Pull me out

I'm going necro again this season; it's my favourite class by far and I've never levelled with Blight which seems to have some minion synergy so that's my plan. I expect overworld levelling to be very popular and corpse explosion is incredible for ad-hoc group stuff, so it'll be shadow pools as far as the eye can see

Being married to a horse girl who loves Diablo means I'll probably be spending money on the battle pass so she can collect all the horses.

Congratulations, this is 10's if not 100's of thousands of dollars cheaper than having horses.

The biggest problem with the cosmetics shop is that you other players can't see any of it.

When I did the server slam I was stoked to find out you get a free wolf which I had figured was going to be a cosmetic pet like in D3, but then it's actually a tiny black wolf puppy in a hammock on your characters back that nobody is ever going to see.

Same with the awoken coldiron set. I started a necro halfway through last season and immediately transmogged it on, and it looks cool in the menus and all but in game all most people will see is a vaguely smoking blur dashing across the screen.

They should have group invites work like those tv ads that pop up in the corner of the screen for 10 seconds. Especially if you get a druid doing the cross arms, raise eyebrows while slowly rotating thing.

like the ones for football or whatever where they start back to the camera and are in some kind of rotating disc and they slowly get turned around while they strike a cool arms crossed pose? that’d be dope as hell

/\ we can get that when they add a quick group lol


Back to cosmetic chat, I'm really surprised there's no good titty armor. I was sorceress last season and that should have been the perfect class for some. Like I have two moods, either super badass and intimidating, or hilariously over the top sexy. I barely had the options for the first and nothing for the second.


Still managed to have all the outfit presets filled up tho, so jokes on me I guess.

Anyone play the last season and pre-season can give me a quick estimation of what class might struggle the least in this new season? Any new items or passives or whatever looking super busted? I'd hate to miss out on a class that is just a blender this season since I typically only play 1 class a season.

you just had the burn out, just get it done grind before the end of season 1. there were a few good updates during season one to iron out the bugs and up XP and the like. it’s 3 months long

i’d say chill on it for a week or two personally, see how it pans out. we are no longer in the post nut clarity of season one

infinimist necro looking more strong than ever, TB rogue same as it always was, poison druid of some kind (probably requires tempest roar though), sorc firewall or hydra might be good but hard to tell without playing

barb is a less sure bet, overpower mechanics might be tuned so he’s a one shot machine or so he’s a wet noodle. bear druid is the same. minion necro might be s chill move too? might be tied to a unique? didn’t look that much into it tbh

rip. if you’ve patched there’s a mismatch between client and server so you can’t play in the interim

From swimming school, thank you. :colbert:

Oh well, dinner's already prepared better get back to brooming. I was already set on being a cool wolf this time.

I managed to log in and check my pre season 69 rogue is now accompanied by a level 59 bear man. Hope to reach level 49 this time so I can keep the trend.
