Finally reinstalling the game after too long.

Re: Diablo 3

So has much really changed with the addition of seasons? I know there is a few new items/balance changes but ultimately there is nothing new to do right?

Re: Diablo 3

Started playing again.
Created a seasonal wizard, got rushed to 70 (ty to Reach and my roommate) then just solo farmed rifts.

After about 7 hours of playing, this is where I am at:

Apparently the gods of loot want me to play fire mage. Again.
I'll be using this to farm something more interesting (aka Tal's)
Still, pretty crazy you can get 5 pieces of a set that fast now.

Stats self-buffed: (for what that's worth)


I also have three ways to cheat death with this build (shoulder, Firebird, passive) before I actually die which is unnecessary but hilarious.

It's fun to have a fresh start and if you are like me and haven't played since before seasons, a LOT has changed balance-wise so you get new builds to play around with.
The game is still fundamentally the same though, yeah.

Re: Diablo 3

Firebirds is incredibly easy to get, it's actually annoying when trying to get Tal's pieces. Kadala gives ancient pieces allllll the time

Re: Diablo 3

Mathematically I'm pretty sure the drop rates for all 3 sets this season on wiz are exactly the same.

Just coincidence for you, most likely. It was the same for me back when I was trying to make a set.

Re: Diablo 3

There's a Kadala simulator if you want to test your luck there. Pretty neat.

Re: Diablo 3

200,000 shards on 1h weapons, about 15 wands of Woh and only 1 Serpent sparker, despite the Woh being twice as rare.

Yep, sums up my season nicely. 4 Furnaces, 3 Wands of Woh, 3 Taskers, 3 Witching Hours @ Para 300. No Sparkers. Just waiting to get one and having it be complete shit, too.

I hear it's even worse for DH too this season, the probability of Ancient Krinder is so low it's not even worth gambling for. It's like buying lottery tickets. You're never going to win. And even if you do, there's no guarantee it rolls discipline.

I cried when I remembered I actually already have an ancient krinder from last season on my DH, only to realize it didn't roll discipline and I already rolled and gifted it. =/

Re: Diablo 3

I got a pretty decent serpent sparker today as my first lvl 70 legendary wand drop and I immediately thought of you Reach <3

Oh god, I hate you D:

Re: Diablo 3

This is the Serpent Sparker I recently got. I've only tried a GR 46 with it and I finished it, but it wasn't my best time. About to try a 47 with it.



EDIT: Finished the 47 in 12:58. Got a pretty bad rift, but gonna try 48 now

EDIT 2: Finished the 48 in 10:55. 983 on the leaderboards. Whewww.

Re: Diablo 3

Played Delsere's for all of 24 hours before I finished my Tal's set.


Holy shit Tal's is broken, at least with Delsere's I had to do a little work for my billion+ crits (get the enemies in slow time, stack triumvirate)
With Tal's you just roll your face over the keyboard and meteors randomly kill things for you. What the fuck

Where I am now:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/hi19hi19-1232/hero/61483229

Explanations:
-shoulders because it's not a particularly important slot for the Tal's build and my Ancient Delsere's are far better than anything else I have
-offhand because using my Ancient offhand and Ancient Tal's gloves is actually better than using my shit-tier Tal's offhand and shit-tier Tasker and Theo. At least that's the case for farming T6 rifts where everything dies instantly anyway, will try TnT again in high grifts.
-gems are 3x offensive ones because Gizzard is for pussies (real reason is I literally haven't had time to level a defensive gem yet lol)
-weapon is pretty hawt :3 (could be hotter tho with attack speed, can't win everything)

Re: Diablo 3

btw big shoutouts to reach and poison for helping me gear up so fast <3

Re: Diablo 3

Gizzard seems essential for higher GR if you want any sort of consistency. It's easy to stay alive with Gizzard since to can just heal while kiting. Without it I feel like with Tals there is nothing to save you and you have to hunt for skele rifts and that's about it.

That weapon is so gorgeous though.

Been playing my DH instead of wizard lately out of boredom, already almost as strong. Can tackle near 40 already even with some shit gear (bad weapon, int on rings). Gameplay with UE set is simple but fun.
