VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:You're not going to make a second build of the same set in the same season with vastly different item affix priorities, so keep the best one and keep a second one to fish upgrades on. Having 2 builds using the same set with different-enough-to-matter stat priorities has come up at least once every season since s20 for me. Sometimes it's different skill damage rolls, sometimes it's trading off between area/attack speed/cdr/rcr. Most of the time these differences are solo push vs. solo or group speeds.

I'm at Paragon 580 and found 9 etherals - 2 GFs, 2 Doombringers, 4 Glimmersheds (including one at level 20 or so) and an Arioc's Needle. They really started dropping once T16 rifts and higher level Greater Rifts went under way.

What's the easiest self-level class/build for this season? Are Wizard or DH decent this time around? I know I can just get a PL, but I prefer to do my first character each season myself.

DH is very easy to start with. Natalia's is strong and if you roll an impale dagger for your starter legendary you can pair it with that cubed all the way into a god set very quickly. Wizard sucks this season because you really need two extra set items to use the build the set is designed around.

Wouldn’t recommend Wiz for the starter set this season, Vyr’s takes a long time to get rolling.

You can always just go LoD and eschew sets. That's an easy way to get a high power level without being dependent on specific drops. Should get you to T16 before you need to start hunting for any specific items.

I'm having an issue with my wizard. I'm using the Firebirds mirror image, and my little shadow people rarely attack at all. They just kind of follow me around and don't do anything. More often than not I stop channeling disintegrate to run over and hit things with my own flame blades while glaring angrily at the four shadow people standing around looking dumb. What the hell am I doing wrong. I also tried using cubed items to Auto proc another fire skill to kill things, to little or no effect. Meteor worked, but Auto casting fireballs doesn't and waiting 8 seconds for meteors that could land anywhere isn't useful (still more useful than my shadow people).

Sometimes your lil wizzies just don’t do anything, it’s part of the game. How you cast MI does make a difference however, I would recommend teleporting directly on top of the thing you want to kill before popping images. Also don’t put any other active spell on your bars except Flame Blades and Black Hole, if you’re using that. Never stop channeling Disintegrate when mirror images are active, that’s a huge source of your actual damage.

Squirts+Gizzard/focus+restraint and dodging and you should be able to clear the screen ahead of you.

There’s an ethereal hunting community. Pretty easy to get into a snapshotted level 12 game and murder things. I got the achievement done in about 6 or so hours over two days. (Did have a 70 gem of ease to get a new character to level 16+ quickly). No good for usable ethereals, but it works for getting the transmog unlock.

"On my bars" just means selected as a skill right? If so yes it's setup right. Also I finally got a level 70 ethereal  Not the best for my build, but numbers go up.

For the people just going for the achievement of collecting them all a goon suggested snap shotting games to low level and using puzzle rings so I tested it and each puzzle ring on torment 6 is 1-2 eths so I can believe his claim he finished the achieve in 45 minutes or so. The only issue is finding people with enough puzzle rings interested in doing it.

if all else fails just straight rifting a snapshot game works. You should get 1 ethereal on average for every 12 legendaries that drip with monk having the worst odds and DH having the best.

You start a game with a level 12 character so the item drops are "snapshotted" to level 12. Then come in with high level characters to kill stuff quickly and get level 12 ethereals. Your drop rates for those are much higher at low level.

Level a character 1 to level 12. This is the character you will use to create/set your "snapshots". Do not use it for anything other than creating games from this point forward. Then use any character on any class that is more than four levels higher than your snapshot character, which means anything level 16+. When you join a game as a character 4+ levels higher than the character that made the game, the game itself does not change its level difficulty to the new player. Anything less than 4 and the game will change. If you play on PC then at the top right corner of the screen you'll see something like Torment 16 (70). That would mean that the game was set to T16 difficulty for a level 70 character. Coincidentally, this is also why when power leveling, the level 1 character joins the game, not makes it. When a level 16-70 character joins a game created by a level 12 character the difficulty never changes and thus the monsters are forever stuck at the difficulty the game would expect for a level 12 character. Ergo you have the first l12 make the game, then you have a second player join with a 16-70 and the game creator exits the game and rejoins with their own 16-70 and anyone else who wants to participate also joins. The reason why you want to do this is because of the reduced loot tables for monsters at level 12 makes it so you are more likely to get your ethereal drops, same concept as low level Kadala gambling. So once everyone is in the game you do either vaults, cows, or just regular rifts and the way the math works out is 1 ethereal will drop per ~12 legendaries. With a level 25 gem of ease in a level 70 weapon plus your paragon points, no matter how few, put into whatever, you can do the content otherwise naked and one shot everything. This lets you bypass having to level to 70 on every class and build a set that lets you farm GR90s for maximal rates. Maxroll has a guide on this as well if you just check out the ethereal farming guide on the site. Bust Rodd posted:Oh so this is just for the transmog, not usable items? Yes

bamhand posted:Other option is just run speed 90s. When the creator/host of the game leaves it doesn't persist, it picks a random other member of the group to be the new host and a new game instance happens(new bounties/everything). I experimented with hosting a game with level 12 character and letting people join and run around while the 12 character stayed in town, but they all got level 70 items and didn't get any ethereals in the few riffs we did, so I don't think people's items are dependent on the game level on consoles. I've tried everything I can think of, so I was hoping somebody else had heard of or figured out a way to do it. I'm far too casual player to speed run 90s on a second account to collect them all. Edit: I'm on switch, but I assume it works the same on other consoles. RodShaft fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jul 29, 2021 |

Ah I see. I honestly have had better luck running speed 90s than doing the snapshot thing. I tried today and got nothing in 30 minutes. Overall drop rates in T6 are so low, even if the chance for eth is much higher. I'm sure snapshotting is still faster overall but it's not a magic bullet.

Prepare a Character at level 5 to 10 for every classes (Level 7 is suggested) Prepare a level-1 powerful weapon for all classes by using Gem of Ease with Kanai's Cube Use the Legendary power of Illusory Boots with Kanai's Cube Prepare Puzzie rings Put one of the Puzzie rings into Kanai's Cube to open Goblin's Vault Enter Goblin's Vault and kill the boss Greed only Greed will drop two legendary items, each of which has 50% chance to be an Ethereal item Repeat steps 1-7 Best way I've found to do it in some reddit thread. Yes, it works pretty much 50% of the time. Only drawback is collecting puzzle rings.

T16 drops less than 10x legendaries over T6 but also dilutes the loot table by over 10x at level 70 vs 12 so farming the baby eths in a snapshot game is statistically faster. Also one requires gearing up to GR90 and the other requires nothing but a PL.

Swilo posted:if only I could my pages of non-seasonal puzzle rings to do that GR90 is a fairly trivial thing to hit though. I wouldn't recommend farming T16 over T6 for eths. But I feel 90's are alright, though still a bit slower than snapshotting. Plus I can level up gems for augmenting or whatever.

And you get the transmogs after the season only if you unlock the feat of strength which includes getting all ethereals on all characters, including the Necro, for 21 total unique drops.

Done my stuff, got my pet. Had an early death and lost my only 6 piece at the time which slowed things down but other than that was real easy. Did Worlds Apart for the challenge and was easier than I expected with Chicken/Mundunugu sets. Ethereals are cool, got TWO absolutely disgusting ones, but I'm not going to farm the rest of them because honestly they look like rear end.
