oh my god i just discovered the angry chicken speed farming variation for the helltooth witch doctor. so much fun and completely fixes my main problem with the build which was poor clear speed on easier content (bounties, normal rifts, 55ish grifts) due to no movement skill.

i am somehow missing a set of nemesis bracers though so if anyone wants to hit me up with one of those i would appreciate it. psn is super_aggro_crag

im back to non-seasonal play now since chapter 5 has set dungeon completion and no thank you

If your seasonal was a WD the helltooth set dungeon is crazy easy to cheese

and you can just look up what the other chapters are to complete them and rank up

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


Are you supposed to get anything for finishing your set dungeon?

You get emblems and such but the only real reward comes from finishing all the set dungeons so you get a set of neon green angel0ic ribbon wings.

The rewards can be Claimed only once, but you can earn them on one character and Claim them on another!

This is what I was hoping! I've nearly done chapter 2 with a necromancer, but I saw the rewards you get for Monk and it looks awesome, but don't want to level 1-70 again with them :D

Friendly Reminder that post #2 is a list of all the players who have put their PSN/XBLIDs in the thread. There's a good number of both, so you should be able to find someone...

Also if you see me online (PSN: Cadavrs4algernon), hit me up. I'm more than willing to get off my FFXII game and help out.

They're drops from specific achievements and certain mobs like menagerist goblins. I think you get a mini golem pet just for buying the Necro pack. You can adjust them per character at the little mirror stand near the Mystic.

is there a single build in this game that doesnt want to stack crit/crit dmg?

There are two archetypes that don't stack crit/crit damage

1: Thorns builds. Thorns can't crit, so those stats do nothing for the build. Crusader is the main user of this stat, with the Invoker set and Legacy of Nightmares bombard (AKA Ponysader) being the mainstays.

2. Support/ZDPS builds. The idea behind these builds is you sacrifice all your damage potential to enable your team mates through some combination of buffing defense, increasing group damage, and creating density by pulling mobs into huge murder fests. Monk and Barbarian are the supports of choice at this moment, but every class can manage a support build of varying effectiveness.

Time ago I made a tanky monk built around cyclone to gather enemies around me letting others deal the dps. It's drat fun and you can do the same with a barbarian (with taunt aswell).

At least yesterday, the challenge rift was a Blessed Hammer crusader so I guess it is still good.


For this season on console I wanted to recreate my beloved D3 PC witch doctor but being unlucky with drops like Tiklandian Visage and Rhen'ho flayer for fear/toad combo made me get bored quickly so I guess I'll make another char.

Made a necro right before the season and is drat fun but I always had a soft spot for barbarian and monk.

I still remember Rend at launch wich was beyond useless. Now is a drat fun hability.

This season I'm running a necro after getting bored of the WD and is drat fun to make the whole screen a big explosion of guts.

How long does it usually take for the update to hit live rollout? Really interested in the buffed Uliana for Monk.

Pretty pumped to give this a go for the first time on console as my first PS4 game, but I'm having trouble figuring out some details of co-op. I'm getting my friend to log into a local account on the PS4, and create a PSN account as well so we can participate in seasons, but what I can't seem to find is whether we will both get to claim Haedrig's Gifts/Seasonal Journey stuff individually. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Also, coming from PC, this feels really great except for ranged targeted skills like meteor/dash/falling sword etc. Any tips for those? I mean I'm perfectly happy just playing builds that don't include them but are these nice tricks for it?

e: One more question - are there any specs that can keep up with a dashing monk?

Pretty sure its account bound so you should be fine.

Not really. You get used to it and mitigate it with movement. eg reposition yourself so the only mob in the direction you're tilting the thumbstick will be targeted. Those skills are still extremely good but you have to treat them like line of sight abilities.

At first when they released Diablo 3 on consoles I thought that It wouldn't work but when I got it on my 360 I loved how it feels much better than having to click for movement then click to aim an attack. The gamepad makes melee characters more fun and hell, even DH's, a class that I didn't like on PC at all, now feels great because you're basically playing a Housemarque twin stick shooter.

Basically switched from PC to PS4 as soon as I knew they were releasing the necro.

The Legend
I was pretty much done with D3 shortly after they released the Necro and my wife and I each got one to 70. Then the season started, and holy poo poo I'm way back into it. Cleared the first 5 steps and will probably tap out there, because the rest of the season stuff seems super grindy.

Someone give me suggestions for a fun WD build. My wizard is clearing 50ish grifts solo, but my wife's WD has stalled out and she seems to find the thing boring. Right now she's mostly just using pets I think.

Looking at the Seasonal leader-board, can anyone tell me or show me a video of the Witch Doctor build everyone in the top list is using? With the seasonal set, I've been doing OK up to GR50 by letting my pets melt all the enemies, but after that the pet AI can't handle the leaping and teleporting enemies who tend to whoop me good. On top of that, the enemies who can revive others. It's hard to direct them and I just don't do enough to get past GR50 (and I only did so with 30 seconds left). On top of that, my pets tend to get in the way of my friends' characters, who are melee.


Are the Crusader builds in the Crusade thread still viable too? I never tried that class and want to give it a go. Finally, did they remove the feature where if your friend gets a Legendary, they can send you a duplicate of it in the mail? Playing in Rifts where you're showered by the things, I can see why they removed it, if they indeed did.

Not sure about top leader board but I know was able to get Zuni up to GR 70 since that is what I unlocked primals with.

Can't remember everything off hand but I can remember it involved a lot of fetish abuse. On my phone atm otherwise I'd check what the items are

When does D3 get interesting?
