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

I'm lazy and use BK. I got to 103 and could have pushed a few further. Had like eight minutes left over. But I demand no more than five minutes between dopamine hits

Should’ve paid more attention when picking the build I guess. Pretty happy I only have to switch the belt, a ring and the weapons to use the s19 version.

Is it viable stick with the Bul Kathos weapons or are the Istvans way better? I ran those before I had both Bul Kathos and never had enough Fury. Probably because I’m running the blood funnel instead of wind shear rune for whirlwind.

I use BK for T16 and speed GRs (up to a certain point, anyway). Basically, I pull out Istvans for pushing and for GRs where the average trash mob will survive 1-2 hits.

Istvan feels pretty bad to use when the mobs are too fragile, since you don't get much Fury return from WW. Once you are chewing on them for a bit, though, the sustain feels much smoother.

Can you elaborate?

The Captain Crimson's set bonuses also turn the CDR into 8% increased damage and the RCR into 8% reduced damage.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

I leveled a barb this week after claiming the season rewards on a necro and getting bored, and am already at like GR84 with no ancients and some other suboptimal stuff using WW/Rend. I’ll have to do A1 bounties to try the RoRG and Capt Crimson stuff, that plus swapping to some more CDR and a zodiac ring should let me get quite a bit higher. I’ve been using the Istvan’s swords but they are not ancient and I haven’t gamecubed either one so that’s a lot of damage that shouldn’t be too hard to pick up. This build plays similarly to the bonestorm necro except it’s a lot better in every way, I regret not trying it out before.

If you are digging it, do a PoJ monk (probably next season).

PoJ is great for a speed farmer while the barb does the pushing.

What’s the deal with the Darkening of Tristram event?

Is it just a little tacked on thing or is it fun and/or worthwhile?

Do it if you haven't done it yet and collect all the awards. Get the soulstone legendary gem for giggles.

If you have already done this, do it for a nostalgia kick if you want.

Edit: I usually do it at least once a year for the SFX alone.

It's a very effective location to level up if the timing works for it. I think last year we had a new season in January.

Expect something like a three month-ish season, and a week or two between end of previous and start of next season.

If they keep the existing format then it will be late Feb or early March.

Just the one. But you don't have to accept it on the first one, you can just not open the rewards and save it for second character if you don't need it for the first one. Like if you do LoN build first and save the set for an alt.

Simplest way to switch is to run rifts on the character you have then roll shards on the one you want to switch

(or tag along a barb buddy and have him give you the drops)

Once per season per region.

RIP my HC barb, I was playing while my drunken mother was rambling in my ear about just absolutely nothing and I was like “Oof I just procced I should go back to town... but if I stand around doing nothing for 60 seconds it will be harder to ignore her oh I’m dead.”

Oh well WW Barb is super fun, felt extremely powerful even in T12.

Gonna finish leveling my SC Necro in Darkening of Tristram.

push - gear/skills/gems/etc optimized for attempting higher and higher GRs.

speed/farming - gear/skills/gems/etc meant to tear through bounties and T16 normal rifts as fast as possible, and whatever the highest GR you can complete in ~ 2ish minutes.

Push - Build for max GRs. Focus on survivability, Bane of the Stricken is basically a requirement.
Speed - Max speed for lower GRs. Once damage and survivability are irrelevant, focus on move speed and working in Nemesis Bracers.
Farm - Max speed for Torment XVI (Neph Rifts and bounties). Damage and survivability should be irrelevant, focus on move speed and gold-related unique powers. Broken Crown can be useful here.

As of patch 2.6.5, using an Ancient or Primal Puzzle Ring will increase the difficulty and reward of the Vault, replacing every single Vault Sentry with a Treasure Goblin.

Yup. That was in patch 2.6.5, and we're currently on 2.6.7a. 2.6.5 was May of last year, and 2.6.7a was November.

Yes, shitloads of gems drop in the vault. Broken crown with something socketed doubles the number of gems you get.

What Suprfli6 said, but also note that you can make that your Kanai's skill slot and it will still double drop the gem in your helmet (if you need to keep it on it for your class set or something). Since you don't need to min-max in the vault, throw in your mainstat gem since you will want 39 flawless royals eventually for Caldesann's Despair.

Make a gold farm suit and have someone carry you through vaults. Can net 500m gold a run, enough to empower a bunch of GRs.
