I played D3 solo 99% of the time. I actually enjoy the experience more since I can just do my own thing at my own pace.

Yep. Play D3 in windowed mode and alt tab to porn, youtube videos, forum posts, whatever. D3 is not nearly engaging enough to be played 100% for that long.


In fact, I'm finding games that *don't* require my full attention to be more fun than those that do. I probably have ADD.

Or you're an adult who knows that finding a 2+ hour block of uninterrupted game time is pretty rare

Oh god, yesterday I sat at my computer doing nothing for a half hour because I knew my son was going to bed soon. My wife had it handled as she usually does. But I knew, the moment I entered the arena queue, he would lose his shit and she would need some help.

If anyone is screwing around on the PTR and is bored, I re-created a ReRolled clan there as I didn't see one. Shoot McFly#1102 a friend request for an invite.

I rejoined the rerolled guild but no one is on, anyone have a semi casual guild I can join to crush t6 rifts and grifts to get ready for 2.3? Im just farming t6 atm for shards and grift keystones while they are easy to get.

I don't think anything is changing in 2.3 that will reduce the ability to get grift stone or blood shards. Probably the best materials to farm now is arcane dust and death breaths.

Yeah but all your normal fragments become useless, so turning them into grift keys at the moment.

Yah I know, I just figure ill grind as many grift keys now as I can so I can crush them nonstop once patch is out for a considerable time.

Well you get an assload of keys when you open t8+ bounty caches tho. Basically don't worry about rift keys anymore.

If you want to farm something that will actually help you post-patch farm several thousand veiled stones and the blue mats. You will tear through those. Also I'd save any souls you have now, even if you have thousands.

Death's Breath I think will be the bottleneck mat come 2.3. Maybe arcane dust too if you're not willing to transmute between mats(which also costs DBs).

That one crafted set gives double DB's right? Cain's, I think? Time to whip that shit out finally :p

Weirdly I'm finding Veiled Crystals the one I'm running out of. I think it's just a result of the 2000% buff and I'm not even bothering to pick up yellows. The only Veiled Crystals I seem to get come from Kadala. One thing's for sure, the PTR is making me more aware of what I will need as far as crafting mats goes.

Oh and a one final thing, I never though I'd have as much fun as my S3 Whirly Barb, but damn this Uliana's Monk where CDR is 65%+ and I just 7SS and EP everything is amazing fun on PTR. Hope it goes in live.

Yeah veiled crystals are the bottleneck. I still have a couple stacks of deaths breaths and I went through THOUSANDS of those rolling perfect manajumas ancients for my exploding chicken build. But I ran out of veiled stones like a week into PTR and I had like 6 stacks of 5000 when I copied. I even found more on an alt and burned through them fast.

You use 50 when upgrading legendaries and you use at least a few in just about every cube recipe.

I've only tried a couple of interesting builds with my monk but I've had a blast playing exploding chicken and a fuckton of other WD builds.

The extracted legendaries really open up sooooo many play styles that it'll take a while before optimal builds shit on build diversity again. We'll probably get a month or two of fun before streamers and ladder leaders isolate master race builds.

Let's say a want an ancient BK weapon, I can't decide which of Kanai's recipes would be more efficient, from a mat standpoint, at getting that.

5x of each new bounty mat and 50x Forgotten Souls? This is the "Reforge Legendary" recipe.
25x Death Breaths and 50x of the white/blue/yellow tradeskill mats(and a rare mighty weapon,which I've been farming)? This is the "Upgrade Rare Item" recipe.
10x Death Breaths and 10x Forgotten Soul. This is the "Convert Set Item" recipe.


I'm not even certain all of these can roll ancient. I'm relatively certain the first one can, think a dev tweeted about that. But not sure about the other two. Last one seems like the best if it can roll ancient.




What recipe are you using that is eating your Veiled Crystals?

For me it was the upgrade yellow to legendary recipe, which like the reroll set item recipe DOES roll ancient. Basically whenever I'm shooting for a specific epic, say like your rare mighty weapon, I'd rift/grift as usual and save the yellow items and then after blowing all my shards with kadala, I'd go and upgrade those yellows too.

It does go through deaths breaths too but I still have a few stacks of those as well as the other mats but I've burned through all my veiled stones and forgotten souls long before my PTR char got wiped around s4.
