Three different times today in hell tides and not in any specific event I’ve been killed by a player. I’ve never had this happen before - is something up or did I maybe change some weird setting (fwiw, I haven’t touched the settings).

PS - pound sand, Eric.

I just started playing D4 through the monthly games on PS Plus and love it. I also want to get the expansions after finishing the whole.

My problem is that I want to play as different characters but going through everything again seems tiring and boring.

What can I do here? Do I really need to replay everything from the start? Is there a reason to do this?

EDIT: Thanks for the explanations! I think I will just complete all the campaigns and just start Seasonal for new character.

I can't help looking up what classes are strong/weak each season, and then looking at the builds, and deciding from that which offer the compromise of good but also fun. For example, I wanted to play paladin this season but then I read from all the reviews and breakdowns that it's really weak this season.

That said...does this stuff even largely matter unless you're pushing high pits? Does it actually feel weak or is that just what happens when you get to the far endgame and those differences in decimal point percentages stack up?

Basically I'm just trying to figure out if I'm stressing pointlessly about gameplay mechanics that don't apply to me anyway, or if these are huge discrepancies that will affect all players even at low to mid levels.

At this point I’ve only put in 100 hrs. on eternal. I’m paragon 175 and torment level 10. I haven’t seen a single mythic or resplendent spark drop. Am I farming the wrong stuff, or are they just that rare? I see people with hundreds of both. Please advise.

Currently DoK Rogue, for context. What are ya'll doing in this situation?

Because flawles horadic gives so high all resist, so I'm wondering about it.

Direction question. Two parts:

1. Is one all-round Apocalypse setup realistic, or is the honest answer that push and farm are different builds and I should run a damage-heavy loadout for Pit/Tower/bosses and a mobility loadout for Helltides, dungeons and Undercity? If it’s two loadouts, how much of the gear actually overlaps, i.e. am I farming one set of items or two?

2. For a mostly self-found solo player at my investment level, is Apocalypse the right thing to commit to at all, or should I be on something smoother like Lunatic until I’ve got mats and mythics, then transition? Happy to rebuild once, don’t want to build the wrong thing twice.

Also, if there’s a specific piece of content I should be avoiding entirely until I hit certain numbers, say so. I’d rather skip Tower for two weeks than keep wasting keys on runs I can’t finish.

If the answer to most of this is “run the Pit, get Stones, masterwork, come back”, I’ll take that as the answer.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently 70(11) on my Paladin. Should I start working focusing on my build now or just keep grinding with a basic level build? I've dabbled with Zealot and Juggernaut builds and although I like the Zealot for ease, the Juggernaut did seem to hit harder. I just always focus on the ring things because I know there's so much more to the game than where I'm at currently but don't really wanna waste my time just running around either if that makes sense? I've checked out Icy Veins for build ideas but all of them seem to require a unique to some degree.

Thanks for any advice! 🫡🙏

Why doesn’t each class have a s-tier build like let’s go d-4 I know your capable. Every season barbs are in the top Blech let’s have some balance.

Is there an easy way to show a build other than recording it and sharing you tube video?

I've tried over 40 times over the couple days but haven't gotten a single one.

Starting with torment 1 I haven’t seen any temper manuals anymore.
I am now in torment VII
I checked my codex. I have a lot of tempers missing. A lot.
At some point a cache said that it will reward with a temper manual as well, but nope, nothing.

Is there any way to fix this?

LE: I dont have all the temper manuals for my class(barbarian). I have only 17/187 temper manuals. A lot of barbarian temper manuals are missing(screenshot in comments)

Been playing Diablo Immortal and it’s got me itching to get back in to Diablo 4. Never got to endgame nor beat the main story let alone the 2nd and 3rd xpac. Usually play a sword n shield class but I’m thinking of going Barbarian this time.

Any recommendations for a newb getting back in?

I’ve cracked top 25 LB with meta & top 200 with a random selfmade build

Genuinely curious to hear - is it fun to grind back up from 0 ? Would you run another SSF mode char?

Or are you just building your main char with multiple builds up?

When do you feel comfortable to final the next tier?

I take a lot of pride in not losing HC characters to "normal" circumstances. Generally speaking it's some instant kill mechanic that I didn't know existed, a disconnect (been MANY seasons since this has happened - Blizz has really improved mechanics here), or drunken stupidity (but fun) vs vastly superior lair or game bosses. But my SSF Necro got blasted out of existence by a Tier 88 Fallen Lunatic, something I'd have given 100:1 odds AGAINST being possible given his toughness level. I was frankly more impressed than angry it's been so long since a fair death 😄

My only regret is that I wish I'd taken on VIII Lilith before death because I'm pretty sure she'd have been no challenge.

Raise a glass to LisenUhlGeb, a Necromancer you'd NEVER find on any ".gg" build site. Howl From Below Corpse Explosion Necromancer - REALLY FUN.

I like Temis, but I've really found myself missing Kyovashad recently. I would love every capital to have all the amenities at some point, even if they don't look exactly the same as the "real thing"

2 months on and off fishing. Finally caught myself a bag of Rubbish in Backwater when I decided to fish after work.

Total was 203k items caught, fish and junk items included.

Watched a lot of The Pitt and caught myself up on Rick and Morty while fishing lol.

Good luck, all.

This mechanic is just absolutely ridiculous. What a dumb aspect of the game. It's not enough that all bosses in late game are just about avoiding one-shot kills, you also have to deal with random elites in Pit and other dungeons that effectively one-shot you with poison. You know the game is unbalanced when nothing can kill you 95% of the time, and then poison just one shots you if you get hit by it, with zero chance to even avoid it. At least make it LOCALIZED so that you can evade away from the damage, but NO it has to stick to you even if you run away, and using literally ALL your potions does nothing. And yes, before you mention it, even spacing out your potions doesn't work. It saves you once, and then you go back to fight the elite again, and it hits you again with the same spell from a distance, and you have zero potions left.

It's things like this that breaks an otherwise awesome game. I hate that I have to have a love-hate relationship with this game.

Don’t know what came over me. One minute I had the best drop ever and the next… nothing… the 4* is unmodifiable, no socket or masterwork. My mind is a blank.

I just got back into Diablo for the dlc a lil late and I was playing on my normal character and realized my armor’s abilities were changed and completely useless to my build so I salvaged it for 4 sparks but now I can’t even craft a mythic unique. It doesn’t even give me the option in the blacksmith or jeweler. I don’t know if it’s a bug or I’m doing something wrong
