Ok so i broke my build after respeccing and didnt know you cant respec again lol. Im stuck at diablo on the normal difficulty and need someone to kill him so i can respec on the next difficulty. Can anyone help ?

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Just finished normal with my sorceress, here's my skills so far:

10 fire bolt
20 fire ball
3 fire mastery

1 static field
1 telekinesis
1 teleport

Should i respect in nightmare or I keep going that way? If so, do I go blizzard, meterorb, orb/fireball?

Really up to you in regards to all those questions

your build will be viable through some of NM, you can stick with it until you feel you’ve hit a wall

as for what to respec into, all 3 you listed at viable, meta builds. Can’t go wrong with any

I stayed pure fire until I got a spirit rune word sword. That’s when I decided to ditch leaf

 

[PanzerAzel]

You don’t need to withdraw any gold. It automatically takes money from your stash at vendors if you don’t have enough on you.

Nice, thanks!

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

to add to my above post, I went blizzard. It does the most damage and is amazing at farming very specific places

going to use offensive merc + static to take down cold immunes, or just skip them

 

[Warablo]

EDIT: Got a guy in pubs to help

No idea how I am gonna make it through hell, think A3 is gonna be a bitch. Going broke by dying and reviving merc every second. Maybe I need to work on a gold find barb haha

Do you still need this?

 

[Filth]

Do you still need this?

Yes please

 

[Macattk15]

Diablo 3 really spoiled me on loot quality.

 

[I_D]

Yes please

PM me your game name and I'll help you out.

I'm on PC, by the way. I don't think it matters with this version of the game, though.

 

[Methos#1975]

Anyway to change or zoom in the camera on the PS5 version playing the new version?

 

[phinious]

Made it through NM whew

I will try to get the runes for a spirit sword

So far I only have a leaf, lore and smoke runewords, the rest of my gear sucks

Fireball is still very viable, I can do 1k damage with it, but I keep chugging mana potions after a douzain casts, it's annoying

 

[Inviusx]

No, but you can change to 640x480 in the options menu which zooms it in a bit, kinda pointless though.

go for firewall man, it's cheap, and has the highest dps. Works well in pvp too.

 

[Warablo]

Firewall is a great backup element skill if you're going for another element, don't think you need very many points into it and just 1 point into fire mastery.

 

[Damigos]

Good thing I'll be a Zael with Fanaticism one then.

Good luck to immune to physical

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Don't you do council at Travincal before Mephy?

Oh I misread this

I do them sometimes but I usually skip them and go straight for mephisto

teleport past them and use moat trick to kill mephisto while taking no damage

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Any tips for Ancient Kaa The Soulless?

Halfway through he doesn't lose health anymore.

Anyone?

Different question. How do you handle immunities?

I'm using a lightning sorceress and i carry a bow with me for such instances. Is there a better way?

In d2 it’s completely fine and normal to skip mobs that aren’t quick to kill with your build

especially for sorceress

I’m blizzard sorc and I just teleport past immunes

other way is basically deck out your merc and use static

later you’ll get infinity rune word which can help

I’m sure there other rune words or items I’m missing that can help

 

[phinious]

Anyone have a decent bow for a lvl 60amazon? I got to hell and respecced into the strafe/multishot build which I saw on Icey-Veins, and now I do like 100 dmg per attack. I was doing 10k/6 seconds before with poison javalin. How is this spec allowed in the game! Someone please hook me up. It doesnt need to be anything amazing, but something that will let me atleast kill the mobs.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Just started Act 2 with the rat sewers.

Got no luck with skeleton archers. Got killed the only time time in Act 1 before the monastery with a mob of archers and a boss archer. Same thing happened right away in the sewers. A giant group of them shooting fast fire arrows, and a boss shooting cold arrows. Got destroyed.

Dont even think Merc Emilio even got a hit in. LOL. Chose a merc with Defiance perk.

 

[Fart Knight]

Still in Act1, going for a Zealot. Only finished the game as a barb back in the day not knowing wtf I was doing. Does anyone else play on Xbox with an LG oled because my TV keeps turning to 'prevent burn-in' mode which makes the game look even darker. I havent experienced this with any other game despite static images, shit is weird. I know I can turn it off manually.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

The stash in single player is completely messed up.

Came back today to play and pretty much all my runes are lost. This was the second time. Fuck!

I got one or two if you're on PC. Bows are kinda trash these days. Think a ice specced bowazon are alright. There's probably some easy to make runeword bows that could make do also.

Shit.

I keep reading the past bunch of days about server issues, getting de-leveled and missing gear.

Knock on wood, no issues so far on my end. I'm playing offline though. Although at first boot up of the game it still says something about connecting to Battle.net, so even offline SP has a connection I think.

Diablo 2: Lord of Error.

It is a known problem and i hope they fix this fast. Scared to keep playing.

 

[The_Mike]

Finally caved and got this for the Switch.

I'm pissed though - I guess there isn't a way to play the game without linking your Battle.net account. I tried doing that - I haven't signed into battle.net in a couple of years - and it's asking me for a copy of my photo ID. I'm not fucking giving blizzard a copy of my photo ID. And apparently, refunds aren't a thing for the Switch so I'm just fucked I paid $40 for a cutscene.

Fuck Blizzard.

Fuck Blizzard and their security so my account won't get stolen!

 

[Fools idol]

playing this has given me a burning urge to play baldurs gate 2 again. Something about games from this period man, they were special.

Imagine we got this and BG2 in the same year. 2000 was wild.

 

[Silent Viper]

OMG that series x special edition Diablo console looks so good :O

I posted about it warning people yesterday, hopefully it's fixed soon .

 

[azertydu91]

Alright I tried the game at a friend's house and it is not for me, even though I loved Diablo 3 but it was my first dip in the Diablo universe.So my question is do the people like it because they used to like it when it came out or are there new players that enjoys it too?
Because I really hate how the inventory is handled and how everything feels cumbersome and rigid especially compared to its 3rd opus.We were just at the beggining of the game but does it get better, like a bigger inventory or smoother gameplay?

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Already had it once by the time you posted. Don't know what to do. How can something like this slip through the BETA?

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Yea, happened to me 3x already, private stash is nearly full, sucks. PS5 version also has the weird "Vaseline effect" when moving around that was present in the BETA, hopefully Blizz sorts all this stuff out soon, loving the game, these blemishes hurt the experience.

 

[Tschumi]

I just played it for the first time since release, I got pretty deep into Act 2 in BETA so I was slightly burnt out, but yeah fucking loving having access to my old buddy the necromancer, glad they didn't put him behind a paywall like in d3...

yeah they definitely buffed the menus and i prefer offline mode because of zero lag, so in all this is better than the beta, but i still feel a bit silly for paying full price for an hd reskin.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Shstay a hwhile and lishen

Yeah i saw that the personal stash is unaffected but the shared one not. It also duplicated all of my gemstones once which was a bit of good thing that came out of this. Still 90% of my runes are lost. Let's hope for the best!

 

[xpresstuning]

The beginning was slow as i was expecting, but it grabbed me by Act II once i fine tuned some stuff. Yep, this will be my addiction for a few weeks at least.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Good luck to immune to physical

Got Vengeance skill(fire, cold, lightning dmg added to attacks) for those.

 

[Yoshichan]

ANOTHER DAY

ANOTHER 20+ HOURS

GOOD DAY SIR

 

[Denton]

Oh wow I did not expect to kill Duriel on first try. My Druid hasn't died yet. Either he is overpowered or the game is easier somehow than I remember.

Also, this game is digital crack just like it was 20 years ago, making me stay up until 4AM. That said, it is a low quality crack, there is very little added value beyond domapine rush.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

So can I play with someone on pc when I’m on PS5 ?

 

[J3nga]

So can I play with someone on pc when I’m on PS5 ?

No, Blizzard says fuck off to cross-play.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Mephisto down, I have yet to die to a boss. In fact, I've only died twice and both times were in Act 1 when I was still finding my footing. Time to go to Hell .

 

[Lanrutcon]

No, Blizzard says fuck off to cross-play.

Not Blizzard's decision: you can thank Sony. Their stance on cross-play is pretty well known at this point.

 

[DavidGzz]

You don’t need to withdraw any gold. It automatically takes money from your stash at vendors if you don’t have enough on you.

Not if it's in the shared stash which is where I was keeping mine to share with other characters. That was annoying in the beta. I'm on PC now so no issue cause I can use the keyboard.

 

[DavidGzz]

Have you toggled the graphics? It's much more than just HD. Plus it's $40 compared to some games at $70. It's a bargain for how many hours I'm going to get out of it.

... *screws up face* okay ya got me, I was generalizing a bit, I do accept that it's more than an HD boost, that it's a meticulous rebuild, I just have a feeling that yes besides this reskin very little has been changed. And I know that this is what we wanted, but I would have enjoyed little changes like an auto-sort function in inventories, and such.

I do love this game, I have loved it for decades, I'm glad I own it. But yeah, there is the aforementioned feeling.

 

[Jooxed]

I have never played Diablo 2. But I moderately enjoyed Diablo III. Should I play this?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

As long as you are cool with it not being nearly as streamlined and smooth in its control and UI I would say yes. It has a far superior atmosphere and immersive quality.

Yep, I wish keyboard and mouse got an action bar and auto sort like controller gets. I'm open for them to add more quality of life options and more items down the road, for sure.
