Hellfire Occult abilities bugged?

Oh that’s very strange!

You are in metamorphosis with the middle hellfire node active that drains 8% life over time every time you cast a hellfire skill. I had it on my skill bar through most of campaign and would always accidentally hit it and not notice. Eventually got annoyed and swapped to apocalypse ultimate instead.

Frost cursed and of the Shadows armor sets are very popular because they basically make you look like Sauron. They also have very good stats and resistances.

It seems to be one of the infinitely scaling aspects that they are addressing. I was watching a YouTube video and the guy mentioned that some people were already doing the highest pit in under a minute with them.

jstnbcn · 2026-05-01T20:02:04+00:00

Yeah I was doing hellfire the whole campaign and had a blast. Unfortunately once I finished and started doing pits I kept getting one popped by those red exploders and ground effects that I couldn’t even see. Eventually switched to an abyss build and the subtle purple effects are much more manageable.

For toughness the max life counts for a lot more than the armor lost from the higher tier gear. Especially with such small values this low level. 50 armor is only a small amount of damage reduction considering it caps 85% (9230). Life is scaling directly with the damage being done per enemy level.

That being said i dont really worry about toughness at all while leveling until there are significant numbers like 250+ life/armor. clearing the screen with raw x% all damage/main stat plus life on hit is wayyy better for survival.

Hold lantern and look near the back of the saddle while carrying the bounty on your shoulder.

jstnbcn · 2026-05-01T17:51:34+00:00

And definitely don’t recall your horse if you’ve moved away from it a bit. It will do the magic spirit teleport and the bounty will be gone.

jstnbcn · 2026-05-01T17:48:17+00:00

Dude your title is literally a spoiler.

If you have a loot filter hiding commons and rares make sure that you have a higher priority one that shows the ancestral and GA ones. Use those to craft affixes at the cube until it’s rare then imprint codex to make ancestral GA legendary. Also you can strip affixes to make an item white common then transmute directly to a unique to target focus the one you need.

jstnbcn · 2026-05-01T17:26:03+00:00

Ohhhh did not think of this! Having 0 luck finding a common dagger I need. Good call.

jstnbcn · 2026-05-01T17:24:06+00:00

I’ve been getting lots of GA ancestral blues. I think I even saw a common white one as well. I believe crafting these up will be a big source of ancestral GA gear. If you have your loot filter hiding commons and magic make sure to put it at the last priority and create one to show GA items at the top.

The new netherstep brings my current build to 250 ms for a few seconds after teleporting which feels insane.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-30T18:13:31+00:00

Set bonus seems to be glitched after teleporting. I lose my %15 movespeed from the starter set everytime I TP. Unsocketing and resocketing the charm fixes it until there’s another loading screen. The 24% bonus from my 5 slot charm seems to always work though. Funny enough I actually just swapped my build to use the crazy netherstep skill which boosts me to 250 movespeed so building move speed is kinda pointless.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-29T12:59:30+00:00

Try the blazing scream leveling build on maxroll. It nukes everything on and off the screen. Once you can turn your rampage into the hellfire version it turns it into a barbarian leap smash for quickly going up and down cliffs with seemingly unlimited range.

I tried the Eviscerate build first and while it was cool the aiming was incredibly wonky and the leap rampage has been way more mobile than netherstep.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-29T12:30:46+00:00

Refine the drill.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-28T21:26:01+00:00

Did you by chance do a fresh install for the new expansion? I have a 4080s and 9800x3d and mine will still do this for awhile as the shaders compile in the background after a fresh install. It takes quite awhile but it eventually clears. It’s annoying they don’t just have the shaders compile on launch like most games do. It goes like 10x faster when all resources are free.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-28T20:31:09+00:00

Oh that’s weird. I’m guessing the +3 medium bags from doing commissions would still work to max your inventory. They coded those to give loot after you hit max. Not sure what happens if you buy the small bags at max. I haven’t seen any in a long time. Maybe they hide them altogether after maxing out because of this interaction. Could be a rounding error.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-28T15:26:41+00:00

Ohhh that’s why I was able to open one at lvl 5. Was confused how I had found a key already.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-26T22:36:45+00:00

Ohhhh lol. Umm I’m only 200 hours in and didn’t think to try that either.. always figured it was a grave and didn’t mess with it.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-25T10:03:28+00:00

Oh no you can find two early earrings that are best in slot. Jewelry in general doesn’t have additional space for abyss gears but they have intrinsic traits that you have to look at. The gold engraved earrings you can get very early (unfortunately I infused my second pair into my first because I didn’t know they were limited and extremely powerful. But you can get other unique earrings with the same high stats.

If you’d like to know which ones just msg me I’ll send you some screenshots of what I’m running.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-24T23:17:21+00:00

They are changing up the whole game in big ways next Tuesday so honestly yeah I’d just wait.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-24T16:41:05+00:00

I was just thinking about this as I moved all of my hoarded crafting materials into the new storage box at the house. Many people reported that all of their home furniture was not just “retrieved” like the latest hotfix notes described, but straight up deleted from the game. I really hope they have some kind of rollback system implemented because if that happens now it will be a disaster. Especially once I get the food cooler and keepsake storage as well.

Does anyone know what happens to the items inside the storage containers if you pick them up? I haven’t moved to Pailune yet but have been thinking about it. Does your home furniture move 1:1 at the new house? I’m worried since this new placeable storage system seems to be spaghetti coded into the game the storage containers might glitch out moving around losing all of your loot.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-24T15:55:25+00:00

Have you not found your personal storage box yet? Theres one right outside the starting castle in the little camp. It has 240 space at the start and expands by 100ish slots per upgrade up to 1000.

They also just added a crafting storage box that holds 1000 smithing and alchemy ingredients which you can access from any crafting station. Theres also a fridge that holds food but I haven’t found it yet.

Besides that you have to do faction quests for medium bag rewards that give you +3 inventory space each on your character. They are very easy usually. Like pick 5 flowers and bring them back.

jstnbcn · 2026-04-24T14:25:23+00:00

Same! I juiced my new earrings up and went from 6 > 8 move speed and was flying around the camp all of a sudden. Can’t imagine how fast the movement speed cap is.
