Moved onto WT2 and it’s quite a bit harder with elites and damages. Need to a few levels before I can do the capstone dungeon. What’s the best way to level? Looks like Whispers for now Dungeon spam. Combine with whispers. Side quests are totally irrelevant for xp now, events are meh and plain murder is the only way. If you want a sidekick for the Capstone gimme a shout

Campaign done. Capstone Dungeon at WT2 done, done a bit of WT3 now and interestingly I feel more powerful than I did in WT2. I also have waaaay too many aspects in my inventory that I need to sort and get building with.

Completed the story just now on WT2. Literally pinged level 50 as I picked up the letter. Been to the tree and got the whisper wotsits on my map.
That last bit dragged on a tad but the final fight was quite cool. I have a capstone to do now and then WT3 will be entered.
Ran into a bit of issue in act5 when I would kill a boss to get the goober they dropped. Afterwards porting away caused my character to drop said goober so I had to ride it back home on horseback.

Started playing this a couple of nights ago, but only really got decently stuck into it last night. Went through the prologue with all the characters to decide which one to go with, even though I had really already decided I was going to give rogue a go (really liked Druid and their slamming rocks and Sorcerer with lightning whip though).
Took me a while to gel with Rogue, but getting there now. I began going down the ranged route, but the slow firing a single target attacks were not great when multiple enemies appeared. Switched the spells over to be more melee focused and having a much better time of it. Twisted blades is particularly satisfying, exploding packs when it zaps back to me.
What was the consensus regarding world tier? I've stuck with 1, as I thought I heard bosses were stupidly tanky on wt2. Is it worth doing wt1 and then skipping wt2 and going straight for wt3 when it's completed? Maybe do wt2, but drop down to wt1 for some bosses?

Capstone done this morning waiting for school run. Kite like a motherfucker, sting like a truck! (When off cool down) Anyways, WT3 here I come.
Enjoyed the shit out of that dungeon and the legs and rares were dropping like crazy throughout.
I stashed a load of stuff I've not sifted through yet and just picked a load more so I need to have a sort through before playing next to see if any are uogrades

Another one joins the fold, welcome VandelayI'd say if you played any diablo (or other arpg) for any considerable amount of time then WT2 feels like a nice challenge. Think I died like 5 or 6 times. Yeah some of the bosses can be a bit spongey but if you're geared right then it's feels good. Give it a go and if it feels off then drop it down until you have better stuff. The early game is maybe a bit more punishing for melee chars

OK, it's taken me until level 54 to notice that you can target legendary aspects in normal dungeons, you don't have to wait until they're dark red for the tree tokens. And unlocking all waypoints doesn't mean the entire map is unlocked.
Don't be like me.

So I'm pretty much right back into it now. Loving it again. Still exploring Scotsglen and got as far as the mission where you follow the druids little doggy. I think I'm probably a bit behind in the campaign compared to my level (I'm 40!), but because of the autoscaling, I'm still squishy as hell. In fact, I feel TOO squishy again.
Changed my ultimate to shadow clone which I'm quite liking though.

Thanks crashV👀d👀. I don't have much ARPG experience, to be honest. Played D2 about 6-7 years ago. Managed to get to Act 4 with a necro, before being unable to do anything against mobs of enemies with the skills I had, so ditched it. Played a bit of 1 about a year ago and enjoyed it quite a bit, but, again, reached a point where I felt underleveled and didn't seem anyway to grind out more levels. Been playing D2:Resurrected more recently with a friend and we have just reached Act 5. Not played D3. Other ARPGs I've dabbled with, but normally bounce off after awhile. Titan Quest is probably the one I've stuck with the most. I'm finding wt1 quite easy at the moment, so might bump it up to give wt2 a go. Only early days though. Think I'm only level 9 or 10.

I don't think there's any point in increasing WT for the story, personally. The added challenge in difficulty will just slow you down, and the game really starts once it's over. You don't need an increase in gold and the increase in XP will be offset by difficulty. I ran WT for the story, increased to WT2 as soon as done to get a load more altars and strongholds (still a few of these left), and opened up WT3 last night.
For any alts I'll run WT2 from the start, but then I won't be replaying story either. YMMV.

Do the mobs hit for more damage across tiers 1 and 2 or is it just a health increase? (Realised I've never actually read the tooltip for the tiers)

On another point of view I personally didn't find much of my progress being being hampered by playing on WT2 in the slightest, died like max 5 times. Completed the story, did uhe capstone dungeon and then went to WT3 all in one night, I would say the increase in gold helped pay for all the upgrading of legendaries, making legendaries and so forth.

Although there's nothing so satisfying as shadowstepping into the middle of a mob of enemies, imbuing with shadow, spawning a clone then spamming barrage. Unless there's a big horrible fucker in there, every other cunt falls in a second. Although if I don't kill everything, I need to get the hell out for a couple of secs.

What’s the deal with the watchman’s key in kyovashad? Found it on the floor at the east exit but it’s bound to the city.

They bring the pain, basically. to be expected really. Duh! I'm not sure if I was overthinking but this is why I tackled 2 from the off. I wanted to get used to dodging, kiting & healing and not rely on facetanking so that the jump to 3 would feel less impactful. I'm going to start unlocking the map for renown and filling in all the side shit and then progress onto whatever the endgame stuff is. Think I'll just stick with this char and roll something new on the season
