Diablo 4 [XO, XBSX|S, PC, PS4, PS5, XGP]

love Helltides. I got 2 legendary items after collecting 75 Aberrant Cinders twice. I also died twice when playing helltides, when you die they remove half of the aberrant cinders you had. Still, I am surprised that I am still surviving. Things can get easily crazy during helltides.

on a different note, turning your character 360º is super fast if you use a mouse, crazy fast. I like to do that after saying hello to other people, just for the fun of it.
go to helltides.com

and go for the mysterious chest. That will net you about 4 legendaries.

A tidbit on Helltide chests. There are chests scattered around the Helltide map you can see, there are some you can't see until you're close to them and they appear on your minimal.

There's one in particular, Mysteries, which you have to hunt down and find on your minimap. It's 175 cinders, the highest cost chest, but it drops a lot more loot of random types, usually 4 legendaries.
 
thanks for the tips, @Malo and @iroboto gotta see for that chest tomorrow, whenever they enable a helltide once again.

Kinda surprised I am surviving relatively well. :) I removed Hydra, so I am only using Fire Bolt, Firewall and Flame Shield. Also Inferno for the coolness and helpfulness factor -gathering enemies and no spending mana is huge-.

While refunding poinst to remove Hydra I noticed that a fire sorc might be viable with all the damage reduction and inmobilize -lucky hit- you get from fire skills? :unsure:

Also, I cleared a dungeon, and got this -more damage reduction when I can use it-

my wrist hurts. That's the most fun part of the game once you complete the campaign but it can be pure craze.

I switched to controller to deal with teh wrist pain as well. We're getting old it seems, can no longer just keep clicking with my mouse arm

yup. Even younger people like The Viper -AoE player- protects his wrists. I wouldn't mind switching to the controller. My fire sorc using Firewall isn't as effective as when you play it with a mouse though, which works very well to place a firewall exactly where you want to, same for Inferno and so on.

Died twice in a helltide, but overall my character held her ground, and even managed to open a couple of chests. Btw, I opened the web helltides.com , very useful, but couldn't find the mysterious chest
 
it doesn't help that I've been babysitting my 3 y.o. and 6 y.o. nephews and was playing soccer with them as a goalkeeper, then a 9 y.o. kid appeared with a soccer ball that was quite heavy compared to what we were using and on one of his shots I put my right hand to stop it and it hurt a lot, specially my ring finger, the impact bent it a little. It still hurts today.

Anyways, back on topic, I still have 99% of the dungeons and stuff untouched. It's obvious that this game is going to last me for this entire generation and the next. There are some classes and builds I want to try, even if I disabled the campaign not to play it once again with those, the true fun comes after the campaign -a good one, but it's completed and that is-.

The one with the green dots is where mystery chest is
 
I want to hear more about @Cyan getting destroyed by a 9 year old with a ball.
you like unwholesome details, don't you? 🤓 Thing is that we were playing in an indoor football (soccer) playground close to my nephews' house. They are too young to play with typical football -soccer- balls, so they use a light Mickey Mouse ball and light a Goofy ball. Then this 9 y.o. appeared and he had a relatively large ball, though not a football one, just one random ball that was quite inflated. I was the goalkeeper, the super goalkeeper, the scarecrow goalkeeper, whatever... when playing football -soccer- with my nephews.

When this 9 y.o. kid appeared I invited him to play with my nephews, and see if they could score a goal. They couldn't -from a certain distance-. There was this time the 9 y.o. kid shoot the ball like 5 meters away from me, and he kicked it hard, I wasn't using gloves and I kinda hurt my fingers.

Now back into Diablo, I noticed there is a helltide active now. So I am going to play a little, 'cos I won't have time to play tomorrow.
 
the fire sorc is becoming quite the "tank" -I usually remain still 'cos of increased damage from one of my items-. I managed to get 270 aberrant cinders in 30 minutes -with the help of other people-, but most importantly, I didn't die. Even when fighting a Helltide General -holy crap, do they absorb damage- I survived, while some other players with best offensive characters than mine died.

The one with the green dots is where mystery chest is
found one of those following the helltide directions from helltides.com . It dropped 3 legendary items :D . It cost 175 aberrant cinders though. I opened then another chest that required 75 aberrant cinders. Best helltide I've completed til now, didn't die once.
 
I wouldn't worry too much about dying, unless you are playing hardcore.
do you play hardcore? Or will you play it? I went from a 300MB to a 500MB fiber connection as of late but I'm not sure I will ever play hardcore.

Aside from the annoyance of repairing items, dying isn't a big deal. The issue comes when you play helltides and if you had say 100 aberrant cinders, when you die, you drop half of them so you start over again. I died twice in a helltide and went empty handed, coudln't open a single chest.
 
Outside of Hardcore, dying matters in Helltide and in WT4 Nightmare Dungeons (only 4 deaths allowed in WT4 Nightmare, 12 in WT3).
 
Finally got my Raiment.

Now. It’s pretty much complete that the only way to play is a dive bomber. So sad all major sorc builds are like this. They should just change the exploit glyph and give everyone the same thing; hits give vulnerability. Like they do for rogue, Barb, and Druid. But necro and mage? Nope. We get shit

Pfft helltides are great for the dive bomber. Ride around until you gather some chasers, use your freeze charge dismount throw off a couple shards at the elites, frost nova if necessary... repeat. Make sure you remount to collect the motes/loot so your freeze charge timer resets.
