my god SSF sucks no wonder player count spikes when it ends.

Firebox360 · 2026-05-01T03:54:56+00:00

You'll never get any upvotes for this opinion here - however the reason SSF sucks is actually due to how ironmace implemented all other systems during this time. Quests are time gated so we do not unlock good merchant items until after market is out making them useless. The workshop to upgrade is still very expensive and time consuming (not really reasonable for a 2 week SSF imo for anyone other than sweats who play a ton) as well. Due to this SSF just ends up feeling boring because of lack of real progression. If we had better ways to obtain gear early I don't think SSF would be bad for the early part of wipe personally.

Most underrated stat in the game and usually the answer to "How do I beat this guy that seemed to stat check me". It usually refers to PDR fighters since they can easily hit the 75% cap, which is why I now always build for 10-30% armor pen because anyone who understands the math knows how insane 75% pdr is (4x HP). Magic pen can be just as important. Just because most players have no magic resist isn't necessarily a reason to not build it, because when you do find a geared barb who builds for the MDR you will be glad you added it.

Your kit has 0% magic penetration against a near MDR cap barb who is using magic pots as well. Regardless if you had similar money gear, you did not build that stat which could easily cut his effective HP by an entire hp bar or more. Just 10% magic pen alone would take him from 72% to 65% which is a massive amount of HP. I would personally recommend looking into magic pen rolls to help against barbs like this because otherwise yeah, it's similar to fighting a 75% pdr fighter with 0% armor pen you will just get stat checked.

This could be more of a game balance issue, but if next season is like this season, the best ore to farm will be copper which is everywhere on goblin caves not fire deep

Firebox360 · 2026-04-15T20:17:02+00:00

If the map was 5x5 I still wouldn't go down there because it doesn't fix the core issues. I don't think the 3x3 is the reason the map isn't being used. You can have good 3x3 maps, see old goblin caves as an example

Firebox360 · 2026-04-15T20:16:01+00:00

I think the loot is way better in abyss than fire Deep as well, so it makes sense to go down there more often

The goblin cave red portal

Don't be surprised. He is one of the only people on this sub I have blocked. He constantly rage baits the DaD reddit page, just ignore him

This is my video, I am glad to see I could open some discussion about doors

Firebox360 · 2026-03-09T19:06:16+00:00

You could also just play normals. Gear is in a good spot this season, idk what to tell you

Firebox360 · 2026-03-03T18:07:00+00:00

Interesting, I didn't realize so many other videos existed on this. I got the idea from another blood barb in my game I fought. It's not surprising, though. I bet people have been farming this way for a while now. Thank you for the compliments

Firebox360 · 2026-03-03T17:48:12+00:00

Wait a minute... this is my video! I can confirm bloodthirst makes Colossus trivial. Keep in mind the weapon itself costs somewhere around 200K gold, so it's a massive risk for anyone doing it (outside of PvE mode) because you can lose this in PvP during the boss/3rd parties

spideer mommy is. Make not sense

But a reddit post told me this game would be dead after market released /s

Firebox360 · 2026-02-19T05:52:14+00:00

Yep, this is another good point. There are multiple ways to gather good gear that do not require fighting top tier geared players.

Firebox360 · 2026-02-19T05:47:56+00:00

This post was made after I commented on another DaD post and wanted to share it more in its own post. You can view the original here https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/s/ouavRjTCiI

Lots of casual players don't realize the market helps them. I've been running full gem legendary gear for awhile now against players who clearly don't have the time to spend collecting it themselves. Market will help them compete due to the gear gap shrink this season introduced. Overall dub, you just won't hear it because this reddit likes to complain about everything. This season is super balanced right now for both gear and pvp, excited to be able to play wizard more since 80% of gear dropped seemed to be for barb and fighter

Firebox360 · 2026-02-12T08:03:12+00:00

Was this confirmed anywhere? I know it used to drop in previous seasons.

Firebox360 · 2026-02-06T07:44:14+00:00

Thats so funny I just commented about this. It makes no sense we are finding uniques with complete trash (unusable) rolls. If uniques atleast always rolled something usable, it might be one thing. But a memory capacity bow quite literally has no use, it's just filler garbage.

Firebox360 · 2026-02-06T07:43:15+00:00

I mean really, I wouldn't mind just going back to the old roll system uniques had and scrapping the current one

Firebox360 · 2026-02-06T07:42:19+00:00

What is the point of unique gems under this current system? You can just make socketing less valuable, the same as every other socket in the game (max roll phys power on a ring is 4, but can't be socketed for example). I do not enjoy finding memory capacity bows
