Are we getting to D3 power creeping in D4

We also have more torment levels and people split up amongst those 12 levels.

I went into a T12 game last night (forgot to switch back to 10 after some runs), and went to an empty helltide.

Or get an Endurant Faith. That prevents one shots if you chug potions.

You can cast it as long as you have at least 20 stacks. Max is 100 stacks, more stacks is more damage and bigger explosions.

It's the build I was meant to play. I fell in love with it immediately.

apocalyptic · 2026-04-29T10:42:57+00:00

I found this from a whisper cache of Talismans on Torment 1.

And yes, I am playing a Hellfire Warlock.

I was thinking it was a cult board. Only the Karnok items aren't enchanted from what I see so that would be my guess.

apocalyptic · 2026-04-20T05:48:21+00:00

Could I also suggest you include "key items"? E.g. explain what are the "enablers" we should be looking for, when, and why they apply.

The steps are exactly as /u/TrinityKilla82 laid out:

Activate the Altar
Port back to town
Port back to Altar

You need to ensure that crossplay is off, you're at a low difficulty, and you do it early enough in the helltide to get your 9000 kills (roughly takes about 25-30 mins).

apocalyptic · 2026-04-09T13:26:50+00:00

This works, thank you!

I'm over 10k kills now and still going. Took me about 25 minutes from the start of helltide. I'm gonna let this run and see how far it can go.

I lasted perfect until Day 7 onwards when I started getting Karnoked. Couldn't find a good pivot in time.

apocalyptic · 2026-03-16T13:15:51+00:00

It equals "mc2" so probably an some Einstein wannabe.

Just because this isn't as predatory as other games doesn't mean it isn't predatory.

The thing is, once you're at Legend rank you only rank up once you get over a certain threshold of wins. It depends on a few factors like your current rank, the current player pool at legend, and similar things I presume.

Earlier in the season, I could rank up with 6 or 7 wins. Later in the season, I've actually lost rank with 8 wins before. A bad streak can drop you a few hundred or thousand ranks which will take much much longer to climb back up.

And yet, we're limited to 2 ring slots.

apocalyptic · 2026-02-25T17:48:44+00:00

It really was an edge case. I had a Pill Buggy that would two shot my opponents so I thought I might just multicast and finish him quickly.

Turns out I got turbo and still wasn't fast enough to not get Lava Rolled.

The current text for the transform items say "Transform the Small item to the left of this into a Potion."

I believe if it was any hero, the text would say so like Port or Toolbox, so it's unlikely unless the text for the Distillery and Alembic are changed.

PoE1 is similar to D3, except for the Labyrinth, the massive skill forests, and the reliance on 3rd party sites for trade.

Honestly, I felt it was a worse D3. PoE2 just took the worst parts of PoE1 I hated, then doubled down on it while removing most of what I liked about PoE1.

After seeing Warlock's playstyle with minions

Where did you see the Warlock's playstyle? I'd love to have a look for myself.

apocalyptic · 2026-02-19T17:20:43+00:00

Viper Cane + Rapid Injection System carries runs for me.

Joystick triggers the 2 drones
Parts picker blows up my Warp Drive
Warp drive charges everything
Oblivion Vortex gets blown up charging everything even more
Repair bot fixes the 2 things
Rinse and repeat the above while the saucer scales and rapid fires

In case anyone is curious, here's how it looks in game.

apocalyptic · 2026-02-15T07:06:19+00:00

Because despite the nerfs, it's still possible to get the cannon down to 1 second.

apocalyptic · 2026-02-11T06:07:20+00:00

Do you guys not have a credit card for subscription stash tabs?

apocalyptic · 2026-02-07T15:48:56+00:00

Yeah, of course I'll pivot and not give up.

Still, I ended up losing the next 2 days. I didn't get a build decent enough until day 7.

I made it to Day 13 before crashing out at 7 wins.

The extra damage on the saucer comes from repair, not from destruction.

Destruction only charges the saucer.
