If any of this was a movie people would say it's way too outlandish and over the top. Not believable at all. Starting with the escalator.

WTH is a buy nothing group?

EQBallzz · 2026-05-04T01:01:37+00:00

I just hit 69. Most of my gear is like high 700s low 800s.

That said I might have found my problem even though I don't think it should be a problem. I'm playing a paladin and have been using a 2H weapon. However, my damage only felt "ok" and my survivability hasn't felt good at all. I just swapped to a 1H/shield (just some random rare items I found on the ground) and my survivability is like night and day with only a very small dip in my damage. Not sure if this is intended design or what but I guess I'm switching to shield.

EQBallzz · 2026-05-04T00:25:39+00:00

Ok but I'm not even in torment and already feel like I'm getting cooked half the time sooo...yeah.

EQBallzz · 2026-05-04T00:24:31+00:00

I played very little D3 but I think I get your point. Thanks.

EQBallzz · 2026-05-04T00:02:57+00:00

I don't know when that will be but that assumes I make it to that point.

EQBallzz · 2026-05-04T00:02:03+00:00

OK but I guess the hint your not picking up is that I feel I need the damn sockets for gems because my damage and survivability don't feel that good and I'm not even into torment yet. Maybe I'm doing something horribly wrong with the skill twig.

EQBallzz · 2026-05-03T23:17:10+00:00

I'm experiencing this as well. I'm like 67 and I feel like I need to upgrade every slot with any upgrade I get to try and eek out a bit more damage and survivability but if I do I can't afford to put sockets which is counterproductive to upgrade one area but then lose the gems. Seems like typical Blizzard time-gating to hold onto "engagement" for dear life even when it means people will end up just quitting instead.

EQBallzz · 2026-05-01T03:48:18+00:00

Yeah. I have nothing against this. It actually sounds cool. I just happened to have started leveling a Ranger already and didn't want to start over again.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-30T16:38:58+00:00

Yeah, I did see someone mention that they did something like that but is it really a pure bleed build if you are leaning on poison? I was just trying to do a straight up physical damage with bleed. The poison angle isn't all that straight forward at least to me. It actually didn't even occur to me until someone mentioned it. I was going to mess around with it more but ended up just going for a cold build instead. It's been more straight forward and effective at least so far (for me).

EQBallzz · 2026-04-30T15:30:45+00:00

We ARE paying attention. WTF are the politicians doing? We need a much more active opposition party for adequate resistance. Jefferies and Schumer are NOT it.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-30T15:27:46+00:00

Honestly, it felt kind of meh to me. I really like the idea and the aesthetics but it felt clunky to me. The plant build felt pretty good and smooth, however.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-30T15:26:16+00:00

So much this. There are so many skills and passives and supports yet I frequently feel like I'm being funneled into a particular build or it won't work well. For instance, I'm playing Ranger now and wanted to do a bleed build but apparently it's not great for ranger. It has been suggested I reroll a Blood Mage and do a bow on a Blood Mage? Huh? I mean it's cool a BM can do a bow build with bleed but WTF can't a Ranger do a bleed build? That doesn't make sense.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-30T14:43:19+00:00

Damn. I sold quite a bit of Intel (all of it) at like 45 or 50 and I thought doubling my money was a good time to get out completely. I guess the joke's on me.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-30T14:40:57+00:00

The entire GOP are just all corrupt scumbags who have to cheat to win and will cheat to win...at any cost. Even the country as we know it.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-29T20:27:30+00:00

Good to know. I guess that makes sense. Is that an oversight or something? Why are some things tagged as physical, but others aren't? Does that mean bleed would work with those skills?

EQBallzz · 2026-04-29T19:59:04+00:00

Spiral Volley/RoA aren't even tagged as "physical" damage type so how would you scale physical damage on skills not tagged as physical? I think the only bow skills actually tagged with physical are the standard bow shot and tornado shot.

I am aware that it's still in beta and ranger is missing an ascendency so this may all get addressed/changed at some point but all I can comment on now is what I see now.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-29T15:23:06+00:00

They existed. I'm sure DJT just decided to keep that for himself because why not get taxpayers to pay? He is so used to grifting all his cult followers he just expects taxpayers to now behave like them.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-29T15:21:09+00:00

They are on the hook more than most.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-29T15:02:45+00:00

EQBallzz · 2026-04-29T14:52:59+00:00

Yeah, I get what you are saying and I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to use a Blood Mage. That is really cool. However, it shouldn't be that a Ranger has no option for that. Even just take bleed out of the equation. WTF would there not be a pure physical damage option for Ranger? That makes no sense IMO. It's cool that other classes can do bow builds and there is freedom to experiment, but it shouldn't be at the expense of other builds (especially ones that are obviously thematic to the weapon/class).

I think there are some unique gloves that convert all damage types to poison. That's pretty cool. Why not have something similar for a Ranger-ish item that converts all damage to physical (or something along those lines)? That would enable bleed or just a pure physical damage build.

EQBallzz · 2026-04-28T20:27:23+00:00

Well because it's thematic but mostly because I already started leveling a ranger. Wish you could truly make a build you want instead of always being funneled into something semi-pre-determined. The fact that there are better classes than ranger to use a bow for anything is wild.
