Here is a solid foundation from the thread. I wouldn't gamble with my shards at 1 on some classes. But the rest is a pretty good overview of the best chill but efficient way to do things. The step that says craft a 2her around 40, they mean a level 70 2hand weapon. If you get those secondary modifiers it says you can reroll -level req on it real easy by changing the other secondary modifier.

Going to Kanai's Stomping Grounds and letting Kanai kill poo poo for you on a higher difficulty. It's like doing T6 cleavers and letting the dungeon kill stuff for you. Only good for solo really and you'll die a lot in the process. May be faster than conventional leveling for tryhards.

Are we talking real time savers here or is this just a goony thing? Leveling takes a couple of hours anyway.

Dumb question, once the season starts do you do the challenge rift with your new character or any character for the season rewards?

Make a new seasonal character, enter the game, then exit and do the challenge rift.

The challenge rifts are done with a featured pre-made character and rift. Sometimes they show off a particular set but mostly they're just weird builds.

The challenge rift is a premade character from Blizzard. Have to use the skills they give you. This week it’s a necro and from what I understand is pretty easy.

Keep Bone Armor stacked are 15 and use Bone Spear in big groups, on blues and yellows. Get to third level quickly because a lot of groups stacked there to move your gauge up. Use devour on what you kill to keep whatever necros call their resource pool filled. Use blood rush to quickly move between groups.

A bit late to answer but here you go, usually it takes me around 5h to get to 70 but now it was just 2h15m

The EU challenge rift was ridiculously easy, the easiest I've ever done. You just run around spamming right click nova.

Pretty lucky start for my Barb so far. First rare upgrade craft was an ancient Gavel of Judgment, got the Hammer bracers right at 70, ancient IK BB in my Haedrig bag, and I've already found an ancient Azurewrath for the Frenzy set. The only thing I'm sorely missing out on is a Band of Might, still no luck gambling for it on my level 1 exploit barb.

They already are. None of the builds utilize the season effect except for group builds. The season effect isn't good for soloing it seems.


The one build that utilizes it is Necro Support which is top-tier in group but will get wrecked in top solo.

Eh, there are changes and variations that they could have displayed. For example, there are several necro builds that have Hexing Pants cubed when a weapon would obviously be superior there, the wizard Vyr build doesn't offer the S20 Captain Crimson variant, that sort of thing.

On the character creation screen for wizard there's a clip where they have a teal archon going. Is that something that's not in game? Archon doesn't change color for runes right?

Is monk useless as solo without Gungdo bracers cubed? I'm stuck on GR 18 because it's so slow and I just cant blow up with the 4 piece exploding palm before it runs out. It was a blast before that. Paragon 30 if it matters.

You should be able to beat a GR18 in half rares if you have to. Chances are you're missing some critical piece or aren't doing something properly (i.e. not using a spirit generator) that's failing to interact with Uliana's 2/4pc bonuses.

One thing that you can do for an easy power boost is craft Captain Crimson's belt and one of the boots/pants, whatever one you currently don't have on your Monk. If you've already found a Ring of Royal Grandeur you can get the 3pc set bonus alongside Uliana's. U6 is strongest with the Captain Crimson set so you'll need it eventually anyway.

Pretty much. IK is the only good set Dungeon because you'll accidentally complete it almost as soon as it loads.

The conquests for this season are among the worst ones. I'm fine with them when they're the thrill, leveling gems and gr75 or whatever. The rest really aren't fun.

Doing some research I found the issue is not having Flow of eternity cubed, meaning at paragon 52 even with all CDR my SSS still has a 13 second cooldown. Guess I grind some shards to gamble :smith:

Thanks I actually just looked it up, the sweet spot seems to be a level 29 monk because the upgrade has a 50/50 chance, so I will try that.

Finished the journey at exactly P666 this season. I'm not sure if I will be able to play at all for a while, so the idea of finishing a season under 1k paragon and off the leaderboard is a weird feeling.

Owell, got in the top third on the leaderboards for both Boss Rush and Curses! so there is that.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

I want to do a WW Barb again this season but the Wastes set is dropping way less frequently than everything else for me so far. I’m currently using shoulders/pants and then 5 pieces of IK with a RoRG and it’s working okay for T12/GR50ish. I have a second pair of Wastes shoulders+pants so as soon as I get 1 more piece in any slot I can cube them to get a set of 5 but it just hasn’t happened. Meanwhile I’ve had full sets of each other set for a while and half of them are ancients.
