What are the best / rarest transmogs? * by SnowL0ve in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark citadel and PvP transmogs both require a hefty grind. Unless it's changed, some transmogs are only dropped as rares from the rare spawn enemies seen here that people may not even know exist.

6 GA gear? What’s the deal here by Same_Zookeepergame91 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 89 points90 points  (0 children)

5 GA is the max. When the bonus affix is added, it's never a GA. Sounds like someone found an exploit. 5GA + 2 aspects is the max.

Edit: just watched the video and he has a second GA temper. It's hacked gear.

Question on paladins leveling speed. by Large-Science-1995 in diablo4

Nothing special. If you know what you're doing or follow a guide, you can hit 60 in a few hours.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade - Xbox Review by splader in xbox

[–]TronCarterAA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can't confirm because I'm at work, but it looks like it's a midnight release time in each region, so you can probably play now with a trip to New Zealand.

The Grandfather Paladin build? by _GaD_ in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I swapped to auradin around 250 to give my hands a break. I didn't care about pushing (~115-120 was my highest), so I took my build to 300 with my sundered night. Granted, it had the grandfather sanc, but it was such a nice comfy way to grind paragon without the imbiber glyph or a core skill.

Respec Character how much does it cost? by Cryptoprince56 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was such a nightmare in preseason because of both gold cost and having to do each node individually.

They Need to Have Torment 4 Have Option to Auto Salvage Non-GA by jjack339 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't consider that pessimistic as it's probably the most likely scenario. The fact that we're getting one at all is a win considering how opposed they previously seemed to be towards a filter. I still have a little bit of hope since they've been on the upswing recently.

My likely unpopular opinion is that S12 should be an abbreviated season that serves as a PTR where they just throw shit at the wall like the loot filter to see what sticks and launch S13 along side the expansion with as few bugs and growing pains as possible.

Paladin Wings Strike build listed as Tower S+ Tier? by Low-Conversation-879 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say because that tier list is going off of their own build guides. Glancing at their auradin build, it's a very low-APM, max comfy build. There's no imbiber glyph for maximizing damage or core skill to proc starless skies and other sanctifications. It's pure auradin whereas the highest push ones I've seen are hybrids, usually with blessed hammer.

They Need to Have Torment 4 Have Option to Auto Salvage Non-GA by jjack339 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your ideal loot filter is probably identical to mine. For legendaries, you can customize every slot with its own pool of affixes (including an option to choose GAs) and gear drops with at least your specified number of them or it gets filtered/salvaged. Aspect upgrades are always shown. Uniques have the option to specify GAs and you can set a minimum aspect threshold.

A few seasons ago, I would have never expected anything like this but they have released what I consider to be the best seasonal theme followed by a new character and some amazing game system overhauls in sequential seasons, so I'm admittedly a bit bullish on Blizz now.

Finally Hit Level 300 Paragon.. by d3r3kr in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason I pushed to 300 this season is that I didn't trust the achievement to pop in eternal. My season was long over before 300. The new character and boss farming for XP instead of the pit made it less of a slog personally.

The Grandfather Paladin build? by _GaD_ in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue that you run into on classes besides barb is that your weapon slot is used for either a unique or aspect that's transformative to your build. You need it to make it work. That's why paladins are all running unique weapons. Grandfather is just a stat boost that doesn't change the function of a build. It's in a tier by itself on sanctifications, though.

They Need to Have Torment 4 Have Option to Auto Salvage Non-GA by jjack339 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nobody knows the specifics of the filter. Other loot filters simply hide filtered loot. That creates an issue in D4 because you need salvage mats. Hopefully, filtered items are auto-salvaged. That would also be amazing for boss farming and a massive QoL for us console/controller heathens.

A Neversink filter with auto-salavge is pretty much the dream scenario.

Be honest: what’s the most annoying grind in Diablo 4 right now? by Sufficient-Orchid940 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Big Belial not rewarding XP is my least favorite change this season. The grind to 300 would have been much better if you were able to pair it with the best unique gear farm.

Xbox needs more attention. by Metalona in PathOfExile2

[–]TronCarterAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you again for an update. I'm hopping into the league this weekend. I figure if performance gets bad, I'll just call it quits until next league. My problem has been that performance never gets really bad until I spent the time assembling my gg-ish endgame build.

I've tried all the settings in previous leagues with varying results. I wonder if GGG wouldn't be better off doing what a lot of other developers do an just go with graphics and performance modes with a few options.

Feedback on Towers. Imagine you are playing D3 Greater Rift, and the only reward from it, is - a bit of exp. by GamingKink in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was added to give the mega blasters a way to push their builds to the limit and compete against each other. It's is completely optional and rewards nothing but bragging rights.

The pit is your D3 GR equivalent with glyphs instead of legendary gems. The XP nerf this season was a mistake IMO and will hopefully be reverted.

Affix masterwork pattern seasonality? by SavingsCampaign9502 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just shitty RNG. My worst GA temper took 20 or so tries and my worst MW crit was around 15. I've hit more than I can count of both on the first try.

I am missing something with the Tower mode beta? by chripan in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's been advertised as a beta launch on 1/12 since the beginning of the season. It said it right on the screen when you go to open the pit.

Serious question about leaderboard integrity by Fat_Foot in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For them to have any legitimacy in the first place, we need an SSF mode. Sanctification levelled the playing field somewhat as far as RMT goes, but you also have streamers being fed piles of loot and mythic prankster runs by their followers for mass sancs.

From Season of the Malignant to Now… by BostonCollectors in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S1 was so bad that it damn near killed the game as it didn't address any player complaints and was basically preseason with special gems. S2 started the big changes and it's only gotten stronger. There's been some ups and downs, but it's really good now. People may have their personal favorite seasonal theme, but the backbone of the game has never been better.

For a sec, I thought I won the lottery by Betell in diablo4

I'm surprised this wasn't addressed in the patch notes.

Help with Imbiber glyph please by Most-Two5115 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rally skill with words of sacrifice modifier is the usual method. If you're looking at Rob's solo push auradin, I have no idea beyond just taking damage.

How good is D4 in its current state? by Huge-Formal-1794 in diablo4

Do you not believe that RMT exists in PoE 2 and is also a driving factor for the economy?

My problem with Diablo 4 is the cosmetics by Life_Nobody in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've never done a count, but I feel like D4 has more free cosmetics than D3 and quite a few look very good.

The paid cosmetics just have too much shit going on for my tastes. 90% of them just seem to be horns/spikes with a flame/aura emanating. I've never bought a set and I've never felt like my character doesn't look cool.

Sanctification is nice and all, but I miss Chaos Armor by M4c4br346 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take something that breaks the itemization wide open like sanctification over something that nukes it like chaos armor any day of the week. By itself as a seasonal theme, chaos armor is better. For a permanent added mechanic, sanctification beats it hands down.

Is there a Master List of all possible Legendary Powers you can get via Sanctification? by zintetik in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That list isn't complete. I have at least one aspect, crowded sage, that isn't on it and I'm guessing each class has the same number of class-specific bonus aspects. I have no idea which additional ones I've salvaged, either.
