I’ve soloed my Arc Bitch sorcerer to 65 and a bit. I’m trying for WT4 and keeping coming back to the capstone to see if I’m good enough.
It’s actually fun. I’ll spend a few hours grinding nightmare dungeons looking for a piece of kit to make a small difference.
I’ll then pop back into the dungeon and see how far I get.
Not too far at the moment. I made it to the boss once.
Onwards and upwards.
I don’t love it tbh, i had a better time with D2:R.
It just feels grindier, the gem collecting is less fun (and costs gold), the male sorc looks just awful all the time (level 55), and the items are generally just less interesting somehow – it feels like work to dutifully collect all golds just to sell without even looking at them because i only care about legendary, which are rare and mostly not even useful for my build. I dunno.
Plus as a solo player, having other capable heroes running around in this hopeless world… Like, it breaks the whole concept of the main quest for me. Why can’t that guy help some of these people. It’s like RuPaul’s Boy Scouts, a bunch of fabulously attired competing queens running around solving mundane village tasks, apparently. I want to be the only one! Plus who are all these people standing around my stash?! Go rent your own room at the inn!

That’s not quite right. Legendaries are usually only useful for their aspects. The rares are the ones you want to be looking at. You find a rare with 3/4 good affixes, reroll the last to something good, imprint a legendary aspect on it, and you’ve got an excellent item.
I think I’m not at the part of the campaign that unlocks rerolling an affix yet :( But otherwise fair point, i have recently started stripping my useless legendaries for their aspect. But still struggling to find any rares worth attaching to, but I’ll commit a bit more to that strategy and start paying more attention to them i guess.
Still doing campaign at level 55? No wonder it’s feeling grindy. Monsters cap out at level 50 in WT1/WT2 so you won’t be getting much in the way of experience and you won’t be getting better items.
Rerolling item affixes is done at the occultist (where you extract and inscribe aspects) and is called “enchanting”. You unlock this at level 25.
In my experience there is a lot of interesting yellow gear, take a close look before you sell and consider the impact of upgrades and rerolling stats…
(This is a lot less true after level about 75)
I can’t reroll stats yet. But i guess I’ll give yellow another chance. I’m level 55 i think, not yet started Act III.
I made a male sorc that is a pretty good approximation of Frank’n’Furter from Rocky Horror
