You have come a long way since this pal, im about where you are in this video at the moment, in terms of damage and pit tier. Have you seen Macrobioboi's videos on how he explains how damage works in this game by any chance? Its really eye opening and a few things he goes over i wasnt aware of.
@@StarEclipse775 No I haven’t watched that video but I know how damage works in the game through my own plus community findings along the way (since beta) which I’ve also then tested myself too. Since I don’t just rush/grind through leveling, every season it’s a gradual climb/progression as I tweak and experiment again with the current patch’s/season changes, or find/earn new gear etc. So getting from where I am earlier to later on, isn’t necessarily always about knowledge but more of natural gear/build progression over time. We just got some new info and they are giving Sorc/Necro a 20% increase to main stat scaling, and a 15-20% increase to core/mastery, as well as a higher cap on the S5 burning nerf (raised from 40% to 80%). So it’s looking much more hopeful next season.
@@kestononline Lucky you, i dont know what druid is getting next season, i havent read up on it much. It seems the real powerhouse classes are Barbarian and Sorc. I guess necromancer and rogue can deal some good damage too. Seems like Barb is the best though with Bash. Druid seems to take a backseat and is neglected as far as updates though they did give us the earthbreaker ring which i have but dont use because of the way my build is as it wont benefit me if im not casting landslide manually but through aspects. Anyway its good to test and experiment with builds to and heck even create your own build and not copy every single thing posted on the internet. My build is only a little bit different than the one i saw online, crowd control damage vs damage to elites on paragon, i went with damage to elites and bosses. I dont rush through the game either, though i have gotten carried through tormented bosses and powerleveled by a friend. My 3 other alts i leveled in helltide before i got my 4 resplendent sparks. Havent touched them since. I play much like you do, just trying to progress, it takes time of course. You've played since the beta too? I got the game before season 1 started on Eternal Realm, played through the whole main story as a bleed Barb. Each season is a new experience.
@@kestononline I jumped on the druid bandwagon this season because i saw a lot of druids doing amazing things like Uber duriel, but tormented version is really difficult. I should have just hopped on the Barbarian bandwagon, seems like despite the good buffs they gave the most love and attention to Barb which im not going to complain, its my favorite class. We'll see how season 5 goes, i might be a Barb main and Druid or Sorc as an alt and actually level them to 100 and gear them properly. One of my friends is a Barb and hes the one who carried me to tier 105 in the Pit which i definitely cant solo and he soloed the tormented bosses for me too. Seeing him do that, im like "i picked the wrong class this season!" lol. As i wanted to see some high 10's of millions in damage, big numbers, but i cant seem to do it on Druid or my build is wrong or just sucks idk.
@@StarEclipse775 Generally you have to understand and stack certain multipliers to scale your damage. There are good Druid builds in Season 4. If you’re struggling you should first search/check RU-vid for gameplay of Druid doing those things like Pit 90+, then have a look at how they did their build. Though rather than just straight copying it, compare it to what you currently have or what they did differently to get an understanding of where you went wrong. Learning the how and why will translate to you being better at making your own builds in the future. And once you get a grasp of that, it extends really to pretty much any build or class going forward.
You want Fire Damage Over time, because this gets scaled/multiplied with the Burning Instinct paragon node. So for example if you had +120% on your BI node, that would be x2.2 (1 + 1.2). Making 60 Fire DoT into 132 Burning Damage; which is more than 60 Fire Damage which doesn’t get scaled by anything. Incidentally Damage %’s value gets doubled when applied to DoT skills. So 60% Damage % is worth 120% to Incinerate. Meaning up to +100% (x2.0) on the BI node, Damage % is better. But once you get above that, Fire DoT starts edging it out to be the better choice.
I play on Steam Deck, and though the FPS is good normally, when I have the recording plug-in thingy running in the back it can get a lil choppy sometimes; especially when I am playing output to my 4k TV like this at 1080p instead of just the Deck’s native res/display.
I thought i have better build than you (more multiplicative damage sources) and you deal much more damage than me (~5 times) and dont know why and how... i drives my crazy. Dunno why my build is bad :(
Just have a look at the build link in the description, and compare the stats and aspects with yours. Most importantly, compare your Burning Damage, INT, and the Bonus from Burning Instinct paragon (scaled with Critical Damage stat and INT). Also, are you using a staff or a 1-hander plus Focus? You need much more Incinerate Ranks when using a 1-Hander/Flamescar + Focus to make up for the Affix/Stats you lose from the Legendary Staff.
Almost the same here, my average ticks are 4~6mi (top 24mi on dummies), but that´s because I have no high ranks bonus for incinerate or inner flames in my items.. They make difference.
