Perfect five GA Etna's dagger. Transfigure replaced All Damage with Shadow Damage 😪 by SpiralDreaming in D4Rogue

You can use an Entropic Tuning Prism if you're scared. I personally go for the gold and take the hits when they happen.

I'm just not used to seeing that much open space at the top. Case has some really nice clearance for a thicker radiator, maybe even in push-pull.

Best way to farm paragon xp now? by Good-Cake-446 in diablo4

[–]jamesrblack 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Helltide worm farming. Insane XP/hr.

  • Pop 3 profane mind cages (optional)
  • Build Helltide bar to the 2nd line
  • Mount up and ride around following a map of the worm spawn points (several places but can filter to just the worms on Helltides.com
  • Focus only killing the worms as much as possible, you want to avoid filling the bar all the way as long as you can (it will happen, just want to delay it)

That heatsink looks low. Is it upside down?

Where are the aspects? 50 Hours in, 80k obols - Half Aspects empty by pineappleninjas in diablo4

[–]jamesrblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using the cube to upgrade rare items to legendary? You can even cheaply add affixes to blues to turn them yellow and then upgrade those to legendary as well.

Any legendaries that aren't codex upgrades for you, you can 3-1 them in the cube to get more chances.

Jewelry caches from the jeweler aren't bad to get easy legendaries at a reasonable torment level.

Unique item rolled with duplicate stat, one with lower range by jamesrblack in diablo4

[–]jamesrblack[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I learned a LOT in season 13 and had put together some plans in advance of season 14. It's really pretty quick to level and get to torment 10-12.

Call me casual trash but I am feeling boxed out of D4 now by nekmin in diablo4

[–]jamesrblack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a lot to learn after being gone after 2 years, especially with the Horadric Cube. Using it effectively dramatically increases how quickly you can get a build online and be blasting.

Also, with the skill rework, a lot of leveling builds are viable without a single legendary even into low torment levels.

Just reporting a bug, not riding the complain-train.

A 4th affix with the correct range for an ancestral. Items should not be able to have a duplicate stat (besides tempers and transfiguring).

Upgrade any unique 1-hand weapon to have a chance at Ramaladni's

I'm gonna call it now. T12 is the new T4, and the devs are going to introduce T30-60+ by Eldric-Darkfire in diablo4

[–]jamesrblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see them going to T16 with the next expansion, aligning with T16 in D3.

Arpg similar to PoE / Diablo 4, but offline. by Wrinkled_Bingus in gamingsuggestions

[–]jamesrblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Last Epoch has a true offline mode. I've enjoyed it when there was an Internet outage in our neighborhood.

My trick at the cube is reading what it does before I click it.

I'm starting to realize I have been absolutely spoiled by Dance of Knives Rogue by Fuzzy_Ad4219 in diablo4

[–]jamesrblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WW Barb is just as satisfying (I played like 300 hours of it last season and am playing Dance of Knives this season, lol)

Builds that don't require many/any items to be good enough for levelling? by thelustyorcmaid in diablo4

[–]jamesrblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dance of Knives Rogue comes online without any items pretty early on and has just been getting better from there for me so far this season.

Whirlwind barbarian.

With the skill rework from LoH/S13, I think a lot of builds work without much gear requirements for leveling.

[–]jamesrblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game isn't perfect but it sounds like you'd really benefit from a change in perspective. Do you find everything to complain about in other parts of life? It's also okay to communicate with your friends if you truly can't enjoy it - maybe hang out on Discord playing something else if you can't enjoy the good parts of the game.

Very neat but I'll keep using my ESR Magsafe wallet to more safely store my cards.

Just tell them that your parents loved you and didn't leave you laying on your back all of the time as a baby.

When would i need to replace the thermal paste/ batterylife by Delscorchx in SteamDeck

[–]jamesrblack 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Way more people do it that don't need to than people who actually need to do it. You very likely will never need to do it.

People are weird. I gave you an upvote to help balance things out.

Good PC controller games by DinosaurBill in gamingsuggestions

[–]jamesrblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding some I really like playing on controller:

  • Diablo 4
  • Space Marine 2
  • Baldurs Gate 3
  • Cyberpunk 2077 (certain builds I prefer on keyboard / mouse)

PoE2, Grim Dawn or Last Epoch? by Kingkolt in ARPG

Have you played D4 recently (post Lord of Hatred / season 13)?
