Yeah I should clarify, we'll help you power-level or do seasonal stuff but I don't think we have much in the way of high level rifters. At least not yet!

An additional stash tab that is persistent after the season. You can collect up to 4 extra tabs over the course of 4 seasons, for a total of 12 with the necromancer tabs.

And no, Kadala, you cannot have it back.

Haven't done anything with Trag'Oul set yet though, so have no idea what it's good for apart from long cooldown uber-GR pushing build I'm not really into.

Can I use Trag'Ouls for anything decent with skelly mages (and re-roll vit -> crit), or is that a non-starter?

There is a Trag'Oul pet build that's supposedly quite all right. Personally I'd probably re-roll the skill bonus to critical chance, though.

Not sure what your bnet name is but once they fix communities just ask in chat during any night. Always ppl able to carry.

Also not sure what step you are on. T13 in 5 min isn't listed on the challenges?

edit: nvm you are trying to get your stash tab. One trick is to use nemsis bracers to spawn extra elites for globes if you are trying while you wait for communities to get back up.

So how bad is destiny 2?

EDIT: Holy gently caress my last five Greater Rifts have been awful. Two of them had multiple swarms of duplicating mortar guys right at the entrance. One of them was just a non-stop parade of ice porcupine and the last two were just filled with narrow paths and guys who exploded into poison ensuring there was no way around it.

Sounds like the Upper Realm goblin spot got hotfixed during all that clan/community crashing yesterday (or probably caused it). People are reporting not finding goblins there at all (on PC, console still finds them nearly every other run). Cannot confirm myself as I won't be on for several hours, but I would not be surprised if they did.

Keep Skelly Mages and roll crit onto that helm, you now have a perfect hat for Trag w/ pets build.

T'G Blood Mages is a thing by using the rune that makes summoning the mages cost health instead of essence which allows them to benefit from the T'G 6pc bonus. Its a pretty good build but having said that, I'd reroll the +SM skill to CHC so you could use it with the Corpse Lancer build if you decide to go that route.

You can always find other ancients and pretty good Trag'oul helms, but this is your chance to have one perfect item for a particular build and therefore you should roll for that over trying to make it a generic headpiece.

The belt gives you 25% more life so it is pretty important for survival, although I suppose you could also do something like Avarice + Goldwrap combo for speedfarming. Trag'pets doesn't use Decrepify so you rely on your gigundo health pool to stay alive, with all buffs up mine tops out around ~3mil or so. Gem for life % in helm, life % rolls on gear, and use MWG as your mitigation gem.

A lot more general weirdness on console too. Lag seems worse and there's now a cute gray screen bug that prevents any controller input forcing you to hard quit the game.

Yes, there is no variation on any build full stop. You'll note that very few actual builds exist on Icy Veins, as they have a habit of naming alternate gear, and that clearly is not possible.

There's a huge difference between "I'm running a build variant" and "I don't have a piece."

If someone isn't running a "Meta Approved" piece but has thoughtfully subbed in a synergistic piece, that's good (I don't run the exact icy impale build and I'm doing juuuussst fine).

If you're running some build you looked up and literally are wearing some random legendary belt because you don't have anything good, your build will suck and either feel week or squishy.

Running a super squishy necro build without running the key survivability piece is not a good way to get a feel for the build, just imho.

Admittedly it's not very helpful when people post "please help me live" and don't post a link or anything since dying to the Diablomans can be due to any number of reasons beyond just one piece of gear.

A lot of people post "I'm running the build without [crucial piece] and not impressed with it."

I think they're just asking, "is it worth my time to track down [crucial piece] because I'm not impressed with the quasi build and it better be a huge jump in power"

The answer is basically always yes.

Helltooth pets looses steam around Gr70 and spend more time babysitting your idiot pets then killing what needs to be deaded.

You're thinking of Dagger of Darts and the Zuni Dagger of Darts build on IV is actually pretty fun. Maybe a bit more oomph than HT Garg if only because you can direct your DPS a lot better.
