No problem with the butcher as a pulverize Druid. I just faceroll him and juggle earthen bulwark, debilitating roar, and grizzly rage. Maybe ran into him 5 times and beat him every time. I'm going to assume he needs to be patched and is not intended to be so difficult for other classes/builds. |

| Can any of you level boost my lvl 26 Druid alt by doing the T3 capstone while it stays at the entrance? I have a lvl 64 Sorcerer that I am not happy playing and rolling an alt solo is tedious work. The story skip should also give you lvl 50 with all the points. |

I have a lvl 64-about to be 65 and it mops the floor with mobs. I will be on in about an hour to an hour and half and could boost you then if you will be around. My tag number or whatever is 1146 |

Thank you but I will be lights out by then. 5am comes real fast. I have tried the ice and lightening meta builds and I'm not getting anywhere near the damage. It's gear dependant at this point in the game and I'm not getting drops that help. I have been running legion, helltide and world bosses when they show up. Ultimately I think it's a play style issue. I usually play a tanky class, not a glass cannon. |

https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/ice-shards-sorcerer-guide This is the correct build for ice shard sorcerer. It’s very detailed. None of that YouTuber BS builds. This runs over everything. And once you get the body (got mine last night) you switch to shatter and it becomes hilarious watching everything explode and die. If by some act of god you get the harlequin crest to drop (only two have dropped in game so far) it will be very OP. |

I remember putting in countless hours and playing in every free moment. I just don't get that urge with D4. It is much too console like in game play for my jaded tastes. |

Is the only difference in sacred items that it has one more affix? Pretty sad when the one hander rare sacred items I'm picking up in WT3 blow away my legendary items from WT2. So far, WT3 hasn't been bad. I need to get better gear before I try to solo a nightmare dungeon. |

Barely put a dent in him while he has me burning through everything just to stay alive for five seconds. Yeah run around until he encounters a bug and gets frozen in place. Worked for me.

Tried a hurricane build druid and it's mediocre at best. Switched to pulverizing druid and it's worse than the hurricane build. I die more as a pulverize druid than I did with hurricane. The only reason I switched from hurricane, is that if enemies are on top of you, your hurricanes do no damage to them. What's a good leveling build that actually works? Preferably ranged. I love my WW barb, but ranged tears that class up. Moreso on the pulverize druid. EDIT: Just to add: It took me 5 minutes on a pulverize druid to kill a ravaged corpse elite for whispers. |

EDIT: Just to add: It took me 5 minutes on a pulverize druid to kill a ravaged corpse elite for whispers. I am levelling up using: Storm Strike Earthen bulwark Wolves Ravens Poison Creeper The biggest help I have found was with the Aspect of the Crowded Sage. You Heal for (XX) Life per second for each Close enemy, up to 70 Life per second. So, I run into a large crowd of enemies, hit creeper to root and DoT them and maybe pop Ravens if I have a tougher mob in the mix. In my lower levels I've had the wolves face tanks some of the bosses for me as I ran around just avoiding stuff and popping Ravens on the boss when the chance arrived. Also make generous use of the Iron barb elixer. +armor, +xp and +barbs I tried a maul build at first but it was horrible. I then did a pulverize build. Again, not so great. Changed to a pet build and it's been much much better. |

The pulverize build does not work without Shockwave, and it's also lacking in single-target environments. |

EDIT: Have to extract it off an item with it already. Bleh. Will hold off on the druid then, until I have obols to turn in for a chance at it. |

Wasn't a fan of the wolves on my hurricane build. |

Wasn't a fan of the wolves on my hurricane build. The good thing is the wolves require no micro-managing. You can if you want, tell them to attack a specific target for increased damage on the initial pounce but otherwise, they just kill stuff that tries to kill you. I usually use that skill for ranged targets and they typically will one shot trash that way. The Ravens you have to call down. They will put an AOE in the area where your mouse is when you call them. Otherwise it's just a random Raven swooping down for minor damage. With obols, getting legendaries is quite easy even at lower levels. They cap at 500 so do not be afraid to spend them. But for me that one aspect I mentioned has made the build work. As I almost never get low on health when confronting large groups of mobs. The more the better. I will be going back to pulverize once I get higher in level and can get the proper aspect for it work. Currently level 47 and just got into Act III. Heh too many side quests. |

Not sure when they start giving you legendries, but I tried using them on my druid at sub 30 and never got any. I have all tier awards and statues. I can hold 1000 now. Will get to 900ish and try for that shockwave aspect. Playing an iceshard sorc. Squishy, but fun. |

Originally Posted By MauserMark: so just learning this from above, you want to beat the game before you hit lvl 50? It's convoluted. In World Tier 1 (WT1) gear stops scaling at level 50 (I think WT2 as well, someone correct me). So let's say you get to level 75, your gear is at a level 50 item level until you start playing WT3 and getting drops. In order to move to World Tier 3, you have to fulfill the following 2 requirements: 1. Complete the Campaign 2. Complete the capstone dungeon (Cathedral of Light) at WT2...which you can't do until you complete the campaign. You don't have to do anything. You can play the game however you would like. Hopefully, that didn't make it more confusing.

Someone tell me if this is a really bad idea. RNG jesus hates me. I'm getting a ton of legendary drops but it's nothing I want. I'm thinking about extracting all the legendary affixes I'm running and just putting them on sacred rares that have good stats. Also, can you overwrite a legendary with a different legendary affix? For some reason this game really wants me to be a werewolf. I'm constantly getting the "All your werebear skills are now werewolf skills..." Stop trying to make werewolf happen, it's never going to happen! |

Stop trying to make werewolf happen, it's never going to happen! i'm not exactly sure how Druid drops are bugged but they are. i think the devs are aware and working on it. I was reading that. I got the impression it was just that our unique loot drop from nightmare dungeons was sharing the barbarian loot table as well. That said, I didn't read it that carefully. All my drops are druid specific...just not the ones I want. I kind of wonder if the game "prioritizes" affixes you don't have as if it's helping you. I want all the same legendary gear just at a higher level.
