I'm basically just doing whacky shit for fun now. Going to try that affix that gives you aoe damage based on your life per second stat.

Hey draegan I'll be around tomorrow morning and I have a couple of sets of uber portals ready to go, have a couple extra a2 as well if you want to get the other 3 acts we can use those too. I also have about a dozen puzzle rings I need to get rid of so we can do a vault in between each set also.

Those doing the higher season journey levels: what conquest is best to target first? And if I have a character that does T8 readily, is a conquest achievable?

The easiest to complete is probably completing a lvl 60 grift, its not that difficult in a party, but only being able to farm t8 means you'll need ppl carrying you.

Completed the season journey a few days ago and it was nice having a goal to shoot for. Was trying to complete a grift60 with the U6 build but couldn't make without an ancient fist. Luckily, i managed to get two decent ancient shenlongs while rolling for a Fist and switched to the new static build. I completed grift60 on my second try.

The conquests I targeted were grift 60, The thrill and Gem lvls. They are the easiest to obtain and depending on what class you are playing, there are builds up on diablofans for The Thrill. People say Monks are the easiest to achieve it on being you can use shenlongs.
Also, I was able to lvl 70 HC in a matter of an hour by joining one of the HC plvl communities.

Cool I'll try to get on.

Yeah I've done The Thrill (just slapped on a bunch of ancients from the bank) and the kill bosses in 30 minutes one (chicken WD go go go...).

Working towards the 60 grift and lvl 70 HC (need to just go get PLVLd, but up to 42 w/out, lol), just have had shit luck for ancients w/ my helltooths build and paragon is slowly compensating for that.

Fiiiiiinally got Focus to drop. Went from rough sell on 40 to easy on 45. All that's left now is to farm ancient versions of what I am wearing. Beartooth is really really easy.

Any tips on getting hellbears to work? It is noticeably slower than acid cloud. I have no problems surviving, so far.

Also, how do WDs group up mobs for efficient killing considering that their only mobility skill is not spammable and also their only get out of shit skill? I'm talking about how a barb will do it by charging through 3 screens worth of mobs to get them all activated and continually switch between them as density is killed off. I just can't seem to do this on my witch doctor. I have tried piranado but the pull isn't large enough. The seasonal mojo is OK, but with all the fetishes you have, it doesn't proc reliably enough to get mobs out of your way.

Hellbears is a channeled spell. Basically you just group stuff up, firewalls out, pop a few blazing spiders, then hold it til things die.

Piranhado's + passive talent that reduces CD by 1 second every time something dies near you. Given Bears are a face tank spell, assuming you do the damage its almost never off CD, doubly so if you use a frog in your offhand. That & the +def passive for mobs within 20 (or 40+) yards, grift 60 is probably the safest on that assuming you keep enough mobs to run around with ridiculous defensiveness. Getting to the RG is easy, but usually thats where you hope your sycophants box him in and you dodge shit.

You'll be back next season like all of us =/
At paragon 782 and hitting a wall too. It's lame that the loot hunt end-game has been replaced by an xp-grind end-game.

I'd planned to hit 800 and fish for a lucky GR to see where I could land on the leader board, but piecing together a semi reliable team that is optimized for paragon grinding seems more effort than it's worth now and pub games are just painful. Probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the arms race anyway.

At least this was a fun season to be a Barb, which is pretty much the only class I enjoy.

This season I had no desire to play any of the OP classes. Which is fine, I had no desire to chase leaderboards or anything like that and I enjoyed trying to come up with good builds for underpowered classes. I spent a lot of time with the Wizard, but the only build that works is the Archon and I hate that play style; too much spam.
