When i find gear, i just equip whichever has the green number as opposed to red, plus the stats that make sense. Im a warlock who uses demonology skills as turrets and walls

Just making sure, im level 40 now so i try and keep all my gear lvl 40, when i get 50, 60, etc i will do the same, salvaging any lower level items and legendries so i can save their aspect for later when i find even better gear. This is the way, right?

I hate doing things incorrectly and not optimizing my time with the systems in the game , especially in games like Path of Exile 1/2 and D4 where i plan to play 1k hours at least.

I just cleared Level 2 and im about to go to lvl 3 but i was reading a tutorial and it mentioned one of the captive villagers can give me a key, but i talked to eveyr single one i can find and nothing. Did it multiple times and im so so so confused. Cant find any videos or guides. i think his dads name is Conlan, so maybe i need to talk to him first? Where tf is Sheemish' dad?

I have a few questions before I get too deep.

In the "Season" tab of Rank1's bonus objectives i have 3 more to complete. Trouble in Skovos is 2 out of 3, not sure what exactly I need to do to complete this. Do i need to be on a specific character? Or do these track through all of my toons bc I just did a few world events (at least i thought, the ones that grant grim favor right?) and nothing happened.

Also cant figure out what to kill for Quell the Swell

For gear, so far i finally found 2 legendaries from the 2 world bosses i fought! 2 out. Whenever I find an upgrade i just go to blacksmith and salvage it all instead of sell. Is that the best thing to do or is gold more important than resources?

Theres 6 skill slots in my hotbar and 6 different type of ability . Do you guys take one ability from each like me? ie Im a paladin, so i have 1 ultimate, one justice skill, 1 valor skill 1 aura etc

Any benefit for playing HC and getting far? Im hunting for all Diablo platinum trophies availabe starting with 4, and i need to get to lvl 50. Is there anything else possible to unlock by playing HC?

Should i be spending gold? I havent spent a single coin yet just been collecting. Which systems do i need to really utilize in order to continue growing powerful?

And any advice for Hardcore pls

New to D3 and im just curious if i unlock cool followers later down the line with different classes? I noticed i can edit their armor & equipment which i absolutely adore any RPG that lets me do that. Just making sure... i can equip him with anything right? he wont... leave and take my gear will he? And can i dismiss & resummon him anytime?

I love Diablo 4's mercenary system so far, its very simple and streamlined tbh but when i found out there were a few different ones and i could equip special skills from them i was in love. So far D3 is awesome as well for this!

Also curious how to unlock more pets? I only have the ones that come with Reaper of Souls which are rly cool like the starcraft ship but i need moar. Shit if possible id absolutely love to go on a hunt for all the pets as long as i dont have to buy them >_>

in D3 any loot I find can be worn by my character or my "follower'. are there any other rpgs that have cool loot that i can equip on my party member? i know of dragons dogma which is literally one of my fav games of all time but i cant think of any more that are actually good. games like baldurs gate series. pillars of eternity. dragons dogma i dont care if its an older game or newer as long as its fun

tldr: been on subs for 2 years, 8mg a day thanks to QuickMD. I used to be with a doc that apparently "over prescribed me" but it rly helped at the time. (15 extra films than normal) My new doc keeps me at around 40 films per month. Im a bit embarassed to ask / admit but how likely is it my doc will approve increasing my dose?

Basically, I take my regular dose, but lately the sub0xone isnt as effective and i end up feeling overly crappy, insane sweats and heat, chilled clammy skin, slight blurred vision etc, the usual crap. Full transparency, it has led me to open another strip, even to take a half of it and it helps tremendously. Ofc taking subs every day, i can only expect my tolerance to raise.

I have 2 films left and the only available appointment for her is on the 11th... so i have to survive 5 days basically. Tempted to schedule an apt with a different doctor for this one time, even for an emergency fill of a few films (?) but I feel like that's weird or against the rules. Kind of new to the doc/med scene tbh.

The last time I ran out early, my doc was able to provide a 7-day emergency supply but she did mention this was prob a 1 time thing. but tbh id rather just suffer for a few days than push my limit and lose her trust. What would you do in my situation? Sorry for the long text dump Im honestly kind of panicking xD

I actually had a scare recently, i extracted a wisdom tooth (still have one more to go, not excited at all fml) and they prescribed me motrin, some antibiotics and hydrocodone. i had my mom grab the prescription not thinking anything about it and when i called my quickmd doctor after i healed, she said theres a chance i cant get my subs anymore bc of this. i freaking panicked bc i was completely out of films, in active withdrawal, and she said nothing she can do.. i returned the pills, every single one and let them disposea and i got my prescription same day no problem. scared tf out of me bc if i wasnt able to refill, i would have probably went to the nearest ER (thats what i did last time i had no way of getting suboxne)

I also plan to taper down and get ready to quit entirely by the end of this year!

i beat d4 when it first launched as a sorcerer and i remember enjoying it. just bought lord of hatred & made a warlock, skipped first 2 campaigns so i can jump in. sooo i basically have 2 question rn:

1: as a warlock, ive been using the default/starting weapons (dagger & focus)

i know in PoE2 i can mix/match weapons which is rly fun but is there any downside/benefit to doing so in D4? ie, my spells look / act the same with focus/dagger or 2H Mace. is there any difference at all? it seems i can't actually actually attack with my equipped weapons, so are they just cosmetic / stat/ attribute boosts? this also left me wondering about paladin, does it even matter what weapon i use if im just going to be using a max of 6 total different abilities?

2: i hit lvl 15 on warlock, then i made a paladin, only this time i started at the beginning. tempted to go back and replay the main campaign as paladin but is it better to just start at VoH since i already beat the main campaign in 2023? i heard VoH wasnt as good which is why i went straight to LoH. im also worried ill get burnt out after finishing the main campaign again then going through VoH, then finally arriving at LoH.

poe2 has been amazing for me but id like to wait for 1.0 to really no-life the game, so im back on D4 until then. so far having a lot of fun, 2 completely diff experiences ofc but i like them both :3
