I got up out of my chair, walked to the bathroom, looked deeply into the mirror, shook my head, and said out loud..."Man, just face it! You're too old for this shit!"

Do the pets ever get strong enough by taking minion passive nodes? I have respeced a few times but cannot get my witch to a good place, though I have not looked up any builds, either.

I tried going mostly minion but it was a sluggish trek, mainly due to them being constantly one-shot by every boss. That left me with pretty low dps until they revived and got a few hits in.

I noticed some good defensive nodes for the minions, which were out of my reach at the time, but do those help enough for them to do any kind of damage to the bosses?

Yes, they do. Minion hp scaling is quite high, it is not long before they have way more life than you do, and they have access to stuff like 'regenerate 3% max hp per second'.

They will always have the same problems that made WoW give them 90% aoe resist though - they can and will stand directly in boss one-shot mechanics and micromanaging them not to is a job for an APM-jacked sc2 pro, not for a casual gamer ;p

Anyone else trying to build around hexblast? I am confused at what’s going on, sometimes it feels great other times it’s weak as hell. Also if you are hexblast how are you handling defenses and are you trying to make the curse aoe massive or have some other strategy? My blasphemy radius is tiny even with a magnify gem which is the big issue for me right now, feels like almost face tanking to get it to trigger. Problem with getting that close tho is just getting my shit pushed in before I can get a spell off. Granted I don’t have the sockets for the es recharge on stun yet so that may help? Dunno just feels janky. Everything about this game’s felt janky other than my old cof comet pre nerf

If CoF didnt still delete bosses I'd agree with you I just dont understand gutting mapping for it.

Regardless I dont play it, survivability sucked on maps so i rerolled before the nerf even happened. I do this build (unlikely to get nerfed, its complicated enough as it is) but Melee Chronomancer is hysterical and blows everything up to T16. Mines iterated a little differently then this guide but it will get you going in the right direction.


Game has so many interesting options/interactions and its missing a ton of classes/ascendancies/weapons/skills still.

Im currently making a mana stacking warrior based on an idea I had. That 50% increased small passive node + his 15% increased maximum life + the mana cost to life cost nodes near warrior start and relative proximity to getting to the top of the tree.... I think its gonna be pretty good as MoM Archmage with Eternal Youth.

Nevermind. apparently you have to find him when he goes invisible.

Just started getting network spikes from <20MS to hundreds/thousands causing massive hitching. Only way to stop is through VPN. Weird that it decided to do this now <_<

You werent kidding, cleared through A2 in cruel and I think I'm basically at the end of it in around 3 hours......way quicker, but Count did take longer for some reason. Seems he was faster attacking or I'm just retarded because he froze me to death a few times. <--- the charm that supposedly breaks freeze didnt do shit either so whatever.

I'm getting a ridiculously annoying bug with maps. Some maps are COMPLETELY crashing as soon as you enter and it kicks you to the log on screen and results in losing your map 100% as you cannot enter it without dc'n. Extremely annoying and apparently a very common issue. It's happened to me 3x today.

Laid off maps on my Merc tonight. I hate to admit it, but I did chapter 1 in just under an hour w/ all side objectives completed as a Ranger. I could probably do it faster on a fresh Merc. End Game "maps" have basically made me strip away all the unnecessary lolly-gagging, exploring, and needless killing. So I guess.. if we HAVE to do the campaign over each season.. it wont be "that" bad. But man that feels like shit to admit.

Don't you have to do all the side shit that gives you permanent character bonuses though?

I have been dicking around with a ranger at the moment too. Honestly I will probably go back on my sorc when the dust settles a little but the respec cost really just pisses me off.
