Ursine Catastrophe posted:Vyr’s is literally the worst in my book. I’m doing PC and Switch both because That is actually almost exactly a contingency I figured might be the way it goes. If Deathwish / Etched (and/or Mantle) happen along at any point prior to getting the right poo poo for Vyr's to shine, I'd probably just suffer along with Disintegration into a better / more fun set. I love the hell out of 6 Tal. Balls of all colors falling everywhere in the greatest disco event you could ask for. exquisite tea posted:Vyr's is one of those sets where you need 13 distinct legendaries + all corresponding cube effects for it to really work, and even then, it somehow manages to have even less flexibility than Tal/Vyr Archon. It's a fine second character option, but rough going as a first. Live and learn. Glad I made this mistake on Switch though. It's less annoying to ride out, when my Switch's main purpose lately is to prevent public transit from being boring, and fill the empty time gaps at work.

I've converted my Barbarian to WW and it's the laziest and best thing. Cleared GR 70 for the first time on any character and now can work to farm the fun and stupid LoN builds I want to try.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Last season I started as a Necro then switched to DH Multishot and was amazed at how quick and mobile I was wiping out entire screens. DH is still faster imo! And doesnt need in geom which is a huge plus. You can stack so many run speed buffs between Boon, arm guards, wreath of lightning, krem belt, 2x run speed passives and they all affect vault speed so you move ridiculously fast while screen clearing with 1 MS.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:I've converted my Barbarian to WW and it's the laziest and best thing. Cleared GR 70 for the first time on any character and now can work to farm the fun and stupid LoN builds I want to try. I started with a barb 2 seasons ago, when Raekor's was the set. Got used to how FC worked (and really loving did not when it chose to), and had a HotA build fill out in very lucky procession. The next thing I filled out was for Wastes - WW, and it was the first time I had ever done it. I loved that build, but the game got really loving stingy at that point and I couldn't improve the gear sufficiently to make T13 farming smooth. Meanwhile, I was able to push to GR85 on the Raek/HotA set. Overall, I'm glad to be free of the finicky way FC works (hit 1 enemy, awesome. Hit 3+ enemy, awesome. Hit 2 enemy, go gently caress yourself lol), even if it was one of the most safe builds I got into. Regardless, with the set damage buffs being what they are, just about every barb must be goddamn awesome, and WW Wastes once you're up into gently caress-off paragon levels is something I believe I will work into once I'm over this little Vyr's problem I got myself stuck in.

drat, that's great. I've never bothered to use it before, but a friend of mine is joining the season late today and I'm pretty much maxed out my IK HotA barb, so I'm going to be dicking around with builds while he catches up. Whirlwind here I come!

What's the quickest way to level a new seasonal character these days outside of being power leveled? I'm playing on Switch in small, short bursts so going online isn't usually an option since I'm playing when I'm dead in Blackout or on the bus. Right now, I'm just kind of grinding rifts as a Crusader

Of course your complete HotA barb was tougher than your incomplete monk build! The Endless Walk Set gives you almost all of your durability. The rest comes from your Lefebvre which you are also missing, heh. BTW i don't swap out any emeralds for diamonds until beyond GR100. You're missing toughness from the gear side of things, not your gems.

Once you have lots of paragon and ancients it makes sense to roll with diamonds because 16k vs 17k main stat is small compared to the resist all, but before you get to that spot main stat is providing a ton of damage and damage reduction and you will probably lose defense by switching. I’m also unsure if you are ever supposed to switch if you are main stat Int. It’s one of those things people get wrong copying leaderboards because it’s counterintuitive.

I agree with what you've said, but my post was directed at the guy missing 3 pieces of his build, who I'm guessing is in the gr60 range, and closer to 9,000 main stat.

Ooo yeah, that's a really good point. A lot of builds just flat out suck until you're augmented to hell and back. Lots of classes have a "fastest to reach GR70" build that isn't necessarily the best for 105+

I spend the majority of time in a season in a Goldwrap T13 build and a speed Grift build that's 10+ levels below what I can realistically push because that's the sweet spot for leveling /grinding gems or legendaries. If I'm just trying to gem up stuff it can be 20 or more levels behind what my pushing build is and often looks completely different, usually swapping a damaging weapon for an In Geom

Any tips for the conquests? I can't be arsed grouping up and coordinating for all the bosses (it's not solo-able, surely?), or searching for the chest ones. The one with 6 different sets looks absurd. I thought the 2 minute rift would be doable as my build is fast, but I'm guessing that it still needs some buffing or tweaking. Any tips? I've never bothered much on past seasons and have had a long break, but I'm desperate for an other tab (gently caress, I'd pay for more, I'm a terrible hoarder) https://www.d3planner.com/675436942

Kheldarn posted:So I was wondering why Inna WOL uses Rabid Strike. If I'm noticing what happens right, it's because Double Bells? Yeah, it used to be bugged, but they fixed it, so when Epiphany is up it's a straight 2x damage increase which is why it's the highest grift pushing build for monk. There's no room for it on traditional Sunwuko builds because they rely on Sweeping Wind stacks, but since the damage on Innas is really only contingent on Crudest Boots, you get an extra weapon slot that in this case is just a pure damage multiplier.

I did the gems, two minute rift and cursed chest for my 3. I can help with any of those is anyone needs it. Monkeh#1632 Now tell me what to reroll on my WW guy primal sword. It's STR, VIT, Holy Damage and life per hit. Do I try to squeeze in % damage or area damage somewhere? I haven't really messed with CDR anywhere. I should say I'm just trying to get the guy to the point where he can kill T13 bosses easily for bounties. Snacksmaniac fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Jan 28, 2019 |

Area over raw (10% damage)? That's two votes for that so that's my winner. My gut told me raw damage but I guess I'm wrong!

For dual wielding, % damage (and % attack speed) only gives you half the benefit since you alternate attacks. Other stats give 100% benefit. Also I think % damage scales exponentially with mob density? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you hit 10 monsters each of those hits can trigger AD right? So on average you get 2 AD procs, each of which hits those 9 other monsters so everything just loving melts when you have really high density. Note that AD would give you 0 benefit in a single target scenario and you wouldn't get the exponential benefit if your attack doesn't do AoE.

T6 kite killing, if you don't die, is the fastest but it doesn't really involve playing the game. If you want to play the class as it levels, then adventure mode rifting is the fastest.
