Diablo at Gamescom & 20th Anniversary

Blizzard released an interview with senior game designer Wyatt Cheng about Diablo at Gamescom and its 20th anniversary. He talks about what Gamescom will have related to Diablo, the ongoing support of old games and the content added to Reaper of Souls.

Unfortunately there seemed to be no hints about any big reveals coming this weekend. Watch it below!

Graw The Herald Problem

Some users are reporting that the new unique Stinging Winds monster, Graw the Herald, is not spawning on consoles. He's responsible for dropping the white Harvest item, also known as the Fallen Pennant. Nevalistis replied saying that their team is investigating the issue.

Just popping in to say we have seen this and passed it on to our Quality Assurance for thorough investigation. We don't have any details to share just yet, but as soon as we have an update, we'll let you know!

Season 7 by TeamBRG - Leveling, Fresh 70, GR20 & More

BRGPrincess made an awesome thread on our forum sharing a few very interesting guides.

The basic guides are very similar to what we've been featuring recently, but worth noting in this particular thread is their thoughts on Build progression for each class, which Set Dungeons to master and which to avoid, along with some tips for the Thrill conquest as well. Check it out!

Season 7 General Thoughts and FAQ

What's the best class? Raiment is probably the best class this season.

Best builds for each class in S7?

• Barb: Raekor > Might of the Earth > Wastes > IK is not really counted.
• DH: FoK (tryharding) > UE for 99% of your in-game time > All others are equally "not as good as UE"
• Monk: Raiment > Uliana > Sunwuko >= Inna-based variants
• Wiz : I'm not the most up to date... TRE > Firebird? > Vyr~Delsere
• Crus : LoN / Invoker Thorns > Other Thorns > Lights > Noland > Akkhan doesn't count.
• WD: re-calculating... Emptiness hotfix

What set dungeon should I master for conquest? These are just our findings. Of course, it all boils down to your preference and playstyle. But this should serve as a good starting point if you're lost.

• Barb: Immortal King > MotE (avoid Wastes)
• Crus: Invoker > Lights (avoid Roland)
• DH: All are easy but Natalya's is the easiest! (some people though hate UE)
• Monk: Sunwuko > Inna (avoid Raiment)
• WD: Zunimassa >= Arachyr (avoid Helltooth)
• Wiz: Tal Rasha (yey!) > Firebird (avoid Delsere)

For a complete list, see our Set Dungeon builds and guides.

WD Builds & Guides Compilation by J_Macc

We recently highlighted some Monk content, so now let's move on to WDs now! J_Macc has put together an incredible compendium of builds on our forums. He's got everything covered, from a starter 6-piece build, solo Greater Rift pushing and Torment farming, as well as a viable group spec.

He has also put together a quick video talking about this initiative and giving the playstyle and gear basics on each build. Definitely check it out!

2.4.2 Witch Doctor "Meta" Build Guide

***Update*** It seems that they've put a hotfix in that Ring of Emptiness now DOES NOT apply to the damage of your pets. I'll be updating the guides accordingly.

Hey everybody!

Just like the previous 2 seasons, here is the Witch Doctor "Meta" build guide. I think it's nice to have all the top builds in one place for a reference, then you can just bookmark the page.

Within the next couple of days I'll be working on fleshing out the written guides as well as uploading videos.

Soul Reaver & Jade Harvester WD Guides

If you rolled a Witch Doctor, chances are you got frustrated with the nerf to the interaction between Ring of Emptiness and your Helltooth pets. So today we would like to highlight a couple builds that use the Jade Harvester set - which people might have finished farming by now.

They're all variations of the same base concept, tweaked for different purposes. The first is meant for pushing Greater Rifts, by Schandler17; the second is tuned towards speed farming higher Torments, by HyperionD4; and the last one is a neat video guide by Rhykker. Check them out!

Quin's GR 100+ R6 Generator Monk

We recently featured a build and video guide by Quin on a Monk spec that could quickly farm higher Torment difficulties. Today we would like to highlight a Greater Rift pushing build, for those who are also getting to this point in Season 7. Check out the written and video guides below!

Hey boyz!

In my opinion/experience this build is currently the strongest possible monk setup for pushing the highest SOLO GR on a monk!

This build is trash for T10-13 Speed farming, for a speed build check: http://www.diablofans.com/builds/82237-ltk-monk-t11-13-speed

Please note: I always keep my diablo fans guides up to date and will be making adjustments to the guide whenever there is a shift in meta! so be sure to check back, and vote on the guide!

Basic game-play strategy:

• Dash every 4-6 seconds for the R6 Damage buff
• Cyclone every 5 seconds for 50% damage reduction (Pull monsters to templars Oculus Ring circles)
• Use Breath of Heaven on cooldown (when in combat)
• Use Epiphany on cooldown vs any dangerous monsters (almost everything)
• Hold down Crippling Wave

Important tips:

• You want to have +Max Spirit (secondary) on both weapons & paragon!
• You want to have secondary resist everywhere possible, or else your Harmony won't do anything!
• This build is very squishy, and you need to dodge almost every avoidable "BIG" hit.

Skill variations:

• Dashing Strike - Radiance (for slightly more dmg output but HUGE eHP loss)
• Inner Sanctuary - Temple of Protection (replace MoS - Need heavy CDR, Good for Epiphany downtime)
• WoHF - Fists of Fury (replace Mangle - Holy damage setup, Slightly worse IMO)
