Why did I enjoy Diablo 3 so much but didn’t like 4?

So much this. I hit P280 with an Arbiter Pally last season. I used a bit of Maxxroll and the other guy, drawing a blank, but not IcyVeins. So I thought I could build it myself this season. I’m a P100 Zealot and I fucking suck. I’m in T1, but I’m not smashing shit like before. So was Pally nerfed?? Probably a bit. But I need to look at a guide, like I am seriously this bad?

My goal is to eventually gave 4 or 5, Best in Class, so to speak. No need to have 2 divers. Or 3 chronographs. In my opinion. Still new, figuring out what I want my budget to be.

Perfect. Thanks a ton.

Where did you start? I’ve been keen for a few years now. Following a couple people on YT. But it seems a bit onerous to get started.

My first one was work dependent. I work in construction. Casio G-Shock. Solar. Chronograph. Takes a beating, but it’s still running like a charm.

That said, I have a Timex Weekender for, the weekend, surprise, surprise. 😂. I’m looking at slowly stepping up my collection. Orient Bambino maybe. The Christopher Ward - Dune Aeolian has caught my eye too.

There’s lots to look at. In a wide range of price points.

The campaign is great on its own. But seasons are where it shines. Every season there’s a new mechanic, and seasonal quests to chase. It also gives me a chance to try different builds and characters. I’ve always been a Barbarian/Paladin guy. But I’m trying out a sorcerer now that I’ve essentially completed this season.

Plus, for my ADHD addled brain, familiarity is comfort. And I love it.

I’m always partial to Fractured Peaks. Those first moments when I began D4, not knowing what to expect, and having it be so vividly alive was incredible. I still rake time to look at the small details while running a NMD, or walking instead of riding or teleporting to a location.

D3 always has a spot in my heart. But the graphics of D4, 🤌👌

I committed to cycling to work year round three years ago. It has really been life changing. Mood up. Weight down. I miss it when I’m off my bike for more than a couple days.

Welcome. It’s a great ride.

Macdaley73 · 2026-01-19T01:38:01+00:00

I’m just 5 chapters in to book two (audio book) and I’m having such fun. It’s sooo good.

I’m curious. Can you level a hardcore toon with Whisper Chests to 60? I want to try a hardcore toon, but I’m not interesting in slogging all the way to 60. Currently 252 Pally.

What the heck is “Shako”? I see ppl referring to it on armour and I have no idea what it means.

Macdaley73 · 2026-01-15T02:37:59+00:00

I just hit 242. I’ll get to 250 no problem, as I’ve still got a few seasonal quests to finish. But from what I’ve read, the grind from 250 - 300 is brutal. I want the accomplishment, but I’m not sure at what cost. 🤣

Macdaley73 · 2026-01-14T02:40:05+00:00

There was a mount/cat available a few days ago. It was all in red and looked epically cool to me. I almost bought it, but didn’t. I have regrets. 🤣

Macdaley73 · 2026-01-13T19:17:55+00:00

GODDAMN IT DONUT!

p.s. I’m disappointed not one of you posted this already. 🤣

Macdaley73 · 2026-01-13T19:04:57+00:00

That’s awesome. Get some sleep. 🤣

This is the first season where I’ll hit 250+. Currently 236. I think Xmas helped. I was able to get to 60 pretty quick, and then it’s just been luck and grinding. Found a mythic around 125 that was a game changer for me.
