BROKEN! Increase your Aspects Power! Which ones? Snapshotting! - Diablo 4 Season 2

[@Xarrio]

Edit: See Part 2 to find out how to even better use this snapshotting bug! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnOvooSvedmggZo Clarification: You do not need to attack a mob for accelerating snapshot to work. Simply swap your weapon when you enter the dungeon and you are good to go. I only attacked to demonstrate the before and after. Let me know if you guys discover other aspects that it works for! Edit: Edgemaster, Rapid and Umbrous does not snapshot.

I was trying understand rob, but this is just so simple and easy to follow, shorter too

[@kylekilgore291]

@FrankytheFishhrob does shitty stuff to piss people off therefor people talk about him and he gets views. It’s a common meta amongst CC, be controversial and piss people off = more views and free press. Hopefully rob will eventually get banned or cancelled in some way.

[@palsoltesz9967]

rob shouldnt have any after this season.. all those exploit and cheating, chinese grouping, qq-ing for glyph boosting .. @FrankytheFishh

[@ATST990]

This definitely works in outdoor zones too. You do NOT need to zone to make this work. You simply make sure you dont have either item on. Equip the weapon with the big buff first. The ring or what ever second, then unequip the weapon and you will have the buff. Tested this at the dummy and at the blood harvest for elements and attack speed and good to go on both.

[@d4mephisto]

That's wild. But based on how we assume this interaction is working, it makes sense that it would work in the outdoor zones, too. Thanks for the helpful comment!

[@gabrielmarques89]

Yes ! This. Just to complete, the "link" resets after teleporting or getting into a safe zone

I literally just looked at your channel for a snapshot video and now here we go. This is perfect! Thanks!

I was going to ask about disobedience but you had already done the test. Excellent job as usual.

[@Mercenary-1914]

I love how my brain was like...Oh snap gonna do this with Disobedience, and 3 seconds later.....A pop up excel snap shot with Disobedience. NO! ...tahahaha

[@kylekilgore291]

Btw can you look into “inner calm aspect scaling the new glyph?” I could be wrong but inner calm scales your all dmg stat directly so the more all dmg you have the stronger inner calm aspect gets, without inner calm I’m at 700% all dmg but with it I get over 1000% all dmg. Seems to be this aspect is going to be one of the strongest aspects for barbs or anyone who can stand still in a pack of monsters for 3 seconds safely I’m also not the best at d4 (far from it) I could be wrong about this aspect, it just caught my eye when playing around with different aspects and noticed it scales the glyphs dmg bucket.

[@kostistsiutras4373]

safely? its the season of the selig out here! xD

[@kylekilgore291]

@@kostistsiutras4373 selig is stupid strong but you also need to have good gear and the right passives, you can’t be bad and just throw selig on and clear a t15 BUT selig helps good players who understand how to maximize its immortality along with dmg potential

[@kostistsiutras4373]

yeah agreed on your points! but hey i cleared T18 today and tomorrow im pushin for T19.. bein a trador saved a lot of time.. that means capped gold at 9.999.999.999 and about 17 billion in Duriel materials, farmed non stop about 4.100 Duriel runs till i got all the ubers in the game and then simply bought all the items worth of multi-billions with every attribute 99%-100% then i min maxed my paragons made every single glyph lvl 21 in the game and started pushin AoZ, currently glyph at lvl25 and placed it into carnage board with every skill point possible checked @@kylekilgore291

[@firerunner1]

would be kinda crazy if this stuff would work on the Battle-Mad aspect for barbs. (after swapping weapons 10 times, gain berserking for 3.5 (or 7.0)seconds). if it snapshots the 7 seconds, you can basically have 100% uptime on berserking, and maybe you dont even need the wrath of the berserker anymore.

[@firerunner1]

could possibly mean that Shako can get replaced by Joritz again :P when you compare them, it could be Joritz that beats shako. Joritz effect covers the CooldownReduction from shako and adds 15% [x] damage shako effect gives 20% damage reduction, Joritz 16% while berserking, Joritz loses by 4%. shako gives 4 skill, i was told, and this is really not tested by myself is roughly 20% damage increase. but through the 20max fury on Joritz, Hota can do 20% increased damage aswell. shako also gives a good amount of HP, Joritz gives a good amount of dmg while berserking. and lastly the stats attackspeed from Joritz vs the all stats on shako, all stats is always good, but the attackspeed would add alot of damage because weapon swaps benefit greatly from that. the 2 last stats are probably what you prefer yourself :P sadly i'm just a dumb fuck that has the weirdest shit popping up in my head that im not smart enough for to work out :P but its just my 2 cents XD

[@clancyparsons9705]

So I think mage lords works on amulet and armor . Might be wrong , but I know that vyrs mastery will get you the mage lords bonus and you can swap to overwhelming currents and benefit from 2 passives at once .

[@steveshillingburg]

Thanks buddy. I love these mechanics videos!

[@MrAngryfatkid]

I tested rapid aspect (basic attack increase) and it didn't work. I will test conceited, blurred beast and stormclaw today. Seem like it might work for aspects that are not active at zone in, but then become active.

Conceited, blurred beast and stormclaw do not work

great video man i wonder if i can snap shot the shockwave aspect for pulverize so i could also use the uber staff lol

[@Lascael]

Hi, first thank you for all those tests and precious explanations. I have a question for you, did you test Doom Bringer's unique effect, it have been said that the proc and so it's DR are not working as it should. I am very interested to hear your take on that.

[@bebopsi]

How does Retaliation snapshot work? Same simple zone in or do you have to gain some fortify first?

[@PizzaTime727]

At this point in the season, it's really hard to tell what Blizzard will or will not allow (Selig had it's mini nerf in PVP only). But for me, I just chalk it up to having some busted systems in the game. D3 had it's own snapshotting too. Bit too much of a hassle in every other place than AoZ I think.

[@RandomNumberGaming]

Insane . Thank you

[@benjaminb5232]

[@Cuzano]

This season is loosing more and more fun to me. It's so buggy everywhere and imbalanced² that all the original intention of "having a choice" gets obsoleted. If you want to push competitive as a Rogue, you have to use Tibault's, exploit Ravenous and now even snapshot your aspects. It's ridiculous that a class only can compete with Barbs and Sorcs because of using so many bugs and exploits. Anyway, thanks for Testing @Xarrio 🙂

[@d4mephisto]

As a Druid (Stormclaw/Pulverize -- I have two 100 Druids lol) player, I feel you. Druids have ONE thing -- Blurred Beast, which may be bugged/unintended/simply stronger than the devs would like it to be -- that allows us to even remotely compete. Barbs are ridiculous right now, and I can admit that b/c I have a Barb myself alongside my two Druids. I know how strong HotA is because my HotA Barb, who has Grandfather, Shako, Doombringer, and Selig, can roflstomp the same thing my Druid struggles with :( I think the devs messed up doing the big pre-season-1 nerf patch that pissed off everybody, but I think they ALSO screwed up when they apologized and promised they'd never nerf things again. The apology was good, but the promise to never nerf things again is sooooooooooooo bad and will probably lead to lots of side-effects and unintended restrictions on game balance. I just think it was a mistake for them to not nerf BL Sorc, HotA Barb, and maybe even Overpower in general this season after seeing how ridiculous all of that has turned out to be. And if they won't nerf broken stuff mid-season... then we will always be living with ridiculously broken stuff, and that's going to have a detrimental effect on player psychology, which in turn will probably lead to less players playing. My worry is it'll be too late by the time the devs figure out they are wrong for not doing mid-season nerfs.

[@baldis12]

Does the snapshotting only work with weapons? Or can you have say a glove, leg and head item on when you enter, and the swithc to others with different aspects inside, and get benefits from 3 aspects more?

[@coomsicle]

it works with weapons (2handers) and amulets since theyre the on ly items giving 50 to 100 percent bonus benefit to the aspect, allowing u to retain that double elements for instance with a smaller percentage (60 vs 30) on a diff item while switching to the "real" aspect on ur 2h wep and amulet. with ubers being target farmable in addition to other stronk uniques this isnt that important imo. you have maybe one aspect slot to snapshot if u have a good build, if ur lucky. i have bladedancers and thats it. with poison and x fals its not worth the time

[@tasandmnm69]

I heard rumor that you can do something like this with Mage Lords. I cant trst it because on console it does not let me see that it is indeed working but its a little different than this, I guess you have Mage Lord on an item and correctly have the key passive Vyrs Mastery to get the bonus but then you can switch key passives and still have the Mage Lord effect active. It would be like being able to use any key passive with the 9% DR per close enemy up to 27%. Would be great if someone could check this one out and let us know the details!

[@b.banner_hulk6867]

I don't like it. They should just let us level the glyph fast and be able to get to higher tiers without things like snapshots. Sad that this is where we are just to beat a tier in a dungeon that goes away soon.

[@coomsicle]

this was not content designed to be cleared at even tier 1 by casual players and they did not expect anyone to reach glyph cap. its not an achievement to beat, its just a limit test for hardcore players. not the game m ode but the grinders. they said that from the beginning yet still every casual comes out of the woodwork to complain for some reason

[@ImmolationBloom]

Imagine the glyph provided enough power to not be bothered about all this bs, great explanation, but as you said “since this is where we’re at in this season…”

[@archmaesterofpullups]

I wonder about the following which I assume would work but I haven't tested: Earthstriker's Aspect Limitless Rage Edgemaster's

[@juanamaral1570]

what is the best aspect of ones you tested for tb rogue to use? to.increase our damage.

[@starryeyes5860]

forgive my ignorance on the topic, i'm sure it's just something I dont understand but... If you have an aspect that's max rolled why would you do this instead of just extracting and imprinting it on the weapon you're trying to use?

[@henryncoke]

Do you think Edgemasters will work?

[@richardmako4630]

Does this also stays/ apply for open world content?

[@Dannielle.S]

Hey! Did u test to ensure that the aspect you place back on once zoning in actually is applying as well as the one u take off? So example the accelerating snapshot is working, but are u sure ur getting that AND the benefit of whatever aspect you put on when u get in and swap them? Thanks for this great explanation either way!

[@SpecOpsG2]

I was about to ask the same thing. I suspected the aspect you tried to replace the "snapshot" with may not function.

[@polkhigh_33]

Of course you do. Your 'weaker' 1h aspect basically carries the 2h aspect buff you swapped out of, while your current 2h aspect does its regular job.

[@AvatarOfSouL]

How about an aspect like Umbrous or Shared misery ? it's probably very time consuming to compare lucky hit chance effects ...

[@Durzothorn]

Lol barb can put accelerating and elements on 2 handers then zone in and swap... Now just need to test earthstriker and ancestral force

[@Xarrio]

True! Barbs even more op with this.

[@tpola3648]

What's the deal with vengeful? Does it work now?

[@lordofshadowz--1316]

Nice vid how do you see the attack stats on console ?

[@L00TxGoblin]

Does this work if you unequipped both the same aspect then put bigger one on 2h and smaller version on ring then remove 2h? Or you need to enter the dungeon or zone with both already equipped ?So example would be elements on 2h and ring then remove 2h and add core increase attack speed on 2h, then add ring with same aspect then remove 2h to main wep so you’d get 60% elements and 50% core attack speed? Guessing prob not

[@Xarrio]

The bug occurs when you are zoning. You must have the things equipped when you zone in. So don't believe that would work.

[@ATST990]

for the elements I am able to swap in the zone and it works. even in outdoor areas, done it a number of times.

[@L00TxGoblin]

@@Xarrio check below comment that’s why I’m asking I feel like I’ve gotten it proc not when zoning as well.

[@coomsicle]

@@Xarrio wait what. hes right, u can just unequip ring entirely and equip t he highest roll on a crossbow of elements or accelerating, zone abck i nto dungeon, equip the smaller percentage ring, swap to ur real 2h, boom. that is what i thought snapshotting was entirely, why would that not work? you can even do it outdorors u dont need to zone technically j ust swap the items around

[@Xarrio]

Yep, I made a part 2 of this video showing this off. @@coomsicle

[@SolaZ360]

do you know if it work with ball lightning ?

[@gabrielmarques89]

The bug is not about zoning in. It's about equipping first. If you equip an higher aspect first and a weaker later on. You will stay with higher effect. I've been testing... and... you can do this with any aspect, as long as you can keep at least one equipped aspect of the kind youre trying to exploit. You can do like this: Equipe 2 handed with aspect > equip amulet > Equip one hand weapon (all 3 with same aspect). Then you will keep the double effect (It will come from 2h, navigate to amulet and then navigate to one handed. It's like a link.

[@gabrielmarques89]

Btw, you will lose everything when you zone. Soo, if u want to exploit this. Zone into zir. THEN you gear up to exploit this.

[@spicorr2]

If it's any aspect, why is it a big no for everything other than elements and accelerating in the ones he has tested?

[@Xarrio]

Huge comment my man. Thanks for explaining this so clearly. I tested it and you are correct 100%. I made a new video part 2 so that people know how it works and made sure to credit you. Thanks again!

[@tylerj3855]

So you can essentially give most of your gear 2 handed and amulet quality aspects if you have the right gear? Or do you have to have the gear equipped going into the dungeon?

[@gabrielmarques89]

​@@tylerj3855 I believe that's true. You have to test and check for dmg difference for some aspects, because they dont give stats or direct buff. But im 99% sure all they do. There are a few that give some bonus even after they are unequipped. (Like the vyr's aspect for sorcerer. You have to equip the aspect with the vyr passive active on ur skill set, after that, you unequip the passive and then unequip the item with the vyr's aspect.. and yet, you will have both aspect and passive actives (you can check that by hitting a critical strike, the buff will show). Thats... insane and overpower

[@cappess]

so lets say we actually dont want elements but because of snapshot we want it, but we will also not be able to have Pestilent because of it? or am i stupid:D?

[@d4saikik]

your discord sound made me think that i had a friend

[@Fandelgore]

i didn't understand how does it work with accelerating, do i have to atack and get the 50% bonus first then swap weapons?? or just equip, enter the dungeon and then swap??

[@Xarrio]

Just equip and enter the dungeon and then swap. No need to attack.

[@xsaviour755]

[@beegeev]

It doesnt work on rapid aspect right can someone confirm pls been trying it and it won't work for rapid

[@XboxGamer1219]

has anyone gotten any to work with necro? also does it still work now or has it been patched ?

[@realdealjalil]

Earthstriker and Edgemaster dont work. Limitless rage & expectant work once then reapplies w current gear. Has to be a continuous buff like elemental. Havent tried accelerating, but considering it falls off and has to be reapplied I would think it works like limitless rage one time then back to normal. Maybe switching gear fast enough can allow for the buff to be reapplied before it falls off, but it will fall off eventually and I believe go back to normal. Am I incorrect about accelerating?

[@beegeev]

Bug exploit. I.e. cheating imo. Play the game like it was intended instead.

[@polkhigh_33]

Bugged skills (Enhanced BL) and interactions (Tibs+Combo Points) are one thing, but this is intentionally abusing a coding flaw to receive a massive and clearly unintended damage bonus. Since this bug can have a drastic impact on the AoZ achievements and especially the upcoming leaderboard in S3, I can see this being a banworthy ToS violation, especially if you dont have streamer armor.

[@Xarrio]

Hopefully they fix all of these bugs before season 3. Right now however, one could argue that all of the bugs are coding flaws that are being abused. And blizz seems to have made the point that they don't want to deal with bugs this season and pretty much anything goes as long as it doesn't crash the servers.

[@polkhigh_33]

Appreciate your response :) And agreed, hopes are strong that stuff like this gets adressed, and its good that you share it while being perfectly honest about it.

[@Xarrio]

I can't speak for others, but I don't think I am skilled for using a bug/exploit. It is simply that blizz has made an impossible mode that can't be beaten (blizz's own words) without bugs/exploits, so people are using them to try to see how far they can get using whatever they can find in the game.
