Does the GR level affect loot at all? Like is there a better chance at getting good loot in a GR90 compared to a GR70?

I believe the chance for legendaries goes up as your GR does (but doesn't mean they will be good ones). And you get more blood shards of course.

I don't know if there's any publication Grift drop rates, but here are the drop rates for Normal through T-13 https://d3resource.com/difficulties/ Really all you need to know is 1. You get more legendaries for higher GRifts 2. Speedruns get you more legendaries per minute than 10+ minute pushes

I always feel like GRs also give you more class-specific gear than just a normal rift, but I could be imagining things. This is just my Diabluition from thousands of hours spent in this dumb game.

got any sevens posted:Is blizz working on diablo4 yet Blizzard spent all of last year and a little bit of the year before last doing hiring sprees for both specifically named Diablo 3 and a still as of yet new and unannounced/unnamed Diablo franchise project. This year, within the last two months, they've started posting and filling positions like dungeon artist/design for presumably the same unannounced/unnamed Diablo project, but since they haven't officially said anything yet we can't 100% for sure say its for the same thing that they were hiring for last year. Assuming all the hiring last year and this year was for the same project and said project is Diablo 4, they are at the stage where they are hiring art/design assets which would hint at them having an either mature build of the engine that they are going to use or a fully realized enough version of it to start making the in game content. All that said, I predict that this year at BlizzCon we will get nothing in particular Diablo related, but BlizzCon 2019 they'll announce D4. Then in proper Blizzard Soon™ fashion, it'll come out in 2021-2022  .exquisite tea posted:I always feel like GRs also give you more class-specific gear than just a normal rift, but I could be imagining things.

I don't love how D3 looks, but they nailed a lot of the special effects. Launching Grim Dawn after spending dozens of hours with the Wizard's walking orchestra of lights and meteors, is underwhelming to put it mildly.

On the other hand, simpler graphics like Grim Dawn's would help me be able to tell what the hell is going on in 4 player high GR pushes.

Definitely. Though imo GD has its own, lesser, problems with gameplay clarity, but that's more to do with how they represent damage types and the sheer number of damage types.

Is the scaling of difficulty in GR really steep after GR60 or something? I can run a 65 in under 3 minutes with a speedfarming setup, a 67 takes maybe 5 minutes and the Guardian gives me some issues but no deaths, but when I did my first 70 it took me forever to kill non-elite packs and I fought the Guardian for like 4 minutes because I died 5 times and almost didn't make the timer... but I finished. Also, what's the best way to farm up tons of Death Breaths? I've hit a point where the only improvements to my gear is to reroll for Ancients with better affixes but my progress has slowed considerably due to lack of mats.

Join a public T13 rift lobby, open a rift if one isn’t open, then follow whatever insane DH or Crusader that sweeps the entire thing in 2 minutes is my go to way of stocking up on those.

Nice easy Crusader CR this week. Public T13 games are great for farming, I've found public GR games tend to sweep through 80 as well which can help for those last few gem levels (assuming you're not completely dead weight).

Last I checked monster health increases linearly by roughly 17% each GR level. All other things being equal, if you just beat the timer in a GR69, you'd need to do ~17% more damage before you could clear a GR70 in the same amount of time. Of course there are always variables such as density, mob composition, pylon placement, map layout, class strengths, and individual skill that all play a role.

Speaking of Focus/Restraint. Do the 50% bonuses stack? Like 50% for using resource generator + 50% for using a resource spender = 100%?

That's the idea, yea. If your build is generator-only or spender-only or you have some gear quirk then focus/restraint might not be best-in-slot, but they often are for most people

Can you post your build? You should be reaching this "need ancients and augments" around gr85, not 65. You might be able to make some easier tweaks and shoot up by 10 grifts right away.

You might be able to make some easier tweaks and shoot up by 10 grifts right away. I should have worded it differently, but my issue is that I have all of the pieces I need for my build, just most of them are lacking decent rolls and any drops I get to replace them are worse so I'm looking at re-rolling some for minor improvements. I'm only Paragon 550 and I'm not concerned about pushing GRs now that I've hit the 70, was just wondering about the sudden spike in difficulty I ran into after 65. When I logged off I was in T13 Neph Rift farming: https://us.diablo3.com/en/profile/Celador-1297/hero/92615813

Vomik posted:Depends on what you're doing - if you're pushing with WW barb you'd want Stricken, Trapped, and Pain Enhancer. I know WW barb is not exactly a meta pushing build anyways, but can you explain or source your reasoning here? It seems like giving up Taeguk on pushing would be odd considering all the damage and armor it gives. So I'm curious what makes it work out that way.

It seems like giving up Taeguk on pushing would be odd considering all the damage and armor it gives. So I'm curious what makes it work out that way. As mentioned, pushing is an entirely different game. In almost all cases you end up sacrificing any defensive items (hence why you rarely see unity used in pushing builds) and instead of getting defense from gems you instead get defense by running in the rift seeing what monsters are there and running back out and remaking if it is bad. The Taeguk damage is nice, but pain enhancer is way more damage in the clumps of groups you need to advance your rift bar and stricken is mandatory for the RG. Trapped is trapped - it's basically the best gem in the game.

It's more difficult to play. I THINK last season that may have got more top leaderboard spots so it might be something you see more near the end of the season, or maybe it just ended up being weaker - I don't remember.

Checked some builds for Monk Hardcore and trying to gear it but my damage is really lacking. He's still being built so not really much to post yet, iis monk the type of class that comes together all at once when I have all the set/weps for the build or should it be powerful along the way (like Wizard was)? Feels underwhelming so far but I know from reading and seeing monks tear poo poo up

Barbarian Raek6 / SS instead of the usual boulder toss was a jump from 'meh' to 'I did not know this class could be so fun,' and swk6 with all the right stuff was definitely a jump from 'meh' to 'holy loving poo poo!'
