This game is beyond unbalanced.

1st character = necro
9 deaths half-way through A3 (normal)


2nd character = merc
20 deaths by start of A2 (CRUEL)


3rd character = sorc
29 deaths by start of A2 (normal).

I have to update this post.

I just have to.

My ego kicked in and I went into full blow rat mode and cheesed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al6Uz--D570) the f out of the mini-boss. Basically, walking around in circles while timing my 1-attack right after his.

This is THE definition of low skill.

I also did notice that dev's cheat players. When the boss is at around 30% HP his speed increased. He was able to keep up while turning around 360 in place and land the attacks. So... when you reach that point put a little distance and dodge roll if necessary.

That's 2 indirect players nerfs players get. The first one I just mentioned, and the second one has to do with animations being slower than your actual movement speed. This leads to awkward behaviors when not using "Attacks stop character's movement" where you are moonwalking all over the place.

🤣😂😂😂

ngl every decision I've made up to Act 1 cruel has been punished at every corner as a stormweaver. Basically stuck on wolf, have never experienced 'class fantasy', just low IQ gameplay since most skill gems are pretty mid from the beginning.

Sorc has seemed quite bad most builds I've found, only the widespread spark + flamewall seems any good, and still single target is lacking.

I get it's supposed to be a combo character but there's not really any combos except obvious square hole square peg stuff like "shoot through fire wall" or "cast near orb of storms". Maybe this class could have been like warrior, with slow mana hungry devastating spells, rather than some kind of ineffective combo spammer.

Scummy / low IQ builds out there.

The suggestions you get from GGG for spark are also trash.

Literally nobody is giving out "the tech".

... but it's quite simple.

The entire game is a twin-stick shooter and it's balanced around this thing:



Ignore the HP bar.

You care about the stagger bar and building it up as fast as possible.

Even with spark in A1.

Also, all the builds are the same. Ignore the trashy / scummy build trees, go for damage and only go for survivability if you absolutely must. In maps, swap to whatever is most optimal DMG/survival-wise.

----

So for spark in A1 you want:
unleash + electrocute + acceleration (if you can afford / have the currency)

Do that.

You will stagger enemies left and right... and the game is suddenly possible.


For bosses, you will need to cheese them. Stand close to bait their melee, do 360's on them so they are spinning in place, and time your attacks. It's a lil' bit like Dark Souls, but with a twin-stick shooter mentality.

What skills does it use? None of the fire skills seem that good together especially after CoI nerf, cold seems nerfed too with comet, haven't tried lightning tree at all. I was mapping well with fireblast + solar orb but I find it annoying to play.

actually just made a yt vid of someone saying that breach etc are not doable and I was full of $hit when I told him otherwise

Yeah but every post that complains about these issues with the game will have several moronic git gud posts. The campaign maps and from what I see on streams and hear in feedback are uninteresting peak D4 garbage.

Guys should we Tell him how "nice" the Warrior ist in early Game? xD
