Yep, same! I even had the thought after seeing the actual time of the video “huh, that’s a pretty long explanation of a 2 minute speed run” before realizing…
Funny story, I was watching your lightning spear video, by the way thatnks for the guide and awesome build, and I did everything, gathered the mythic uniques, stacked critical damage like crazy etc had an almost perfect winterglass but the build was struggling in high end content and the damage just wasn't there. I didn't know why it didn't work, I did everything as shown. Why? WHYYY? Then I found a slightly better staff than the one I was using and I saw that I had forgot to put the splintering aspect on the previous one. I put it and suddenly I was annihlating everything. T8 hordes? No problem. Everything in the screen, just gone. I had a blast afterwards.
And this is why the current balance is so bad. There is only a few aspects/items that really work in the late game. The rest is just garbage. Your build is not good because of some interesting and creative interactions between items/aspects/skills but only because one aspect/item.
@@BigBuran yup and leveling paragon to 200 wasn't terrible i think people said its roughly like going from 50-100 in season 5 so its pretty fast, and then even past the 200 points it doesn't slow down until 250 or something and by 275 it really slows down
@@yulfine1688 Someone did some calculations on it and said 1-300 would take around 6x times of what it takes to do 1-100 today. Which makes sense since the paragon level will be shared account wide
excellent stream - matching your other vid where you explain the strategy on paint/text. Likely I will use a tried and true build to level and build seasonal resources before I go spiritborn.
Did the lightning spear sorc build and it is easily the most powerful character I have ever had in Diablo 4. I solo'd a tier 8 and beat uber lilith for the first time. My build isn't even the best it can be.
Hey Raxx, thanks for the content. I have a question: in early game you dont care to pickup obols from events, why so? I rememeber they say when you gamble items they come at higher level than you, so you could potentially get a better weapon for leveling.
With necro minions up to T2 you can run a 140P necro with just minions attacking and steamroll a whole screen. Past that I haven't been able to test, and that's just running a trash maxxed minion and CE build with howl.
I'm getting fed up with grinding the exact same items over and over and over every time a new season lands, because the devs completely overhaul items with every season. I'm split 50/50 whether I'm even gonna bother getting the expansion and playing S6 😒
necro usually is the fastest with leveling out of all classes, faster than sorc and rogue who are just a shy behind. Often with druid or barb in last as they're just slower classes in general.
Rax and others are saying not to, but they might nerf it a bit we will have to see, people enjoy the rush of xp from strongholds and that boost to hit from 37 or 40 and hitting 60 from it, but that doesn't including farming all your paragons still so while you'll hit 60 quickly farming all your paragon is still going to take time especially past the 200 and very few will probably hit 300 paragon just due how much slower it gets by that point which is the idea like levels 90-100 in d2 and even lvl 80-100 for many wasn't feasible because it's a lot of work. But hitting to 70 in d2 was reasonable and most builds were done by then anyways if not done earlier. Meaning the last 30-50 paragon should feel similar and its not a massive power boost currently until they redo paragon again to make it more useful instead of limiting us.
@@yulfine1688 Yeah I actually like the idea of going to strongholds for xp. Each one has a theme that bring quite a bit of variety to the leveling experience
@@reneemaestas607 It's not that bad, paragon is the other leveling system and it takes time to go through so most of us are fine with it, we enjoy the xp gain
why not just instantly skip to 250 paragon with full ancestral gear with 4 GA? because the line gets drawn somewhere, that line is you at least have to level yourself up.
it took a fe4w hours of efficient running and using necro which is the fastest, that's not bad and its not any different really than current season 5, the average player will still take over a day or two to hit 60 let alone level paragon to 200 which many said was roughly like going from 50-100 currently and it starts to slow down by 250 and above
How about the freedom of its players to create its own build, how they work on it? Currently blizzard is orchestrating which character builds that are better than others. Someone says to me “believe me don’t go against the version”, this awful making player just followed Diablo build or influencer videos build. If this still persist in next season, the spiritborn class that has cross skills or capability to build became nonsense since player doesn’t have freedom to create experiments to build characters. Blizzard should put standards across class skills and be it. Let player build with equal opportunity across classes and its skills.
Raxx, I think your recent videos have been pretty negative, however I finally got my son to come back and play season 5. From a wildly anti Diablo player to an optimistic player. Season 5 was pretty mid. Infernal hordes are shit. Pure shit. I think d4 end game is still in a terrible place and for a casual player Pitts, Infernal hordes and helltides have very little value to casual players. Season 6 looks to be gimmicks asswell.
Oh boy I haven't been following d4 news in a bit. I've never played one single game that didn't end up really fucked up for a while after increasing level caps buckle up people
This game is a pisstake... Holy fuck... I guess hyper casual 97yo dads with 126 kids truly are target demographic for Diablo 4. Not to mention upcoming forced coop - a big "fuck you" to solo players.
This looks so boring, am i the only one that is disappointed in the new season? Even d3 looks more fun and have better things than d4, like goblins, gr with leaderboards, set items that change your build, armory, legendary gems, kanai's cube, auguments, etc etc. D4 have like nothing, that makes the game fun and intresting. Maby the new raid and so on will be fun. But its just dont have that feeling to login and keep playing for me atleast. I keep hoping for better end game stuff Armory leaderboards etc but i guess it will never happen. And the uber farming is just so boring. Same with the tempering and masterworking its just bad :/
Yea D4 is still light on content. I ended up getting sucked into PoE this season and nothing will change for me when the D4 expansion comes out there just isn't enough to do to keep me engaged atleast with PoE if i get bored with one farming strategy i can try something else.
Very unfair comment. List every mechanic for d3 and then "nothing" for d4 when there's hell tides, pits, master working, tempering, uniquea, mythics, infernal hordes, aspects, etc.
@@GeneralRenz masterworking and tempering fall into the crafting category, now gameplay mechanics and the rest you listed are drops and aspects which are ways to play your character, so gameplay wise you're really only left with hordes, helltides and pits, since everyone hates doing nightmare dungeons and pvp in D4 sucks. So, yes you have essentially 3 endgame activities in D4 to push your character.
@@victorsoto4821 I was replying to a person who cited Kanais cube as a d3 feature that gives more interest than D4. That is also in the crafting category. D3 has one endgame activity, greater rifts.
Yes make the campaign a part of the game, but then a problem may occur that the entirety of the game will feel boring and whit a strict line to fallow, and that will destroy the game. So please no
Hell no they remove skip campaign and IMA remove myself from the game.. An I like the game but don't force us to play the campaign I already want the option to use an already max lvled character and just have to farm my gear. Lvling is so tedious and boring after awhile also gylphs r horrible content. New characters should be an option not a requirement.
I like to replay the campaign every now and then when I feel like it. I don’t think making it mandatory would feel that great, but that’s just my opinion.
Does not look like $40 worth to me oh well I think it took them around 10 years to make D3 good I expect the same with D4. Anyways path of Exiles coming out soon
@MaksKuaka I'm sure it will be underwhelming and disappointing just like all things are with blizzard nowadays. Anyways Path of Exile 2 will be coming out soon
You don't even know what you are commenting on. This are just seasonal balance changes, nothing from the expansion is live. Enjoy buying 600$ support packs in your "f2p" game, or spending 30$ for a skin so you dont look like a filthy peasant.
I'm used to D3 times, I assumed you meant 2 minutes 22 seconds.
Same haha
BAHAHA yeah I thought the same as well
Slowly but surely we are getting there
d4 will get there soon enough seeing as they are making the game more d3 every content update

thats the most important aspect, its the entire build lol, gotta keep a close eye on that
You are not the only one, my mate forgot to put on the aspect like 4 times or so xD
I did the same a few times when upgrading items, it happens, especially if you are on a call and aren't 100% paying attention
Now we need a speedrun from 1-60 and then 1-300 paragon.
I dont think you can access those paragon points until you reach 60. You will just have access to them ready to spend when you get there.

your title clickbaited me so hard, i thought you found a bugg and found a way to do it in 2 minutes 22 seconds... :D
2 levels from one stronghold sheeeesh
Nice vid. I would have added game audio though
So what was the big time skip in the end there? just starting strongholds later?
I'm getting fed up with grinding the exact same items over and over and over every time a new season lands, because the devs completely overhaul items with every season. I'm split 50/50 whether I'm even gonna bother getting the expansion and playing S6 😒
what time you usually stream?
Every time I seee dude in the blue I have a second where I gotta make sure it aint caseoh
Any ideas why the devs still think to get blue and yellow items on torment difficulty is a good idea?
Hey. Whats the timer called to track to gameplay time?
Why Normal Strongholds btw? the xp dont scale wtih the diffuculity?
Every 4 mins was a ad for 15 seconds
I didn’t have a problem with the rathma quest
Damn I didn't know they have omelets in d4
It sounds like your punching your keyboard lol.
Hi Rax
I ask where to get purple gear with 3-4 ga , I farm bosses 30-40 times and get only Uber with 1 ga
drop it
seems all the people doing 1-60 videos, are doing it with necros
Minion necros 4lyfe...
necro usually is the fastest with leveling out of all classes, faster than sorc and rogue who are just a shy behind.
Often with druid or barb in last as they're just slower classes in general.
Is normal difficulty the most optimal choice for speeding to 60?
Only in stronghold part, as you get huge exp from finishing the stronghold at the altar (not enemies) and it does not scale with difficulty
I don’t understand why he’s not doing a the HT Maiden when he has over 80?? What am I missing?
@RAXXAN-TERAX-y4p Ok pr-ivately…. Dumb
Do you think they will nerf the xp from strongholds for release?

trying to donate 40+ stones to you to give out
Why not just instantly skip 59 lvl and be at lvl 60 like you skip the campaign option?
That wat i want just let me have an option to be max lvl and just have to farm my gear.

Man wtf.. is d3 all over again. People will just be spamming for Power Leveling..how is this good for the game...
its not a good game. its for a very particular type of player who enjoys doing the same repetitive shit over and over again.
Because the majority of progression is post level 60. Level 60 is basically level 50 now, since that's when you begin leveling paragon
