    How active is the anandtech clan for seasons? I've started d3 up again after a year hiatus and my old clan is pretty much dead so it's been a little harder finding groups other than public. Any room?

    **OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

    I tried playing S2 with monk but I don't think I'd run seasons any more because it's hard to give up all the paragon I've accrued over time. While I don't play super heavily nowadays, I still have played quite a bit the past three years to collect a bit of gear and paragon. Just finished up...

    The Zuni 4 pc bonus is nice for now, especially since you don't have a Starmetal Kukri (SMK) to allow you to skip using that bonus. SK is probably one of the better pet weapons after SMK and Rhen'ho Flayer. A decently rolled one with high elite damage percent should be pretty decent stopgap...

    They've made a couple of changes to loot that can drop from caches. The torment level that the cache was acquired from sets the type of loot that can roll, especially when they added possibility of Torment only items dropping from the caches. First change to caches was to stop people from...

    Torment level does affect the quality and chances of drops from caches, but the actual drops are determined when they are opened. I can farm caches on my crusader or demon hunter and open them on my wizard or witch doctor and get mostly int based drops. There is still a smallish chance, I...

    I don't really use a mana spender on my pet WD. If I go solo, I'll go RoT with FS passive and just make sure I have 15 fetishes running around killing things. Keeping Pierce the Veil as a passive, it just makes casting most spenders way too expensive. I do still use Zuni 4 pc and FA...

    SMK is best in slot weapon for a pet WD, and it's really clear after you get to use one for a bit. Pets already kill solo target RG's and elites very fast due to SoJ and Aughild's, but nearly 100% uptime on BBV makes solo T6 easy because the large trash pulls also get cleared fast. Fetishes...

    Pet build is probably the easiest to get going for WD as you don't need as many specific set pieces for it to work, and you gradually increase in power as you find them. My MoJ, T&T and Zuni pieces are not too well rolled but they do allow the fetishes to deal some decent damage. I can clear...

    I'm running Mask of Jeram (no Tasker and Theo after 8k shards gambled...) and the pet build will easily get you going in low torment, and scale higher as you find additional pieces to support it. I think having both MoJ and T&T with decent dps and toughness will get you through Torment 4 solo...

    I'm the opposite, I haven't found an amazing weapon just yet. The ones on my WD and Wiz are decent, but nothing spectacular with unique abilities that I'd truly want. I do get a lot of 2handers :/

    LoH isn't the most efficient but can complement Lps to help sustain. I have a decent amount of LoH on my wizard alt's gear and it does help a little when face tanking with a channeling ability (spec'ed Ray of Frost due to Light of Grace OH)...

    I finished act V with my witch doctor last night after a marathon 4 hour session after the expansion hit in a full group. Was level 70 shortly before fighting Malthael after leveling to around 65 on T3, before dropping it to T2 for the first major boss and then down to T1 when we were all 66-67...

    My WD was already well geared prior to the patch (about 250k dps and about 500k ehp) so I haven't found many upgrades but it is interesting to have most of the rares and legends dropped be Int based. The game is visually much smoother fps wise, even when elites are spamming abilities, and it's...

    **OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

    I tried it for a little bit with my old paragon 100 WD with good gear (around 250k dps pre patch). For some reason, all of my progress was gone when I select Torment difficulty so I had to restart from Act 1. On Torment 3, I was still killing things fairly quickly, though not as fast as the...

    Only rank 20 from workiing on quests. I have a decent collection of cards as I mainly play arena and usually manage between 5-7 wins with some better runs mixed to develop my collection.
