Yep, I'm hooked. The trial on steam only lets you go up to level 10  . So if course, I bought it  Interesting thing is though, when it hits the trial cap, it jumped up to level 25, which started after I purchased it. Whoooole bunch of skill points to assign, lol I should add I'm playing as a necromancer and have ZERO idea how to build it, so I'm just winging it |

The dopamine hit from leveling up a new character and taking it through the endgame is crazy. If you have the ability to game in peace for a little bit, try out hardcore. If your character dies you have to start all over. It really changes the game I only played hardcore once for the achievements. It was stressful but very rewarding. I have little kids and such so the danger of my character dying because I have to get up to deal with the kids is a real problem. Never again, but I highly recommend trying it lol. |

I also love the fact you can look at your nightmare glyphs and see which ones are currently tree stuff (whispers). Also, you can go from NM dungeon to NM dungeon without having to zone out first. I did end up staying a hydra sorc. Problem now is that I kill stuff too damn fast and end up not staying in place long enough for my bird to pick up everything. LOL Now I need to try the bosses in T4. |

I appreciate it, thanks. I'm going to mostly stick with the main story for now or the dungeon here or there is they come across my path. I'm not even going to bother trying to go back through this thread. Any question I have I just pick up my phone and ask grok. Sad, I know, but it works. I'm currently at level 36 hoping for 38 before bed tonight. I'm not sure which piece of gear I changed, but an of a sudden I'm running out of essence really fast. Need to figure out a solution for that. |

Jumped up to T4 from T2 since T2 was a cake walk. Well seems I am not ready for T4. Did a horde event and barely got enough to get the new boss at the end. Jumped down to T3. So much better. Did not realize there was such a large jump from T3 to T4 as far as damage requirements. In T3 I am wreaking everything. T4 took forever to kill named. Another neat thing I found and am not sure if it was intentional or an accident. I was getting ancestral gear Doing the pits when I was still on the easy level. The pit level was above the minimum for entering T1 (Pit level 25ish IIRC) so maybe that was why. |

What's the best solution for lot you didn't need? Just drop the crap once you're full? Better to sell or scrap? Starting off, IMO sell crap, except stuff with aspects on them. Some are hard as hell to come by. After you have a small fund, salvage it all for mats and new and or upgraded aspects. |
| If you are looking for a build that crushes everything in one or two shots, puddle pulverize druid is amazing. Even with marginal gear and only 3 glyphs above 45, it smashes everything. |

Had a good night for once. Ran around and did a bunch of Hellfire stuff and a bunch of chaos nightmares. Turned in all my chaos cash and opened about 15 greater caches. Nothing but stuff I could not use.... Went and did some obol gambling. Wanted to get a 2GA ring so I worked the rings. First try (filling my inventory) was nada. Second try I got a 2GA Ring of the Starless Skies! Now I was feeling pretty good and decided to try gloves. First try and I got the Crown of Lucian chaos glove armor! Heck now all I need to do is get the mythic chest and I'll have it all complete. First time in three seasons that I got a mythic. |

Holy crap! Druid Raven Companion is sick. Literally a two button build - grizzle rage and ravens. Fast, and slaughters everything - and I'm still short a glyph. https://d4builds.gg/builds/e6ca4b40-b46b-47c9-9592-62e5eff707c8/?var=3 |

Ok, so I may have fucked up a bit here I had tempered/upgraded some gear around 51-53 and used it through the end of the main campaign, and up until hitting lvl 60. Unfortunately, in the meantime, I salvages a shitload of other gear, including a bunch of legendaries, because they didn't have near the buffs of my current equipment. Yep, I'm a fuckin retard. So now I have a bunch of under level equipment, and not really sure where to farm to get better stuff. I did the pit once at 3 and cleared it, but I don't have whatever stones it takes to do it again |

Helltides, the red areas of the map, is where you need to go, combined with turning in bounties to the tree. https://maxroll.gg/d4/resources/helltide-guide https://maxroll.gg/d4/resources/tree-of-whispers-guide |

Got plenty of level appropriate gear now. Also, the Tree has extra bonus caches as well for a few days. |
|
Remember that you only need to find gear that has two of the affixes you require. You can enchant what you need into the third spot as long as you have the gold and materials to do so. Greater affix (GA) gear you cannot enchant the GA or it turns into a normal affix. A good practice for tempering is to do both tempers once. Then spend the materials on the most important temper till you get it. Then finish the second temper. If all that fails to get you what you need then you can get Scrolls of Restoration from the Hordes which will reset your available tempers on a piece of gear. But you can only reset a piece of gear once. This all leads back into doing the Helltide as it's the only place to get the materials you need for enchants. |
|
Switched over to the Sorc 3 days ago after I made an alt to get an extra spark. Bye bye Spiritborne. Made it so much easier to finish the season journey, I still don't have all the required gear for the LB build but it still rocks through T4 with minimal tempering and such. I'm going to do another one, might do a druid for the two button build. |
|
I will echo that the raven companion druid build is flat out stupid! It just flat out wrecks everything. Kind of like the lightning spear sorc from a few seasons past. It does have one weak spot though. If the ultimate is on CD then you're useless. Luckily killing stuff reduces the CD so you can have it up all the time. |
| Bone spirit Necro is also very solid,but it is a pain to gear for. It doesn’t start to work until you have one specific aspect, and chaos armo versions of Lidless Wall, Paingorgers, and Crownof Lucion. But once you get it working, it blasts whole screens amazingly well. |

But once you get it working, it blasts whole screens amazingly well. In my ~3 weeks of playing I've been having a ball playing a minion/soulrift necro. On T1 I can pretty much face tank NMDs and most other similar events. I've started doing a lair boss here and there. I saw some about the changes they're implementing next season and in my admittedly limited experience it sounds like a lot of really good changes. |

A GREAT change is coming to Season 11. No more bricking items with tempering! You get 1 temper per item now, and you can pick the affix. They've added an affix to each item as well. Masterworking will add GAs to an existing item, no more re-rolling to hit crits on the specific affix you want. Yay! |

I've probably burned through a billion+ gold this season re-doing masterworking over and over and over until I hit the stuff I needed. I did read that the final bit of crafting (cap-stoning) can still brick an item with suboptimal affixes. |

Everything I've been seeing about season 11 has not been good. Most of the streamers think it's a move backwards and really takes power away from the player. The new toughness stat makes no sense. Tempering, while nice to pick what you want really kills your power with only one temper. So now you have to be very picky. Masterworking is basically useless as it only improves resists and armor. It does nothing for the piece of gear you are wearing to improve it in a meaningful way. Basically, it takes a lot of builds and makes them impossible to do. Some classes now have zero useable builds to get into T3 or T4. They also said that having your skill points/paragon points tied to the seasonal tasks feels really bad. You could possibly hit level 60 and not even have all of your skill points. On the plus side if you start at lowest tier (which they say is almost mandatory now) the mobs feel much more squishy and easier to kill even with only one basic attack. |

Rob had some PTR test builds that were obliterating everything. Bard, Druid, and SB look pretty solid again. Of course, that all depends on what Bliz changes post-PTR. They might nerf everything that risks letting players have fun. |

Sanctification looks like it is going to be frustrating AF, though. Chance of bricking good items, with zero recourse. |

Late to the group and thread, but loving Season 10, probably the most fun I've had with the game since launch. Granted I skipped the last few seasons so can't compare them. Shred Druid build from maxroll.gg and I'm currently in Torment 1. Need to finally beat the expansion that I bought day 1, played for a few days then didn't finish. |

When you get the right gear, try the Raven companion build. https://d4builds.gg/builds/e6ca4b40-b46b-47c9-9592-62e5eff707c8/?var=3 One button build, good mobility and just obliterates everything. Pulverize puddle Druid with the rotting lightbringer is also fun. Big bonks. |

This is my first time logging into 10th. It was something like 156 GB. I didn't need the storage. Last time I played, it didn't impress me. Lots of changes for 11th it seems. |
