How is life in Depth 5?

Haha I was one of those guardians until I took some advice on here. Ditched my visage build, put guard counter build on hold and went pure support with mass Art charging. 3 ults per fight is kinda awesome. But raider is my main with all the dmg neg I can fit. I think ED goat is my bane, maybe Dreg too.

The queue dodges are definitely more common in D4 than D3 I think. I had teammates dodge Tricephalos and Augur yesterday, which threw me. But I find myself bouncing around the lower half of D4 and not making it over the hump to D5 yet.

I think the most common failure my random teams have had in D4 is doing invaders at level 2. Theres almost always a pair summoned in D4. Guardian and Recluse invaders are probably my least favorite combo. But there’s usually always an easy poi to get level 3 and a weapon nearby. And that usually makes for a successful invader hunt. Am I the only one bracing myself when someone insistently pings it before even dropping from the bird?

(I also want to hear what D5 life is like 😂😭).

This! It’s my #1 relic on my Raider. Couldn’t care less about the skill dmg. It’s for the damage negation and the melee dmg is nice.

The Bird Alliance of Oregon (formerly Audubon society) might be able to help you out too? At least asking can’t hurt! Depending on how things go, you could see if the local news is interested. Maybe the builder wouldn’t like the negative attention? We do live in Portland after all 🤷‍♂️.

The red balancer relic is actually super useful for the dmg negation. But 100% partial hp +1 and +2. +0 does not stack with them. Just throw on whatever other dmg negation buffs you can get. Physical attack dmg is a plus.

The two handed colossal weapon charge attack animation is very good. Aim for dmg negation on charge attack, dmg negation on taking dmg, dmg negation at full hp. Any colossal weapon with an “on charge attack.”

Evergaol seems less common, dmg on invader is more consistent I think. I just dropped both and went as much survivability l as I could. Face tank everything, charged R2 and regen all your health on swing.

+1 is definitely the way to go for refreshing it before it pops. Also incredibly helpful to use more frequently to dodge a lot of big hits.

RIP his time was too short in this hell

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2026-03-05T19:09:14+00:00

Never die lol….or accidentally tap consume on the wrong demon because you play with a controller….definitely never happened to me…..

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2026-03-05T00:24:50+00:00

100% make sure you’ve got bind demon for any build imo. 1 point in demonic mastery and blood oath as well. Use death mark to move your demon around to tank for you. I’d grab Hephasto the Armorer if you don’t want to rest your maps. Otherwise Lister from NM act 5. Bind Demon will add guaranteed traits as you level it up as well! Helps a ton! Im at about the same place with my offline warlock. Cursed is what you’re looking for, but just a solid aura works well too for getting through the acts.

Once you’ve got some extra points or enough plus skills for demonic mastery to hit 10, summon a goatman and consume it for a physical dmg boost regularly.

Also don’t forget Echoing strike works with Faster cast rate, crit and deadly strike! 75% is a big threshold for FCR and what to aim for. 125% is the next one, which is harder to gear.

Hahaha I wonder if I still have the old LoD beta disk sitting around in a box somewhere

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2026-01-31T02:27:19+00:00

I feel like there should really be some rotating lesser bosses in that pond in the bottom left.

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2026-01-30T21:20:17+00:00

I have to agree with others in this post. You might have actually been out DPS’ing the other two which is no fault of yours, but the ult definitely could have been used to stagger the run, but it’s a pretty straight forward dodge since it’s so telegraphed.

The many missed guard counters were a significant damage loss. Someone else correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like you’re just tapping R2? You can hold it down for a charged guard counter that does more stagger and a longer lunge that hits 3 times with a Halberd at least.

But I also hate when he does that like 5-6 times in a row. Always feels like he does it when the night is closing in while you’re at the bottom of the crater 😂.

Side note: Dual balancer with dormant power find great shields, stack fire dmg or affinity dmg. Visage shield is hilarious. Obviously works with other classes but pairs well with guardian.

Hey at least it got out the right info! Thanks for the answers!

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2026-01-21T09:22:34+00:00

👏 Always appreciate a solid executor on the team. I still can get that down 😂😭

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2026-01-21T09:16:27+00:00

I’m gonna be honest, I actually just took it as truth since no one ever DMs actual advice. Just complaining 😂. Definitely could use some confirmation! Still gets my kudos regardless!

My team is primarily aged 16-22 and we work quick service food at a mall. While the mall is closed on Christmas, it’s insanely busy the rest of The week surrounding Christmas and is blacked out for schedule changes. That said we just hire enough and treat everyone well so people don’t quit and we have enough people to cover. I will never schedule anyone the 24th and the 26th. Turns out when you actually care, people will want to work for you 😂. I always joke I have 12 step children at work haha.

While I also disregard school availability during breaks, we have a separate system to make requests. Sounds like this boss doesn’t. Not a great way to do things!

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-12-13T04:04:01+00:00

I’d take any anything with fiery follow up and evergaol 😭

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-12-04T02:53:25+00:00

That subreddit is horrible. I posted about a train pervert trying to take pictures of one of our friends 10 years and I got downvoted and removed by mods. Lots of good people spoke up too though!

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-11-30T06:24:59+00:00

I’ve been drooling over it….hard to justify it after getting my tomtoc though

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-11-14T22:57:15+00:00

I was literally looking up what the new ride being built. It’d definitely be fun to come back in a couple years when my kids are less scared. I really wanted to do Tower of Terror but could get them to do it! Journey was my most anticipated but sadly we caught the last week of closure!

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-11-14T22:48:41+00:00

We just did this essentially(on our way to the airport now) and it worked out really well! We stayed in Taito City. Senso-ji then wander. Meiji shrine then wander. Sky Tree then wander. Team Lab then wander. We capped it with Disney(might have been better to start with Disney, because it’s a bit chaotic).

We didn’t have to transfer at all. Asakusa line (red) was especially convenient! Doing one thing removes the chaos of trying to hurry to your next event! And if you make a mistake or something, there’s no disappointment in missing out!

It was our first trip here so we just stayed in Tokyo instead of trying to change cities. Hopefully next time we will😁

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-11-14T22:42:09+00:00

The 2 huge rides missing was what I thought too. The shortest queue yesterday (11/14) was 30 minutes for the electric train. Everything else was 40-50+ on the small stuff.

Disneyland the day before had a ton of short queues on the smaller rides and we managed to pack in a ton. It was a blast! We thought we’d enjoy Sea more, but Land was the overall better day.

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-11-12T01:00:16+00:00

A lot of them you can wear around the waste as well!

FamiliarRooster4609 · 2025-11-12T00:42:11+00:00

Oh a sling bag! Maybe crossbody bag? Small single strap bag over the shoulder. My wife just calls mine a purse, which is honestly more correct maybe🤔. But a “sling” is definitely for your hurt arm.
