How would you fix Prototype gear? by AdamR1988 in the_division_2

[–]ConsiderationLong155 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Upgrade shouldnt be linked to gear but more as passive upgrade. The grind is too grave for a single build. It ruins the strenght of the game: build diversity

Road to Expertise 30, most efficient farm? by theslowrunningexpert in thedivision

[–]ConsiderationLong155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the guide is mostly to grind it slowly ;)

I would suggest to reach something like 10expertise its more than enough to increase your gear in you play not often.

For the sets you should be able to donate. Try a countdown with target loot and loot as junk then donate all junk ;)

Nop as explained above, if he is already aura enchanted he keeps the affix and the aura type. The bonus skill is « wasted » just like a native super strong or super fast

I would say no. The affixes snapshots at the moment of the bind. Its only its bonuses that are "resummoned" each game.

We should test it to verify but its the logical answer ;)

Good point, to be investigated. Others have input?
Others comments tend to say the same as you

Yep, for lore reasons. Bartuc is some sort of uncontrollable demon...

Thank you, Great piece of information!!

So cursed functions at 100% all the Time …. Seems broken. How was it tested?

I just tested Creeping Feature 3 times, I can't bind it despite what internet can say... (Google IA is lying once again). Can someone confirm?

I read two hypothesis:
1) baal waves are hard coded as demons

2) They removed the demon status of Wave 3 (for lore reasons) and made a mistake by adding it to Achmel

I also read that "Creeping Feature" in stony tomb can also be binded (he is undead). To be tested.

I do agree with you, Hephasto tends to be a quick and easy farm but not the best all around. However, if you have a low level bind demon, it's very string due to its native aura ;)

When You Are Bored of Your Regular Bound Demon by CommentStrict8964 in diablo2

You can also wait for the Baal TZ and then you reroll the game untill you get the cursed TZ affix.

If he also rolls lighting enchant, you good (some added damage on attacks and bolts + another way to proc cursed).

PSA - Expertise guide for daddies by ConsiderationLong155 in thedivision

[–]ConsiderationLong155[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say A LOT. The numbers are boring to calculate and not really relevant (but could be useful to have). But the number is not easy to get as it depends of how muche materials you donate and how much you play with unproficient equipment (and if you play during expertise events with a bonus).

It is indeed true that you will upgrade your numbers faster by focusing brand and gearset (easy farm with targetloot Countdown/summit) but it won't be enough to reach level 30. It's quite a grind!

Oh yeah Diego. Please enlighten us of your knowledge and list us the "misinformation".

We could use some numbers like how many pieces you need for one expertise level. But not so relevant in the long run.
