I've gotten sick of the game at atlasing again, I really just don't like the design of the atlas or the shaper/elder influence mechanic when it's already tedious to get the maps you want. It feels like they design the game for the top 5% of the players, but those are probably their whales so. But I want to do the content, not trade or grind lower tier maps to get what I want to do next.


I hope delve goes permanent and they remove the need to leave the to map for sulphate.

ok casual playing like 1-2h/day is not really satisfying
but this means you have a life
whatever

Hello,

I was trying out your build but decided to go non-crit with Elemental Overload.

If you could please let me know your thoughts on my tree.

Also, can you let me know what your DPS is in your HO? with no charges... Just Hatred if you are running it?



Thanks,

I have more time than that - I just hit a wall where the game isn't fun trying to find or trade for maps. And so I move on to other games. In the end I'll probably just move to standard if they decouple delves from maps. That way I can actually see the content since the atlas was mostly cleared on other chars and there's no time pressure.

But I do think the population decrease wouldn't be as steep if progression didn't slow down so much for casuals. There's got to be a happy medium.

I'm basically waiting for a game somewhere between D2 and POE with the smooth/rewarding combat of D3.

This is the weapon I am using:


Does "Increased cast speed" benefit me or my totems?
Does "Chance to poison on hit" trigger for the GC cast by the totems?

Also, the guide mentions "%Physical as Extra Fire Damage" on Abyss Jewels, but the affix actually reads "%Physical damage as Extra Fire Damage if you've dealt a critical strike recently". I'm under the impression that I don't deal critical strikes, my totems do. So, how am I supposed to benefit from this stat?

The cast speed benefits your character but the totems use your characters cast speed modifier, so this will benefit you both.

With Ancestral Bond you cant deal damage directly. You can however still hit and crit with skills, just no damage. This is enough to trigger the "%Physical damage as Extra Fire Damage if you've dealt a critical strike recently" effect and thus more totem damage.

I'm not sure about the poison on hit modifier.

Just look at this disgusting weapon:

nothing wrong about it, you can't craft anything better

For Abyss Jewels...

The guide lists %Physical as Extra Fire Damage if you've crit recently as a stat to look for... but this won't actually ever be triggered for this build, right?

The totems are critting, not the player, so it actually provides no value.
