Omg out of all of the videos I watched about combat rating this is the only video that Clearly and concisely explained everything about it perfectly. All of the other videos they just ramble on without getting to the point. Thank you for elucidating the concept.
For any necromancer doing hell 2 (around level 30 - 60), use default build 2. It will save you a ton of deaths, esp if you join the side quests and stuff.
From my experience. The fastest way to get your CR up as a F2P is to grind to Paragon Level 80, clear Challenge Rift 60 solo and then grind Hell 3 for high stat gear.
Grind gear? I haven't gotten a set piece or legendary gear from a hell ll dungeon in two weeks. And they gear I get from open world farming is worse then what I have now. CR at 1750 not getting much higher.
For my experience as a casual f2p, i struggle abit from hell1 to hell 2 and now im paragon 64 1529 cr with decent roll on gear stats.. i dont think i can even start hell 3 even when reach paragon 100 unless i bring some 2 stars gem to rank 5.
What you can do my friend is when you’re around paragon 70 do farm in open zone areas in hell 3 like the realm of damnation or library where everyone’s already farming. You hit them once and other farmers kill the mobs for you so you kill them fast and don’t die. Once you get a full set of main gear (non-set items) you can join dungeons without feeling like a burden and farm left hand side gear. This is what I did when I went from hell 1 to hell 2. Also FTP paragon 73 CR 1780. Good luck! :)
literally my problem. paragon lvl 55, with 1700cr and it literally looks like gear upgrades just dont drop anymore. before that, every legendary piece that dropped, was ALWAYS better than what i had equipped. now it's all just trash for salvaging.
U can continue farm in hell 2 up to paragon 130 as gear will drop based on your paragon level. If u move to hell 3 too fast, u find that u kill slower, hence less xp as compared to blasting thru hell 2 and still can get gear as your paragon level. I watched stew gaming did a video on this faster xp grinding lower hell level
Yea, it helps to understand this, but the video tittle was preparing to hell 3, what is the target for hell 3, and how gets that being a ftp, I mean what upgrade lv on the gear, (lets say if is 2x stats only as most of us have, what about gems, upgrade only 1, or all at the time? Things like that was what I was expecting in this video, but it also helps me the hellicary thing.
Almost F2p here, I bought 2 battle passes so far. Demon hunter paragon 281. Damage 6300. CR 5100. I played from 0 to h3 by myself with no help from others or research online. I stuck in h3, was just unable to find better legos. I met someone and helped me to reset my paragon trees, What gems to use, where to farm. Also finding someone to carry me to farm in h4 and h5 was not easy but I was lucky enough. There are lots of players who is keen carry so do ask. I have finally reached h5 minimum CR requirements this week and it has been a long grinding without spending too much. If anyone has questions, I'm happy to chip in.
I bought the battle pass, once. I'll buy this one too, but only after I complete it so I can collect all of the rewards at once, that's key. Other then the 4.99, I've spent nothing. I currently have a CR of 2365. No 5 star gems. I also started this game a month after release. I know some people say buying the BP isn't f2p, I get that, but it doesn't exactly make you a "spender" either. Ive yet to run a single dungeon in a group, so no good set pieces. Ive ran lassal once, on normal. Just grind. Be smart with your resources. Use your currency correctly. Thats it.
I have been stuck at 1750 for days. I'm paragon 71. Once I get to 80 I won't be able to farm new gear until I beat challenge rift 60 . Currently on rift 52. It's going to take weeks as a f2p. Gems are hard to upgrade once on rank 4.
I’m paragon 82 and can’t progress to hell 3. Like you I am around 1750 CR and there is absolutely no way to increase my combat rating without getting better drops. Dungeons are absolutely horrible drop rates for set gear. That leaves open world farming (running in circles for hours) collecting monstrous essences, praying for a decent drop from bestiary rewards.
@@alberto5980 it's more about how long it takes to improve cr. Maybe it's just being unlucky due to rng but I have farmed at least 30 legendaries over the past 2 weeks and nothing is better than my current load out.
@@myles.humphreys I am f2p, para 78, and I have 2050 cr. I will not be hell 3 for para 80, but what is the problem? I have litterally another 30 days to get 100 cr, you have enough time even for f2p
i really don't understand how helliquary is f2p friendly when u need to hit 2k combat rating to actually do the 2nd boss to get more combat rating. i`m a casual player (bought the battle pass and he 3 first/cheapest bundle) and i'm at 1709 combat rating right now. how am i suppose to clear the 2nd boss? i heard from some content creator to try and get carried to get the boost but i can't enter the raid, no? also i don't think diablo immortal has enough players at the top that are willing to carry some plebs in the frist place. granted i play like 1-1,5 hours a day so it takes like 3-4 days to upgrade on gear piece now (don't get enough legendary gear)
i literally hit a paywall. im on hell 2 with 1700 combat rating and some upgraded legendary gems, even have 2 rank 10, 1 stars. however, gear upgrades literally stopped dropping. like none of what drops is an upgrade for me. im stuck at challenge rift 51 and can't beat it. so now im like stuck. i can't get gear upgrades, i can't drop more money to get combat rating from gems. and what do i do? stay in hell 2 forever?
I was stuck on lvl 50 in Poh for a week and a half. Then once I figured out how to beat it I am now o. 90. Sometimes it's not just the cr it's the game play. Now im not saying that it's your issue but see if you can find optimal solution to the lvl.
@@stevedubzz like, i can level. i can just do mindless grind like all the previous levels. or do pvp dailies and the regular 8x bounties. problem is, if loot that increases my CR doesn't drop, i wont be able to cross over to hell 3 even if i hit paragon 100, because my CR will hold me down on doing mobs in hell 3. problem is not that i can't grind paragon levels, problems is that loot that is upgrades to my current gear doesnt drop.
@@Asmodeius yes but now that we're a little bit established we are going to find that we are getting much less upgrades. When we do find upgrades they will be small to very small improvements. I went 4 days an ran 40 dungeons a day and got 1 green set gear. 160 runs and I didn't even keep that piece of gear. I know the struggle. I was at 1700cr or somewhere near it For almost a week. That's like an eternity. But we are going to hit road blocks like that periodically. I'm now 2700cr
And he didn't answer the most important question, how do you grind for gear faster???? Because I do 50 dungeons and get a few set items that aren't as good as my current ones and also get zero legendaries. So that's like 2 hours of grinding. There has to be a faster way that's not p2w
combat rating is a good indicator in pve but in pvp it feels a bit of a redundant stat because of the resonance system, I can be the same or similar combat rating as some in pvp but because of the resonance they will have 2x damage or 1.5 x and 2x to 1.5x more life.
I got only bad legendary s from paragon 60 - 80, increased my combat rating by 100 :|. The only good legendarys has no strenght on them ( Barbarian Char)
I’m playing in Hell 1, but I really need my combat rating higher.. Ive gone to hell2 trying to get better gear, but I die very easy… is this worth my time, will I get much better gear???
I played more than 12 hours a day for a month , my paragon level is 88, my CR is only 2488, if I play 1hour each day , and use all the rest time to work in MacDonald, and spend all the money on the f xxxx gem, my CR will be higher, so who the fxxxx tell me why I need to play this stupid game like this.
@@VeiledShot could you please show us that for now on when making these videos it feels alittle misleading when majority of players that still choose to play this game aren't spending 1000 plus dollars into it. I've been farming h3 for days now and not 1 lego drop has been a upgrade in stats compared to my paragon 60 ton70 peices from hell. Yes also do the stats of your gear drop after gems are removed? If you're cr truly is 2100cr its because of the ridiculous stats you have on your gear due to that res buff when obtaining them that matters as well.
@@toasterstruddle3807 Resonance gets removed as well AND doesn't even apply to Combat Rating at all. You clearly don't know how the system works and instead of talking about it you choose to reaffirm your misinformation. Not only that but I also mentioned how much CR you would get as a F2P player from your legendary gems in this video. Please watch the video all the way through.
@@VeiledShot ok so I'm curious sense I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm 465 res my main hand shows 1206 damage on the weapon. If you lowered you res would that stat drop or stay at 2k? Would your drops be lower stat wise then your current gear you gained while all gems are equipped?
@@toasterstruddle3807 Resonance only impacts damage and life, which has very little impact on whether you can do H3 because the stats scale linearly while Combat Rating is an exponential/logarithmic function. Once you reach the threshold, damage and life don't matter because the CR that you will have will also have the proper amount of damage and life associated with it. P2W players with high resonance still struggle immensely unless you hit that CR gate. So CR is really the only thing that matters in PvE to reach those higher levels, Resonance is more of a PvP concern. As for drops, the gear quality is the exact same whether I have rank 10 or rank 1 gems.
How do you expect f2p players to reach 3k plus cr? One of the biggest whales in the game is 3400 cr with maxed out 5 star gems 7k res. Best way to increase your cr is Uninstalling the game and not promoting a cash grab game. 👍
@@lukejDaPlugsplug I was f2p paragon 82. I had triple stats gear every slot gems that I could obtain f2p and could reach 2k cr. Every drop I get is not a upgrade anymore because my res is to low. Funny how you say don't suck because in this game you can just pay to be good. So I guess every NORMAL person with common sense I guess sucks at this game because they are f2p and choose not to throw 6 figures into a dead game for pixel with no value.
