You know, one of the things I like the most about the LazyStorm build is using Bone Spirit. It's a cool-rear end spell that hits like a nuke, and it's another one of those things where it's rather disappointing that the Good Necromancer Builds are all so niche in what they use. Particularly since the skill pool is so narrow to begin with.

Bone Spirit needs some sort of interaction with Pestilence (at the very least!), Death Nova needs legendary support that isn't complete garbage, and it's a crime that CE builds top out as low as they do.

You should check out the blood nova build on diablofans. It's a speed build that can do up to torment 12 really well, could probably do 13 with excellent gear but I found it slows down pretty quick. The damage isnt there without cubing scythe of the cycle to speed run much higher but ingeom is a must for speed builds. Just a recommendation if you wanted to try to shoe death nova into a build.

I tried to do Boss Rush with a group last night, but never got a pop up for Kulle, and had no idea he was even dead until after everyone else got the achievement.

Anyone else run into an issue with boss fights not popping up? Just trying to figure out if there's something I can do to minimize it before trying again.

It's run on T10. Killing speed doesn't matter, covering long distances quickly is what matters.

Forgot it was T10, that's very doable for the build. I can throw swiftmount in the cube for extra mobility.

I assume the strategy is to have people run to boss entrances, tp back to town and then accept an invite to another fight?

The usual strategy is to have everyone find a boss (start with the toughest to find, e.g. Adria) and TP back to town and wait. The last person to find their boss triggers the fight. Once the boss is dead, someone else WAYPOINTS (not TP!) back to town and takes their portal down to the boss they found and triggers that fight, and so own until all found bosses have been fought. Split up and find new bosses and repeat the process.

Note that to get credit, you must participate in every single boss fight. The timer also starts from game creation, not when you fight the first boss.

I've been enjoying the Lazystorm build, and I don't even have a Blind Faith yet. I'm almost reluctant to get one too as it'd mean losing a fair bit of durability due to having to shoehorn a RoRG into my build. Replacing my ancient, augmented Inarius helm won't be fun either.

I don't think Console has "waypoint" in addition to "teleport".

We just have a button for "teleport back to town, with a Portal in town that can take us back to where we originated"

Do any of these Boss Mode guides work for Console?

I got my Demon Hunter to the point that I can comfortably farm T13 rifts with 1-2 deaths if I'm sloppy. Do I just farm those now and slowly replace my gear with Ancient stuff so I can do GR70 to unlock Primals?

I don't even use blind faith and lazily run GR70s in about 3-4 minutes, depending on how many juggernauts I run across. I also use the 2h Reilena though, so I run slower, but I kill faster. It doesn't have to spam bone armor to keep movement speed up from the offhand, although I do use my mouse buttons to stun big packs (bone spikes) or elites (corpse lance) as I run around when I just need to melt things. I might try it out one of these days, but giving up Lornelle's or Unity feels really squishy, even if running Aquilas and String of Ears. I don't use dayntee because having to constantly curse everything sounds like a lot of work and if running with another necro, we have to fight for the damage reduction (Blizz, please change this for S12).

I got a primal golden flense last night, which allowed me to finally make it onto the crusader S11 leaderboard! Now I just need a furnace (and a ramalalal's gift) and hopefully I can hit GR80.

I'd ask in LLJK or post your profile here and ask for advice because a DH (at least shadow) can do GR70 comfortably without any ancients (although an ancient dagger won't hurt).

As far as I can tell the ticks from the bone storm keep the stacks up permanently though? Assuming you're running the cold damage rune, which it sounds like you are.

But yeah, I'm not thrilled about losing either Unity or Compass Rose myself.

Those two missing legendary gems are definitely doing you no favours at all. There are a few minor issues like bad/missing affixes (no elemental damage on the bracers, only one socket in the pants, low gem tiers in general, wasted skill/MS on the boots) that would enhance your performance a bit as well if addressed. It looks like you'll need considerable more cooldown reduction to get perma-Vengeance as well.

Work on getting "your follower can't die" class tokens for your Enchantress/Templar as well – shouldn't be hard using the cube to upgrade rare items. Either of them would be a better choice than the Scoundrel, who unfortunately doesn't add all that much in the grand scheme of things.

Apologies if I'm way off the mark here, but it looks like you're halfway between running the Marauder-Sentry Build and running the Marauder-Shadow-Fan of Knives Build.

You've got the 6pc bonus of Marauder but you don't have Sentry as a skill which is very strange, so it's doing literally nothing for you.

Try this build! You're really close to it and it'll let you go GR70 without any need for Ancients and DEFINITELY no need for Augments.

Yeah I'm working on getting a new necklace and ring, or at least reforging them to get a socket so I can put in the two legendary gems. I used the Scoundrel since I had the better gear for him but want to switch to the Templar for sure for the heals. Thanks!

Lol, I have no clue what happened. I was viewing a different hero/profile.

You need to get Sockets on all 3 pieces of jewelry and Bane of the Trapped and Bane of the Stricken to your build. Make sure all 3 are at least at level 25 before you attempt a gr70.

Get all of the Emeralds on your character to lv10. Right now you've got some low level emeralds. Plus you only have 1x socket on your Pants, so try and find a second pair of Depth Diggers with two sockets (I had no idea it could even roll with a single socket!)

On your Wraps of Clarity, roll "Life per Hit" off and roll "Fire Damage" on.

On your Unsanctified Shoulders, roll off "Rain of Vengeance" for Area Damage.

On your Hellcat Waistguard, keep rolling that Grenade Damage one until you get the perfect 15%.

On your Fiendish Grips, keep rolling that Critical Damage one until you get the perfect 50%.

Your Compass Rose sucks, so you could Reforge that and I almost guarantee it'll be better than your current one.

Your Hellwalkers suck too (Rapid Fire Damage but you don't use Rapid Fire) so use your blood shards on Shoes for a while and hope for better Hellwalkers.

Overall, you're lucky enough to have 2x Ancient Weapons and you're wearing all the correct gear. Do a pinch of optimizing, get your 3 legendary gems equipped, and get your Emeralds all to lv10 and you'll ace a gr70 with no deaths in 5 minutes.

I have no idea what happened to the gems. I unsocketed those 2 gems to help leveling, put in stash, made a new character and they are gone. I've gone over all my gear a few times and even the wardrobe says the gems don't exist.

Wizard brothers. How likely am I to manage a GR70 using a Tal Rasha Spectral Blades build?

I get that lightning archon is great and all, I do not yet have a star fire to make it work (nor Manald Heal). I stomped my first run at 50 in 4:47 with the gear I have. Is there some upper limit to where this build will be able to go?

*edit* Will be switching Bane of the Powerful for Esoteric Alteration when I start progressing further. If I ever see a Manald Heal I'll swap Arcane Dynamo for Paralysis.
