Just want to get some general discussion going :D

As for me, I’ve played a necrotic spell Warlock, seems bonkers strong, even though I barely have good equipment.

Also, I’ve finally y managed to get into a faction, the Circle of Fortune. Seems very nice so far.

    I finally got some solid playtime in tonight. Seems like they are making progress on stability. Anyways I’m playing a torment necrotic dot cthonic fissure warlock and it’s been insane leveling. Currently level 47 . One click and just keep running and everything dies to dots behind me. Really loving it so far and excited to get into the new faction stuff

    Started a birb build yesterday, but for some reason, really early game seemed harder than last patch. Only played a bit though due to the initial server fires. Really liking acid flask as a trap though.

      Sounds awesome! I want to wait with the Birb until I get a certain unique for a build I had in mind.

      As for your difficult early-game: I think they slightly increased enemies health and damage with this patch. But imo rogue has the weakest early game, coupled with not shards/uniques from other characters, the beginning can actually feel challenging!

    I’m doing a Forge Guard Summoner. The Forged Weapons and Manifest Armor have been pretty solid so far.

    I don’t have a current build guide to follow but thankfully the game is easy enough to decipher with plenty of depth to explore.

    edit: A correction, it’s called Manifest Armor and not Molten Armor.

      I’ve tried FG with minions before but just couldn’t do it properly. Felt incredibly slow - but then again I generally don’t like minion builds. So maybe I should check out a fire dmg FG one day!

        I love minion builds especially if I can make any kind of lazy summoner build. I don’t need speed just to be able to chill with podcasts while playing.

          I mean, that’s fair. :)

          I could try them again, but with 1.0 adding many other enticing possibilities I would rather try other stuff.

          Good luck to you building that magic armour/weapon fantasy!

      My condolences. I’ve been playing offline, so I had (almost) jobs of those issues.

      But rest easy, with the runemaster you will be able to make up the lost time by zooming through the campaign in a heartbeat. And look cool while doing so :D

    I’ve been playing offline (and plan to - the ability to pause is helpful for me) and loving it. I played a decent amount in early access but mostly as a Primalist so I’m going Sentinel. Not sure if I want to go Paladin or Void Knight though.

    Played almost non-stop since launch. Despite the server issues I was having a really good time. I’ve now got 3 characters in end-game; just unlocked empowered monoliths with one and close to unlocking them with a second character. I started with a spellblade as my main, then created a warlock to play with my husband but she’s now my highest level character (level 86). A few days ago I created a falconer which I’m actually enjoying the most out of the 3 classes I tried.

    I joined CoF and really enjoy that faction. I initially decided to mix things up and join MG on my falconer but that quickly got boring because I didn’t really see any benefits while I was leveling and I personally enjoy lots and lots of loot so I think CoF is better for me.

    Although I’ve been using loot filters since the start I found that my stash tabs tend to be full a lot. So I had to spend quite some time at the weekend reorganising my tabs and selling or shattering loot that I wouldn’t be using on the characters I’m playing at the moment.

    Usually I get bored around endgame because ARPGs of course tend to be grindy and it sometimes takes quite a while to get the loot you want. But with the crafting system I’m actually finding this a lot less boring than in other ARPGs. It feels more rewarding even if I don’t have the ‘perfect’ gear yet.

      Marksman was also one of my first - watch out for unique bows, they all are generally really good for certain builds and playstyles, especially DoT and elemental builds :)
