I just rerolled to DH and was struggling. Unity. Why did I forget about that ring already. Thanks for helping this idiot out.

(I’ve played basically every season but first using a class that never uses it so I forgot it exists)

Haha yeah it’s because if you look at leaderboards and diablo fans (RIP) people put the highest possible offense version with the implicit knowledge that you’ll fish at higher rift levels there are usually a few heavy defense items you can layer on as you’re working on your kit.

Isn't rerolling any armor piece really inefficient?

Probably is, but I'm tired of Blood Sharding and just really impatient for more useful Ancient gear.

I'm wearing Ancient Hammer Jammers because I just really needed Ancient Pants, but I can't make that compromise with my belt, since Trove is vital to the LoN Bombardment build.

I try to save my rerolls on weapons but drat if I’m not super impatient. I geared a chicken doc solely so I can run bounties in 5 minutes.

Having a lot of fun this season, especially with the LoN stuff.

I got nearly perfect gear on a LoN energy twister / Arcane Wizard and now I'm ruined forever on everything else. I hold down disintegrate and massive tornadoes fly out of the laser beam, suck everything in and crit for 1.8 trillion per tick while I stand there with 700m toughness plus shields.

If it helps, this is the worst season (IMO) to check out LoN with the RoRG seasonal buff. :)

I tried to build a Firebirds/Meteor thing last season which sounds similar to this (you just sit there and channel Arcane Torrent and watch the meteor storm), but it was unbelievably squishy compared to Tal Rasha's. This does sound cool, though.

Did some more hammer chuckin on the Crusader yesterday. The first non-starter set to get 5 pieces is... Invokers. Hm, thorns. I set it up with the stuff I had (not cookie cutter, though) and it is both incredibly tanky and tears through single targets. Almost complete lack of AoE, though, even though I'm using a Hack and the Provoke/Thorns shield. I guess this would be ideal for group play where you only engage elites/bosses?

e: using Slash for AoE is much much better

They tried to buff Lon at the same time seems like a weird combo.

2 things:

1. Take it from someone who built LONBomb 5 seasons in a row, it’s so much faster to gamble another ancient belt then it is to reroll and your gonna be kicking yourself for burning bounty mats on something so cheap from Kadala

2. A non-ancient 6 second belt is better than an ancient 7-8 second belt for DPS.

They're joking. But Puzzle Rings in the cube open the realm of Greed (but there's only one version). In case you didn't know.

You definitely could - the keys to make it work are the energy twister bracers (I forget the name), then deathwish / etched sigil / twisted sabre. The belt which reduces RoF / disintegrate cost is needed as well.

Stack arcane damage then you hold down disintegrate. The tornadoes spawn and coaelsce into the larger ones, the first one will suck everything into it that's even remotely nearby.

GoG has Diablo 1 in its original form or with Win 10 support and high res. Is this a new thing or has it been out for a while? I don't think I could play D2 today let alone D1 but it's neat that it exists.

They just sent out an email about it, so I feel like it has to be new.

Edit: All the reviews are from today, so yeah this must be brand new (to GOG).

Yep, they just tweeted about it a few hours ago.

That's cool that it's basically Diablo 1 Remastered, what with the high-res support and all.

Would be nice to play it with win10 support without downloading 3 different hacks and trying to configure them etc. If anyone grabs it please report back how the code updates play out

It is playing for me with zero issues. It includes an updated version with screen resolution changes to match your monitor, but no battle.net support, and a pure classic version with b.net support.

The "high res" version just scales the original 640x480 to your native monitor res right? Does alt-tabbing and everything work correctly?

Goddamn it. I've got about 11 goblins of varying flavours showing up on my map and not enough DPS to kill them all. This is the first time I've seen a rift like this and also the first time this game has stressed me out. And the fact that they're all laughing at me isn't helping any.

Someone should really set up a goon community, this kind of thing is a tragedy. Nothing worse than goblins escaping the deaths they deserve.
