Disintegrate is the coolest skill. It's too bad there isn't a single competitive build that uses it (I think?)

Disintegrate has consistently felt satisfying and fun since the closed beta to me, if I'm playing Wizard I'm finding a way to fit it in.

You can use disintegrate or ray of frost with meteor builds if you want to its just a little sub optimal and can gently caress with your meteor type.
The Tal's meteor-channel build uses Ray of Frost as its primary channel, AFAIK, because Cold Blood plus Power of the Storm gets you a really cheap channel.

So now that Consoles have gotten 3 Seasons under their belt, we've got all 6 pieces of the Conqueror transmog unlocked.

Do Conqueror transmogs only go to Non-Season though? I literally only play Seasonal so it's a bit lame if my NonSeason guy can wear all 6 but my Seasonal will only ever have 2 Conqueror transmogs.

I believe it's one of the xmogs that is always available once unlocked, so you should be able to use them right away during every season, like some of the "white" weapon xmogs.

Awesome, hoping so.

You know what's silly? The Console versions don't have any names associated with transmogs. It's just a list of images with no name. You might be able to reverse-check the name by transmogging something and then inspecting the gear, though.

New wizard set idea.

2 pc: Mirror image clones lasts forever.
4 pc: Mirror image clones cast channeling spells (ray of frost/arcane torrent/disintegration) at equal strength as the player.
6 pc. Any enemy hit by three channeling spells at the same time take (insert percentage) increased damage.

It's a little finnicky at first and depends on cdr quite a bit but I can run GR70s in <3 minutes with it. Just always spam bone spear to proc zodiac while you teleport around, autocasting devour shoots corpse lances at everything on the screen for you.

Probably, use the amulet that doubles duration, run gogok, orotz, ingeom, cdr in every slot.

How do you reliably play with other people? Is 0-70 just a solitary desert now?

That's because even solo with no boosts of any kind you do 0-70 in like...three hours? It's practically the tutorial.

Join the LLJK community. It's reasonably busy.

You can ask for a powerlevel if you want to skip 0-70. If not, then you'll probably be on your own until you get to 70, at which point you can join public games or play with other goons.

They do give a poo poo and you absolutely will be banned. gently caress off huge ban waves still happen all the time and are usually timed for end of seasons to make sure the cheaters don't have enough time to reclimb the ladder.

There are clans and communities. When we refer to LLJK we mean the community. On PC, do a community search for LLJK and just join it. It'll be another chat you sit in, like General, and you can make Goons do your bidding ask for favors.

Caveat Emptor, but their official stance is that it isn't allowed, it is actively scanned for, and actively banned for.

Do you have a source for people being banned for TurboHUD? And if so, were they just top 100 players? I don't care about being top 100.

Since it involves Warden, Blizzard likely will never say much about it, but thud's FAQ talks about how it is not officially sanctioned and detectable by Warden, and apparently in a Q69 interview a dev said it wasn't allowed.

I am not going to try and hunt that thing down, but just be aware that its use is bannable, whether they actively ban frequently for it or not. Botting is the bigger fish they go for, no argument there, which is why I said caveat emptor for using thud.

So, no on the source for me being absolutely banned?

EDIT: I'm aware that it is bannable, I asked for examples of people being banned, ever, that aren't top 100 ladder.

It happened a couple seasons ago where a pretty big wave went out for it. I highly doubt people slumming it sub GR100 will come up on their radar though.
