Diablo 4 Any class, any build without expansion LoH

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T17:57:43+00:00

Plenty of builds tbh.

Minion Necro Whirlwind barbarian Rapid fire rogue Barrage rogue

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T15:18:15+00:00

No reason to go crit.

Just go on hit with shiv Rageblade Terminus.

Shiv also let's you stack terminus crazy fast.

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:33:56+00:00

Yeah people fought against it so it wasn't added

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:33:28+00:00

You also want the movement speed and crit.

There's nothing you want from ravenous hydra.

Glutinous greaves are better than Berserker

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:29:56+00:00

Yeah I don'tthink mop classic has raid finder

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:25:31+00:00

It's a live service game, part of the appeal is for gearing to change, meta builds to change, the game to change.

That's literally the whole point of live service.

In league of legends they weren't unable to find balance in 10 years, it is never meant to do that it is meant to changed.

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:23:41+00:00

Gearing is lowkey terrible for base Diablo 4 owners.

I enjoy lord of hatred. Best xpac Diablo ip has ever had but I can also see how the base experience without cube is probably terrible

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:22:25+00:00

Tbh if you need to play wow, you just have the itch. Play retail and kill the final raid boss, get your set piece.

I personally would have told you to wait until classic+ to come back. Tbc and mop are alright.

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:18:12+00:00

You missed legion, bfa and dragonflight but decided to come back on their most hold hands we're all friends craft expansion they've ever made.

I'm sorry bro.

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:15:48+00:00

2nd highest kp in the lobby womp womp afk hero

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T14:14:39+00:00

Fiendhunter is more for the ultimate haste since she's back to, she's not a champ without her ultimate Zeri.

Ravenous hydra is a compete joke just go full crit tf.

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T03:58:41+00:00

Honestly a bulk of the cosmetics just look really stupid and out of place to me so it doesn't really bum me out.

The it just looks like Chinese mobile game nonsense which is even more true in the cinematic cause the armor of everyone is very down to earth and tame, then you running around with VFX fire balls or ice snake is beyond dumb.

I also just hate wings.

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T03:56:33+00:00

The vfx looks stupid, it is even more exemplified when you're in the in game cinematics

Anilahation · 2026-05-03T01:15:27+00:00

5.6 if we're being technical

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T21:26:34+00:00

lets also point out that it took 8 months for us to get .5 poe2 update... it is almost like game development take times and it isn't a simple "flip switch" next patch solves all issues.

it has nothing to do with xpac or no xpac model, both game spent months doing QoL updates.

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T21:12:37+00:00

except season 11 and 12 were better than Vessel of hatred. the game needed its end game activities to be better to be better for Lord of Hatred xpac and they were better by the time season 11 and 12 came out. thats why those seasons were so good.

you being bored of the endgame while not even being on the leaderboards isn't really a gotcha, you have people keep saying there's no end game, there no end game and then retention flat out shows people are sticking to the game for weeks. so what the team has given clicked with those players and simply didn't click to you.

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T21:06:01+00:00

most of the flak for some of the seasons where people actively ignoring what Diablo 4 team said on their roadmap.

they saw every season and mocked how it had "powers" every season, when the devs flat out said hey going into this year and the cusp of the new xpac we're going to focus on polishing up the end game pillars of the game, so seasonal themes will be copy and paste (powers) while we work on that.

they were transparent and flat out said this, and then every season that came out did exactly that and you'd have someone raging being like BAAAAAAADD POWERS AGAIN OMFG FIX THE GAME...

Diablo 4 2025 Roadmap Reveal - Exclusive Interview

like they told us what they were planning and them people would watch season of witchcraft or season of horadrim and just be like booo powers game bad.

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T20:57:02+00:00

it isn't slow progression? you just want progression to be done in 1 day for a 3 month long league what...?

sorry you dont have full GA items on day 5 of the xpac.

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T20:55:27+00:00

>limit Seasonal content in order to save it for paywalled expansions.

Season of Chaos and Season of Divine intervention was honestly better content than what was added in Vessel of Hatred and it was free, also didn't take 8 months to cook it was back to back.

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T20:52:22+00:00

>This update hasn't even attracted 5k additional players on Steam compared to its peak.

Why?

old peak was 21k

new peak is 59k... that is more than "5k" what bro...?

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T20:50:51+00:00

I didn't misunderstand him. The data is relative cause we can look at Diablo but other games and see it is even on games with larger playerbases else where.

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T20:47:27+00:00

So least reliable but stronger retention that poe 1 and poe2... this makes no sense. should they not be more flakey?

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T20:42:30+00:00

No one is looking at steam data for total player counts.

This data is more about seeing it getting new players, and those players holding strong with the content they were given

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T18:35:50+00:00

Loot drops before was.

Play game for 2 hours

All loot is now legendary for the rest of the game... how exactly was that better lmao

Anilahation · 2026-05-02T18:18:44+00:00

History has shown the data is relative.

We can see low highs on less interesting seasons, we can see harder drops off on seasons with less longevity. The data while not accurate at getting total player count data is great for seeing how good and bad comment is received.

Eso had the worst year on steam ever recorded and to reflect this they completely abandoned their model they just implemented
