Might be too late for eternal server characters (I need to check mine), but since season is coming up, save this quest till very late to get 2k HP on your amulet.

Just finished the campaign. 10/10 would recommend!

Feel free to add me if anyone wants to do a seasonal character together. Loving the necro army build

While nice, the amulet only has 3 stats if I remember correctly.

Correct. I mean it's not bad... but mine needed better rolls to replace when I'm wearing. Good to know for seasons though.

Dont forget to login starting after tomorrow's patch with your character with all the areas unlocked and lilith statues so it will transfer to your seasonal characters.

YES and all characters if some stuff is unlocked on some and not others etc. Also GET your statues found and map uncovered ASAP (fog of war) so you do not need to in seasons. Of course you must finish campaign to be able to skip in seasons.

I'm still like 50 statues short. That means that I would have to find the remaining with both the seasonal character and my current one? Don't think I'll get to play tonight…

I would think either character would do it. It sounds like it just carries across the account (outside of hardcore).

You have 2+ days until season hits. Tomorrow is just prepatch and first time we can start loading up stuff for season 1

Plus, that just loads them in. If you have 50 left at start of season, you can easily just collect them then as well. Its not an all or nothing transfer

Whatever character has the unlocks you have to login once.

If you did half on one character and half on another you need to login to both to unlock everything.

Apparently the patch notes are 6600 words. Absolute fail that someone couldn't squeeze in 60 more.

Should be coming at noon central time.

anyone have a suggestion for playing D4 one-handed? broken wrist. Was starting my final push for 100 and now, looks like I will be missing S1.

All you need is a mouse with 6-8 buttons, there are a lot of gaming mouses that you should be able to use. If you get one with 8-10 can probably bind Mount and potions and such.

Could probably make something like this work.

Devouring blaze nerfed big time. Why because screw you thats why. Sorecers still squishy and now weaker.

Thats a lot to digest.

Sorcs got BENT.

Oof. Crit dmg and vulnerable dmg builds got screwed. Flat dmg increases across the board. **** loaf of nerfs to survival stats and skills. Gonna be dieing a lot more in this season.

So what are people gonna play in S1 now?
Rogue, Druid, or Necro?

Barb and Sorc are dead for the time being.

Reddit is losing its mind, not exactly surprising. After my first skim, this does look like they wayyy overnerfed the game.

No idea. :/

They may have overnerfed it, but I think they had to do something major to crit and vuln because those were basically required in every build. Not gonna react either way until I see how it plays, but I'm hopeful this creates more viable builds.

Yeah this is the mindset I'm taking. I read it over and was like man, they definitely nerfed the game in general a lot more than I expected. And even as a crit/vulnerable ranged Rogue pre-S1, I'm good with seeing if this opens up the build diversity a bit. It seemed so mindless just hunting those specs constantly... Maybe I'll use a Windforce or Eaglehorn on that character whenever I resurrect it in the future.

Bone spear / corpse explosion might be the way to go.

I was planning on going Necro in S1, but was waiting on these patch notes to figure out what sort of build. Wasn't Bone Spear heavily dependent on Crit/Vuln or did I make that up in my head?

With vulnerability damage lowered 40 percent, definitely should be some other builds showing up soon.

This game is going end up like mythic plus on WoW where it gets really hard for most people to push beyond 20 keys and way hard to go past 30.l (at least based on the last time I played). And only certain classes and specs could do the super high keys as well.

I think Rogue.

Maxroll has an article up on key takeaways.

I think I'm going sorc. Lots of fun with ice shards build and chain lightning build while leveling a sorc the last few days. Easy to get to 40 plus. Can always reroll if endgame stuff gets too difficult.

Did yall notice a certain item got nerfed that was mentioned here a day or two ago?

Fixed an issue where the Maximum Life affix on the Mark of the Conclave quest item was scaling improperly.

Bleed builds for Barb may be viable.

Info on all the malignant hearts.
Below you'll find a full list of each Malignant Heart broken out by Class. For our example, the stats you see reflect what a Level 20 character would receive as a drop. As your Seasonal character grows in Level, so too will the power of the Malignant Hearts that drop for them. Unless specified, the Heart can be acquired by playing in any World Tier in the Seasonal Realm.
