I hit 50 last night but felt like I should have been higher. I'm only on hard I think and these rifts are getting slower.

Does the Numlock trick still work? If so, is it a bannable offense?

get in a public group, seriously. also my crafted 70 weapon was obsolete by two handed drops at like level 55 so I dunno how worth it it truly is.

anyway I did 1 - 70 in probably about 3.5 hours yesterday (honestly maybe less) including a run for the cube, in two public groups.

grouping up makes the rifts a lot faster generally, also I got lucky nems which helped a lot, I'll admit.

I'm mostly going to play my firebat witch doctor in groups. All the guides recommend unity in the cube, but is there a good recommendation for something I can Cube for the jewelry slot that will be useful in groups?

HoTA barb is working well. Once I got the gavel and the IK six piece everything came together pretty cleanly. Clearing 55 rifts in about four minutes right now, and I have a lot of crap gear. I did just get this. Is it better to roll off str or %life for the socket?

No one I know plays the game in Portuguese though and we sometimes called Hell as Inferno because it didn't matter which language we were speaking, whatever word came first to mind was the one used. Luckily enough the confusion only lasted a few days because by then Hell was obsolete already.

I'm just getting into this game and I'm really enjoying stomping around as a Crusader lady just crushing everything in sight on hard difficulty. I tried raising the difficulty to master and I got one-shotted so I guess I'll need to research better builds. I tried the recommended build that has me chucking those spinny hammers around me, but I didn't find it any fun.

How much stuff am I missing out on staying at hard difficulty?

Should I be keeping all the legendaries I find? I've been selling them if I don't like the stats. :ohdear:

Don't necessarily need to keep them, but make sure they aren't one enchantable stay away from being good. If they have trash rolls, then you should either cube them or save them to cube. If they don't have an extractable power or you already have it extracted then go ahead and salvage it.

Edit, it's also worth keeping "ok legendaries if you plan on running another character. Like you can leach gear with a barb from your crusader.

Crusader lady is so chill. Am loving her voice - "I enjoyed that!"

You're missing out on a few more legendary drops by not being master/torment, but that's no big deal while you level. Stay at whatever difficulty you can plough through easily, game only starts at lvl 70, etc.

As to any legendary stuff you find while levelling, if it has a hollow orange diamond next to one of the buffs, then maybe keep hold of it - you can cube those powers at 70 and they're just as good from a low level item when you do.

If orange diamond is filled (like in image Filthy Monkey posted earlier), and item is low level, then you can't do much with it. Though don't forget your hireling can use some of your unwanted gear. As a crusader you should have paladin guy, he likes strength too, and it actually makes a difference up until torment levels.

Once it's junk though, salvage orange items at blacksmith for a forgotten soul - don't sell for gold, you'll be drowning in gold soon enough.

CoE for more damage really, I wouldn't play firebats unless you have proper support classes that let you sit and spin, and the support classes should have occulus rings already. Hopefully your zmonk buddy will help you along throughout the rift, it's really easy to get stuck with spirit walk on cool down.

Orion, this is Sperglord Actual.
Come on home.
So the buff to Nats has been pretty good so far, I got a ancient Holy Point Shot from like my 6th gamble, and the dagger upgrade went right into a Karlei's as planned. Cubed the dagger (since RoV needs a bow) and I can get up to speed clearing T9 now, which feels like steady progression since I hit 70 like 3-4 hours before that point.

It's kinda nice that RoV just procs a generic damage buff too, since it means I'm not chasing a Yang's Recurve or whatever other weapon for however long that takes to really get going. You can kind of just take what comes and make it work.

Swap Whirlwind for a generator
Swap Charge for Ground stomp (wrenching smash) this will group all your mobs for a HotA

Make a lvl 1 barbarian and gamble rings and bracers until you get band of might and bracers of first men for your cube

This will be your IK build that can help you farm TX-TXIII until all your WW Gear drops

I've been having fun with an IK build that spams Seismic Slam to increase the damage of earthquake, and then the 2h that spawns an earthquake whenever you use one of your shouts. It's good.

I tried those changes and I still do absolutely no damage outside of WOTB. I got the ring and cubed it but if I take off Charge I have zero mobility. Not sure what to do. I feel like 6pc IK and an ancient IKBB should be able to clear T6 so I have to be doing something wrong. Really frustrating.

6PC IK completely revolves around Wrath of the Berserker. After T8 you aren’t expected to do damage outside outside of Goku-form , that’s literally the playstyle.

Spawn in
Summon bros (rune together as one)
Pop Goku
Groundstomp mobs
HotA them until Goku is off cooldown
Re-pop Goku

I would suggest gambling bracers and upgrading 2h mighty weapons until you have first men and gavel. With them, and the rest of your pieces, you should be able to do GR70.
https://www.d3planner.com/539294194

Doing HoTA myself, using an ancient IK hammer right now instead of little rogue and slanderer (I plan to switch into charge), and GR 75 is very doable. Still have a lot of crap gear too.

This is the build im using explained by my favorite streamer, if you want as indepth an explanation as you can probably get.

But the Ring and the bracers provide you with multipliers outside of your Wrath form, so those increase your damage and survivability when its on cooldown, and leap is fine, but id recommend furious charge because it does more damage.
