I tried to do the corvus runs, but without Avarice, its pointless. Thats yet another piece of jewelry that has alluded me this season.

loving stupid how incredibly rare some things are turning out to being this season.

I did it without the ring, just make sure on your initial run through where you open doors you don't have your non-combat pet out, and bring it out for the real run when you kill everything for gold since it will collect it. It took me a couple of tries but wasn't really a problem. Much easier than the average set dungeon.

Avarice is the one that boosts pickup radius isn't it? That was my issue when attempting it on TX. My pet and I couldn't pick up the gold explosions fast enough.

I think my gold chain ended around 32-34 million. Was just a short version of that map. Not likely to go try again, too pissed off at being stuck at GR68, dying so drat fast, I get 30+ sec added onto the clock every time I revive.

Getting insta-gibbed on respawn because there are 4-5 spear chucking goat fuckers standing in range, blows rear end. I rage quit out of my last attempt when I was like 3 min behind the timer.

I gathered 63 bounty caches, then hosed up while opening them and didn't get avarice. Is there some keybind or something that lets me open a cache while it's in the stash or while I have the stash open?

You need to dismiss your pet but otherwise I cant see how you can fail doing it, just literally dont move until you've opened them all.

Ah that would have been my mistake then I had the pet out. Ah well I need to reforge more legendaries, so I can use the bounty mats.

This might not need to be said, but keep in mind Avarice is one of those rings that only drops from Act 3 bounty caches. Running bounties for materials to reforge things has led to me getting somewhere between 5 or 6 of them and the rings of royal grandeur.

Also wanted to post this, my second primal drop ever has me PUMPED.

I've done 10-15 full sets of bounties for mats to throw at reforging. Its just painfully rare this time around.

Also you suck for that ring.

Finally managed to clear 70, after a dozen failures. Hard to get a rift that isn't full of ranged mobs.

Run bounties until your eyes bleed to get reforge mats for the bracers and db's to upgrade rares for the weapon.

Do items have different rarities each season? I see a lot of "boy, ____ sure is rare this time!" and I can't tell if it's because they literally nuked the drop rate for Stone of Jordan in season 11 or if it's just people doing the ol RNG QQ

Seconding this. I did it without any kind of pet, even. Just run through to spawn everything then chew your way back from the beginning. Use a hoarder's boon and a gold wrap and make sure you've maxed out your paragon GF. I think I was sitting at around 9k GF?

I think it took me 5 tries or so, but it's very doable. Killing speed isn't really an issue, so bump up from TX if you have to. I think I might have done mine at T12 or T13.

For DH impale build you can autocast vengeance, companion, and FoK but I've found it easier just to continually mash them so I don't have to fiddle with turning off autocasting when I'm in town

Why Blizzard still haven't added an autocast/repeat feature is beyond me. It'd beat the shitshow that is the Numpad "trick" by a mile and just be a significant QoL improvement overall.

But perhaps they don't have anyone left who could delve into the engine and rejigger stuff to make it work, assuming they'd even want to make the change at all.

As much as I enjoy Rhyker talking about build guides and all. His newest video I don't find at all appealing to the one I am used to doing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc1Sd64faOk

It is almost a piece by piece setup to the one made by Lordfluffy, who in my opinion made a much better speed build:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50EF4axQFek

With Rhykker you have to pick and choose who to kill due to Corpse lance / Bone armor. With LordFluffy, it's basically the same thing except you just blow up the entire map as you zip along from elite pack to elite pack. Am I the only one who finds this to be a rip off?

Even has the same "I am not really liking using 2m cooldowns due to how fast this runs" deal.

I discovered the 'numlock trick' only yesterday. Very useful for keeping vengeance up all the time on a DH (previously I would dress all in white to make not glowing red very obvious!), and it means I can finally start using Necro devour with non-aura rune, because gently caress activating that all the time.

How do you turn off numlock auto-cast without unbinding the key? It gets a bit annoying in town with the "I can't do that" spam.

You can temporarily interrupt numlock autocasting by opening chat with enter, pulling the esc menu or opening the map. To turn it off, turn numlock back on and tap the keys that are being autocast.

Hold the number and numlock again.

Also, yeah, it completely obsoletes the necro devour aura rune. I have to imagine this is something they'd like to fix but don't have the code guys on the team any more.

- Have numlock on
- Bind actionbar abilities to 1-4 numlock
- In-game, hold down one of those buttons while turning off numlock
- Wala, autocast

You know he's the villain, because he's got shifty eyes.
Setup:

- In key bindings, give your skills keys (1-2-3-4 by default) a secondary key of numpad1, numpad2, numpad3, numpad4.
- Bind force move (not bound by default) to your mouse wheel. This is important.

Usage:

- Let's say you want to autocast abilities 3 and 4. Make sure Num Lock is on and press and hold numpad3 and numpad4, tap Num Lock to turn it off. Let go of numpad3 and numpad4. Now you're autocasting.
- To temporarily interrupt autocasting, open chat, open map, or open the esc menu. Once you close them, you'll resume autocasting.
- To completely stop autocasting, turn Num Lock back on and tap the keys that are autofiring.

Numlock will NOT autofire if you're holding another key or mouse button down, so keep this in mind. This is why you bind force move to the mouse wheel, so you can actually move around while stuff is autofiring.

I used almost every deaths breath I got on upgrading rares and it took me until p500 or so to get a flense. At which point I had great gear for the shield bash/glare build I was using and for the hammerdin build and I never really ended up using the flense at all anyway. But I'm glad I have it.

Then one dropped in a rift a day or two later randomly - also happens to be ancient. Still haven't used it.
