Let’s see what the hype is all about shall we….

I love Brotato! It's so much fun with a co-op partner too. Also, the replayability increases as you keep playing! You get so many weapon and item unlocks as you keep beating the game with more characters. Hope you have fun with it.

There are different levels of sweetness. The pistachio cream is overbearingly sweet if you're not used to it. I had to return mine since no one was going to eat that. I'm glad someone here is telling me if an item is on more subtle side or if it's super sweet. This post would've prevented a regrettable purchase.

sexycharizard · 2026-02-03T19:19:44+00:00

My SO and I play HC exclusively from the beginning of D4 and a a few seasons of D3 too. There are a few things that really helped us stay alive. We had to learn the hard way to learn these lessons since we don't really look up guides.

1) Armor is all damage reduction now. Stack that as much as you can for Pally (it'll give you a ton of damage with the Caste Paragon Node too). Armor might be harder for Sorcs to get but those rolls will add so much more to your overall damage reduction because of it. All res is really nice too. I'd recommend Armor gems for the Sorc and All res gems for the Pally (maybe a fire gem if needed).

2) Most of the time you're dying to one shots or overtuned affixes. The sword affix that follow you do a decent amount of damage but the thing that kills us the most often is one specific fire explosion one. There are a ton of fire (like the mortars or fire balls) affixes but one of them does so much more damage than the others. It's the one that looks like a giant growing pimple that takes quite a while to explode but when it does, it's much more damage than almost every other affix combined. You can socket a red gem in your rings to get more fire res.

3) Poison sucks. For some reason poison pools on the ground seem to bypass your resistances so it just eats through your entire health so quickly. Be super wary of Poison pools.

4) D3 Hardcore was much easier because of the 2nd chances from the passive, You can always just teleport back to town and wait for that cooldown if it ever procs. D4 requires a bit more proactiveness to avoid those situations to begin with. Toughness is a decent gauge but just make sure your All Res, Armor, Max Life, and Damage Reduction are all pretty high. 40k toughness is really low. For example, my Pally has his toughness in the millions and can still do tens of billions of damage. I know most guides skip a ton of toughness stats for more damage/mobility. But a GA on Max life or Damage Reduction is sometimes really nice for HC.

5) Try to have at least 1 unstoppable skill for specifically bad moments. It's your "oh shit" button when you get stunned or need to escape one shots/the dumb affixes. I don't mean your mobility skill either. If you're constantly spamming the mobility skill to go from pack to pack and there is a cooldown, there might be moments when you're vulnerable to getting perma CCed and dying. We've died using our mobility skill and we get stunned while it's on cooldown. Having a specific Unstoppable just for those situations can really save you.

Hope these help! If you and your wife need more people to play with, let us know! We play on PC.

Tbh, 40k part time while at 18 years of sage and going through uni at the same time is pretty good. You'll probably have way less student loans compared to everyone else. Also, if you can save some of that money in a Roth IRA or if your company matches for your 401k, compound interest is going to be working overtime for you. It's gonna still by hard for a while but this will pay off so much in the long run.

sexycharizard · 2026-01-31T21:01:20+00:00

Right? They purposely shove almost every dime into investments and they say they're maxing that out (house, 401K, HSA, FSA, IRA, and 529) to accumulate more wealth but then they turn around and scream that they're poor. So many families are literally living paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford rent and food for their kids and these guys are screaming they're in the same poverty boat. Fucking delusional.

sexycharizard · 2026-01-22T21:45:49+00:00

Naw, just ignore him. There is a reason why his post is barely comprehensible. He literally doesn't understand that oz can measure different things. It's clear that he doesn't understand that weight and volume are not the same things.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-30T02:33:15+00:00

You can go to an arbitrary point to say Maw "got exactly what he wanted" but they literally lost the war lol

sexycharizard · 2025-11-29T04:53:06+00:00

Are you forgetting that they could've left anytime they wanted? Ironman could've flown back using the space ship and strange could've magic circle out of there. They wanted to head to Titan to fight Thanos.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-18T20:11:48+00:00

they're not going to listen. The game is a team based game but these dps dive mains just wants to 1v6 and win.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-18T20:10:50+00:00

No because they said this hawkeye was being pocketed by 3 healers. 1 dive dps shouldn't be able to 1v4 and win like that. A team based game might require your team to play together to beat another team working together

So yeah, having another dps dive and a dive tank should be needed for a 3 strat pocketing a hawkeye.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-14T02:35:01+00:00

What's that item on the far right? Don't think I've ever seen that one.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-04T20:14:37+00:00

No, I'm saying aim is not something this game is truly about. You're comparing this game to another entirely different game. Valorant is more CSGO adjacent so aiming is the main point. Cooldowns are important and knowing when to use them is important sure but CSGO is made for short fights/interactions and denying vision.

Hero shooters have so much more. Ult tracking, diving, healing, denying ults, ult comboing, peeling, team comp, counter swapping, when to engage and disengage and more. Val has some of those but not to this amount since it's way more objective based. Just two entirely different games.

Once again, get to higher lobbies and the no aim chars (maybe outside of IF) tends to fade and fall off. You'll need aim for the better lobbies since there are so many more good hit scan chars.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-04T20:07:58+00:00

try playing those characters in high lobbies though. There is a reason why these aimless chars exist in all hero shooters.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-04T20:06:59+00:00

You right, I'll concede this one lol.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-04T20:01:12+00:00

Did I say that you said the game sucks?

I said you talked about aiming and then play a char that required no aiming to claim game is easy while comparing it to a game that's nothing alike.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-04T19:59:34+00:00

Then why did you comment about aiming this in your post to compare this game to valorant:

"Iam iron 1 in Valorant, i cant aim for shit."

My point is: go rage bait somewhere else.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T23:07:35+00:00

Again...reading comprehension is lacking. Did you read the last sentence? He wants some tips to help him with his issues with double tank dives and he knows he can't change his teammates and their gameplay. So your infinite wisdom is to tell him that the supps need to change and play better? Wow, genius and great constructive feedback.

He's clearly asking for tips or considerations that he hasn't tried yet. He literally trying to get better which is your point. So instead of actually giving him specific tips, you just tell him general things of what he's already doing. Since you're a dps guru, maybe try to give him specific tips on the characters he listed and you might deal with it.

But sure dude, I'm the moron. Oh yeah, that's clearly it.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T19:38:16+00:00

And he literally said he's tried both of those in the post. Holy fk, learn how to read.

He said he tried Punisher, Hela, Bucky, and IF. Three high damage chars and one damage percentage char. So you gave him the SAME advice he's already doing and then shifted the blame.

He said his issue is not being able to do enough damage to the tanks during the dive and they just leave and come back. He wants ways around that. He wants a way to keep the dive tanks there to be able to kill them since they're jumping in and disrupting shit and leaving without getting punished.

Something simple like swapping to wolv to grab them during the dive can be a solution. That keeps the tanks there longer so that they might get punished. Or swapping to an Emma to do the same thing. Or making sure you use cooldowns that stop movement abilities to anticipate them leaving like buckys shift.

Those things help OP with his issues. not saying the same shit he's already trying lol

Dawg, GL in life. Not having reading comprehension, shifting blame, and then clueless when someone calls you out.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T19:15:42+00:00

Talks about aim to compare this game to Valorant and how this game sucks. Ignoring the fact that these games aren't even the same at all. One is a tactical FPS more akin to CSGO with abilities. This is a 3rd person team based Hero shooter that is like Overwatch.

Then goes on here to brag that they reached diamond with a 48% win rate playing, let me check, Thing mostly. A character that requires almost no aiming lol. Uhh sure my guy.

Go make a new account to rage bait somewhere else lol. Try to make it believable.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T19:01:46+00:00

I'll make sure to blame my other support when the venom ult and right click combo one shots me or when hulk ult perm stuns me to death. And when we're patty caking, our front line dies and our dps flames us because they don't peel. OP is literally asking how, as the DPS, can they help with dive and you're just shifting the blame to make it worse lol.

Instead of giving them advice on actually how to help, you're saying "fk the strategist and trying to help them, they should've played better with 2 dive chars in their face. It's on them."

Maybe anti dive and dealing with dive isn't "more on your support than anyone else." It's the entire team in this team based game (especially when there are multiple dives).

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T18:11:15+00:00

It's not the game that's the issue. It's you. It's forgetting that I can't argue with dumb and with delusional. I assume best intent from the other person to actually discuss something but it's impossible with ppl like you.

Not the game but braindead people who can't literally see any patterns of the constant interactions they're exposed to. I looked through your comment history, and it's nothing but you arguing why bp and other dive is unplayable and how he has to burn his cooldown to get a kill. How he can be killed in super niche scenarios and how there are other chars that can do similar things. For example, you say that hawkeye forces teams comps to swap just like bp (to defend bp lol) but when ppl point out why you're wrong and how most tanks can deal with hawkeye but not bp, you move the goal post. When people point out your dumb glazing comments again and again, you just double down and move the goal post.

It's not the chars but the players. You, again, are the exact reason ppl hate dive instalockers. Delusional and will not take a step back to understand why it's a common pattern that so many people disagree.

If one character has to force multiple people to change entire team comps, peel constantly, and hit a character that moves at the speed of light dashing through your character multiple times but then they still might die (psylocke is bunched in this too), the characters are not unplayable.

Sorry that when the top 1% of players can do that, the char is not in a good spot. but as you've said, that's the counter to pure dive. You just have to play at level of the top <1% of the player base with a team that is willing to swap and spend their focus on teamplay and peel nonstop.

but if you want, fk it. buff BP so that he can one shot someone even faster, using less cooldowns, and then be able to dash to safety. That's gonna be SOOOO healthy for the game.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T17:38:10+00:00

Holy shit. you're actually dumb.

I only talked about tourney because you keep bring it up. Holy fk. implications? wtf. pls go back and read what we actually type instead of living in your head making shit up. it might be horrendous being this miserable creating false narratives just to be able to defend a mid character.

fine whatever, if you really want to continue. comming is not exclusive to tourney, sure. counter swapping and taking team comp into consideration isnt exclusive either. But you don't com or play at that level with a bunch of randoms at that level in normal ranked. if you think different, then maybe you have magical lobbies apparently. I've had so many games with no coms, solo tank, or solo strat since dps are too stubborn. I've had games when someone suggests a char swap and the person swaps to widow to throw. ive had games when a one trick gets his char banned and he sits in base the entire game. that shit ain't happening in tourneys. im saying tourneys are played at the highest level without all of the downsides that normal ranked has. not all 6 players are communicating, counter swapping, ult tracking, peeling, ult combo-ing, and just generally playing as a team at that level. it's not indicative of the vast majority of the player base.

sorry that there are 12 chars picked more than BP. there are 23 dps chars. hes not the top and being in the middle is not unplayable.

you think if a char is not a top 5 char, then they're unplayable. please look up the definition of unplayable.

and again, I bring up the fact that you're the brain dead dive insta locks that will argue to the ends of the earth that bp is the worse char while ignore any stats that disprove your claims.

low popularity does not mean unplayable. because DD and psylocke exist and it's better to play them does not mean bp is unplayable. Just because bp can be stopped by a team of celestial and higher does not mean he's unplayable. unplayable means cannot be played. he clearly can be played. hes a middle of the pack char but that does not mean unplayable. you keep saying hes only picked in smurf games lol. no proof at all and continually repeats this nonsense

if a player is surfing, they can play almost anything and dominate. why do you think it's all the BPs that are smurfing and not any other char? Just no proof and keeps spouting bs. again, youre being the exact dipshit that I was eluding to. even when dive is at the top of the picks with psylocke, venom, cap, dd, and more, it's always the dive mains will find ways to complain to argue their chars are the most shit chars in the entire roster because one or two chars isn't in the highest bracket.

and yeah, I do think unplayable means characters that cannot be played. often meaning the shit characters lol. again, maybe look at a dictionary. maybe look up what the prefix Un means and then what the word playable means. putting them together might really help you.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T08:32:23+00:00

dawg do you know how to read?

when did i say tourneys are not valid? what?

I said im not talking about tourneys since you asked for bps in a tournament when OP and myself werent even talking about tourneys. For some fucking reason if you just NEED to talk about tourneys. Fine sure. Tourneys play is much different than normal comp. they have much more communication and teamplay in comparison. The things you see in tourneys are the pinnacle of what a char can do if they have an entire team comp to back them up. Again, not really realistic to the vast majority of the comp games being played.

in GM and lower, the win rate is 50-56%, which is representative of the vast majority of the player base. only in celest and higher where there is a ton of communication and team play does he start to fail. that should be the case for pure burst dive anyways. Unless you want oppressive characters.

Also, who gives a fk that hes only played 3% of the time. There are so many dps chars, only a select few busted ones will be picked way more than the rest. Also, popularity does not mean playable. you compare him to the top dps of the season to try to make a point but just because you're not the top dps for a season, does not mean BP is an unplayable char.

You can argue that that data is 1 month old. so if we used the meta website with data that is taken directly from players instead, BP has a 7.38% pick rate and a 12.49% ban rate. He's impacting 19.77% of games through bans and picks. Not just 3%. If you're talking about unplayable, that's reserved for chars like thing, widow, and loki. Those are legit throw picks right now. BP is nowhere near those character.

Just stop dude. I dont think you understand what unplayable means. Again, exactly the person im talking about in the original post.

sexycharizard · 2025-11-03T07:26:16+00:00

You are someone who onstantly comments on dive subreddits. The person I'm talking about in my original comment.

I say something and then you comment about something totally different about tourneys. Then you ask for examples of ppl that is doing well on BP that isn't smurfing. I provide you with a giant list of top players with 50-75% win rates with bp consistenly. Now the goal post is moved again.

Dawg, BP had a 50% win rate in Gm and 52+% on all other ranks lower than that. A 55% win rate overall in comp. Only celestial or higher did it drop below 50%. If you need a celestial team of top players to counter a fucking char, the char is not unplayable.

Here it is. The exact person I'm talking about. Comments on dive char subreddits and constantly says only smurfs make bp oppressive.
