Oof.

Shit happens, was a fair death at least. My fury was down with my shout durations. Did spam my spacebar for evade, not sure why I didn't work even though I wasn't immobilized.

Does the barb have something like the Battle Orders we know and love from D2r?
Some shouts that last for a few seconds, not boosting health or defense.

Let us(or me since i won't say "d4 bad") know what you think so far
1. Currently a bug where all skill buttons, town portal etc becomes unavailable to press (requires you rejoin the game). Obvious very dangerous mid fight. Would estimate it happened around 10 times for me in the 25 hours of gameplay
2. Twice I DC'd and got trapped in game for a periode of time. (Didn't die from it, but mates have).
3. Drop rates of legendaries and uniques are way to common for my taste. Gotten around 80~ legendries in the 25 hours of play time and 7 Uniques from level 50-56. At some point you just don't feel like even picking them up.
4. Limited trading. I don't know how many times we wanted to trade items between us within the team. But most useful items are account bound.
5. 4 skill buttons + right click + left click is simply not enough. Specially not for the barbarian build I used. skills 1-3 was the shouts, 4 was iron skin (all four skills with 15+ second cooldowns), right click WW and left click ultimate. I was really missing the basic skill to build up fury at times and leap for extra mobility in some very annoying areas in the game.
6. Only tried 3 different Nightmare Dungeons. But the extra dungeon aspects of those were straight up just boring and annoying.
7. Bugged dungeons. On at least 3 occasions we had dungeons that was bugged in a way it was not able to be completed. One where you kill elites bosses to collect essences and one where you free prisoners. All members in the team triple checked everything without luck.
So I would always fear this in every dungeon while farming Grim Favors for Three of Whispers.
8. Remove elixir of death evasion. I was able craft a bunch of these. In the end I refrained from using them.
9. Some elements of the game feels like a mobile game got ported.
Some things that's above average: Mechanical movement/smooth gameplay, Atmosphere, Boss fights.
IMO game is average 6/10.
Game should be valued around 40$ instead. I would honestly recommend waiting for a sale before purchasing it.
Diablo 4 has some growing to do, hopefully in the correct direction.
Got other games I rather spend my freetime on at the moment, will return for ladder season 1 to check the changes.
Disclaimer: Was gifted the ultimate edition of D4 for free.
