Got back into this game after a goon friend got me the Reaper of Souls expansion when they saw me trying to play lvl 60 legacy character poo poo like an idiot.
Rebirthed some characters and just deleted some others to reroll them for this season. Feels like I'm playing a top-down clicker version of DOOM 2016 now with these set bonuses just ripping and tearing through Rifts. :black101:

My strongest character so far is a Thorns Crusader, ended up gearing him with stuff someone I was powerleveling said was a hybrid of a legacy 'eternal horseman' build and thorns. Was using the set 2H flail and shield with a mix of Light and Invoker. The Light set helm and shoulders are amazing, they make the crusader into a Black Templar or Legion of the Damned :vomarine:.
Focused it down to the current favored Thorns setupI found on Diablofans site but I have the previous setup saved in the armory. Nothing like riding a horse through hell while dragging demons to death in circles around their pals. :black101: :horse:

Though I do kinda feel stuck in between Torment 12 and 13. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but 12 and a few notches above is cake and a half but 13 is a brick wall. :gibs:

And that gif for Demeon Hunter in the op :popeye: , first set bonus I got was to Impale. I paired that with ALL THE PETS, 3 wolves and sentry guns that when they shoot beesarrows at you they also shoot knives at you. :ese:

I like this game now WAAAAAAY more than I ever did before.

I'm not worried I'm just interested in the eventuality whether it's near future or 2119 and dweebazoid academics are the only people who want to access it.

There is still a community playing Diablo 2, there's even a overhaul mod that looks really cool. Saw someone streaming it and decided to try it out...

- but when I dug out my Diablo 3 collectors edition soulstone usb thing with D2 on it I had, in the years between buying it and now, misplaced the D2 and Lord of Destruction keys :suicide:

Addendum: My thorns crusader can do everything in Torment 13, bounties, rifts and the greater rifts. It's the hike up beyond that that's killing me.

Someday...

I'm not even hunting them and I've found two recently. :nyan:
And I keep getting into Nephalem Rift zones populated with ponys, teddy bears and flowers... I feel like this is related but no way of knowing for sure.

The RNG I am hating right now is for the staff of herding materials, the gibbering gemstone specifically. Back when I was first playing D3 I managed to farm up each difficulty level of the bell, shin bone, mushroom and liquid rainbow but the gemstone NEVER dropped.
So far on my seasonal characters I've got the bell and the staff plans but the other materials are refusing to show up! :sludgepal:

Just started pushing 80+ g rifts with my Witch Doctor in Zunimassa's.



The guide I found for Zunimassa's set said to use Firebats and Piranhanado but I paired Piranhanado with Plague of Locusts. Thanks to a belt that decreases movement speed of enemies by 80% when they got locusts on them, makes it really easy to crowd control.

And by crowd control I mean run around in circles spamming locusts, spirit walk, pirahnado and soul harvest.

Ok, so I have 4/6 set pieces now. Will swap to the icy veins build, see if I can craft better weapons and give it another go for the chapter 4 achievements. Thank you guys!

Are there any secret tips for levelling your first char each season, to make the process faster?

Like, I started S16 Wizard right now (playing on Switch, but I don't believe it matters?) and I'm slowly grinding bounties in adventure mode, on the Hard difficulty. After two evenings, I'm lv 44 or so and wondering if I can anything better to be more efficient there?

Or is this a "google it" type of question?

Shift+O and search for Seasonal PowerLeveling and Rift Running groups.

Hate to crash your party but those rolls are pretty weak, low attack speed and damage, and crit would be better than 10% Impale probably.

The fact I finally got one and am throwing 3 impales it what's important right now.

I'll probably try and reforge it if I can chain a few Bounty speed runs.

Someone should really set up a goon community, this kind of thing is a tragedy. Nothing worse than goblins escaping the deaths they deserve.

What's the etiquette when playing in public games? I saw a mention earlier in the thread about letting people know when you come across a Bandit Shrine, stuff, like that.

Bandit shrines, goblin packs, gelatinous sires, rainbow goblins, menageries and blood thieves. Treasure goblins and gilded barons don't seem to be worth most people's time to drop whatever else they are doing. But it's still good to inform others.
