Looking for advice about improvements to my Impale DH:

https://us.diablo3.com/en/profile/Grummun-1685/hero/99309228

I'm re-forging an amulet on the side and I know I need some more augments, but is there anything glaring besides that?

Speaking of augments, what's the easiest way to farm Ancient pieces of my set gear? Just GR & gamble?

Can't get no luck.

I think most people run with Wolf companion rather than boar? Other than that, nothing glaring I can see.

And yeah reforge and gamble, and just generally run lots of rifts so you're getting legendary drops (which you need for souls to reforge anyway).

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


You should try to get Impale % on your helm and anything besides Area Damage on shoulders since it's near-useless for Shadow. Wolf instead of Boar. Also probably going for a higher legendary roll on the Karlei's and CoE. I'd try to gamble your set chest and legs first for ancients to augment since they're very straightforward slots and aren't likely to frustrate you with crap rolls.

So hot ...
I finally cleared a 70, closest before was a 65 in season 11. I'm kinda stuck on what to do now besides re-rolling individual pieces, which means running bounties? Not sure I want to move the whole thing over to Firebird's. https://us.diablo3.com/en/profile/JawnV-1851/hero/98691592

I keep seeing other builds zooming past me, so I asked someone to plvl a monk. Sunwuko's the speediest or should I just make a support monk?

Kind of surprised they don't at least juice things a bit by only allowing set or affix-granting primals to drop

You only have to beat GR 70. Then it's just a matter of a legendary item rolling as primal. There is no difficulty level in the game that makes primal items more likely to drop.

Are there any active communities, clans or players on PS4? I mostly play PC, but I've pushed to the augmenting part of this season where I usually drop off. I would like a power level if anyone is still playing there this late in the season.

PSN is ShipyardLegend

I think the challenge rifts would be strictly better if they only chose builds off The Thrill conquest leaderboards.

The last EU one was literally a Thrill build on a level 45 rift.

Still sucked.

It's an LoN build and all the off-class items are ancients! It's the easiest rift in months, you ninnies

It was the easiest one on NA PC version since maybe the very first one this season. Activate 1 3 4 and tap RMB and use 2 to to around. Beat it first try with 30ish seconds left

I seem to remember an article stating that they would like to release a D2 remaster edition, but the main thing holding them back is just how to prevent the mass hacking and botting.

i really like this resource for providing endgame structure: https://d3resource.com/journey/

if you aren't running a seasonal character you should start one. it'll take an hour or so to get back to 70

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.

Never play HC.

Seriously, now: I've had a thing today where all the blues and golds on rift levels seem to appear in the same place. I've sometimes been fighting two gold and two blue packs at the same time, and it's happened two or three times now. Anyone else seen that?

(Also gently caress Kadala, I must have dropped 10k shards and got two of every other Spirit Stone but no Gaze.)

So I’ve completed enough seasonal tasks to get the full 6 pieces of the Sunwuko set (Monk), and the complete set bonus is insane. Will I be using this full set of armor for a really long time? Because I can’t see myself ever switching a piece out unless I have a huge upgrade for every item.

Also, can you pull a set bonus property off a piece of armor and use it in the cube? Or is that only from legendaries?

I’m just running around spamming the Bell attack dropping 50+ million damage per attack and it’s awesome :D

Legendaries only. You can wear or cube a RoRG to cut down the number of pieces you need to wear and most Bell builds do because the Gaze spirit stone is a must. Properly specced and with not a lot of effort you'll be dropping bells at 2-5 billion.
