use a double hydra aspect with a frost nova specialization so hydra will have some chance to cast frost nova on hit? Then in addition some chance to cast meteor on hit, so double cast? That’s the much funny aspect I ever play on a fire sorcerer
Double hydra was the only aspect I saw that felt significant. But hydra sucks so hard that I wasn’t using it. And having two hydras instead of 1 is still uninspired. Why even just 2? Why not 5 or 10? Why do D4 characters have to feel so weak??? D2 sorc skills look so much cooler, more powerful.
I didn’t know you could have them doing frost novas though. That sounds interesting.
I was mainly just using firewalls for damage and the only firewall aspect I saw was the +movement speed for a few seconds when touching your own firewall. The speed didn’t feel that significant to me. It didn’t feel more fun. When I was using it, I wasn’t even sure if it was working or not most of the time. But, in any case, that’s just one aspect. There should be WAY more aspects for firewall and all the other skills imo. This is an ARPG, it’s all about the items and skills. Making an ARPG with such limited and uninspired items and skills just makes no sense to me.
It’s only SOME of the aspects in the game. You have to find the others by getting lucky a legendary will come with it. A lot of new players think it’s all aspects that you can unlock at the enchanter. That’s sadly not the case.
You will also find out you need Sacred Aspects for Sacred Gear and Ancestral Aspects for Ancestral gear. It gets really annoying and is honestly not that great of a system.
I have two copies of every aspect stashed, it takes up so much space, but I do keep swapping them out with better ones. This way I can replace them immediately when I get an upgrade. I don’t know if I have them all, but I do have roughly 30 of 'em.
Being able to Imprint aspect to other pieces of gear is great. No more chasing after a legendary only for it to have bad affixes. Some of the Lucky Hit aspects needs higher proc chances. At least give us something over 50%.
legendary aspects are the worst. This 2012 thing destroy the franchise. It force you to play the way devs want not the way you want! Be more generalistic like good old d2. +to skills is the way to go.
I quit sorc caus of aspects… optimal way= teleport so enemy are pulled nd stunned, you must use flame shield so they are immobolized, than use frost nova so they are frozen, than profit from aspect which make you deal 70x more dmg from each effect…. Am l a child? I want to play the way l want not the way you force upon me…. This is a fantasy game…
aspects are atrocious as is all itemization in this mess of a rpg which lost all its connections to the grandfathers of the genre the legendary d1 and d2.
Where are the jewels? Runes? Crafting? Uniques? Charms? Normal runeword bases, good affixes, items with soul? In d2 see ya
Aspects are just legendaries from D3 that you can now transfer to another piece of gear. It’s still basically making it so that nearly every item you see will be useless. I don’t think aspects should be so important and the entire game is balanced around it by allowing them on every single piece of gear. This causes many of the same issues that D3 has when it comes to build diversity and being required to be wearing a full set of legendaries.
As far as your stash space argument, most of us likely play multiple classes and would like to try out different builds, so your solution is not nearly as simple as you make it out to be. Fact is, we need more stash space, not just for aspects, but for gear so we can store items for other characters or for a different build. Aspects need their own storage space. Or, better yet, create an interface for them so that it will show you the number you have available to apply instead of it being an item.
Each character should have their own personal storage and then there should be the account wide ones. Nearly every arpg does this. I want to store the items for my druid on my druid, not mixed in with all of the other items for my various characters. The stash is a mess.
Nope, 2 post’s. you are just trolling. D4 came out a month ago alot more is going to happen soon to come but some people just want to rush rush rush. get to 100 and nothing to do. This is why I play slow I am 86 I enjoy the game. Do I want a Shako drop sure, but It will when it does. Season is going to be interesting the video will be out soon.
I don’t like the aspect system, to be honest. It’s take less damage, do more damage, and the skill modify ones are actually the worst ones because they basically just fix skills that should never have been broken.
On Rogue if you want to make your Shadow Clone ultimate use imbues. There goes a aspect slot. If you want it to mimic your dash? There goes an aspect slot. If you want it to actually mimic what you do you basically end up wasting slots “Fixing” your broken skill. It says SHADOW CLONE. Why is it not cloning what I do, so freaking bad of a system.
Things getting more powerful should be tied to their skill level with breakpoints unlocking new features or the features just always being there, cuz you know, skills that do what they are supposed to instead of being limited and broken up across legendaries are way more fun to use.
I agree some skills and aspects needs to have some rebalance, some aspects are too lights, some skills too. Though the shadow dash will spawn a new shadow, if I’ve read it correctly, and the shadow imbue, I guess it’s because double poison can be very powerful, so they put it on an aspect.
Then… play the build you want? Just because one set of skills is better doesn’t mean all other skills can’t be played.
No it isn’t, because you can find a legendary with a good aspect roll but bad affixes and put it on a rare with good affixes. The reason items seem useless at later levels is because you already have top tier gear with good affixes.
Do you, though, or are you storing a lot of garbage because you think maybe someday it will be useful? Each character has enough space to store two of every aspect they will use (except barbs…) on the character directly. I’m not saying I wouldn’t take 10 more tabs, I just think I would fill them with garbage in a couple days and be back to complaining about not enough space.
Nah, breaking them up across legendaries is way more fun. You get to find different ways to make the skills work, combine them or not, and most importantly, you have to trade general power that all classes can access (the generic aspects) for more class-specific power.
This will get way better over time as they add more legendaries and there are more and more interesting choices to make. If you put all the skill-changing stuff on the skill tree, then there would be no interesting legendaries at all, because the only things the classes share are movement, damage, defense, and resource gen.
D4 is fun. It’s a fun ARPG. I got my rogue to 67 or something. Never did WT4 though.
But I really dislike how your RAW power is absolutely non-existent. It’s all comes to min-maxing RNG drops.
If some of that content, dungeons, sigils, mounts, cosmetics etc etc etc, were added to Diablo 2, I’d play it until i’m on death bed. Maybe i’m just too old school. But D2 is awesome. I still play it.
