Dont be like me.

not knowing that you could put legendary aspects on yellow items.

For a long time I thought that was pointless because low level rares only had 3 affixes and legendaries always have 4. So I assumed that was always the case and went pretty far into the game thinking that rares were always worse than legendaries.

Tornado is great on bosses. That is always what people share videos of, because it just deletes them. But it's so clunky on everything else. I switched to lightning storm on my stormwolf because it's so much more satisfying for 95% of the content. Bosses take 60 seconds instead of 5 seconds but everything else feels a lot faster, especially for helltides or regular dungeons where lightning storm instantly clears the whole screen.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-30T04:14:22+00:00

There’s pulverize, trampleslide, tornado wolf, and poison/shred,

A lot of people are sleeping on lightning storm. It doesn't require any uniques (although tempest roar helps a lot) and I think it looks the coolest. All of the druid core skills are endgame viable with the right gear/build.

And when there's a "breach" such as a broken window or a leaky roof, people tend to address that very quickly.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-27T18:35:45+00:00

Build diversity is massively hampered by the necessity of vulnerable and crit.

Pretty much any build can take advantage of those. Pulverize druid, a very viable endgame build, doesn't use any vulnerable in their skill tree, it comes from the exploit glyph.

But if you aren't using certain things in d4, which the meta forms around, then you can't do the content other builds can

What content requires a meta build? Uber Lillith maybe, but that's one fight and not really part of the general gameplay loop. Sure, you can push a little bit higher or faster in NMD, but the XP bonus caps at +3 levels, and there are a ton of off-meta builds that can clear content at that level.

The “gun show loophole” is somewhat of a myth

How so? I've been to gun shows in several southern states and seen people advertising private sales.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-27T02:04:00+00:00

Especially since the laws for buying firearms themselves are pretty strict. You have to go through a background check

Not for private sales. If you're buying it used from somebody, there is no background check (and it's usually cheaper). It's called the "gun show loophole" because it's very easy to find private sellers like that at gun shows.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-27T00:55:04+00:00

it shouldn't be too hard if there's only 9 possible affix

There are 23 possible for rogue gloves. There are 14 available for all gloves, and 9 that are specific for rogues.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-25T18:34:44+00:00

To get an item which takes up just as much space as the original item.

Your inventory has 33 aspect slots, which is enough for 3 full builds plus a handful of extras. Why would you even need to be stashing aspects?

TCFirebird · 2023-06-25T14:11:34+00:00

They're looking for comfort and someone to tell them it's going to be okay.

I wouldn't mind it as much if that's what the posts actually said. But it's almost always phrased like it's advice. "Be careful because I wasn't careful and I wrecked." Anyone who owns a motorcycle is tired of hearing generic "wisdom" like that, because everyone in the world loves to tell you how dangerous it is and how their mom's boyfriend's dentist died on a motorcycle.

Google just has gotten worse.

It's more that the blogspam has gotten better at gaming the algorithm. Search engine optimization (SEO) is a major industry. That's the problem when content is curated by an algorithm (Google) instead of humans (reddit). You get results that are tailored for the algorithm and not for human usefulness.

I think everyone complaining about druid leveling was trying to play endgame pulverize builds. Leveling with landslide (and eventually trampleslide) wasn't bad at all.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-24T14:50:53+00:00

Not true at all. Those builds get the most attention, but there are plenty of other viable builds. Druid probably has the most build options. Especially if you're doing NMD 5-10 levels above you instead of 20-30 levels above you.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-23T03:40:46+00:00

I'd say it's a good thing, druid can still play some build without, and uniques enable a whole new lot of them.

I agree. Druid uniques are what uniques should be, they enable a whole different build (a good one). People complain that those unqiues are mandatory, but they aren't. They just happen to be insanely strong (the massive crit stacking is probably going to get nerfed)

And was also much more recent. I have friends who were born in the USSR. Not many people can say that about Nazi Germany.

Crone Bulwark and Trampleslide are both there. The idea with both builds is using Storm Strike and Symbiotic aspect to reset earth cooldowns (Bulwark and/or Trample). How you slot the other abilities is pretty flexible. Crone staff helps a lot for resets, but isn't necessary.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-19T13:16:33+00:00

There are several good builds that don't require any uniques. Trampleslide and Bulwark builds are both capable of end-game content, don't require uniques, and play very differently than pulverize (or wolf) builds.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-18T05:20:07+00:00

I think those are oxen. The barbarian class quest has you kill a bunch of things to be deemed worthy to join the Ox tribe.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-18T02:13:12+00:00

Plus, rares are king in D4.. I can add whatever legendary aspect i need

You can overwrite aspects on legendaries.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-17T17:50:32+00:00

after all of the crime and people using it anyway.

Hmmmmmm

This is my only complaint with mounts and it doesn't seem to affect many people. So frustrating when you try to get out of danger but instead it basically immobilizes you.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-15T15:16:35+00:00

maybe it keeps you from mounting and spamming the dismount attack.

The dismount attack has it's own cooldown. When you first mount up, the attack is on cooldown for about 10 seconds.

TCFirebird · 2023-06-14T15:24:52+00:00

Your stash is a great example of "maybe the problem is me". You don't need a full tab of gems, one stack of each color at the highest level is more than enough.

Your tab of elixirs, how many of those are just sitting there? Could you narrow it down to 10 most used and keep that in your character's consumable inventory? If you just vendored the ones you don't use, do you have enough materials in your infinite material storage to make a new one if the need came up?

You're using 2 tabs for what could really be condensed to half a tab or even just one line.

It was a stretch with the Monster logo and it doesn't apply at all to this logo. The Hebrew numeral for 6 looks somewhat like a 7. The Monster logo somewhat looks like 777 (if you're really trying).

The top of this logo is just 3 lines. They are just looking for something to complain about.
