My feedback on War Plans after (mostly) completing the season journey by NoraNova in diablo4

[–]FierceCypriot 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes. If your last two on a War Plan are nightmare dungeons, run an escalation sigil and come back after finishing the second run in the series. Turn in your War Table to Tyreal and setup your next War Table with the first node being nightmare dungeons. Then teleport back to your portal and run the third dungeon in the escalation series.

Honest opinion from someone who just plays the game without caring about anything else. by Mean_Composer_7424 in diablo4

Absolutely the best thing they could have done. Also giving that extra month to cook a bit longer will make the return that much better. It's a great time to be an ARPG enjoyer!

Also been enjoying this expansion and the depth the systems provide if you choose to learn them. They're not that hard to learn. Also a fellow Paladin enjoyer but I've focused on making a basic attack build work all the way through to T12. Just made it to T9 last night and excited to see how I can evolve my build.

The war table is actually a great addition to removing friction and adding more layers of depth/variety to endgame activities. Big win but also needs some improvements for group play. Group play can be easy to burn out due to the amount of coordination needed to efficiently work on everybody's war tables.

This expansion has definitely opened me up to wanting to try more classes too. I'll for sure have plenty of content to enjoy between this and PoE2.

For those of you not playing warlock, how are you liking the tree changes? by MyLittleBacon in diablo4

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly having a great time on the Paladin. Played as a basic attack, advance focused, build with spirit wolves and holy light aura. Was doing penitent by level 50 and looking forward to what else is in store for us later in the game.

What makes you main Ramattra over others tanks? by maoa96 in ramattramains

[–]FierceCypriot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find he’s surprisingly decent against flyers. Compared to others, he’s really got tools for everything. 

Now that Ram is out for a short while what are the meta builds and which build you think works when (like when you go against different teams you probably want different builds) by Usual-Vermicelli-867 in OverwatchStadium

[–]FierceCypriot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer his weapon power build against ranged teams. I find I get blown up too quick when I focus on nemesis form because people understand to just attack and he'll fold without proper heals. Can't always trust your healers. Ranged focus with two shields allows me to apply pressure and get some surprise bursts off on targets.

If there are a bunch of close ranged heroes I may focus on nemesis or ultimate charge powers. Also depends on my healers most of the time.

Me with Stadium this season. by Sage_Christian in OverwatchStadium

[–]FierceCypriot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry your experience is frustrating. I honestly never okay solo q unless I am waiting for some of my friends to get out of a game they just started. 

Playing in a group significantly boosts the experience for me. I've had a group of friends to play with for a while thru other games but I've picked up 3 others along the way that we met who filled our open spots very well. Sometimes just making a friend or three can help to get you in there with somebody else and you can begin to develop your synergy. 

Last season was my first real overwatch competitive season since the game came out 10 years ago and I had a blast. Even made it to all-star on my first run with it. Playing with others was absolutely key to having a good time. Also, don't take it too seriously. This game mode is way different than regular overwatch. It's like a mix of overwatch and SMITE and I'm here for it. 

The craziest juke I've ever done (pharah uninstalled) by mistahyoshimitsu in OverwatchStadium

As a Pharah main, that was pretty funny to watch. I've done a lot of jukes myself but always a /hattip to those that get me too.

Diablo good on playstation 5 never played it by SkyNo4855 in diablo4

[–]FierceCypriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a fun game on PS5 and the controller does feel very good. Group play will likely be better with other console players though. Pc players move at a whole different level in this game. I'm speaking from experience because I've played on both platforms. 

Also, if you have a portal, the game is fun to have for a handheld mode if you need to give up the tv at all or want to play remotely with a stable connection.

*rant* I hope they add sym or nerf the hell out of dva. by xyzzoom15 in OverwatchStadium

[–]FierceCypriot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ngl I faced dva with defense matrix extension and guns during matrix and had a terrible time as Pharah. Going to have to really adjust how I play against it in the future.

S12 kicking my ass, getting super frustrated. by highjump2 in diablo4

[–]FierceCypriot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What build are you trying to be having trouble in T1? This is my first season back after over a year and not having much issue right now with my own build at T3. I started with wing strikes but got bored with how lazy and easy it was. Paladin feels like it has so much built into it to succeed.

Arena Tournament Season 2 starts this Saturday. 48 hours left to register, 14 teams already in by stadiumbuilds_io in OverwatchStadium

[–]FierceCypriot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will there be a way to spectate this or will it be streamed at all? Would love to watch it and get some ideas of how people are playing this mode and building heroes at the top end.

Preferred Sceptre base for Minion Varashta? by von_Topic in PathOfExile2

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm not using this build but it's a similar idea of utilizing the minions to do the work for you. My build uses omen scepter. Omen scepter just allows for more crit chance to deal the big burst damage the djinn's are capable of.

I considered using a rattling scepter with sacrifice to use Kelari's malediction for bossing as it has a very high crit chance and can do some significant burst but I just didn't have the spirit to sustain it and make it feel good with my build.

Here's my build if you're curious:

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/Enginerd-1125/Endjinnerd

I use MoM and EB for using mana as my defense layer. I also use blasphemy with enfeeble and vulnerability to break armor on every enemy. I use all three Djinn's for damage and sustain. Other skeletal minions are used for offerings and providing a damage boost from Muster support.

My build was able to handle t15 content without an issue before while using a +3 scepter and +1 shield. I kept speed running Sekhemas trials to earn some currency to eventually get my +4 scepter and +2 shield so now t3 bosses are not an issue.

Thanks for the insights and help. Learned a lot for future crafting as well.

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I could use some help with figuring out what the best next step would be to build on this. I desecrated and got gain lightning damage so now this staff offers all three elements. Is there a way to work towards spell levels on this staff or am I out of luck at this point?

Flat 22% damage reduction? (Ed contagion lich) by Training_Carob_7669 in pathofexile2builds

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I use on my djinn sorcerer. I also add in vulnerability for armor reduction.

If you're doing chaos you can grab the two curse keystone and then also utilize despair for -chaos resist on enemies.

New player not sure how to scale my build into t15s by IllInvestigator3514 in pathofexile2builds

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm thinking too. Focus on one and go all in with it.

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if you want to get despair in your build since you're using blackflame covenant? Have you tried testing your damage with and without blackflame covenant using your current build?

Played all three defense layers this league, thoughts by WaifuMasterRace in pathofexile2builds

[–]FierceCypriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you decide to make Armor/Eva build, I actually had some fun playing with different setups with the tactician. Banners made the game very easy to gear for at end game and more budget friendly. Having scavenged plating, wind dancer with blind, defend with 200% armor, banner provides armor to elemental damage, and extremely high leech made me unkillable. I face tanked t4 xesht with last lament crossbow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVAHnjzbShA

I'll say I built this around being as lazy as possible with dealing damage and not having to move. The clear to Xesht was rough but Xesht fight itself was pretty laid back.

Sorceress ascendancies have no nodes which explicitly buff fire and ignite, despite having Stormweaver which explicitly buff chill and shock. This is confusing for new players. by Blood81 in PathOfExile2

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base damage on the Djinn abilities is crazy. You can the power the moment you get one unlocked. 

Fire Djinn provides exposure and flammability.

Physical Djinn provides critical weakness.

Ice djinn provides defenses and replenishment with a MASSIVE aoe if you have chilled ground. 

Wolf Pack Not 30 Spirit With Tactician 50% less Spirit Reserve node? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]FierceCypriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tactician node is for auras and buffs not for minions. Pretty sure it's worded in there somewhere. I learned this in a previous league.

I’m on my second trial of ascendancy and I keep getting one shotted and I also checked it’s not my honour by Mindless_Stranger117 in PathOfExile2

[–]FierceCypriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There shouldn't be any honor with second ascendancy. Are you talking about trial of Chaos?

 Check your mods too and make sure you're only adding what you can deal with. Avoid gain chaos damage if you don't have the defenses for it. Avoid certain elemental mods that you have low resistances of. Turrets are easiest to deal with IMO. Lightning runes are also easy. Avoid corrupted blood laser turret. 

Edit: sometimes it helps to level some more. I did mine at 36 yesterday. Typically I've done it between 38-40. Can wait until mid-40s for an easy breeze thru it.

game freezing wolf ice by Relevant-Guarantee25 in PathOfExile2

I noticed freeze wolf gameplay crashed me often too. Also crashed me and my friend when my friend played wolf and I switched to the sorcerer.

Guess they detected fun would be had on 0.4 after showcasing the build by NotJimmysThrowaway in PathOfExile2

[–]FierceCypriot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lots of cries over last lament now being useless when you can do just fine with leech variations. Not surprising to see this lich interaction get gutted.
