Construct wasn't a pet. It was a mechanized companion.

Pets are officially back, albeit there's only one for free at the moment. There are 3 more that are immediately available if you pre-order Vessel of Hatred as well as a big cat mount, so there's also hope for being able to ride wolves at some point.

Glad to see this kind of personalization and customization finally coming to the game.

Love my pet already, especially since it looks like my old dog...

Wait what pet did you get? Or did you preorder to get the pet?

 

[Vega_Obscura]

There is a mission that unlocks pets.

Only one for free for now based on what I've seen...

Oh man, where is this quest?? I want a pet.

It’s in Kyovashad. You pet a dog and it unlocks.

The construct didn't function as a pet.

It attacked and supported the player while picking up absolutely nothing dropped by enemies.

It functioned as a companion similarly to how they work in Diablo 3.

The pets that are now in the game do not participate in combat at all and pick up gold as well as resource drops.

They function the same exact way they did in Diablo 3...

am saying in general the beta tested the pet itself and if should we allow a pet to attack also or no.
its easy and cheap way to beta test a feature option.

 

[BigPete7978]

Hit Level 90 with my Barb.

 

[dogwitch]

going to post later.
but got 2 925 gear i been trying to get for days now

No, they are meant to be pets not fighters... They hang with you and follow you. It's a way to customize yourself a little more, and have a little friend with you.

They are basically meant to be eye candy, but they are fun.

They also pick up gold and stuff from what I have seen.

Oh man they are back for collecting stuff! Oh hell yeah, just like Diablo 3. I missed the pets at launch i had hoped to carry over pets from Diablo 3, with new pets at the start from world bosses and butcher and stuff... would be cool having a mini butcher following me around.

 

[KOQSTRONG]

Preordered Vessel of Hatred and paid a little extra to get a few more pets that are available immediately. Started up Season 4 with a Sorcerer. Liking my build so far. Played for an hour or so on XBox, got the achievement for the Sorcerer kills then fired up my PS Portal and played a while did a dungeon and got the trophy for the Sorcerer kills. Gonna fire up the XBox in a minute and play more.

 

[dogwitch]

going to post a image today with my necro guy.
but been wanting to know if anyone else is run a necro here?

i stumble on a interesting build for it.

 

[BigPete7978]

Now have a Necro and Barb at Level 100

 

[BigPete7978]

Got my Druid to Level 40, not really feeling it. Probably need to try a different Build.

 

[dogwitch]

what gear your running on necro?

 

[BigPete7978]

what gear your running on necro?

Honestly just a best of right now. I can check in a minute for you and screenshot

 

[BigPete7978]

Alright started a Lightning Sorcerer and am at Level 25 now. MUCH more enjoyable than the Druid for me, though I know it may be the Build I was using.

 

[BigPete7978]

Here you go @dogwitch. Now granted I didn't follow a guide with this character and I just been winging it.

 

[dogwitch]

Other the bone storm, and i am look for skel thing.
i run 4 of the same item types.

 

[Vega_Obscura]

Hit Level 90 with my Barb.

Dude!

Stop stacking so much armor.

You only need 9,230.

You could stack more power or other things to make yourself even more unstoppable.

You get no benefit from having all the extra armor...

From the image it still shows him below the 9200 threshold, do those added to armor not show up there?

I was just looking and realized we could temper some armor, and my squishy sorc is at like 4k lolololol so i'm super squishy. I was going to mimic him and see if i can add just enough to hit the threshold and then swap other things to better more power related stuff.

I haven't done much masterworking (well none) and the temporing since i keep replacing gear so fast. I'm at 83 now i think? So it should slow a bit.

I might have to double dip and get on PS so i can play on portal and grind stuff while watching tv.

I fixed it. You can see it on my Level 100 Barb. I didn’t know about the cap previously until you mentioned it.

 

[dogwitch]

stay up way to late last night.
but got a key gear i been needing due to last one that had more skeletons was 820 lvl armor.
i finale got it.
that being said i read the necklace.
you can pump that up on terms of peak to over 50 %

 

[Vega_Obscura]

Been playing a couple of my eternal realm characters for the past couple weeks.

Went back to my seasonal fire Sorc at level 80 and she is in desperate need of rebalancing.

Guess I learned everything about tempering and masterworking in the eternal realm because my fire sorc, while powerful, has less than enough survivability. Been adding armor and hit points, but I may need to throw some points into barriers...

Wait, is tempering and masterworking on the eternal realm too??

Season 4 update is global as well as a permanent change to the game except for the Iron Wolves story and rewards...

What was the bug...?

 

[BigPete7978]

Just started a Rogue as well. Holy crap they are pretty fun!

 

[dogwitch]

What was the bug...?

loot not dropping at lvl of the character. it taken up to this season for it to be fix for me.

 

[Vega_Obscura]

Loot seldom if ever drops at your character level unless you reach the cap of a given world tier and even then, it only drops at the world tier cap or a little less.

The level of the equipment is pretty meaningless.

You should only care about the item power...

where talking 400 less amount of rank.
everything.

 

[Vega_Obscura]

What world tier are you on...?

 

[SaintAvalon]

hrmph missed the sale on Diablo 4 for PS5 for some portal gringing...

They do however have a dual pack that has the base game + the expansion for 70$.... the base game is 50 now and 40 for the expansion so i'd still save 20 hmmmmmmmm.

When does this season end?

 

[dogwitch]

What world tier are you on...?

last season? lvl 2

 

[Vega_Obscura]

last season? lvl 2

Yeah.

Loot doesn't drop up to the enemy level cap on the lower tiers. It sort of incentivizes players to up the difficulty.

Don't know how it is now, but before this season, I recall loot dropping up to level 45 on WT2 with an enemy level cap of 50...

that idk on how you. but mine was so bad. the vendor hat better lvl loot.

 

[Vega_Obscura]

Character level or item power?

Even at end game on WT4, I believe the loot only goes up to level 90, but it is at the maximum item power of 925.

On my current character, She's a little over level 80, gets level 80 loot, but some of it has max item power...

item power.

i also already screen cap my current necro gear. but 2 item drop that are making my og gear more fun.

 

[dogwitch]

ok so i finale hit 100 necro
auto gen minions,auto gen the vine thing,
i auto corp explosion.....
got 1 pecie of gear that does that..
like the pit atm is straight up easy as pie with my build.
the hell tide bos in the field.
i do none boss controll with all 12 minions.
its a rain of instant blow up death for enemies. even elites.
its wild how this one is.

 

[SaintAvalon]

Hit level 84 with my Sorcerer, shes a fire mage. It's been pretty fun and she tears things up in helltides at WT4.

She is squishy, but i think i have a few things i can do to increase the armor to cap. Then it's like 2 or so elements i need more resistance to, then i should be as unsquishy as i can make her.

She's fun to play, it's kind of a shame the game is basically three things at end game. Helltides for loot, NMD for glyphs, and the pit for masterworking. I'm pretty sick of helltides right now. I basically have been going to helltides since level 1.

 

[dogwitch]

doing a rogue build... lvl up fast but ehh damg for some reason.
mage build going to aim for lvl 30 today.

Rogue builds seem to be a slow burn.

You really have to find a skill/aspect synergy early and lean into tempering. Raw damage affixes will fill the gaps until your build does the work...

even my newb not really mess with caster was doing more dmg then rogue...

 

[dogwitch]
