…the most innovative spec in any of the arpg games out there?
Regardless of what people say about the runes,or regardless if its good or bad,lots of thought has been put into creating it and i think other much bigger companies with far bigger budget, should take this example and improve their crappy games.
Its the reason why I picked up the game. I came across a video explaining this spec. This is thinking outside the box and making new innovative concepts. Another reason why D4 failed in my eyes. It is “safe”. I know, I went there.
I got bored second day of D4 release but i finally quit 20 days ago when i purchased Last Epoch. The only reason i continued to play D4 for that long is because i couldn’t refund nor chargeback. I leveled 3 chars to 100,geared all 3 of them to the point of killing lilith in 3 min and clearing NM 100 by oneshotting mobs and boss.
Last Epoch however, I have been playing it for 20 days,10-14 hours a day and i am still not bored.
D4 Zones were fun to explore for the first time, graphic is epic ,but man there’s nothing to do.I cba doing 20 same dungeons with same stupid tasks ‘‘kill 5 blisters,release 6 prisoners’’
I waited for game like D4 for a long long time and i hoped there’s going to be proper shield class . Turned out to be complete disappointment. Itemization 0 innovation , specializations are horrible , talent tree or rather talent twig was made in 2 minutes with 0 thought or effort put into it , so called 120 dungeons turned out to be actually 20 copy pasted dungeons…
No doubt D4 is going to get better few years from now,but at the moment its complete failure.
I regret buying it in the first place,but knowing me, Id still have that good graphic itch,and i would end up purchasing it anyway, even tho everyone says it sucks.I wouldn’t calm down until i played it for myself . In the end , its fine. I made the right choice with LE and i still have D4 if ever comes the day game becomes solid…
Losing money is never fun, but losing money AND spending 3 months doing something you hate is even worse.
Pro-tip, next time you buy something you don’t like, be it a game, a book or a new hat, swallow the loss, forget about it and go back to doing things you like. Your bank balance will remain exactly the same but you will spend more enjoyable days.
EHG have done well with the RM no question but dont forget Path of Exile alone allows you to resurrect around 100+ different unique monsters to use as minions as a Spectre, also allows any Spell linked to a Totem/Trap or Mine
So in terms of LE you could have a Meteor Totems or Resurrect Siege Golems to fight for you. Go look at Wardloop build in PoE your mind will be blown
In terms of RM, I played one now til 81 and got to Empowered on an Ignite build that doesnt use Invocations at all as I cant be bothered managing them. My build is Dominion/Frost Wall for clear and adding in Frost Claw for single target. I dont even like Mage but I really like RM doing indirect damage
Personally I feel EHG over-exerted themselves on this class and its going to be hit with multiple nerfs as expected but the real issue is the quality of life, all the RM new skills look great, feel great, cast faster, have better animations, do more damage even the passive tree is more relevant in more modern LE. Other classes simply dont have the quality now.
Plus theres way too many spells available making the Sorc/Spellblade kinda shit, RM gets everything. Massive area DoT application, Hit based auto turrets, big AoE on everything, lots of unconditional Ward generation, also looking at Flame Rush quickly you may possibly be able to have a seriously high uptime of being a Fireball with massive DR, havent ran the numbers yet
I don’t know if I’d call it innovative. To me, it’s like playing a DK in WoW – running through your DPS rotation and managing runes. Sure, it’s a little bit different, but once you’ve focused your gear and passives, the Invocation spell you’re going to line up will pretty much be the same. So it’s really not much different than being a resource generator – just generating runes instead of another resource. shrug It’s cute and novel, but I find it gets a little annoying after a while, unless that’s just your thing.
I hereby vow never to do that again. I promised myself I’d level at least one D4 char to 100. I simply could not do it. The game has nothing. Coming back here reminded my jjst how much better LE is. Compared to Last Epoch D4 is an absolute joke.
