Greater Rifts are getting a facelift with monster A.I., density, etc.
Clearing a GR without dying gives an automatic extra gem up.
Some details about Challenge Rifts as well.

And nobody even mentions the free Diablo 1 remake. It's just "all we got was necromancer!"
Pathetic.
If you hate Diablo 3 so much, find another game to play. That's what I did.

I bought one. List last year. And I got a feeling that it's gonna be worth it.
And if not, at least I have the Diablo pet. HA! (Still love my Murloc portrait from from 2015, default first choice in every season.)

T13 is on live for 3 days. Torment X was around for a year or so and even there was no consensus what the "best" class was. See this competition:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/20418543014
If we believe that it's monk > crus > DH > wiz > barb > WD for Torment X.
On Torment 13 it might look similar; I personally assume that the top two might switch but the rest will probably remain the same. But for every class/build there are always players saying "my class/spec is the fastest!" - interestingly even for WD, though WD almost always was on the last spot in those kind of clearing competitions. The thing is that every class can clear high Torments really fast, and every class has multiple specs (well maybe except for the Crusader on T13). The playstyle is entirely different though and the differences in how fast you are with a class depends more on gear, understanding of the game and class mechanics, and your personal determination than the right checkbox on the character creation screen.
TL;DR: We have no clue yet which class is the fastest and anyone giving you an absolute answer to the "best T13 class" is a fool.

No one is playing with optimized coop gen monk yet. They stand to gain A LOT of dps in 4p compared to garg doc.
I'm talking about one with COE, mangle and assim, and IAS/AD with no CDR, no epiphany, no beacon. Could even be optimal in quad gen with combostrike. Something like 4-10x the edps of the solo CDR version.
I've yet to see one, it just looks promising on paper.

Well, this popped up a while ago on Reddit, and I've waited for a long time but no one cared to re-do the chart. And since there are now approximately 23 threads per minute asking those questions, I thought I'd just give it a go. So here's the somewhat updated difficulty overview:
(Click on the picture for a larger view)
Disclaimer: Many of the values are guesstimates - solid guesstimates based on lots of work, but not exact science. In GR key drop rate and some T11-T13 data, like DP drop rate, could always benefit from more data.

Just posted this on Reddit because there are multiple "what's the next meta" threads every day. But I thought I'd post this here as well. As the title says, I compare the "final meta" by the end of PTR to that by the end of the respective season.
(All of this is just from memory, so there might be small mistakes, please point out if you find any)
The correct DPS class combination was predicted two times: S1 and S6. NEVER was the correct top DPS spec publicly known by the end of PTR!
The correct support class combination was predicted three times: S2, S3, and S6. Note that those were the seasons in which the support classes stayed the same as in the previous one; NEVER was a *change* in support classes completely predicted by PTR leaderboards.
I hope this sheds some light on how utterly useless it is to look at PTR leaderboards. Also, there has literally been zero testing on high level GRs on PTR; all the top players who have the knowledge and ability to pull off even semi-accurate meta predictions that could top PTR leaderboards are *pushing on live*. So please stop asking "WHAT IS THE S7 META". You might as well ask if we're gonna have snow on Christmas and get more accurate "predictions" now.

EQ hasn't changed unless you count the new Girdle, which I don't think is viable.Quote from user_616753»
Correct.
You, too, can have lots of paragon if you play efficiently and stop pubbing. The player in question achieved that level by playing efficiently since Paragon was introduced. He's also played legit the entire time -- no bots, no THud, no third party software. And considering that the current EQ builds are weaker than Raekor (which will change dramatically next patch), this is quite an accomplishment.
What did i miss, i dont see any "dramatically" change at all for EQ and Raekor next patch ?

No it's not. For example i play monk. In 3 seasons we will have 3 builds with the 3rd one being the strongest. So, why compete with first 2, since the 3rd will place me in the leaderboards after all?
No one cares about nonseasonal players. Your completely empty leader boards are indicative of that. Blizzard sure as hell doesn't care. Why should they? There's no demand. If you're not going to sack up and go seasonal like the rest of the player base, at least don't whine about not getting what you want for a dead mode!
No one cares about haters like you. Our "completely empty" leaderboards are from people with jobs, lives and other interests, who don't have the time to farm everything from the begining. You can't force seasons on everyone.

I am baffled by the fact that you took the time to write that. Your hero doesn't fit the group meta. Is that really a big deal? How you made the mental leap between you voluntarily playing a build in a setting that makes it boring and Blizzard as a whole being incompetent, I will never know.
I've been lurking on this site since it started and I've seen a lot of pointless posts full of misdirected anger and accusations but this is one really takes the cake. I mean really, do you have deep and intimate connections with the barbarian class that warrants blanket negative generalizations of an entire company that you need to share so that I can understand the depths of your irrational rage?
It is a game. Just a game. One that has probably already yielded you more hours of entertainment per dollar spent than almost any other activity in your entire lifetime. Is there really that much to complain about, much less be enraged over?
You are free to roll a class or build that fits the current group meta, play alone and enjoy yourself, or even play a different game. Whatever you do, realize that your silly posts here or anywhere elseand won't change anything. You are just keeping yourself upset by trying to put a square peg in a round hole and then calling people names when it doesn't work. Stressing out over this and posting angry rants is literally bad for your well being. Not worth. Good luck finding emotional peace in your Diablo journey.

My friend-wiz got banned today, we did top2 eu ns 4man and top1 eu ns 3man before it, pretty unhappy now >_<
looks like russian d3 non-seasonal segment is destroyed) only few noob-wizards are alive)

30-40 hours at first days of the season, feeling pain during all of them, stupid retards are forcing non-seasonal players to play this trash

1
and what rift have you closed in 2.4 or 2.4.1 ? I've seen dozens of barbs that called this support build "easy af" and all of them were armless retards. I mean you can close smth like 104-105 in 2.4 with bad barb jus cos of wizzard's high dmg, but you can't close higher. this role makes or brakes the rifts
2
people just want to close 120+, so they need to play the most efficient group, if you don't, so play 70-80 with builds you want, what's your post for?

noob, suport barb is the hardest class in the meta now. good barbs are worth weight in gold
1
I see only envy in the first post lol. You just want to be famous in this sandbox, and you are triggered cos of Quin is much more?
Just for interest have checked barbs on eu in s4, you are not top1 lol.
Just for interest have checked wd on both eu and us in s1-5, Dark_sol isn't top100 wd.
Poor "wannabes" are playing along with each other
1
^^ will see?))) have seen mb. look at the leaderboards, 119 closed in asia with barb, barb in each group on all regions

i feel pretty bad) i was 7th monk on EU on April 15th, and the Era still going) some people with summarized seasonal and non-seasonal paragon closed higher, and now also new builds can close even higher, blizzard

noob, he told about another players' coe cycle which you can't see in huge mobs crowds
