I played DH to 60 in the old days so it's not like I'm totally new, basically I quit after the Crusader expansion came out, I didn't finish my playthrough - I switched to PS4 for a little bit then just took a break from 2015-now.

yeah someone PLed my wizard to 70+ and while its a little faster to crank out levels with paragons / gold / crafting available I dont have any good legends to cube or low level stuff. I've been grinding out the less fun stuff during work hours...

And I hope by "new set" people dont mean the season set because I popped those rewards on Wiz :ohdear:

It's easy enough to get a character powerleveled then use shards and materials from your main to put together an alt. Gamble armor and offhands, upgrade rares for jewelry and weapons.

So are you still playing on PS4 or back to PC? Let me know your name on there (If PC), I can help grind you up a bit tomorrow probably. Larrymer#1390.

6 sets to 55 and Boss Mode, unless you want to branch out into hardcore. Sprinter and mastering 8 set dungeons are awful.

Boss mode was easy and the others suck so 6 set grift 55 it was.

I ended up doing 6x55 GR and 8 set dungeon masteries since I already had an alt up and running for the first one. Turns out necro set dungeons are easy, monk set dungeons are a major pain in the rear end. You have to tone down your damage significantly and try to fish for good cyclone strike pulls to gather enemies in groups of 15+ within a sneezing distance of your character without killing any of them too fast. In multiple of the set dungeons. Would've gone for boss rush in retrospect.

But you do get some pennants and such for mastering the set dungeons so that's nice. There's even wings for doing it on all the classes.

Took me a little bit to get the hang of the exploding palm build but it was actually not too unfun. The entire thing revolved around learning where the pylons were IMO because floor 3 was total crap. It's the first one I've ever done, was pretty happy to complete it :D

I wish there was an archive, having 180 of them to do even for little/no reward would be fun.

This sentence can only exist from someone who did not see the quality of builds that preceded the one you just did.

One for each %elemental damage you need.

It took me 3 tries. I had forgotten how much fun it was blowing up 3 screens of demons one after the other is. Might have to roll a monk as my second character this season.

Weekly rift was fun, I managed to one-shot it with seconds remaining (like 4 or 5, it was sweaty). That spot in the 3rd? floor where you come around a corner and exploding palm a demon and it just causes a tidal wave of instagibs for a few screens is great.

None. This season's Conquests are poo poo, and Blizzard shouldn't be rewarded by people doing them.

I don't think people completing the conquest rewards Blizzard in anyway. Doing the set GR's is honestly super easy. You can just slap on 6 piece completely un-optimized and steam roll it.

Agreed. Though it's a bit annoying having to make another character and farm gear. All because I can't go without getting those dumb seasonal pets.:allears:

Would be nice if they updated Unity to be "All damage taken is split between you and your Follower" since that's all anyone uses it for anyway and would free up a ring slot on your Follower as well. I hate having to farm up two of them just to get the bonus.

I remember seeing a gimmick build a while back that used the Asheara's Vestments set and a bunch of Arcstones... I bet you could do a tanky Inna's build with that and unity. (edit: assuming you can slot all that, hmmm)

Thanks to some goon runs then playing after with a few friends I have a full DH GoD build and am working on converting it to a speedfarm build. 100% uptime on vengeance and just grinding out my gem levels. Thank god I switched off Wizard

What do you think would be the best complementary character for a necromancer(build still undergoing) provided that both have to stay on the same screen (Switch)?

99% it's gonna be some sort of rathma variant. The jesseth scythe+shield set also synergize with skellies. You're probably just finding old builds because it's not competitive in the meta so nobody is posting info about it

I had fun with bone spear speed GR necro and GoD demon hunter, they both run about the same ridiculous speed and destroy everything together. This was on PC though, dunno if console controls make it more difficult.

I would try to run characters that want to do damage at the same distance. So you probably don't want a melee character, otherwise anything would work

Besides the obvious suggestion of "support barb" you might try a POJ monk. The pull from Won Khim Lau would be a really nice synergy to have in both fast and slow GRs, and the cold POJ setup can do a really nice job of covering the spear's relative weak point of popping rift guardians that don't die within 5-6 casts or spawn piles of adds.
