I think resource generation in D4 is just terrible. I have 83 Necro and still haven’t found that ring which gives 4 essence and 1x from codex is just crap and too low. I am running extra 3 legendary powers purely for resource and still struggling. Not too bad if I am solo my level dungeons, but if we get in a group or I get higher level dungeons and mobs are harder to kill- I am running out of essence straight away and running in circles like an idiot exploding 3 corpses (if I am lucky and I have corpses around) just to be able to cast 1x bone spear.
As far as I know some other classes have the same problem.
Is this not SUPER GIGA TERRIBLE DESIGN?
Resource generator skills are just waste of space completely as they are not good even at low levels… We want to have fun, cast spells, not to struggle 250hours hunting 3 legendary powers just to be able to cast good skills, wtf? Again, why waste several legendary powers for resources when you can make something fun using them instead??
My solution to this fail- Make resource generator skill to generate 50% of missing resource in one hit. Why not? If your max essence is 100 and you are at 0, you generate 50 essence. if you cast twice, you generate 50 + 25. This way skill may actually be useful to have on skill bar and not waste of skill points + you will have an extra few legendary powers so you can make something exciting for your build.
I am not an expert and not sure if it could be done without breaking game core mechanics, but existing resource problem is just NOT FUN TO PLAY AT ALL
What are your thoughts?
