I was really disappointed when they patched Kadala to compliment you sometimes instead of just no-selling everything.

Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.
Got my seasonal monk to 70, completed all the seasonal awards through chapter 3...went to chapter 4 and a rift on torment and got my crap pushed in. Short of having someone run me through these achievements to get my set (which may be the best answer) do I just keep doing rifts on the highest difficulty and try to improve my gear? I was able to kill some things in that torment 1 rift but it was taking me for-freaking-ever and was not at all sustainable.

You are probably 100% right. I didn't pay attention too much to build because I was flying through levels but I think I am going to go with an Icy Vein build I found last night and try it out...but does my gear super suck?

Green gem in weapon and other slots (Crit/dex) and usually diamond in helms for cooldown. Get a lvl 70 items for all your slots. Craft them or just keep grinding to get more. You have a damage reducer in your shoulders but aren't using the skill to get the effect. If you've completed the chapters of the journey, look in the lower left corner for your messages and redeem your haedrig's gift bags. That'll be a huge boost.

I've been scrambling to just get through the levels and achievements, so I have paid zero attention to set pieces. Should I just run rifts and spend blood shards on *A* set? I guess at this point, I would only need you to complete the chapter 4 achievements, I may do that.

don't stop, carry on.
Are there any secret tips for levelling your first char each season, to make the process faster?

Like, I started S16 Wizard right now (playing on Switch, but I don't believe it matters?) and I'm slowly grinding bounties in adventure mode, on the Hard difficulty. After two evenings, I'm lv 44 or so and wondering if I can anything better to be more efficient there?

Or is this a "google it" type of question?

I am an idiot. I didn't even notice that and for whatever reason was assuming I didn't get the Haedrig's stuff until I finished ALL the chapters? I just claimed them and have 4 of the 6 pieces now. Such an idiot...

Some maps are better than others for leveling. Halls of Agony 3 is usually very enemy dense IIRC but there's not many other tricks I can think of.

They really should make that 'you've got new mail' notification much more obnoxious and obvious because apparently people like me who have zero awareness of the UI fail to even notice it's there. Clearly it's blizzard's fault and not mine :colbert:

Ok, so I have 4/6 set pieces now. Will swap to the icy veins build, see if I can craft better weapons and give it another go for the chapter 4 achievements. Thank you guys!

For starting a season: create your character, then go do the weekly Challenge Rift. The rewards from it (gold, blood shards, 10 DBs) can be used to gamble up a Leoric's and poop pants early and craft lvl 70 2H weapons until you get a good level reduced roll (either craft lots of weapons or reroll secondaries, depending on whether you have yellow mats or gold). You can even cube one item along with leveling up your crafters.

Also go get the Kanai's Cube pretty early, you'll have to do it eventually and it's useful.

I'm not a monk expert either but I've been trying to make a LoN build around Death's Bargain death aura from the cube. It's pretty good for power leveling people from 1-70 in Torment IV!

Also this season you only need 5/6 set pieces to get all the bonuses so run rifts till your eyes bleed and then gamble for whatever piece you're missing.

Just equipping 4 of 6 pieces of set gear and updating my build made a huge difference. Was able to beat torment 1 stuff with relative ease. Also used the kube to upgrade weapons to legendary so things are looking up :shobon:

Getting up to 4pc should make Torment 4 choppy but doable. See about knocking out those T4 objectives in your seasonal chapter requirements, because going to 6pc should put you capable of comfortably handling Torment 8, even as inexperienced as you may be.
