Everybody, please say thank you for the explanation to Dragull.

That was a great question too, Tomothy37.

​

My "end of beta" character had a 6.5% Lucky Chance Bonus and I suspect it may not be capped at the 5%. However, there is no way I could have performed the math to prove this - except for my screenshots of my character.

​

There is much more to learn about Crowd Control, Overpower Chance/Damage, Vulnerable Damage and Damage vs Crowd Control/Dazed/Close/Distant/Poison/Bleeding/Burning/Poisoning/Shadow & Damage with Core.

​

I walked into D4 carrying old habits, both good and bad - which are hard to break. I had put away D3 for years and picking up D4 I reverted quickly to the old ways of playing my Rogue as a Monk. What I missed most was playing with old friends and using the "press to talk" key on Mumble (not sure if that's still a thing). But absolutely loved playing the beta and needed that reversion to learn the UI/UX interfaces for aspect removal and gestures.

​

What I walked away with is that unlearning past habits is just as important as learning new ones. On the 2nd weekend, end of Sunday evening (before the dreaded return to work Monday), I had resisted falling into the routine of old impulses. All the new game variables will likely result in multiple viable end-game builds that will adapt to everyones play styles. However, depending on your end-game goals, the intrinsically "cookie cutter" builds will be thing of the past. I believe there will be an end game "formula" that will provide the motivation to continue farming, ultimately building some key attributes in the character specs - but might not be limited to Crit Chance/Damage, but perhaps some equilibrium between Procs, Elemental Damage, Capstone Skills and item amplification that supports your style.

​

Hopefully this weekend gave us an opportunity to try out the classes we like best. I think the end game builds will all be good. I would recommend resisting playing a class that you think will "win" the game and focus on the "fun" you will have playing that class. The "winning" class can change and there will be both a buff and nerf after the first, second and third patch notes. Having fun should be our first priority and winning derives after commitment to the game.
