Maxed out necro for the beta and was steam rolling everything. Mainly used corpse explosion/tendrils and blood surge and just obliterated mobs.

Might check out some other classes later. The druids I saw in the wild looked pretty cool.

Seems super easy to get good gear. World boss drops, the merchant that sells random rolls (forgot what he’s called), aspect crafting. Had all unique gear with some decent +minion stat rolls by the end of my run through.

They mentioned in last week's beta they were going to buff early Barb. Everyone was saying it felt weak. And frost Sorc nerf.

There will be quite a few changes for balance before release in June no doubt.

quote:

“We don’t want a player who creates a Barbarian to feel weak at low levels,” says game director Joe Shely. “So we need to balance the class so that their strength at the end game is realized in that they are powerful, but without making the game unfair at low levels.”

played necro last night, god damn helluva difference. Steam rolled everything and bosses are cake walk.



I've been rolling Necro and it feels OP. Just running over everything. Only played for a few hours today but already level 16 and I'm sure I'll hit 25 tomorrow.

I do like the game; however, the level scaling might be the worst since Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

Shared gameworld with level scaling was a huge mistake.

So I hit level 21 last night. Pretty close to 22. Is there any reason to hit 25?

What do you mean by this? Zones are not set levels? Like every mob will be scaled to my character's level no matter where I am?

Necro feels broken, no matter the build. Skeletons are OP and steamroll everything. Nevermind that Corpse Explosion, Bone Shards/Bone Spear/ and, Bone Spirit are all overpowered as well.

You basically cannot die and kill bosses faster than every other class.

by far the worst class in the game. It's actually a joke if you compare necro and druid.

Especially when you make the skeleton knights into reapers with the second upgrade. They drop corpses all over the place and then you just let the corpse explosion DOTs do the work.

I died to the Lament of Lilith. Didn’t feel like trying again. Probably done with the beta. Hit level 24 on rogue.

That was the only time I died the whole weekend. Story is compelling, but I guess I need to raise my world tier or something to feel like the game is a challenge. Also felt repetitive by the end, hopefully only due the limited scope.

Druid honestly is more fun to play than necro imo. Feels way more balanced in the early game

yes. from my understanding they didnt want to make any old areas obsolete.

currently any area you go to that is "under level" will have mobs your level. i think a better way to do it would have been to make areas you are vastly overpowered for scale the mobs to maybe 1-2 levels below you.

A lot of people are upset they never get to feel insanely powerful now. I dont particularly mind it, and actually like it. However it does give the illusion that you are never truly getting more powerful, infact, slightly weaker each level. i think the will alleviate towards end game as you progress pass just level as primary means of power scale.

eh i think he was on par with barbarian at first. now at lvl 17 and with some proper gear synergy i feel the druid is relatively ok where he is.

he aint steamrolling like the necro for sure though.

I also don't mind this too much, but I feel like Elden Ring got this right and hope developers look at it more going forward. Understand this game was already deep in dev when that came out and belive they are posturing it as a live service game, but that was the main complaint about Destiny 2 when it released. Sad they couldn't come up with an innovative answer to this problem.

Well I was steamrolling as a Necro and then died on the penitence quest to the "fleshless penitent." Dude two shot me somehow. So I guess it was fun while it lasted.

I think I'd gotten lazy after getting the golem and just went in like a fool. Wish I could have finished the chapter but oh well. Hit level 25 and made some decent story progress.

ETA: Went on YouTube and watched what I missed. Guess I was about an hour from finishing the beta story. Dang it.

Didn’t realize you could download the beta without preordering so played a little last night as a necro.

Game looks great. That alone would get me to buy it. But it def feels a little slow.

One annoying thing I noticed during the beta was gems take up way too much space. Should have it’s own tab like elixirs.

Or just combine gems with the elixir tab because I doubt I will have 30 elixirs on hand ever.
