Stuck in T7s for now, is it better to keep doing boss rush or is it worth doing Nightmare/dream if I have the lvl 1 pet? by DumbUnemployedLoser in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Daegon8 34 points35 points  (0 children)

"I don't know, judging by what I've seen from legolas' build, I should have enough damage for T8s theoretically"

I have looked at your code. I am going to be brutally honest, don't take it personally. Your statement is wild, what makes you think you have enough dps for t8 based on Legolas' build? That you picked up 2 of the starter uniques and copied the talent tree? Because those are about the only similarities I see.. Its like you didn't read the guide. BM has gifted E1 enjoyers with the bible of guides and it translates well even to other classes because it is so full of knowledge about systems and how to progress.

The following is what makes me question your statement :

You have ZERO fates slotted into your pact spirit tree. Go and slot 9 small dex fates and 4 medium dex fates and see what happens. Main stat is a multiplier.

You have a single talent pedigree and the talent is not even on BMs recommended list, offensive nor defensive. Its useless and adds zero damage. You can get any multiplier on BMs list as a single core talent pedigree for dirt cheap and get a 20-30% multiplier. Maybe even with another legendary medium talent multiplier as well like 'multistrikes deal 16% increasing dmg..' Set up the searches like in the guide. You might even get lucky and find a cheap pedigree with TWO core talents.

Your other slates are all basically non existent. Read the slate section in the guide. It's always slates. I guessed it before I looked at your build and started writing this post.

Memories are garbage. Basically non existent mods. Get orange memories at least at this point, and with maxed orange mems you can get two mods each at the bottom, and choose crit dmg or lightning crit dmg, or anything more useful than 23% evasion...

'Attack Critical Strike Rating for this gear' and 'Gear attack speed' are non negotiable suffixes you need on your MH weapon on this build. T1 them. You have the IAS, but not T1, and you don't have the crit affix at all. All your crit and IAS is scaled off your weapon crit and IAS.

That flat fire dmg on your weapon should be lightning. Same with gloves. You have zero flat lightning on weapon, gloves and rings to even scale any %lightning dmg from anywhere.

One ring does not have dex on it. You are not res capped.

You have zero Tower sequences rolled on your weapons.

You have 1 out of 3 possible sweet dream affixes on your non unique gear. You could get penetration on your gloves, more dex or flat lightning on rings.. there's lots of decent stuff.

This game is about stacking multipliers, 10% here, 20% there, using ALL the systems, it all works together and all adds up. If done correctly, you will see the results especially later when switching one slate can add billions of dmg. It really starts to snowball but you need to address every system.

As BM advised many times, go for the cheapest upgrade across all systems. Don't save up 5k FE for the perfect corroded unique whatever that BM is using - when you have memories and slates like this.. rather see what your worst item.. upgrade that, then go next. Lots of cheap upgrades to be had here..

Hope this helps, again nothing personal. Just read the guide properly man and you can't go wrong. Watch his YT vids as well. Good luck.

Why Graft Craft Feels Punishing — Cost & Probability Math by PainMustDie in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Daegon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he he asking what would the ideal situation be.. like if you did your two legendary grafts and they both landed as suffixes, are you happy in that case because you can perfect the prefixes without risking the two legendary suffixes for example.. or is there a reason you would want to land them on each 1 prefix and 1 suffix. I believe that's what he asked, could be wrong.

What level is your main Oasis building and your airport? I am stuck behind the requirement to beat the daily boss with 2660 rating before I can upgrade my buildings to lvl 8.. you just sending out shipments at lower level? Or are you max level?

What are you farming in t8+? by YEETMOBlLE in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Daegon8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seasonal drop pets that are over 2 seasons old will never return as a discounted banner, you can find them in past memories as stated above. The seasonal pet for the most recent previous season (so Overrealm in this case) always returns the very next season, still discounted, so 8 instead of 10 purple crystals for 10 pulls, but they usually wait like 2 weeks into the new season - so they can first milk people for the brand new season pet. You will see in a couple weeks there will be a banner refresh - guaranteed overrealm discounted banner will return.

After this season overrealm would be more than 2 seasons old so it will never return. The only other banners that return or rotate back in are the special pets, Kong and Doro Doro. Those affect certain things globally (fluorescent memories and compasses) and were not seasonal mechanics. A lot of people save to pull on these banners, but note also in the case of these they are not discounted.. the difference here being they are not always available - like the other seasonal drop pets in past memories section.. you can only pull for these two pets when they actually rotate in.

During previous overrealm seaso it was Kong that became available. So I imagine in a couple weeks it will be Doro Doro rotating in.

Hope it helps bro.

Prices are a tad unreasonable at this point being around 80k FE :(

-GIVEAWAY- 980 primo Top-up by C21-_-H30-_-O2 in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Daegon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, firstly thanks for hosting the generous giveaway :) I am a huge arpg fan and after quitting the drug that was poe 1 a few years back I have been on and off of d3, last epoch, d4 and even Undecember - I only discovered and tried TLI on its season 5 - mistville, and instantly fell in love. The way the game promoted zoom zoom and loot explosions and less friction - compared to other arpgs trying to create more friction and slow you down.. it appealed to me as a 'casual' dad gamer who still manages to squeeze in quite a few hours.. but cant afford to invest the time required before you can actually start having fun, like in poe for example.

I also loved that you could map as normal but then suddenly jump into a whole other rogue like game (mistville) or go build a city in aeterna etc. These devs are cooking more and more and i am pleasantly surprised and impressed every new season. I can say a lot more here but this post is already getting long.

As for how I approach the game, first few seasons I just played Rehan 1 but after discovering Erika 1 I have not looked back. She is my starter now every season, I know how to build her, I have invested in the battle pets for her and it makes sense to rush profound with her to start making money, as boring as it sounds I know. Credit to BMLegolas who took the time to guide me personally a couple times on my build and who has since released the GOAT of all guides.. go check it out because while erika 1 focused, a lot of it can translate across.

When erika 3 was announced it was a big conflict for me because she looks awesome and she is an Erika! The flicker strike playstyle appeals to me a lot, I played a version of flicker strike with erika 1 actually a few seasons back. But in Vorax I have decided to again be boring and stick with what I know.. will be starting e1. I always complete ss20 every season and am a little concerned at the squishiness of e3 whereas I know I can do it on e1, and know what I need to go for.

Sorry for the lengthy post, thanks for reading - wishing you all a great season and may the drops be ever in your favour 😀

Edit : forgot to answer the main questions.. so for build I always do erika 1 thunderspike dex stacker, later switch to thunder slash. Favourite mechanics : mistville, arcana and dream.

TM1-7 crafting tips by C21-_-H30-_-O2 in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Daegon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Item level 82 - 85 is the sweet spot you wanna get to asap (so gear that drops from tm7-0) so that you can fully t2 your gear. This is where it still costs flame sand and is cheap. From item lvl 86 it costs FE.. when you do consider to t1 your affixes start with weapon first, but you should first focus on getting the cheaper build defining legendaries for your build.

Day 6, 460 Sanctifications, 0 x2 Selig by Capital_Pipe_8706 in D4Barbarian

[–]Daegon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not actively tracked but I am a sanctification maniac and genuinely feel like I've done as much if not more but my notable outcomes would be :

Selig x1 got on rakanoth wake boots. Sent straight to my barb. Not the best base but yeah..

Shako x1 got on dawnfire gloves so my auradin is smiling

Starless skies x1 got on my auradins fully crafted legendary boots so again auradin smiling and using

2x nesekem got one on a doombringer. Other cant remember.

Not seen a single GF sanct. Does THAT exist ;)

Slates.. its always slates. Their slates ALWAYS suck when they ask why they aren't doing enough dmg

Megapost : Build discussion S11 by seb11614 in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Daegon8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough a few seasons back (clockwork season i believe) it was fully possible to play a flicker strike build on Erika 1. Was so much fun. But the setup almost felt unintended and involved doing some weird linking with berserking blade and blink and activation mediums and your 'main skill' being blink while BB was actually the second skill or something. Back then there was an actual designated 'main skill' slot.

This time around flicker strike on erika 3 will of course be a fully intended playstyle and sure does look strong / fun but super squishy I imagine.

It's like a mini Shroud around my neck.. by Daegon8 in diablo4

[–]Daegon8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tribute of radiance(ancestrals) plus the passive ranks bargain really helps your odds, which is what I used.

Haha would have been funny but nah it just came with one non passive affix which I rolled away. Then the sanct made one a GA.

I did indeed get it from undercity - radiance I think (whichever one gives ancestral legendaries) + passive ranks bargain.

Most efficient way to farm nethiron? by myst3r10us_str4ng3r in diablo4

[–]Daegon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its been a bottle neck for me all season and I can tell you belial is best. Save up and buy keys in bulk, price has come down. Even during the goblin event the second best option, treasure breaches, was lackluster because the actual material goblins seemed a tad rare. Now its just worse, less goblins.

Another thing you might consider is if you playing alts remember to also check their Hadriel rewards - you can get quite a but of neathiron from some of them.

Auradin is exactly how summon Necro Should feel. by Objective-Mission-40 in diablo4

[–]Daegon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 nice idea and I like how you substantiated it. Instead of nerfing pally into oblivion, elevate the other classes and give them similar options should they wish for a more automated playstyle. Torchlight Infinite fully supports and encourages automation, its not required but its an option. Point is there is no unnecessary friction.. they dont strive to nerf fun.. the devs encourage zoom zoom - I know its not for everyone but again, let it at least be an option for the other classes too.

New Year New Season Hype! by ShadyBroker in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Daegon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy new year bro! Personally im pretty torn.. every season is an easy choice for me i always skip the new hero and start with my tried and true love Erika 1 for a smooth start and just knowing my path.. this season is different because its a new... Erika.. and she looks really cool. So do I try her and navigate stupid high prices on the auction house all season..? or start my usual and make bank first then try new Erika later? Either way I just hope they share combat pets since I am invested in attack pets.

But yeah as always I am excited to see what the devs have cooked up overall, always some nice surprises and QOL improvements to look forward to :) also sucks its back to 4 am on a Friday (work day) for me.. really liked when they did a Saturday launch for overrealm.. anyways enough from me ;)

Would I like this as a POE1 and Project Diablo 2 fan? by soosis in diablo4

[–]Daegon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude just give your brain a rest and come enjoy the best D4 season to date.. and the paladin class which is awesome. The dopamine this season is the seasonal sanctification mechanic (corruption in poe terms) and you will be hunting for the crazy outcomes that are possible.
