Hey all, I'm struggling to understand what is considered "low health" in this game. For reference, Dark Souls had the red tearstone ring - Gain 20% extra damage while at low health - which gave a UI indicator and character glow when the ring was active. As far as I can tell, there's no indicator showing your character is considered "low health" and has the black pearl active.

Also, do the enchantment power buffs show up in either the item or character screen? I've been goofing around with them a bit but I don't see where any number goes up but I may be missing it.

Thanks!

Been looking to join a group for Kayaking or paddle boarding but everything I'm seeing is focused on the Willamette or Columbia rivers. I'm trying to find something on our side of the hill so I can do some quick after work trips. Any groups that meet up on our side of the hill?

My current set up is in Variant 1. I'm using variant 2 (gem strength) as a sort of soft tracker of possible upgrade. Even with gem strength and flawless gems (shown in variant 2), I'm not even close to swaggy's 88T WW damage. I've got both variants running WW with relevant buffs (boss frozen, shouts, ancients buff, ect ect) . I can't figure out what "lynch pin" piece or buff I'm missing to move from 33T to 88T.

Swaggy frost set up

Brobarians lend me your braincells! I'm gearing up the swaggy frost barbarian and trying to decide between deluge or channeling for the ring.

Deluge: Overpower stacks increase your Primary Maximum Resource by [6 - 8] and regeneration by 2.

Channeling: While channeling a Skill, all damage is increased by [50 - 70]%[x].

At 12 stacks of overpower (running tidal on a 2 hander), and a deluge ring, with all other buffs up I'm at 637 max fury.

Without deluge, all other buffs running, I'm at 445 fury.

Deluge is adding 192 fury overall. Which is a bit confusing since it should be 8 fury per stack ((8*12=96) somehow becomes 192?? Blizzard math???)

Ramaldani's magnum opus should take that extra fury, 192 (see blizzard math comment above), and turn it into a 96% increase while channeling gives 70% on rings.

Unless I'm missing something, 96>70? I'd like to use the tooltip to help me figure out which is better but it hits the integer overflow while using either.

Needed to suck down some copium after failing over 1,000 weapons so I decided to draft out my farming strategy.
Let me know how I can better improve my farming loop.

1 handed weapons (not swords), amulet, gloves -> Salvage for mats

One handed swords -> downgrade to common -> upgrade to unique

Azurewrath, Magnum, Gohrs, penguin ring -> check stats -> if bad, 3-1 reroll in cube -> if good, STEAM then sanctify

Chest/Pants/Boots/Ring -> 3-1 looking for useful GAs -> STEAM useful GAs -> sanctify

ALL two handed weapons-> add affixes to max->upgrade to legendary-> ignore all GA/stats (can be fixed later)-> sanctify-> confirm no gem str and modifiable ->confirm no codex upgrade-> 3-1-> sanctify-> cry

Tried playing with the settings but I can't find a way to not move while WW'ing. Mouse + keyboard

I'm getting ready to grind out 4 horadric gems to fully utilize my gem strength rolls so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Doesn't matter if it saves 2 minutes or 20 seconds..... this is going to be a loooooong grind so I'm trying to shave off any time I can.

"Casting an Ultimate Skill increases your damage by [10.0 - 30.0]% for 8 seconds. Gain 2 additional Ultimate Skill Ranks."

I'm not sure what the correct interpretation of the aspect is, on one hand it calls out "Your damage" however, minions inherent 100% of our bonuses.... am I thinking too much into it or would minions get the bonus from the aspect as well?
