We need 50X amount of Essenes in the Campaign
|
Around Act 2, 3, the amount of items you need to keep with the power curve is kind of absurd. You need to upgrade the level of your gems, add sockets, improve armor, and craft gear, and you get ZILCH to work with.
There should be something in the middle of act 2, something like an infinite arena that lets you grind for mats. The problem is massive knowing how short Act 2 is, and how little time it gives you to get drops Last bumped on Sep 8, 2025, 8:58:34 PM

im in act 3 now and have like 15 regals. some essences are cool but most are quite useless and i rather use a regal orb thana guaranteed crit chance on my resolute technique build or +8 to a stat i dont need

Can say confidentially that ACT 1 at least is better then it was in 1.0. I aint re-rolling to try to get lucky, so I am done for this season. I aint going back to grind the same maps in act 2 to get a 0.001% chance to get a regal orb that will fail with 99% chance.
Increase the drops, or make crafting viable, I am done for now. |

" Really? I didn't use any Essences until I started mapping. I don't think you need them but not sure, if it's build specific. I'm running Huntress / Amazon with Primal Strike + LS and I seem fine with the usual drops |

Might just be my bad luck, going an entire act without a single item upgrade should not be a thing. Good games that are developed well, implement mechanics that mitigate luck by strategy or skill.
Adding sets would be immensely helpful as a middle ground solution. |

" no you dont need them, but getting a +life or +rarity essence is really nice | |
|
Tell me that after you played a chromancer or something that is not meta. Let me guess, you played Dead Eye?
|
|
" Guess again. Nice try. If you read my previous post, you will know before you react. I'm running melee/range Amazon but primarily melee with Primal Strikes and LS for poking. Again, read. |
|
" LS is still meta level compared to crap like c-c-combo casters lol. was it even nerfed? |

FWIW, i played campaign with little trouble, blind, for the first time on .3 release. No issues, few of the bosses facechecked me and made me improve my defenses. If you're getting bodied in the campaign, stop being too proud to change your build. Not all builds are good for leveling early. You dont need super strong 6 affix gear at all
