I forgot how super slow you run with 0 paragon and a non 70 character. Mats-wise, bounties are a good idea for leveling. But are rifts actually faster? Anyone know? Obviously powerleveling is actually faster, but I'm leveling properly at the moment and am curious.
edit: I'm also curious if doing the proper act to get the bonus is faster than just doing act 1 all the time since the other act's bounties kind of suck.
So I've got all the monk sets at this point, and most of the supporting items necessary for the new Uliana's build, but still critically missing the Flow of Eternity to cube. Also missing Shen Long right hand if I wanted to try a generator build.
I've been using Raiment in the meanwhile to fill the gap, and while Dashing Strike hits for 1-1.5b, it's just not enough to comfortably get past T7 or so.
Frustrating to be so close but so far.
My seasonal monk seems to be frustratingly unable to get a second piece of *any* monk set.
Have one piece Uliana's, one piece dashing strike set, one piece of the monkey king set... but can't seem to get a second piece of anything other than that godawful Blackthorne's set.
Did get the seasonal fist weapon though, and that has been pretty nice even with no Uliana set bonuses. Just give me the next fucking piece already!!

i think rifts are the fastest way to level. now that you dont need keys it is the best way.

I'm going to get a character to 70 for that HOTS mount, but after getting a monk and witch doctor to 10 I can't decide which to stick with for the long haul. Is there a general consensus on which of those 2 is better/more fun to play in the long run? Considering I've gotten a wizard to 60 in vanilla D3, and a crusader to 70, which will give me the freshest experience?
Is there any secret to getting Skeleton King to kill his own minions? I spent 20 minutes getting to 4/15, then I gave up on it. It just seems he does no damage at all to them most of the time.

All the guide I read say do specific act 1 bounties (and only certain ones, the fastest ones, you never do all 5) and reset continuously. Basically because the AI and mobs you fight in act 1 are super predictable, few in type, and not really annoying in any way.
Our group got bored of this and wanted to do rifts, and things slowed dramatically. Even when we breaked to go get our helm for ruby boost. At points we had to cut difficulty down and I dont think act 1 would have done that to us.
edit: whoops was this for paragon level? I meant for 0-70.

Increased survivability is basically going to be a function of "more paragon levels" and "more damage so nothing lives long enough to hurt me", yeah? Other than a hat without vit/+life gem, I'm doing okay on the toughness.

This season has been very generous to my new WD. I have the entire acid cloud/zombie bear gear set except a furnace (cube) and a hellfire. I'm already doing gr43 with plenty of time using the acid cloud build, but I get damn near instagibbed so I'm hesitant to go further. I think leveling my wildebeest gizzard and switching it out for my bane of the powerful and then switching to bears might push me into mid/high-50s. I much prefer acid cloud, but hey, them's the breaks.
I also really want in-geom and thing of the deep for the t10 firewall rift build, but I've had no luck so far.
I'm super happy with WD this season.
I haven't kept up on most other classes. Is Crusader really doing poorly? Is it at least fun? What about DH? I thought about dabbling in them briefly when I need a break from my WD.

Looks like Tal's 4 piece is a hefty elemental DR buff though, so I suspect that'll help, and as my damage output rises, there's just less chance to damage me in the first place.

I've been playing my DH without really taking a look at guides or builds or anything, just going with whatever drops. Found some legendary quiver and didn't even read the orange text until like 3 hours later (oh, multishot hits twice, that's pretty neat), then just now found a Yang's Recurve. C-c-combo! Also bye-bye my hatred-woes, love the resource cost reduction (48% on my bow, not bad).

I used to think reflect damage was a joke. Now that I'm putting out the obscene numbers that I am, though, I have been one shotting myself quite a bit. If there's even one reflect damage monster in a pack, I die. Its really, really annoying as well as poorly implemented. If the monsters are out sync in regards to when they have reflect damage up the pack takes an age to deal with.
Heh, that new barb sword dropped on my pretty fresh season gal, and as I'm still running in mostly yellows the cubed effect does make a big difference with a 2h:er. It turns Cleave into a spender-sized dmg dealer, and a damn good one at that! (Whirlwind crits for 800k-1.2mil, 0rage Cleaves critting 5mil-7.5mil!)
I'm pretty convinced this thing will be a total non-issue later on, but for now I'm enoying it while I can

Generally the game favors speed-farming so much that survivability is rarely a priority. You want to be moving as fast as possible and gibbing elite packs in a few seconds, so your survivability is only a real concern if you're dying instantaneously yourself. Of course it's different if you want to run high GRift levels, but even that is much more about epeen than it is about getting gear.

Yeah, once I get into a pack, I'm generally fine, at least for now, but things like horde/plagued/arcane can drop a lot of surprise damage under you real fast, and there's always those ranged jerks that run on screen and shoot you suddenly. I can just see it becoming a problem as I go, since my HP will wobble fairly heavily before I get the Dominance shields running as I go between packs.
By the way if anybody doesn't know about the Death's Breath craftable set, craft that shit right now. The Sage's ____ set gives you +1 to Death's Breath drops which makes it basically the best set in the game now.

I recently swapped to this exact setup myself. Jumped from T6 to T10 instantly. Very powerful and effective. Also satisfying to play just obliterating everything with a fully automatic shotgun.

Dude, don't use disintegrate, use Arcanot Familiar. Passively trigger arcane meteors *and* boost your AP regen in a single skill.
...at least until you get the full Tal's set, Familiar will trigger meteors but it won't trigger the damage bonus of the 6pcs bonus. On the other hand, if you manage to land an Aether Walker, you can use the Calamity Rune on Teleport as your arcane spell, and you don't even need to hit anything to get the damage stack.
Also, that Ring is very nice, and I while I'm using Focus + Restraint atm, I do have a socketed Convention of the Elements that would go perfectly with Halo if/when I ever see it drop.
Q: Hey guys! First off all, I would like to say a big thank you to all of you guys at the dev office. The patch is freaking awesome and I love it! My question would be the next: With so many newer and stronger class sets, some of the old class sets (e.g. Firebird's Finery, Jade Harvester) became extremely weak. Are there any plans to rework these sets in the near future? (possible 2.4?) I really like Firebird Wizard, but it is just so underwhelming right now... Thanks for answering, and keep rocking! Edit: Typo
A: Yes, 100%, absolutely. Internally, we have already updated, revamped, or redesigned completely many of the 6pc sets that are currently not seeing use. The ones that are already done include Shadow's Mantle, Might of the Earth, Jade Harvester, Firebird's, Akkhan's, Invoker's, and Marauder's. Sunwuko and Inna's is being worked on. The goal is to bring all of these sets up to the power level of the current top 2.3 sets/builds.
You all will see these updates in the near future in patch 2.4.
(bold emphasis mine)
AYYYY Based John Yang! The god.
My 2nd favorite:
Q: Certain builds require keeping an eye on your buffs to maximize your damage (for example Tal'Rasha, Taeguk, Convention of Elements). However, when playing in a party, these buffs can disappear once you get more than 8 buffs. Is it possible to allow players to choose which buffs they always want to see, so these buffs are easier to track?
A: The inability to see important buffs that affect your moment-to-moment gameplay is something we want to address.
We have been avoiding simply adding more buffs because having a large number of buffs on the screen is not only visually unappealing, but it can be just as frustrating to locate the buff that you care about in a sea of buffs. I view buffs broadly in 3 categories.
Category 1: "Always On" buffs. Really obvious ones are the Multiplayer buff, or when there is a Community event in place. These buffs are great to know, but they take up one of your precious buff slots. Monk Mantras are a slightly less "always" version of this. If I'm in a party with a monk wearing Inna's, suddenly all players in the party have half of their buff slots tied up.
Category 2: "Reassuring buffs". These are buffs that you want to know they are on you, but they don't affect your moment to moment gameplay. A good example of this would be Storm armor on the Wizard, or Frenzy stacks on a Barbarian. Many times you want to know the skill is working correctly, but you aren't checking on the buff in the heat of combat
Category 3: "Moment-to-moment buffs". These are the buffs that actually affect you moment-to-moment and are usually the source of complaints. Focus and Restraint are a great example here.
Overall our goal is to find alternate ways to communicate Category 1 and Category 2 buffs so that Category 3 buffs can take center stage on the buff bar.
We don't have anything to share at this time, but I assure you that with the introduction of all the extra powers players have from Kanai's Cube, combined with new legendary items that make you powerful but require some degree of buff tracking (vyr's / chantodo's comes to mind) the desire to address this is greater than ever.
Edit: My 3rd favorite :rotate: :
Q: Hi Diablo 3 team. Are you planning on answering any questions today or are we being trolled?
A: Yes
Edit Again: Shadow's Mantle details!!!!!
The Shadow's Mantle set is the redesign that I'm the most excited about for 2.4 so far. The idea of a melee-weapon oriented build that doesn't involve bows/xbows has always been in the back of my mind. Here's what it currently looks like:
2pc While equipped with a melee weapon, all damage is increased by 1000%.
4pc Shadow Power gains all runes and lasts forever.
6pc Impale deals 30000% weapon damage to the first enemy it hits.
The idea is that the set is extremely strong on single-target damage, but weak on AoE. To help with that, a new dagger will have the power "Every second, the damage of your next Fan of Knives is increased by 250-300%." To help with movement, a pair of bracers has the power "After using Impale, Vault costs no resource for 2 seconds." That item will allow you to Vault into position to Impale the high-value targets.
Additionally, we're also allowing Demon Hunters to use melee weapons with quivers because the fantasy of this quick-moving assassin build is about speed, not walking around with a shield
Keep in mind, not final, could change, but that sounds pretty cool!

edit: I'm also curious if doing the proper act to get the bonus is faster than just doing act 1 all the time since the other act's bounties kind of suck.
My seasonal monk seems to be frustratingly unable to get a second piece of *any* monk set.
Have one piece Uliana's, one piece dashing strike set, one piece of the monkey king set... but can't seem to get a second piece of anything other than that godawful Blackthorne's set.
Did get the seasonal fist weapon though, and that has been pretty nice even with no Uliana set bonuses. Just give me the next fucking piece already!!

Yeah, once I get into a pack, I'm generally fine, at least for now, but things like horde/plagued/arcane can drop a lot of surprise damage under you real fast, and there's always those ranged jerks that run on screen and shoot you suddenly. I can just see it becoming a problem as I go, since my HP will wobble fairly heavily before I get the Dominance shields running as I go between packs.
If you pair it with the Unhallowed Essence set you'll have a stew going

I recently swapped to this exact setup myself. Jumped from T6 to T10 instantly. Very powerful and effective. Also satisfying to play just obliterating everything with a fully automatic shotgun.
Dude, don't use disintegrate, use Arcanot Familiar. Passively trigger arcane meteors *and* boost your AP regen in a single skill.
...at least until you get the full Tal's set, Familiar will trigger meteors but it won't trigger the damage bonus of the 6pcs bonus. On the other hand, if you manage to land an Aether Walker, you can use the Calamity Rune on Teleport as your arcane spell, and you don't even need to hit anything to get the damage stack.
Also, that Ring is very nice, and I while I'm using Focus + Restraint atm, I do have a socketed Convention of the Elements that would go perfectly with Halo if/when I ever see it drop.
With all the questions/answers in one convenient place! GASP.
