That should only happen if you're trying to click and drag for some reason. If you just point your cursor normally on the ground then your character will continue moving toward that spot.

What am I doing wrong? This doesn't work for me.

It doesn't work that way. You can click a point, quickly tab to look at the map, but you'll need to tab back to keep moving. He may be thinking of D2.

When I need to bring up the map, I just click to move, hold the cursor down and flip tab for a little bit until I figure out where to go. My inputs stay just as they were until I have to order another command and the minimap is only up for a split second. I figured this was how everybody used the overlay? :confused:

I think he's trying to move with the map permanently open like you could in D2, but that doesn't work in D3.

Flipping the map on and off to maintain control is not a great experience.

Every rift floor has exactly one entrance and one exit, and once you see enough of them you instinctually start to grasp where they will be. As long as you move in a direction that is away from where you started you'll eventually find where you have to go.

Yeah I know. I'm not one of those people that likes their map superimposed on the screen at all times. I just noticed that this was one (minor) thing that occasionally broke the flow. In the downtime between fights, especially when I'm returning from a dead end, I like to look at the layout to see if there's any areas I missed, any halls I didn't explore.

I don't see the point of legendaries with Rare-like stats and no special effect.



Also Diablo (boss) was underwhelming (on expert). I was expecting more transformations/phases. A few of the other lords were more interesting and challenging.

Some legendaries are just more common than others. Also, what can drop is tied to your level so for a few slots, there aren't a lot of options.

It definitely is. You'll get something for another class once in a while but it's mostly stuff for whatever class you're playing.

Correct there's "Smart Loot" that should give you more class specific loot and more items with your main stat (STR/DEX/INT), a lot of the best loot (class sets) won't unlock until you're playing at least Torment 1 at L70, so hitting that is your 1st big goal.

With jaywilson loot you'd have your stash full of crap like wizard gear that rolled strength and +% damage to a DH skill or some poo poo.

Smart loot dropping stuff for other classes is entirely deliberate and meant to encourage you to make other characters.

Use it all. All of that poo poo is account wide, within each category. Non season softcore, non season hardcore, season softcore, season hardcore.

When season ends, all that poo poo gets dumped into non-seasonal so you don't lose it.

Every character will know the plans once you feed them to your blacksmith + jeweler.

In complete honesty the yellow recipes are probably the most useful ones for leveling other characters if you're too stubborn to get a power level. Almost all of the crafted legendaries are totally worthless with only a couple exceptions for a couple builds.

You put together one of your class sets and supporting items, do the seasonal journey, kill monsters until you get sick of it, then find something else to do until you feel like rolling up another set + class.

I've tried and failed to find them, but once upon a time there were some images published which showed the different tilesets and which way they'd go together so, with some red lines overlaid which provided a rough guide for how to run the tilesets in the most efficient manner.

Fun stuff like the Vault (I love that you can just keep smacking the chest shut) was missing from the campaign. You had the occasional challenge chest, but it was rare.

I'm on PS4 so I can't link my b.net but here's a few blurry pics of my TV.






Zeis/Bane/Enforcer for gems, Haunted Visions/CoE/Krysbin/Circle (cube any ring depending on your rolls) for jewelry, Witching Hour. Rathma/Jesseth fill the rest.

Quick rundown of the offense sheet for gearing:
Elites % - shield
Attack Speed - weapon, belt, 1 ring
Area Damage - gloves, shoulders
Cooldown - shield, shoulders, diamond in helm
Physical % - bracers
Skeletal Mage - helm, boots

Crit is obviously everywhere available. Don't take any defensive stat unless you can't take an offensive one. In a perfect world I'd get a Haunted Visions with Phys/Crit/Crit and a good Krysbin or Circle with Crit/Crit/another non-int offensive stat but right now I have int/crit/crit in both those slots.

I still don't have ancient chest/helm/belt/jewelry on and have 2 current augment opportunities unused, working on those now while saving mats for 2.6.1

Get to 70 if you haven't. Get to at least Torment 1 difficulty and start doing adventure mode doing Rifts, Greater Rifts, and Bounties. You'll start getting class specific set drops, try to complete those and focus a build around them. There's guides on Icy Veins if you want to see what they look like. Then just destroy stuff and farm forever.

For an easy list to get you there, just hit shift+j for the season journey. Those are good objectives to go for.
