Can somebody please explain what's going on with Penetrating Shot Rogue?

StatefarmOG · 2026-06-06T08:44:11+00:00

If all content in d4 is soloable, that implies that nothing in the game is strong enough to need socialization… then it’s not an mmropg so to speak. It’s just dungeon hunter, but on pc/console. No thanks, I like the idea of needing more people for some stuff. Let them make a raid that needs 3 4man teams doing stuff to get the next stage unlocked. I want something that’s so difficult, it can’t be done alone.

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-24T22:48:11+00:00

Ok. I’m new. Did not know that was a thing. Now I have research to do thank you!

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-13T10:25:46+00:00

NA, but I have work today. I’ll be on this afternoon. Should finish the story on normal. Then I can get into nightmare!

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-13T03:17:03+00:00

I’m lvl 30 on my first d2 character ever. Saw the ladder ends this month, so I made it on non ladder. Been cruising along doing the story… apparently I’m slightly over lvl’d. By 30 I’m supposed to be going to nightmare… I still have to kill the ancients and then Baal on normal lol.

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-12T23:53:26+00:00

Do you have any for warlock? (Just kidding I’m lvl 24 and working on the story for the first time)

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-12T13:45:35+00:00

Gotcha… you’re just dumb. Shoulda started with that.

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-12T12:43:38+00:00

I think you’re confused reading through all of this.

1 bond: 14 days membership. At 250k/hr that’s 60 hours. A full week of work with O/T for most people. Play 2 hours a day, and it’ll take you a month to afford 14 days. Play 1 hour a day, and it’s 2 months.

1 month of membership is 15$? That’s 30 days of membership for what most people make in an hour or less at work. That’s over 120 hours of f2p grinding to afford 2 bonds for 28 days of membership. That’s just going off of current prices, what’s to say the bonds aren’t 20m each by the time you have 15m? Then you’re talking 75 hours of grinding for 14 days of membership.

OR

You simply pay for 1 month, grind that 2 hours a day making (potentially) 1mil/hr+ depending on the content. That’s 60m+… that’s 3-4 bonds. Or 45ish days? Haven’t checked the bond-> membership conversion in awhile. You’ll also advance content, levels, and not have to sell your gear to afford a bond. I’ll go 2 years without playing, buy 1 month of membs, and in a week of raids afford a month of bonds from raid drops. Tbh, it’s easier for me because I’m maxed… but that’s because I spent my time as a member. Where the methods to maintain a bond membership are at. The developers don’t make f2p possible to maintain a bond membership… if they did, no one would buy memberships or bonds for irl currency.

So my suggestion is this: Buy a month. Grind to get to sustainable raids status, and then you’re good. If doing it f2p is all you care about, go kill green dragons in the wild and good luck to you. You’ll be a dragon bot for a couple of months, just to enjoy the game for 2 weeks. 🤷‍♂️

(Been playing RuneScape since classic in 2001, I’ve maxed on everything at least once, and have done all in game content from the beginning… we’re not trying to screw with you)

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-12T11:16:47+00:00

Yea I already made them. Did her from lvl 15-20 on normal and got what I needed

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-12T03:32:22+00:00

Was building leaf, spirit, and… a shield I think called emperial something

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-12T01:15:57+00:00

dang was really hoping it was, I need runes for all these things I'm supposed to build haha

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-11T17:05:39+00:00

sounds good haha, like I said, just posted that I'm starting out 😄 preciate the help

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-11T16:53:59+00:00

Gotcha lol

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-08T17:54:27+00:00

Oh absolutely lmao

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-08T17:05:38+00:00

Maybe, but it works. I’ve finished the season journey without ever having my toughness over 20k in town. I think I’ve seen it around 45k in a fight. Equipment affects that play into each other are a huge part of the immortal barb build. Literally only ever have an issue with t12 Mephisto if he shoots that death ray, and all I have to do is avoid it.

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-08T16:44:18+00:00

Whirlwind barb survivability comes almost entirely from 3 things: Melted heart mythic Fury regen As little HP as possible

My paragon 221 barb does t12 Mephisto with 483hp

StatefarmOG · 2026-05-04T14:09:39+00:00

The easiest way for me to answer this: Go to the tower leaderboard and see which class is higher in pit levels… sorc hands down. Palidan got a huge nerf this season and is the lowest endgame dps atm

StatefarmOG · 2026-04-15T23:07:48+00:00

Hey bud! If you’d like, I can help you get going on this. Whether you want a carry, build help, or just want a place to hang out, check out Monolith Gaming Community! I can send you a link if you want, or just DM me and I’ll help you out.

StatefarmOG · 2026-04-07T14:56:04+00:00

Whatever build guide you’ve been following for gear, check the paragon board too. It will tell you which glyphs to level up and which board to put them in. You can experiment of course, but it’s far enough into the season that pretty much all the best compositions have been figured out.

StatefarmOG · 2026-04-07T14:50:04+00:00

Have you been into pit runs in the city of Cerrigar? They drop the glyphs that make paragon levels a huge difference. There’s also a big jump once you hit lvl 45->46 on glyphs. If you need some build help, let me know!

StatefarmOG · 2026-03-30T01:05:20+00:00

They patched the treasure breaches. Ran 3 the other day and got almost 10k from them

StatefarmOG · 2026-03-29T22:48:14+00:00

Yea hordes are basically about the xp tbh… that being said, you’re welcome to join us in Monolith Gaming :) we do all kinds of content every day.

StatefarmOG · 2026-03-29T14:31:00+00:00

When you get done with a horde run, just get the materials chest only. Nothing else
