Since discovering the first Nemesis while doing warden runs though I've opted to farm it for gear,blueprints and such.He's a bitch for my Conjurer to kill in a timely manner but the Nemesis Chest usually coughs up some interesting loot. assuming you killed the witch and sided with the Black Legion.It's a short but sweet dungeon,has a unique Boss loot drop with a Rift gate just outside and somewhere to sell right above it.It's also a great source of allied reputation for the Black Legion and in higher difficulties you can opt to help her instead of the Legion (purchase the Black Legion Mandate first),and in doing so have access to her fantastic range of Aether resistance options in the difficulty it really counts. and I walked right into the death room because I was curious.įort Ikon Prison is also a place of interest for farming. P.S: I also made the mistake of entering Steps the first time I got a key. In my opinion it's always good to re-visit side zones of an act you just completed.įrom this point monsters will be higher level than you most of the time, but +6 is a bit rough unless it's a challenge zone (and even then, +4 is better). Hallowed Hill, Sunken Reliquary, Salazar, East Marsh. You can farm some Act 4 or nicely-scaled Act 3 zones a bit - but personally I prefer taking on the bonus areas of Elite Act 1 to gain what you need for Acts 2&3: (in ascending order of difficulty) not much in Veteran is useful at this point if you did side quests and haven't rushed through, except maybe taking on Avatar of Mogdrogen and getting slaughtered :) you'd want to do that when you're in late Act 4 at least (and preferably starting Ultimate). The whole playthrough I was 2-6 levels below content.Īssuming your char can handle Elite Act 2 after beating things like The Warden in Elite Act 1, and maybe Darius Cronley in Elite Act 2 - you should be able to survive the "end game zones" of previous difficulty.ĭon't try the current (Elite) ones yet. I feel that leveling in this game is too slow. Seems I'll need to grind that level gap first. Bastion of Chaos in Veteran also has bosses >5 lvls above me, dropping items I can't equip. Progression in this game seems kinda not yet balanced. And a random vendor sold me a magic weapon, that totally outclasses epic gear 20 lvls above it. When you finally reach the next status level, you are already using superior gear from drops. The only reliable way to get good drops is Act boss.įaction sellers are selling outdated items. But most of the monsters don't drop shit. Should I go back to Veteran difficulty and farm the last zone (Bastion of Chaos)? Feels kinda off to do that, since I was able (= the game allowed me) to push it to Act2 in Elite diff. I have a tab of epic gear I can't use, because its 5 lvls above me and leveling in this game is really, really slow.
But he's lvl 57 and is dropping items with lvl 58 or crap.
So I decided to farm Act 1 boss for better gear. The content is not that hard, except the occasional "boss" monster who can destroy me pretty fast. Defence-wise my gear totally sucks (20 - 30 lvls below my char lvl), esp. Now in Elite difficulty I'm having a bad experience with progression. Was pretty easy, dind't even realize I was fighting the final boss, cause I'm not really paying attention to the story, lol. So, I managed to finish Veteran playthrough.
