A few beginner's questions

Yes, just move it all into there and that’s done.

I mean I don’t use mods or hacks or stuff. I play game as there are when I buy them.
20h is normal for a beginner, I think my first char took like 70h to get to level 100 because I had no clue where quests etc was located.

right, as out of the box is also an idiom meaning unconventionally or something like this…I misunderstood you, forgive me, not English native speaker but learning still :wink:

Btw, I hate hacks. Mods - only the storage. Now, I have few toons from back when I played but I removed them from save directory as I noticed I had few good purple staff in there but … this is a big but for me…these game are for me all about grinding, looting, getting the thrill when I get a good drop etc, so since I will be several toons now I decided just to keep all the plans / recipies that I had learned back in the day and all the rest is SSF :slight_smile: this is fun!

cheers!

Hi guys,

Are there any general rules as to what items to keep and how to set the filter?

I am sstill on Veteran, loot filter set to show from greens up and still I feel there is ao much of this staff…so many greens and blues and I have no idea what’s good and what not except for my toon, physical FW.

I tend to keep mine on Green+, mostly just to sell the majority. Greens are good iron.

As for what to keep/use:

  • Items that improve the armor over whatever is currently slotted in
  • …and improve your resists
  • …and improve your primary damage types
  • …and come with + skills attached (for your chosen masteries)
  • …and come with extra skills or proc skills

Hi guys,

taking a look at Arcanist I noticed : Olexra + Absolute zero for a huge 40% physical res reduction.

How does it perform on Bosses, the phys reducyion? and the freeze / slow?

cheers!

It does not work against anything that can not be frozen, e.g. bosses - those monsters that you wanna apply RR to. OFF is a noob trap

Gosh, thank you mate! Well, it did look too good to be true :slight_smile:

So in order to apply 40% phys reduction a mob must be frozen in first place? damn it, what a waste!

There are a lot of tanky champions, which can be frozen, and where I would consider to use OFF. Also various boss fights include minions, so you can still benefit of CC skills. And if you do not know GD in and out, you benefit of CC skills when dealing with the large variety of enemies.

Likewise for Blade Trap, which is frowned upon, too.

duly noted, thank you! still learning the game and really like it, the physical forcewave kick ass :smiley:

But what are one gonna do when one “figure out the game”? Make a new build without arcanist? Just waste of time, rather learn to play with out CC’ing mobs is better in the long run. Warlord has Judgment as CC, and Death Knight has spectral wrath (for CC’ing minions).

Hi guys!

I just (thought) I finished all Veteran (vanilla + dlcs) and noticed I missed 5 shrines - already identified, will have to find them and finally jump to Elite. at clvl 67…noob me.

In elite / ultimate there are some extra shrines - so is it enough I just find them in grim tools and go just there?

BTW, thank you for the tips! I am having really good time with physical forcewave, good thing is…not very intellectually demanding :wink:

there many many devotion shrines in elite. I usually just get like 30 or so in normal because some of them are a pain in the ass to get to.

There are 157 shrines across all difficulties so plenty to choose from. With FG most are in Ultimate difficulty, then Elite with fewest in Normal. Even so you’re still talking 47 on Normal so can easily get max devotion points by mid-Elite.

and when you get 55, you can still do some more (the ones that are close to a quest and are desecrated) for some extra loot

hmmm, so in Normal I missed 5 (I am at 42/55) the 5 I am missing are a little problematic to reach so I can just finally jump into Elite and revisit the shrines I already restored in Normal?

So I can get the same shrine in all 3 difficulties for 3 devotion points?

yes you can. Some shrines are difficulty specific, you can see that in grim tools too

Ultimate only shrine:

that’s perfect! thank you!

I just saw in grim tools how painfully long it might be to get to some :wink:

Jumping into Elite!
