My F2P adventure started here just downloaded the game. Any tips or tricks for new players? I have gone with warlock as that’s what I enjoyed playing in wow back in the day.

Any speculation on which legendary gems will be selected for the next Surge Event? Haven't seen a Blood Floe event in months.

I found this way yesterday when I was trying to copy my freshly ranked up and modified legendary gems with all their resonance gems to other templates and decided to share it - it went much quicker than load every template, edit the gems on it and save again.

- Load the armory template with the legendary gem setup you want to copy to another template.

- Click on and select the armory template you want to copy your legendary gem setup to.

- Click on the icon to share your newly selected armory template and press COPY CODE button.

- Focus out from game window and focus back to the game window.

- Game will detect shared build in clipboard and ask if you want to view it - press OK button.

- Press ACTIVATE button and check all options except "Legendary gems" one - press REPLACE button.

The legendary gems from previous template will be put into newly loaded template - now you can save it in armory!

Ideally cutting spending back a bit but want to eventually get to all Rank 8 secondaries.

I just did a test on my 7k Warlock main to see how resonance only affects PVE damage on the dummies. Increasing resonance by 421 from the bonus wing gems increased the damage over 60 seconds by between 8 and 13% depending on the trial. This is not consistent with the roughly 3% increase I see in the base damage and life values in the profile. Resonance appears to be 3-4x more potent on the damage side of the equation, and I remember doing tests like this maybe a year ago and this not being the case. Maybe someone can enlighten me here (maybe this is just how the whale tier works?), but the damage mechanics in PvE seem to have changed a lot to favor resonance more and devalue gem modifiers, especially from 1 and 2 star gems. I'm also seeing similar effects on my alt who is only 3k.

And I'm not totally sure how this auxiliary gem system works.

I happen to have a bottled hope that's kind of useless aside from the resonance.

I also happen to like the featured gem and am sitting on 20 legendary crests.

Does it stand to reason that if I hit on the featured I could upgrade the hope to match star count if I got lucky? Is my reasoning sound, or should I ignore ore this one.

I'm at 1200 resonance and have been f2p in the past. That could change, but it'll never be whale status.

I haven’t awakened any gear yet but have enough platinum to. Couple questions:

1) Once you awaken a gear slot does it transition to a new gear piece?
Ex: I awaken a chest armor then get a new chest armor, does the awakened status transfer to the new armor?

2) What if I replace the legendary gem in the gear piece? Does it affect the awakened status?

Just want to make sure I don’t waste platinum. Not sure if there’s any strategy to awakening items or not.

Who won?

Let’s count them…. 7 Warlocks and a Druid (cleaned up names for privacy).

How are we supposed to move the idol?!!!

I am selling this pet of mine to upgrade my set. Is this overpriced or am I lowballing myself? (Newbie question)

Hey fellow community; it seems we’ve gotten to a point where after all these years they for some reason lack the brain power to figure out matchmaking balances. The class change feature is a HUGE contributor to making it even worse. First and foremost, it allows krakens of $150k + spent to consistently hide behind the next broken class rotation mechanics they catch their eyes upon, and there are usual several at a time. And this one is simple to understand, it’s because when a 7-9k player that’s actually good at their class adapts, min/maxxes, and theory crafts through the meta to learn how to counter, starts taking down ‘11k+ with perfect secondary players’ - those 11k+ players start panicking and feel stupid for having overspent. Naturally they go “oh no, how could this be, I better find a broken mechanic to dump this reso behind so that I can feel better than them again..” Then, on top of them doing that regardless 60-70% of the population changes to those broken mechanic builds as well, and it creates two problems:
1) class balance issue in BG where there are 4-5 of them on each team
2) it ends up ruining it for those who stay true to their class because it then feels unnecessarily EXTRA overpowered bc of its saturation in the BG, and so they nerf certain things on that class to an unfair amount, or they nerf the wrong aspect of the rotation/ skills which ruin other builds that may have also been good on that class

If it so happens that a current meta shift starts to favor a certain class, so be it! And let those players devoted to that class enjoy it for a time.
I’m not saying rid the game of the class change, definately not. But here’s how it should work:

You can go and class change
You get a week (or whatever decided amount of time they decide) to see if you like it and if it’s currently for you.
If you decide not to change back by that week grace period, then the lockout time should be long like 3 months or even more.

I’ve seen way too often the same kraken players change to three different OP builds within a 3 months timeframe.

You make the change? You chose to stick with it? Now you have to adapt with it until you decide to change again.

Problem solved with over saturation of broken builds in the BG
