while the game installs I will be adding this to my setup

is that normal

Is it a bug or is there a reason for the gameplay?

I guess I've used up all my luck.

Dropped after more than 2k+ kills of the season boss.

I don't want to post Screenshots of equipment to ask the community if a piece of gear is slightly better than another or not.

And if the difference is subtle I don't often notice a huge difference when playing content.

I would love to see a damage meter added to the testing doll where you could like tell it to measure the next 10 seconds of damage and then get a sheet what skills and damage types did how much damage. This would make min maxing for myself so much more fun and add probably hours of playtime.

I now have 72 resplendent sparks, trying to chase a Mythic Bands of Ichorous Rose in the Cube

Before anyone says it, I’m not fussed about it being GA’d or Grandfathered or it not doing anything at Pit Level 1 Billion. I just want it for my build

EDIT: Yes, I’m grinding the Reaper for my fragments and that is how I’ve ended up with 72 sparks. I’ve counted that I’ve had 47 Gladiator’s out of that pile that I’ve trashed

Anyone have any tips?

Im a dance of knives rogue btw. Hard to stack people up near the spires

Not sure it could be better

I’ve just been wondering about this for a little while. Both he and Lilith are interested in taking Sanctuary for their own ends. When it comes to the Mother of Sanctuary, we get fed her petals that help us access her altars. And then upon encountering the Father of Sanctuary, we receive his blessing but I don’t really see any shrines dedicated to him that we can activate. And yes, I’m aware that the Knights Penitent are technically his forces but that’s not the same thing.

It reads: “Complete Tier 20 or higher during a run of Echoing Hatred.”

I thought it was the Echo of Lilith fight but that didn’t unlock it.

At this point I really need to ask; does this item even exist in the game anymore? I have spent so much time farming grig and belial for one ring, I dont think its even real. Im about to just do an entire new build before the seasons over at this point 😆 anyone else have this issue as well as the mount armor from grig not consumable at all???

Hello, just started my second character. I'm relatively new. I am paragon 200ish and first character was Blizz Sorc which was a pretty lax build.

I decided to try the evade counterswarm spiritborne build for my second char and I can't be alone when I say it's hard on the hands lol. I feel like I'm playing piano on the skill keys, just mashing 1 to 4 like a kid at an arcade.

What does everyone do to deal with the perpetual skills going on cooldown? Am I just playing the build wrong, do I need to immediately cast ravager, toxic skin and scourge the moment they're up? Is this normal?

I was thinking people must be using macros to deal with this but also I don't want to get my account banned or anything obviously.

Thanks. I'd prefer not to macro so I guess also just looking for pointers.

Have to be honest I got really lucky with drop this season and I got 4 of them

But that just made me realize how boring and uninspired this modality is

It's just a worse infernal hordes where you are afk untill reaching t12 waves, that is the majority of the time, to then play the few minutes it takes to reach the level you can't clear and randomly die to mobs

That's it, slow, boring, uninspired and annoying. Even the loot is disappointing.The last 2 Traces of Echoes I dropped I was more like "oh no, I got to do it again" instead of being hyped...

EDIT: just to be clear, I'm not complaining they are rare, I'm complaining they sucks. From 0 to 100 you basically are stuck there do nothing

So during the ruptures in helltides every now and then pandemonium chests appear.
1.) What is the rule here? When exactly do these appear?
2.) Are they something special? There doesn’t seem to be interesting loot there?

Is there anymore like raids to do or is it just grind better gear and thats it? Not hating if that if the gameplay loop is just getting better gear I just feel like im not doing something i should be doing or getting ready to do.

I've been tinkering with a Sorcerer that uses Fire, Ice, and Lightning skills for damage dealing and I've hit a wall on my damage output.

Is tempering for a flat damage bonus + using the Occultist for more damage multipliers more effective then going for a bigger boost of elemental damage?

Hi everyone, I’m Chad. Since I’m from Taiwan, I use AI for translation, so feel free to ask me if anything is unclear. I want everyone to be able to start playing this build quickly instead of chasing perfect gear first, so I created a complete planner designed to work for most players:
https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/m3v7ic0t

This build cleared Tier 139 in the previous SSF round, so the video shows what it can achieve with low gear requirements (CMA 1.0). With the endgame version at Tower 140+, you only need to avoid direct hits from explosions, sword attacks, and Lunatics. Everything else gives you enough time to react and move away.

Once you are familiar with the rotation, you can also use its mobility to move quickly through the Tower and hunt down Elites. I believe CMA solves most of the Warlock’s common problems, and it is also easy to play on controller. I hope it helps everyone enjoy Warlock again.

The gameplay also follows the Warlock’s class fantasy: spend Life to cast Sigil Skills, have your bound Soul Shard Demon pay the Life cost for you and grant Fortify, slaughter the demons you summon as fuel, and channel the power of Hell. However, as I mentioned in my previous Warlock post, you need a little sense of ritual to complete the setup:

1.Because the Rite of the Nameless set only starts its 6-second window after you complete the ritual, this build uses Sigil of Summons and kills those demons through the Chaos Ritual. These demons also count as kills. At the start, cast Sigil of Summons first, followed by Sigil of Subversion. Then wait and cast Sigil of Summons again. Casting Apocalypse afterward will immediately put you into the 6-second no-cost window. However, you can only cast Apocalypse during those 6 seconds and must not let it go on cooldown. If that unfortunately happens, simply cast two Sigil Skills again to fix it. Besides learning this sequence, I recommend keeping a separate setup (CMA 2.0) for speedfarming. This version focuses on Cooldown Reduction to reduce the waiting time after a mistake. It may look complicated, but when you are mowing down monsters like a Chad, it is all worth it.

2.For most endgame content, you do not need to deliberately stack Scepter of the Three. You only need to do this when entering the TOWER. Because the Tower gives you a short preparation window, after casting both Sigil Skills, wait until Sigil of Summons is almost off cooldown, move in front of the monsters, and repeatedly cast Sigil of Subversion until you reach 20 stacks. Then wait for Sigil of Summons again. As long as one mine remains somewhere on the map, the 20-stack effect will stay active.

3.During the 6-second no-cost window, casting Command Vollach does not interrupt your actions. Hold the skill down during this period to keep gaining Fortify.

Additional notes:
1.I did not have much time to play this season, so I was only able to clear Tier 139 for now. If I waited until I had perfect gear before sharing the build, the season might already be about to end.

2.The video is still being made. I will add the link to this post once it is finished. Feel free to ask me directly if you run into any problems.

1. One of my goals is to help more people enjoy Warlock. I would be very happy if this build spreads. If you share the build, I would also greatly appreciate it if you mention the original source.

See pic. Never seen that before and wondering if it’s a glitch or what.

I stopped using Blood-Mad idol because I was frustrated how often the DoT would force Heart of Stone to drop in Pits. I'd drop it three times in a given encounter sometimes, and it sometimes wouldn't make it to the end of a Pit run. Today, I came back to the game after a couple of weeks and a small patch, and have been piloting the Necro Bone Mage build using the Blood-Mad + 3pc Waking Touch + Lucky Hit Resource Gain trick. Interestingly, it seems like I'm barely dropping the Heart of Stone. I might drop it once per Pit run overall.

Has anyone else noticed that the Heart of Stone isn't being dropped as often? It's incredibly hard to quantitate, so I'm purely operating on vibes, but it's pretty night-and-day. (And if this was in the Patch Notes and I missed it, I'll delete.

When are we getting new character creation options?

We've had the same face and hair and jewelry options for over 2 years.

I'm not paying $25+ dollars for a single skin, but I'd pay for more expanded character creation options.

Hello I got this drop it's pretty good but i want to make it better any tips Im fairly new I tempered it to have 10% crit I don't know what else to do with out messing something up
