The Season 4 seasonal mechanic is a very simple one: grind Iron Wolf reputation in Helltides. There’s nothing fancy about it and it’s similar to the Vampire one except that the Vampire zones had the Blood Pacts and powers to compliment the season. But the real kicker for the Iron Wolf reputation grind is the…

This probably has been my personal most anticipated version of the Diablo 4 release since launch. The loot aspect effectively almost reworks enough of the core game mechanics where it almost would feel like a new game. And with all the meta builds being tossed into the air due to the rework, it wouldn’t be…

While there is a lot of excitement building for the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 4, I want to add a healthy dose of skepticism into the mix as I think there will be a fair amount of problems, mostly in the Pit and Uber Uber bosses as well as Diablo 4’s main issue in the…

Patch notes for Season 4 went up yesterday. I didn’t go through every single note but I did examine the nerfs and some changes. I do have some comments on a few of the key changes but also have other thoughts after digesting what I experienced on the PTR. So let me go through a…

With the XP blessing bonus, I decided to create a new Sorcerer since I had a good chunk of gear for what’s been called the Meatball build. This build combines two related builds with Fireball and Meteor together. I’ve heard good things about this build since it helps some of the weaknesses from the two…

But for classes like the Necromancer, Druid and Sorcerer, you’re often hitting a limit on how many open Aspects you can work with and in…

The developers from Diablo 4 had a campfire chat on Wednesday that appears to have mostly been a success in terms of general sentiment (for the moment). Season 4 along with the base game will introduce major changes to itemization, Aspects and other core features of the game, some of which I might have already…

I managed to get some time and decided to invest it into Diablo 4 just because I still have a few projects left to complete in this game for Season 3. The big thing I ended up doing is changing my Necromancer from Minions to Blood Surge. Almost immediately, I felt a difference even with…

I decided to continue playing. With work being a little rough lately, I figured on avoiding any major expenses. Or any excessive expenses which includes games. So Last Epoch is off the radar until things stabilize in my life. Also, I wanted to see the Season 3 out and had a few key projects that…

I cringed in depression upon seeing how quickly the Gauntlet feature went up and immediately got panned by top Diablo 4 streamers and their communities alike. Virtually, all the major content creators went back to Last Epoch unsurprisingly (which is where I should be but that’s a different conversation) or didn’t bother giving the Gauntlet…
