It won't be the official RR guild, but I'm in a small-ish guild with a couple of buddies and can open it up to everyone else if you guys want? We only have 6 or so tabs right now, but /shrug. Let me know. @grumblecake

Just made it to Cruel after ripping at lvl 22 in chamber of sins lvl 3 last night on my first go. Had a perandus ring on my first char and my god what a difference it made. At 22 on my first char I ripped with 125 wisdom scrolls barely into act 2 (got the ring off hailrake). 2nd char can't get above 20 wisdoms and now i'm in cruel...

Have taken down 2 of the big portal bosses so far. Traded for a Reaper's Pursuit while I was in A3, things going well so far.

125% Softcore - 150% Hardcore is the consensus.

Beyond league is stupid overtuned right now so going all in on defense is probably a good idea. A Top 10 ladder guy ripped to a fucking ice nova chest in maps. lol..
He had 20 percent cold resist I believe. All the guys that played the sc league last season said it was common knowledge that ice noca on chest was super dangerous... He just didn't know lol.

Yeah I'm unguilded, couldn't ever find anyone that could do a guild invite when the RR guild got going a long time ago. Whoever gets something started, let us know. I've got a lot of RR people on my friends list from giving out tons of items a while back, but I'd definitely rather be able to just ditch them all into a guild bank.

Krassus got me into the RR guild, some of the officers are playing. Hopefully we can get this sorted out.

You need stuff like that in a game like this.

Everyone remembers Burning Souls shooting death lightning from Diablo 2 Act 5, it adds something to the game.

Even with 75% cold resist those nova chests are death, if it doesnt kill you it freezes your ass. Just fucking forget about it if it has a +level to chest mod and ice nova.

Doing a ice nova/FP templar and really enjoying it so far. Really getting sick of the Reddit clan so it would be nice to joke around with you assholes while youre still playing.

Nylab is the account name if you catch me before I find you. Vitality is the only person ive seen online and he ignored me. I have some points to use for the guild as well.

Herald of ash is kind of awesome (personal sustained buff, 25% reserved baseline, level 1 is adds +15% physical damage as fire to your attacks, when you overkill a mob, it explodes for 100% of the overkill damage as an ignite dot to enemies in the area).
Such a good patch so far. Strongboxes rule.
yeah, the heralds are interesting. going to be staples in alot of builds.

Ash is 15% of physical as you say, +explosion burning aoe on kill.
Attacks only. Good for physical attack builds.

Ice is a flat value increase to spells AND attacks. +explosion flat value ice damage on kill.
Good for spells very much. And possibly elemental attack builds. not good for physical attack builds.




Doing softcore like a chump. died more then I care to admit, with the dw ranger "rogue".
Flicker strike might be bugged I think. I swear it's not consuming the frenzy charge consistently. FS+multistrike. Using poachers mark for frenzy charges. and it itself is a bit "meh" imho. The mana on hit is the most valuable aspect so far..


got both spell echo AND multistrike as random drops before level 25 in this league. that was nice.



Masters are neat. A little buggy. Amusing in that they are an idea stolen from D3. and made better. (random spawn zone quests, and crafters that join your camp.)

I do like the new Merveil fight. It's not mind-numbingly boring like it used to be. It's definitely a lot more fun and challenging, on par with the Vaal/Piety/Dominus encounters now, like an end of Act boss should be.

A tip from my experience. When you invite a master to your hideout, you get their special crafting station. If you dismiss the master later, you still get to keep their crafting station. So, what you want to do is invite all 6 (7 at endgame) masters to your hideout at least once to get all of their crafting stations, then dismiss them to make room for your permanent masters. Because dismissing a master makes them lose all of their exp of their current level, you want to cycle all of the masters through your hideout as early as possible to get all of their stations, since losing some exp when they are very low level is mostly irrelevant.

I do not know if their crafting stations level up when the masters level if they aren't currently residing in your hideout, but even at the basic levels, each station has quite a few useful recipes.

Masters crafting stations seem so awesome. Also to anyone wanting a quick an easy self found leveling build (to around 40+) pick marauder and go molten strike + added fire damage + herald of ash (all quest rewards) then pick up all defensive (%life and armor) nodes as you level working your way towards the Arsonist cluster in the lower left. Just ignore DPS nodes besides the Arsonist cluster. Once you get that go ahead and take BM and just laugh as you murder everything.

Make sure to pick up the highest armors/life resist/resists are you find them. Choose whatever 1 or 2 hander that increases your Molten Strike tool tip dps the most.

Apparently there's a unique map that gives +1000% additional xp gained as a modifier.

Also, a decent way of farming Master/Corrupted zones is to time the loading screen differential:

""The following tutorial will assume you're using docks, numbers can change for other zones.

1.Load into the zone, then leave, the first load can take longer.

2.Create a new instance, timing how long it takes to load.

3.Leave and create a third instance, timing it too. If it's 1.5 times as long to load as the second instance then it has a master, if it's 2/3rds the time to load the second instance had a master, 2 or 1/2 is the same for corrupted zones.

4.Rinse and repeat."" - Reddit
