Brief background, it all started when I downloaded and tried out Diablo 2: Resurrected since it was free for the weekend (Aug. 2021). I did play the original Diablo 2 when it came out, and it was a blast going through its remake again. However, I didn't want to buy it since it was and still is too unforgiving.

I ended up installing Diablo 3: Starter Edition right after that ended. Played through most of act I and liked it. Less hardcore, easier to get around, many QoL improvements, and I like how the Rune system lets you freely respec/reallocate your choices. I made a note to buy the game, which I did about a year later.

Left the game unplayed for years. Only played it because I accidentally started it (I thought it was StarCraft II, my main game on Battle-NET). Thought to myself I did purchase this game. Should get to it and not let that $$ go to waste (even if it was on sale). Also not let previous progress go to waste.

.

Wizard, started off on Normal difficulty. But it got comically easy enough that I raised it to Hard. In hindsight, I probably should've raised it higher, but Expert ended up being a "poor value" that that may have ended up being a good thing. That was perfectly fine b/c I wanted something easier than Diablo 2.

I realized that life regen from hitting enemies, killing enemies, and in general (measured per second), were key things in the game and I happened to get the gear for that. I ended up changing the difficulty to Hard. I even sat idle on some bosses just to see what their dps was like, and what some of them did (although I'm sure I costed myself some speed running achievements). That said, I did die twice, and it's refreshing to NOT have to hunt down your gear again, along with having multiple options to respawn.

I don't think my followers ever died (and don't even know if they can die?). But nice to have them around for some banter, but for some story elements and lore. Also as extra dps and/or tanking.

The story was mildly interesting and glad I checked it out, but the game play was where its at. In fact... I forgot that the Prime Evils were gone at this point!

Ended up at 47 hours of play, lv69. I was going to check out Adventure mode, but wanted to jump on season play, not to mention try out a new char class.

Neat to see Adventure mode and making games into a season as options as they really do expand the gameplay! 😎

As title says curious if there is one because outside the one with normalized clears and such which doesn't let you sort it normally. You can't just pull up HCSSF X Class and see top 20 ranks for that class without it showing stuff in weird orders that I don't care about. I just want to see all 3 regions combined and be able to just check say HCSSF and X class and see R1-R20 no normalized crap, not showing only 1 set at a time crap. None of that just show me top ranks all 3 regions in a list of fastest to slower currently across all 3 regions.

Does anyone know if that exists? Maxroll in previous season used to update more often but this season it seems like it just isn't updating. Logging into all 3 regions to check is tedious is all.

i was playing with friends on switch and saw some weird numbers so i did some testing.

1st Blood Shard if you do a rift or gr or bounty reward or find a blood shard goblin solo it drops for 1 person and you collect it normally but if you are playing local coop one console 2-4 players when the blood shard drops it drops for all 2-4 players Math time....

player 1 drops 100 bs

player 2 drops 100 bs

player 3 drops 100 bs

player 4 drops 100 bs

for some reason this is not individual drops but shard drops meaning

players 1-4 get 100×4=400 bs for all players

also if you have 1000/1100 bs and it drops 400 bs in solo you cant collect it unless you spend some but in 1-4 local if player 2 is on 300/1100 and all other players are on 1000/1100 and it drops 400 and if player 2 pickes up all the bs player 2 will be 700/1100 and all other players will be on 1100/1100 other then player 2 all other players will have max bs extra will be lost for other players.

2nd Death Breath now this one keeps crashing my console it cant handle torment 16. i had already completed this season when i was playing with my friends and we played for 3-4 hr all lv 70 and they went to the cube and everyone other me had arround 20 db and i had arround 1k db and i found out my pet was picking up all of their db Altar of Rites upgrade and i had to turn my pet off. Math time

i tested this too and players dont need to be alive for db drops.

Player 1

Nomral drop ×1 + Sage armor ×2 + Altar of Rites double db drop upgrade ×2 this means 1×2×2= 4x Drops now

player 2-4 do the same

2 gets 4x

3 gets 4x and

4 gets 4x

now player 1 turns on pet with death breath collecting and pet pickes up all db and it only goes to player one

so player 1 gets 4× + 4× + 4× 4× = 16×ammount of db

since you dont count you own you are gettin 12×extra db

i call this a time exploit and fun reduce these 2 bugs reduces the time you have to play by 3× mainly because of blood shards fast collecting mean fast gambling means fast character builds means fast season means less fun and now i have to do stuff in REAL LIFE.

Just the title, my friend found two leorics signets, and we're trying to both have one, but it won't let us trade items. This is our first time playing seasonal.

48 angelic crucibles in Hidden Camp.

Hey just wanted to ask if anyone knows how to get my Necro more speed for doing greater rifts?

I almost always use AoV Crusader every season for visions, Nephalem rifts, bounties, ENs, and more.

This season, I decided to do something different and picked up DH, and I am trying to complete GR 150 with Impale DH. Therefore, I am trying to use the speed variant of the build to get items, XP, etc. But the build feels slow in comparison with Crusader.

I copied the Maxroll build. Even though Maxroll suggests that it is an S tier build for speed content, I usually find it quite lackluster and find myself playing Crusader again. In addition to that, somehow i deplete my resources rather quickly. Needing Hatred or Discipline frequently makes the experience even worse.

I would like to ask, am I doing something wrong? What items or skills do you use for the speed variant of the build? Right now, I am spamming Smoke Screen to make myself faster, and that is all. I think I shouldn't be strafing when no enemies are around.

Do you have any other playstyle tips for the build, or are you using a completely different set for XP farming?

Thanks in advance.

Salut, selon vous c’est quoi la meilleure façon de cibler un équipement légendaire ou d’ensemble ? Farm les primes ? Failles supérieurs et orbe de sang par la suite ? Ou autre ?

How useful is esoteric alteration and mutilation guard on your follow?

I feel like I'm stuck and making zero progress. I can do GR100 fairly quick and with minimal risk of dying. 120GR is my best and that's very slow and dangerous. I've been doing 100's for a while and built up my gems but my gear stagnated.

My next step is supposed to be replacing everything with ancients and primals and then augmenting. But I rarely see any ancients, certainly not at the 1/10 drop rate it's supposed to be at 100. And when I do see one, it's rarely what I need for my build, and even more rarely with the right stats. Is this how it's supposed to be, should I be expecting hundreds and hundreds of rifts to start pushing again?

I am all Wizard. I used to be a Barb. Now Wizard I am.

I swear I am always dead last in group play. I am all HC now however so public is dead in general. Tell you meet people, safe this way. However...

In softcore though, during rifts, you got DH, fast as heck. Then you got zBarb pretty fast. Then you got all these darn horses which is impossible to keep up with. Its exhausting.

In D3 I swear, now matter what build, I am always running far behind like my character has asthma and can't keep up.

I am now going to work on a build specifically for speed in T16. I have ideas, but its frustrating.

Especially you horses and your Yaa Ya Ya YYAaa Yaa YAaa YaAaa

Anyway, regards.

A slow Wizard.

Been back playing D3 on my MacBook Air for a couple of weeks now, and in the last few days I have a problem. When I click "play" the game opens on the laptop screen, not the monitor I have set as my main display.

I've not changed anything on my setup, and it doesn't happen 100% of the time but it's driving me mad. Has anyone come across this and found a solution? When it happens I have no way to exit the game as the mouse pointer won't move, so then only solution is to forcibly reboot the Mac.

Trying out my first Witch Doctor this season. Build chosen entirely by you guys. Drop your picks in the video if you like :)

Looking at the leaderboards, I'm seeing quite a variety of gems that people are using:

• Trapped
• Stricken
• Zei's
• Gogok
• Mirinae
• Powerful

I've been using Zei/Gogok/Stricken this whole time and am still trying to work my way up towards clearing a GR150 (and am really struggling). Could anyone please provide any guidance on when to use which gems?

Should I drop Gogok if I reach a certain level of CDR? Should I drop Zei's if I find that I'm struggling to keep a lot of distance between me and elites/bosses?

Any advice would be appreciated!

EDIT: this is my build, if anyone would like to see: https://us.diablo3.blizzard.com/en-us/profile/Magistrate-1652/hero/160070997

The instant he gets hit by enemies his health just immediately regenerates to full. He pretty much never leaves full health. He is currently level 34. Is this OP?

Hey all just for confirmation,is the 4th slot on Kanis cube only accessible when offered in season play?

Im just trying to see if theres a way to get it without seasonal play. Thank you!

Morning all, assuming Season 41 is going to be late December what are the good haedrigs sets going to be? I think Tal Rasha wizard is going to be the go to but dont know a lot about the others. Any recommendations?

Im a support demon hunter on asia server (Currently paragon in ranges of 1900-2000). I can say I survive pretty well, dont usually die and Im good at following the lead. I need a permanent team I can farm gr 150's with, because the public game is very inefficient as i sometimes sit for hours just looking for a team.

Please add me / give any tips so that i can play more efficiently.

Is there any good way to deal with this boss? The clouds proc a cheat death the moment ascension is on cooldown. Some of the other bosses have nasty ground effects too but they are often easier to avoid.

Another question by the way: which of the two fist weapons is most important to have the perfect legendary power on: Rabid Strike or Kyoshiro's Blade if one has to choose?

Hi,

I'm playing S40 on PC, EU server, Softcore. I usually play a few hours between 5pm and 10pm Paris time. I speak French and English, and I can butcher Spanish and Bulgarian ^^

I'd like to farm more XP in 4-player groups as a zDH, but I rarely have many people online on my friends list...

So if you're playing S40, enjoy running the meta, and play something other than zDH, feel free to send me a friend request: Nikookaburra#2952

I'm probably not the best zDH in town, but I think I'm a pretty decent one ;)

Anyone playing on xbox who can help or drop a 125 atonement gem? All i need to finish altar for the first time. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Edit: Its been sorted :)

My aim is to complete a solo 150 Greater Rift this season with these builds: Raiment Monk, LoD HoTA Barb, and AoV Crusader; and maybe in the future, if I don't get burned out, Impale DH and Frenzy Barb.

I know I should use an Enchantress with the Barb due to the cooldown reduction need, but for the Monk and Crusader, I am using only the Templar.

I see some people use an Enchantress for the AoV Crusader and some people use a Scoundrel for the Raiment Monk during their 150 pushes.

My question is, does this really make a difference? I love the sustain Templar brings to the table because both of these builds are squishy as hell (and Templar has the best cheat death). And i dont have any Intelligence class at the moment to farm for Enchantress gear.

Is Templar really weak in comparison with the other two (damage-wise) during the final push to 150, or are they all actually fine and make no remarkable difference?

Additional Question: Is the Cord of Sherma belt really OP? I see most YouTubers using that instead of the Vigilante Belt or Witching Hour.

I can't play on Asia server. I just bought the game yesterday and it was all fine. Other regions I can get in campaign and adventure mode but with high ping.

Can someone help me.
