I loved playing D4 with all my guys, hopping in and out together, it finally got me to really appreciate ARPGs after bouncing off D3 and grim dawn in the past.
Buuuuut, level scaling mobs and utterly boring resource management got me in the end ‘uhhh neeed MOOORE spppiirit says the Druid’.
So I moved onto PoE and now I am exiled for good 🤣
-
Agreed about level scaling, the game balance is whack. I've gone back to playing PD2, it's so much more enjoyable and fast-paced.
-
Yeah, I get real tired of minions being so tanky...and the elite mobs, just ugh. Either have them do massive damage and require dodging, and let us do equal good damage...just not what they are now (massive boring tanks).

I wanted to get into PoE, but seeing how endgame builds play really soured it for me. Playing through the story using a variety of skills and dodging the attacks in the chaotic boss fights was a lot of fun, then I learned that an optimal build spams one skill and kills bosses before they do anything, and if you're not clearing that fast, you won't be making any meaningful progress because drop rates are tuned around the assumption that you are.

Actually in poe you have a much higher chance of getting GG gear. Much higher than Diablo.
There’s so many things you can do to target farm, and everything you do gives you more currency so you’re never wasting your time, even if you are slower than someone else.
In Diablo there’s just no chance you’re getting a shaco. And you can easily play 10 hours and get nothing except some gold which is useful for… refilling some stats?

I am really hoping for a bit more love in the resource department. My sorcerer feels so slow-paced. It's like cast a couple of times, wait for a mama recharge, rinse and repeat.
-
Yeah druid is exactly the same, it's just so boring to go from my palpatine style Witch in Poe, to a slow, asthmatic doofus in D4 lol
-
Stormclaw druid doesn't use resources. Been a game changer for me. Was pulverize and it was slowwwww. This thing is so much fun.

Meanwhile whirlwind barbarian basically not using resource generator skills

Have you checked out the builds on icyveins? The synergies on some of them, like the earthen bulwark build for example, are kinda crazy. Definitely more diversity than I would expect of a single ARPG class but then I got more into the game as I heard D4 going more MMO-like so that could just be me.
-
I have yeah, it that’s kind of the problem - it’s icyveins or bust unfortunately. I did go pulverize bear which made it better, but I had the same experience with d2r.
I guess I just hate limits, I like in poe….if I want my toon to do something specific (such as fast cast speed) I can spec into that and work on it. Where as Diablo….I might get 3 passive points 😄
Chalk and cheese though; D4 did good with getting the masses to enjoy a venerable entry into the genre.
