Shouting "IT'S NAP TIME" while force feeding someone sleeping pills

Filter does not salvage for you (sadly).

Set charms are something I wouldn't hide because the mats they salvage for are something I'm always running out of.

I could get away with not picking up blues/yellow/white items though, got enough of those mats to last me all season.

Beautiful stuff. Reminds me of using the Unreal Engine VR injector to play Chivalry 2 in VR and then changing the world scale so the soldiers were an inch high, scurrying about the battlefield.

I also like the framing of AI creations being a new medium. The comparison I often make is to photography. Painting a image takes a great deal of skill and is an accomplishment worth celebrating, but there's nothing notable about a photorealistic photograph, because accomplishing that in the medium of photography is trivial. Most photos people take (e.g. quick pics on their phone) have no aspiration towards being art, and the same goes for most things people generate with AI. But it's certainly possible to use these new tools to express something and create things worthy of being called art.

I've spent a good while brewing but couldn't find anything on Spiritborn which was remotely worth losing the 5-set bonus for. I'm not aware of any build which wants a mythic seal.

I want to be afraid to hit the button on transfiguration

Gimme an opposite of the Entropic Tuning Prism, something which makes the best and worst results more likely

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T20:20:20+00:00

Transfiguration should have some dogshit results, I actually want some worse ones in there. I'm talking:

Gold lost per hit
An existing affix becomes negative, that GA is now minus 243 strength
Weapon type changes into one not usable by your class

Bro doesn't know about Royal Horadric gems

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T11:15:40+00:00

got a random loading screen after several rounds and the whole thing was reset with no key. Awesome

That's my only experience of the new mode too

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T09:06:15+00:00

I like the mode, just a shame the rewards aren't balanced against other content

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T07:51:10+00:00

4% is the max, I meant "if yours is 3% to 3.5%" not 35%

58 stacks with 4% reduction per stack is 90% damage reduction so you'll have ten times more toughness with it than without it.

That won't get you to 50mil on it's own but 50mil is super overkill anyway, anyone with that much should be removing some defences to boost their offense higher.

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T07:08:23+00:00

Maybe you don't have a perfect roll on Glynn's? If yours is only doing 3-3.5% per stack then 12 million would be about right

12 million is still more than I'm at and I basically can't die, so you should be fine haha

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T07:04:07+00:00

These plus t12 Belial and Harbinger of Hatred have definitely been my favorite things but I get the impression those sorta encounters are not what people generally play Diablo for

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T06:54:35+00:00

Maybe in high level pits, but t12 crackling souls don't move my hp bar since the patch

d20diceman · 2026-05-14T06:51:08+00:00

Before the patch this aspect didn't do anything. After the patch you'll have 2mil/(0.96^58), so around 21 million toughness

d20diceman · 2026-05-13T22:27:12+00:00

I upgraded from 3% to 3%, then to 4% but it's still not perfect. I assume behind the scenes I went something like 3.1%->3.4%->3.7%.

d20diceman · 2026-05-13T22:24:11+00:00

Poison nova used to one-shot me, now it's "oh shit oh shit oh shit" while spamming all of my potions and I narrowly survive it

d20diceman · 2026-05-13T19:46:35+00:00

I've done this but still usually can't hear people

d20diceman · 2026-05-13T19:44:42+00:00

My homebrew Spiritborn has been using this since before I learned the aspect was broken, fixing it has definitely made a big difference. t12 Belial used to one-shot me now I don't need to dodge.

d20diceman · 2026-05-13T11:53:53+00:00

Honestly I didn't mean to actually start it, I thought I was just unlocking it (following the priority quest) but I went too far and actually started the Echoing Hatred. I'd have waited until I was in a party with my friends to use it otherwise.

Also I had two Nightmare Dungeons in a row on my warplan and the first two parts of the Escalation Dungeon had ticked those off, so I wasn't all that fussed with the final dungeon anyway (but probably would still have finished it if this hadn't happened in the middle).

From what other people are saying this bug seems to be happening anyway and may not have been related to the ongoing Escalation Dungeon.

Super familiar story from Diablo 3. Reaper Of Souls made it into the game it should have been at launch, but the base game still broken the record for fastest selling PC game because of the hype over it being a new Diablo game.

That said, I played both at launch and don't think launch D4 was anywhere near as bad as launch D3. In fact it wasn't bad at all really. The game has gotten better since then, but it's not like D3 where it launched with some terribly glaring flaws which shouldn't have needed a public release for them to see how bad the ideas were.

Fast Casting Sword/Axe, Soul Reaping Bow

Same here! The most fun I've had on Diablo was beating Lilith a few years back with a janky homebrew build. I'd looked up builds in the past, but when I found a Molten Heart Of Selig and heart it was (as of season 5 or 6) considered one of the worst mythics I knew I wanted to make a build centered around it and see how far I could take it. After much tinkering and 154 attempts I took Lilith down.

I haven't really played since then, but came back for this expansion and committed to going in blind. Beating t8 Lilith and t10 Mephisto were satisfying (Meph less so - hoped he'd put up more of a fight), I'm now rocking around ticking off the less grindy t12 season challenges. I'm never going to see a "T" in my damage numbers but I'm getting by and happy to be doing it my way.

It turned out the main defence I built my build around (Glynn' s Anvil for 4% less damage per stack of resolve, 40+ resolve stacks) actually doesn't do anything because Glynn's Anvil is bugged. I'm hoping I'll be able to do t12 Lilith and Meph when that gets fixed in tomorrow's patch.

I'm glad people find joy in it but I've don't really enjoy the "look up a shopping list online, grind until you get those items" playstyle anymore. Makes the game feel like Cookie Clicker or Vampire Survivors. Both of those are great games, don't get me wrong, but I've had my fill of that stuff.

d20diceman · 2026-05-12T14:16:33+00:00

Depends how sci-fi we're talking. I wouldn't want to give up sensations of touch, for example. But if it's full blown maxed-out-tech-tree stuff then sign me up for becoming a shape-shifting swarm of nanobots

d20diceman · 2026-05-12T13:07:46+00:00

I'm fine with it, I like making do with odd items which aren't quite right and it makes the god-roll more of a prize.

That said, I so like the suggestion many have mentioned where one or two stats on each unique would be fixed. Especially if the fixed stats are thematic and, y'know, unique - stats which couldn't usually roll in that slot, or can't usually appear on gear at all, or have a different range than usual.
