[D4]Should I get Diablo IV? - eviltoast

So I was wondering if I should buy D4.

I am a huge d2 fan with hundreds of hours laddering doing mf runs and trading to get those juicy rune words, both on the original game and resurrected.

Like many D2/Poe players, I was and still am hugely disappointed by D3. And I really dislike what blizzard has become.

That being said, is Diablo 4 a good game? And more importantly, a good Diablo game?

    Speaking of Hydras, I’m angry that I can’t cast more than one Hydra at a time like in D2. I believe you can get an item that may allow you to cast an additional Hydra, but I haven’t come across it as of l48. But I still shouldn’t have to rely on some rare item for what should’ve been a core spell mechanic, this makes the Hydra sorc build a lot less viable compared to earlier games.

    Another tip - for legendary aspects that are only available from item drops (like the hydra aspect), you can try gambling for them.

    For:

    • Offensive aspects, gamble the cheapest (in obols) weapon available for your class
    • Defensive > pants
    • Utility and mobility > boots
    • Resource > rings (resource aspects can be hard to get because rings can also roll with offensive aspects)
