Finished the story, lvl 47. Picks up pace a lot once you get a horse. Liked all the narrative stuff. Now to clean the map of alters and unlock all the rest…
And roll more characters!

I'm not sure that I've ever seen a Rogue out in the wild. Just a couple of Necromancers and approximately 5 million Sorcerers.

All I've seen is 2 barbs. Then again, I'm not that far in, at level 22
I'm struggling with the rogue at the minute though. My gear is too slow and the rotation isn't working well enough.

I'm saving rolling new characters until the first season kicks off. It's an enjoyable ride, but feels too soon to plough through the story again, especially if I'll just be doing it yet again in a month.
Might as well just focus on getting renown maxed and contine the grind to 100.

My Rogue is about lvl 22 as well. I think I have invigorating strike as basic, Barrage as Core, Caltrops and Poison Trap Rotation goes as, Blast Barrage for a bit in a crowd, should proc vulnerable, Poison trap and then drop Caltrops for a nifty backflip out of the crowd, then more Barrage. Seems to do the trick for me. Dropped the rogue for now as I continue my Barbarian slaughterhouse. Edit: also unlocked imbuement, Shadow is the one I went for.

Aye, if I see someone in the wild there's a 90% chance they'll start whirlwinding about the place.

Might as well just focus on getting renown maxed and contine the grind to 100. You don't need to do the story again 8 think it's just all the side missions and dungeons plus endgame activities. How does rolling an alt work if the world scales to your level but you start pre-levelled minus gear. Are you squishy AF for a bit?

Sounds like alts start at level 1 unless I've missed something? You can get a boost to 50 if someone is willing to help you, but that'll be the same as boosting in D3, where you'll be painfully undergeared unless they help you gear up as well.

I thought the renown system was supposed to boost the level of all your chars on that realm, essentially pre-levelling you ?
Clearly I've misunderstood the mechanic then.
EDIT, just re-read the wording and it's 'skill point' not 'level'. So my new alts can start with a bunch of skillpoints from the get go.

Up to 10 points, yeah, if you do all the stuff with the first char. Ed: I'm at 7 after completing the story. Shouldn't take much to get the other 3. I've created all my characters, one of each class. Whether I ever use them all or not is a different story.

I think it's the lack of energy build up for me. I may have to swap out Twisting blades for Invigorating instead. Though Twisting is my main finisher :/

Lilith altar stat boosts are account wide as well, so with that and the extra skill points from renown you should be able to absolutely demolish stuff at the start of the game.
Not sure if Lilith stats carry over to seasonal actually, so might make more sense to roll a new character now instead of waiting. Damn it, you've talked me into it!

I think I've nearly mapped out all of the first act area and I've only found about 4 Lilith alars...

Yeah, I sucked it up and used a map to hunt them down. Only had 4-5 in each area before that.

You'll have to let us know what skills you're using! Forceful Arrow (1]pt), Penetrating Shot (Maxed, Advanced + Trick shot imprint), Dark Shroud (1pt, Subvert), Shadow Imbue (1pt, Blended), Precision. Everything else into dmg traits except 1 point in Poison imbue for big lads Round 'em up with the speed buff on Dark Shroud, 3CPs from forceful, Shadow imbue, Pen. Shot.
This is what happens

Penetrative shot looks effective. What's your energy consumption like? That's what I need to improve.
I can take out about 40 mobs in one or two seconds with Twisting blades and death trap but then I'll go and put the kettle on while I'm waiting for the energy to refill

Shot, Forcefuls x3, repeat. Forceful while waiting on Imbue cooldowns. Forceful is really decent CC. You do have a bit of a wait for energy on elites at times if there's not too much movement

Yeah I'm hearing what you're saying. Will have to try and find more effective routines. Still, can't have everything immediately I'm still tempted by these side quests but only doing stuff on thr way of the main. It's really distracting my "oo what's that over there" ocd though

Just got an imprint that gives 1 energy every time you CC an enemy. If it works on Forcefuls' knockback then happy days

I still can’t really work out what Fortify does you take 10% less damage. To be fortified you have to have more fortify than life

It's a bit bonkers sometimes though isn't it, the stats.
I saw a skill earlier and I know I'm paraphrasing, but it said something along the lines of "this skill will drop the cooldown on X skill, but by Z amount, depending on if you've hit an injured monster using methods A, B or C in the last 4 seconds" etc
Are you serious? By the time ive realised what attack to make, its already too late. Its a bit too granular for such a hectic combat game. I just looked at it for a bit and just couldn't be arsed!
I just want that lovely zen like trance when it's all dancing beautifully in blood. Is that too much to ask?
