"Personally, I think he's done a great job of being down to earth so far."
I think the problem I'm having is that there's no other quest alongside the journals, but it sounds like everyone else has a steady stream of tasks to do while the journals are the long term goal. That's how it was when I first started the season. It's a bummer!

Make your primary goal to get to WT3, and then you'll have the journals within a half hour!

If you want some tasks to give you direction after killing Malphas, hit U and look at the season journey

Has anyone figured out an infinite fury barb build yet? In D3 you could use the Bul-Kathos's weapons to keep fury topped off and you could whirlwind nonstop through entire rifts. It was never super powerful but it was fun.

There's tons of No Generator WW builds but they require endgame loot and rolls

And you gotta occasionally push another button anyway

I remember looking up PoE builds and a bunch of them had "Two Button Build" listed as a Con.

I thought they meant it was boring because you only press two buttons, but it turns out they meant two buttons was too many buttons.

More buttons = gooder.

it's poe, it's a given that your build somehow includes 19 other buttons because ggg has been on a multi year kick of adding a billion 'push button for 18% more damage' skills to the game

So I think my seasonal progression is bugged. Anyone else just stuck on 1/5 Kulle's Journals? I have no other quests, and some googling tells me the journals will naturally occur in Vaults as you progress through the seasonal questline. I haven't been able to find any discussion on forums with other people having a similar problem. Anyone?

It's RNG from end of Vault chests mostly, however there IS a second journal on the table in the room to the right of where you spawn in at the Greathall

I did it with maces, don't know if it makes a difference.

Same thing happened to me last season with the Lit Ball aspect for Sorc. Didn't get it until waaaay late.

Last season Sorcerers had an aspect that give you a chance of getting a free cast of an Unstable Currents ability, and I was pretty sure that along with the various buffs to your basic attack, some of the enchants, and the aspect that has a chance of casting 2 lightning spears, it'd be possible to put together a build that would effectively be one button, especially with the attack toggle option they added.

It would be useless in any kind of endgame situation, but probably a lot of fun for lazy casuals.

It's ridiculous that they didn't just add another white quest like the one that sends you to the alchemist when your potion can be upgraded for the first time. Have it trigger when you have 5 more of a material than your next highest or something

Agree completely. Thematically it's kind of interesting that you use all these body parts to summon him I guess, so if they want to keep that then the summoning should just be heart + any 3 or 4 body parts. Or they should put an alchemist at the tree at the very least

sure but to be completely fair

it says, in the tooltip, for all 3 materials

that you can refine them at the alchemist

not that anyone reads a tooltip, ever, under any circumstances

There was a Whisper for Vault of Stone in Fractured Peaks. It was not in my Gatehall, I had to ride out to it.
After completing it, it appeared in the Gatehall.

I'm level 25 as a Bone Spear Necro and I'm getting carried by Corpse Explosion lol

I know it probably comes online harder later but I find it pretty funny that I have to cast two Bone Spears to kill something, Corpse Tendrils on the thing I killed, then Corpse Explosion everything that got pulled in.

Are you still doing the initial season quest line? Have you killed Malphas yet? In that story line, you have to ride out to the 5 vaults once each, and then they get added to your gatehall.

It's worth noting that every time you want to run uber malphas you also have to do the entire end dungeon which has 4 vaults in it as well. Did it once and didn't get anything, went back to t90 vaults.

I've now hosed up my lightning storm druid build trying to improve it and randomly explode and die all the time and have no idea what I was before. This is annoying!

Just had some bizarre occurrence in T3 Helltide.

I'm a pet necro, level 60, just wandering around helltide with my robot buddy having Gyrate and Impale (some melee powers). All of a sudden, all of the enemies start chain exploding with little orange explosions on them. Walking around, within maybe there seconds of combat starting, everything would just pop with these little orange explosions and die.

For 20 minutes I wandered around, not even casting or attacking, watching waves of enemies walk up and chain explode.

No idea what's causing it!

There's a sorcerer somewhere nearby is what's happening. The fireball enchant causes enemies to explode when they die, and it seems to just... apply to everything nearby instead of requiring the sorc to hit it or something more reasonable. And the game has a pretty weird definition of "nearby" sometimes.

I logged in one time, walked out into a helltide and immediately on the other side of the helltide from me a unique dropped on the map.

Went over, reams of drops in that area. Nowhere else.

Honestly no clue how their system works.

This was going on for like 20 minutes with me riding my horse around a wide area in the helltide. It was absolutely bizarre. That's quite some range if that's what was happening!

I always think the Arcane Tremors own has relocated when I teleport in, but it's just that it automatically cleared all the Whispers because someone somewhere in the map was doing the activities


Also, a blizzard person posted in their forums that they have some plan for the duplicate Uber unique problem. They said to hold on to duplicate Uber uniques for now! Don't dismantle

That's weird... Who knows! Maybe I'm remembering wrong, too

Also I'm likely to hit 100 without finding a Condemnation unique, even in this era of target farming. Feels bad! I've definitely killed Varshan 30+ times on wt4 and he doesn't even drop a unique most of the time now?!
