Is your build 100% done, meaning do you have all slots filled with recommended items? Some slots are flexible, like just using your best-rolled ring instead of CoE, but most slots on most builds really really need all the gear in place. After that, it's getting them ideal stats and ancient. Thorns is nice because it's not as critical for you to roll an ancient pigsticker since you don't give a gently caress about weapon damage.

All good though, WoL still fucks poo poo up without relying too much on Zei's ranged contribution, when you're starting out.

some blue post said season 16 is being extended. "Season 16 has proved to be our most popular Themed Season yet, and we’re glad to hear so many of you are enjoying experimenting with the Ring of Royal Grandeur buff. We’ve seen some really cool and unique builds come out of community theorycrafting and seeing them play out in practice has been exciting! We have plans for Season 17, but they are going to need some time for us to test both internally and via PTR closer to launch. To accommodate both the desire we’ve heard for an extension of Season 16 as well as to give us more time to prepare Season 17 (and Patch 2.6.5), we are moving the Season 16 end date to May 12. We hope that you’re enjoying the change-up to your gameplay during the Season of Grandeur and can’t wait to share with you what we’ve got in store for our next theme." Interested to see what comes of that.

I know they won't, but they really should make the RORG Buff permanent.

Yeah I'm really hoping they drop RoRG from the game & change set breakpoints from 2/4/6 to 2/3/5, the drop in power next season is definitely gonna be felt if they don't.

Season 17: You can dump a complete 6-piece set into the cube to equip the full set of bonuses into a fourth cube slot
|
# ? Feb 23, 2019 00:16 |

I was actually thinking the same thing. Or make it even more monstrous and you need to dump in 6 pieces for each level of set power for a total of 36 Allow a fourth slot in the cube to socket a legendary gem that you can no longer level kind of like caldessans despair. Maybe limit it to defensive only or something to keep everyone from becoming massively overpowered.

Everything on the cube is active all the time but all characters are hardcore.

Eh, there's going to be a PTR so guessing that means more balance changes if nothing else. Better than "season of automatic nemesis bracers" or something.

My read is “were internally testing just making this permanent since RoRG doesn’t contribute to game health and actually bottlenecks 85% of builds” so now whatever they were going to do in 17 they are going to rebalance around RoRG perma-buffs. But Jesus Christ the season is going until halfway through May? That’s gotta be the longest season yet, and yeah losing 800 people from Acti-Blizzard probably impacted that.

Nemesis Bracers but the effect can happen on every single action in the game. Open a chest? Elite pack pops out. Kill an elite? Just kidding, now you got more elites. Socket a gem in town? More elites, baby.

That does remind me that there aren't mimics in this game. It'd be fun to open a chest only to have it turn into an elite.

An I the only one who clicks Breed's Strongbox a good couple dozen times each vault? It's such a weirdly satisfying animation. Also I just ran into two goblin packs on one floor of the same rift, I didn't even know that was possible.

Just made 11 60% rolls and failed 10 of them. That's a new record. E: failed 13 of 15 now. But finally got my gem of ease to 100. Time to make an alt! bamhand fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Feb 23, 2019 |

Now that the season is going to extend I guess I’ll work on some group push builds instead of the Actual end game (complete cube). Trying to set up the three Z chars, rat necro and impale I guess if anyone wants to run 100+. I’m just learning pull barb and wouldn’t mind some patient teammates versus pubs.

Hate how every season i'm absolutely lousy with ramaladni's and nothing to even remotely good to use them in. pair them up with a ridiculous amount of gold and forgotten souls as a cube recipe, reroll item as primal or something.

from what i understand, chance to block is more about procing certain crusader abilities than a meaningful effect on defense, correct?

Finally got compass rose, after 1000s of shards and upgrades one dropped (last season I had a dozen). Mediocre and no socket. Next rift? Great ring with socket. Ahhhahhhh. This loving game.

And I keep getting into Nephalem Rift zones populated with ponys, teddy bears and flowers... I feel like this is related but no way of knowing for sure. The RNG I am hating right now is for the staff of herding materials, the gibbering gemstone specifically. Back when I was first playing D3 I managed to farm up each difficulty level of the bell, shin bone, mushroom and liquid rainbow but the gemstone NEVER dropped. So far on my seasonal characters I've got the bell and the staff plans but the other materials are refusing to show up!

My regular play group is 3 people. This season, two of us (me +1) have gotten about 5-6 primals combined. This is with us doing 4-5 minute 100s, which gives you 12 legendaries a run, which converts out to roughly 244-360 every two hours, depending on our efficiency. The third person in the group has gotten more than double that. In fact, over last weekend and this one, they have literally gotten double that. None of us have a useable one. Turambar posted:If you really want to hate the RNG, come visit the Rainbow Goblin hunting community. Got my wings last season (or was it the season before that) without ever having to specifically farm rainbow goblins. It only took me about 800 hours of gameplay.
