It fills me with life to know that we got necro finally and everyone hates the class after years of begging for it. I told everyone this would be a stupid idea and sure enough.

p.s. I actually like the class as it is right now.

This is why I both do, and do not, want Druid to be a thing in d3.

The playstyle of Pestilence is really solid and you can clear T13 with it no problem, it just needs to do more damage at the top end. According to Travis Day on the Necro livestream a couple days ago the 6pc is going to be reworked to also boost Corpse Lance damage and possibly all corpse-based skills along with Bonespear.

At least Travis is doing something productive now, instead of being shackled to SC still.

I'd play this game more during seasons if set dungeons didn't exist. Never been able to bring myself to do those after the first time.

You underestimate how horrible I am at them, even the soo called piss easy sets. Only reason I ever finished the one I did, was having a friend on a different area of the map murdering things while I completed the objective.

They may be a minor part of the season, but they call grind your progress to a halt all too easily.

Fix the lovely rift density that still happens about 60% of the time. I assume they want variation between rifts but why is the entire concept of a lovely rift even a thing. gently caress all these half empty caves. Not everything has to be a graveyard tileset with an elite on every screen but some of these are really bad.

Yes Please. I ran 2 different GR's earlier that had the mile long hallway that were soo long you have to scroll the minimap to see both ends of it, with gently caress all for mobs in it.

Wow set dungeons are loving garbage.

Yes, yes they are.


Is there any good ring I can cube for the Raiment set other than CoE? I have one, but really just don't like the drat thing and hate trying to use it.

I'm currently running the 'Immune to Arcane' amulet, but might swap it for the 'Immune to Freezing' one because holy gently caress frozen has been a common as balls modifier and I hate it.

The Wonder Weapon posted:

CoE is fine if you're goofing off. As stated earlier, what's frustrating is that when you want to really push up the GRs, you have to start paying close attention to the cycle and time your damage dumps in line with it.

This play style isn't necessarily undesirable, but that feature of it is compounded by the fact that it's part of a large percentage of end-game builds across all classes. I don't have D3 up right now so it's inconvenient to check, but I'd bet 5/6 top solo builds use it. Whenever an item is virtually mandatory like that, it's poorly designed.

And don't forget how miserable it is to actually keep track of the cycle with that icon. I've always thought that if I wanted to truly push up the GRs, I'd need to build some sort of AHK script to make it more obvious when I'm supposed to be shooting.

e: At the end of last season, every class but WD and Wiz used CoE to top solo GR. That includes Necro this season.

Both the monk builds I'm loving around with use it and I hate it. I want to find something else to use even if it means I can only push like 5 levels lower. I just want to be able to clear gr70 for primals.

Marketing New Brain posted:

Friendly reminder, bumping up difficult for rifts at the cost of speed is a bad decision. If you can't chew through the content with gold wrap, boon of the hoarder and avarice band, you should be doing a lower rift level.

If you are looking for set pieces which can be gambled easily (not weapons, rings and amulets) greater rifts will get you blood shards the fastest and are the best way to get that piece.

If you are looking for the expensive to gamble for pieces, death's breath from regular rifts are the way to go, use them to upgrade rares.

If you have the correct pieces but they sucks, bounties are the answer, constant reforging is the most efficient way to get a particular ancient, but only do this for hard to gamble for slots.

Am I reading this right in that I should be upgrading rares for rings/amulets?

Pretty much the last poo poo I need for my build aside from a weapon for the cube.

Finally got the 2nd Shenlong, and now I've moved up to t7, and running 3-4m GR 35s.


Marketing New Brain posted:

e: TLDR never upgrade rares that are armor pieces you can gamble for 25 shards. The two exceptions to this I know of are Mask of Jeram and the monk LTK spirit stone, which are rare and have an enormous pool due to all the legendary helmets and the class specific helmets, and so upgrading rare voodoo masks/spirit stones for these specific items is fine.

Awesome. That'll help narrow down some of these more rear end in a top hat pieces without pissing away shards.

Van Helsing is a good game, with an alright story thats better than D3s. Just don't expect it to be balanced very well. I have memories of getting completely shut out by groups of summoners that could chain revive each other faster than I could kill them.
