was leveling my second character in Season 5, just to take breas from main. Imagine my horror when I realized that the free set is for the first season character that claims the gift from the mail! Anyway, I had various decent legendaries and since both characters (wiz main, WD alt) use the same primary stats, gearing for some runs was not THAT bad. How would you go for the sets thought? The same old 'farm torment <n>', or did the community find another way to do it? (note: lost all 2.3 patch)
If you're in a group with a really strong character that can basically roflstomp T10 alone (any class can do that if well-geared) and the other players are fine with it, you might just craft Sage's set, equip random other gear to have some toughness and follow the others. Of course that only works with friends/clan mates, and only if they really don't care about "pulling someone" (i.e., they're that strong that for them it doesn't matter if they're soloing T10 or playing in a 2p group). Of course you should pay back if possible when they want to do the same, or offer them drops.
If that's not possible, what I did last season on HC (maining monk, wanted to gear up barb) was playing on the main character and gambling set pieces on the other. Once you have the set complete and some basic jewelry (especially rings you can just take from another character, forget about the main stat) you craft a weapon in the cube and then farm on lower Torment levels. That way it took me about one day to gear up a barb from scratch to be T8 ready (on HC, so on SC I could've probably done T10).
And of course the fastest way is loot sharing: try to find friends that play the class you want to gear up, and best case they want your gear (everyone needs a second class if they want to do two of the conquests). Loot sharing is a really fast way to gear up, and there are communities for every class that let you do that.
Good advice from the community. I would personally avoid Rolar83's advice, not because it is wrong, but because Deaths Breath are too valuable in my opinion.
You're best bet is leeching in TX, if possible with the 'seeder' being the same class as you. This opens you up to general gear in the rift, blood shards from the clears and also the 'junk' from the seeder.
I'm playing DH this season, aiming to roll Wiz as my second once I'm para 800+. I play EU, if you do too i'm more than willing to run some TX for you to help gear up. A friend I play with is Wiz so if they're on they'll be able to loot share too.
serious, u wont receive the free set on second character?
i rolled a WD thinking its good, but now i am disappointed with it, i was thinking to go DH/Crusader, but now... :/
better farm more death breaths then to do what the guy said here
WD is very very strong, might not be the top individual class,but they are around 3rd in raw power, and they have an absolute place in the 4 man meta due to their strong support.

Seeing your gear, if GR 37 is your limit then it's purely a player issue.
To be frank, you're bad at the class, which is to be expected since it's probably your first time playing it.
Read up on your skills, really understand the skills isntead of just copying a build online.
Go to icyveins for detailed explanation of builds and playstyle.
well, probably this is it lol..
first time ever playing a WD..
just played a Barb (at classic D3) and a monk on RoS (S4)

You have the gear to do GR 45-50 with relative ease, so my advice would simply be to keep 10 stacks of Soul Harvest up at all times. That is 100% armor, a bunch of mana, and 60% damage reduction.
Also, make sure you are applying both Haunt and and Locust Swarm. you have the right rune for Haunt, but I like to use Pestilence with Locust Swarm, as this will help it spread faster meaning you using that mana less.
Lastly, let your fetish sycophants tank for you, try to avoid being hit by melee attacks that you can easily redirect toward your pets.
Also, I am UBER JEALOUS that you have an ancient sacred harvestor and Lakumba, those are the last two Ancient pieces I am trying to get for my Legacy of Nightmares set.
forgot to mention, the gear u guys saw, it was already after i did some public grs (40, 45 50 and 55).. before i didnt had the soul harvester (it dropped in one of the pubs gr i did)..
i did some changes now to gear.
swapped the blue gem and put the purpuple one full upgrade (23% life), also the soul harvester i did found wasnt socketed, and i didnt had a consumable, so i had to reroll a non usefull stat to put the socket, now that the consumable dropped, rerolled it (10% dmg) and put the socket through the consumable..
did solo gr 52, 9m17s, altough a little rough run (not died btw)

Hello all,

Why are you disappointed with a WD?
I've a clan that helps each other so there's that. I'm running support sader while leeching XD, gearing him up in the process.
any advices for me?
its even hard to solo gr 37
