How is video quality + input latency in online gameshare?

So I need the upgrade pack for Gameshare, but we can play through all content of the game together? Like the base game + new DLC?

We have played Hyrule Warriors through Online Gameshare and the video is kind of blurry on the client's end, they also have maybe 1 second of input latency. Which that input latency would be brutal in a game like Wonder. So wondering if it's any better. Or if anyone has vids to someone playing online gameshare as the client (one having the game shared with them not the one that owns it) so I can see for myself.

How do you navigate Durance safely when trying to speedfarm?

If you walk through Durance you have to deal with the dolls and idk if they are broken or what but they always make my heart rate spike. And if you are teleporting through you can teleport into a pack of them and almost die while teleporting. What's the safe way to handle this lol

Does the deluxe edition on Steam get you everything?

Probably going to get this when the Steam sale happens (assuming it is going on sale) to play with my brother and a friend. Does Deluxe include all content + classes? I know I could Google but AI can be wrong and games like this new things come out all the time. Also kind of wondering how essential a subscription is for the start of the game, or when it becomes essential.

Should I use resist in socket of Vipermagi?

I put uber jewel in Shako (which I'm told was a fuckup) so wondering how to use my Vipermagi. If I do resist I can get rid of some resist charms. I'm at 250 MF in farm gear.

How is fire warlock compared to abyss in endgame with decent gear?

I have a decently geared abyss lock at 92 I am debating switching to fire. I would have to swap my sunder and uber ancients jewel for the fire versions, and also get a token to respec. So I want to know if it's worth it before taking the plunge.

I have Shako w/ magic uber jewel, +3 chaos ammy, Serpent Magi chest, Spirit crystal sword and Spirit monarch, Arachnid's Mesh belt, rings are MF or resist depending on what I'm doing. Boots are some set boots I forget the name of, that increases magic resist to help offset effect of renewed magic sunder. And anni and torch.

I can somewhat stunlock things with Abyss which I've gotten used to for controlling mobs, so also wondering how fire compares to that. I'm assuming I might be able to get a better fire sunder trading up my magic one since the magic one I believe is more rare.

Also brother is fire sorc, so... would it be worse for dealing with fire immunes as opposed to me being magic dmg and him fire? We are mainly doing Tomb TZs now for xp. And we have to avoid some Heralds (mainly gorebellies and burning dead with unravelers at tier 5).

Advice about how stuff is handled being moved to non-ladder

Heyo,

Been going the hardest I've ever gone with this game, have a level 92 Warlock and am hoping to hit 99 (for the first time) before this ladder ends. The thing is I think after I get moved to NL I will want to play there, to have a high power character farming stuff for other characters to make it easier to get other class achievements (on Steam) and also maybe get other class 99s. Rather than starting completely over on new ladder.

I am curious. Let's say they nerf me (I'm Abyss Lock), and my build sucks after being moved to NL. Do they give a free respec, somehow, if this happens? Or would I just have a dead in the water character aside from gear? I've spent all their Den of Evil respecs already and getting tokens isn't easy/cheap.

Also, what is essential to get done before going to NL? I know Cure and Bulwark are good merc helm runeword options, I already have one of each. I could make more of those before getting transferred to have them for alts rather than having to pass 1 of each around. Any other ladder only runewords I might want to make?

I know there are also two recipes, I believe for doing exceptional to elite weapons and armor, that are ladder only. What items can these be used on? How essential are they?

Also curious what economy is like on NL, since I am assuming there is more stuff on the market. Is it cheaper to get upgrades on NL?

And anything else I should know.

Couple quedtions RE: Shako and goals for grinding

So I managed to get 2 Shakos from Traderie, one for me one for my brother. Best thing to do for a "cheap" upgrade is add socket and put PTopaz in for more MF? Or something else?

Also curious. What keeps you motivated to keep farming once you can do good kill speed on players 3 (where drop rates generally soft cap) and have decent MF (I'm at 206 right now)? I am not sure if I want to shelve solo play and only do coop when schedules align with people I know IRL to do TZs to work towards 99. Or still do solo play but feeling kind of aimless. I think it was 250 MF you want for farming and if I do PTopaz in Shako I think I'd be around 230 MF. But what are the goals that are left? If I can kill bosses on players 3 would I be just fine for Ubers and Ancients? I don't know what else there is. Tbh overall the seriously low return for time at this point is making me kind of feel like a slave to the game.

Is Hell Andy still good for shako?

I know they made some changes to her this season. Also would going from 98 to 138 MF help much? I have a 40 MF ammy I could swap with my +2 Chaos skills ammy for boss kills if it'd help.

Need advice figuring out how to progress

Cleared Hell on level 82 Abyss lock, I walked to that Act V Hell from first quest in Normal then got skipped to Ancients and Baal. I have tried soloing Hell Cows but can't do it, merc keeps dying.

First my gear.

On my character:

Lore
Prismatic Amulet
Smoke
Spirit in Crystal Sword
Ancient's Pledge in Kite Shield
Demonhide Gloves
Ring 1: 10% FCR and +30 Fire Resist
Ring 2: 28% Cold Resist and 5% Lightning Resist
Boots: 40% Faster Run/Walk and 13% Cold Resist Belt: 28% Fire Resist
Total Resists (before penalties):
Fire 197%
Lightning 182%
Cold 179%
Poison 176%

On merc:

Stone Veil Helm for Def and Res
Insight Partizan with lvl 13 meditation and 111 - 226 dmg
Yellow Plate Mail chest for defense and resist

I know I can get a Smoke for Merc, I've also been trying 5 player NM Andy for Rockstopper for him but it's been 20 runs now and no luck (nor a Vipermagi drop). I know I can get a Thresher for him for more damage but I think I've read that's Hell Cows and like I said I am having a lot of trouble with Hell Cows, merc dies constantly, I kill really slow. That's the thing, when I went from NM to Hell, it only took a couple hours to get the resists I have now from farming NM or spamming vendors for resist gear (belt and boots), but stuff started taking way longer to kill. I have a +1 Warlock skill ammy and also a +2 Chaos skills ammy, but I haven't used them cuz I feel like I need the resist on the amulet.

What should I be target farming to progress? My guide on maxroll says to get Void on a Kris, I have a Kris base but don't have a Zod and from what I can tell that's pretty rare. The other stuff it mentions is Hell boss farming or needs super rare runes in Hell. I'm basically seeing the endgame guide as bis gear but idk what I'm supposed to do to get smaller steps up to that point.

Ideally there's stuff I can spend time target farming myself, I don't really want to just join a room that gives away free items or trade something I have (that an alt might need) to get instant gratification.

Are you supposed to use Terror Zones for leveling now?

I have been trained on only doing Baal runs to prep for NM, then again to prep for Hell, then again to grind all the way to 99. Are Terror Zones better XP? If so what levels do you use them to get to before proceeding to NM and Hell?

Also they reset every hour, and if you clear one in a game before they reset, you have to make a new game to refresh the zone?

Should I craft champion weapon or shield?

I am holy paladin. I have a veteran weapon with enough crests to max it out. Should I craft my champion weapon, or shield to maybe get more power? I am kind of worried about getting ilvl higher to make it easier to get into groups too... my shield is ilvl 220 right now.

What do I do for weekly caches with gear in them?

Like TWW had the theater and doing special assignments. Aside from special assignments, what in this has the 4 caches you get per week?

Also if there is a good endgame weekly checklist out there... I found one on icyveins but it doesn't have the caches, so I am wondering if anyone knows of one that's complete.

Some questions about the overall endgame S+ tier WW build on maxroll

So I was having fury issues once I got the Crown of Lucion unique charm, then I saw the updated the guide since I last played and Rallying Cry is on the bar now (I don't think it was before, if I did I missed it). So is the proper way to do things, hit rallying cry before Iron Skin, so that it does way more fury gen? I'm just curious, I've been hitting Rallying Cry before Iron Skin and before using the sorc teleport evade (for Unstoppable to trigger Tibault's) and my fury is pretty much constantly at 100%. Prior to doing this I was constantly losing my "big size" and all the buffs that went with it...

Also, I have a 1 star Tyrael's Might. The guide says to use a legendary chest with Heavenly Strength on it. The thing is my Heavenly Strength is still just 35% DR, same as what I have on my Tyrael's Might now. Does it make more sense to use Tyrael's Might now? If so, at what point do I switch back to Heavenly Strength?

As far as my progress on the build, I basically have the endgame build except I'm using the unique helm since I don't have Heir of Perdition yet. I do have Grandfather though, a 1* 900 one. If this info helps at all with getting advice...

How to use DBM timers instead of Blizzard ones?

When I first loaded Midnight, DBM asked me if I wanted Blizz or DBM timers. I chose Blizz. But now when I get the LFD popup, it doesn't have the countdown timer, I am guessing that was a DBM timer? So I want to try DBM timers, but can't find the option to switch back to that. Anyone know where it is?

  1. When I logged in and opened my tender chest, I had 3.3k. Now I know I got 500 for buying Midnight, and you get 500 just for having a sub when a new month starts. But where did the other 2k come from? I haven't had a sub since prepatch and I had definitely looted my tender back then.

  2. What is the reset timer for WQs this xpac? Is it still like TWW (which I preferred) where it resets in bulk twice a week, and you can you can pretty much get them all done in about an hour a week?

  3. Just did my first Midnight delve. It seemed shorter than TWW, I know it's easier on lower difficulty, but I mean the amount of mobs and it was really linear, not big rooms with lots of pulls for %. Are all delves in Midnight going to be shorter than they were in TWW?

  4. Also Valeria (I think that's her name) was only showing like 70dps on my meter. Is it just broken for tracking her, or is she broken? She had some kind of line move (I think) that seemed to be doing a lot of damage... outside of that I'm not really sure I noticed her contributing (I'm a holy paladin).
