Diablo III Catch-All 2.0

I'm going for the Monk set, since I have no aptitude for Crusader. I'm liking the rush skill; I've never used that before. And somehow, Exploding Palm is clicking for me like it never did before. Currently I have a skill combo that causes frequent freezing and slowdowns, so when I do it right, enemy mobs just kind of stutter and ooze slowly while I beat them up. It's fun.

I jumped back in with a Crusader. Holy hell, this is fun. I'm a filthy casual, but I'm one GR away from finishing my set IV Season rewards and just found the Chausses of Valor. If I don't pay attention, I melt to the big hits but I one-shot nearly everything with Shield Bash given the 4-piece season set and the shield that makes bash cost 50% less. Never been in Torment IV so quick, ever.

Finished the seasonal journey and got the new portrait and pet. They're actually really good! Definitely like the frame.

Got a 107 cleared now and just going to keep farming. Really need ancient BK weapons to help speed things up too, but again, super early days so pretty happy with where I'm at. Paragon 850 or so now so definitely getting there.

I wont the season pet something fierce. (Tyreal treasure goblin ftw!)
I have never completed a season journey even remotely. I don't think this season will be any different

What is completing a season? More than the first 4 chapters?

Yes. There are a few more sections not labeled "chapters" but act like them. They include things like "complete a t16 rift in less than 5 minutes"

Same here. Only reason I am playing. Took a break from POE to run this season.

Big thanks to Nikias and new clan member MnpulatrCrel for some mad paragons over the weekend. I am down to just a few things to get the season complete.

If anyone needs help give me a holler in game. Will gladly level and gear share with another DH.

Friend me up BlackSabre#6274. I'm more than happy to run through some season journey stuff with you guys to help you get it completed.

Just a matter of making sure our times sync up so you've got a better chance of getting me on the weekend.

Yup, ditto as well as to Fishdude for always being there for me and getting me to play more often and pl me over the seasons. Also Dethroned.

I've suddenly had the inch to play, so I'm on as well.
About to hit 70 and I usually get at least half way through the season stuff.

All of a sudden the RNG gods smile on me a little.
I looted a nilfurs for the sweet meteor love.
I was trying for crit% on a ring and got a socket which I lovingly placed a taeguk in. (I have L17 esoteric in another socket)
I would really be up there if I had a rorg to turn my crimsons and augurs to 3 sets. (20% dam + redux, and % versus elites) I could also try for tals shoulders to get the 4 piece bonus for that.
And for love of RNG can I get an etched sigil please? I have looted all of the other legendary sources and 2 of them I got twice, and most recently, the cube netted me a firebird source, UGH!
I also have a 2400 damage in geom that for the life of me I can't roll a socket on

I maybe dipping my toes back in. We'll see how much time I can wrangle with my new job.

I feel bad. dethroned PLed my wizard through a bunch of T16 and GR75 rifts to get gear, death breaths and a metric ton of paragon levels. (at one point it was 1 paragon level per second)
I got practically everything I wanted. But I was so impressed with his Barb that I had to play one.

OMG I already used 2 of the season set pieces for my wizard and I am just starting to gear the barb, but that set is incredible. Throw in am ambo's (which I am desperately trying to loot now) and I see no issues with that barb being my new record holder for GR and T13-T16. Whirlwind and Rend do 10,000%, Rend is cast on every Whirlwind and Rend does its damage in 1 second and stacks? Yes please!

Yah, several of us are jumping on that bandwagon.....its insanely powerful, and fun to just blast through GRs. In fact because of the Barb, this is the first time I have ever completed all season chapters! Most of us on will PL you if you need more PLing, just ask

Is that what all that spinning was? Dethroned helped me out too, but he was just a twirling blur while the Paragon levels rocketed.

Maybe I'll try that Barb after all. I went Monk and that has been fun.

Me too. My Barb is oddly a glass cannon at the moment.

I think I liked the game better back when pushing a little too high meant you couldn't finish killing things before the rift timer ran out. The narrow threshold between being overpowered and dying instantly is a lot more frustrating.

Or maybe that's just a Wizard thing. But my wife's Barbarian seems to have the same issue.

This is the first season I have 100% completely finished. That is all thanks to the WW barb. I wouldn't worry about PLing characters and then not using them. A couple of seasons back I had fishdude level just about one of everything for me. Then I think I got bored and quit

I've lacked the motivation to log in to the game now that I've completed the season but may still hop on from time to time in the next couple of weeks before PoE 3.9 is released.

I found myself playing on PC, Xbox, and Switch this week.
It's interesting how each one offers a little different way to play that hits a certain niche.

LIAR! You have already abandoned it, oh wait, so have I. Same reasons. It was fun. May still pop in and out as well.

Ditto.....but then I have 2 weeks of school left then I am done with my degree so time is limited anyways the next couple weeks.

woah, they added more torment levels.

Having fun with the demon hunter. Got the main armor and weapons I needed and I’m handling T10 pretty easy. Still looking for the right legendary gems and stuff for the cube. This build is a monster now. Should be amazing if I can complete this.

yeah, they jacked it to t16 a couple of seasons ago. Big step up from the old t13. Greater rifts are still where it is at though. Run t16 for keys and then grind grifts for shards and hope of a good drop.

Side note, the new spinny barb is nutso as well. I have been speed running g85 in about 3 minutes. Faster than my multishot DH.

So I made a DH as a secondary character so no free set. And it is terrible, I struggle so hard and my paragon is already over 300 from my barb. I don't know what I am missing to make her useful.

You can do a lot with just yangs and the multishot quiver.
Or whatever the item is that makes it do more damage and hits enemies under 40% twice or something like that...

Trying a DH for the first time and slowly getting the hang of it. Is there any consensus on which is better, two 1H bows vs 2H bow + quiver?

What build? Makes a huge diff. Multishot is 2h w/ quiver.

The key is synergies. If you find 2+ legendaries that buff the same skill, that'll pretty much always be your best option regardless of other concerns.

If you don't have any relevant legendaries yet it's safe to just trust the (lying) character sheet dps listing for comparing 1H/2H and so on.

Yeah, that's the build I'm using. It's five pieces of the season reward set for demon hunter and 2 pieces of a set of crafted armor plus RoRG in the cube. Once I got all those I pretty much jumped up five difficulty and clicked in the general direction of enemies and everything dies. I've since gathered everything else except the amulet and the bracers and I've jumped up at least 8 more difficulty levels.

Neat tip: if you have a Broken Crown in your cube and you get lucky and get a portal to Wimseydale, equip the gem for your main stat in your helm and switch to that power before you clear Wimseydale. I got over 200 emeralds tonight that way and was able to upgrade all my gems in my armor/weapon to the highest gear in one fell swoop.
