First time playing Diablo having a great time kinda wanna push the Tower and my WinterFresh mages seem to be petering out around 120~ or so even though that build is super fun to play.

Anyone got the best updated blood wave? Only hesitation I have is it kinda looks boring to play before I devote the time for it does anybody have fun with it or is it kinda just one button build?

I’m pretty much not bothering with an alt this season, looking for weird off meta fun stuff that y’all have tried or YouTubers that have stuff etc.

Corpse Explosion seems super fun, but I know it’s weak etc hence off meta. Just one example. Idk I’m new to the game so wanna explore stuff. SoulRift? Idk! Anything!

Let me know if you’ve cooked up anything fun and if there’s a template I can try. I have a lot of random Necro gear laying around

I’ve been using Jericho’s WinterFresh and it’s a blast and I’m wondering if there’s a way to sort of lean into the cold stuff but go full minion (don’t sacrifice the warriors, etc) and maybe keep the Bone Storm stuff?

I haven’t worked it all out but wouldn’t that just be strictly better damage and stuff as opposed to going all-in on the Mages? You could even keep Hand of Naz and keep the Skeleton Priest perk and/or just summon more Warriors?

I’m not the savviest but if anybody has played something like that I’m really enjoying the cold flavor for Necromancer it feels really thematically fitting and I’m trying to optimize it. Using Azurewrath and Lidless wall right now fwiw with a Bloodless unique charm

Edit: or is sacrificing just straight better?

I’m fairly new. Playing Necromancer right now. Paladin looks fun but I’ve heard is really weak? I’m looking for a class that has suitable build variety (so I don’t get too bored) in the endgame and can clear T12 content effectively in multiple subclass builds. Pit pushing I know paladin isn’t great at this season, but yeah. Looking for a good resource as well for solid builds and advice

Are there multiple viable endgame builds (I get tired of same ole same old haha)

Are any human Druid builds viable?

Lastly, which sites do you recommend as the best to follow? I see Screamheart makes a lot of builds? I get anxious about following a build and investing time and resources only to realize it’s quite suboptimal

Hey everyone. Been playing Astral Bone Spirit from Mobalytics and having a fun time with it but I’m stalling out a wee bit around T8~ due to the difficulty gearing it (needs greater affixes in higher torments etc). Mostly just too squishy but can’t spec into survivability without the greater affixes for essence regen which is all RNG

Looking for a minion/summoner build that isn’t PURE lazy - I’d like to feel like an army commander and at least be somewhat involved. The more minions the merrier

I’m a little overwhelmed by the sheer AMOUNT of minion builds I almost have like FOMO of “choosing the wrong one” to spend resources into if that makes sense?

I like chill/cold flavor for Necromancer it jusr feels like thematically fitting if that helps, but I’m pretty open. What are y’all using? There’s just too many for me to pick through so I’m crowd sourcing because I don’t wanna choose badly haha

Looking for something that can handle basically anything and isn’t completely “do nothing” thanks!!

Necro first class I’ve gotten into endgame/paragon (caveat - still beating the campaigns so I don’t have LoH done yet, been taking my time).

Been doing a kinda homebrew version of a minion “build as I go” and I’m in torment 3 and doing well and I’m sure I could refine it and gear up better and go higher, but I honestly am at the point where I want a bit of novelty!

Blood wave…looks cool for a bit but if it’s JUST Spamming blood wave the entire time not sure how stoked I’d be on that lol.

I don’t mind having some minions, just not entirely minion. I’m definitely intrigued by like Chill or cold stuff, just seems to fit the Necromancer flavor really well, but I’m open to whatever!

Does NOT have to be meta. I’m not interested in leaderboard pushing or anything at this time. Just enjoy the game

Question about vibrators

I want to preface this by saying that my partner and I have an amazing and strong relationship, we communicate very well, and our sex life is very very healthy and we both agree incredible.

I also want to say that I suffer from anxiety and rumination that sometimes gets into ROCD (relationship ocd) territory. My partner is aware and we keep things open and discuss etc and it has gotten way better.

Lastly I want to say that I am sex-positive, I believe in destigmatizing women’s pleasure and I believe I am a very unselfish partner in the bedroom.

My partner has a vibrator that she/we use occasionally during sex, I’d say we incorporate it roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the time, and she uses occasionally as well I assume solo. At the beginning of our relationship I had some typical sort of male fragility around this issue and I felt intimidated a little bit and anxious about not being able to satisfy her etc etc.

I am able to bring her to orgasm in a variety of ways, she is one of the vast majority of women who cannot get off from PIV alone so clitoral stimulation is 100% a necessity which I have no ego about nor do I expect her to be able to finish during PIV. I will also add that I am not remotely opposed to incorporating the vibrator into our sessions whatsoever.

I am coming to Reddit because despite our communication and openness, my intrusive thoughts and rumination about not being able to make her feel as much powerful pleasure sometimes still persist. I understand the contradictions here — simultaneously being completely open to sex toys and often I’m the one introducing it for a given day, while still struggling with some slight background insecurity — and so I am wondering —

My partner says that while the vibrator is undeniably faster - this makes complete sense to me - that the orgasms that I give her are just as intense and pleasurable as the ones she has with the vibrator.

I am just wanting to ask y’all and kinda crowd source lol bc my brain often does the intrusive thoughts that she loves me so she’s probably protecting my feelings etc etc — are vibrator orgasm BETTER?

For example during PIV she cannot reliably orgasm while touching herself but can pretty reliably orgasm if using vibrator during PIV. I typically will use my fingers or mouth to get her there the “ole fashioned way”

P.S. I’ve always lowkey wanted to be a woman for a day bc I truly have no idea how a vibrator feels for a woman lol we’ve tried hers on me and it doesn’t seem to do a whole lot LOL

For example, if I sacrifice the Blood and Bone variant of my Golem, but keep the Iron, do I still get the benefits of the Iron Golem AND the sacrifices? Or is clicking sacrifice for ANY of them nerfing ALL of them

Having the most fun with Druid so far. Brand new to the game. The flavor of Druid just appeals to me the most I think. I have been doing some storm shred type stuff so far in the campaign but wondered if there’s any other fun options. Are there any decent Bear or Human form Druids / tanker or earth based stuff perhaps? Everything I see online is werewolf and storm haha. Which is super fun but I like variety

Brand new to the game! Playing the base campaign. Got my Warlock to about level 25 so far. I play on controller if that matters.

Feeling pretty overwhelmed by all the trees and abilities and what synergizes with what and keywords and whatnot and chaining abilities etc

Was wondering what y’all’s favorite builds are for leveling and your favorite for endgame as well once I get there. Just feeling a little overwhelmed but I love the flavor of Diablo’s warlocks not so much making a pact with demons but subjugating them, it’s been fun. I also love Nether Step so far alongside claws or chains.

Played all 3 classes during forsaken and shadowkeep, but after 2 long hiatuses pretty much ignored warlock and hunter (especially Hunter)

I’m not the greatest player and play on controller on console and i can’t really compete sometimes with my MnK friends in raids / DPS and stuff and that’s fine it doesn’t bother me but I am a little tired of only using thundercrash for DPS

I feel like Hunter has some more fun options and variety and can hang in DPS without needing crazy swaps or rotations?

I also am looking for Hunter build recommendations for general play

Do you prioritize Class stat / Melee for Hunter? I pretty much only play Titan so my knowledge is minimal for Hunter but wanna try it

Edit: also looking for builds to solo dungeons etc trying to do those as an accessible challenge rather than crazy stuff like 2-man raids haha. Spire’s first boss I do like nothing to on Titan

Has the primary meta shifted?

Returning player and a bit overwhelmed. I’m seeing people say Zaouli’s Bane is now better with like Redirection + Chaos Reshaped.

I always thought the old “single target increase damage” primaries got power crept by splash primaries, even in harder content generally speaking you want to kill as much stuff in as few trigger pulls as possible, no?

Maybe I’m wrong if Artifacts can do all the splash for you?

I’m torn on what to look for in my primary ammo weapons these days. Single target stuff and damage buffs, or splash? Help!

Pve focus. I typically run just shy of or just over 100. Sometimes up to 120~ or so.

I’ve always thought the strict damage bonus and reload bonus was worth it relative to some of the other stats that I don’t mind punting on more. On certain builds obviously I want over 100 melee or super, etc, but by and large we have so many ways to get our abilities back nowadays that I see weapons as a very valuable stat to invest in

On another threa today people were saying weapons at 100 is “useless” in PvE and I firmly disagree due to aforementioned ability regen, but I’m open to being wrong and want to see what people think.

Love Titan but prefer a more…aggressive play style. generally speaking. What’s everyone running with storm keep to keep it exciting? I thought maybe like an auto rifle with the auto rifle exotic chest ? But I’m sure that’s suboptimal LOL.

Really having a blast with how wide open and possibilities the sandbox has nowadays. Everything has its place and seems strong

Returning player sorry. So I typically have gone the “doesn’t require much swapping around” route with builds and just throw whatever weapon surge on my legs that most of my weapons are on. My question is — can you use multiple fonts / surges at the same time to use the same “armor charge,” or is it limited to 1 font or 1 surge?

On a similar note, a clan mate of mine said weapons is a good stat to proc into on any build but on YouTube I see a lot of people neglecting weapons entirely? A 15% buff and 10% reload speed buff seems good to me to at least get it to around 100 on basically ALL builds?

Thoughts? Is that just a YouTube thing to make the ability spam seem a little better, or is neglecting Weapons actually the play?

Returning player. Last played final shape. Still need red borders for a lot of weapons. Pretty overwhelmed at the enormous amount of weapons and perk pools and trying to get an idea of what perks are generally good on what archetypes these days?

Not asking for someone to do a TON of work by themselves just hoping this can be a thread for some general info / maybe there’s a link somewhere for some god rolls or whatever.

Like area denial grenade launchers are mostly new to me, no idea what’s good on them, unsure about some of the new perks as well.

Very overwhelmed! I need to make an excel sheet of what to chase and where honestly lol
