Infinity takes an eternity.

Simple guide here

If you're bored of playing blazing scream and want to see even less of your screen try this build.

This is a pure hellfire occult build simply scaling along those two vectors. No demonology scaling at all, just using demonform to lower dominance cost to free-spam command valloch. We scale hellfire and general damage hard with abbadon set, moloch's flame, and generic uniques and then occult scaling with overpower through valloch scorching fragment and hemat's stone. Also valloch frag gives scaling effect size so thats nice, and totally not the thing I wanted to abuse.

Clears all t12, mephisto just fine.

______
Anyone playing blazing scream can easily swap to this build with scourge of duriel and hemat stone or moloch charm. We use a blazing scream shell build with enigma, leorics, SoJ, wendigo, temerity because it’s just generically the tankiest and most dps setup.

______
You can also directly swap in spine of tathemet and go for a hellfire hell fracture build. Identical build basically its just a little clunkier to play but equally hard to see. Check the guide above for paragon and skills, but it’s pretty straightforward, there arent alot of scaling vectors on this build.

Anyways have fun

I've leveled a handful of alts to get the seasonal quest maxed out over and over. I've farmed helltides with the meta tree for prime evil spawns. I've tried farming the capstone dungeons. During that time, I've probably a couple dozen splinters drop, but they're always hatred or destruction, never terror. Is there something I can do to get the splinter I actually need next?

I've exclusively died to things that I can't see.

I genuinely don't even know what I'm supposed to be avoiding. I can't see the ground because there are a hundred mobs and flashy effects going off in every direction, how am I supposed to know there's an instant death pool under my feet?

I remember finding those little bugs that shoot the stream of smaller bugs at you annoying, but these other mechanics are just nonsensical with that they add to the game. The falling sword, and the electrified obelisks, and the pools of fire, and the pools of lava, and the pools of electricity, and the pools of blood.

I will be having fun with my build, not a meta build but just a fun one I made, not walking through everything, but having fun clearing areas. Then as I get swarmed by another hundred brightly coloured glowing giants that fill the entire screen, doing nothing differently than what has allowed me to survive so far, paying attention and dodging and moving, suddenly I die, seemingly randomly. This is the only way I die. When the screen is filled with colours and lights and one of the regular cannon fodder mobs happens to have an instant death mechanic.

It's dumb, and it's not fun.

I'd be accepting of a skill-issue, but I don't even know what to dodge and when.

Devs really either need to reduce the number of mobs onscreen, reduce the effects that can happen at once, or remove the instant death stuff. It's legitimately is ruining the experience.

I was finally able to get Annihilus to drop after so many play sessions but was it worth it? If I make the switch, it seems like I would be losing out on a lot of damage and other things that compliment my swarm build as there is nothing that pushes the balzan charms.

How do you guys check if its useful?

This is forever burned into my head from when I first played the game as a kid (Diablo 2 I believe?) when my cousin showed it to me. Running around and hearing these little terds screaming it constantly. About 25 years ago now.. crazy to think about.
Was really hoping to come across them in one of these portals taking us back to the old games, a little disappointed they didn’t make it.

This is still good right? The best I've crafted

The statues on the Loh loading screen / by the Skovos docks. They are supposed to be Inarius and Lilith. Is the portrayal of Inarius, with a feminine chestplate, an Amazonian culture thing?

Lycander looks very different from Inarius so I wanted to ask.

You need an alt who can join T12 games, or switch to normal before you open your reputation caches, but that will probably give you worse loot.

When you get a splinter that you can't pick up, get someone to join your world. Make sure they don't return to their world when you leave the group. Leave game, switch to alt, re-join group, and pick up the splinter.

Might need more than 1 alt, depending. This definitely works in town, I have not tested it in a dungeon or open world.

Not sure how many people know about this, but I stumbled on it and had to share.

There’s a cow hanging out behind the church in Tristram. Walk up to it and interact. After a few pets it drops the Bovine Gloves.

Hey everyone!
I’m very new to the Diablo series, and Diablo 4 is my first game. I’ve put quite a few hours into the main story playing as a Necromancer, and I’ve been really enjoying it so far!

Now I’m getting the urge to try a different class and start a new character, but I’m not sure what the best move is.

Should I finish the main story with my Necromancer first, or is it worth starting a new character now and skipping the campaign?

As a new player, I’m also wondering if skipping the campaign means I’ll miss out on important things or if I can still enjoy the game and progress normally.
I’d love to hear what you guys recommend for someone experiencing Diablo for the first time. Any beginner tips would be appreciated too!

Thank you!

Good day everyone,

Wanted to know how I could achieve making the affixes that I need. I know I would need to enchant one skill to what I would need. Would I have to just hope t hat I can farm enough of them to be able to get what I feel are the perfect affixes for my gear? If anyone has any good getting the perfect affixes for your build utube videos, let me know. I watch a fair amount of them. But from specific players like: Mattias, Ryker, Cliptis, and etc. Thanks for reading!

I’ve been farming Splinters of Evil, and it’s driving me crazy trying to find where the Echoes are spawning.
I swear I used to be able to open my map whenever an Echo appeared and see exactly where it was spawning. Now, half the time, I get the notification, open my map, and can’t find anything.
I feel like I’ve missed a handful of Echoes simply because I have no idea where they’re spawning.
Did something change with how Echoes show up on the map, or am I missing something? Anyone else experiencing this?

I have ~3 very grindy tasks I could complete but is there any reason other than completionism to do it?

Related… I’ve been playing spiritborne. Is there another class that’s fun / satisfying to gear up as an alt? The only way I grind that much would be with a less spammy class.

Is there a trick to getting them to drop? I'm paragon 300 and haven't seen a single one this season. Last season they were dropping like confetti for me..

I wonder when Blizzard will bring back this skin bundle?

Not really sure what's happening here, or why... lol... But my merc just gives zeros fucks I guess 😂😂😂

Takes out anyone who is near me all the time... thoughts? lmao

be allowed to be able to craft more than 999 gem fragments at once ffs i got 50k skulls 26 k topaz and a whack of others this 999 is nuts.....Especially since yall gave us flawless horadrics bro its only right on ur end.....

What part of Mephisto’s lair needs to be enter to unlock the last location? Just got to T10 on HC and this should be the last location, but I’m for sure gonna get smoked when I go in there. Is it the first main room or after you get enveloped by darkness?

What are the odds: the exact same item quality increase on the exact same affixes. (Both unmodifiable -- have yet to roll a transfig otherwise.) What's the opposite of twinning?

In all seriousness, I don't even really know why I'm still chasing tranfigs -- something to do, I guess -- it seems like I'm more-or-less at the DPS softcap on my build (homebrew spiritborn basic attacks with thrash DoT lightning ticks as the primary source of damage, 239 paragon, torch acquired, season journey complete, 120 pit) so I'm mostly just running bosses and trying to figure out what kills them just ~that~ much faster.

Trying to think what could really add a damage lever here for my class/build -- is gem strength really the ultimate transfig to chase, or is item strength + multiple modifiable rolls (excluding indestructable or whatever change to your affixes you don't want) what most people are looking for/would be happy with?

I have heard conflicting things about using the Horadric's cube to transmute 3 crafted AMUs to remove the crafted tag. For the first time I have enough resplendent sparks to do this. But, as you can see, I have a number of really great rolls on my Herald's Morningstar. I am a bit worried about losing critical strike chance and the other bonuses.

I would like to hear from people who have done this.

1. Can someone confirm that this works?

2. I am assuming that aside from weapon damage and blessed hammer ranks, all the rolls are random.
