Wizard is #1 class of all time but Impale is the most fun set D3 has ever produced, so you can't go wrong with either one. Just make sure you roll FEMALE Wiz as this is critical to your success.

Impale looks pretty easy to gear for, tho im sure HPS can be a bitch if the rng dont love ya. DH it is as after a quick look i aint played with build before.

I would always opt towards playing a new class over rebirthing because it really helps you develop a better game sense and teaches you new things about the game.

I can't even keep to one class during a season, let alone playing the same one season to season. A new class, new sets/specs/items, is the most fun part of the game for me.

You can't use it in season if you got the cache already. But if you didn't, then belt once season starts. Stupid D3Planner Kadala site is down, but I believe the grenade belt is what you're looking for. I forgot the name. Hellcat Waistguard.

So I’ve run into a bit of a major pain in the rear end on Torment 3 with my solo Crusader build on the PS4. I just cannot seem to kill Treasure Goblins fast enough with the new community “buff” that has them spawn in pairs. I can usually focus down one but the other escapes off-screen before I can get to it and it’s getting frustrating for me. (My current Crusader build is geared towards stuns and immobilizations, as well as Heaven’s Fury for its versatility)

Could anyone lend some advice/post some builds spec’d towards one-shotting these bastards, especially the Gelatinous Spawners?

Seriously though, Diablo 3 is pretty rigid in what's a good build and what's not. If you're saying you whipped up a build and it doesn't use the 6 piece bonus of a green set, the only real advice I can give you is to lower the difficulty...

What's the easiest way to get to 70 on a fresh season? Previously I had a friend powerlevel me to 70 in about 20 minutes but I'm assuming it will be a few days before people will be able to PL that quickly.

Here's a more detailed guide on some common strategies:

Huh. Duski's speedfarming build for the monk uses Pinto's as the cubed bracers. And you can gamble for those at level 1. Hmm.

Anyone want to run the challenge in about two and a half hours?

Oh man, the level 70 weapon reroll trick is a hilariously powerful game changer. At level 45 I was able to smash through a torment rift and come out of it at 57.

Until recently it wasn't possible as upgrading your blacksmith to craft level 70 gear required DBs that you couldn't obtain before CRs became a thing.

Yeah, challenge rift rewards completely break open the first day of the season. I started with three great uniques for my monk and was halfway through the second chapter of the seasons journey before hitting 70. The real game is incremental gear improvement and paragon grinding in the endgame though.

I got a nice powerlevel from a goon (thanks Umberger) and didn't mess around with the weapon crafting but the CR loot let me get some key low level gambles in for that instant power spike at 70.

Why game? Why couldn't you have rolled with +discipline, or vitality/multishot instead of that socket? It's the best DML I've ever gotten, but it was SO CLOSE to being perfect. :(

A socket honestly isn't the worst thing in the world for that DML. Just make sure you reroll the secondary for Discipline.

Can anyone explain to me how good Blood Brother (cube or equipped) is for Invoker? Right now I am using a 1.4speed ancient one hander and got Swiftmount cubed.
As I see it Blood Brother would simply increase my toughness?

Overall this spec is fun but the way the 6set bonus works makes it kinda boring. Most abilities or items that benefit from thorns (Hacksaw, Bombardment on the bar, pony with thorns rune) are pretty drat useless because they don't get the massive 6 set bonus.

The public game joining bug or whatever that seems to be happening is really putting a damper on doing split bounties. How can they not change anything yet still gently caress things up? :allears:

Yea, I didn't know about the bug yesterday and spent a while joining/leaving games across T10-13 looking for a full bounty group until I foudn out about the bug. I did a few 2-man bounty runs, got my 40 items cubed, don't plan on it again outside 3-4 people from LLJK doing a run.

E: Also, FYI, the Journey is bugged in that it doesn't seem to count every conquest. The Curses one doesn't show up for me, so I can't finish the last chapter, but this has happened before so we just have to wait for it to be fixed (or try doing a 4th conquest I guess).

Blood Brother will increase your toughness and contribute to your Thorns damage, it's better for your cube than swiftmount if you want to push GRs instead of speedfarming.

It's also absolutely critical to have this playing in the background while you are rifting as Thornsader.

Anything in T13 is solved by goldwrap/boon/avarice band for pretty much all classes if you don't have toughness. Doesn't work out for GR's, obviously.

DMOrb is extremely tanky as is anything Archon, where your toughness often goes into the billions.
