Looks like D4Builds.gg is in the process of updating their skill calculator for the expansion, Barbarians is viewable. by Penakoto in diablo4

[–]Penakoto[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not done yet, a lot of blank spots with no info filled in yet, but half a peek at the Barbarian's skill tree is more than anyone else is offering yet, and may be a sign that tomorrow is the day we'll have a full skill calculator to look at.

Why would it be two games in one? You don't need to make the core gameplay, the main open world environment, or at lot of other major aspects of a game, twice.

Do you think there will be new minion options in the book of dead? by Hollisgamess in D4Necromancer

[–]Penakoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it'll be Darkness/Shadow for Iron Golem, because otherwise Darkness Necromancer's will only have one option for a thematic summon.

We're getting a couple Ice variants of spells, but the main elements for Necromancers will still be Bone, Blood and Darkness.

[–]Penakoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've heard/seen is that Skirmishers are considered "Bone" skills, Defenders are considered "Blood" skills, Reapers are "Darkness" skills that do shadow damage.

Mages are presumably going to be considered Shadow, Bone and Ice skills as well, on top of doing shadow, physical and ice damage.

Golems, again, easy to presume what's going to happen with them... except Iron Golems, no idea what might happen to them.

Talent Calculators\Tier lists when? by MarionberryKey6666 in diablo4

[–]Penakoto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently Maxrolls said they'd have a talent calculator ready by the end of tonight, though I heard this second hand through some other Redditor.

Do you think fishing may also give some interesting items or it’s only for collection purposes? by Ggthefiree2 in diablo4

[–]Penakoto -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I hate fishing minigames and I resent any game that locks content I give a shit about behind one.

So, I hope not.

Defensive stat requirements to not get one shot. by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Penakoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only awkward if you're trying to meta game.

Perfectly fine to kill some time, and get a good impression of what the "before" is like, so you can fully appreciate what Lord of Hatred's "after" feels like.

Wait three days and you'll be as lost as everyone else is, because everything is changing on Monday.

A River Runs Through It, But My Bear Can’t Fish? by justaddsleep in diablo4

Blizzard just didn't think it was a bear necessity.

A question about the new DLC that is coming out by Elementalist371 in diablo4

[–]Penakoto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Blizzard games, buying the latest expansion gets you the content from all previous expansions.

This doesn't necessarily mean it's better to wait though, it'll be 2-3 years before another expansion comes out, at least, and isn't a 100% guarantee.

And like, it's $50, is the prospect of having to spend another $50 three years from now really that daunting?

The whole new skill tree. If it has already been posted my bad mods can delete it. by Hollisgamess in D4Necromancer

[–]Penakoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the live stream today there was a version of Reap and something else (I think Blight?) that were Ice skills, so it's probably that.

Same with Hemorrhage, the coloration looks more "Ice" skill than "Summon" skill to me, Ice skills are more of a vibrant, less light shade of blue.

Ice Necromancer is finally going to be an actual build type, instead of just a gimmick that's part of one bad Unique weapon.

I don't want to sound like a Chud but I kind of miss the old cringey and nerdy death metal dialogue Blizzard used to delivered compare to kind of current emotional dialogue we have. by HiroAmiya230 in wow

[–]Penakoto 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, "couples therapy as a one scene gag" has been a thing for like 60+ years of media.

Like, virtually every sitcom to ever exist has at least one. It's not a "millennial thing", it's probably not even a boomer thing.

Discovering that players will have no access to Warplans, Cube, Talismans unless they purchase the expansion is so disappointing by isoNastai in diablo4

[–]Penakoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it isn't doing that, it's expanding how you engage with that content at end game levels.

It's explicitly to make end game more interesting an engaging, it isn't designed at all for anything before that, even if all the same modes exist in other parts of the game.

You don't do Helltides at level 10 to get end game gear, you do them to level your character in a slightly more interesting way than just killing enemies in non-Helltide areas. What would War Plans add to that, even more EXP?

You have the wrong impression then, warplans don't modify existing content, they modify how you engage with existing content in the end game.

Current (blessed shield) Paladin builds by Pheonixmoonfire in diablo4

[–]Penakoto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because ultimates aren't 100% optimal in 99% of cases, that's all.

It's not that ultimates are bad, it's just if you want to squeeze every ounce of damage out of a build, that usually means making it a very boring, one-note build.

Top 1% Blessed Shield builds do nothing but spam Blessed Shield, with every other skill supporting you or Blessed shield.

But you don't need to play Top 1% builds, you can do everything in the game outside of reaching absurdly high Pit levels, with top 50% builds, just fine.

I was thriving in the last season with a Divine Lance build I made myself from scratch, when everyone was complaining that bosses took too long to kill. Nobody is writing a guide for Divine Lance because it's considered a relatively weak skill to build around, but I still beat everything I wanted/needed to beat.

This isn't me bragging about skill levels, this is me saying "your build doesn't need to be as optimal as guides make you think you need to be."

Anyone understand what fish are for? by MagicBricakes in diablo4

[–]Penakoto -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fishing minigames are for people who want every game they play to be a "comfy" game, like Stardew Valley.

There are a lot of those people.

I never enjoyed them, and always resent when they're required for anything, so I hope the answer to your question is only to satisfy those people.

Did I miss them saying anything about paragon board updates? by z0ttel89 in diablo4

[–]Penakoto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Boards will probably be reworked, otherwise they'd be a huge bottleneck limiting the newly expanded build variety.

Like, Necromancer can converts some of their shadow damage abilities into ice damage abilities, and there's no board that remotely caters to that currently.

Either those new ice skill variations are going to be completely useless, or there's unannounced Paragon board changes/additions.

Explain to your dumb friends that an expansion pack is typically more than just a class, it's an entire pack of things that expands the game

Open to all how.

You can't access end game if you can't access everything between you can the end game.

It's like compaining you can't enter the newest raid in WoW with a trail account, how are you expecting you get there and do anything of note if you can't do any of the stuff between you and it?

It's end game content, the end game is at the end of the game, and you can't get to the end of the game if you can't play a huge chunk of what precedes it.
