Bust Rodd posted:I understand that Hydra's are bugged but the "Let your Hydras cover your fragile rear end" playstyle works so much better for me than the "Pray for In-Geom proc or die horribly because the floor spawned 3 Yellow Mobs next to the door instead of a Blue Pack" that I don't really care, and also the Hydra stealing your proc beoomes a total non-issue if you just teleport away from them, c'est non? People who play hardcore wear way more defensive gear - give up pieces that people use in soft core for more defensive minded pieces and use different passives/runes. They also don't run head long into stuff and die to unknowns they can't see on the screen. It's not so much a trick as a diff play style and gearing process.

exquisite tea posted:Trag w/ pets doesn't require any CDR, is way less finicky than Rathma, and is very good for speed clears. The only speciality pieces you need for it besides the 6pc and Jesseth set are Krysbie's and the health globe belt from A3 bounties. I've also done GR85 with it so it's no slouch for soloing either. You can also work in Frailty for groups. I don't suppose you have the build written down somewhere? I'd quite like to use Trags without trying to fumble my way around the map rounding up elites.

It's my current seasonal Necro: https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Yuppidoo-1198/hero/92829099 You can substitute Frailty for Siphon in groups, or Simulacrum with more CDR to push rifts. You can also try to work in a different necklace + ring combo than Endless Walk.

I rolled a Barb and pushing towards GR70 feels like it is moving at a snails pace. I guess all I can do is push those legendary gems to 60+ and keep grinding.

I''m currently doing Leapquake, sitting around Paragon 550, but I don't have an Ancient Blade of the Tribes or a socketed necklace yet.  Is it more beneficial for me to try and farm a Hellfire Amulet than just pounding my head on GRs?

You're not running anything if you're missing one of the vital pieces! Roll a Socket onto your Hellfire! Or just forge a new Hellfire if your current one can't possible have Socket + at least Crit Chance OR Crit Damage Ancient weapon will be helpful for 75+. Get the full set of gear that the build requires, then worry about replacing it with Ancients.

Your 3 gems represent an incredibly significant amount of your damage (Trapped, Stricken) and survivability (Esoteric), so I would not be surprised if you're able to nail a gr70 just by having the full build. Your weapon has a Ramaldini socket with a flawless Emerald in it, right?

See if that works a bit better? You can do a pretty good job of avoiding attacks by leaping in and out of the fray. I used a Diamond in the Helm to get godmode on cooldown more often. I pop the godmode power for every single elite pack. EDIT: Wrong gem type. GoGoGadgetChris fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jul 31, 2017 |

Last season, I did up to 75 on barb before paragon 600 with a normal blade of the tribes. Ancient weapons help, but I think they're less strong in reality than you're thinking in your head. They're maybe 2 GR levels higher than what you can do with a normal weapon. Then I switched to a wiz and couldn't believe the power difference.

Mainly farming T13 and equivalent level rifts; with my current setup I can pretty much one-shot monsters on T11/T12 and T13 is just a little bit slower.

Filthy Monkey posted: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. From forever ago but thank you for this. I switched to monk so I could tank for some friends but still like to push solo when I can. Everything else has been terrible. Either didn't enjoy the play style or was poo poo at it. Took this build to top 100 in just a few blocks of playing.

This week's Challenge Rift brings you a WD without spirit walk! It is very easy though since he has full helltooth, the right pet skills, and lots of density. Next week, sader with no horse? Stay tuned!

so my chicken build is getting close to being able to speed t13 and I've got loads of other wd gear, I'm just not totally sure what the best wd build to push with is, or if I should instead just roll necromancer/wiz and push with one of those instead, since I can get a bucket load of blood shards pretty quickly with the wd and have numerous pieces of usable gear for them. I'll say, chicken speed is pretty fun, only thing I don't like is how annoying it can sometimes be on crowded screens to get your dumb pets on the elites. anyway, I have lots of ancient pieces for both jade harvester and for arakyr or whatever it's called - either of these worth diving into?

Which is the better Rathma build? I saw the one on Diablofans and the Icy Veins ones and tried them both, but the IV one played a little better to me. (I could just be missing the point of Simulacra.) But I do the auto cast trick with Devour (Cannibalize - for the heals) and I'm probably missing some point of the Diablofans one. What's the big difference that I'm missing?

Hard to say if you don't link the builds you are referring to because so far, each necro set has various possible setups, which is pretty awesome, but makes these type of questions harder to answer. Also, you will have to define "better" at what? Higher GR push? Speed T13s? Speed 70s?

I'd like to do GR pushes to unlock primals, eventually. And here are the two builds. http://www.diablofans.com/builds/92777-rathma-jesseth-singularity https://www.icy-veins.com/d3/rathma-skeletal-mages-necromancer-bis-gear-gems-paragon-points There's a lot of overlap, but there's probably minutia that I'm missing.

I highly recommend trade secrets from zhanji, corsairs from Corsair clan, or dropaduski's. There's tons of high level, high experience guys who are willing to impart knowledge Edit: if you're looking to push or speed 90-100s, the big grift communities are also good
