5 Things I Wish I Had Known About Nightmare Dungeons (Diablo 4)

[@Siphr0dias]

Gotta admit, i never heard of you before, but i want to leave some words of support, since i deem your tips to be absolutely right. And your way of explaining is calm and we as viewers can feel the enthusiasm you have for the game. Bonus credits for the maxroll - shoutout. I love that community and their work. What did i want to say? Dunno. Thank you and well done, i guess. 😄

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thank you so much! This was really awesome!!! 😊

For NMD its important to pick tiers that have monsters 10 lvl higher than u to maximize exp. Or high enough that u are comfortably and quickly moving through. I was running BL sorc so able to do 20 lvls higher but after a certain lvl theres no added exp benefit. But NMD is mostly for acquiring new glyphs early on when u dont have as elsewhere lower glyph drops and for glyph leveling. For pure leveling i still prefer Legion event and blood harvest because u get tree of whispers n tons of legendaries. Ive noticed NMD item drops a little less this season, maybe cuz blood harvest drops so much more. Lastly s2 vampric powers are important, you want to run Hemomancy and w that boot aspect u have want to also have metamorphosis. Ravenous and prey on the weak are must have defaults. Later harder nmd you want undying and sanguine if having survivability issues.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Solid adds! 10lvl above in NMDs, if it doesn't hurt clear speed. If you slow down too much because of the difficulty you can end up getting less XP over time than the XP gained by the 10 lvls. I also noticed the same with NMD drops and I have seen very few unique drops in NMDs.

[@davegagne2005]

it's really amazing to see how much your audience has grown over the last months. 1000th on the way! keep up the good job

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thanks, man. It's been quite a journey!

[@2DmHgh]

Ty! I genuinely mean it when i say thank you for being DIRECT! I get it now!! I did 4 dungeons and 2 of them were really tough but i got 2 paragon nodes from 1 of them and then the other 2 took about 4 too 5 minutes and it was done

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

[@GermanWeaselZA]

Good video, especially for those just starting as well. I knew the tips already, but this is so well put together that I just watched the entire thing out of support :D Have my subscription as well :D

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thank you, this means a lot!!! :)

[@pseudipto]

Ignore the leveling tier list, just do glyphs. Xp is so much this season, you'll still reach 100 and have glyphs left to level up to 21 regardless.

[@OwnModeGaming]

That's exactly what I found.

[@TheEastCoastFiles]

Glad I found your channel, you definitely help. I didn't even know that the dungeons had a teir list and how some help with experience compared to another that helps with Glyphs.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Awesome and welcome!

[@Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant]

Also you can run two incense at a time for a total of 10%. As a primarily solo player, the biggest chunks of XP i get on a new character is a legion event with an elixir and two incense plus the campfire bonus and then a party usually gets made which im pretty sure gives more xp.

[@mindpyre1189]

the experience bonuses of the incenses doesnt stack, which also states in the tooltip of the item : )

[@OwnModeGaming]

I honestly never tried to run two incenses. Legion events are solid for leveling all the way through, they are so worth it for XP and the campfire is more XP for sure. Another thing I haven't tested is if being in a group while running the legion events gets an xp bonus.

[@2DmHgh]

I use the bats! And i combined them with a pair of shoes that has 3! Charges of dash! Each dash deals 1500-1800 dmg per dash and it damages any enemy within my path!

[@OwnModeGaming]

That ability is awesome and it has a cool animation.

[@Valeriazane]

i have been playing this game for 2 years now and this is the first I have seen the seasons page. or the gear pacts. interesting.

[@OwnModeGaming]

It's in a weird place. I don't understand why they put it there.

[@rogerh2694]

With how mobile the Sorc or Rogue is, don't really have a problem w/ Drifting Shade. If it starts to catch up, just circle around it to let it execute, then evade away. I dunno, I find some the dungeon affixes just add more dynamics to the game in a challenging way. Loved speed running, but that also gets old and want to start using your tools strategically.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Yeah, that makes sense. I think you need to always call it, for what you enjoy. I don't enjoy the stop and go nature of some affixes, so I don't do them very often.

[@Ender7j]

Even with farming whispers for sigils, I have such a hard time getting sigils…I’m constantly out…

[@OwnModeGaming]

The dungeons themselves have the best drop rate. Are you clearing most mobs and doing any dungeon event you find (including cursed chest and shrines)? Also, are you running these dungeons in world tier 3? I have noticed that drop rates increase in higher sigil dungeons. I don't run a ton of dungeons in world tier 3, i usually run enough dungeons to pick up glyphs i need and then I'm focused on helltides and blood harvests to get geared up asap so I can beat the capstone dungeon. I know i'm going to have to regear entirely in world tier 4 so I'm trying to minimize the time in 3 as much as i can. Then in world tier 4 I do mostly dungeons for leveling and glyph leveling and rarely have trouble getting sigils from the dungeons themselves. That all being said let me know the answers to the questions at the top and I'll try to get you a more specific answer. Also, if what wrote above helped then I would love to know that to. Talk to you soon!

[@Ender7j]

@@OwnModeGaming sigil availability has always been a problem for me. I’m a completionist so I clear out dungeons completely, speed running isn’t an option for me. I always get to WT4 as soon as I can, it’s where ancestral are. I just got my sorc to 100 and just beat Duriel solo last night. I’ve been leveling glyphs and trying to up the gear I’m wearing. Part of what I do is salvage any crap sigil I get. I won’t run certain sigil aspects, like death pulse or potion breaker, so I crunch those up. I don’t worry about dungeon layout since I clear them out anyway. The drop rate is really erratic, I’ll pick three or four in some runs and maybe one in another. I chalk it up to my crappy luck…if it were raining diapers, I’d get the one with the shit in it lol. Cheers!

[@OwnModeGaming]

@@Ender7j When leveling glyphs, I probably crunch 70% of my sigils either because of crap affix or long maps and since I don't need the xp. The glyphs do get spotty but I usually just run any I have until my pool is back, but you're right it is crazy either I'll see maybe one or a ton in a dungeon. I also noticed an odd proportion of the affix I hate showing up on the sigils i craft. For the speed run glyph leveling I hated running lightning storm and drifting shade and the storm one, but i swear one of those rolled 70+% of the time. Cheers to you, my friend!

[@alecj3454]

Good tips. As a Diablo 4 casual who does everything wrong -- like everything you said not to do....i do.... I appreciate the help. Now im a sub so i can catch all your tips. Cheers!

[@OwnModeGaming]

Awesome! Welcome and I'm so glad i could help!

nice vid, thanks for your time

[@jaygrubby88]

As someone who only does one character per season but wants to make a 2nd one this season what all carries over from your first seasonal character if anything

[@OwnModeGaming]

You will carry over all the renown rewards. You need to reroll the vampiric powers but you do share the potent bloods. Also you share gem shards and crafting material. You also get the rewards from the battle pass. Hopefully that's what you were looking for. I also have a video about starting an alt if you want to check that out, you'll also get to see my crazy beard.

[@beautimusrulz1]

Bruh. Boots should be evade cooldown on attack, ghostwalker aspect (maybe on ammy if you're really greedy), with the Metamorphosis vampire power at level 1. Try it. You're welcome.

[@OwnModeGaming]

I will check it out. Can you downgrade the Metamorphosis if you already have it at lvl 3?

[@rollcageuk]

You should stick to doing dungeons for the Glyphs or pushing. If you want to lvl in s2 the best way is to do helltides or the bloodzone. You get a bucket load of exp from opening helltide chests as well as completing favours for the tree. At to this doing world bosses and legion events, all of these are much quicker. And all of these give you items to summon the sub-bosses(durial,tir etc) Also worth noting that in the bloodzone, the best events to do are the syphons. They continually do damage to you but the longer you are in the area the mobs keep spawning at an increased rate. Loads of exp and items. The syphons look like the rescue icons on the map but they aren't.

[@OwnModeGaming]

I still found that NMDs were still faster for leveling but ultimately I think that the helltides and blood harvests are a lot for fun and rewarding. I found with the glyphs that by the time you do enough NMDs to level the glyphs to even 15, I had the level 100 in the bag. I was running NMDs about 20-30 monster levels higher than mine, which might of been enough of an experience jump to make that happen.

[@rollcageuk]

@@OwnModeGaming I suppose it all comes down to personal preference and what you need. It probably does not make a huge difference in the grand scheme. Ultimately you have to do all these areas, either for levelling, getting mats or lvling glyphs, so best to do what you feel the most happy doing as you are going to hit 100 easily anyway.

[@OwnModeGaming]

@@rollcageuk Totally agree, I think you nailed it!

[@nelsonreyes1778]

great information. thank you

[@OwnModeGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it and you are so welcome!

[@myth_275]

What is the optimal Monster level for max XP gain?

[@OwnModeGaming]

I aim for at least 3 monster levels higher to start then keep increasing as my build comes together. This season I'm usually in the range of 15-25 monster levels higher by the time I hit level 80. I have heard people talk about an optimal level but this season the bigger concern is getting those glyphs leveled (at least to 15) before you hit 100, so as long as you are clearing quickly keep bumping that monster level as high as you can. You can test this by timing yourself on the same dungeon, if the completion time stays close to what you were seeing at lower levels and you are not dying often then move up to that monster level.

[@Sundutero]

Do you still need to pop pots when you are max level and just doing glyph xp?

[@OwnModeGaming]

No, unless you want the benefits outside of the xp boost.

[@Sundutero]

@@OwnModeGaming Thanks for the reply, nice vid btw. Keep it up

No. I don't use potions and compete NMD100s in a few minutes.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Awesome, thank you!

[@kylekilgore291]

Just an observation. Get rid of flipper stepper. Use Esus

[@OwnModeGaming]

Yeah, I'll definitely try.

[@kylekilgore291]

@@OwnModeGaming esus are what all the streamers and top sorcs are using that I see. I also use them. They are awesome

[@OwnModeGaming]

@@kylekilgore291 Awesome! The build in that video is for farming. Looking at it I would definitely run Esu for NMD pushing and probably bossing.

[@glenmcl]

Not all streamers. The good ones are using Flickerstep for defence in Abatoir of Zir. Educate yourself

[@kylekilgore291]

@@glenmcl I’m very educated on the best builds entering AoZ. There are ZERO HoTA barbs using flickerstep and very FEW sorcs using flickerstep. It is clear as day Barb is currently sitting comfy at #1 strongest build entering AoZ. If you deny this fact you are simply delusional or biased towards your main. Having said that. Druid will be a close second and “possibly” pass Barb if the glyph double dips and works the way we think it will given blizzard doesn’t do any shadow nerfs on launch day. Continuing on, I have 4/5 classes at 100 for S2 and plan on having a 5th. I have done hundreds upon hundreds of T100 quad carries and Uber Lilith quad carries. I would guess well over 1000hrs played since launch. I would be willing to bet I know more than you about Diablo 4 mechanics. What’s good, what sucks. What builds are S tier and what builds are not. I say all this to absolutely decimate your lackluster accusation of “get educated” son, I’m the teacher not the student. Now would you care to make any arguments as to why any of the statements I’ve made are incorrect or “uneducated” ?

[@KianAmyas]

The advice about map affixes is something I started doing on my own almost immediately. Started playing 2 weeks or so ago so this is on my first level 100 char. For me it's simple. Sigil has storm, death pulse or shadow thing? Salvage! Not worth the annoyance. And last few days I started also just insta-salvage when I get a lightning resist sigil as well (playing a bl sorc) because that's just a dumb waste of time - almost double the time for no good reason. Well I also try to avoid spiders... Even with maxed out poison resist they just seem to do damage no matter what. No attack anim you can avoid, no move. nothing. "Spider exists... You are damaged." Great. Great. Love it. LOL Cool vid. Cheers!

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thats awesome! You definitely hit on my least favorite. Getting that time down makes such a difference in how the whole game feels. I remember before season 1 getting a 4 to 6min clear was often. This season, with the changes they made, you can get a 1-2min clear on some, like Belfry and Ghoa. It's insane!

[@Un4inged]
