What salary do you need to buy a G8X

Tyga11 · 06-20-2023, 07:08 PM

Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this matter...

FC4 · 06-20-2023, 07:12 PM

Oh god.

Gottagofast · 06-20-2023, 07:29 PM

Regular McDonald's salary should suffice.

iviegatron · 06-20-2023, 07:32 PM

Salary is one thing, you need to check how much you have left after expenses if you can afford it or not. If your salary is $1 million and your expenses are also a $1 million then no you can't afford it.

What do you think someone’s salary should be?

MMM.PWR · 06-20-2023, 07:40 PM

I’m stuck on the first Astaroth battle on D4 with my sorcerer. Anyone have any tips? I spec’d into chain lighting, hydra, and firewall. I should probably do frozen orb build tbh

NorCalAthlete · 06-20-2023, 07:49 PM

Depends on how prolific you are behind the Wendy's dumpster....

fanofbmwe46 · 06-20-2023, 07:52 PM

Single with avg cost of living I’d say $120K

Married with avg cost of living 2 kids in daycare and wife that makes similar salary, I’d say $150K.

As the saying goes….if you need to ask then you can’t afford it.

Somehow this makes more sense to me than the original question.

Ah explains the recall, they wanted you to have more time to reconsider

Jokes aside glad you got the car fairly quick afterwards

Can you hook us up with employee discount? Those chalupas are getting expensive.

I was inspired by a post in the BMW General Board. A finance expert suggested your salary should be triple the MSRP.

So yes, that is what I'm basing it off of.

Cooldown build works too. Spec all cooldowns + ice blades and rotate them while running away.

It's a bit nerfed compared to the beta apparently but still works pretty well.

5 pts in Arc Lash + Glinting + Enhanced

Skip down to Ice shield and put 5 into that + enhanced + mystical

2-3 into flame shield + enhanced + shimmering (MUST have if you're on hardcore mode)

3/3 elemental attunement + glass cannon (9 and 3 oclock on the defensive)

1/5 teleport + enhanced + shimmering

next tier, grab 5/5 ice blades + enhanced + summoned

then on the same tier grab 1/3 Align the elements + 3/3 Protection

on to Mastery, grab 3/3 Icy Veil, Static Discharge, and Shocking Impact

Ultimate tier grab Inferno and then Coursing Currents / Electrocution.

Everything else, grab whatever you want, but the main skills to rotate are:

Left Mouse: Arc Lash
Right Mouse: Ice Blades
1: Flame Shield
2: Ice Armor
3: Inferno
4: Teleport

Passive 1: Ice Blades
Passive 2: Flame Shield

This should basically let you face tank most minor bosses, run around anything else, and just keep burning cooldowns / stuns / crits that reset your shields / constant shield barrier till everything around you is dead.

It's not the fastest, but it's very survivable.

edit: the way it works is by constantly spawning ice blades after you've stacked 40s worth of cooldowns....which means you can get 4-5 ice blades going at once when your crits proc. And since enemies can't defend against them...and the blades make enemies vulnerable...which leads to more crits....which leads to resetting your shields / armor / teleport...which leads to more cooldowns...which leads to more blades....you get the idea.

Absolutely need to have ice blades on passive though. Flame shield is optional for the 2nd passive especially if you're not playing on hardcore mode. On HC it's saved my bacon a few times though so I highly recommend it. Sometimes you need a couple extra seconds till the next cooldown is available.

Thanks for this. I’m actually stuck at the Act 2 Astaroth and am lvl 24

but I’m too old and don’t have enough time to really look into builds to fight bosses. Waited 11 years for D4 only to have no time to play it, feelsbadman
