**Some Updates Since the Release: 👉Early difficulty tiers are all open from the beginning (Normal, Hard, Expert, Penitent). 👉All the tiers have had an increase in difficulty. 👉Doing the seasonal quest and completing Realwalkers to get opals and the 15% Exp boost that comes with using them, is now the recommended first thing you do.
Great rundown of the upcoming dlc and changes. I do feel there's one tip that's missing: when making a new character, activate the pet before doing anything else. (Found in the wardrobe, for anyone unaware)
Getting materials throughout the dungeon and not only in the end is huge. I hated doing an activity, spending 10 minutes, in the end see that I am struggling with the boss, die and not get anything for the time I spent. Also not having three types of materials is very good, countless times I ran back and forth because I am short on X material and I have to trade down and then do it again and again. The expansion will be a much better game, I will be surprised if it isn't.
One thing to note about the masterworking is that they've nerfed it in two ways. The first is that they've restricted tier 5-12 to ancestral items only, which now are only the items with greater affixes. All items (I'm not sure if there is a minimum item power threshold) can be masterworked to tier 4, and it's actually cheaper in terms of gold. (410k instead of 750k) The second is that it's much more expensive in terms of gold to reach tier 12. (14.96m instead of 8.5m) The cost in terms of masterworking materials it costs the same.

The way they made pits level glyphs makes me think of how legendary gems worked in diablo 3. There was a nice rhythm to that and I hope it works here too
It feels pretty good and rewarding. I like how big the boost is for glyph level 45 with the extra radius. The extra speed on leveling new glyphs felt way better faster than doing NMD 100's to level new glyphs.
@@OwnModeGaming Nice to know it had a good feel even in the PTR. Giving glyphs this extra layer was a very good idea considering the paragon changes as well
I didn't know i was supposed to jump up in difficulty so rapidly. I just got back to level 70 and am still on HARD. 😮 I thought I was supposed to wait and beat the game first before moving to the next higher difficulty.
I think hard is a good level to run the campaign for most players. Any higher level is just a test of your build, which isn't the main focus for the campaign.
@OwnModeGaming i think I just spent waaaaaaay too many hours wondering around looking for side quests and not going straight through the campaign.

Thanks for the video, playing with wife on couch co op and this video is really helpful. Hopefully they will fix the couch co op bug in infernal hordes tho
Does Vessels of Hatred have a new chapter of our story and would you advise doing that in pieces or at once ? My thoughts is that this guide is very good for alts or those who are only playing to gear. :) I'm a new player so the quests still have interest to me
So you can apply a lot from the video. The biggest difference is you are going to be using the campaign to level not Helltide/Maiden. So, just follow the main questline when you are done or if there are breaks in the quest, you can use more of the strategies in this video to keep you moving until the next part of the quest opens up.
So what do you say, should I play through the campaign from A to Z on 8th of October with this new DLC? As I haven’t played D4 since December last year?
Definitely, I think that's best way to do it. My wife and I are going to play the campaign this week and then just start a new spirtborn character at launch and skip to the new campaign. If I didn't need to create a lot of content next week, I would do it straight through with the spiritborn.
I have seen several other creators pointing out that of you are doing the story go through on normal because it is quicker to get through the story and your bonus xp doesn't scale to world level. After doing this will using potions I was around 53 after beating the story.
Doing the campaign on hard makes sense. A lot of people are ending closer to 58. I think I was 55 at completion. Doing the campaign on hard. So you can finish up by running strongholds and be there pretty fast, even if you just continue on hard.
19:44 the part most ppl don't like are not that they locked it to 5 boards... It's that they locked it to starter + 4 leggo boards... It should have at least been starter + 5 leggo boards 😐
@@OwnModeGaming As long as they squeeze in the leggo node and use the same layout of the starter board, I'd be fine with that .. thing is that the starter board layout, although much smaller than others, is really good and packs a lot of power in a small area so it's really worth to spend the first 20 Paragon points
The max 5 boards doesn't really bother me, because of the build your using you are naturally not going to use some of the boards, like if I'm a ice sorcerer then I'm not taking a board that ups fire damage. Unless I'm missing something then having max 5 boards is fine, it will be easier to unlock those legendary nodes and rare nodes plus empty slots for skills, but that's just me
@@vigormortis6839 People may not tend to play on Eternal but it's still incredibly ignorant of Blizzard to junk everything that players have spent a lot of time collecting for the second Season running.
It is a Hydra Sorc. I cover it at the end of this video... ruclips.net/video/07m9nNh3Tb0/видео.htmlsi=8VHpoqrbpj7sXTYG If it's a lot of ice it from points in familiar to points in frozen orb and used the unique amulet Fractured Winterglass to get more Hydra spawns.
My question is if I’m playing in a group and I’m not the host so I don’t have my mercenary, do I still receive the buffs it gives me? Like if one buff is +15% all res do I keep that or lose it?
@@Tildradain edit: mis-read at first, I expected we'd need todo the expansion campaign but was wondering if we had todo the base game campagin before the VoH one unlocks if we can do the VoH campaign from lvl 1
@@leNNNNik I don't think that's correct. There is a chance when you first face the maiden in the storyline, the one in the cave not the Helltides, that the minions don't give xp. The leveling felt great around the maiden.
Nice video, just got you a new subscriber! i got a quick question and maybe someone will answer me! I got the XGP and with that i play D4 on PC AND on Xbox. If i buy the new expansion on Xbox, will i be able to play it on PC since D4 is on the GamePass or nah? Im pretty sure the answer is nope but that would mean if i want to play the new char on console and PC, i would need to buy 2 xpac?..
It is still not clear to me what is going to happen to those of us in the eternal realm. I currently am at max level have all glyphs at max level etc. What tier will I be in? My intent is to continue with my one and only character.
I ran the campaign on penitent starting from about half way through and was on hard/expert prior. Having done all of it, I can legit say nobody should be recommending higher difficulties than maybe hard for anyone pre 60. Every bonus to XP and progression you may be afforded is completely eclipsed by how much longer it takes to kill things. You simply can't have enough on your gear to make up for it. Eidolon of jualin felt like I was trying to tear down a brick house with a plastic hammer. If you actually want to progress, just play on normal. Hard if you want to slow your progress a bit in exchange for more gameplay.
My question about the expansion story is do we have to play the whole campaign again to play the expansion story, can we skip it and just play the expansion story and what happens after we beat it does skipping the campaign mean skipping it for future characters also?
Leveling up the fastest is going to be doing stronghold completions. The exp from those seem to be independant from world tier as well so you might as well do it on normal to bumrush it. Completing a stronghold gave absolute batshit exp at PTR and I haven't yet seen any sign that they'll change that and I sure hope they won't because it was just a very fun way of leveling.
Yeah, some of those felt weird. I really like the new gem size but early on I threw gems on without noticing the difference and was wondering where all my life was.
I have questions about the paragon boards more than anything. I get the feeling they have less impact on playstyle in the current game and while changing the layout is fine with me, I'm actually more concerned about noticeable benefit from the choices. Currently, glyphs feel like they do very little except to those who watch procs. (BTW, glad they fixed the number that show up.) While that's probably doing something, the overall feel is that they don't do nearly as much as say an aspect or unique piece. I think they should have a noticable *visual* difference. Also, I do like the increase in potential build styles with runes. What I'd really like to see is an end to nerfing certain skills also. Builds like Ice Shards with Frost Nova used to be good and visually stunning on PTR and they honestly suck so bad that you never see these at all on any build. There's always a very samey selection of skills on builds. Everyone having Flame Shield, Teleport and Ice Armor with Ice Blade for example or everyone having Dash and Caltrops. They fixed ones like Hydra and Spear but we still have the same "filler" pieces and this speaks to lacking synergies and mostly "max skill" selection. There probably should be some antisynergies as well so that you avoid that.
They make a huge difference and the ability to take them to an additional radius and leveling them to 100 will completely changes how important the glyphs will be. Damage add numbers in the thousands for example. It's going to be insane.
You can temper any legendary with 2 tempers. Its doesn’t have to be ancestral . Just a heads up. I think the biggest mistake I made was doing to many tempers pre 60 . I had no mats to work with at 60 and it kinda left me in a weird space with my gear.
It is still max 85% and if you float over the armor it will tell you what percentage you have. I also shows you the max armor required to max out at level 60.
@@HeathenTrucker I liked it a lot. A few rub points with choices they made with the actions of some of the characters, but I still really enjoyed it. I also think that there are a lot of people that are in such a hurry they hate anything in their way include cinematics or any storyline at all.
Same I'm starting with Necro I make a a necro first every season. Minion necro to be exact. Not a huge fan of all these changes but we shall see come Oct. 8th.
Most effective way to level is doing the story quests, you get insane xp from finishing each quest. (Strongholds also good. The maiden is trash in comparison)
Penitent has also increased in difficulty. I wasn't sure when they said that in the dev update if they meant fully opened or if there was a once its been open deal. At least for the penitent. They may have just misspoke and even that's open but it was weird how they talked about it.
@@OwnModeGamingyea u can basically start old torment 1 difficulty now... not recommended obviously. but when you get some legendary tempers in the season might expedite leveling alts
How do You have 2 bars of buffs, once my first one fills up I cannot see anything after that, no counters nothing. Made Hurricane Druid God awful to play waiting on the 16 second timer :( THAT I CANT SEE LOL)
Im really excited for Oct. 8th... I just hope the changes to s6 r good cause s5 was amazing and s6 changes dont seem that great but hopefully im wrong. Either way cant wait. Great video btw.
Thanks, man. There are still more things to come the season 6 mechanics still haven't been announced in full. We should see them in the Fireside Chat next week. Also, thank you for helping people in the comments. It was really cool.
Can you still temper and masterwork your gear when you made a runeword in it?? Same with mythics, can you make runewords into mythic uniques? Nice recap video mate✌️😈💪
They had said they were going to be rare when they first released and we got an insane amount. So, even if they lower the drop rate a lot, we may still have plenty. Thank you for the updates. I appreciate it! 🙏
The drop rate for Stygians is so much better in T8 and I do get your frustration. T8 are not a solid choice for most builds. I'm sure you are doing it but if you are hunting stygain stones just make sure you are putting most of your reward into the material chest. Totally agree on the Hellborne. Only consistent choice for sure!
As a casual and less skilled player, I'm concerned about Torment lvls, glyph upgrades, and ancestral gear being tied to the PIT. Feels like they are forcing people to play certain modes/events in order to progress.
Yeah I don't like any of these changes S5 was damn near perfect this doesn't seem like its gonna be good but hopefully I'm wrong. Still hyped for the DLC but not so excited for the new season. Guess we shall see.
Progress beyond the story should be focused on skill… worst part of d4 is everyone has the same gear, glyphs. Special gear rewards for skill to separate the casuals from those that put time and effort into being the best.
They are actually fixing one of the worst forced play sections, the NMDs being the only way to level glyphs and also the best endgame leveling is now being broken up into different new activities. I think it works out way better and that it lead to having more choices to of activities to play no matter what you're looking for.
This season isnt for me sadly. Feels so slow in progression and damage feels so weak, loot is so little and more. Also, you dont need level 50 for penitent. I was in penitent at 9 and doing dps. And one thing i do you never mention that still works is Farming cinders in low tier then changing difficulty and opening chests in higher difficulties with the cinders.
Well, it does depend on if you're playing seasonal or eternal doesn't it? Your S5 seasonal character gets transfered to the eternal realm at the end of the season. That include all items and your complete stash. So you could still play your character, but not with the S6 mechanic. And all your gear gets degraded to a lower level because they altered gear lvls massively.
My biggest mistake was going straight after Damage% on everything. I have massive amounts over 200.000 on my characters but didnt kill a fly. What made massive damage was Critical Strike Damage, Overpower Damage and the % of how much to strike chance that made damage. Stupid backwards I know :/ The absolute most boring and frustrating is that in the Season you cannot use your Mythicals from S5. Man all that time for nothing.
Its almost like hardcore characters might be the way to go for me... I get attached to my character in soft core and its all pointless now.. Wish we had the option to bring an already max lvled character with us thru every season... Not the gear or items just the character itself and the maxed glyphs.. because having to regrind lvls and glyphs is stupid af and I want the option to just use the ones I already have.
Damage has some weird buckets where you only has benefit up to a certain amount or there is major diminishing return. I'm still trying to figure it out exactly. I end up mostly leaning on in-game testing on the dummies to see if i'm getting the benefit I'm testing.
@@subzero308 Yeh exactly... Its frustrating and mostly a way of repeated gameplay. It becomes boring really fast. I get the sense they want players to "stay" ingame but they are going about it the wrong way which is sad. :( I mean think of Guild Wars 2 when they have seasons its in the Core Game so you can use which ever character you wish so you can enjoy everything straight away. IF you wish to create a new character then thats another thing.
Why does blizzard keep releasing new seasons on a random ass Monday or Tuesday? Doesn't it make more sense logically it gets released on a Friday or Saturday so we play more as opposed to a work day?
I really don't understand. Other than they might be having us RUclipsrs test it out to see if anything is broken, so they can update it before most people play. 😉
@@OwnModeGaming according to a post regarding Diablo 3 and WoW, Blizz has stated that is mostly the case. Release big changes early in the week, and have it fixed by the time most people have free time to play, which is weekends. This is a common practice with most live-service IPs.
@@OwnModeGaming since when do feelings matter? its a class that is the EXACT same thing as a druid or it wouldnt be animal/nature based to begin with (why they didnt just go with a fucking monk or paladin is beyond me).
It seems to be a mix of monk crossed with witchdoctor/druid. From what I have been told and have seen, most attacks are hand to hand, then it has spells related to the animals. That's my understanding at least. I dunno why you are so angry. I may not be happy with blizzard either but you don't have to take your frustrations out on others. If you don't like the content, don't watch it. Simple as that.
I get it, you were given early chess to help sell their expansion but seriously…nightmare dungeons are THE most boring part of this game. It hurts my soul to do them back to back. Forcing us to do boring content just makes me not want to play their game anymore. I wished I would’ve watched your video before I paid for this money grab.
I wasn't given early access and I'm not selling. I actually like the game. I'm a little tired of people think you have to say a game is crap to be authentic. I play games I like and the video is a video on things I, me personally, like in the game. You most likely won't need to do NMDs you can probably run hordes to get the mats. I hope you enjoy whatever game you play and that you don't play games you hate.
What I don't understand right now is the nature of this dlc, is it like reaper of souls? Meaning it unlocks basically 50% of the game? I'd really hate it if blizzard would lock half the game's mechanics behind a huge paywall
This is why I quit diablo, too much stats that you think should be great and there not! Need to follow guide or videos like you to realize why my build was wrong because they display a stats that show that its the best but its not. It sucks!
Why would you level up "crazy fast"? There is no leaderboard, ranking etc... The best strategy to level up is the "enjoyable strategy". Enjoy lore, enjoy exploring new map for the first time. Why would you speedrun new content?
Maybe you missed tip one. I'm not speed leveling new content I'm playing and enjoying. That being said there are many people that like to know if their leveling is efficient. It helps them to enjoy the game more and still some others that skip the campaign and race to the end because they really enjoy that. I ultimately hope everyone plays the way they want and I also hope they have fun.
as a campaign skipper myself, i play diablo for the gameplay. the story just locks things behind it until u clear. i wanna be raiding day 1 if possible even.
so this is ptr? okay, let me quickly check when your last vid was that wasn't from content that isn't available in main client? Aug 30, 2024 after that ur vid was about some Sep 6, 2024 hydra sorc build again on the new season or patch? @OwnMode either make ur channel about the future of the game with spoiler or about what us who are currently playing the game can expect. Your choice, I won't judge u either way, but im pretty upset that I'm only here cause u made it seem like you're giving tips about THE CURRENT game. Fine if u want to make it about future patch and ptr and all that but just communicate man jeez cause right now i can't even LOOK at ur vids cause i don't want spoilers.
After playing d4 season 5. I felt the boredom. Skills are limited just a few of them, no diversity. Cooldowns hindering the momentum attacks. Skill twigs not interesting. Paid dlc. Goodluck blizzard if they survived when poe 2 and TQ2 arrives
PoE is gonna be cool but D4 is fun and simple.. I hated PoE cause I literally needed a entire guide just to play the damn game to me thats stupid. D4 might be limited but that's a good thing. More isn't always better.

How do you level glyphs in nightmare dungeon? There is not thing at the end to level them. only see it in the pit

This is post story stuff.
Play the full game and story... Its actually good IMO and u being a new player u get to experience the game in an amazing state. Enjoy it.
So you can apply a lot from the video. The biggest difference is you are going to be using the campaign to level not Helltide/Maiden. So, just follow the main questline when you are done or if there are breaks in the quest, you can use more of the strategies in this video to keep you moving until the next part of the quest opens up.
Great video! Nicely done! See you in Sanctuary!!!
Thank you and see you there, my friend!
I just got to 100 and I was confused to how to get better gear. I didn't realise 925 was max for example!! Thank you for the help \o/
I'm glad i could help!
So what do you say, should I play through the campaign from A to Z on 8th of October with this new DLC? As I haven’t played D4 since December last year?
Definitely, I think that's best way to do it. My wife and I are going to play the campaign this week and then just start a new spirtborn character at launch and skip to the new campaign. If I didn't need to create a lot of content next week, I would do it straight through with the spiritborn.
@@OwnModeGaming thanks ☺️ I’ll be getting some hours next weekend when it drops 😁
I have seen several other creators pointing out that of you are doing the story go through on normal because it is quicker to get through the story and your bonus xp doesn't scale to world level.
After doing this will using potions I was around 53 after beating the story.
Doing the campaign on hard makes sense. A lot of people are ending closer to 58. I think I was 55 at completion. Doing the campaign on hard. So you can finish up by running strongholds and be there pretty fast, even if you just continue on hard.
Does resource generation effect runewords?
If you use the trigger that is based on resource use then it can.
19:44 the part most ppl don't like are not that they locked it to 5 boards... It's that they locked it to starter + 4 leggo boards... It should have at least been starter + 5 leggo boards 😐
What if they had done no starter, just five boards of your choice, would you have liked that better?
@@OwnModeGaming As long as they squeeze in the leggo node and use the same layout of the starter board, I'd be fine with that .. thing is that the starter board layout, although much smaller than others, is really good and packs a lot of power in a small area so it's really worth to spend the first 20 Paragon points
The max 5 boards doesn't really bother me, because of the build your using you are naturally not going to use some of the boards, like if I'm a ice sorcerer then I'm not taking a board that ups fire damage. Unless I'm missing something then having max 5 boards is fine, it will be easier to unlock those legendary nodes and rare nodes plus empty slots for skills, but that's just me
What will hapen to our gear this season on eternal when s6 starts
It's trash
@@vigormortis6839 People may not tend to play on Eternal but it's still incredibly ignorant of Blizzard to junk everything that players have spent a lot of time collecting for the second Season running.
All current gear is going to be set to lvl 50 and ilvl 540 and as such you will want to replace it in pretty short order.
Hey, great vid :) What was the Sorc Build with Hydra and which was that with Ice? Looks interesting :)
It is a Hydra Sorc. I cover it at the end of this video... ruclips.net/video/07m9nNh3Tb0/видео.htmlsi=8VHpoqrbpj7sXTYG
If it's a lot of ice it from points in familiar to points in frozen orb and used the unique amulet Fractured Winterglass to get more Hydra spawns.
My question is if I’m playing in a group and I’m not the host so I don’t have my mercenary, do I still receive the buffs it gives me? Like if one buff is +15% all res do I keep that or lose it?
I'm really not sure how exactly it's going to run but it is very unlikely that you'll get the buff if your mercenary isn't there.
If you wanted todo the new campaign do you have todo the base game campaign or is there an option to skip just the base game campaign and do the new?
You have to do the expansion campaign the first time, exactly like the base game
@@Tildradain edit: mis-read at first, I expected we'd need todo the expansion campaign but was wondering if we had todo the base game campagin before the VoH one unlocks if we can do the VoH campaign from lvl 1
@@BeatsByPentoi think we can just skip base campaign like normal and just go straight to DLC.
@@subzero308 Awesome thanks
will this work if people didn't get the expansion? also you give such great, simple and easy advice. you have a new sub!
Everything applies to base game apart the rune and merc section.
For leveling, i thought the mobs at Blood Maiden in Helltide dont give XP? Am i actually wrong or will they change it in next season?
@@leNNNNik I don't think that's correct. There is a chance when you first face the maiden in the storyline, the one in the cave not the Helltides, that the minions don't give xp. The leveling felt great around the maiden.
You got me excited for october 8th. Glad i decided to buy the expansion.
Awesome, I'm excited too!
Nice video, just got you a new subscriber! i got a quick question and maybe someone will answer me! I got the XGP and with that i play D4 on PC AND on Xbox. If i buy the new expansion on Xbox, will i be able to play it on PC since D4 is on the GamePass or nah? Im pretty sure the answer is nope but that would mean if i want to play the new char on console and PC, i would need to buy 2 xpac?..
Yeah, you need to buy on both.
@bowlze No, you will not need to repurchase as long as you are signed in with the same Battlenet ID
It is still not clear to me what is going to happen to those of us in the eternal realm. I currently am at max level have all glyphs at max level etc. What tier will I be in? My intent is to continue with my one and only character.
I'm still not sure either. I'm hoping they lay it out in the fireside chat next week.
I ran the campaign on penitent starting from about half way through and was on hard/expert prior. Having done all of it, I can legit say nobody should be recommending higher difficulties than maybe hard for anyone pre 60. Every bonus to XP and progression you may be afforded is completely eclipsed by how much longer it takes to kill things. You simply can't have enough on your gear to make up for it. Eidolon of jualin felt like I was trying to tear down a brick house with a plastic hammer. If you actually want to progress, just play on normal. Hard if you want to slow your progress a bit in exchange for more gameplay.
Thanks for putting this up. I really appreciate the detail and testing!
👍👍Pls thumbs up👍 the comment above so more people get this, ty!!!👍👍
My question about the expansion story is do we have to play the whole campaign again to play the expansion story, can we skip it and just play the expansion story and what happens after we beat it does skipping the campaign mean skipping it for future characters also?
Not sure on most but every time you make a new character you choose wether or not to skip campaign every time, surely hasn’t changed.
The devs said there's options to skip base campaign only and base + vessel of hatred.
Rank 100 glyphs is going to be insane
Yeah, the power of endgame build are going to be so insane this season!
Leveling up the fastest is going to be doing stronghold completions. The exp from those seem to be independant from world tier as well so you might as well do it on normal to bumrush it. Completing a stronghold gave absolute batshit exp at PTR and I haven't yet seen any sign that they'll change that and I sure hope they won't because it was just a very fun way of leveling.
Has been said the exp will be tuned
I haven't seen much talk about the gem changes I saw in PTR. Like ruby in armor no longer added health I think it was strength?
Yeah, some of those felt weird. I really like the new gem size but early on I threw gems on without noticing the difference and was wondering where all my life was.
I have questions about the paragon boards more than anything. I get the feeling they have less impact on playstyle in the current game and while changing the layout is fine with me, I'm actually more concerned about noticeable benefit from the choices. Currently, glyphs feel like they do very little except to those who watch procs. (BTW, glad they fixed the number that show up.)
While that's probably doing something, the overall feel is that they don't do nearly as much as say an aspect or unique piece. I think they should have a noticable *visual* difference. Also, I do like the increase in potential build styles with runes. What I'd really like to see is an end to nerfing certain skills also. Builds like Ice Shards with Frost Nova used to be good and visually stunning on PTR and they honestly suck so bad that you never see these at all on any build. There's always a very samey selection of skills on builds. Everyone having Flame Shield, Teleport and Ice Armor with Ice Blade for example or everyone having Dash and Caltrops. They fixed ones like Hydra and Spear but we still have the same "filler" pieces and this speaks to lacking synergies and mostly "max skill" selection. There probably should be some antisynergies as well so that you avoid that.
They make a huge difference and the ability to take them to an additional radius and leveling them to 100 will completely changes how important the glyphs will be. Damage add numbers in the thousands for example. It's going to be insane.
You can temper any legendary with 2 tempers. Its doesn’t have to be ancestral . Just a heads up.
I think the biggest mistake I made was doing to many tempers pre 60 . I had no mats to work with at 60 and it kinda left me in a weird space with my gear.
They changed it since I released that video. It also seems to be over a certain item level that allows the double temper.
If attack, def, and hp is dropped, is there news about the new armor cap?
It is still max 85% and if you float over the armor it will tell you what percentage you have. I also shows you the max armor required to max out at level 60.
First things first for leveling. Seasonal quest.
I would actually go campaign, if you have the expansion with just enough seasonal quest to get the opals.
@@OwnModeGaming did you enjoy the xpac campaign? I really enjoyed it while others thought it was mid lol
@@HeathenTrucker I liked it a lot. A few rub points with choices they made with the actions of some of the characters, but I still really enjoyed it. I also think that there are a lot of people that are in such a hurry they hate anything in their way include cinematics or any storyline at all.
Forgot to add another tip.
Ignore the Damage to Angels because there are none.
Everybody gonna be playing spiritborn, but not me. Im going druid. Mainly because druid is my favorite, and i havent bought the dlc yet 😂😂
Same I'm starting with Necro I make a a necro first every season. Minion necro to be exact. Not a huge fan of all these changes but we shall see come Oct. 8th.
As long as you are enjoying it, it's a win!
Most effective way to level is doing the story quests, you get insane xp from finishing each quest. (Strongholds also good. The maiden is trash in comparison)
That makes sense.
Expert and and Penitent start unlocked now so it's simply a choice at the start.
Penitent has also increased in difficulty. I wasn't sure when they said that in the dev update if they meant fully opened or if there was a once its been open deal. At least for the penitent. They may have just misspoke and even that's open but it was weird how they talked about it.
@@OwnModeGamingyea u can basically start old torment 1 difficulty now... not recommended obviously. but when you get some legendary tempers in the season might expedite leveling alts
@@xbon1 that would be cool!
The expansion campaign took me to level 58 without doing much of anything else (hard difficulty)
That is definitely my recommendation for anybody running the campaign, because it does match up pretty nicely. I didn't originally think it would.
Not sure why they centered everything on the pit?
I'm hoping they add one more place we can level glyphs, like maybe the hordes or the new dungeons.
What is Tournament level? Never heard of it
Its going to be new for season 6.
How do You have 2 bars of buffs, once my first one fills up I cannot see anything after that, no counters nothing. Made Hurricane Druid God awful to play waiting on the 16 second timer :( THAT I CANT SEE LOL)
The two bars is just default as far as I know. I'm wondering why yours doesn't show. Are you playing on console or PC?
@@OwnModeGaming I play on Xbox, starting to wonder if that's why now tbh 🤔 😅
*Prime Tip:* Have (4) Resplendent Sparks going into Eternal Realm, so you can craft the Mythic Unique for your Spiritborn.
Solid!
Doesn't work that way anymore
You now need runes to pick the mythic you want plus 2 sparks
@@brianauger7791 so essentially you can get 2 mythic uniques for the Spiritborn. Even better!
@@vectorfox4782no... the runes are incredibly rare drops or target farmed from undercity for instance. you need LEGENDARY runes.
My question is, at what difficultly now does mythics start dropping from?
As soon as you run bosses and that starts in torment level 1
Im really excited for Oct. 8th... I just hope the changes to s6 r good cause s5 was amazing and s6 changes dont seem that great but hopefully im wrong. Either way cant wait. Great video btw.
Thanks, man. There are still more things to come the season 6 mechanics still haven't been announced in full. We should see them in the Fireside Chat next week. Also, thank you for helping people in the comments. It was really cool.
Can you still temper and masterwork your gear when you made a runeword in it??
Same with mythics, can you make runewords into mythic uniques?
Nice recap video mate✌️😈💪
You definitely can still masterwork and temper runeword items. You can add runes to mythical. Thanks, man! 👍
@@OwnModeGamingas a follow up... Can you remove runewords by unsocketing them as well?
@@sipjedekat8525 Runes can be socketed and unsocked just like gems.
@@mattm8870 Thanks for the reply. Come to think of it, it would have been a bit stupid if they weren't able to.
Infernal Hordes, compass drops are much rarer now, so not likely a reliable leveling approach.
They had said they were going to be rare when they first released and we got an insane amount. So, even if they lower the drop rate a lot, we may still have plenty.
Thank you for the updates. I appreciate it! 🙏
Strongholds unless it's changed were extremely good for leveling
The drop rate for Stygians is so much better in T8 and I do get your frustration. T8 are not a solid choice for most builds. I'm sure you are doing it but if you are hunting stygain stones just make sure you are putting most of your reward into the material chest. Totally agree on the Hellborne. Only consistent choice for sure!
we'll hopefully hear/see on oct 2nd Campfie about whats to be changed
As a casual and less skilled player, I'm concerned about Torment lvls, glyph upgrades, and ancestral gear being tied to the PIT. Feels like they are forcing people to play certain modes/events in order to progress.
Yeah I don't like any of these changes S5 was damn near perfect this doesn't seem like its gonna be good but hopefully I'm wrong. Still hyped for the DLC but not so excited for the new season. Guess we shall see.
Progress beyond the story should be focused on skill… worst part of d4 is everyone has the same gear, glyphs. Special gear rewards for skill to separate the casuals from those that put time and effort into being the best.
They are actually fixing one of the worst forced play sections, the NMDs being the only way to level glyphs and also the best endgame leveling is now being broken up into different new activities. I think it works out way better and that it lead to having more choices to of activities to play no matter what you're looking for.
5 boards and glyphs. Good. Good.
👍
This season isnt for me sadly.
Feels so slow in progression and damage feels so weak, loot is so little and more.
Also, you dont need level 50 for penitent.
I was in penitent at 9 and doing dps.
And one thing i do you never mention that still works is
Farming cinders in low tier then changing difficulty and opening chests in higher difficulties with the cinders.
That makes since. The level cap was recently changed. I've never done the cinder thing.
Any chance our mythic gear in season 5 can transfer to season 6?
This will not happen and is very likely never to happen, since the season is all about having a new start.
@@Siphr0dias I thought so, got my first 2 mythics 3 days ago. By by Tyreal's might- lost but not forgotten.
No, clean starts with new seasons.
Well, it does depend on if you're playing seasonal or eternal doesn't it? Your S5 seasonal character gets transfered to the eternal realm at the end of the season. That include all items and your complete stash. So you could still play your character, but not with the S6 mechanic. And all your gear gets degraded to a lower level because they altered gear lvls massively.
@@OwnModeGaming Okky dokky.
timestamps, Timestamps, TIMESTAMPS...FN TIMESTAMPS!
Real walkers? Season mechanic?
Yes?
Do you have video for us not planing on getting this expansion?
Apart from the small rune and merc section everything in the video applies to the base game.
@mattm8870 is completely right. A lot of the video covers the base changes to the game as a whole.
Who’s going straight to spirit born? I’m thinking of doing a rogue first
Spiritborn for sure!
My biggest mistake was going straight after Damage% on everything. I have massive amounts over 200.000 on my characters but didnt kill a fly.
What made massive damage was Critical Strike Damage, Overpower Damage and the % of how much to strike chance that made damage.
Stupid backwards I know :/
The absolute most boring and frustrating is that in the Season you cannot use your Mythicals from S5. Man all that time for nothing.
Its almost like hardcore characters might be the way to go for me... I get attached to my character in soft core and its all pointless now.. Wish we had the option to bring an already max lvled character with us thru every season... Not the gear or items just the character itself and the maxed glyphs.. because having to regrind lvls and glyphs is stupid af and I want the option to just use the ones I already have.
Damage has some weird buckets where you only has benefit up to a certain amount or there is major diminishing return. I'm still trying to figure it out exactly. I end up mostly leaning on in-game testing on the dummies to see if i'm getting the benefit I'm testing.
@@subzero308 Yeh exactly... Its frustrating and mostly a way of repeated gameplay.
It becomes boring really fast.
I get the sense they want players to "stay" ingame but they are going about it the wrong way which is sad. :(
I mean think of Guild Wars 2 when they have seasons its in the Core Game so you can use which ever character you wish so you can enjoy everything straight away.
IF you wish to create a new character then thats another thing.
Why does blizzard keep releasing new seasons on a random ass Monday or Tuesday? Doesn't it make more sense logically it gets released on a Friday or Saturday so we play more as opposed to a work day?
I really don't understand. Other than they might be having us RUclipsrs test it out to see if anything is broken, so they can update it before most people play. 😉
@@OwnModeGaming according to a post regarding Diablo 3 and WoW, Blizz has stated that is mostly the case. Release big changes early in the week, and have it fixed by the time most people have free time to play, which is weekends. This is a common practice with most live-service IPs.
FUN FACT: citadel doesn't work for console local coop players 😢
That's really not cool!
Hi grandfather❤
Stronghold glitch has already been reported, it will not be available during the actual expansion. Do not relay on that glitch to level.
Any idea on if there is still a nice amount of xp for expert level?
@@OwnModeGaming1.25 levels of xp per sh
@@xbon1 so if you start at level 45-47 you should still be able to run only strong holds to 60.
21:17 that's what she said
I think I'm missing it. She said "she wants me to speed up my power and momentum"?
'its not a race to the end of nm dungeons'
3 weeks later geared sorcs be like- 'Selling 1m NM dungeons clears 1B per 5 clears'
Too bad there isn’t the option to have loadouts cost x gold to switch builds from pvp, farming and Uber fights.
That would be awesome! I do wonder what they are going to do with PVP.
This is all fine but I'm still waiting for the cow level that doesn't exist.
I'm hoping for the cow level too. Maybe they will surprise us.
capping the paragon board is a major L
So no loadouts
Sadly no.

Lol, thank you! ☺️
a new class.. that is really just another flavor of druid.
I don't think it's going to feel even close to the druid. The only real connection is that they do something with animals.
@@OwnModeGaming since when do feelings matter? its a class that is the EXACT same thing as a druid or it wouldnt be animal/nature based to begin with (why they didnt just go with a fucking monk or paladin is beyond me).
@@megaflux7144 Go make your own game then, mate.
@@Bryan-it6nu nobody is paying money for a game so they can go make their own.
It seems to be a mix of monk crossed with witchdoctor/druid. From what I have been told and have seen, most attacks are hand to hand, then it has spells related to the animals. That's my understanding at least.
I dunno why you are so angry. I may not be happy with blizzard either but you don't have to take your frustrations out on others. If you don't like the content, don't watch it. Simple as that.
I’m okay with mercs but just please don’t make me gear them.
hahaha! 😂
I get it, you were given early chess to help sell their expansion but seriously…nightmare dungeons are THE most boring part of this game. It hurts my soul to do them back to back. Forcing us to do boring content just makes me not want to play their game anymore. I wished I would’ve watched your video before I paid for this money grab.
I wasn't given early access and I'm not selling. I actually like the game. I'm a little tired of people think you have to say a game is crap to be authentic. I play games I like and the video is a video on things I, me personally, like in the game. You most likely won't need to do NMDs you can probably run hordes to get the mats. I hope you enjoy whatever game you play and that you don't play games you hate.
What I don't understand right now is the nature of this dlc, is it like reaper of souls? Meaning it unlocks basically 50% of the game? I'd really hate it if blizzard would lock half the game's mechanics behind a huge paywall
Most of the mechanics I covered are in the base game not just the expansion.
@@OwnModeGaming so what does the dlc actually bring to the game?
This is why I quit diablo, too much stats that you think should be great and there not! Need to follow guide or videos like you to realize why my build was wrong because they display a stats that show that its the best but its not. It sucks!
It can be a pain.
arpgs in a nutshell. forge your own path. i never follow build guides and i do fine just playing for fun
Why would you level up "crazy fast"?
There is no leaderboard, ranking etc...
The best strategy to level up is the "enjoyable strategy".
Enjoy lore, enjoy exploring new map for the first time.
Why would you speedrun new content?
Maybe you missed tip one. I'm not speed leveling new content I'm playing and enjoying. That being said there are many people that like to know if their leveling is efficient. It helps them to enjoy the game more and still some others that skip the campaign and race to the end because they really enjoy that. I ultimately hope everyone plays the way they want and I also hope they have fun.
as a campaign skipper myself, i play diablo for the gameplay. the story just locks things behind it until u clear. i wanna be raiding day 1 if possible even.
Sorry I ruined your perfect 666 likes. Lol
No worries, I love it, let's goo for 1666 😄
Like the video or leave it at 666….
Some idiots liked it and ruined the 666. So I came back to like it.
so basically there still isnt a end game.
No not helltide again... i´m so sick of it.
It might still end up being hordes if they open early enough, we'll know for sure this week during the fireside chat.
crap
so this is ptr? okay, let me quickly check when your last vid was that wasn't from content that isn't available in main client? Aug 30, 2024 after that ur vid was about some Sep 6, 2024 hydra sorc build again on the new season or patch?
@OwnMode either make ur channel about the future of the game with spoiler or about what us who are currently playing the game can expect. Your choice, I won't judge u either way, but im pretty upset that I'm only here cause u made it seem like you're giving tips about THE CURRENT game. Fine if u want to make it about future patch and ptr and all that but just communicate man jeez cause right now i can't even LOOK at ur vids cause i don't want spoilers.
I'm going to make both types of content or I wouldn't have much of a channel. I'm sorry if I'm not your guy. Best of luck!
After playing d4 season 5. I felt the boredom. Skills are limited just a few of them, no diversity. Cooldowns hindering the momentum attacks. Skill twigs not interesting. Paid dlc.
Goodluck blizzard if they survived when poe 2 and TQ2 arrives
PoE is gonna be cool but D4 is fun and simple.. I hated PoE cause I literally needed a entire guide just to play the damn game to me thats stupid. D4 might be limited but that's a good thing. More isn't always better.
dont think i'll be getting it tbh... blizzard hasnt done enough to win me back.. $$$$ Bye!
Okay
How is the drop rate for legendaries in t1?
Not sure. I'm expecting them to let us know the real drop rate this week in the fire side chat.
