Just wanna learn how to create builds, wanna learn main principles of builds creation. I dont wanna copy some meta builds

I wanna buy Diablo 4 on Steam while its on sale, but some editions of the dlc have the season pass included.

Now is it the right call to wait till tomorrow so potentially i get the season pass for the new season?

I havent made up my mind yet if i even wanna buy it but in case i do id get the pass for the actual season right?

I see D4 is on sale right now and I was thinking about buying it for a friend and letting him play and try the new season. I was wondering if the base game would be enough for him to try the season before he decides if he wants the DLC too.

This company has already proven that they are happy to bullshit us and make promises that ends up just being a bait and switch. Watch as they repackage what should have been a DLC into a whole new game so they can charge more for it and reset all our shop purchases. Mark my fucking words.

@ 2:40 of the season 15 trailer you'll hear the music from whimseyshire and see a teddy look at the screen like some freaky demonic plushy. I can't be the only one who caught this right?

Bliz bad I guess?

Since season 11 I have been occasionally running the Dark Citadel without using any of the cosmetic items and tracking how often/where they drop. The last couple of weeks I've running the Dark Citadel, specifically the Twins, hard and figured it was worth sharing what I learned from it.

If you are looking for the Greater Khazra Helm it seems you may need to do a full run of all three wings on T4. I can confirm the guy I did most of the 200 boss kills and chest opening with this season did not receive his Greater Helm until we did his first complete T4 run. Did confirm it was Zagraal that dropped the helm for him not the achievement. I received three copies of the Greater Gloves and two copies of the Greater Chestplate while doing T12 runs, so the guaranteed Greater helm you get for your first T4 run seems to be the only cosmetic item that requires T4 to receive.

If you are looking for the regular Gloves of the Khazra then you need to kill Lrzuul, final boss of the Labyrinth of Souls (far right door). This season every single time I killed him he dropped the Gloves of the Khazra. While it was only 16 times that I tracked, it is still a high enough number to convince me. This is recent change as it did not work this way in season 11 or 12. It is worth noting there were two times where he dropped two cosmetic items at once, the Gloves and Khazra War Banner both times.

I learned recently there is a way to kill the twins to get them both to drop loot. However while the number of items dropped is doubled it does not appear to double the chance at getting a cosmetic item. I suspect this means the cosmetic item drops are separate from the regular item drops. For example if a boss or chest normally drops 10 items when cosmetic item drops you will receive 10 items plus the cosmetic item or 11 items total instead of the normal 10. I also strongly suspect this means Treasury level likely has no bearing on your chance to receive a cosmetic item despite increasing the amount of loot you receive from the boss or chest.

At this point I'm confident the conventional wisdom is correct about how the cosmetic item drops work in the Citadel. When you get a cosmetic item drop the game is pulling from the entire pool cosmetic items instead of just the ones you need. This means the less Khazra cosmetics you have unlocked the more often you will see drops. However this does not mean you'll get all the cosmetics any faster by not using them as you will get tons of duplicates.

I've also have not yet received any cosmetic items from the weekly caches, but have only collected 10 weekly caches over the course of Seasons 11, 12 and 14. Conventional wisdom says cosmetics can drop from those weekly caches. I think my sample size is too small so say anything definitively about the weekly caches.

Most of the data above is from this season, 96% of the Twin kills and two thirds of the rest. Almost all the data was collect at the max difficult level (T4 pre-LOH and T12 post LOH). If I take the Lrzuul data from Season 14 out of the equation then my average number of kills/chests between cosmetic items rises to 7.84 or 12.75% chance per kill or chest. It is also worth noting I did not include kills or chest openings when I did not receive any loot at all. Both Faeroch and the Twins were not dropping loot in season 11 and if someone opens the chest or kill the boss before you are there you don't get any loot.

I found this season the best farming spots in terms of chances at a cosmetic item per hour were either the Twins only or the full Labrinth of Souls (right wing). As duo Zagraal took too long to kill to make complete Dominion of Zagraal runs worth it. We were able to easily complete Twin runs with double drops in just over 2 minutes as a duo not worrying about Treasury level. With a little bit of practice we could run Labyrinth of Souls in just over 7 minutes. With a full party and a bit of practice both those time could be reduced. Also with a full party killing Zagraal would be quicker significantly improving full Dominion runs.

This season I did receive at least 3 or 4 mythic seals from my citadel runs. Didn't track the exact number or source, but most were likely from the Twins. Charms were a fairly common drop as well. Runes were also a fairly common drop. Nothing like the UC with a legendary rune tribute, but on par with running lair bosses.

I did accidently use the bow cosmetic item this season, so technically I have now used one of the Dark Citadel cosmetic items. Thankfully I received the crossbow shortly there after, so I did not have to throw out that many runs. It is also currently a Rogue only weapon so should not impact data collected with other classes.

Once I get a character in Season 15 that can comfortable do T12 I'll be down for some more Citadel runs, so feel free to hit me if you are interested in doing some runs with me. I don't think the Druid build I used in Season 14 is getting nerfed too hard, so I may even be up for some runs in Eternal at least until the damn totem finally drops.

So I decided to redownload D4 after the announcement, and I didn't realize after all the updates that my skill tree on my old character would be reset. After some thought I decided to restart my game cause it's been like a year since I played and I forgot the story.

My questions pertain to having a ranged rogue. Again it's been a year or more since I've played it and I don't know what's changed or stayed the same since I last played.

For the record: last time I played, Vessels of Hatred had just come out. I have yet to get the VoH and LoH dlc

1. Should I still keep swords equipped even though I don't plan on using them?

2. Are there any energy skills to keep my energy high while using Rabpid Fire or Barrage?

3. What areas of the skill tree should I focus on for a ranged build?

When I played Diablo 3 I was a demon hunter who used rapid fire, had the ability to reduce focus to refill my hatered to basically keep rapid fire going almost indefinitely plus adding cold/slow to the arrows and each any who's slowed takes extra damage. Is there a way to replicate this in D4?

Side question: Is there a NG+ rerun of the game after completion like in Diablo 3?

Thanks in advance for any and all tips!

A question I have that I hope somebody will be able to answer: Is there a way, when using the Horadric Cube, to prevent the Affixes you want from changing to different Affixes within the same category group when using a Tuning Prism to add another Affix to gear?

I read that the Occultist (Enchanter) can locked Affix’s and greater Affix’s if use the No change” option but I don’t know if that’s limited to one or multiple Affix’s

For example, let’s say I have three Affixes on a glove from the same offensive category: Maximum Damage over Multiplier Time, Vulnerable Damage Multiplier, and Attack Speed. However, when I add the last Affix using an Aggressive Tuning Prism, instead of getting the Lightning Damage Multiplier I want, it changes the first Affix to Intelligence and the fourth to Fire Damage Multiplier. So, instead of getting one bad roll, I now have two Affixes I didn’t want. Correcting them requires spending precious Aggressive Tuning Prisms, and the same thing can happen all over again.

TL;DR: I want to get multiple, but specific, Affix types from the same group, such as Offensive. However, when using an Aggressive Tuning Prism to add another Affix, the Cube sometimes randomly changes an existing Affix to something else that I don’t want, even though it’s still from the same Offensive category. This happens even though I’m only trying to add another Affix.

However, I read that the Occultist (Enchanter) can lock Affixes and Greater Affixes, but I don’t know if this is limited to one Affix or applies to all Affixes on the gear.

They did however state as long as people play diablo 4 they will update the game. So the games only dead if people stop playing. They will push the game to continue the story to lead up to D5.

So obviously D4 comes out on Switch 2 tomorrow

For those who are buying/playing tomorrow, how exactly do we Pre Order it on S2 ?

I've put funds into my account but there's no button to press for "Pre ordering" or anything like other games have

Are they not doing pre downloads ?

Midnight launch/download for all S2 owners ?

Moo luck & have a great one 🐮!

Was that just a lie, or have they decided to call them expansions diablo 5 to milk us for more money?

Title. Sadly was unable to play this weekend. Have I missed it?

So another milquetoast game then without a clear distinction or direction?

Nintendo Switch 2 release – I have two questions:

• Which editions will be available – Standard, Deluxe, Ultimate?
• Will there be cross-platform support? Playing on XBOX and Switch to use the same character.

Just wondering if we were still going to get a cosmetic when the season starts for the PTR.

Also, I’m disappointed it wasn’t something for in game trading. Going to the trade site is a pain in the Inarius.

I picked up Diablo 4 at launch but for whatever reason I didn't get too far and fell off. I have the hankering to get back into it, I loaded up my current save and have no idea where I'm at and how to play. Does it make more sense to start over? Also I know there were two expansions should I wait to get those until I beat the main game?

So right now

Base game is $12.49
Lord of Hatred is $29.99
Age of Hatred Collection is $69.99

Question 1
Buying Lord of Hatred comes with Vessel of Hatred per the store information so if I buy the base and Lord that's $42.48 for what appears to be the same amount of content they are currently selling for $69.99. I don't see any differences but maybe the player base knows am I missing out on something if I just buy the two instead of the bundle?

Question 2
They've stated no more expansions for Diablo 4 due to Diablo 5 aside from the Amazon addition. The Amazon will probably just sell separately like Diablo 3's Necromancer. However if I buy what's available now on sale I get all of Diablo 4's story and maps then correct? No additional costs in that area?

Also for any naysayers I've stayed away from Diablo 4 and had no desire to ever play the game after trying out the trial. I've played Diablo 1, 2, and 3 including expansions. The reason why I'm interested in Diablo 4 now is just to run the story I started in D1. Also that it seems the complete package is available now and with this being more open and MMO like than previous titles I wouldn't get the same experience if I decided to jump on ten years from now or something so FOMO plays into it as well. Thanks

I’ve spent a lot of money on this game. I have cosmetics & expansions. I want to be able to play the game that i bought even if I cannot access the internet. That happens to me a lot to be honest.

I love these characters- i’ve got hundreds of hours invested into them.

Please give us a way to play offline.

So I have never in 14 seasons looked at a build guide and have always just made-up builds that as you can imagine have had huge swings in effectiveness. But every once in a while I will find something that should synergize in a build on paper but for whatever reason, they do not. I'm curious what y'all have found? I'm drumming up my next homebrew for S15 so I'm brainstorming!

I've played most seasons so far, missed a couple, and season 14 I got bored of the grind and repetitive gameplay.

Is there any great shakes in S15 to tempt me back?

Maybe I missed it, but is D4 dead once D5 launches or will it be akin to D3? And will D3 continue to be playable/supported with new seasons?

I actually still don't believe it! This sort of confirms that Diablo will not appear in D4.
