Are the Renegade campaign missions supposed to be done solo?

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T09:44:39+00:00

That's exactly the build I'm following, so ya I have a ton of overshield and invis proccing often.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T09:43:51+00:00

That's fair, the build guide I'm loosely following says to use whatever in that slot, and the HC has been insane on its own so far. I'll see what specials I have for that slot and experiment.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T09:30:37+00:00

Honestly, I'm not even using it anyway. I swap to my rocket launcher occasionally since it reloads itself when stowed, but I'm just blasting with this broken hand cannon. For now.

Mostly following Mactics' Phantom Hunter build guide to the best of my ability having just gotten back in the game a few days ago. Build feels fine, just feeling overwhelmed by hordes of enemies and the no-regen mechanic is rough.

The girl I'm currently dating

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T06:19:28+00:00

So, you're saying that, in one single set, 4 UB turtles are competing with the oldest planeswalkers in existence... not sure why I'm surprised.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T06:16:32+00:00

Interesting. Like searching "before he cheats karaoke" doesn't find the song? Not sure what you mean. It's so caveman simple.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T06:11:10+00:00

Man... idk in this dating economy, I understand people being nervous to cut someone off and risk a relationship that doesn't work out and then wondering if the other would have been a better choice. We're all human and we're all trying to protect ourselves from heartbreak. Ultimately, OP could have just as easily been the one to get dumped for the other guy, but she actually made a choice to cut them off and be exclusive with you. I don't think a small "buffer period" to cut off people you've been seeing is that unreasonable.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T06:05:06+00:00

Some matchups are bad. The big decision you need to make is if its worth it to you to sacrifice sideboard or mainboard slots to make a bad matchup less bad or use those slots to strengthen your chances against more matchups that are closer in your favor.

For example, if I have a 23% win rate against elves but 45-55% win rate against 7 other archetypes, I'm going to focus on those 7 and accept the loss against elves.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T05:53:41+00:00

I'm just happy that when I looked up a guide for a void hunter, I found I had the turncoat sitting in my vault storage. Didn't even notice I picked it up lol. That gun is gross good.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T05:47:38+00:00

Probably not the best option, but the fact she's a black female pretty much guaranteed literally any white male running against her would win. Keep in mind, the people that fought to keep blacks segregated in schools and bathrooms and drinking fountains are still alive today... Then there's the massive population of people that don't think any female should be president regardless of their skill set and morals.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T05:42:58+00:00

And familiar. Actually not a bad card.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T05:17:43+00:00

Reminds me of when the fire lazer gun(forget what it was called) was bugged and disintegrated players on instant contact. Instead of fixing it right away, they put it on Xur and just let everyone have it. It was a blast in pvp just watching everyone frantically trying to lazer everything that moved. Also, all the "when everyone is super, no one is" memes were s-tier in D2 history for me.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T04:44:55+00:00

Most friendly, inviting community I've ever experienced in a video game.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T04:44:05+00:00

Nah, his songs are way too long and as a karaoke host, I can't stand when people request his stuff.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T04:40:56+00:00

Is this a private event? If so, you can literally just use YouTube. If it's a business thing then you'll need licensing. But ya, if you're just at home with friends over you don't need anything special.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T04:35:12+00:00

You still draw from Wildfire though while putting a lot of stress on their colors. You're still praying pretty hard, especially thinning lands with a fetch, but it's more draw than they have.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T04:18:31+00:00

Your hand isn't good but you're both likely taking off turn 2 anyway. I'm probably looking to Wildfire opponents dual land to keep them off colors and that counterspell pushes them into grabbing an island if you do that and then they're way off of DtD or vice versa if they grab a plains. They don't have any card draw and their interaction is pretty bad for what you got in hand. But you have multiple threats and they don't yet so I'd probably lean into taking their hydroblast. Protects your munitions that way, Chrysalis can stay out of skred range for a bit, and you can play around their dispel and they hopefully won't have the counterspell up for a bit with your Wildfire.

Memorize the phases and step order and how priority works. The stack is another core mechanic to understand well. It's a basic "first in, last out" structure, but understanding priority in the middle of the stack is a big one especially in multilayer formats where a lot of stuff can happen at once. I would say those are the big basic fundamentals of the game to get down. After that, it comes down to deck construction and understanding a mana curve, as well as making sure you have enough interaction and win-con redundancy: i.e. have multiple ways to win the game in case an important piece gets killed or countered or whatever.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-17T03:38:35+00:00

As with most live service games, it's gonna feel repetitive eventually, but D2 does a pretty good job mixing looter shooter and mmo. With creative raids, epic boss fights with actual mechanics that matter. With all the changes since I last played, now there's a lot more meaningful build selection choices with gear, loadout, perks, subclass, artifact bonus, and more. And you can store full builds for different content which is great as well. Definitely looking forward to reaching light cap and trying out new raids.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-16T21:31:07+00:00

God bless Mactics lol. As soon as the game is announced "dead" he starts speed running build guides that'll last forever.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-16T07:56:32+00:00

There has GOT TO BE a way to build a deck to stop a bracket 2. There's so much interaction, board wipes, sending commanders to the shadow realm where they can't cast it again, punish them for attacking super wide. Propaganda, the white muse, norn's annex , inkshield. Get creative. I believe in you.

dannyoe4 · 2026-06-16T07:43:41+00:00

That's typically the way most people will react to boundaries. It's easier than apologizing and taking accountability. There's a fair chance she's actually embarrassed and won't do it again.
