I was looking at my characters last night and realized that I've got tons of "old" seasonal characters who I'd levelled up before there was a Haedrig's Gift. Aside from necro and barb, what's the funnest/coolest/bestest class and set to shoot for if I wanted to start a second class this season? Is the monk a good class to slip into?

Bell Monk is fast, and completely clears entire screens with ease. I think just having all the correct items can get you drat near GR100, before ancients and augments and perfect rolls and all that. I have no idea how it is to play, but my buddy that was playing it seemed to have a blast.

bamhand posted:I don't know who the gently caress thought a cooldown based build would be fun. Crusader is fun because you get permanent Akkarat through gear. Vyr's is ok because you still keep some of the buffs in non Archon mode and can increase your cooldown rate so you're able to get back in quickly, plus you're not helpless outside Archon. Firebird looked fun at first glance, you do stacking fire damage till you burn out and die, then come back every minute or so? Nope, you kite elites and manage the convoluted stacking mechanic. Feels like a real waste of what could be a really fun set.

If they made the defensive buff permanent regardless of number of enemies burning it would be fine. But no, you just constantly get one shot.

Bell Monks are ridiculously fast and aoe screen clear. The gear is extremely forgiving as far as proper rolls while gearing up, the movement ability lets you teleport over gaps and through certain wall segments, AND it can support a sage set without crippling the build. I want to play other classes and builds but god drat the monk is so convenient and flexible it makes it hard going back to other classes.

I'm kinda bored of the build, but the new sage's buff probably makes it too enticing

Is there an "easy" way to get set items if it's a 2 piece set where you need the other piece? Or are drops/gambling the only way to get them? Trying to see the easiest way to complete the rogue/slanderer set for my son. He has Slanderer and need the other one.

Gambling from Kadala, then upgrading the yellow 1h swords (I think those are 1h swords) in the cube is going to be your best bet, I'd imagine.

If you're going for a 2pc weapon set, save your shards and upgrade in the cube exclusively. Jewelry, only do Kadala if you've gotf literally everything else already, otherwise cube only.

Is this because Kadala doesn't have those things, or because it's better odds with cubing rares?

It is because the cost to gamble off Kadala for those items makes it not worth it vs the pools you are gambling in. Also for weapons, you can only gamble for all 1h, whereas for the cube you can specifically go for swords or fist or whatever.

Diablo 3 sale again, in the USA anyway. 33% off Reaper and Necro (50% off vanilla). I was thinking of getting Necromancer but the last few pages dissuaded me. Earlier in the season I probably would've made the jump.

I just reinstalled this after not touching it for 2-3 years. I've forgotten almost everything. I have a paragon 760 wizard left over from before that was two pieces away from being perfectly geared for a meteor firebird. I can breeze through gr 70 but i hate it. Is necromancer worth it? Am i paying 15 bucks just for the class? There's a ton of stuff I don't quite remember about the cube. There's a way to reroll items with it? Is there a way to play with goons?

Does land of the deas involve a lot of skeletons? Cause that doesn't sound obnoxious at all. How do I go about joining the community? Im gonna start a new character and I really don't want to play through the campaign again if i can avoid it. E: I mean it can't possibly be more obnoxious than this meteor poo poo. I had this cool disintegrate and energy twister thing left over from before that was so much more fun. Funky See Funky Do fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Apr 6, 2019 |

That sounds right up my ally. I'm too old and lazy to worry about cooldowns and doing more than holding down the stand key.

No, the land of the dead is specifically ON a very long cooldown, like 2 mins give or take, so all the highest builds are just kiting enemies along until they can pop their cooldown and kill everything. They have much, much lazier builds, including one we refer to as “Lazymancer”

Let's say my primary concern was to cut out as much visual spam as possible. What would be a good build for balancing that while still being able to run 60+ greater rifts (on any class)? Seriously gently caress this meteor poo poo how do people play with a billion meteors constantly filling the screen.

I found it was around 80 I started to have to optimize personally.

PTR went live and blizz never ceases to amaze. Ancient puzzle ring spawns an ancient vault portal where all peons are replaced by goblins, sure that's cool. Primal puzzle ring spawns....... an ancient vault portal that is exactly the same as ancient  Also the stash search feature is rear end.

Incoherence posted:Land of the Dead is a 2 minute cooldown that gives you unlimited corpses. The Corpse Lance builds tend to devolve into "press LotD and hold down the Corpse Lance button until everything on screen dies, then run away from everything until LotD comes off cooldown". Don’t forget casting decrepify on every moving thing while your friends come through like a buzz saw.

Do seasonal and nonseasonal characters mix? I don't really want to start a seasonal character with a month left. I'd rather be playing with people than just grinding endless solo grifts.

I'd rather be playing with people than just grinding endless solo grifts. I think most of the game probably plays seasons, to be honest. I could be wrong, but that's my experience. Personally, I'd say grab a seasonal character, get a PL, maybe play some public games or something, and keep an eye on what's gonna be good in the upcoming season. You can have some characters of each, though, but a seasonal character cannot join the same game as a non-seasonal and so on.

Well some guy powerlevelled my necro up to 300. Which I feel bad for because I don't think I like how necros work. I'm gonna try a seasonal demon hunter - they always looked fun. Arkane#11972 if anyone wants to powerlevel or start up a new character with me.

I got the switch version and played Necro first. It was really fun to do the skeletal mage build but all the other builds were not fun for me at all. Now they buffed every class ridiculously while not touching necro so I feel like it’s less worth getting than it was before the buffs

I’m still crazy salty about the Miranae nerf. Why would you take a gem literally no one has ever used since the games inception and patch out the one single thing in one build it was ever used for? Just felt needlessly heavy handed. Why spend any dev time nerfing that?

I was pumped to try PTR WD with Dagger of Darts but I they found out that the buff only works for you, not your fetishes.  Guess that is why they have the PTR. Still not sure if I want to play next season since LoN is such a pain (at least in my head) to gear for. Even on PTR where drops are silly it I have a WD with full ancients and it still feels pretty meh. If it's no better than a normal 6 piece set for farming and like GR 70-80ish (high as I ever really care to go) then not much point for me. But the buff will be nice if you find an ancient right as you hit 70 and leveling alts, I guess. Swilo posted:Also the stash search feature is rear end. Haven't really used it yet but when I accidentally hit another key (into the search text box) and can't click anything it is a bit annoying.

I think they should've at least fixed Inarius in a way that trash could be dealt with just as quickly as any other build with bonestorm, but you'd be hanging on to corpse lance for the champ/elite/boss encounters.

Inarius needs a way to deal more damage, both via bigger numbers (Proc rate + bigger % for 6pc) and radius (maybe scales with Pickup radius so the tornado can cover a larger area). The necro in general feels like they missed the mark in so many areas. Shame the cooldown-reliant builds are so strong, so they just ignore the other sets and builds for now and consider it complete.
