Great breakdown Wilford!

[@WilfridWong]

Thanks buddy! I got a feedback last season and I am trying to do a better job this season hahaha.

[@Burnlit1337]

So about "Harbinger Prioritized" at around 16:00, I somehow was able to get it even when I killed some of the minions. At first, I tried running away from the Melee Word Bearer champions, since the harbinger themselves moved as fast as my 150% battle sister. This allowed me to separate the harbingers from the minions, and yet I didn't even lose aggro even though I was not hitting them. Once I thought the minions were gone, I attacked. However, their minions were still coming and I'm running a Hand Flamer & Rod build; so AOEing the minions is unavoidable. So I focused down the habringers (both of them) and somehow got the objective. On the way back to where I found them I found a trail of minions. TLDR: Maybe all you have to do to complete this is to kill the Harbinger before killing all or most of their minions. Or maybe this is bugged or something lol. Anyway thanks for the awesome guide. I'm new to this game(just brought it when they sold the entire game and dlcs for a total of 25$) and this is my 1st season with this game. Your guides have been very helpful to me.

[@WilfridWong]

I think Harbinger Prioritised is going to be a painful one for me! I think some actually completed it by "accident". One guy did it at level 1 lol.

[@WilfridWong]

Hey buddy. I've tried your method. It works like a charm! Thank you.

[@ItsTruble]

I got that portrait instantly, so quick when I made a tech-adept i figured it came with the class. lol

[@WilfridWong]

You are so lucky haha. You would need a similar luck for Ultimate Escalation!

[@revs9623]

I bought the game 2 days ago and got the Circlet of Vainglory. I was unaware of how rare it was till now... sheesh

[@WilfridWong]

Congrats! Enjoy season 6 fellow Inquisitor.

I can't play it says my email is verified already but it won't let me click play

[@nwoizaakgoldmann4519]

Hi thanks for the video but i have a quastion. I started the season yesterday and in the Tier I objectives is a point where you have to take a enhancement spell. It is a consumable item but I do not know where to get it from

[@WilfridWong]

Hey buddy. Easiest way is to buy a mind reset from the vendor at your ship and consume it for your future skill tree reset. You may refer to my guide here www.wilfridwong.com/2022/03/07/warhammer-40k-inquisitor-martyr-season-guide/

[@nwoizaakgoldmann4519]

@@WilfridWong Thanks mate, thats a great info. Keep up your good work.

[@declivis3753]

Didn't realize that portrait was so rare. Got it around level 20 heh. Lucky I guess

[@ghostwolf3292]

Yeah, I got it pretty early on myself also. Didn't even realize that I had gotten it until someone said it drops...

[@Burnlit1337]

Yeah me too, @ around lvl 25. No idea what it was when I got the notification but now I know! Now I'm rocking it.

[@WilfridWong]

Y'all are so lucky! I am at level 50 and yet to see one :D

[@WilfridWong]

OK! Got mine today haha.

[@ZiPouet]

Used to play that game when it released... So much has changed... Would you recommend that I skip campaign as I have a 70 character with finished campaigns from past? Or do you believe I should rather make the campaign again? I must admit I don't really understand how all the new things work and I hope it won't be a learning curve as PoE is when you go back after many years... :/

[@WilfridWong]

Hey buddy. I don't think in terms of time commitment, it would make too much of a difference between skipping campaign or completing the campaign. If you wish to relive the story narration, by all means, you should. Or if you feel that you've had enough on the same story again and again, you can skip too. If you have questions, feel free to ask here. I will do my best to answer! For the Emperor!

[@ZiPouet]

@@WilfridWong Actually my reasoning is more towards missing gameplay elements that are not in the core game compared to the season. I actually bought Prophecy cause I thought it'd add the new itemization for example. Maybe am I wrong? On my 70 character from vanilla, most of my my legs do not have special orange ability for example. Yesterday I tried starting a season lvl1 character skipping the campaign. It was boring as hell to just choose missions from the big pool. It seemed very long to lvl up to 70 this way. Maybe I'm missing an easier way to level up? And when you're 70 what do you recommend then? Making 70 lvl missions and using cards to make them better exp rewarding? Something key to know? There you go that's a lot of points for you to answer;) Thx!!

[@WilfridWong]

Season 6 does have special features (such as random enchantment and able to lock 3 out of 6), collecting escalation points to generate season missions, season specific items including shards. Prophecy DLC add new chapters (incl. new maps and enemies) to the core game, also a new class Tech-Priest. That's what most people would buy the Prophecy DLC for. And with Sororitas DLC, we have another new class called Battle Sister but with no new stories. Skipping campaign means that you have to play random missions. You may gain a few levels by completing one mission at early level. Like I've said, time commitment-wise is the same getting through story or skip campaign. I would focus on the seasonal objectives rather than counting levels :) In any case, after story ends, you still would need to do Void Crusade / Intels / War Zone / etc. to get to level 100. The initial grind to level 70 isn't that bad. Currently I am working through the reputation so I am not counting levels really. Best way to get XP after level 70+ is through Intel with full deck of tarot cards and or seals (x3), preferably with the meme virus consumable (using one of the tarot cards increases chance of that drops). Grouping with others also increases XP. For gear upgrade though, I would stick to Void Crusade and/or War Zone. They tend to reward better gears (rather than XP). Hence, I usually just alternate between these game modes, which is good I guess. No one game model wins for the journey of level 70 to 100.

[@ZiPouet]

@@WilfridWong Ok, thanks, I did not understand everything but I believe it's normal as the game changed so much. My conclusion is that I should do the campaig, it'll guide me a bit while I'll be gathering game knowledge again. I like to play assassin whirlwind, would you have a good video build that still works in v2.7? :)

[@Nostromo2144]

I wonder which class Wilfrid will play first this season... 🤔 Finally, skip campaign option, yay! Wish PoE had that too eh. Favourite items is good - most mmos have that no-sell/scrap tick as standard. Higher seasonal objectives look mad...I'll never get there, but I guess it doesn't matter if I'm playing a new class, as that will continue in standard eventually. Thanks Wilfrid - you might see me on a hawt Sororitass in a couple days, sneak up behind you & scare the crap out of you lol! ;)

[@WilfridWong]

Mine has got to be Battle Sister hahaha. Come play season to experience the season mechanic. Even if you don't complete a season, that's okay. You will get the hang of it eventually. Like my D3 season. This game's season is a lot more doable than say PoE's one, tbh.

[@DieKao]

The portrait seems stupidly bugged. Everyone gets it before lvl 20. Which makes no sense. And I don't have the bug. So no portrait. And I'll probably wont get it the entire season.

[@WilfridWong]

Oh is that so? That makes the two of us then :D I haven't got one yet and now I am at level 50!

[@DerGeistDesKriegers]

Funny, I got the portait frame within 20 minutes of playtime

[@WilfridWong]

Congrats! Now. Good luck with Ultimate Escalation seasonal objective 🤭

[@helvis7336]

destructions reach seems useless for most weapons. sniper rifles seem like what they would be good for but that it.

[@WilfridWong]

True. Limited to niche build options.

[@arthurcurry850]

"major content update'' I mean same game, same builds that all use same aura ( only 2 auras STILL in the game). How can you be excited for this >D

[@WilfridWong]

Well. This is the first season you no longer need to go through the same story to level up (Ordos and Morality included). This is also the first season whereby the new class Battle Sister has joined the game. In addition, the season mechanic is the most complex of all (and am hoping that it will get even more in depth in future!). The new shards add new build options revolving around resources. There are many things to get excited for this season. The only thing I dread is one of the seasonal objective Ultimate Escalation. That really shouldn't be in the game, to be honest.

[@arthurcurry850]

@@WilfridWong i understand this sounds good when presented like that, but its bi where near to major CONTENT update. Idc i have higher standards since i was playing poe for years. I consider expansion as major content updatw

[@WilfridWong]

Different gamers may look at different things in a aRPG I guess. I played PoE in the past. I agree with you that PoE leagues are more like expansion. And they need that for a F2P game. I don't see such update in D3 season either. Neither Inquisitor nor D3 are F2P game so I guess the development cycle (and what motivates them) is very different. Then again, when was the last time PoE has a new class, though one could argue that class concept in PoE is very different.

[@arthurcurry850]

@@WilfridWong uh class argument is really not even close to comparable. You have 5 classes in WH. In poe you have 6 x 3. So to say when was the last time poe had new class is ridicules argument. Btw 18 new classes are coming woth poe 2, but thats besides the point. Also clearly who ever makes w40k doesnt have aspirations to grow. So thats that

[@WilfridWong]

I really am not sure why you even compare PoE with Warhammer Inquisitor. I play both games. At one point I really love PoE. Just that Inquisitor is more assessable. It is a sandbox game that you are freely to figure out a build that you enjoy playing, without having to follow others’ builds or trade for items. It has lesser time commitment. And doesn’t require you to keep up to date with all the league mechanics. If you enjoy PoE, by all means it is one of the most in-depth ARPG in recent times. I enjoy D3 and Inquisitor more with the later has better depth and more freedom compared to the former. As you can see, I play plenty of other games too. PoE was fun. But not what I enjoy in a long run. Happy that you enjoy PoE though. Again, different gamer different needs.
