Also it’s in between seasons and honestly there isn’t anything in Diablo 3 that stressful.

Like I’m puggin rifts, ok this group sucks, drop group instantly get different group.

Honestly Diablo 3 is like the chillest game ever, now, which is why Hardcore can get so electric.

That's an interesting point, D3 probably is the most chill, least toxic game I've played in a long time. Aside from people occasionally ranting about bots or idiots making fun of eachother in general chat, it's super tame.

Hard to find multiplayer games that aren't toxic anymore. Rarely though do I even communicate with pubbies except to say "GG" after a bounty run.

Goons I'll even drop spare items for, because you guys are special.

Can I complete Chapters 2,3,4 of the Season Journey on softcore but then claim the gifts on Hardcore?

My friends are probably gonna play SC and completing the journey is a lot faster in a group.

EDIT: I'm on console which works completely differently so chances are I'll have to find out the hard way

I wanted to come back next season to play Barb.

I haven't played D3 in... years, and I'm way out of date. I've found guides re: the general stuff that's been added but I'm having a hard time finding anything Barb specific

Specifically, does anyone have any resources about how to build for the free set they give you, so I can get started on Fri? (I'm playing HC but I doubt that matters)

(Any and all other new player resources are welcome, trying to catch up as quick as I can)

This guide has three relevant sections for you

https://www.icy-veins.com/d3/barbarian-leveling-and-fresh-70-guide-patch-2-6-1-season-12

1. A build for taking your Barb from 1-70
2. A build for your Barb when you've got the 6 pieces of the free set
3. A build for when you've got the 6 pieces + a handful of supporting legendary armor/weapon/jewelry bits that will take you to the "End game"

Note that it hasn't been updated for Season 13 so the "Haedrig's Gift" section should now be about Might of the Earth, not Immortal King.

Same. The first night and weekend is always very fun for me, finding upgrades around every corner. Shortly after the journey is done, when it's down to gem/paragon/ladder grinding, it's less fun to me, but I still mess around until it's time to stop and wait for the next season.

I always get a double rush because the last 4-5 seasons I always go HAM for the first 3 days and then get bored and then about 3 days before the season ends I realize I don’t have my stash tab yet and RIP all my HC dudes so it’s like a mad dash to finish on softcore with no welfare loot

The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.

Dude, Wizards are tanky as gently caress. :psyduck:

The only problem is a lot of that tankiness comes from deflection shields, which don't have any on-screen display whatsoever besides the tooltip on the health orb. And when pushing high GRs, if something does chew through your shields, it's generally going to chew through your health even faster. So by the time you see your health move, it's probably too late.

e: Also, you're not tanky when you forget to reapply Magic Weapon and Energy Shield when entering a Greater Rift. RIP Janet, little babby GR90.

Yeah I was planning on crusader too but I just tried one out and it turns out they're extremely boring and lame and have bad personalities.

Monks are insane. The set lets you throw explosive gongs and or karate kicks with the only requirement of activating a single buff before you go hog wild.

There's 3 main group types for pushing 3 man. You can use other classes at lower level grifts as well the below is like 115-130ish 3 mans.

Zmonk + rift guardian killer (necro preferably or sader) + rift clearer (star pact wiz preferably or firebats dh).

Zmonk + zbarb + star pact wizard

Zbarb + 2 rat necros.
