Having fun trying to solo greater rifts more this season than last.

I had a good 54 GR with a channeling and power pylon right next to each other and ember as a last boss that really did nothing but path back and forth.

I forgot how terrible it was to re gear from scratch, and going for deaths breaths makes me not want to play seasons.
There is really no reason to play seasons still. The portrait is cool. The mount is fine if you play HotS. Other then getting those two things it is a detriment to playing. Like after two hours you are max level and then frustrated at having less mats and less paragon levels then on normal. The poopsockers will always be on the leaderboards and there is no other incentive. I really don't understand why Blizz hasn't come up with some other incentives. Give it increased exp gain so you can possibly surpass your regular guys. Increase the legendary drop rate or the ancient affix rate. Do something. As it stands right now it's gear out, grab your portrait and move back to normal.

I'm hitting a dps wall around GR50 as a Vyr's wizard without a Fulminator or Halo. Can't switch from the regen shield gem to a DPS one until I get the Halo and the lack of lightning rods everywhere doesn't help either.

Still, hitting the must have gear wall at 50 is better than seasons ago when it was 25/T6.

grouping is pretty much the only way to have fun when starting over fresh, then the gear flys in pretty quickly.

I can solo Grifts at 27 right now pretty easily. At 28 last night I wasn't getting the bonus, I ended up needing 20 more seconds. Probably should play safer instead of going rambo. I just got wreath of lightning gem and with fulminator it's so much fun.

Since we were just talking about dh's and their sets. Just to show how much better ue is than marauders. I played dh w/ ue last season so I knew what I was getting into, but its just insane going from 30m multishots(even if you have 3 sentries in the area that is only 120m) to 300m changing from marauder's to unhallowed essence.

Still need focus/restraint, but using a manald heal which has disc and going to test to see if soj or my other ring performs better.

I'd think the main issue with marauder is you can't use Dead Man's Legacy and the sentry quiver at the same time(well you could cube it but I assume it's a weapon effect, so it's competing with Furnace too, or Krider or Calamity or whatever DHs use) so you're never going to attain maximum efficiency. The set should probably boost companion damage too, I don't think it does right, just makes you use all the runes. If the companions got the 6pc, they'd do pretty decent damage, I guess. Then maybe some numbers tweaks, the playstyle is interesting enough.

Talking about DH, they did a Q&A on Reddit yesterday and talked about the 2.4 DH set(they're remaking the shitty shadow power set). It's gonna be a melee weapon Impale+Shadow Power centric set, and it looks crazy interesting. You basically get perma shadow power with all runes and Impale does a ridiculous 30k% more damage on the first target it hits(though obviously numbers are temporary) while you get a 1000% damage bonus while equipped with a melee weapon, opening a lot of skills to be used that were shitty like Fan of Knives, Caltrops and more importantly those Spike Traps no one has used since 1.0 even though they just added new legendaries for them. Right now the values look retarded so definitely not gonna be that, but sounds really cool and different than the standard DH stuff.

My seasonal WD has gotten some really good legendaries juiced, so I rolled up a brand new WD to see how the effects are for grinding level. Nagelring, Grin Reaper, and Wormwood. I don't even have to cast and shit just falls over dead from mimics and locust.

I still don't get why anyone would use the 'reforge legendary' recipe. Let's say I want an ancient GoJ and I have a garbage duplicate already laying around. I can either spend 5x bounty mats and 50x souls or 250 parts/dust/crystals and 125 breaths(1/5 chance to get a gavel from rare -> legendary recipe, so I multiplied by 5). 125 breaths does seem like a lot, but 50 souls seems even longer.

Ask someone in clan to power level you. I just went 1-70 in 20 minutes. Phurion hooked a brother up. Granted he is a 511p Barb that cleaned up a T6 rift in like 30 seconds.

Jeez, 511 barb already? I started my seasons WD yesterday morning and I've only managed paragon 97 in a few hours. That's a good reminder Im long past my poopsocking days I guess. Unless there's some clever new strat I'm missing. Are they stacking +exp or greed gem builds for exp?

Cause not every item type only has 5 legendaries? If I want an ancient Suwong, I have 1/12 chance to roll one. And that's assuming all the legendaries have the same odds, which they don't since afaik the upgrade uses the same weight as normal legendaries, so the rare ones take more conversion to even get in the first place. Plus nothing prevents you from doing both either, it's not like you have to pick one, you're getting forgotten souls while getting DBs, so you just reroll whenever you have enough, and otherwise upgrade.

With your fetish Doc or the Ara one?
Carn..... I use ara for speed. With my build i can actually remove everything from the bars and just run in t8. Other than the weapon and off hand none of the gear is ancient for ara. If ancient t10 easy no casting or exploding the chicken on anything other than maybe the elites. Just enchant locust swam dmg, cube wormwood and watch the barbs try to keep up.
