How are the blood / bone spear builds? I got the pet-sets done on non-seasonal and it's OK. I hate resummoning mages every few seconds. I was happier with it until I tried my thornsader again and then I remembered that thornsader was way more fun.

We don't know yet if it will require level 70 and a solo GR like it does now. If it is unlocked account-wide, then we could be looking at a huge boost at level 1 and being able to gamble for items as you level and unlock the minimum levels for it. If not, even a fresh 70 with a quick solo GR for a gem (or your solo GR20), the 300 shards, 4 million gold, and 8 bounty mats will be real nice for cubing stuff you found from 1-70 before you even do a bounty run to make it smoother.

Have you bound force move to the mouse wheel? Numlock won't autofire if you're holding a key or mouse button down.

Yes. It may actually turn out to be the best stricken stacking skill in the game based on how attack speed works with it, causing it to consume more corpses instead of perform the animation faster. Since you can't keep it up forever though, Attacks + Boneringer + Skeletons + non-AoE boss ends up surpassing it on longer RG fights.

Saw on the blizzard forum that they broke some stuff in the patch today like displaying bone armor stacks above 1. Gonna go out on a limb and say that there won't be a real patch update for S11. :v:

Ah I see, I was thinking of using the devour corpse aura and land of the dead to fling out a ton of stricken stacks early on and maybe comboing it with very high attack speed and oculus ring with CDR to bring Land of the Dead downtime to a manageable number.

Pretty much all skills that display stacks seem to be affected.

Live long and headbang
I went from cleaning a Rift in 20 mins on Hard to cleaning a Rift in 8 minutes on Master because I looted a Crusader Shield that casts Fires of Heaven back to the attacker whenever I block. Totally game-breaking and I love it. (This is my first D3 character and I'm a complete noob).

Also I have crafted a 3 items armor set. What should my farming routine be now? For now I've been farming (Greater) Rifts and do bounties only when I needed the crafting mats. Is there something else I should aim for, or keep farming until my eyes bleed and want to shoot myself?

Ask someone to take you for a ride in the LLJK chat, shouldn't be too hard to find a goon to blaze through some TXIII rifts for your. Really you should just need a smattering of random legendaries to get to torment level nephalem rifts, then get some set pieces and your damage will take off. Copying a build off icy veins or diablofans will give you an idea of what items work with which and what skills to go for.

Use another devour rune on autocast with the numlock trick; you get a larger range on devour and a secondary benefit, like more health or healing.

Only one conquest will need more than one class, which is the set dungeon mastery one; you'll only need two classes for that one. I wouldn't even bother with it unless you just enjoy doing set dungeons as the others are far easier and won't need you to collect 8 full sets + supporting items.

Correct. Avarice, T10 in 2 minutes, and GR75 shouldn't be too challenging once you've got your set and a few supporting items, like Avarice Band/Boon (Avarice), In-Geom/Nemesis (T10 in 2 minutes), and set-supporting items to make the GR70-75 smoothly..

If you are having fun doing what you are doing, absolutely do not do this. I wish I could go back to when the world of Diablo 3 was full of wonder and discovery. Getting rushed to gear is going to destroy that.

Basically it's just standard helltooth gargs but you switch out weapon/offhand for MamaJune dagger/chicken and switch whatever skill you use least to hex with chicken rune. Then you just haul rear end.

Diablofans is being difficult and won't search for some reason, so I can't find the build I used.

There is enough classes and builds in the game with different playstyles to warrant him to go straight to farming the top builds I think. Even if he has no intentions pushing leaderboards and stuff like me, its a heck of a lot better than slogging through the T1-T13 at a slow pace.

That's very much not true. Look at the necro leaderboards or any leaderboard under top 20. It's usually all people with sets that are all very viable, i.e. missing ancient pieces, missing augments, missing specific rolls.

It would not surprise me if there were only like three thousand people playing this game in the entire world. This is not a hugely popular game.
