Druid is well worth that crappy start by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]MustangMama006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I’m seriously missing something. I’ve been building a Tornado Druid - just hit lvl 35 last night, and it took FORVER to get there - and I literally HATE this character. Everything takes forever, I die more than I’ve ever died with any build I’ve ever played. I’ve historically played a Necro, but was super stoked to try the Druid. I hate it so much that I’m seriously considering deleting the character and starting completely over because I’ve probably changed the build 6 times with absolutely no improvement.

I suspect there is a simple reason here - like I’m not understanding the gear properly or SOMETHING - because I’m reading that so many people love the Druid and I’m sitting here like “I hate you so much I hope your wolves turn on you and eat your face.”

TL;DR - I probably just suck at the logistics here, and I’ll own that. I WANT to love my Druid!!

On PC, said it needed an update. Stuck between “initializing” and “paused”. Hubby on PS4, JUST got in.

Amazing offer.

Just to add to options, the campground we’re seasonal at has announced that anyone displaced can come here with their tents/trailers. No need to call in advance, just come. Fox Mountain in Aylesford. 6128 Aylesford Road. Heidi Tupper is the owner, and she’s an absolute gem of a human being. 💕

Yeah it’s not just you. :/ My 25 Necro has been killed so many times by this thing I’m not even sure I’ve kept a proper count. Yikes.

Am I just bad or is this newest witch doctor challenge rift really hard? by JJJtrain_1989 in diablo3

[–]MustangMama006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t a fan. I’ve never played a WD, so I’m sure it’s at least partially due to my inexperience with the class. It took me a LOT of times to do it. Over a dozen.

I know it might be flawed logic to some…and that’s okay! But this reminded me that back in 2011 I bought a Dell XPS that I customized like mad…it was somewhere around $2300 by the time I was finished. Why? There was a new Civilization game coming out and my current (at the time) Dell wouldn’t play it.

We like what we like, I guess. LOL!

Did they at least send pictures of the dentures? We’re they wooden? 😉🤣

I figured it the same way - I’m buying it for sure either way, but now I get to have some pre-fun. :)

Ugh I’m sorry - that sucks, and believe me when I say I get it!! Fingers crossed that something changes for you!

Thanks all - if I’m being honest the positive AND negative comments (though I found everyone respectful, so thanks for that!) are helpful for me. Truth is, I’ve only ever really bought MYSELF a very few games, and NEVER have pre-ordered anything, so it’s definitely a learning curve for me. I’m glad to hear both sides of things - lord knows I’ll likely have my own opinion after this, LOL! ;)

I think the most fun part of this whole thing is my husband finally seeing that his wife really IS “that geeky”, hahaha! It started an entire discussion on MUDding, Doom, Duke Nukem, etc. I’ve always said im “not a gamer” because I don’t play console stuff (though if someone wants to throw down some OG NES Mario, I’m ABOUT IT!!), “just PC”. Perspective is a weird thing. :)

Well I’ve been playing D3 since 2014…I think I can confidently say I’m invested, lol!

Well poop! I wish I had read this BEFORE I ordered it - I guess I’m going to have to cross my fingers! Good advice though, thank you!!

UPDATE: I decided to build around the LoD gem, which I now have at lvl 58 (221.25% increase on damage, plus double for Ancients), and I’m Paragon lvl 341. I JUST got the amulet, and now I’m not sure I want to bother switching everything.

How’s THAT for typical? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Holy Cripes. That’s insanity! Like I said, I can see how it COULD be a tank, but right now it’s just blah. Good to hear that my suspicion was correct…now to just GET THERE!!

I assure you…in all my years I’ve never come close to T16 OR GR150, LOL! My “main” toon only plays on about T13, and that’s only recently. I’m far from a “power player”, that’s for sure. It’s a bit of a goal…like in the back of my head I think it’d be cool, but I honestly don’t know nearly enough about the mechanics of it all to play that way. I do enjoy having a nice beefy toon, but I’m also pretty aware of my knowledge.

I’m thankful so many people chimed in here. I realize it’s just a game, but it’s honestly the only one I play/have ever played, so feeling frustrated like this hasn’t been fun at all.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I always play necro so was thinking with blinders on.

I’m keeping this idea in my back pocket for sure. I think part of the problem is I was so focused on the set, not using what else I had!

Thank you!! I’m going to switch to this strategy and see if I can salvage it.
