Is there a guide for key items I should be looking for and where to get them?

What do you mean by gambling on a level 11 necro? Make a new Necromancer and put some blood crystals in the Stash so they can use Kadala?

Blood shards are account wide, but yes that's the general idea. By gambling on a level 11 you limit the pool of items to roll from. Since that ring is first available at 11 as a drop you have a better chance at your legendary upgrade being the one you want.

You don’t have to be 11. You can do it ay level 1 so no need to waste your time leveling it up 10 levels

You can always gamble, but the pool of possible drops is somewhat level bound I thought. http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Circle_of_Nailuj%27s_Evol https://us.diablo3.com/en/item/circle-of-nailujs-evol-P6_Unique_Ring_01

I'll try that out since it's the only ring I'm missing in terms of rings for the Rathma Skelemancer; I got two Krysbins and a Convention of Elements today (the Krysbins lack a Socket though...  might need to Enchant one).

I gambled that ring on my level 1 Necro this season for example.

Confirmation bias is a bastard in that case, that is great to know for the future! It definitely would also explain why I was rolling items the level 11 couldn't equip that were just magic.

Hahah holy what the gently caress, I just got full Rathma's for the first time on my Necro backed by the Jesseth scythe/shield combo and I feel like I've ascended into a higher state of being. I'm pretty sure my skeletons could literally kill god now, I love this game.

The power jumps along the way from T1 to T13 with set bonuses and getting the right synergies are DBZ-esque and part of why the season journey feels so good, yeah

NitroSpazzz posted:Working on gearing a Tal Rasha explosive blast (https://www.diablofans.com/builds/100395-tal-rasha-explosive-blast-speedfarm-season-15) wizard now. Had the rings but accidentally salvaged them when clearing out a bunch of stash junk. Still missing most of the uniques, not switching to explosive blast until I have the wand of woh and orb on infinite depth. Got this up and running today with a couple tweaks....it's something. Non stop explosions and using Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac which when it decides to proc on explosive blast a few times in a row means several seconds of continued explosions. Not the fastest build out there I'm sure but it's lazy to play and farming T10 for now very comfortably. Would be nice if you could do something similar to the numlock trick on switch instead of holding three buttons the whole time.

Finally Kanai'd Nailuj and holy gently caress, my Rathma set game went up to the next level after my game already went up with the full Rathma set!  I finally got through Greater Rift 48 that seemed so hard when I got it cubed! The feel of how powerful you become when everything finally clicks together is amazing.

Finally got the 6 piece for the bone lance necro set, used it and realized it was a kiting and cooldown build, and immediately rerolled a DH. I would rather push buttons.

Yeah it’s a certain mindset. Imo the trag version is more fun to play (probably because it has better defense) but it really isn’t something fun to play unless you are literally trying to push your absolute highest gr (and of course once you’re doing that you exchange unity for coe and are then fishing for rifts without spear chuckers and what not. It takes me back to my inferno diablo kill wizard which was basically casting hydra and blizzard and running around for my life.

You can do a decent Blood Mage build with Trags that isn't cooldown-reliant and very tanky, I liked that the last time I played as Necro.

I was up to GR 43 using Rathma but it was too passive for me. I was excited to try the bone lance build but it's also just not my style. I'm gonna do the old tried and true multishot build once I get this DH leveled.

I tried both and I think that one seems stronger than the Jesseth set?

You may be right. I think the top Necro on the leaderboards for Grifts uses Cycle and an Iron Rose in the offhand.

Any recommendations on better defense for Rathmas? I switched over to using bone armor + wisdom of kalan which is helping a bit but still getting one shotted a lot and capping out at GR67, really want to break 70. Would compass rose be better?

So like, the last CH4 Season thing I need to do is a Greater Rift at 20. This is my first GR. I did it at 20. I'm... surviving... but definitely just ran out of my time. Will lower GR's give me things that may help escalate my ability to run a 20 GR? Or should I just see if someone on my friend's list wants to help...

Yes lower GRs still drop the gems and allow you to level them up to a certain point. So depending on what gems are good for your build, getting them to level 10-15 (or just equipping them period) may get you enough of a boost to break GR20.

That one gem that gives 10,000 hp/sec plus the pants that give like 10x life per second as a damage aura are really helping me level this second character.

I may need to look up Legendary Gems in general. Also, I beat the GR20. Solo. No bonus. But I beat it. (I mean, I did die a couple times) But I did not get the challenge. It says to REACH GREATER RIFT LEVEL 20 SOLO. Do I need to start from GR1 or something?

Haha, holy poo poo. I actually fully put together: https://www.icy-veins.com/d3/necromancer-skeletal-mages-build-with-rathma-and-jesseth-sets-patch-2-6-1-season-15 and used the build as designed, minus belt and the gems because I'm still using my leveled defensive gems. Saw a crit lastnight for 60b??? holy hell, t13 melts after I made a slight change to my playstyle. gg necro Feenix posted:I may need to look up Legendary Gems in general. That.. i'm confused about but no starting at 1 isn't required.. Maybe just try doing 21 or 22 / next highest and see if that triggers it?

Yeah, like m.hache said, you have to complete the rift, including killing the Guardian, within the 15 minute time limit for it to be considered successfully completed. You still get the item drops from the Guardian if you don't, but you don't get the achievement, it won't unlock higher rifts, and you can't upgrade your legendary gems.

T2 has a 25% chance to drop 2 keys, it's not 100% chance for 2 until T11. I think the sweet spot for rifts is 2-4 minutes, if you're going slower then that then crank it down.

I think the sweet spot for rifts is 2-4 minutes, if you're going slower then that then crank it down. You can also party up for your regular rifts. T1 is a great difficulty for groups since people do that for speed and you're also eligible for the torment legendaries. Plus you get the group magic find buffs.

Does armor with a perk like “Gain Thorns equal to 264% of your vitality” do anything for a wizard that does not deal or have thorn damage? Asking for a, uh, friend. You wouldn’t know him, he goes to another school.

If I recall the only real character that can use thorns effectively is the crusader who can specifically build around it. Otherwise it's a wasted stat.
