Thoughts on an ancient 42-stack Fazula's vs a non-ancient 44-stack Fazula's? They're both Int/Vit/Armor/Life% (the Ancient one got max Int).

Poultron posted:I really hope there is a sequel or expansion on the way, I kind of agree with that post a little while ago that I'm getting a bit tired of the same thing every time. I do really love the game and mechanics and systems but I can only do the same thing so many times. I was hoping they'd start doing some wacky PoE-tier stuff with Seasons but the most we've gotten is challenge rifts which are only once a week. Can't they do anything to spice it up just a little bit? Wasn't Necromancer's release them cannibalizing the remains of their in-progress expansion?

That's the rumor and I believe it, but they have had those listings for a "Diablo project" for a while, so that's why I'm holding out some hope for a Diablo 4 or something (in a while, though) I don't really want Diablo 4 because I'm deathly worried it would be more like Diablo 2.

I feel like Diablo 3 is just not an important priority to Blizzard. This is their one game that doesn't bring in massive amounts of money. Even Starcraft II is bigger due to its tournament scene. All of Blizzards other games are built around having a steady stream of cash rolling in. Diablo III doesn't have that, so there's little reason for Blizzard to dedicate a lot of resources to it.

I feel like Blizzard probably made untold millions off of the AH, not to mention that Diablo 3 is like one of the 10 highest selling games of all-time. It may no longer be a priority, but they made enough off of it that they needlessly kept supporting it until it was good, and now it's great. Rhykker also really seems to think that Diablo 4 is amassing staff, and I for one am excited to see what kind of mistakes they won't make again.

Finally made the leaderboard in this silly game... GR93 solo necro with Rathma's set. Now it's time to git gud with Trag so I can hit GR100.

The second conquest requirement for Conqueror has been making GBS threads in my loving Wheaties for a while now. Fishing for two minute rifts sucks and so does hunting Gilded Barons with an inventory full of goldfind switches. I'm not particularly convinced those little fucks can drop 50 mil in one one go.

If you want to do it the boring way you can farm up 50x T10+ bounty caches and open them at same time to get 50mil+ gold. You'll also be set for a while with bounty mats.

Fishing for two minute rifts sucks and so does hunting Gilded Barons with an inventory full of goldfind switches. I'm not particularly convinced those little fucks can drop 50 mil in one one go. I don't think gilded barons work anymore as their gold was nerfed a few patches ago. A t13 gilded baron barely drops 20m now. You can do the ruins of corvus on T10 with just boon, a green gem in your helm, gold in paragon, and I went with leo's in the cube just to be sure and made it just past half-way. You want to run through it first opening all of the doors and triggering all of the little crabs first so there's no waiting at all and you won't make a wrong turn into a dead end since you'll have the full map available to you. Alternatively, if you don't want to do this, or the bounties/caches suggested above, cow level works great too since there are hundreds of them, like 20 chests, and a bunch of bodies on the ground that spew out gold. T10-13, whatever you can instantly and easily melt without relying on a cooldown and just pace your way in a circle, spiraling to the center and triggering the event for more cows/gold.

Also I have a question about legendary gems since I should probably slot those in; is there any particular piece of equipment to best use them on? I have a few of those items to add slots to things too.

Yea. I'm pretty sure you all are right. I haven't managed to top 20 mil out of a Baron. My nerd crew has been balking at the idea of fishing for a 2 minute rift or running the 20 min boss gauntlet. I'm fairly sure I can solo a 2 minute rift with a CE cooldown cheese nec but the RNG has not been kind.

A two minute rift on T10 is just something that will naturally happen over the course of playing Diablo if you play any sort of speedfarming spec.

We managed the 20min boss mode with 2 players but it got really close, we had maybe half a minute to spare at most. If you can get 3 or 4 players it should be easier. Everyone has to get in on all the bossfights so you run as far as you can and when someone triggers a boss fight you tp to town, and after the boss you teleport to town through the map and enter your old tp to continue where you left off.

Avarice is pretty simple. Just find a bit open outdoor rift and have boon maxed with avarice. I think I did it on TX and slowly just did sweeps around the map. GR75 is pretty doable with most classes (or just PL a necro or wiz and have it in about 6 hours  ) and the boss one isn't too bad if there's some coordination. 4 peeps, everybody has assigned bosses and the last one there is the one you do first with everybody else porting to town. I did it with some goons over discord a few seasons back and I was pretty slow but we still got it first try.

Definitely the easiest way to guarantee the conquest. I'd hug the walls a lot more during the initial runthrough though since you can trigger many more of the little crab dudes and not have to worry about running out or even having to clear the whole thing.

Jesseth's Skullshield can't roll essence as a secondary, but not sure why (likely an oversight). Even if it could, essence secondary is not the most important stat compared to others that bring far more damage, like 10 crit in this case.

I've been debating that with the Trag set since you get essentially twice the value. Obviously you need other defensive stats still but it would be fun to tinker around with how big of a health pool you could get. st archews gage would provide a hell of a shield if you stacked it with other bonuses, for example.

^burtle posted:They straight up include dialogue that says, "Then Diablo is out there again somewhere" when you finish Act 5, so D4 is inevitable. Yep. That said, I'm kind of curious what the lag time is going to be like on it. Blizzard is notorious for taking their sweet time developing sequels. Twelve years went by between D2 and D3. We're only 4 years into D3 right now, so even a quick (by blizzard standards) turn around might have us waiting another 3 or 4 years for a sequel.

Loreth's Sunstone is a cool ring to pair with Trag's since with a gigundo 3mil health pool you still have like 600,000 HP even when you're at 20% health and get 80% DR.
