It is a cow level map where you and him go kill poo poo together and you get a special Skorn transmog for doing it.

But please post your findings I ran a couple rifts with a limp second player last night to level my son's account. He ported instantly and didn't slow down my fist crusader at all. When I was using steed charge he just ported like a dozen times in a row. I think there might have been an elite that would Port in and kill him every once in a while, but there was a lot going on, so it might've just been a random enemy.

Swilo posted:and apparently can be abused to level yourself via massacre bonuses on t6 since kanai himself can't die I gave it a quick whirl on nonseason and it seems like getting there at low level on t6 is impossible. Ruins and Elder Sanctum both have some really annoying mobs. However I got to level 10 and some basic skills and made it there on t2 and it's pretty legit. Fast levels and you just whack some cows to keep your multiplier going while the Kanai dude kills them all.

I'm only suggesting doing that area since you're in the area getting the cube, not actually leveling all the way to 70 like that. Playing in a group to 70 is more fun. Guess it's an option for solo dudes.

At how many ranks/ancients does the legacy gem become viable anyway. Deciding between jumping in as a necro or just farming up the gem with another class first.

I've heard it's pretty smooth progression, especially for someone like necro or wd whose starter sets are not that great. It should be guaranteed second gem now too. I'm def gonna try it with necro and save the hagrid set for an alt.

Speaking of which, two-handed weapons could use a buff so they're good for anything other than cubing. So that'll never happen. I stuck with Burst of Wrath as a transmog for a couple of seasons as a Monk even though that meant I couldn't really finish the seasonal journey. Just because it looks awesome. Even though you never actually use your weapons as a Monk. And it would have to be a stats change rather than whatever Lego benefits for "balance" and bleh again, it'll never happen

At the beginning of the expansion two-handers used to reign supreme but over time off-hand effects have been buffed so much that you'd be foolish not to stack two. Not to mention that 2H weapons don't count twice for LoD purposes so you're gimping yourself even there.

# ? Mar 11, 2020 11:11 |
Ooh yeah in the balancing you'd have to count two-handed weapons twice for LoD/N Oh no, the tiny percentage that pulls a primal 2H as their first for the season might get a boost instead of kind of garbage stringless fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Mar 11, 2020 |

At least they are potentially good for crusaders cause of the one hand passive.

When I was having wrath issues with my crusader I used a two hander with Darklight in the cube because it wasn't much of a dps drop and I didn't run out of wrath. Once I got the fist of the heavens belt that was no longer an issue tho.

You need, at minimum, The Swami + Fazula + ORotZ + Gogok and everything rolled for CDR to really get going with it. If you're missing any of the critical pieces then it will feel super slow and most of the power is backloaded into the 6pc.

Since I'll be playing on switch with my son (or a limp 2ed player) a lot of people have suggested playing the same character to double up on stuff. However when playing items are clearly marked 1p or 2p when picking them up. Is it possible for one player to drop items they don't want and the other to grab it DURING SEASONAL? Has anyone tried this in the last season or 2?

If you're missing any of the critical pieces then it will feel super slow and most of the power is backloaded into the 6pc. ORotZ can be substituted with ingeom, reaver, or lots of cdr. CDR is a top tier damage stat w/ archon in general and uptime is everything. Most, all?, of the wiz sets suck for season start and you end up using the most effective gear you can wear until you hit 6pc and a supporting item or two. Outside of tals, vyrs is my second favorite season start set for wiz. Just cube a swami and go to town. Khorne fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Mar 12, 2020 |

As my hype builds for the new season, here's some season start tips that have worked pretty well for me in the past. I've been in the top 20ish for most seasons when I start like this, even with some hiccups. It's pretty efficient and can get you to lvl 70 in around two hours in a four man group.
https://www.d3planner.com/game/66666/kadala What rare to upgrade for season start to extract to the cube? Generally you're looking for something with a big damage modifier in the orange text. Not all classes have great options there for weapons, but the armor pools are usually much larger and probably not worth upgrading as they have more set pieces that have no modifiers on them. Ancients may be worth not extracting and holding on to. Same goes for your upgraded item that rolls with -lvl requirement on the secondary modifiers.

Worth noting that with a Vyr start as a wizard you may want to aim for gambling Swami and Fazula's later on instead of a mediocre level 1 option. Because the Vyr start sucks, and the season theme means you can have both in the cube immediately and actually be able to do something at 70.

Necro is a good starter and fastest to 70 but their gift set suuuuuuuucks. I also don't like them so I'm biased. bio347 posted:Worth noting that with a Vyr start as a wizard you may want to aim for gambling Swami and Fazula's later on instead of a mediocre level 1 option. Because the Vyr start sucks, and the season theme means you can have both in the cube immediately and actually be able to do something at 70. Speaking of bias, I also dislike wizards. Swami should be gambled at 30 (even @ 31 makes your chances significantly worse vs. 30) if you're trying for it, but it's not a great chance to get since you can't gamble wiz hats and helms separately. The pool is still small (2 helms and swami at 30) but if nothing else there's a good chance you could get Leoric's if nothing else. However, I think it's generally better to get done with the 1-70 slog and shoot for items to speed that up rather than trying for a low probability cubed item for later that may be useful. Once you get to 70 the progression is exponentially faster so you'll get your other item slots soon enough and not be stuck with a < level 70 item that's only useful for cubing. Just my two pennies.

Same, I want to see builds using the Reaver instead of ORZ plowing through trash mobs because it's quite a bit more effective for cooldown except against bosses /e Especially for, say, Archon builds in rifts. It's way better CDR but it's never been a valid option because there's something better for the weapon slot. Might start with Wizard instead of Monk this season just to prove it stringless fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Mar 12, 2020 |
