I can't speak for EU side, but I think I remember an EU player saying the community was either a different name or not enough people to keep it going. Sorry I can't be more specific. I'll let one of the EU guys jump in to confirm what is the case.

I never found any LLJK clan or community active on EU; been living my life goon free in D3 for years. I think it's why my enthusiasm burns out so quickly.

It might not be the most efficient or clear GR100+ but I found this Inarius build to be a lot of fun playing non-season http://www.diablofans.com/builds/92362-inarius-novalancer-post-hotfix

Still uses corpse lance for blowing up elites but you use the offhand that procs blood nova off siphon blood and it tears through stuff, has frailty aura too for less buttons to press

I'm saving my first necro run for a season that rolls Inarius or Pestilence as the free sets. Those look the most fun to me.

I'm thinking I'll either monk or barb this time around.

You could always just roll a seasonal character on Americas.

WD for me. I have the least play time with it even vs. Monk which is amazing to me. It's the first class I played (wanted a D3 Necro back then, still haven't bought the new one, lol) and maybe left a bad taste in my mouth since the vanilla release.

This is pretty huge to start a fresh season on a level 1 with 8 bounty mats, 200 crafting mats, 300 blood shards, and 4 million gold. Check out the best items for your class, and when you can roll them, so you can gamble at the minimum level to get them. Here's a good site for that if you want to see the minimum levels: http://www.d3planner.com/game/kadala

That is a good site. On a level 1 monk I would gamble blood shards on boots because I'd have a chance at either level 8 crudest boots or level 8 rivera dancers, both of which are really good for leveling.

Gotta figure out what to roll for DH...

e: looks like rolling belts at level 13 for hellcat waistguard might be a good idea

e: aw dude the necro's skeletal mage ring is the only ring they have available at level 11, that should mean you can roll a level 1 necro and gamble rings and it will be the only legendary option

Hm yeah I forgot you have to compete against swords etc. as well. Starfire is probably easy enough to find just from levelling normally and can be cubed much sooner thanks to challenge rifts.

It's a game mode, like Campaign and Adventure. You exit to the menu, click Game Settings, and then select Challenge Rifts.

Yes, but it's a very low chance. You get 6 shots at it with 300 shards, so not likely to get it, but if you do, you can carry the group and GR20 will be much easier. Same with the Corpse Explosion gauntlets, which gives a nice boost to the damage and will carry for a while, just like gungdo gear.

What's the threshold for gambling items above your level? Like, wouldn't you need your necromancer to be level 11 to get the mages ring or is it just that that's the lowest potential option so if it rolls orange that's the one you get?

My experience with monk boots was that people thought you had to be level 8 but you could roll at level 1 and it would spit out level 8 legendaries

I think it only applies to level 1, where there may not be legendaries of a certain type, so it allows you to get the closest ones to your level. This makes gambling for items at level 1 the best if the thing you want is the very first legendary of that type. If there is one before, then you have to wait until the level of the item to gamble, but now you have other possible legendaries.

I want to warn you fellers
And tell you one by one
What makes a gallows rope to swing

Is the idea to get a legendary with a powerful enough effect (doubling skeletal mages for instance) that it will last a long time leveling even as you outscale the stats? Is it so you can extract the power from the cube? Both?

I kind of want to just roll with a crusader because it seems like the least movement-dependent class, but on the other hand all the beefy lunkhead classes are crap until you get top tier gear.

A cornerstone of crusaders is their "get on a horse and move really fast" skill, their top build is constantly moving around and let bombardment kill things for you.

Both, basically, with the added point that there are some effects that you're gonna need anyway for your level 70 build. The necro Gift set is the pet one, and finding the ring is going to be a huge limiter on your early power. If you can grab one for essentially free at level 1, it'll save you a bunch of time in the early gearing phase.

It is, but running the campaign until SK is just not as efficient (or fun imo) as rifting unless you have a non-season player run the campaign for you and give your group the waypoint. Where are the non-season, campaign-loving, players at? :)

Leo's Crown is a super common helm drop while leveling when the legendary pool is so low. At least one person in your group is almost guaranteed to get it in a rift.

But if they're smart, they'll throw the biggest ruby in there they can and keep it. Not much worth gambling for that early on, I just want to get through to 70 quickly and burn what few shards I hope to get from the CR to get that lovely crown.

Can't decide what to play. DH is my favorite and will probably be easy to get farming quickly with UE, but I've played it a lot. Never tried WW barb or the latest lightning wizard builds, and wizard is the only class I don't have for non-seasonal. Never played Helltooth garg or chicken doctor either. Decisions!
