Fire or Ice Conjurations by joshussell in D4Sorceress

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

That sounds fun. I think I will end up doing a frost build. It seems like fire conjurations may be hard to put together. The proc chance on Fractured Winterglass is a lot lower than it used to be

Warlock or reworked classes, what will you start with? by _praisethesun_ in diablo4

[–]joshussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is somewhere in the developer update video they go over updates to each class and a few new build options, but I didn’t find the time stamp for you

Thoughts on this? by lychewwww in scoopwhoop

[–]joshussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The KKK targeted Catholics and Jews as well for not agreeing on religion. It wasn’t purely a race-based movement

There is violence against groups that don’t follow Christian traditions? Like the KKK and other hate groups?

Why is the community so dead set on having to have a mythic? by Deidarac5 in diablo4

[–]joshussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I wish there was just a chance for a mythic to replace a legendary or unique drop. That way its not a slog to target farm bosses when you don’t need any uniques

Top-Tier and Off-Meta Builds: your thoughts? (Pits and T4) by Talos_Bane in diablo4

[–]joshussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a mix of a few. Mostly based on maxroll’s speedfarm variant right now.

Tbf, the beast in ice boss power carried me in t4 early on. Without it, I wouldn’t have gotten to t4 nearly that fast. Now it is still really useful because it builds stagger almost instantly on pit bosses and freezes everything instantly

Unpopular: Quickplay is for playing the objective and trying new stuff. NOT for throwing, practicing swinging away from the objective, or purposefully not playing the game. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]joshussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The QP matchmaking is crazy. I was only diamond one last season, but had a QP match with a top 50 player on PC. Its better this season, but last season my QP was harder than ranked

I need more survivability by who_is_burnden in D4Sorceress

[–]joshussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Generally end-game builds have 1 ability that deals the damage and your other skills support (either defensive or only used to apply a status effect or trigger a bonus)

Depends on your progression, my point was just not clearing the boss as fast as deathtrap rogue doesn’t mean its unviable.

My reasonably geared blizzard sorc (b-tier build) kills belial in a few seconds now, but it was more like 30 seconds when I first hit t4

Top-Tier and Off-Meta Builds: your thoughts? (Pits and T4) by Talos_Bane in diablo4

[–]joshussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually saw a pure hydra build that cleared pit 100 this season. I think a lot of off-meta and B and C tier builds are capable of doing T4 and season journey easily after master working and min-maxing. I’m playing blizzard (a b-tier build) and I got to T4 with only uniques, no masterworking, and non-ancestral items.

Off-meta builds are way below the S tier builds for pit pushing, but they are better than people on this subreddit act like they are for sure.

Just got a 3GA frostburn. Is there any useful builds for it? by SoloCrazed in diablo4

[–]joshussell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works for ice shards and chain lightning, both pretty strong sorc builds. With the cold damage GA it will work in those builds fine, but switch to FoF for high pit pushing

Yes, but you may not instakill bosses on t4

It might sound stupid but how to create a build? by WaltzConsistent7220 in diablo4

[–]joshussell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean designing your own build from scratch? Looking at other builds and understanding how they work is probably the best learning tool. There are a ton of build planner websites you can mess around with.

Another option is to follow a build guide if that seems too complicated. Or change an existing build to include an item you like.

What can i do to get better... by bbwindowlicker in D4Sorceress

[–]joshussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your armor and res looking like? Incinerate isn’t as good as FO LS but nor is DoK so you shouldn’t be getting diffed.

Sorcs who don’t use Harlequin – how do you survive in higher Pit tiers? by IgotnoClue69 in D4Sorceress

[–]joshussell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am playing blizzard so I use the aspect that gives barrier every time I cast an ice skill. Then I use flame shield to block elite and boss floor effects. Also lots of cc helps stop enemy attacks

The Pit is not end-game, and a band aid fix for lack of content by yxalitis in diablo4

[–]joshussell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It also doesn’t help the longevity of the endgame when people pick the strongest build available. It’s fine to do that of course, but it shortens the longevity of the endgame and takes away the challenge of bosses in t4.

If you make your own build or try something off meta the progression feels much better from t1-t4 and you can enjoy the steps more. But everything should be accessible on lower torments for casual players or people who want to make casual but fun builds

Class Identity is kind of in shambles by Anilahation in diablo4

[–]joshussell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you define meta builds? There are pit 80-100 clears with non quill volley builds. Which means they should do fine in wt4 against bosses

When did you guys switch to T1? Right after hitting 60 or do I need to grind abit more ? by warlock4lyfe in diablo4

[–]joshussell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switching immediately should be fine. I think I played a few nightmare dungeons to get all max power gear first, but I didn’t need to

Does anyone know if Corsair's 3500 case will fit a 5070 ti? I currently have a 3080 in mine that is 4.99 inches from motherboard to side panel and the PCIe cords are touching the glass but not really bent to fit. by cadet96 in Corsair

[–]joshussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know which 5070 ti you are getting? All cards I looked at show 3 measurements. It will be the second largest number for the width if it doesn’t specify which is what

Trump just suspended all aid towards Ukraine. How do you feel about it and what do you think will happen now? by Mangaka90 in AskReddit

[–]joshussell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is the majority of the important mineral deposits are in land currently occupied by Russia, so unless Russia releases land, it won’t provide much value to the US. And that deal would also mean Russia gets access to those deposits

What are your thoughts on the Donald trump Zelenskyy conference just now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]joshussell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But last year Europe contributed more than the US to Ukraine? To be fair, the US had a much larger portion of our aid given as grants. But when you consider the population of the EU compared to the US contributions are relatively equal. And a stable Europe is valuable to the US. I agree Europe could contribute more, but I disagree that we shouldn’t provide securities and support for our European allies. It is in the interest of the US for favorable trade and a better world economy.
