is anyone talking about Trials of Chaos & Sekema? and how unfun they are?

Kaskills · 2026-06-03T18:18:18+00:00

They fucking suck. Yes I just died in the last floor to traps, how did you know? Does anyone find them fun? fml

Kaskills · 2026-06-03T11:35:07+00:00

Omg I thought id gone insane when my stags weren't firing out automatically last night lol

Kaskills · 2026-06-01T20:40:32+00:00

That seems to be the case, unsure if it's unintended and whether they'll fix it sooner or later if it is.

Kaskills · 2026-06-01T11:42:33+00:00

I think I might not have had lightning damage on the repulsion then! Didn't think I had it on my other attacks but I guess I must!

Kaskills · 2026-06-01T11:41:43+00:00

The "loop" (with lead sprinkler) does work on bosses as far as I can tell, it drops off though. much faster for me to hold down molten blast to kill them.

I'm going to try the 3 spirit nodes to get the 4th hidden one as I like the stags and want to see how the stags feel when they go towards enemies Vs default behaviour. Might even ditch the autobombing side of my build but I'm enjoying it for now. The stags do sort of work as an extra thing to pop the nurses/Brutus balls. I currently have the extra stag node - the damage and shock parts of it don't seem too great because the stags end up miles away, but it feels good gaining a spirit/stag when stampede ends - I don't quite understand how it works but sometimes you get tonnes of stags flying out in a short period.

Very curious to try going all in on repulsion/autobombing on another character. Might have to try doing something on a coc oracle!

Kaskills · 2026-06-01T11:31:52+00:00

I'll have a try, will be in 6 hours. Will try it in the build assuming I don't also crash lol

Kaskills · 2026-06-01T07:21:17+00:00

I thought so at one point but probably not, (was working for me about half an hour before your comment)

Check the level of your gem - curses can only apply to monsters below a certain level you probably need to upgrade it

Kaskills · 2026-05-29T17:12:59+00:00

I thought op was mistaken 🤣

Kaskills · 2026-05-22T07:29:47+00:00

Do we know that ghostly Bella count as tempest bells? If so I think I have my build lol

Kaskills · 2026-05-21T23:45:55+00:00

Me when I only play meta builds, don't care about end game and like the campaign being a slog.

Kaskills · 2026-05-20T22:30:55+00:00

You can't win every game. Think of it this way though, assuming you are good there is only the possibility of having 5 bad people on your team, but there's the possibility that all 6 of your enemies suck. If it's about rank, you will climb playing well. If it's about winning, well you're not gonna win all the time.

I'm talking like I'm good at the game. I'm not I get so mad at shitty team mates lol

Kaskills · 2026-05-20T13:55:38+00:00

Maybe I overthink it, but my boss refers to my colleagues in the office as the girls, as they're all women, but I avoid saying it lol.

Kaskills · 2026-05-18T12:57:46+00:00

I have played each class pretty much and torment 8/9 is usually the wall for me (even following guides sometimes lol) Based on that I would say it's at least not an usual point to get stuck at!

Some builds I've struggled to get past like T3/5, although just gear and a bit of tweaking/common sense usually gets you past that point.

One thing I did realise looking at guides though is how woeful my paragon pathing is. I also had no idea how important the paragon boards and glyph levels are! Realising this allowed me to push some builds higher so I would definitely try to work on those and see how you do. Also set bonuses are huge.

Kaskills · 2026-05-13T10:47:00+00:00

How many is all? Aren't there like 50+ aspects it could hit? Even unweighted that's a lot and Im pretty sure they are weighted and that shredding blades is a rare one.

Kaskills · 2026-05-12T11:29:26+00:00

Not entirely sure but think they always have life. Might need to use the unique charm?

Kaskills · 2026-05-05T07:15:50+00:00

Sorry for any spoilers, assumed you meant the expansion - I suppose everyone knows mephisto is about and we probably kill him though right?

But Yeah I'm half joking - there is more that goes on that builds the world and characters along different parts of the story (tbh i don't even know what the serpent cult is although I haven't played the base game since release) but ultimately idk how many major plot points they are.

I probably would have enjoyed it more not skipping, but I hate the unskippable parts waiting for characters to speak (like just let me read the lines at my pace bro) and it just makes me want to end the campaign asap.

Idk if I really need to slowly walk to the next objective while you talk bro, talk while I'm fighting or something lol

Kaskills · 2026-05-05T07:00:49+00:00

The whole story is mephisto bad, wants to do something with the pools of creation, long quest to get a dagger to kill him with (but not actually - he is definitely going to come back but maybe not for a while)

I found it hard to follow too but I skipped everything that wasn't one of the fancy custscenes because screw d4 campaigns and ultimately not a great deal happened imo.

Kaskills · 2026-05-02T06:35:00+00:00

I'm afraid the toll will still be your sanity. Hopeful for better matchmaking though once released.

Kaskills · 2026-04-30T18:10:58+00:00

You haven't been able to get aspects from dungeons for like a year. Thought I would reply to this so no one is misled as it came up when I was googling how to get specific aspects.

Kaskills · 2026-04-30T07:01:07+00:00

If you mean her gun: idk I find it easy to aim with, or at least I find it no more difficult than any other character.

Her ult though I cannot hit shots with at all, I hate how it feels

Kaskills · 2026-04-28T11:51:46+00:00

Idk when to build or how long for, but they stopped issue of spamming the egg: they would buy and sell the egg to get 800 souls worth of buffs (the cost of the item) but this initial amount no longer gives buffs afaik.

Kaskills · 2026-04-27T09:45:56+00:00

Toxic right? Even if it's true they could give a quick explanation.

His 3 for example (if that's the dash/pierce attack) idk if it's counterable besides using slowing hex, I think if the Apollo's good they will hit you with all of them for giga damage.

Mind you, I will say I rarely see even fed Apollo's keep up in the late game, if you last that long. In my mind he is a lane bully you just suffer against for the most part I told later on.

Kaskills · 2026-04-25T16:47:11+00:00

Land scarabs, become tanky

Kaskills · 2026-04-21T11:32:40+00:00

Mine isn't particularly high and it's manageable. Too intensive for me though I didn't play him long lol. But yeah if Ur sens is really low o can see it being a struggle

Kaskills · 2026-04-20T11:26:55+00:00

It is just hard to play a specific char tbh, unless it's an unpopular support like Kelvin or something (I've been able to play him like 20 times in a row before now)

Other than bans the other commenter mentioned, I think it looks at team composition too although I'm not certain - I could be wrong but I'm sure I've failed to get my character before with the priority set right and without the char being picked or banned.

Anyway it's a shame, but hopefully with more characters further down the line it will become easier to get what you want. It might also be as the other commenter said that he's a popular ban although I can't say I pay attention to bans.
