I think I am done for this season I can't beat Gr106 because my damage is too low and I kinda can't be arsed farming for more perfect parts.
Or is 106 already in fishing territory where I need to fish for the perfect high density rift for my bell monk?

It's definitely a point at which you should have some +500 augments and all ancient or very well-rolled normal gear to advance. Some rift fishing may be required but a bell monk should still be able to brute force most comps at that level.

A 106 means you need to fish more the worse your skill is at clearing high level GRs specifically.

Paragon levels are an easy way to get a lot of power. Going from paragon 1k -> 2k is 5000 main stat.

But yeah, "I can't be bothered to play the game" means it's time to call it quits.

Not sure whether to go demon hunter or witch doctor next season. I went wiz this season and channelling meteor is great but building off the haedrig gift set is a needless pain in the arse.

am i incorrect that 3 of the 4 wizard sets are (effectively) gonna have you channeling all the time?

bamhand

Yeah that's right. The reason FB in particular is bad is because your defensive buff relies on enemies being on fire and alive. So you're just going to constantly get 1 shot by things because stuff dies too fast before GR 70 or whatever (I made up that number).

DMO you can also use Orb but there is a very strong channeling build for twisters.

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

I have accidentally done that before. Twice. In the same game. I felt so bad.

In the grand scheme of things those goblin packs are not that special. Just killing all of them at once is a lot of fun.

Yeah they only matter if they pop a vault, in which case it doesn't matter if anyone is there for it, or if someone needs the pet goblin, in whoch case that kind of sucks but owell.

Oh I've done it too, but I didn't know what it was and I apologized profusely afterwards and used a puzzle ring to open a vault for everyone rather than trying to blame someone who was in a different act? lol

Don't do Twister on console. Orb is way less frustrating. DMO is frustrating enough as it is on a console version as you can only spawn time bubbles either on yourself directly, or on a targeted enemy. Energy Twister's already unwieldy movement nature makes the Raging Storm rune on just about every dmo twister build out there rather tricky to reliably exploit, and the console's target methodology makes it a headache and a crapshoot to combine tornadoes. Frozen Orb is far more reliable/less stressful.

While targeting sucks on console, twister is so broken it doesn't really matter. It's more a game of staying alive and throwing twisters. I put together a tal FO for rifts and GRs to get gear and gems until I had enough DMO pieces and I easily jumped from g70s to g90+ with lousy gear.

I'm kind of stuck around GR106 as a N6M4 DH. Should I just be grinding CD up to LVL 100 for all my gear at this point or gambling for primals? Every piece of my gear is ancient or better and a couple pieces could maybe do for better rolls but nothing significant I think.

I got the urge to play again after a few years and booted it up on my 2015 MacBook. It used to run smooth as butter and now I’m getting like 5FPS. I know this was never a gaming computer but I was still a little bummed. I wonder why the performance got so much worse over time.

I was in a Solo NRift, and found a pack of about 20 Goblins just sitting there, no shrine, waiting to be killed. So, I did the needful. :black101:

Also, a Condemn Crusader, with all 4 skills on Auto, is pretty friggin' easy. poo poo just explodes as you walk by.

I noticed a huge performance drop across the board a few updates ago on my 2015 mbp for what it's worth. It chugs on a ton of poo poo. There's a known gpu fault with a ton of machines from that generation and I think that might be part of it.

Goblin packs are a normal rift thing while Bandit Shrines are bounty (open world) exclusives.

They are mostly great if you get good blue goblins from them anyway. And I am not sure if shrines can contain Rainbow gobs.
