No Spoilers Official Diablo IV Discussion

I really don't understand the reasons for preventing gear leveling after level 50 if you haven't finished the campaign. It's hurts my brain knowing I can't journey around doing side missions before the main story.

Welp, guess I gotta go bear

This item is on my wishlist, been running a wearbear build since level 35ish it's alot of fun stampeding and smashing.

Pulverise with the aspect that turns it into an earth skill and creates ground spikes is deadly.

Oh, yeah, pulverize. I mentioned it above but I thought it was trample for some reason. I got tbat one, too. I also got a weapon with a perfectly rolled Stat that gives your earth/storm skill some stupid high crit chance if you cast it after the alternate skill. Ie, cast earth skill, then storm skill and the storm skill get super critical. And vice versa for the other direction. So I'm leaning toward switching it up a bit. Maybe switch Storm strike for maul and dehabilitating roar for hurricane. Just spit balling.

I have that aspect as well for the crits but it's a shit roll, low level item.

Another I'm trying to get turns pulverize into a shockwave and makes it into a projectile as well as the initial slam, the damage is suppose to be insane

doing a nightmare dungeon at level 63 with level 69 enemies and had the butcher spawn on me when i had that lightning conduit shrine buff active. literally melted him in 2 seconds lol. fucking hilarious.

 

[gentlemanjack]

Loving this one way more than I did with the 3rd one. Went druid as it seemed fun from reading all the posts in here. Doing a werewolf build but so far every legendary I get has aspects for werebear. It may be a sign.

Spending a bunch of time exploring before the campaign even gives you a mount is... unwise.

Mostly do the campaign. You'll have all the time in the world to explore on nightmare and torment. Finish the campaign by level 50.

I think I had the mount by ~ 33 and finished campaign at 43. Then run dungeons and side quests to your hearts delight until you can beat the capstone dungeons.

I just beat the campaign and the capstone today. Switched to tier 3 world. Is there no campaign after you beat it? Just exploring and doing dungeons you didnt do and special events?

Yeah, the endgame opens up nightmare dungeons which scale up to 100. in World 3 and 4 you mostly grind dungeons (nightmare and regular), helltides, and world boss.

Sounds kind of lame tbh.

Thats the series. Diablo 2's "endgame" was endlessly farming dungeon bosses and the cow level.

At a certain point I remember it was just farming the cow levels and that was it.

 

[Hyden]

It sound about right, D2 end game consisted of pit runs, trav/countess/lower kurast runs, Baal and mephisto runs, endless cow farming, rushing. Sounds about right.

What cow level?

Gtfo with this nonsense

lol what? I thought everyone knew about the cow level. It was the best way to level in D2.

 

[HereticBD]

There is no cow level.

 

[method115]

There is no cow level.

In D4? I wouldn't know haven't played it yet. The person I responded to was talking about D2's end game.

It's a long tired joke.

Yeah 1.09 d2 endgame was just all cow level with a side of terribly imbalanced dueling.
