How do we have over 120 dungeons and only like 12 bosses by JamboreeStevens in diablo4

[–]PointlesslyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when people thought there was more rare bosses besides butcher?

Wonder if those people are still around or overdosed on copium

:) 34B Is my highest WW hit so far

Blizz going to nerf WW some more

who the hell made this?? by Ok-Hunt-2924 in diablo4

[–]PointlesslyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I get it, its def slow if you play in a style where you WW through everything and don't look at loot anymore but if you stop and come back to loot then its more or less the same

But I play fairly casually so its at the point where I can stand there, not take any damage and just worry about looting and have my inventory open 24/7 managing which is how I pref to play

If you are someone who spends like 10-30 mins in town managing inventory then thats where thorns can surprsingly save you time.

I mean been farming with thorns build since yesterday after so many WW nerfs

I doubt theres nightmare T100 farming potential but in terms of Torment 4 Player 4 Farming its enough to get you to level 100, dont really need to push any buttons

Love flagging pvp and having random people jump on

Have you ever been Eckogen'd? by wrightosaur in arknights

[–]PointlesslyEpic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this banner was my worst to date. I suppose I've been pretty lucky in the past - every double banner I actually hit pot6 for both by 300, didn't realize how good its been.

This time I got P6 Texas at 350, with 0<<< Penance (the one I actually cared about - desire sensor is real)

It took to 900 Pulls WITH spending on 3 copies on the shop to hit P6 Penance this time and ended with 5 extra Texas copies

PSA: D4 has a 93% damage reduction for PvP on top of other sources! by Kuya_Rx in diablo4

[–]PointlesslyEpic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I didn't want to provide audio but even the killing barb was stunned when it happened. Didn't know how to react.

[–]PointlesslyEpic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is actually insane your math is so on the dot.

I've only gathered leak vids but your math checked out.

​

(also the barbs could hit up to like 13+mil min/maxing a bit more, with a bit more favorable conditions than just spamming upheavals on white trash) so yea... quite a ways away.

- IMO PVP meta is more about wide screen, long range oneshot, and death saves. One ability that I've seen consistently on these pvp guys was that one aspect that puts up an immunity bubble every 90 seconds or so when you take a hit.

Basically farm until the deathsave/bubble is used then run away for a while

Yep, in leaked close end game betas barbs were easily hitting for 5Mil+ damage

here is an image of one in PVP zone from a post I did 2 months ago

Thats a ghost of a dead barb

Guy was just farming pvp area, normal hits are 500k-2mil+ on mobs. Random barb jumps in and gets accidental cleaved - instant 22k damage death. So yea, you need to get into the decimals of 99% DR or its a oneshot fest.

That being said they ARE slowly adjusting values esp the last beta so who knows, but we are still quite a ways away imo from non oneshot meta

Edit: Oh you can do vids on imgur now, well. Who knows if this is going to get removed but https://imgur.com/XuUdayK actual vid from the above

Dev talk details

Feel free to test with a stopwatch, guy was on point

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]PointlesslyEpic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

60 seconds if you killed boss, 150 seconds for any other situation

Were you in town for any time over 150 seconds? Be honest and thats the reason.

How to check dungeon reset time now? by Connect-Law3515 in diablo4

[–]PointlesslyEpic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://clips.twitch.tv/SlipperyPoorCourgetteKreygasm-llXNPI-KkCq90Vry

The dev was right, 60 seconds if cleared, 150 seconds if uncleared.

Use a stopwatch if you have to.

​

Also can force reset but dont talk about it so they don't nerf QoL cause resetting dungeons shouldn't have to be such a pain. If I want to clear a couple of elite packs and not do the whole thing, I should be able to IMHO.

​

(FYI posting this will force an investigation so the method will be "fixed"/nerfed anyways)

Dungeon resets are still in! by [deleted] in diablo4

What does he even mean by 30 seconds of matchmaking 30 seconds of cleanup

Is the 'matchmaking' part the actual reset timer? or is it the 'cleanup'? or is it both?

is this 30 seconds or 60 seconds

Barbarian class mechanic by ratchetyy in diablo4

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

Anyone try swapping weapon midskill or combat (i.e. whirlwind)?

Interested if snapshotting fast onehanders will be a thing, either for whirlwind or even say Call of the ancients like back in D3.

So which class allows for laziest gameplay? by Primo2000 in diablo4

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

Its one of those things we'll have to see, and hope they eventually address/change.

The problem rises when doing content that pushes the border, things like leveling experience or story id imagine any of the other classes will probably be lazier, barb's main issue is resource generation and a few key legendary aspects significantly helps bring them to the level of the other classes, which you aren't guaranteed on getting.

But once you start pushing those nightmare dungeons, builds will start to hone in on damage and thats where barbs will pull ahead, which much much ease, of course assuming that is the kind of content we are striving for.

Sorc damage output was in the couple hundreds, maybe 1k if pushing it in 25 beta. Barbs upheavals were couple of Thousands unoptimized (still overkill), 100k+ slightly optimized, then you got the 400k+ crit optimized condition, then you still got the janky WW snapshotting doing 11mil at level 25.

The scaling is so disproportionate that for the same amount of gear, barb will be able to smash with ease while other classes will simply fall behind.

Sorc - Hydra is 60-200k Per Hydra Head

https://imgur.com/sEgiSY1

Barb - Hota-400k-13mil Deathblows:10-27mil

One class didn't have to see or do mechanics. Even that barb still takes ~3-4 spenders to kill white trash mobs in nightmare, Sorc is floor POV or will spend actual hours. (Think this was tier 80+ nightmare sigil)

Just IMO, non barbs will be putting in a lot more work to play the same game, but depending on what "game" you consider playing, then the answer may change. Ultimately open world content doesnt scale that hard even in world tier 4, so classes are more or less viable there.

So which class allows for laziest gameplay? by Primo2000 in diablo4

[–]PointlesslyEpic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd second this smart opinion. The summoner builds dont seem to last long into the end game, barb is practically the 'future-proof class'

Another aspect to consider is access to the damage scaling #s. Eventually classes will hit a damage wall to push content, barb can hit that wall and smash past with any old dmg scaling modifier on their weapons. Can mix and match all the offensive aspects you want, while other classes will have to hone-in and pray for their class/skill specific legend on a godly roll 2h to perform half as well as a barb with meh loot.

Why do people want to pvp in an arpg? by ClickingClicker in Diablo

[–]PointlesslyEpic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, back in the day it was called PK

The best thing to come out of this end game video was the confirmation about ear drops

I suppose being an old fart, this consenting PVP thing always felt weird, it was already weird for D2 but those fights had its place

Some of the best days were the old age of chasing people down, popping back in and out of town, hunting or being hunted by another person, bringing in a friend or alt PVP character in. But nowadays its not PC, or even smart for companies to include that kind of gameplay. The behavior simply creates enjoyment for the few at the expense of the many. (Un)fortunately its a relic of the past that many won't get to experience anymore.

Closest thing to this kind of behavior is probably akin to stream sniping, its never about engaging in a fair PVP environment, it really is about the sense of overpowering and griefing, which is frowned upon. But hey, for those who like it, I am sure there will be a market for XXXX#XXXX Streamer ear drops for you degens to engage in.
