I was running Vaults with some folks earlier and we had three blue goblins in a row, all spawned from the exact same location, once per vault. It was surreal.

Holy poo poo gently caress this challenge rift. Worst monk build ever, and gently caress Rime. As soon as he starts dropping the 5 ice dot circles, its all but an instagib.

Over ran the timer by 14 seconds on best run because of that poo poo killing me three times as soon as I got up.

You could do the same with a unity I guess, but without that physical CoE boost, you won't be able to kill elites in a single CD cycle at higher GRs.

I might already be done for the season. Got my stash tab (finally have all 12 of which I use maybe half in a season), did a GR 75 and have two characters pretty well geared for 70+. Just not sure what there's left to do since grinding for augments and running really high GRs just doesn't sound fun to me.

Yup, and Asia has a different one too. We get the same class, but the builds are selected from each region.

Yeah a lot of people are finishing up for the season. I noticed there were about 120 people in LLJK in primetime 3 days ago. There were 60 last night when I logged in.

Hey thanks for all the guidance, folks. Now I am soloing almost GR40, was able to complete my TR set, etc. Now it's just a matter of surviving long enough for everything to proc and one-shot elites. Much appreciated.

I don't know what game you're playing where Forgotten Souls are in short supply.

In the meantime, am I right in thinking that +elite damage and max essence from a SoJ is way better than the next best thing I have (even if re-rolled for crit dmg) in ring slot? The green text often lies:



...did you roll the elemental damage bonus away instead of reduced resource cost? SoJ is rare as hell, don't do that.

I had a bandit shrine a couple days ago in a split bounty game that popped a gel goblin. Everything died all at once and my game froze for at least 30 seconds.

The game where reforging a legendary costs 50 souls per attempt. Also, I've never not had complete trash drop for me in hundreds of vaults. Just poo poo with no orange text and blackthorne blackthorne blackthorne. The absolute best I can hope for is a gel goblin for DB.

Man, I wanted to love Raiment and its rhythm but it certainly does fizzle out really quick. I donned Inna and instantly went from G45 to G60 without a meaningful change in sheet stats. I could probably push 70 finally but went to bed.

But I did also finally get CoE and the Compass Rose set.

Yes, however I did have a poopsock friend of mine powerlevel me to paragon 270 in about 45 minutes before I did it. Though I think it's very doable as long as you get the skeletal mage ring which is was also lucky to get as my second legendary ring on my level 1 gambler mule.

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

Reforging is like the best option for improving gear and is also exactly where I hit the wall and stop playing. Having to go grind up a bunch of bounty materials gets really tedious for me really quickly, while I can throw something on the side and zone out a bit while running rifts or whatever. I'd love to be able to spend 500 or 1000 or whatever blood shards to get a reforge token.

My other complaint about itemization/gearing is sockets on jewelry. Just goddamn make radamins (or however you spell it) also socket jewelry, because the reason they put it in the game (socket on weapon is always the best option) holds even more true for jewelry.

Woah, I thought it couldn't get more fun to play a WD than with the Helltooth set but now I got the Arachyr one and clearly I was wrong. The mana is a little tight and I have to be careful with my HP but that makes the game actually a little bit challenging for a change.

I'm P240ish and just cleared GR40 no sweat. Need a couple more legendaries and T45 will be a breeze! Also the dungeon set was a joke you guys weren't kidding.

Swap Bane of the Stricken for Bane of the Trapped, and maybe try wearing the Compass Rose again (otherwise replace the amulet with a decent Hellfire one). Also get a Pride of Cassius belt and never don't have Iron Skin active. If you still die too much for your liking just suck it up and slot the Nerves of Steel passive, probably in place of Berserker's Rage.

Edit: actually, on checking my own WW barb it turns out that a Gogok of Swiftness probably is the better choice as the added cooldown reduction gets you closer to perma-WotB. It also reminded me that WW barbs just aren't in a terribly good place currently, and that makes me sad. :(

Hey so this is my BloodPets Necromancer. I'm curious about itemizing for ASPD. Does Tasker & Theo put me over some line where I'd be better off rolling Attack Speed off of my gloves/ring/scythe or do I just want to stack it high as a kite? I'm loving that this build runs almost ZERO CDR and between Devour and Command Skeletons I still feel like the build is pretty active.

It's also fun running around with almost 2 million health and 500,000,000 toughness.

I know it's just confirmation bias and/or small sampling, but I genuinely feel like I will get some games with a good seed. There was one time where I found 4/6 pieces of Inna over the period of six or so rifts.

But yes, belts are statistically harder to gamble for compared to other equipment. P559 sounds rather high though, sorry mang.

Just going off the latest update on the profile, it's only showing you with Pain enhancer and Taeguk equipped. Get a socket in that neck and throw in Stricken. Swap your armor gems for Diamonds which will give you a tremendous boost in toughness. Swap your belt for a Pride of Cassius (Preferably one with a 6 second roll) and also swap the rune on Ignore Pain to Ignorance is Bliss for an enormous amount of healing. I'd also swap Ground Smash for Intimidating Shout/Demoralize for further damage reduction and easier cooldown management. You could also consider going fishing for a nice Hellfire amulet but that's a real roll of the dice. You may also want to reroll your offhand to also sport CDR, but only if you're having issues with infinite Ignore Pain/WotB.
