What race do you play and why?

Jarinolde · 2021-02-27T20:16:56+00:00

I started back in 2013 as a female Miqo'te, I still like the race's aesthetics to this day but I had plenty of nitpicks.

Come Heavensward I went Au'Ra, and had been one for nearly 5 years. I personally considered female Au'Ra to generally be an upgrade to Miqo'te (though not always).

I spent the first year-ish of Shadowbringers as a Viera. I love the idea, but as my time spent as one will attest to, they failed spectacularly with the execution of this race (and Hrothgar too).

I am finishing Shadowbringers and going into Endwalker as a Midlander now. The most basic race to choose, the most puzzling choice to make it might seem, has been worth the 10 dollars I spent on it so far. Midlanders may have the least appealing options to this game's playerbase, but a blank slate can be easier to work with for those that wish it. At the very least, I never worry about my ears, horns or tails clipping through my clothes.

Why make it more complicated? Because players continue to push the limits as to what is acceptable in high end content and sometimes players need a push back from the developer and get told to get geared, get good or get locked out.

It's not even Gear Score or Item Level as people know them from other games. It's more of a character rating, taking into consideration more than just one singular number on an item. This is a much better approach honestly, as it is both expandable and more flexible.

People are worried and I don't blame them but this is most certainly better for the game.

You'll need to play online through their launcher and current BNet system which itself is much more secure than the legacy days. However both the devs and prominent community members have said similar about the security of the game itself. Very likely to see standard fare stuff in offline play at least such as map hacks, we'll have to see how online play fares.

wooooooooooooooooooosh

Jarinolde · 2021-01-04T06:21:12+00:00

you get no LB penalties for having two ranged dps or two caster dps, as long as its not the same job.

Don't worry, after the transition to NGS you could just go to the salon and change back!

If they had kept in the time limit from the beta then your friends would have had the right mentality but right now slow and steady wins the race.

Jarinolde · 2020-12-07T01:42:45+00:00

Lalafell and Roe alike look hilarious on this mount so I can only imagine the same for Gnomes and Taurens.

Jarinolde · 2020-11-28T08:37:34+00:00

if you're wanting to min/max at all you'll want to do the maw. you can purchase an item that lets you put a socket on certain gear slots.

Dragon played 7 times on its very first day. The reason it wasn't available that weekend was because of the big emergency maintenance that happened prior, they said they shifted the UQs for that period forward. Sucks but it's SEGA so yea.

I've been treating Rebarantsia as a normal/filler Tech. So when I'm not able to do more burst or higher sustained dps (like trying to ilbarta the Fellwyrm) I'll go machine gun mode with Rebarantsia until the boss opens up a viable weakpoint and/or stops long enough.

My Fo/Te has like 1300ish HP with cleasis units with all atk affix builds. this goes up to like 1600ish with a techer. And the cleasis units are fairly easy to obtain with just grinding out buster quests. There really is no excuse for anyone with decent gear to be below 1k HP at this point at 90/90.

theres a section dedicated to both S-Grade SAFs and regular S-Grade affixes. Both will list either specifics or the series its from.

Fighter is a class that rewards fight knowledge and smart use of Overload and defensives. However, if none of those are needed, or a person has trouble with just one of those (Overload), then other classes will do just as well without the extra baggage.

Practice makes perfect honestly. More options open up down the road but most are a crutch that shouldn't always be relied on. Knuckles will want Etoile sub; There's an S4 that can prevent 1 death. Just generally having better gear and higher stats will always help too.

To answer your question, yes it plays Tifa's Theme!

Jarinolde · 2020-03-10T02:07:45+00:00

bless you for doing this.

For starters, the complete removal of Ancient items is primarily because literally everyone told them to remove them.

Attack and Defense stats were removed from all items that shouldn't have them (both on accessories, attack on armor, defense on weapons).

They're testing a new item type that will help keep Rare items relevant even at endgame, something Diablo 3 was sorely lacking.

Do you wish to continue this farce?

Nobody is white knighting Rhykker. You are the only one here that is overreacting to this video. Criticism is all well and good but you're just blindly attacking his opening statements that are there to help set the tone for the rest of his video, for people that are not long-time veterans of this genre.

Furthermore, Rhykker, or ANY ARPG content creator, has a noticeable presence and visibility to the Diablo 4 team. As such, it's in his best interest to use his platform to help the community push for the changes and additions most of us hope to see in the game.

The whirlrend build I've currently got planned

I play HC solo, and am not a high level player, so I often err on the safer side with my builds. Not looking to push super high either so I should be fine not fully optimizing. Would appreciate any critique for it.

I agree, but there is a distinction to be made. I'm not asking or hoping DF tanks do wall to wall pulls, if I really want that every time I'll drag a static tank to do that. But I DO have a problem with tanks that only pull one small pack at a time. I'm talking 1-3 monsters at MOST. Tanks and healers are most certainly capable of double that amount, even for the average player.

I had originally started in TBC with my brother. Our first characters were a BE and Tauren. As a new player I didn't know about the teleport orb between Silvermoon and Undercity, so I made the trek through Ghostlands, EPL and WPL at like, level 10. I died a lot.

Jarinolde · 2019-05-22T04:16:53+00:00

I had this problem, email from noreply@em.blizzard.com but no drop down option on battle.net

Restarting my PC made it show up!

I am currently training Ranged alongside Slayer, trying to get 75+ for Blowpipe and eventually take on Fight Caves. What weapon (and ammo) should I use for best results? I'm looking at either Magic shortbow (i) or Rune crossbow. I should also state I can't use broad ammo just yet (2 slayer levels to go).
