Diablo 4 - Top Tips on when & how to progress to Torment Difficulty

[@None38389]

I was struggling with capstone Elias on my first run as rogue at level 60, died about 20 times, and then I got a drop with an aspect that gives me 300 heal per second if I have full stack momentum, I decided to give it a try and basically changed my whole build around it. And then I went back in, face-tanked Elias the whole fight and did it in one try, barely even had to move. Adjusting your build can make a huge difference sometimes.

[@persies4397]

That potion is actually crazy for doing the capstone. My brother was struggling and that pushed him through. Great video and tips as always!

[@IplayTeemoasaWard]

Blew my mind when someone said the little armor potion gives more ele res in all categories than a specific ele res potion. Been hording Iron skin ever since haha

[@jamesnapier3802]

For casual players, in contrast to professional players such as you, doing the Torment capstone at anything below level 70 is impossible.

[@lucianp.2587]

Also my first thing to do on torment below lvl 70 was Legion Events. That was the first thing to do after capstone. I was 65. And i got all my 4 weaps upgrade from there (i play barb). The events go fast, take little time, and drop a lot of yellows, and there are enough ancestrals. And while i was crunching numbers, enchanting and applying aspects on items, the next legion event was up.

[@galeru]

I collected all the renown and went straight to try world tier 4. It was around level 62. You don't have to worry about getting there, especially on softcore. And after got to torment, I just geared up by leeching at helltides.

[@hyteclowlife]

Don't even need to leech. Go back down to nightmare, do helltide and get enough for the mystery chest, then log out and log back into torment. Open chests and profit.

[@Sirmartinii]

[@CaecoAequitas1]

you can also use 2 incense, levels 1 and 2 to stack armor and life respectively for even more ease

[@zacmunroe5534]

Doing the capstone at 60 (softcore, numerous deaths!) for the first time was a really fun challenge.

[@Nazylexx]

Me (Druid 59) and my Sorc friend (64) we managed to get him to 20% but we had to take break. But next day we killed him already, fun fight ;-)

[@RandomGuy-ghs]

I did it with my friend using wudi’s dash+shadow step build at level 62. My 61 necro friend just kept dying because of lack of mobility and I kinda soloed it towards the end lol

[@cygnusy1481]

Got him at 58 sorc, after 12 or so tries. Tbf, I died simultaneously. Thank goodness the game registered the kill lol.

[@The_HoneyBadger]

I move on to Torment when I can consistently run lvl 20 nightmare dungeons.

[@donallen8212]

Dude, you are AMAZING!!!! That jerk kept one shotting me at 64 (Necro)...this elixir pushed me over the edge! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!

[@pmgpc69]

Thank you for the tip Wudijo. I used it to help my character beat Elias which opened up T4. The armor is now 400 instead of 900 since patch 1.1.0. It was 400 when I used it but it helped.

[@austingoldinger7943]

Cheese helltides by playing in WT3, collecting 175, swap to wt4 amd collect chest

[@mrblack6439]

I usually pray the chest is not surrounded.

[@HDGaminTutorials]

Just better to do it on world tier 4 cause you can get even more ancestrals

[@GrownManPat]

Ancestral items drop less when you are below 70. I went to WT4 on a lvl 61 rogue. Did helltide and opened 4 mystery chest. Got 2 ancestral items. This method is just not worth it. Either you can farm WT4 efficiently or not.

[@jahlim]

thank you for the tips ! really needing this for my HC

[@paulogazolla7488]

bro, i am lvl 66 rogue, and you already have more attack and defense than me... thats why you are the professor!!

[@islnds]

thanks for sharing! so during the transition phase - I also find it effective to farm 350+ abhorrent cinders in helltide (in nightmare) then switch to torment for the 175 turn-ins. ofc eventually just farming torment is easier -- but it's just for that transitionary point where you aren't quite stronk enough

[@vitus9864]

Doesnt the cinders reset when changing tier though?

[@Oswanov]

​​@@vitus9864ope, cinders stay between tiers. Only problem with that approach is that, in my experience, there are just way fewer people doing WT3, who can help especially with events.

doing elias at level 49 was a mistake. but i did it. and i am happy.

[@mineralbunny8736]

The only two times I ever drank the 900 armor potion… my game D/Ced or crashed :( feels bad.

[@mroutcast8515]

It's crazy how many people doesn't realize how big of an impact level difference between you and mobs has - because it changes defense effectiveness for both sides. Your defenses lose effectiveness due to underlevel and monsters gain defense effectiveness due to overlevel. That's why pushing NM dungeons gets absurdly difficult, not because mobs get stronger at higher level - which they do a little but as much as impact of the level difference.

[@TheJols]

there is level scaling in nightmare dungeons?

[@TheWormChad]

i dont think this is the case, i trieed to google it and found nothing about this. send source or your full of BS

[@mroutcast8515]

@@TheWormChad just the test it yourself on your own skin by opening 20 levels higher NM dungeon, and then check in 20 levels with the same amount of armor. You'll be surprised how of a sudden you barely take any damage with the same stats while previously everything was 1 shotting you.

[@d1vin1ty]

​​@@TheWormChadan I find the actual source? No. But blizz has stated this in multiple dev talks on their defensive stat orientation that armor has reduced efficiency against higher level mobs. The game even goes so far as to state "against mobs your level" but absolutely for details look through the dev talks.

On Necromancer on all builds I have tried the capstone dungeons are very easy. Definitely doable at least 8 levels early.

I pushed it with 56 yesterday and soon realized it wasnt worth it when the ancestrals dropped lvl60 req. dour vid came a day late for me 😂

I just cleared it on level 60 with less stronger character than yours. Your dt/tb guide really helped me to progress through the game !

[@davidneraas750]

I did it at level 66 i thought it was going to be harder than it was the only enemy threat were the exploding fallen enemies had to bait them to explode;)).

[@pushbutton2live]

fire and lightning resistances when you get to the elias fight help a great deal. pop a potion for one and maybe an inscense or some gems on the jewelry for the other and youll be taking a lot less damage from his attacks

[@DoffnutProductions]

very helpful, thanks!

Im at torment since lvl 65. Got some ancestrals My problem tho is. Nothing drops with stats i need for TB build :/ always random pointless things..

[@quintensteffens1942]

Just did this capstone at level 53 with my sorcerer (ice shards build) yesterday, died a lot during the boss fight but it is possible to solo him if you know the mechanics well. It helps to sub flameshield into one of your enchantment slots!

Congrats but I’m confused what the rush is. I just got to world 3 myself at 50 and seems like there is a lot to do.

[@quintensteffens1942]

@@edvaedan9161 there's a lot to do for sure. But I find same level content to be too easy, I can just facetank the bosses and won't die. It's more exciting to play versus enemies that actually hurt you because it's more engaging - you will start to play in a different way and pay more attention. Maybe not for everyone but I enjoy that.

[@petlemons]

@@quintensteffens1942 @edvaedan9161 I also just cleared solo this last night as a 58 sorc (arc-lash). I got some lucky drops in my first 2 nightmare dungeons. For my 3rd dungeon I crafted a 16-20 to see how it would feel. I could have done it blindfolded. I tried the capstone because farming NM16-20 for 6 more levels felt like it was going to be a slog. Also, because of my lucky drops, I had nearly perfect gear. The chances of me getting a useful drop in wt3 was pretty low.

Lvl 60 solo rogue, went okay in lvl 3 capstone dungeon until meeting Elias...numerous 1 shot deaths, couldn't defeat him so guess I'm not ready 😞, I really want to defeat him solo rather than enlisting help from higher level characters. Well, back to the grind I guess.

[@rdsgaming3861]

@wudijo Any Tips or maybe a guide on how to level alts? especially solo?

[@yowfu]

im at level 61 shadow rogue and damage is not a problem against 75ish elites or bosses but they can still one shot me so. elixir is pretty useful but the most important investing on paragon armors with glyphs give rare or magic node buffs to them etc. that makes a difference if u know what to do with glyph synergies

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

thanks, useful Comment for the Skull Throne

[@Match0Man]

Iron skin elixir can be found in tortured Gifts during Helltides

[@Constantinch]

The brown circles on Elias were the biggest issue for me. All of them oneshoted and were almost invisible. But I had standard Barb elixir instead of iron skin so maybe that's why.

[@tiborkote]

I died there lot of times too were quite low, around L62 or so. Later on tried with my friend we were L65-68, again died in fire at 20%.

[@walczak9862]

I think to fix risistences they should just buff the sorcs resistance making it make up for its lack of armor and have the other classes get resistance from potions because to be honest rolling an item with a resistance to a certain affix is soooo situational and completely based on what enemies you’re fighting so i think it just makes way more sense for that stat to be tied to only potions

[@danhall5761]

Not situational they always suck 🤣

[@Skizzy29]

The extra 20 paragon points from renown is huge but i just cant be asked to do 100 side quests

[@Edward-ym8nq]

Do the dungeons instead, much easier, if done together with all the waypoints, map discoveries and etc, you barely have to do more than 10/zone, and some of the side quests only take a couple minutes - sometimes faster than dungeons.

[@calvinwilson3617]

A much more fun way to approach renown is just look at the dungeons that are for whispers, and complete any that you havent yet. Every two dungeons will get you a reward cache so it feels much better IMO

[@Edward-ym8nq]

@@calvinwilson3617 Yeah, agreed double dipping is king, I've pretty much only done whispers when they contributed towards renown, pretty much got 20+ dungeons/zone that way.

Perfect timing on this video. I just killed Elias as a 55 twist in blades, poison trap rogue on an alt and I wanted to run around and get ancestral gear but I guess I’ll farm five more levels before moving up to four world tier 4.

[@burns0100]

I hope someone figures out how much armour we need to soft cap it or when to stop using Aspect of Disobedience. It's the little things like this that I am clueless on. I mean at the moment I've made my own Rogue build and on WT4 even on the level 90 world bosses when I'm only level 70~ I can just face tank them. Actually I even sat in Uber Lilith for a while and took a couple of her hits so I question if I've gone too tanky and if I should pick up some more damage perks now. Though I have no issue killing stuff either. WT4 just seems easy.

damage reduction has diminishing returns. you're better off stacking offensive stats to kill things faster after a certain amount of DR.

@@TickerSymbolYOU DR does NOT have any diminishing returns. if it says it reduces damage by x %, it reduces damage by that % no matter how much DR you have stacked, and your effective health will increase by the same %, or in some cases, even more, no matter how much DR is stacked.

I'm guessing they increased the world tier 4 starting level from 70 to 75 for the season then? It was quite the shock when I did the capstone dungeon with zero problems on lvl 58 and now every single monster including overworld ones was lvl 75.. I mean my barb is absurdly tanky and could handle it, but it's still rough. Especially since Death Blow doesn't hit elites/champions hard enough, it only gets bonus against bosses, so high HP elites take FOREVER to kill... it's handy against boss ngl, I got jumped by lvl 75 Butcher as lvl 61 and managed to kill him in 2 beefed up Death Blows, but if my barb wasn't so damn tanky I wouldn't survive those 20 seconds for the next vulnerable window. (I really do hope they change Death Blow to elites and up and not just bosses... 1-2shotting a boss but taking 3 minutes to whittle down an elite is downright embarrassing, and makes running nightmare dungeons for glyph levels and XP a massive pain)
