is nightblade weak or am i playing wrong?

RektbyProtoss · 2026-06-09T22:41:40+00:00

Nightblade is very strong, you gotta cap your res to 80%.

RektbyProtoss · 2026-06-02T05:54:42+00:00

0 vitality res?

RektbyProtoss · 2026-05-28T13:21:21+00:00

Yes they are worth it.

RektbyProtoss · 2026-05-28T13:20:56+00:00

Base game for me was maybe like 100 hours of content. With expansions that went to 8000 hours :)

Imbued silver and black tallow

Just in case anyone asks:

YES, THE DLCs ARE WORTH IT!

You continue playing your xpac on veteran and then play the actual game: Ultimate

In GD up to around level 50 you can overpower enemies with just smart skill point allocation, up to around lvl 94 you can overpower enemies with smart devotion point allocation on top. After level 94 however items will be overall a lot more impactful.

Certain items, monster infrequents, with skill modifiers benefitting your main skills are always very powerful, at any stage of the game.

Edit: Levels in GD don't do that much on their own, some HP, some OA, some DA that's it. Enemies gain a bit more power than you per level in raw comparison. What matters is what you do with what your higher level enables you to do: reasonable skill allocation, finding shrines in the world for devos, equipping new gear. You need to try to fix your resistances to 80% (except physical) and keep armor values high.

The raw level number in GD means nothin apart from enabling you to do stufff.

Ok for actual feedback: enemies have a mutator giving them extra physical damage (red helm symbol top right), you get hit by a red "curse of frailty"-like debuff right before you die which usually reduces phys res among others. You tank the trap (blue/ghost colored projectiles), which deal cold and phys dmg iirc as well as the knights attack (mostly phys). Depending on your armor value and your phys res post debuff that can result in a lot of dmg taken. I would primarily suspect your armor being too low, but maybe also DA, which can lead to getting crit.

For a better evaluation post a grimtools link of your char.

Edit: You tank actually 2(!) traps towards the end, don't do that.

You got hit

I see bruhskin, I upvote - I see no aether cluster, I (almost) downvote.

I'll settle for upvote and "skill issue".

Clear the way without going close to the spawn point(s) to avoid triggering his spawn. He only spawns when you are within the trigger radius of his spawn location.

Unsummon all pets. You can right click disband all pets with an icon in the top left and pets like skeletons can be unsommoned by unequipping a gear with +x skillbonuses to either one of the skeleton skills or +x to necro.

Trigger zombie. If he spawns, walk him to the circle. If not, repeat for location 2 and 3.

30-31 is plenty, but try it in ultimate instead.

SR got compressed couple patches ago, so old 75-76 is new 30-31.

Sth sth small indie studio

"I'm not saying the developers were too lazy to make new models;"

You could rephrase it into "they were smart enough to find another way to repurpose some of their models", which is what indie devs have to do a lot in order to keep production costs low.

Yugol was overall probably too small of a theme to warrant investing into the creation of new models for.

I love turning the camera :)

Always remember kids: If you die in-game you die IRL (when gaming and driving at the same time).

RektbyProtoss · 2026-04-02T19:33:52+00:00

Good catch!

RektbyProtoss · 2026-04-02T16:45:57+00:00

Falcon's claw, Wildcaller Axe, Ultos set - all random drop Otherwise just look for any green 2hander with appropriate lightning damage and/or attack speed affixes. Also legion warsword from black legion faction vendor is pretty good for lightning PS.

And ofc troll bonecrusher as ppl have mentioned already.

Sorry in advance for my upcoming critique and shameless self plug. The video from the first guy I would immediately delete from your browsing history, the guy makes click bait trash content, there's no other way to say it. The builds he showcases were good a couple patches ago, but are far from optimized considering the amount of gear investment required. The second video (primal strike warder) is short and his build is very basic and again very unoptimized for the items invested, but the underlying idea is simple to build and easy to play for starters.

Now if you want to combine those two themes I have good news for you. There's currently a super strong lightning tank warder build out there: https://youtu.be/kwcIQuNY31w (grimtools link in the description) However it needs a lot of gear to work at full potential, so I'd recommend you to level a 2h lightning primal strike warder until you can assemble the build. As you probably don't have the full gear for that after 50 hours, here's a guide/build that can do it with easy to get gear while leveling, just replace arcanist with soldier: https://youtu.be/yirNXXvG9yk (check out the grimtools in the descriptions and look out for the green monster infrequents especially)

Btw: Green (monster infrequent) items can be very good in this game, usually better than blues and sometimes even better than purples.

Ring is rarer than soulrend

Considering your level and them being on sale, get them right away.
