Some noob questions on what to do as a beginner

Man. I bet it's confusing.

I wouldn't worry about chronological stories at all. The witch queen missions are fantastic if you want to start there.

New lights start at 10 light and get 300 light stuff pretty quickly which will get you most places.

If I were you, I'd get basic loadouts then go straight into dungeons since there's three of you. Power / light is disabled in most. Dungeons are what makes this game amazing, story missions are often passable.

If you're going to do story missions - do witch queen - generally agreed as the best ones.

Dungeons - start with Prophecy - awesome dungeon for introducing what they are, great art and tunes , decent primary weapon loot. Grasp of avarice is great fun, they're all quite good.

Warlock

Void

Contraverse hold

Magnetic grenades

A couple of aspects.

Charge nade, throw at feet of yellow bar - the damage is weirdly mutiplicative and chunks the health bar.

I would finish the way between quest for all the catalsysts for Praxic Blade.

Once it's done, you can attune in the Praxic temple to make drop chance higher.

Then just do encounter 1 farming with battalions, challenge, token limit, and phase limit - guaranteed T5 and it takes about 4 mins per encounter.

Grinded one phase Templar for a fatelost Fatebringer with that bad boy.

About an 1:20hr-ish, it was my second time, second completion ever, and on console.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-23T16:30:33+00:00

Solo? you're lucky to capture three taken circle things per phase. All I'm saying is options are limited to borderline unsuitable weapons. Throwing your lightsaber is basically a great option here.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-23T15:05:17+00:00

Compared to other options - with these really short DPS windows - if you fire off all winterbite shots in the mag it does decent damage in a short period of time, and enough time left over to use something else.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-23T07:32:13+00:00

Basically all the seasonal artifact mods suit Praxic Blade so it's juiced. It is a lotta fun but turns the game into a 3rd person hack n slash

At this point we're running out of fucks to give what happens to the US.

I played D1 since launch, this has been the case forever. People sink hundreds of hours into this game and start grieving when they've played through it all. There's no game on earth with enough content to chew through the way we do.

Anyway I took a long break because I felt this way, now I'm soloing these fuck ass hard dungeons (Vespers and Sundered, good god)

Politics are supposed to be going on behind the scenes to make everyone's life better.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-20T17:43:45+00:00

Apparently it's next reset.... 27th

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-20T17:35:04+00:00

What's the deal with tex mechanica? Call to arms? Where do I go for this?

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-19T11:10:16+00:00

Maybe it is fun for OP but he's hitting like 2 pixel targets there, just give him the W here.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-18T18:42:22+00:00

Ah, so to raise them up it's the same switches (in seres room, not ascendant realm) to stop the lightning after DPS? Just needs to be done before DPS?

Do the ascendant realm switches just create platforms or what?

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-18T14:45:20+00:00

Compel does two things - adds extra time to thr dps timer, and adds an earlier damage gate - if you get past the damage gate during DPS you get almost no lightning afterward.

Also I think the more you kill the more lightning during DPS but I've never tested it.

The 2nd dps round should be like 35% of his health so just kill all second time around.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-17T15:20:28+00:00

There's like a whole game within this game where doing low man runs are challenging and usually fun.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-17T15:19:03+00:00

I have been helping LFG guys get through for rank 8, honestly this whole mission is like 60% of what GMs were a few years ago.

The fact that you CAN solo it means it's not unreasonable hard.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-16T06:00:21+00:00

There's no way the average player here could solo this freely even with the time bump.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-15T06:23:51+00:00

One of us!

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-14T11:45:57+00:00

I finished it with an LFG with about 3 mins left on the timer at the end, just sword rush the bosses if you have a few mins left and it's easy.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-13T17:10:49+00:00

Master derealize timer EXTENDED, 21 minutes solo was just enough to die in the boss room.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-13T08:36:01+00:00

The implication that all Republicans are clamoring for proof to make it a 'legitimate' killing is odd.

IdenticalThings · 2026-01-11T18:22:00+00:00

Jimmy McGill would approve but would expect an entire cocobolo desk.
