T3 - T4 too hard threads

I call it too, if you buy bis gear and mats to MW etc , then maybe. You get it done. In T4 it would likely take a broken, bugged, busted whatever build/Season power to do it.

Again people are really playing different versions, based on ssf, player trading, BM.

So it really depends what people are expecting when they copy paste, and like any cheater on the test, you only know how to copy not how to pass the test.

If you read a full guide, then you learn something and will be able to adjust the build to the gear you get and likely not have the same level of problem, since you take the time to learn why it works and how to plug some leaks yourself, when you donā€™t have the 1:1 gear. Any site with a detailed guide worth its weight has this.

I use it in mmoā€™s since and all the best builds use gear i donā€™t have, cannot buy etc, so i need to adjust for that. Usually its a simple matter of defense is in check while taking the least dmg cut i can, with what i have. Better to be alive, no point having the damage if you face plant the floor, i also see that in the mmoā€™s i play, and i am constantly playing medic :joy:

This is why negative crying like this shouldnā€™t be overly listened too, changing solves nothing and only leads to a boring game where everyone wins without effort.

Probably should have a ssf, or do something about trading. Trading works in mmorpgā€™s, if you put the same trading post in game as one, this really defeats the purpose of finding loot, and dealing with rng. which is part of what makes diablo.

The fact that you think we need rmt to snowball t4 with a homebrew build in the easiest arpg out thereā€¦ Yikes.

Ty for the accusation, this reminds me when I was banned from multiple cod2 servers back then because I must have been cheating when those guys had worse aim than grandma. It was rather a compliment.

Not what i was intending. I donā€™t think whatever you think i do. Just saying finding gear is not the same as buying gear. There was nothing personal. Looking at the table spread and like anyone, giving my perspective on lunch.

I didnā€™t say one was right or wrong way to play, but imo the game is different. Since someone buying are bypassing the normal core function, of a ssf game. I donā€™t care if you want to trade, jsut saying what do you expect the game to be the same pace as someone that doesnā€™t, ofc not. Didnā€™t mean that i thought that was cheating.

Accusation, for what exactly. I was using a metaphor to explain a point. Didnā€™t intend to say, whatever you think i did.

I can try to clear it up, but there was no intended accusation fellow gamer.

I have been accused of hacking in shooters too, feels nice.

are you using the lam esen staff? those charged bolts swarming the enemy like a school of fish is quite a scene. :blush:

25

Alright, weā€™re cool.

Well I said in one of the comments I got gz gear with meta hydra sorc and thatā€™s why it took only 3 days (leveling in campaign) with it. IF I didnā€™t have the mythics and nice uniques it would have taken much more time but still doable. Balance is still bad but my point was that even offmeta builds can clear t4 even if the journey is longer.

Yep, like others said going for azure would be more efficient esp with my fists of fate but I wanted to make it work with the staff.

The screen is pretty much full with bolts and the shocking skills from unstable currents procs.

Unfortunately the 2 charged bolts aspects are horrible so I skipped them - one needs 50 hits to send 3 waves lolā€¦ and the other one is a stupid kiss curse aspect which ofc only sorc has.

27

On T4, a poison werewolf through the Grizzly Rage build and the Laserate build worken, too. I think they have a potential, but Iā€™m lazy, and the game is boring, so I wonā€™t build up my strength to push further than the 60th pit. Anyone who wanteth can try will conjure with them.

charged bolts have very high lucky hit chance. last time i used firebolt enchantment + XFAL, the fire burn DoT kept exploding on enemies. also, before the internal cooldown change on andariel visage, charged boltsā€™ high lucky hit would proc the poison effect non stop. too bad now only some ice stuff left to play with.

Cool, i am not even sure i read that, i think i was just thinking out loud on the topic of the thread. I meant nothing by it to anyone though. :+1:

Yes, and with fists of fate combined the floor is full with crackling energies so even if esadoras proc rate is fixed 15% there are so many crackling it just wipes the screen very frequently with lightning novas. True eye candy.

yes, this esadora lightning nova is something i always wanted to have fun with. it is the only nova besides ice nova. sorc skills feel so scarce.

every season i keep some good GA esadora hoping to put them to good use, and every season they all go to eternal still in new condition. :weary:

Iā€™m having a blast in T4 with an evade spiritborn. Iā€™ll see how high I can go with him in pits but leveling and farming are fun.

33

If I recall correctly the very first iteration of sorc skill tree had lightning nova either as active skill or something you could passively trigger.

Would be nice if frost nova was just nova and you could choose its elementā€¦

34

canā€™t remember seeing anything other than frost nova in S0. you probably experienced it during beta? yeah, jeez, the skill tree is so old you could click through it by muscle memory in blindfolded.

35

No I have never seen it ingame, it was either a datamined skill tree or maybe a quarterly update? Or was I high?

Edit: found it! Donā€™t know which alpha version was it but it was a mastery skill which was replaced by lightning spear. It was a passive ability: after spending 145 mana you unleash a lightning nova for x dmg.

I always wanted to try out the Ahavarion Staff with the Esadora.
This season i got my first one with 3 GA, including all stats.

37

Iā€™m a very casual player and I find that Torment tiers are well balanced with the exception of some lair bosses with stupid mechanics being completely mistuned.

38

This one is hard to justify but the waves trigger faster than you think if you have the pierce one and Liam Neeson.

But yeah you need the pierce aspect. Just to have more of them out there for longer.
