I'm going to be on the better part of the rest of the day if anyone wants to do seasonal stuff. I can do powerlevels and I have a ton of GR keys, Puzzles, and Uber keys.

Just bought D3 this morning. Powered through Act 1 (Barbarian) Got some questions: -What happens to this character when the season ends on the 16th? - Are those points I'm accumulating from completing cheevos used for anything? - Is there anything I need to know as a newcomer to the game? I played a buuuuunch of D2 back in the day but I've already noticed that this one is quite a bit different.

Powered through Act 1 (Barbarian) If you made a seasonal character (which you should, nobody should start non-season), your character will auto convert to non seasonal at the end of the season. Cheevo points are for epeen only. Play through the story once and then never again. Just play adventure mode forever. Join aome of the open communities (and/or dead goon community LLJK) after you get done with the story and get someone to powerlevel you or feed you gear. Don't bother muddling around at the lower difficulties you are just wasting your own time.

All right, trying to race through the campaign as fast as I can while still appreciating the story (D3 ain't been great so far but D1 and D2 were already thinly-veiled excuses to murder things by the drove so it's fine). Finished my play session last night at Level 36, 7 hours in. I feel like I'm closing in on the end of act 2 (about to ressurect the obvious villain). Hopefully I finish it up tonight and get a ways into Act 3. Just some newbie observations, but Blizz seems to have really figured out how to do drop rates. I'm pretty satisfied with the rate at which I'm getting good gear, and what I'm not getting I can just make. Super pleased with that. I am a little annoyed that they didn't integrate adventure mode stuff into the campaign, but I can understand that it would gently caress up the campaign balance. Mostly I'm annoyed that I'm already commited to finishing the campaign before I can really work on the season rewards. Pretty sure I'm gonna miss out on this sweet barbarian set but it's my own fault for waiting this long to pull the trigger on the game. Might still get a piece or two. I love how much more powerful characters feel compared to the D2 cast. An example of story and game mechanics doing a good job of working together. The synergy of hitting everyone around me with an ability that draws everyone in and stuns them, then hitting them with a second ability that hits everyone in the face with a thrown axe, hitting full fury, and then popping whirlwind and turning anything still alive into chunky salsa as a Cuisinart of Death feels just so good.

Once you finish campaign, you'll slam out the stuff to get the 6pc real fast. The tail end of the season rewards (pretty picture frames), maybe not, but the rest will go quick.

Also, unless I'm misremembering, you can just hop into adventure mode at any point and not worry about the campaign, if that's what you really want.

Yeah, the season reward is not an exclusive set. If you want to finish the campaign to see the story or whatever before you hop into adventure mode, you can still find the pieces of the Barb set even if the season ends.

I had to play campaign to unlock adventure for my HC character this season, as this is the first time I've ever created one. Had completely forgotten that was ever necessary at this point.

Late to the party, but I just filled my WD's helltooth set, and the game instantly went from "I'll probably finish this 34 GR on-time" to "I'll probably notice if an elite gets within striking distance before it dies". And WDs are supposed to be one of the less-powerful classes? Sheesh.

And WDs are supposed to be one of the less-powerful classes? Sheesh. The fact that GRs scale exponentially means "F-tier builds that can only get up to GR110 max" are still going to trivialize content until GR90 and probably longer than that. The only place you're really going to have a bad time are sets with weird tricks like Wizard Firebird, where you've got a survivability buff that only exists while enemies are on fire, so if things die too fast you'll get oneshot by arrows and poo poo like that, until you're at high enough GRs that elites don't evaporate when you breathe on them. Everything else, though?

I see top solo Crusaders in the mid-120s, while top solo WDs are "only" in the hundred-and-teens with what looks like an Arachyr firebats build. I'm okay with that sort of diminished potential.

Toshimo posted:What should I be rolling shards for at this point? https://us.diablo3.com/en/profile/Toshimo-1112/hero/106372662 Between the two you're asking about shoulders are probably the better option since your only area damage appears to be from paragon you'll see more from getting that. Getting a witching hour would be good too, possibly a cdr/crit/crit ring or maybe swapping out the 15% multishot damage on the quiver for cdr. The last one is hard to gauge since you already have so much multishot damage the 15% on the quiver isn't worth a lot with diminshing returns; how it stacks up to a potential 50% crit damage on the belt is the question. My guess is the 50% crit damage is the better option. Will Styles fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Dec 5, 2018 |

Yeah, but blood shards for Focus/Restraint sucks, though. So, I'm just rollin' Yangs until I get a better one and then I'll know if I'm gonna get my CDR there. I've got a few Witching Hours to mess around with, I just haven't settled on how that's all gonna work out yet. I'm also hoping for a better HFA, which is gonna have to factor into the equation as well.

I'm on mobile right now so I can only go by the text on the page rather than the hover stats, but just going on that, your total dex, chc and chd are all low for your paragon level. I'll try to remever to check it out on PC when I get home and give you some more feedback.

New generation of pokemon made for switch will be out this year. Diablo 3 is perfect on switch because I only play it on the go. Which means it takes longer to get to the part where I have nothing left to do but grind g levels and ancient legendaries. If I played this trash game on pc I'd be done in a weekend.

Look, even when I lived in a city where I regularly rode a light rail, my 3DS just sat at home most of the time and I read the Internet instead on my phone. You're not going to sell me on a Switch. I want people to enjoy their Switch if they have one, but I don't loving care otherwise.

I'm pretty happy about this, because it gives me more time to get the Season stuff done. Level 53 now, Azmodan is dead and I'm a chunk of the way into Act IV. Got the difficulty bumped to Expert, which still feels pretty easy but it's as high as it'll let me go until I complete Act IV.
