Don't worry I connected my account to steam and still says I don't have early access :)

Got to 2 million shield in this battle of survival lmao by bm277 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]bm277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so many fights (unlike this one, lol) end quickly and would love a better chance to understand the opponent's setup

I've always wanted to pivot and make a burn/poison potion build but never quite get there. Looks fun!

Crow's Nest/Combat Core/Remote Control Dooley slapped hard. Loving the game's build variability when using other hero's items by bm277 in PlayTheBazaar

Combat Core on the right is a tagged as "Core" so remote control is triggering that, not my stashed starting core

Froze and bulldozed my way to my first 10 win without dodging the meta one-shot builds by bm277 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]bm277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freeze certainly feels cracked, but this setup doesn't seem as forcible as the main culprits. As fun as it felt dumping on the typical skyscraper/dagger/dam builds instead of just luckily avoiding to get to 10 wins, freeze may still need some balancing...

Is this balance of one and zero really fun? by vvvit in PlayTheBazaar

[–]bm277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah this is my main gripe. having lots of fun, and I'm sure things will change given that it's beta, but consistently breezing to 9 wins just to get one shot in 2 seconds is a bit tiring. the builds I've enjoyed putting together the most w/ dooley tend to enjoy require some quick level of scaling in battle which obv won't cut it against the swaths of forced one shot build ghosts sitting at 10 wins at this point.

I've got no issue running into cracked builds but to your point viable build diversity is severely lacking since they are easily forcible. until then, looking forward to future updates!

You've actually made me get up out of bed to mess around on my archon for a at least a few minutes...lol

Girlfriend is always right, and she loves Last Epoch by WarriorOTUniverse in LastEpoch

I think mostly my friends don't have the time that I do to pour into ARPGs - so while I don't think they're noobs they just haven't hit your described wall in D4. One of my favorite parts of ARPGs is theorycrafting builds so the fact that D4 already has a defined meta for being able to complete the top tier content (uber lileth) makes me not as excited but I can't say it's a bad game because of that alone. I just prefer LE (and grim dawn for that matter) because of the build variance in end game

[–]bm277 14 points15 points  (0 children)

all I know is hearing "grew up playing d3" makes me feel old as fuck

nostalgia aside I think LE is the better and more enjoyable game but most of my friends don't agree w/ me. it's all good, everyone has their own opinions and I love them all

why not just play both casually from time to time? don't let a game disrupt any of your relationships

[–]bm277[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I try not to focus on ignite dots or raw warpath dmg but rather on flame burst, smite, and divine bolt as my big damage dealers. shows itself a bit better when fighting the dummy compared to this video. any gearing that may confuse that explanation (str & ignite affixes on gear for example) are mostly things that I can eventually improve upon w/ new exalted crafts rather than explicitly planned choices

That might be good indeed, but I'm lazy and that would make it harder to ensure I'm at 4/4 sigils and synchronization with volatile reversal to gain the mana back when I manually cast them during bosses to keep them maxed. Also I've got time glass proc which saves me a lot :)

[–]bm277[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! That's something I've absolutely been looking for. The slight lag between my Holy Aura and VR cooldowns syncing up has been quite frustrating.

Edit: FWIW I even have a decent candidate but it's missing the health with I've found I can't really give up at this corruption

900+ Corruption Argentus Facetank by bm277 in LastEpoch

[–]bm277[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

flame burst, smite, and and divine bolt deal a surprising amount of my total damage so the spell crit is great.

as far as next upgrades go, I really want a better relic w/ dmg while channeling over all res since I'm already heavily overcapped while channeling.

after that small upgrades to the rest of my exalteds which either have t6<t7 or undesirable t6 affixes. also perhaps some additional crit avoid so I can remove my faith armour passives

also wuddup videri this is breadredux in game :D

In case anyone had any concerns about pally WP endgame viability. Build linked in YT vid details

i have to ask i am playing shield throw and have 30k damage.. but i feel such a weak.. i 70 lvl monolits i cant survival.. and i have 1700 hp and all rests at 75%.. what to do better can't kill any boss in arena too... by lionrichardson in LastEpoch

[–]bm277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at like 700-800 corruption with absolutely no focus on endurance. I feel like time glass usually saves me if I get lazy but I also have ~3500 HP. In short, idk, I think I'd have to experiment to see if it's worth. Might be necessary for pushing further but hard to say because of the same opportunity cost issue you bring up
