I am a Mom playing with my 2 adult kids and Im explaining to them what to do, thanks to you, Rax!! You're an excellent teacher, which is a skillset not everyone has. Thank you so much!
Mythic Uniques are brutal for solo players. To stand a chance at obtaining them, you need to find a group and do a rotation. I wish Blizzard would make it so that people who play the game solo stand just as much chance as those in 4 player groups.
So nerf the benefit of grouping in a multi oplayer game? Its cool to have something to look forward to, game is pretty easy, i understand wanting the purple graphic but in reality, what does it matter?
If it cost less to summon bosses for solo players that would be a start. The void between group and solo is shocking. Also pit bosses over a certain level should have drops similar to tormented bosses
It's funny, one dropped every time for my first 2 uber kills. So I thought they were normal drops and salvaged them to create another. Then never saw one again since (think I've done about 40 more solo runs). Actually I don't think I've gotten anything decent from any of those runs, not even half decent greater affixes
You know out of all the d4 creators you are the first to actually explain everything easily. That earns a sub. I haven't played d4 since season 0. Thanks for the information
Commenting for solo players. I’ve pushed multiple characters to 100 since s0, can easily clear nm100, pit 80 or so, and depending on the season, can solo some uber bosses. I’ve yet to see one uber/mythic unique since launch. It makes sense that I should hop on discord and find a group, but it’s kinda insane that for a mostly solo player experience, I’ll never see the best armor in the game without crazy luck.
@@Boost400 please good sir share your secret, Since launch I've only got one uber unique, the second was forged becuse I leveled 4 characters to get enough material and I won't ever do that again.
@@corinabasurte1406 what I did was finished the campaign with 2 characters (2 sparks) kill one tormented boss and had one spark from killing lilith previous sessons. I saved up all the boss mats, crafted andariel for my rogue and started farming the bosses. With barely any farming I had like 30 or so tries and 4 mythics drops, my advice is not waste your mats early and only do tormented bosses. After i crafted my andariel i went from struggling on hordes 4 to easily doing level 7 for styg stones
Thats what i was talking with a friend, the D4 social System really sucks, lots of bugs, invites error, no community groups, etc. Will be a great upgrade if they fix that.
exactly! so many good times with random people, connecting on discord in D3. In d4 I never interacted with anyone random, and I can't even invite my friend cause of invite error ! gotta wait for PoE2 while playing this demo f2p D4 trash.
@@IronMeDen1 "social" is the part when me and my friend can't join eachother party due to 3 different error codes, or the part where Im unable to groupfind, or invite players outside my friendlist (from chat for example) xD
As someone new to the game, literally never played any Diablo just started this week, this has been really informative. Well done. Thanks for the video.
I love rax because the way he explain stuff. Its like you lack brain and he explain detail by detail even the tiny things, step by step, so you cant get lost😂
lmao, right? he covers it all, i'm sure at one point he use to be like that and now he gets ask all those questions on stream so he knows what to incorporate. Wisdom in his trade. aha
It's my first time playing Diablo 4 and I'm having such a great time, loved the campaign and played 2 or 3 days without helps or guides of the endgame but decided I needed a little help to understand exactly what I needed for mythics. You explain in a marvelous way that anyone can understand, the way you talk is really good and it helped me a lot, just got my first mythic with the help of some good people from the maxroll discord. Thanks a lot and keep doing some great videos :)
Raxx YOU ARE THE MAN DUDE THANK YOU FOR THESE GUIDES THEYRE SO DETAILS AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. blizzard really needs to see how much info they need to provide to players in this game.
A small side note: all mythic uniques have a level requirement of 35, so if you want to level a new character, every mythic unique will power you up to no end.
I haven't done a T6 but I have some can't recall if it was from the infernal hordes or from something else. I think that you get some from the reputation track and maybe from the season challenges.
@@andrew177100 Yeah, you get ~12 stygians from reputation caches (I believe 2 in one midway through and 10 or so in the final one), besides there is still a chance in the Pit of course, but Pit is still bugged (fragments are not dropping in NM, so you run out quickly and can't start new pits anymore). If someone can do 6 comfortably, that's 1-2 stones per run.
@@astroape25 I started getting runeshards to drop. No idea how. I didn’t play last season so I’m not sure how many you normally got, but I’m at least getting 3 per clear of NMD 100.
You're the best. I already knew pretty much everything you said but even though it seems like a simple topic you still add a lot to the conversation and really simplify the steps for people. You made a good point about farming the boss that has uniques you need the most, it's a good way to hopefully get those greater versions. I normally just farm Zir because he's so easy. Luckily he also has a unique I want so I was killing two birds with one stygian stone without really thinking about it.
Note: Also if you're leveling alt characters they do NOT get a spark for doing lilith, or tormented bosses; its only a one time thing, however they do get a spark from the reputation. If doing helltide also ensure to do any whisper's content within it as its two birds one stone, any boss mats your not using you could potentially sell and then buy the other mats you do use if you're target farming specific uniques. World Bosses can also drop stygian stones but focus on infernal hordes as it is the best place. As always Raxx great video!
There are only two phases to the game. The fun phase leading up to level 100, NM 100, Pit 100+ and getting the mythics you've been wanting. And then there's the hair-pulling mind-numbingly enraging phase of spending countless 100's of hours trying to get a single GA version of any of them. This 2nd phase lasts until the last black hole in the universe evaporates.
There is a chest in helltide that is labeled as living steel (super easy to get ). All of the boss mats are super easy to farm . I literally had a stash page full of mats before i even hit lvl 100. You can do it folks just gotta grind.
Rax with another helpful video for the newer/casual players. Keep it up man and thanks a ton for the Lilith kill and 2GA Fireball staff the other night! You da real MVP!
Love your content. So straight to the point, super clear, the video gets the length that it needs with no fillers. Not even losing time with "please subscribe and activate the notifications".
I’m so thankful for the information you share with us in clear way. My husband is a gamer and always points me to your guides. Typically I don’t play these types of games, it can be confusing with all the working parts. However I’m having a blast with D4.
It’s also important to mention that tormented beast in ice has been bugged since the launch of the season and only drops 1 pin cushion doll instead of 5 like he’s supposed to im really surprised no one has mentioned this yet
Yeah I only run the lvl 85 version of him so I can still farm andariel and get the most out of my mats. Sucks you get less chance at mythic uniques than you would if he dropped as many mats as he was supposed to but all we can do is play the game we have and report issues and hope blizzard fixes it 😢
what’s funnier is he’s also supposedly bugged and has the highest mythic drop rate in the game right now. from what i’ve seen he’s got a higher drop rate, higher dmg and he’s a glass cannon (dies quickly)
@@rking359 I’ve done about 100 tormented runs of beast in Ice he has the same drop rate as every other boss if anything I get far less mythics from him than I do from any of the others lol that shits all in your head it’s just rng
Thanks, Raxx, for this incredibly informative video. I haven't played since season 2, and when I came back, I was completely lost. I ended up googling everything and asking around on Discord. I wish this video had come out sooner, but I'm glad I watched it all the way through. Super helpful! 👍🏻
Hi Raxx. New to your channel and I think you do the best job thoroughly explaining every step to take and I appreciate that you take the time to explain all the D4 acronyms and do not assume all players here are advanced players. Thank you so much, I learned a lot from you!
I was in a group farming tormented bosses yesterday and am fireball sorc with melted heart and shako, I literally can face tank anything because as fireball I keep my resource at max and the enemy does dmg to my resource which is always at max. Melted heart is severely underrated and as soon as I left the group they begged me to come back later to tank for them. I don't even have Tyraels yet.
I’ll summarize for you casual players: 1) you have virtually no chance without a group which you need a 3rd party tool to find. 2) you have no chance of killing an uber boss with non Uber gear, so you will need someone to carry you, at least at first. 3) even if you have #1 and #2, you will need many many hours of grinding mats to get your mythics, far beyond what a casual player has time for.
Not strictly true. My bash barb can solo Uber Duriel in about 45 seconds, and I don't even use any mythics on my build. Only pain gorgers.ive farmed quite a few solo now.
Not true. I'm a solo arrow storm rogue and I haven't had any problems killing Ubers. Now getting what I need to drop is a different story but as a solo it's not impossible at all. Just takes persistence and understanding your build. Also I am a dad and have a full time job as an electrician so take it for what you want but it's very possible to do and very possible to get mystic uniques. 🤷🏽
Another great video man. I was just sitting here with my lv75 sorc going "man where the hell do I even start with mythics" and you answered every question I have in 20 min. You're awesome 🎉
Thank you VERY MUCH on this guide, im new to diablo and even with all the guides on maxroll, im SUPER HAPPY that you made this video very clear and stright to the point on what to do, how to farm, what to get, etc.. super appreciate it! wish more guides were like this to all of the "newest players" thanks alot!
I can kill any uber boss in seconds and I've lost count on how many I've killed this season, but it's not fewer than 50. I have yet to see an uber drop from them.
I've been group farming too, nothing yet and I've killed tormented Duriel and Andariel 30 times each. I have seen everyone else I play with get something but the hard RNG sucks. I'm done for another season. Farming malignant hearts is brutally slow.
I feel like blizzard should make a dungeon finder system and you can only apply for the dungeon if you have the required amount of items for the summons etc.
Depends on your char and depends on the boss. Beside raw survivability and DPS required, some bosses have more difficult core mechanics which you need to dodge (those mechanics are special attacks which give you a stacking debuff of more damage taken, where usually after 3-4 you will get 1-shot by most things boss does). Zir and Duriel seem to be the easiest in this department, with Beast and Andariel being the toughest, dishonorable mention going to Varshan and his stupid dance routine...
Bro I stopped playing july 2023 just started playing a year later with my girl and we have like 3 characters level 70+ the shit is soo fun I do t know why I stopped I could have like 5 level 100s
I looked through the chapters, this seems like it would be a Mythic level guide for someone less invested than myself that didn't already know this stuff. As always amazing work man.
5 chances at 1.5% each is still 1.5% if every chance is counted Independently than every roll is always 1.5%. You cant just add them bcs it creates gambler paradox and propability doesnt work like that
The better way to explain it is that you have a 98.5% chance of one not dropping every time. After five chances, your chances of not seeing one drop are 92.7% (0.985^5). OP’s statement is correct.
I returned to D4 recently and found this channel. Great explanations and very impressed how you explain everything, so now I got a clear route to play on. Thanks.
Not sure if the drop rate's been buffed in other areas but I found a Andy's visage in a 101 Pit and I was ecstatic! First one outside uber bosses which is insane. Hope they raise the droprate a bit for the overworld and nmds, infernal, etc. Awesome feeling.
I'd just like to point out, a good way to solve the problem of Infernal hordes VS Pits is that they need to put rune shards in infernal horde chests, and they need to put boss summoning mats in the pit. This will create a loop where you do infernal hordes to go to the pits and pits to get boss mats to summon uber bosses and repeat. It will give players a linear vision on how to play the end game and give the different content actual purpose.
I like that. And I was kind of feeling it ealier when I couldn't do IH5 and had to go to the Pit to Masterwork some equipment the slow way until I could get back to IH.
I find the power creep in this game incredibly frustrating. Im playing rogue and i find it very hard to push the items i can get to a point where i can kill tormented bosses. Most builds people use to farm for these items require these items. It just seems i always hit a wall that is just shy of being able to solo tormented bosses. Every build i look to to push past that damage wall needs one mythic that entire build is focused around. Im sure im doing things wrong but it feels very frustrating for us casuals since we dont know where we are not making up that difference.
@@theobell2002 .my solution this season is to level Alts. I got 3 sparks for my rogue already, right? You finish your first grind and kill Lilith (i asked the carry channel on the official Diablo discord for this) and got pushed through. Now I'm levelling a sorc, and I'm about 7 mothers gift caches from the 4th spark i need. Ill craft the Andys Visage and Im off to the races on my Rogue. This is absolutely not an ideal solution. And it totally sucks that i have to work around their system to make it work. While these games are very different i think the Division did loot drops and recalibration better. Targeted loot farming and slot specific activities as an example. I think they should drop mythics on normal bosses at a lower item level. Maybe like 600-750 or something. So we can use those items with poorer stats but have access to the skill modifiers and aspects they give to make the builds function the way we need to play them. If i could masterwork Andys Visage at item lvl 750 that would give me the poison novas i need for the build to work and it would get me over that wall while still limiting the multipliers and stats to a point where im not quite ready for Tier 8 hordes or +100 pit runs. You could very well find that balance.
@@theobell2002 I don't understand how you guys find this to be the case, especially considering you clearly watch content creators like Raxx here showcasing everything. Every class has multiple builds capable of killing tormented bosses without a single Mythic unique. You just need the regular uniques required to make the builds function, along with some time investment for leveling glyphs to 15 and getting tempred/masterworking to a basic level. I can't imagine you guys are following a Maxxroll guide, have the glyphs/tempers/masterworking and still cant kill any of the bosses.
Yes, I have very solid RF build, no mythics, can solo a few tormented bosses, but certainly all. And can’t quite finish T7 horde so tough to farm shards and other mats to even summon
I can't thank you enough for this vid! Helped me out so MUCH! Really appreciate the effort you go through explaining the mechanics of each season for those of us who are lost XP
Hello Rax, thx for all youre video. My question is: is there any possibility that mythic uniques are dropping in the open world at normal monsters ? greetings from germany
I got my first uber unique this season by leveling 3 characters and pumping the reputation, then got my Barb to a point where it could solo tormented Zir and got one from that. Crafted a Shako for my Sorc and now I can solo any uber boss I want. Now I just need to get lucky enough for Tyrael's and I'm set.
As a solo player with no desire to hop on discord, i finally broke down and went to a reputable trade site and bought the summoning materials for tormented duriel...farmed him enough to get 3 mythic plus having help killing lilith and getting another spark for killing a tormented boss...so im good to go for my andarial rogue.
Hi Raxx, I agree with 99% you said and still need to talk about 1%. I have a challenge for you - start a new character next season play only solo and when you get first mythic, talk about the guide again - and don’t forget that you play 8-12hours a day? So what guide is for an average player? There was one important sentence you said-you NEED to find a group. So the game forces a player to be in a party to have quadruple chance? And basically technically the game allows you to acquire the most powerful items in the game by just joining a group for free? Wow, the best game design ever-do you know any other game where you don’t need to do anything and still get the rarest and best items in the game? What I am trying to say is a tremendous gigachat gap between solo and group play especially 4man. You enter a group and boom - your reward can be quadrupled compared to solo play. This season, it took me 35 tormented bosses to kill to get my first mythic and trust me I am very efficient-killing beast within 5sec. My suggestion is very easy=would not hurt group but reward solo a bit more. 1. Achievement = after killing all tormented bosses solo for the first time you would get 200% boost to mythic unique drops when playing solo; and the second part of this would be-only after killing all of them solo you could party up for all tormented bosses-still would be much more efficient to play in a group 2. Achievement - after killing Lilith for the first time solo=you would need only half summoning materials for tormented bosses when playing solo I think this would bring solo a bit closer and would not force you to go find parties with random people and it would not be free compared to group, but locked behind achievements
Last night I was thinking how it would be nice if you made a boss farming guide...and here it is! I already spent all my S5 luck though. I got an Andarials on regular duriel the 2nd time I fought him.
now i have the courage to fight these bosses first time as in, since season 2 i think, thank for this i already farmed my earthbreaker ring, now hunting doombringer. THANKS Raxx Biw W!!
Raxx, as always, very great training content for all. And yes, yes, yes, being able to join a "public game" for bounties, rifts, etc. in D3 is so needed in D4 for NMD, and leveling. BTW, rolling I.F.8's on my very popular Andariels Rogue build. Thank you Maxroll.
d4 bad. how to get the best items step 1: jump through hoops to get materials b4 you can farm. step 2: completely brick finding mythic uniques after doing over 100 runs. step 3: realize how d4 bad and just uninstall.
Thx Raxx for the awesome tutorial. I agree D4 needs a dungeon finder system like wow's dungeon finder tab for mythic plus this would make gaming D4 so much better.
300 exquisite blood? So you ran Lord Zir 11 times? Or did you run Zir a bunch of times as the non-Tormented version? If option A, that's honestly not very many times at all. If option B, you're doing it wrong.
@@jedirayden i had collected a total of 300 bloods. I joined a rota group and killed the tormented version of zir. The loot system is really bad anything that requires "luck" 🤞 i call bullshit because streamers miraculously get all the drops within an hour of farming tormented version of bosses with GA and tempering them through max stats without bricking the item. I see a clear disadvantage in this system and it's quite bad.
I just got back into the game about a week ago after over a year away. I have tons of those summoning materials but don’t think I’m strong enough to do them solo. You’re right about the social aspect for the game. It’s non existent. 😭
It's hard to find info on this for casuals thanks for this video. It's all confusing especially for a hardcore player who doesn't want to jump into a death dungeon
It's cool as hell that you're helping people. We do need better social systems and the pet needs to pick up the speed. Clans need major overhaul/features.
I was having a hard time killing and farming bosses was so I looked up a quick and easy to understand guide to farming mythics and I came across this video so I’ve subbed :) very helpful I’m at work as of right now but I mite stop by stream since I have no friends I still haven’t killed Lilith for the longest time.
S5 is crazy in this regard and I love it... I was really sad at first, beacuse my first Mythic unique was Ahavarion staff (aka Mythical staff of Instant salvage), but at least I got spark from it (last spark I needed, so I instantly crafted Shako)... and then I got super lucky and Tormented Grigoire dropped Tyrael´s Might and very next run I got Doombringer.... really glad it is possible to get theese items from all Tormented Bosses, beacuse I never have enough Malignant Hearts to farm Mucus-Slick Eggs for Duriel, but I always have ton of Living Steel, so that is very nice.
I love farming for Mythic uniqies , i think they should bring drop chances down about 1.5%. They also need to bring in another like 6-8 Mythic uniqies. Including " Vamp gaze " , " Stormshield " , " So J , " to name a few!
@Raxxanterax, I am a new streamer from South Africa, obviously watching you for many years! Huge fan (my streams, when I have a hoodie up, its no relation, its just cold by me) but you the OG hoodie man :) I have been focusing on the weaker builds, Like Shred, its been fun and I am struggling, but any chance you have some time to review it, give some pointers, and maybe I can improve on it. Iv got maxroll planner up, trying my best. You are actually my inspiration to trying this, as I still have a day job / son and wife :) so time limited. Thanks for all your hard work man! You a legend.
@@Raxxanterax Wow I am blown away that you actually replied friend!! You have made my day! I will keep trying and who knows, maybe some day I can collab with you, as I just want to have fun and to make a positive vibe with our games we all love (despite some issues) :) Big fan from South Africa you legend! :) Edit - Got my 1st mythic unique yesterday :D Tyrials Might and crafted Shako, so I am over the moon :) You are very valued my friend
I got andariels visage two fights on a regular version was blown away first one I've got and I played the crap outta season 4 and never got a mythic unique so it's definitely a lot easier this season
Hey Rax, thx for the video and summary of the current season changes... For the most I admire you invest your time to help other with Lilith! Well done, never killed her by myself yet, nut I consider it as challenge)
This was INCREDIBLY helpful info Raxx! Thanks man! I got my first 2 Mythic's yesterday and they were that staff and amulet lol I salvaged the staff but not gonna lie the amulet helped my mana problem with my Fireball Sorc I can average around 20 shots until mana is empty if I hold the button, and it shot my crit chance to over 80% cause I already had 41% crit chance, so even tho it's not used in most any builds it is useful for mana when you have no other Mythic's.
Great video Raxx. I love how you targeted the broader audience by giving the complete information. This helps a lot of people, especially those who are returning for the first time since last year. Gotten 5 mythic so far, still don’t have a Shako 😂. I’m sure one will show up!!
