I remember hearing recently that they added in some options to the...PC version? I forget the details, but it made combat easier. Full HP or full AP or something like that?
I thought that I heard it was also being retroactively added to the PS versions, was that remake AND rebirth? I never did beat remake because I didn't like the combat lol. But if it were negligible...might get myself to go through both of them.
(Posted this in the D4 sub but didn't get any responses. Maybe the auto-moderator stopped that? It suggested I try here)
Heyhey, I haven't played much D4 since it came out. Just got a few characters to cap in the season before the butcher to remember how to play before this big update.
So, I don't really know much about endgame stuff. I went through the story this time (skipping all the scenes lol) and then have just been trying to get through the season rewards, doing tree of whispers, legions, bosses, uhhh....maybe join a group doing bosses if I see it up.
But, I feel like my build is probably ass lol. I just unlocked torment 4 and seem to be doing mostly fine, but still looking for some tips.
Right now I'm using all darkness skills. Decompose, corpse explosion (with dark pool), blight (with chilly pool), iron maiden, golem (well ok he's not dark, I think...), and bone spirit (also dark). Early on I was getting mainly darkness aspects so I just decided to go all in. Putting shadow damage +% on my stuff and focusing on that.
My decompose does maybe 200k, depending, and my bone spirit can do 15mil sometimes at full essence, but other times it seems to not do much at all, not sure what's going on there. I like spreading corruption pools from explosions/blight around, but those don't seem very strong either. I guess 20-30k each tick does add up eventually.
I'm not sure if I should be using a 2h wep or 1h+shield/focus? Early on I hopped on 2handed because it made my damage a lot higher, but I was also dying a lot in T1-2. Not sure what changed in 3-4. Maybe some finagling of my gear aspects and the added chill-ing helped?
Anywhoo, any tips or advice? In past seasons I did a golem build that kicked major ass, all about having 3 golems out and them speeding up the cooldowns crazily so you could basically spam it. I went w/ decompose this time as my main damage because it was long range and chained easily. Never really tried a blood build, or summons in general. Other than golem they didn't seem to do much for me, so I ditched them before even hitting T1.
I think I'm around paragon 80, torment 4-ing fine, but haven't really tried any of the boss lair types yet.
