Diablo 4 - 16 Tips & Tricks To Gear That Seperate Pro & Noob

[@hmmbangluna5865]

This video is 100% for me! Thank you OwnMode! It’s like you’ve read my mind! Been looking for this specific guide but a lot of them are 10 months old and does not explain things in simple terms.

[@OwnModeGaming]

That's so cool to hear! That's exactly what we were going for!

[@SteamyPMcGee]

I'm new to the game this month, your videos are the most helpful at making it clear how and when to utilize the systems available that the game absolutely throws at us. It can be quite overwhelming without context. Much appreciated.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thank you! I really think a lot about making sure my content is usable for most players. So, its really cool to hear its working.

[@f.m848]

This really helped me a lot. I was already doing 90% of these but it feels good to know I'm doing it correctly. I was using a 2H Scythe for my bone spear build, but your last tip reminded me I'm losing a lot of crit damage by not using a 2H sword! so thanks. I just subscribed, this is the exact no-nonsense type of guide I like.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thank you, so much. I'm really glad it helped!!!

[@jediradekcrif9568]

i really hate how blizzard nerfed the world bosses dropping 925's... that used to be a big reason to do a WB, even if there was no whisper attached. now i just duriel anyway, but the WB 925's should be brought back imo

[@OwnModeGaming]

I totally agree 👍

[@mr.b111]

Should also drop uber uniques. Duriel over and organizers over is lame af

[@nelsonreyes1778]

Perfect timing just started Tier4. Great video.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Awesome, my friend! I'm glad you liked it!

[@manfredhoudek2385]

Problem with rolling rares, you run out of rare yellows and best way to farm and extract is picking up rare items. Best perctange roll for extract is 2H weapons, followed by one hand, gloves. Best high or low stats roll come from upgraded legends. Farming roses is easy by doing hell tides.

[@SynysterProjects]

Pro tip: you can actually transform Rares into Legendaries by imprinting an aspect onto it.

[@2jzfabio]

I just noticed this and instead of keeping some rares I SCRAPPED ALL OF THEM 🥲🥲

[@rwheil]

Even a casual player can follow this play style ! The game has the depth to develop some kind of build on your own ! This is a very good video on this approach! Thank you OM !

[@OwnModeGaming]

That is awesome and exactly what I was attempting. You are so welcome!

[@akdelta38]

Excellent video, very informative well put.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@_sleepyFox-oh6ob]

Accurate info. Although, I would stress to just play the game the first time through on your own. You only get your first playthrough once, so enjoy it (whatever that means for you), because it's just never quite the same any other time. For me: following advice, builds, min/maxing, etc just distracts from the experience. The only game I've ever played where i used some guides is Path of Exhile simply due to the sheer volume of layered mechanics and it's insanely complex crafting system (only because i came into it 10 years late.. lol). Later on I use guides to discover things I didn't know, find new ways to combine things I didn't try, and find various quality of life tips and tricks I never knew.

[@OwnModeGaming]

I personally agree with the first playthrough piece, though I do emphasize that players should play the way they enjoy the most. I stepped into POE about 10years late as well and I couldn't imagine doing it without guides or at least with friends that know what they are doing. Overall, I think you have a good approach. Also, thank you for taking the time to write it out, I really appreciate it!

[@_sleepyFox-oh6ob]

Thanks. Yeah POE is off the wall. I learned it the hard way on seasonal hardcore. 17 characters later I finally made it through the Atlas and some ubers.. then proceeded to get one shot when a flask was down with bad timing. In D3 I died to lag spikes more often than anything.. or that one random blind Teleport across a wall into a huge mob of insta-simultaneous exploding triple affix elites. Anyways, keep it up. Very informative videos you have. 👍 but like someone else mentioned, maybe take a stab at some dedicated hardcore stuff for those niche self-infuriating masochistic psychos like myself. 😂

[@deyluvcj1799]

I imprinted an aspect on a weapon from a code, is there a way to take it off?

[@OwnModeGaming]

Just by replacing it with another codex power or an offensive imprint pulled from another item.

[@jimmyclyde3293]

This is a tips and tricks video or more like things I wish I would have known when I first started the game. This guy is not making this video to make you play his way. He's showing you his growth in the game both in performance and way of thinking. We all learn everyday from other people experience whether it's reading a book or watching a video. It's all the other person perspective of the situation at hand. There's a old saying "A wise man learns from the mistakes of others, a fool learns from his own mistakes". My thing is if you want to play a game with nobody else input, then why are you watching a tips and tricks videos in the first place. At some point we have to make this coming into the comments section bashing a content creator off of an ego trip mess make sense. If you want to play the game with no advice, then clearly this video wasn't for you. No harm no foul 💯 🎉🎉.

[@OwnModeGaming]

That is an excellent take on what I was trying to do and as for the rest of your post, well said!

[@mtbingdude64]

hey bro great video!, dropped you a like. just curious, this video's about 3 months old at the time i'm watching it, I just started playing again this week because i heard of the new patch/ update. does this stuff still apply? i know they changed the way you upgrade gear. if so will you be making an updated video on the new system? just hit lvl 60, playin necromancer for my first time, wish i started last week and could have used more of the xp bonus lol. thanks in advance if you find time to reply!

[@OwnModeGaming]

Awesome, thank you so much! As far as the gear video goes, a decent amount held up, not the specifics but the way of thinking did. I do have a video on getting ready for crushing season 4 start that has a lot about gearing. I will be doing another gear video in about two weeks. I just updated the video outline for the gear update. I'm editing two videos right now and as soon as those are done I'll be recording the gear video.

[@brendosteez]

I powered through Cathedral of Light as a “solo” lvl 34 necro and it was interesting to say the least 😅

[@Pope_of_Novigrad]

Am I missing something on how to upgrade my gear? I can Temper and add aspects, but how do I upgrade an item to level 3 like he says?

[@OwnModeGaming]

That is an outdated video. We updated it with all the new changes that came last season. The upgrading in that older video has now been replaced by masterworking and it's something you only do in endgame.

[@Pope_of_Novigrad]

@@OwnModeGaming ah I thought so! Was getting confused. Thanks very much for the reply. Would you still recommend following all the other tips for optimising builds?

[@OwnModeGaming]

@@Pope_of_Novigrad Most are still accurate and I really tried to cover the thinking behind the tip because it's more likely to be still true even if the mechanic changes. I would recommend watching the updated video to make sure you're on right track... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGPEaaOKl6qHibMsi=-65LJ8wdu-QS73jW

[@hmmbangluna5865]

Hello again. Can you make a video on world bosses? Spawn time, how to hunt them, where to find them etc. I still don’t understand the world boss mechanics, i can’t find them on the map after the countdown. Thank you!

[@OwnModeGaming]

The biggest thing is going to be when they spawn. Just go to this link: maxroll.gg/d4/map-tool and at the top under the navigation you'll see the countdown timers. The one on the far right will say what world boss is next and how many minutes till the appear. Then below that you will see the map, type in "world boss" in the search, on the left side of the map, and it will highlight the world boss events on the map. The Icon is the yellow and orange double triangles. Let me know if this help.

[@sliceablepillow9686]

You also wont be able to see the icon until you beat the campaign

[@chicknwing2742]

Hopefully this video won't be totally obsolete in season 4 with all the itemization and system changes coming.

[@OwnModeGaming]

I hope so too! It's surprising when I watch my old videos, it either seems like everything has changed or nothing. I'm looking forward to season 4 and if enough changes, I'll probably do an update video.

[@MightyMouthDFT]

If you are solo do not rush to world tier 4 and stay there stay wt3 do nm dungeons that you can do quickly and level as fast as possible. You get less XP but you will survive and kill faster. If you are dying every mob or taking 15 swings to kill as opposed to 3 swings you are taking 5x the time to get 2 x XP so you are actually getting less XP per hour. As soon as you hit 60 get any ancestrals n you are good for wt4 n rdy to level there. If you got lucky got aspects you need and good gear then maybe level 50 you can do wt4

[@OwnModeGaming]

Yeah, that is solid. If you are dying constantly definitely drop a world tier it's not worth it time-wise. I usually aim to hit wt3 at about 45 and hitting wt4 at 60 seems perfect. Thanks for the great add, I appreciate it!

[@MightyMouthDFT]

@@OwnModeGaming it's great if someone can power level you but if you need your capstone done for you odds are the next WT ain't for you yet. Also pushing NM dungeons early is pointless stick with someone you can do easily if 10 lvls above you is easy it's certainly optimal but if you can only consistently clear 2 lvls higher than you quickly stay their your patience will be rewarded especially if in a group having troubles remember you gain more XP from mobs higher lvl but you gain zero XP while you're dead. Just thought I'd add that in great video keep it up. Wish D4 was in S4 already so player count would go back up soooo boring by my lonesome haha

[@scuderia9215]

But I thought it's recommended to not start wt4 until level 70+?? I didn't have enough stats or power to even think about wt4 until then

[@MightyMouthDFT]

@@scuderia9215 well with ancestrals lvl 60 now it's much easier

[@MightyMouthDFT]

@@scuderia9215 what I suggest is get 60 get to WT 4 if you can go to temple of rot strong hold do not complete it there is a chest in the back go grab it in wt 4 go to safe spot log out log in repeat to get few quick ancestrals or nice legendaries. May take a few tries but you should find decent gear within 10-20 tries also always check th shop at the top of every hour you would be surprised what kinda gear you can find in there 3 Dr pants perf rolled amulets all kinds of things.

[@dvl973]

I think upgrading items to level 3 is unnecessarily high, usually the price for upgrade level 3 enters the diminishing returns territory

[@OwnModeGaming]

I only do that when I'm getting ready for capstones

[@captainfirst8527]

however, the stat isn't related to the gear score, 925 didn't means all stat is closer to the max value. still RNG, generally, they are not useful or higher enough for going to be able to play level 100. i can play fairly enough on level 94, still haven't tried a level 100 dungeon once

[@OwnModeGaming]

No, it just means that the higher and lower RNG are higher than lower item level items. So, if the range on an affix for a lower item level item is 7-15 it might be 12-20 for a higher item level.

[@xvnbm]

I just understood that I am not going to learn this stuff to be able to continue this game properly. I finished the story mode, now I will buy Elden Ring DLC.

[@zignetvs]

You can’t learn this? He makes a video to teach. If you can’t follow step by step I can’t imagine how you can even pay rent or cook a dinner or tie your shoes… this game is more simple than Minecraft juuuuust saying.

[@xvnbm]

@@zignetvs The difference is that I need to cook and pay for my house, but I don't have to play this game.

[@theroachmotel]

An item level 860 (your example) can def be better than 925 due to RNG. So I don't agree that you NEED 925. For something like your primary weapon for dps, yes but not others. Another example is a hota barb all the single handed weapons and two handed slashing weapon, it literally makes no difference.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Except the ranges on all affixes have a higher upper limits as the item level increases. That being said all affixes are rng and could roll the lower end of the range. So, if a 925 has an affix on it that rolls the lower end of its range, then an 860 rolls the top end of its range that stat could be higher, but if a 925 rolls it’s max then the 860 can’t match it.

[@OwnModeGaming]

And that is true the DPS on non active weapons does not count to the damage totals, but it’s affixes can.

[@theroachmotel]

@OwnModeGaming right my point being you can have a higher rng roll 860 than a lower rng roll 925. If you only look for 925 I think you could be missing a lot of good stuff. Albeit saving a lot of sanity/time

[@OwnModeGaming]

​@@theroachmotel Totally agree. I was for the longest time a completionist, which is a totally valid way to play as long as you enjoy it. I just found that sometimes checking every item cost me so much extra time that if it was better to find a more targeted strategy, then I could get what I ultimately wanted faster. So, in this case I'm trying to min/max for endgame, so I want to shoot for the items that are most likely to get me there. Then you add the resources for upgrading and enchanting, so if you save those material only for items that have even a chance at the highest range, then I just shoot for those. That's how I got there. I might be passing up smaller improvements but in most runs I end up with a set of ancestrals between 820-870 as my first set and then replace all those with 925 as soon as I can. Also, I really appreciate the comments. I enjoy people that are excited about the games they play, so thank you!

[@SGordievsky]

@@OwnModeGaming You're not completely true here. Most of gear affixes have tiers. For example, crit chance range will be the same for 925 and 880 item level. I didn't remember where top tier starts, I think it's around item level 860. There are few exceptions for this. First, damage for weapons and armor for gear are increasing with item level without tiers. It's only important for weapons, as all damage modifiers scales from base weapon damage. Several more points in armor didn't make much difference. Second, there are few affixes that doesn't have tiers, but mostly not important ones like Thorns. Long story short: only items that really must me 925 is your weapon with which you deal damage.

[@ricogaming2047]

why put gems in the game if the gems are not worth it is what i dont understand

[@RichardPain3]

I think he means the material cost to add a socket. If there is already a socket, throw them in.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Also, that is a note for early game (pre world tier 3)

[@codyowens7099]

Nmd 50 isnt a reliable source for 925 items im doing teir 60s and there still fairly elusive

[@OwnModeGaming]

I have since retested that. The drops you get during the run are almost never 925s but the handful you get at completion of a NMD tend to drop higher item levels. It looks like they start dropping more 925s in the high 50s but way more consistent in 60+ and extremely solid in the 70+, but that is still only the completion drops.

[@codyowens7099]

@@OwnModeGaming ah I can't get that high yet I'm using a tb rogue and they're just way too squishy for that high of tier and there's not too much you can do about it in terms of defense

@@OwnModeGaming never thought of that, guess its just me justifying my mistakes 😂 nice guide

[@SynysterProjects]

I feel like your points regarding progressing world tiers and completing capstone dungeons are kind of pointless. Maybe I just happened to discover a pretty good build on my own early on, maybe Necromancer is just really good early game and for capstones, but I had no issue at all unlocking Torment and I didn't even try to prepare for the Capstones. Just jumped in and did them easily. Edit: I should mention the jump from Nightmare to Torment is FAR more difficult than from Normal to Nightmare. I had to completely respec my character immediately after jumping into Torment for the first time. So not completely pointless, just specifically the Capstones aren't hard. Edit 2: your tip about not collecting all aspects is about to become very outdated lol S4 is making huuuuuuge changes to the way the Codex of Power and extracting Aspects work. You're probably going to want to collect them all in preparation for that.

[@OwnModeGaming]

Love hearing your take, my friend. I also don't believe that the capstones are hard. Especially, if you are going in at the levels they recommend but can get far more difficult the lower the level you enter. The build can definitely affect this. Lightning ball Sorc had not problem going in 10 levels early for capstone 1 and 20+ levels for capstone 2. As for the outdated, that is just the nature of doing tip based KZbin videos. Sometimes a video only lasts a week and other times it will last months. My plan is to do an update video video next season when I have enough testing in to do it justice. Next Season is going to be awesome! Did you play any of the PTR?

i dont think your saving that much time by marking as junk vs just breaking them down 1 at a time. it takes time to make too.

You definitely do over time you're taking out more then half the clicks and you just have to float over an item and hit a hot key vs click on each item and then click on the prompt one at a time. That being said, always do it how you want or enjoy! Have a great one!

[@SongBirdCocktails]

Says you. I find this extremely helpful

[@seancraig8711]

lol duh

[@AleXelerate8]

Why not 850?

[@OwnModeGaming]

It's really an issue for min/max but the top range of any affix on an 850 will be less than the max on a 925 and if that is happening on every piece it really adds up.

[@AleXelerate8]

@@OwnModeGaming Next season for sure because of the nerfs for damage reduction. 865 now though has the same stat ranges as a 925 if I understand it correctly. Weapons should prioritize 925 first. Dmg reduction between those 2 ranges are like 2% so a full gear of that really does add up! Just recently had a convo like this with a friend. Forgot where the actual drop-off was.

[@jamesgrainger5391]

At least NMD 80+ drops 925 also 😬

[@OwnModeGaming]

Thanks, man! Is that in just the end drops or is that any drop? Also, curious if it is all drops is that the first level they drop during the middle of the run. If you don't know, don't worry. It would just save me a test.

[@jamesgrainger5391]

No worries bud and it's any drop until the end where you get the rewards

[@MrBritishbacon]

I’d temper first. You can infinitely (expensive sure..) on enchantments, but tempers are limited No point spending the money on enchantments without the tempers you want

[@OwnModeGaming]

For endgame min max I fully agree. The tempering is the only chance of bricking a solid legendary. I had 3 greater affix item ruined more than once on bad tempering. More than one on 5 rolls of the same temper even though it was one of three possible.

"if your trying to play the game yourself instead of letting someone else play it and learn all the information and copy it your wasting your time" 😂 why would you do it yourself and learn how to actually play when you can copy what somebody that's better than you that has more time to spend on it... At that point why not just not even download the game you can just watch KZbin videos of other people playing it. Boom now your perfect at it and never even had to play it 🤷

[@OwnModeGaming]

Ultimately, I believe people can play however they want. If you want to play a game without any outside input, then enjoy. If other people want to check out videos and get pointers, then they can do that and, yes, there is even a fairly large group of people that just watch others play. I think we need to get to a point where our way of playing is not something we need to defend and that we don't have to criticize if others want to do it differently. This was all supposed to be for fun and we have made it so combative.

[@SynysterProjects]

Personally, I prefer to take my time at the start of a game, learn what my character can do, learn how I can alter their playstyles to fit my preferences, and I take very, very little outside input because the first playthrough is something very personal to me. Very rarely do I share that experience, and only with a very few select number of people, i.e. Elden Ring with my best friend, the one and only time I have done co-op on my first playthru of a Souls game, or MH Rise with multiple friends, but even then I usually tried hunting a monster at least once before doing it co-op. Once my first playthrough is complete as thoroughly as I can by myself, then I'll start looking up build guides, secrets, etc.

[@Eazyaz1234]

Right my thing though honestly isn't that I don't think anybody should look up tips and stuff to get better I just don't think you should be able to just copy a load out and go point by point through other people's specs just to be given the easy W bc at that point that's all your doing and it makes it worth less to the people that do it on there own that actually put in the time effort research and actual play skills when I put 10,000 hours in a game to get to the point I'm at and you get there in 30 hours only bc your copying what it took thousands of hours for me to learn bc I did it the hard way ya know it's like looking at a self made millionaire and comparing them to someone Born into millions

[@SynysterProjects]

@@Eazyaz1234 I don't necessarily agree that it makes it pointless for people to figure stuff out themselves. I see this controversy a lot in Yugioh too. The meta players think the only way to play is to copy/paste the best decks, and the casuals think that meta builds are ruining the game. In both fandoms, people need to realize that we can have both. There can be people like you and me who try to figure everything out ourselves, and that is valuable to us. And there can be people who look up meta builds while their game is still downloading, and that's fine too. At the end of the day, it's people like you and me who discover the OP shit, or we find tweaks to the OP shit that is just as viable. Without us, the meta wouldn't even exist.
