edgar_ posted:bored in quarantine picking up d3 again for the first time in like 2 years, which class should i pick this season Witch Doctor, because the new set is very strong for basically any way you want to play the game: fast or slow, group or solo. Barb is also a good call but it takes building 2-3 sets with variations to cover all the bases that the WD set does, and if group play matters to you, barb mostly plays support there.

Mundunugu is the best WD speed build right now by a mile. For speed stuff you can drop most of the non-set-related, non-Barber/Gazing Demise damage buffs and add In-Geom and various movespeed-related stuff like Rechel's and Echoing Fury.

Ellaybee posted:What’s the best WD AoE build that might give me better results with the Curses conquest? My SB build does fine with GRs around the low 90 level, but it seems to cap out around 330 kills in the Peat event. If I should be able to do it with this build I’d welcome any advice. It’s the last thing on my checklist and I’d love to check it off the list before the tendinitis in my wrist crippled me. I did it in a group with my SB build but I'd cleared into the 110s by then anyway.

keseph posted:If you're having wrist issues with SB I suspect you're not grokking where the damage is really coming from. The auto- targeting ghost above your head does 98% of the damage and you should be spamming piranhado around the spawn points to ensure the explosions hit as many targets as possible while standing in the middle of the other spawn point. The ground target for SB barely tickles, it's only there to make the ghost attack faster, but you can place them well to ensure mobs get tickled and aggro ASAP It's funny how this is absolutely the case in low level runs but in high level GRs you can clear entire elite packs and piles of trash off of 3 casts of Phantasm.

WarpedLichen posted:Are there any tips to getting ancients besides grind GRs nonstop? Besides upgrading rares (best for weapons) and reforging, optimize your grind for the most legendaries per hour. Generally this means farming whatever level of GR you can run consistently in about 2 minutes instead of working near the top of your capabilities. Running with a group of others using the same class is also a decent plan if you can swing it.

For the things you need a chicken dagger for, ancient with a halfway decent damage roll is plenty. I think I use a ~2800 dps one with vit/cdr rolls for bounties since that's the only real use for the chicken. Echoing Fury for speed t16, the better of your Barber or Harvester for GRs, Barber only for high-level group GRs.

Gaukler posted:Spirit barrage mundu with an in-geom in the cube got me through the boss rush with about a minute to spare, and I died on urzael because I thought the cutscene had triggered and he just stomped me to death instead. It's about a push at t16 but they stay fast and stable a lot higher into speed GRs. Mun is excellent at fast lower-level runs up to about gr85 and slower runs in the 105+ range but that area in between those levels is much better for Patterns (or WW barb). The other upside for Mun is that you don't have to build a completely different set to do 120+ in groups like monk or barb do.

Sanctum posted:Today I learned you could re-roll enchantments more than just 1 time. I wonder what other basic mechanics I am missing. I gather that the loot you find is limited by how deep you've gone into the GR, since I'm suddenly finding new types of legendaries after pushing further in. The only thing that changes the types of items that can drop with higher GR levels is that once you clear gr70 solo, primal ancient items (ancients where all affix rolls are maximum value) unlock and can drop. They're about a 1 in 400 chance on any given legendary drop at that point. GR70 solo gives you one for free but no guarantees it'll be useful (or even playable by your class). For pushing deeper into GRs on any class, finishing a full 6 piece set and adding complementary legendary items in the rest of the slots will take you a long way. On wizard, the best performing GR solo builds seem to be Vyr's Archon (6p set and a whole bunch of other legendaries to go with) and Legacy of Dreams Hydra (uses the Legacy of Dreams gem that gives you massive bonuses for ancient items if you don't have any set bonuses equipped). Both of them get a lot of their defense from Storm Armor and the Halo of Karini ring's legendary affix that reduces incoming damage by up to 80% every time your storm armor shocks something 15 yards away.

Sanctum posted:What is the effect that causes mobs to be stuck in a resisting all damage state while they are being sucked into a black hole. Is it just that my fracture decoys are casting the black hole and it does 10% dmg? I am playing on a switch lite and this is a problem because my auto-targeting is largely outside of my control and if some trash mob is dying a lengthy death I am focusing on it instead of very deadly spear tossers just outside my visual radius (moving south-anything really sucks!) Black Hole in general is janky like that. The real fun is when it interacts even more poorly with other classes' crowd control skills and leaves mobs permanently stuck on 1hp, for example an elite or two on gr110+ so you don't get any progress orbs for killing them. The moral of the story is to avoid Black Hole in groups.

The seismic slam rune that dumps all your fury is actually way better than boulder toss since it plays into the set bonuses. Cubing In-Geom also solves your leap cooldown problems way better than Reaver does, unless you're trying to do progression runs with Leapquake because you don't have ww or frenzy built and/or you hate yourself. edit: In-Geom can also turn Threatening Shout into spammable Avalanche+Earthquake to kill the next elite you hit KenBearlLOLOL fucked around with this message at 08:20 on May 15, 2020 |

The only competition in groups this season was nova necro and losing Nayr's Black Death (325% damage bonus in most builds) and Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang (200% bonus) from their cube is more painful than losing MOJ/Enforcer.

Here's a short explanation of the build over PTR video of a 3-man GR145 where LOD Corpse Explosion was the only DPS. Obviously Raxx has a ton of paragons but even without them it should still be a reasonable secondary choice in 4-man as trash clearer if you don't want to run a WD, and I've seen other videos with Corpse Explosion in speeds/solos.

DH next season- Unhallowed Essence Multishot, Shadow Impale, GoD Hungering Arrow all are good options for solo t16/GRs. Barb is all Wastes Rend/WW variations for soloing. Sorry about the WW guide being fairly old but none of the relevant gear or skills were changed between s19 and s21, and s20 WW had different gear requirements/options with 2-3 rings in the cube and Focus/Restraint equipped. The frenzy set is very good and can push pretty high on solo GRs but it comes up short of WW for both speed farming and pushing.

Filthy console players, PC casuals, and tryhards are all welcome on the discord. I just finished off the builds lists for each class on there, linking to video guides when available (and d3planners if not) for basically every potentially relevant build for t16 rifts/bounties, solo speed GRs, 4p speeds/xp farming, and 4p GR120-150 pushing. I also compiled videos on fast leveling and linked a video and d3planners for going from fresh 70 through farming with the Haedrig's Gift sets this season.

Mind over Matter posted:But I'm asking "How/why does that work, what does Strafe piercing change about Momentum at all?" Strafe piercing won't change anything about momentum stacks because projectiles from the 4p GoD bonus don't give you Momentum stacks even if they come from a pierced Strafe projectile, but Valla's does do something useful: since the 4p GoD bonus that fires off generators has a 9 frame internal cooldown and triggers on one of your Strafe projectiles hitting an enemy, if you end up with a 7 or 8 frame Strafe breakpoint (1.66-2.13 aps iirc) the Valla pierces' delayed damage (or rockets from that strafe rune) can add in 4p GoD triggers when you otherwise wouldn't get them. There's a big text dump translated from the chinese d163 forums that goes into further detail, and Wudijo has a couple videos that discuss it as well.

Waroduce posted:+yard pick up is a required secondary stat on many higher end GR push or support builds. Like when you start pushing 120s you kinda want it and by the time you get to 130ish you absolutely need it, particularly on the zmonk it is critical since you shouldn't be moving your pad of life very often (cause you're making your RGK specifically and anyone else relying on you to live move with you. ) Radius on zmonk is a "nice to have if you can get it" stat at best. It's significantly less valuable than CDR (maximum rolls necessary for permanent epiphany), globe bonus (since your shield abilities scale with it), IAS, RCR and all res. Running a non-WD trash clearer in your group makes radius even less valuable since WD damage is dependent on keeping Gruesome Feast stacks but none of the other trash clear/RGKs actually have any globe synergies, and even in WD groups the barb should be able to handle stacking GF before the Phantasms get set down since the barb generates most of the globes and should have radius on the items their meta set shares with their rat/GOD group set.

McLarenF1 posted:On a separate note, I'm up to Paragon 1205 and I started messing around with other build options on my GoD DH now that I've got Level 100 augmented ancient gear for every slot minus non ancient chest and annulate, and non-augmentrd weapons. I ended up swapping my Squirts/Fortress Ballista for Flavor of Time/Vallas which lowered my sheet damage from 2.8M to 2.2M, my crit from 60/550 to 55/450, but upped my area damage from 50 to 90. I'm dying occasionally now, but I'm also procing more Hungering Arrows so it seems worth it as I clear trash much better (I mostly focus on group play). Valla's/Flavor vs Fortress/Squirt's in groups comes down to two things: your strafe breakpoint and how well you can keep up the Squirt's buff. If you're only p1200 you'll probably have issues keeping up Squirt's even with the shield, and if you're in the breakpoint dead zone between 1.66 and 2.15aps too you'll definitely get better results from Valla's/Flavor. Eventually it gets a lot easier to keep squirt's stacked as you add more para dex and improve your gear, and 2.15aps will cut down on the gap between procs significantly if you're not using Valla's or Rocket Storm for additional hits. Most of the group setups will lean toward Fortress/Squirt's in the long run because the Squirt's buff ends up being more valuable than the extra procs and double pylons in short runs. Waroduce posted:I think we are talking past each other a bit and saying more or less the same thing. If youve got pieces with the right stat distribution (hopefully on the high end of everything) including ancients, CDR and good rolls across the board, + radius and +health globes are your next optimization step and make a huge difference in push. The monk should be grabbing globes to tske advantage of the +health globes on his poo poo in general Nah, we're not talking past each other here. Globe bonus isn't the roll you add after you get all the IAS/CDR/RCR and toughness stats on ancients. It's about as important to a zmonk as crit stats are to a DPS character, just tucked away in the secondaries- not because it scales the healing from globes, but because every buff you bring to a group that the group can't get from other support classes scales directly with it, and as a result a non-ancient item with globes is much, much better than even a primal with the same primary affixes without globes.

Yeah, the holy trinity of zmonk stats is CDR (all perfect rolls is the #1 requirement), then IAS and globe bonus on about the same level. The only one of those stats that actually scales up with getting an ancient? Globes. Getting to 200k+ globes is a massive deal- at 200k the Mantra shield is about 50% more effective and that skill in and of itself is most of the reason a non-WD group wants a zmonk. Getting ancients just makes it easier to stack toughness so you survive, adding globes makes it easier to keep everyone else alive.

Dameius posted:You would not be able to burn a goblin down before it escaped unless you managed to keep it in the direct middle of a big density pack. ... or if you walked up with a conduit active since that's how elites die anyway. If you put 8-10% additional progress in the middle of a rift for basically no risk to the player, they'll fish for a run that gets it even if it means getting lucky with a gob staying in piles or finding a convenient conduit next to one. poo poo, there's already plenty of "40% progress from one conduit" examples out there, that idea would just bump the top end of conduits to 50% of the rift if it's situated and played right. I'd much rather not have that even if it meant occasionally shaving 10 seconds on a 2 minute speedrun.
