Need a spoiler on that boss. ^. 
Anyway, I can't get over this game. So good for me. The Rogue is just too cool, especially now that I have most slots with uniques. The synergies are great. He'd make a great hardcore character right now. I heal for 13 life per character around me per second, I do splash dmg around me when I activate an imbuement, I spawn a Dark Shroud shadow when I crit enemies, and I have another unique that causes an explosion around me for dmg when I lose a Dark Shroud orb, so good. Another unique has a 10% chance to cause an arrow rain on enemies when I use any marksman skill. That's not even everything. At least 3 of my armor pieces also give me a lot of dmg reduction from close enemies. *Chefs kiss*

He killed me about 5 times this evening before I gave up

Got several best in slot gear. Sacred legendaries on my Druid. Got the body to leave me perma werewolf. Got the wolves become were wolves.
Also found the pulverize is a tsunami wave on ground and the head piece that starts with V for a sacred legendary best in slot for pulverize build.
Saved it all but man I didn’t realize how reliant on those specific gears the pulverize build was. Felt miserable when I specked to it so I swapped to shred werewolf right after. That build is killer from the jump on world tier 3. Gear just makes it better.

Haha, idk if you're being funny but I meant I didn't know he was in the game so you spoiled him. No biggie since Blizzard spoiled Andariel, I should have guessed he was in as well.

Sorry about that has been a long day and thought you were offering a spoiler on making him easier
I removed his name sorry I spoiled that wasn’t thinking

Go talk to the spirit animals once you’ve maxed out all of them. You can form a pact with one. Allowing you to then take 2 boons from that one’s tree instead of just one.Am I doing something wrong with the spirit boons? It says "Current Bond: NONE"
Also, here is my druid

Nope, I am level 40 but taking the game super slow so I haven't seen many main bosses yet. I'm happy he is tough though, he was killer in D2 as well!

Weird bug with the Nostrova stronghold, I've cleared it 2x, both times logging back in it reset it though it shows 1/3 strongholds cleared on the Fractured Peaks progress bar, anyone experience similar?
Sorc at level 33, still on Act 1. I've got a legendary Helm, Ring and Amulet, still waiting for a shiny new weapon to drop. I put Hydra into my enchantment slot, having a 5 headed hydra pop up for every 300 mana spent means I'm pretty much melting things all the time, 4 headed hydra at high health so I've got 9 hydras spitting fire, two blizzard casts freezing/damaging, Incinerate, ice armor and call my giant flame serpent when things get crazy, it's been smooth sailing, been playing on World Tier 2 from the start.

Having an hard time with pulverize since yeah, it's really gear dependant. I've got all the imbues for pulverize but I should look into werewolf. Any good guide?
I got to t3 and finished the cathedral, no way I can handle t3 though

Finally got my horse!
Only one more sleep and 19 hours of total time until me and the hordes of “poors” crash the server gates!
Avoiding all non-act 1 and all story spoilers pretty successfully so far.
One more night of boning up on the systems and mechanics before things finally get real.
It will be nice to not feel like I need to cram the hours in because the game won’t be taken away in a couple of days. Prettay likely I’ll be doing that anyway though.

Played the whole weekend and made it to lvl46 with my rogue. I just started act 3. Graphics are insane and the more I explore the world, the more I fall in love with the design.
Now I'm sitting at work and all I can think of is "when can I go back and what am I going to do first".
I uncovered like 40% of the map, but I only properly explored a fraction of that. I have tons of mini dungeons and strongholds left to do. So much to do and see in this game, it's insane. Grind for affixes, level up your gems, transmog your outfit, power ginding for exp, trying out different skill combinations, trying out a whole new fucking class, talking to each nps in the world, zoom in and enjoy all the little graphical details. It's insance. I was about to pick up FF16 at launch but given how deep and content rich diablo 4 is, I might want to reconsider. I don't have time for 2 games of that depth.

Lighting in this game is broken. Character shadow is always behind your character no matter which direction it's facing. Your character also emits light as if it's wearing a headlamp, which casts the same style broken shadows on everything else. Disabling dynamic shadows "fixes" it but the game ends up looking pretty flat. No clue how the game shipped like that, especially after three betas.
I also seem to get bored of the game pretty quickly. Not sure why. Remember Diablo III and Immortal being a lot more fun when they released.

I don’t see a lot of talk about lightning damage for the Druid and at level 21 it’s been one of the best skills for the character. Having gear that boost my base stats also helps deal more elemental damage. Some of the builds I see online are kinda garbage compared to what I actually utilize effectively.

They've really made Sanctuary feel like a huge sinister living world, amazing... I keep getting this annoying thing where I hit something with my left mouse button then click to move elsewhere with the left mouse button but my character still attacks instead of moves. This keeps happening A LOT with bigger bosses and causing me to get fucked.

I see Blizzard is already nerfing things even before "official" launch. Which isn't really true anymore, it's obvious that launch was Thursday, people who didn't want to pay extra just get to wait an extra 4 days. Clever way of making the game cost $90/$100 instead of $70 but annoying for people who are watching nerfs coming in even before they got to play.
nikos

This is the way I usually approach games with this pricing model:
If I'm going to pay $70 for the game + $10 for the battle pass, I might as well pay an extra $10 and get early access + extras. At that point, I might as well pay another $10 to get whatever bonuses on top of that.
They price it perfectly for a lot of people to say "screw it" and buy the ultimate edition.

Hmm, I play rogue as well. I'm having a blast though. Maybe try a different class?

To me the graphics are state of the art. The game just looks wonderful.I'm loving these built-in views Blizzard has put in for screenshots...

it's alright for blasting through demons when chilling. Got it on PC for the portability. Runs nicely on the deck.

Oh shit I might have fucked it up on my end. Completing the dungeon makes it not work anymore (or perhaps Blizzard hotfixed it?).
Here's what you do - go to Maugan's Works dungeon in Hawezar. Enjoy the surprise lol.

Confirmed - it was hotfixed about an hour ago.

They've done a good job on the story telling delivery. D3 I was just running in and killing all the bad guys. This one I'm at least now slowing down for the story.

Nah it has predatory pay to win MTX in a $100 game and you’ll literally destroy the industry if you buy it. /s

I recommend a controller but if you don't want to use one, try to bind force move to a key and use that to move and you won't have that issue.

It takes much longer in D2, the world record for diablo 2 is around 7 days for a season character, current record in D4 is around 3 days

But you don't have paragon levels in Diablo 2. Grinding paragon levels is fun.
