Diablo 3 - SEASON SIX HYPE

[Pheesh]

Fairly productive first day for me. I got to level 70, paragon 38 I think. I didn't have much luck with my blood shards though, was hoping to get 2 or 3 pieces of a set by the end of the day, but all I ended up with was one Raiment and one Inna's. I'm just sticking to torment 1 at the moment but I did do a few greater rift pushes just for fun. Cleared an 18 and was rank 120 on the solo monk leader board, which means absolutely nothing at this stage, but it was the first time I've ever been on there so I was still happy.

As I checked my friends list occasionally throughout the night I was honestly impressed at your rate of progress.

You're killing me Pheesh. I did not expect for you to get this far ahead of me. xD

[Pheesh]

So far my luck has been atrocious this season. Last season I was t6 efficient within about a day of hitting 70. I'm currently on 3 days and still stuck on t3, which is pretty lame. One of the most frustrating things about this game is that to farm gear effectively you need to be playing on higher difficulties, but you can't get to higher difficulties without the really good gear you're trying to farm. The struggle is real.

That's why you play with other people!

Helps to not skip levels in greater rifts. Almost clear 1 then wait until sub five minutes to clear and move on to two, and so forth until you're maxed. I've been getting a legendary besides the gem every time so far. Even though GRift 1 is supposed to be normal difficulty the legendaries you get are still torment quality.

[CimminyCricket]

I actually never considered that. I usually just go hog whiled into whatever Grift I can find.

Lessons.

So anyone else jump back into this what with the new season and all the other new stuff?

Cause I definitely took a break for a little while but now I'm back into it.

[Pheesh]

I'll probably jump into it eventually. I get burned out too quickly if I start the season straight away, and I also have a lot of things going on. But yeah, I can never resist the call of this game for long.

I'm playing on a Witch Doctor this season with my brother, who plays Barbarian. We're doing Torment 7 right now reliably. But I can't seem to find a Furnace or Ring of Royal Grandeur to complete my build. Soon as I get those, though, we'll jump to T9.

[theundeadhero]

Made a barb last weekend and leveled it up into paragons. With my workload from school this semester I haven't been able to play it throughout the week but I'll do some farming over the weekend.

[Pike]

I had a friend make a ridiculously overpowered weapon for my baby wizard and that's what I'm leveling right now. Wizard is stupid fun

[theundeadhero]

Shot up to clearing T6 Grifts this weekend. My Barb literally has infinite rage from an ancient The Gavel of Justice. I'm a little disappointed that you can only clear one Grift at a time now instead of farming them. I like the cube though.

[Pike]

I maxed my wizard and did some paragons. I think I'm gonna make a crusader next. when Mister Adequate recovers from his sickness we're gonna do a co-op game together. It'll be good times.

I had a light homework week so got to play quite a bit since last weekend. All this time and I still haven't found a Furnace to extract though. Without it, I've found an interesting and fun build to use though. My weapon extract gives Hammer of Ancients a 30% chance to summon an ancient barbarian. Since I never run out of rage from my Gavel of Justice that's my main damage dealer and I almost constantly have all three ancient barbs out, so I use Wrath of the Berserker as my big cooldown ability. Combined with the Legacy of Raeker set (five pieces instead of six because of the Ring of Royal Grandeur extract) I do a ton of damage with Furious Charge too. My rings are Focus and Restraint. I don't really have much going for a bracer, boots, shoulders or belt so I use whatever gives me the best stats while my armor extract gives Hammer of Ancients a 200% increase in damage and 50% increase attack speed. I have Krelm's bracers so a nice Krelm's belt would be nice. I would possibly fill them in with two pieces of Asheara's Vestments or even, gasp, Blackthornes. Other then that it's just farming for ancient upgrades.
