Those are some changes I can get behind.

Love those changes. They echo what I've been hoping for for a while.

 

[Majes]

That actually sounds worse to me... If the original intention was to provide a longer item hunt won't this effectively provide an end to the item hunt? Or am I missing something...?

 

[sweenish]

I feel like you're only partially missing something. A Primal may provide max stats, but you:
a) still have to find at least 13 of them,
b) neet to get all 13 to have at least n-1 ideal rolls,
c) have to even find them. They're gated beyond a solo 70 clear and will be even rarer drops.

So while it technically can end the item hunt, I feel like there's enough room in there to not matter that much.

If anything, it will remove one element of RNG at the high end of the leaderboards, leaving fishing and actual skill. It may even encourage those players to get more creative with their builds.

Thanks for breaking it down like that. I'm not sure it's any better than the previous version but at least you made it make sense!

If people are still in need of finishing up the Season Journey or loot share runs, let me know. I can run Torment 10 - 13 depending on the class.

 

[Ertaz]

So, should I buy a 32 core processor to compensate for when somebody runs pain enhancer in group?

Season ending announced, new season starts at the end of March.

I got my tab this season, and that's good. During the summer I think I'll have time to get my final, pre-Necro tab. Messing around in HC right now, working on my UE grenade DH. Only one ancient item (belt) and still missing an ideal second 1H crossbow, cleared a 60. Won't try to go any further until my legendary gems are a bit better (most were ~30) and have at least one ancient weapon. UE grenades are nice and fun.

Probably roll another DH in Season 10. Looks like they're getting Marauders. The Conquests look a pain, but I only need two for the tab. Probably gems to 65 and six sets completing 55, using monk as the second class. Inna, Sunwuko, and raiment have a fairly easy time hitting 55. At least then I can hopefully share common jewelry and a couple other items.

EDIT: Hit rank 604 on DH NS HC boards with a 66. Wouldn't be on seasonal, need to clear a 70. There really aren't a lot of people on HC, it would seem. I would also never play a seasonal HC, I'm strapped for time as it is trying to get the stash tab on SC.

 

[pandemonium]

Well, well, well. It's about time D3 got a DX11 SLI profile.

 

[Jaydip]

So how are you guys doing? was able to do a 92 solo on my fb wiz, probably would be able to do a bit higher if I didn't have to spend time on light wiz as well. S10 looks interesting to me, the qol changes are good and hopefully more classes will become viable in the meta.

 

[4eigner]

Supposedly, Hydra Manald Heal Wiz and Impale DH might be a replacement for Gen Monk in 4man, if you like pushing greater rifts 110+. Definitely nice to see the QoL, especially Armory.

 

[sweenish]

Got my first primal ancient, a Lord Greenstone's Fan. Would have been more exciting if it was a Karlei's or something for my M6/UE grenade.

But still pretty cool.

Anyone playing actively on Xbox one?

Console forum might be the better place to ask.

I've debated getting a copy if/when I get a current gen console just for couch co-op.

 

[CalebRockeT]

Anyone playing actively on Xbox one?

Yes but only some two player local gameplay with a buddy. I've never played public games on Xbox. A friend of mine did and said the people in the first game he joined were doing GR~150ish in 3-5 minutes, and they were only paragon level 1000ish, so something very strange was going on there. He said he gained hundreds of paragon levels per run and left their game after he got to paragon level 700ish. A different friend said he got to paragon level ~4500 from playing public games. He ended up starting over because he wasn't pleased with his gameplay experience after the accumulation of thousands of illegitimate paragon levels.

 

[pandemonium]

Last I knew was that consoles were overrun with hacks and exploits. I thought I remember hearing they were fixing that, but I honestly don't have any connection to the console side of this game (in general, actually).

Cheating on that level of magnitude will ruin any game.

 

[Pens1566]

Ugh. Thx.

Asked here because there didn't seem to be any one place on console forum for the game.

I started with vanilla back at release. Got bored/jaded with the experience as many did and dropped it entirely. Went to Xbox one version about a month or so back on a $20 version including RoS. Got a wizard up to ~PL 300 in sporadic play. Maybe I'll jump back on PC version since there's more folks around.

 

[nakedfrog]

Yeah, I'm a console player, but I don't/won't play public games, strictly friends (who are people I actually know IRL).
But the update to Holy Point Shot has been a game-changer for my Shadow DH, I was struggling to get higher than GR60, but with the Holy Point Shot, I waltzed through 60, and even 65 was pretty cake. Might finally hit 70 and be able to start seeing primals.

 

[Ertaz]

Gen monk is a great build, but so glassy. I really need a SOE and COE to run it.

 

[sweenish]

Inna or Raiment? In either case, I still agree. Inna is at least tankier, which I appreciate.

Here I am, still trying to get the last two pieces of my set. But I am very time constrained right now.

Raiment. I have the Innas gear, perhaps I should switch to that..

 

[sweenish]

I know I don't have the skill for Raiment gen. I run right into baddies that are swinging/shooting at me way too often. When I did my Inna gen last season, I still died a ton getting my 70 clear. That speaks to the power of the generator builds, for sure.

I've never tried Raiment gen since it's even squishier, and I haven't wanted to keep up with any of Wiz meta either due to the precise timing they need.

 

[Muscles]

I just started playing season 10 and I'm getting to a point where I can get my Barbarians solo 70 clear too. Still missing some key pieces of gear. If anyone wants to do some fast rifts with loot share I'll be on most nights. GN: vorador

Those are precisely my experiences. I suppose hammerdin is the single player meta for us slow reflex people. I still need a couple pieces for this monk that I'm determined to make work...
