One thing I never noticed until I did it accidentally today, you can right click on your stash tabs to change their icons!

I've had this game since vanilla launch and had over 1k hours in before RoS launched. Plus the however many hours I've got from coming back in season 9.

I say all this to give context to the following: I just found out that you can hold ctrl and mouse over an item on the ground to look at the item stats pop-up as if it were in your inventory.

If you think that's bad, only the other day did I realise that the minimap icon for a speed pylon isn't some sort of extremely poorly drawn arrow/fast-forward sign, but a foot mid-stride. :downs:

Fix the lovely rift density that still happens about 60% of the time. I assume they want variation between rifts but why is the entire concept of a lovely rift even a thing. gently caress all these half empty caves. Not everything has to be a graveyard tileset with an elite on every screen but some of these are really bad.

Yes Please. I ran 2 different GR's earlier that had the mile long hallway that were soo long you have to scroll the minimap to see both ends of it, with gently caress all for mobs in it.

Is there any good ring I can cube for the Raiment set other than CoE? I have one, but really just don't like the drat thing and hate trying to use it.

I'm currently running the 'Immune to Arcane' amulet, but might swap it for the 'Immune to Freezing' one because holy gently caress frozen has been a common as balls modifier and I hate it.

LoN Bombardment was the only time I paid attention to CoE cycle as it would time perfectly with your bombardment casts with the right cooldown %

Also Necro is pretty drat fun even if I'm scared to push too hard on hardcore

Ehhh, the 4-piece bonus doesn't boost your damage at all, which does make the GR20 to get six-piece kinda weird. If you haven't gotten much good gear aside from your gifts, I can see why someone would have problems.

Every season I end up doing the GR20 solo with miscellaneous legendaries and yellows. If you have a high damage level 70 weapon, it's easy. Don't have one? Craft it.

It's extremely easy to hit GR20 with Tal's just with the 2pc, in fact I did this exact thing on the first night of the season.

Is this season's path a lot more difficult than the last one, or is it just me? I don't see any way I'm going to be able to complete a GR20 within the time limit unless I grind my Paragon Levels to poo poo, and I don't remember this high of difficulty doing last season. Doing Rathma's, if that is any help.

e: vvv if you could link to the build you're discussing, I'd appreciate it, because the highest-rated ones I'm seeing are either for another set, or variations on the one I'm already playing and I don't understand why everything is taking so long to kill.

The build in Diablo fans worked fine for me. I did have the weapon that made blood sucker hit three dudes and the offhand that made you blow up in blood nova using blood sucker however.

Really I was a walking B rate horror flick in gr20.

I did it pretty easily on my Necro. I had the 4 piece and a couple of other semi-decent legendaries but nothing spectacular. Used the 6 piece Rathma build.

Easy enough that I finished it with like 3-4 mins left not as in I'm OP and smash the hell out of everything, had to work for it and had to grind through the lower levels just to unlock lvl 20 as I was quite slow.

Finally beat a GR70 as monk. Makes me wish I had started as something else, seeing my friends so easily smash it up with necromancer and crusader and the like. I am not a diablo expert by any means though, and only play for a week or two every other season.

I tried a few builds, including generator, sunwuko LTK, and Inna EP, but oddly I found it easiest with one that I had copied from the number four monk on the ladder. It isn't on icy veins at all, and is an Inna's LTK setup. Here is the picture of that guy.

You don't even have a generator. Basically you perma-epiphany with the help of obsidian ring of the zodiac, and you LTK everything i the face. The rabid strike copies your LTKs during epiphany, for double the LTK fun. You rely on a combination of inna auras, sweeping wind+inner storm, air ally button, and epiphany to keep your spirit up.

"I want to see what she's in love with."

Any build that you find having downtime follows a sort of pattern instead of straight fighting. During the cooldowns (and/or when convention of elements isn't on your main damage element) you run around grouping up enemies, then you pile all your poo poo on the group.

Gargs are super dumb and rely on their cleave area damage to kill elites. Your playstyles would be to run around and find density, piranado, spirit walk into the crowd of poo poo you made and recast gargs. With grave injustice and enough mobs, you should be able to reset your cool down for the next pack.

Should it be possible for me as a level 70 seasonal necromancer who's trying desperately to get a skele mage ring, to make a level 1 seasonal necromancer and spend all the blood shards i'm getting on my main character trying to gamble for the ring on the level 1 character, as there's a smaller pool of possible legendary rings?

I've spent a couple of thousand shards trying this but kadala keeps giving me leoric's signets :(

How does the gambling with blood shards actually work with the low level characters? What level items say level 1 character can actually get from it? Haven't done it, but apparently my impression (from https://www.d3planner.com/game/kadala) that for example gambling at 11 for a ring with necromancer can get you Nailuij's Evol only, is wrong.

Well you can definitely get the skele mage ring at lv1. You can also get some non-class rings, but much smaller pool than later levels.

If you have absolutely no gear I'd suggest killing malthael on normal then crafting reapers wraps from the recipe he drops. Then make sure you're using devour and the passive that spawns health globes on corpse consumption. You can use these things to pump out high powered singularity skeletal mages.

Gambling at level 1 has a 30% chance of getting Nailuij's when the gamble gives you a legendary, which is 10% of the time iirc. It's how I got my ring at least and didn't take very long at all. Once I remembered to not do it on my Monk that is.

Ok here is the skinny. The two and four piece bonus of rathma doesn't boost DPS. The key is to farm the Jesseth two piece set first. That alone will get you well past GR 20

Edit: farm reg rifts for breath and shards. All shards gamble on shields and all breaths go towards upgrading 1H Scythes. Should take you like no time at all

You don't, however before you can do the Challenge Dungeon, you have to have completed a Greater Rift. So we had to get him a key, so he could do a Greater Rift to unlock the ability to do Challenge Dungeons since he hadn't played the game before.

There also is a reasonable 4-set build for it (on diablofans.com) but it's not easy. I managed to complete it in 13mins or so. My wizard friend did his in 6min in comparison.

Sort of surprised to hear how many people have problem beating GR 20. I did it on necro with no set bonus' and Evol as my only useful unique, and I don't even think I had Skeleton Mage on my skill bar at that point

Also I got that ring at like level 40 owned noobs

e: I will say it was frustrating how terrible single-target is for necro during the leveling period, and even up through 4p Rathma's.
