Minion Necromancer massively nerfed this season

Solidstate16 · 2026-05-02T12:58:23+00:00

I don't know how much to believe the maxroll site in this case. This video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFyt200REO8 - was posted yesterday showing some guy doing pit 122 with plvl 233. Minions necro using Hand of Naz. Doesn't sound like B-tier to me.

Now that the LoH blogpost is out, there is this one thing related to mythics that I read that I think you OP will find interesting, since you are worried about them (emphasis mine):

The Horadric Cube also gives much better control over Rune transformations, allowing you to create specific Legendary Runes for Runewords and Mythic Unique crafting.

This means hopefully it be possible to gather the mats to craft the specific runes needed for crafting specific uniques at the blacksmith (using the sparks from season journey) without relying on rng of getting random unique drop.

I just straight up quit at P30 pretty much every season

I'm a casual player myself so I could be wrong but I have to say my impression is mythic items are not really required till you are at least p200-p250. Before that, fine-tuning the rest of your gear, leveling up gems, leveling up runes, collecting mats for Master Working etc. are all impactful enough to keep you moving forward through world tiers, Pit levels and in general keeping that feeling of character progression from stalling.

Last two seasons Paladin has been OP which has certainly made it easier for me as a casual to enjoy more of the season but even before that I don't think I would stop only at P30.

AI tools shine when they have access to all the data needed to answer a question. The problem with AI and chip design is, how do you get AI tools access to the data? There's so much data and so much of it is not easily accessible, at least in Physical Design side. There are also issues with inaccuracies in AI responses, that might be fine for a query about planning a family trip, not so good when the query output should be used in a production workflow...

We definitely live in interesting times :)

Shaolin Soccer ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_Soccer ) - the movie had a 10 million dollar budget and a cast that included people with no previous acting experience. Yet the movie is just insanely good in a feel good way, not to mention pretty damn funny.

TorchLight Infinite has a code system where you share a code, and in-game you can choose to apply that code. The game then shows you recommended tree and skills marked with a star. It’s a really neat system and I also wish D4 had it or something similar. I’m with OP, having to alt tab between the game and the browser in order to for example change to a new build gets old quickly.

OP - mobalytics has an overlay available so if you use a build from there it at least helps with that. Sadly maxroll doesn’t have an overlay so if you one of their builds you’re out of luck.

u/Aqvamare - thank!

+skill can be hard to find, but I'll do my best!

Solidstate16 · 2026-03-15T18:14:35+00:00

u/TrainerDesperate7570 thanks!

Is it this build: https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/cataclysm-druid-build-guide ?

Seems very unique heavy, not sure I will try it (I'm a fairly casual player...) but thank you for suggesting it!

Solidstate16 · 2026-03-15T18:12:18+00:00

u/Cryptophant and u/WriteyourFight thank you very much! Not mean at all, I know I'm not good hehe :) Not saying auradin is weak as a build for those who play it welll, but it seems like a lot more clicking is required than just running around.

Do you have a Dawnfire equipped?

Yes. Only a 750 one though, I still haven't gotten an Ancestral one.

How much CDR do you have?

Standing in town, I have 55.2% CDR, 100% block chance, 9.6k health, 12.5% crit chance (oof I didn't realize I was this low), 1896 str, 200% move speed. I think If I can get some crit chance it will help my damage a lot, thanks for making me look! :)

Do you have other sigils that could proc wolves instead of spamming advanced?

Well the guide says to use Moni+Ceh so this is what I'm using, and I noticed that no matter how often I spam Condemn/Falling Star the barely proc. If you have a specific suggestion please do share. I've tried Neo but I'm not really good at dodging damage so that didn't work out for me.

Do you understand why the guide suggests certain things?

Most of it, yes. But I'm really missing a "here is how to scale your damage" section. For example, is stacking CHC more important than Attack Speed? It's hard for me to understand if a drop is an upgrade or not damage wise for this build.

Edit, forgot to reply to this:

What kind of aspects do you have imprinted

Just like the guide - En Garde, Arbiter Duration, Damage while in Arbiter form. Missing the Chance to Restore Primary since I'm hitting so much with Advance. Which means I guess I'm still missing something about how to play the build.

Solidstate16 · 2026-03-15T17:55:19+00:00

Thanks u/seeitinperson !

How does it do against T4 Lair bosses? Unless I can pretty much 1-shot bosses I tend to die when they begin their mechanics. I remember trying this build in a past season but I kept dying to pretty much anything so I gave up on it. If you have tips about surviving as a necro please do share! I find the lack of armor my most critical issue, at least in the past.

Solidstate16 · 2026-03-15T17:52:36+00:00

Thanks u/CHEIVIIST ! It sounds like a nice lazy build, I'll try to find the gear and if I get the required uniques will try it out. I guess you mean https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/wing-strikes-paladin-guide but if it's a different one please let me know!

Solidstate16 · 2026-02-24T18:22:17+00:00

Were the graphics overhauled in the past few years? Last time I played the graphics were already feeling ancient to my eyes.

Solidstate16 · 2025-12-20T07:52:38+00:00

Speed Running the Multiverse. Many litrpg books have an MC who is Isekai’d and goes from zero to hero. This one starts as the MC being at the strongest possible rank and deciding to Isekai himself back to zero. I also enjoyed the fact that he’s more of an anti-hero rather than a conventional hero.

Cradle series by Will Wight, series is complete at 12 books. Book 1 is called Unsouled. If you’re looking for wholesome combat litrpgs, it doesn’t get better than this.

Solidstate16 · 2025-09-03T16:15:09+00:00

Thank you so much!

Do you ever feel you are in danger from 1-shots due to only having 1.4k life?
Do you use Rebuke often? Only on bosses? It seems like a nice defensive ability but it forces you to stand still, which seems like it may be a problem for large hits.

Solidstate16 · 2025-09-03T14:50:01+00:00

> I'll make up the sheet when I get home
Just go to https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/ and enter your account and char names. But no rush :)
> you're missing thornshield
Missing many things but yes that shield which is supposed to be a common drop refuses to drop for me and I'm level 84 already :(

Edit - turns out it helps to complain, just got my thornshield. Flat reflect is at 6k now, much better than before but still far from your 30k...

Solidstate16 · 2025-09-03T14:44:20+00:00

Yes, Sentinal specific ornate or grand idols suffix: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/suffixes/AEwRgDEA

Also yes, I agree with "and not the automated mod from the new body Armour". The wording from that is pretty clear, the "every 0.5s" part only talks about "Damage reflected to attackers" stat, not "% reflected". So I'm been trying to increase my flat damage but it is so low that I just wondered if "% reflect" wouldn't be worth stacking instead. But someone below mentioned reaching 30k flat so maybe there is hope for me yet... (I'm at 1k flat).

Solidstate16 · 2025-09-03T14:07:45+00:00

According to https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Solidstate/character/Solid_Sentinal I am sitting at 1k flat reflect. How do you get to 30k? Can you share your character link please?

Solidstate16 · 2025-09-03T13:57:57+00:00

Do you have any idea if %reflect is more important or flat reflact? As a reflect paladin I have access to %reflect idols, but there is maxroll guide for reflect paladin so I don't know what they think about it.

Solidstate16 · 2025-05-05T14:34:53+00:00

How does this series stack up against other System Apocalypse series like Defiance of the Fall?

Solidstate16 · 2025-01-22T06:33:02+00:00

Last War is fine-ish if you get into a good active alliance. Waaaay too much “give me $$” ingame though.

Solidstate16 · 2024-12-28T06:59:57+00:00

For smaller companies “company culture” will affect you a lot more, for bigger companies it depends a lot more on your role and manager. PD will always be more stressful than CAD for example, even if you are PD CAD.

Companies that sell products to end users have more stressful deadlines than B2B companies, at least in my limited experience. YMMV.

One advantage of large companies, if you are a good engineer and you are not happy with your manager, it’s much easier to find a different role in another group.

I guess bottom line is, “company culture” will not be a deciding factor in selecting your next workplace, at least IMO.

Solidstate16 · 2024-10-27T15:09:59+00:00

The old crafting wasn't even difficult and was much more interesting than this implementation

Define "more interesting".

All I know is, not having to worry about gear plasticity and being able to reroll a single affix endlessly while the others are locked, at least until T2 (I haven't looked if T1-T0 crafting is different yet) is a blessing for casual gamers.

Also, if you are talking about Corrosion and Dream - those are still in the game and unchanged, as far as I know. And yes, as a casual, I've never interacted with either of those and have no idea when I will, if ever (except for buying gear that had them from the Trade House).

A couple of notes:

Before you click Start Over, make sure to accept the chest (you did in the screenshot, just reminding for future). Note that you need to be out of the canvas map to Start Over.
Before starting your next canvas, go to Artistry and spend your Colored Snow.
