    posted a message on HOTS event with D3 reward

    @ Bagstone.


    I posted a few tips on the AU/NZ D3 forums here (just disregard the ANZ forum one if you're not from down under):


    https://us.battle.net/forums/en/d3/topic/20755566248#post-7


    Also look up Genji Runs Tips... if Overwatch players can get their heads around HOTS, D3 players sure can as well.


    As for Azmodan, I think you'll find that he'll be a good choice. Don't worry about the heal. Assemble a laser build as Seriious09 says as after you fire the laser (which requires you getting in defenses attack range) you can step backwards whilst still firing to get out of their range. You could also get your team mates that are tanks to walk ahead and take the hits whilst you set up.

    posted a message on HOTS event with D3 reward

    Well finally! After all the events in Heroes of the Storm that grant rewards for WoW and OW, D3 finally gets something. Here are the details...


    It’s a simple task: Play 15 Games with friend in VS AI, QM, Ranked, and Unranked Draft as Heroes from the Diablo Universe. Once the bargain
    is struck and the task is complete, you’ll receive the following rewards:
    • Heroes of the Storm Rewards: Leoric’s Phantom, 1x Epic Loot Chest
    • Diablo III PC Rewards: Ghost Kerrigan Wings
    • The event begins during the week of June 13, and lasts until June 26*
    *Exact start and end dates may vary slightly by region.

    http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20811888/malthael’s-bargain-6-5-2017


    As someone who plays HOTS quite a bit, it's a pretty easy task for a pretty cool pair of wings.

    Waste of time. You might be able to wear the set at lvl1 but will you be able to select the skills needed for your build/complimentary with the set?


    It also takes 15min or so to get a powerlevel to 70. If solo, just make sure you have a leveling weapon with gem of ease, Leoric's Signet, Hellfire Ring, and leoric's crown with max level ruby.

    posted a message on Be Aware: Bug reports about Armory eating gems

    Yep, keep all leg gems out of what you save into the armoury.


    At this point, I'm really wishing they had made the armoury store items instead of thinking on my behalf with how items are to be moved around.

    Yeah, the event with the portal and having Kanai run around with you is active now. But there's no chest with the Kanai's Skorn white transmog item.

    posted a message on Wyrdward + Manald Heal

    Wyrdward's affix is similar to Paralysis but it's not Paralysis so it does not work.


    Besides, Wizards require too many rings as it is already.

    posted a message on Help for old level 70
    Quote from bancaromana»

    Thanks for the replies. I am not so much looking for a gear or skills guide relevant to the Crusader, but rather a general game guide, ie where to go and what to do. I have looked but most of the "guides" I have found assume a great knowledge of the game and do not explain their references at all, they assume you already know, which is a bit of a chicken and egg because if I knew then I'd probably not be reading those guides.


    I'm guessing you're done with the campaign and are looking for what to do with your level 70 character now. Diablo 3's end game is all about gearing up a powerful character to tackle higher difficulties which is why people tend to post build guides. What you do to get there depends on what you need to do next as far as gear is concerned. Activities boil down to (and all of these are done in Adventure Mode) the 3 activities listed by Solmyr77 plus uber battles. Here's a slightly outdated guide from Gamespot:

    http://www.gamespot.com/articles/diablo-3-reaper-of-souls-what-to-do-after-you-reach-level-70/1100-6418820/

    You can also go on the hunt for cosmetic items. Here's a few links to help:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aDBXQBd9OyOpf51AD6jInIWolidty_d6k8BWJZC1uAo/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true#

    But as others have said, your main focus should be gearing up a high difficulty viable build first and for that, you're best to get a six piece class set first. Easiest way is to participate in seasons which will grant you a free full set once you've done the first 4 chapters of the seasonal journey. Here's a guide to seasons to get you started:

    Next season starts on 6th Jan 5pm PST.

    posted a message on Season 9 Inicial Rush Guide (Questions and Tips)
    Quote from Bagstone»

    Last season one group member bailed on us a few hours before season start, and then we didn't find any decent loot in the first ~15 hours, so our insane planning was all for nothing. Lesson learned: have fun and pray to the RNG gods.

    Very good reply from Bagstone but the above two sentences is what stood out for me the most based on my experience.
    Life will get in the way of gaming and some Day 1s you'll have a good run and others, things don't go as planned.
    In S5, my group stuffed up the Day 1 process, S6 ran better with a player getting us Leorics via SK and me finding a decent Seismic Slam bracer (which obviously scales with damage as I upgraded weapons) but no one else got good leveling weapons so I was left carrying the team (had to waste a lot of mats crafting leveling weapons as well). S7 my drops weren't brilliant and I ran the run to the SK but overall, the group got some good drops and we all managed to craft a leveling weapon after half a dozne tries so that was the best Day 1 I had.
    I usually have someone who needs to bail simply because my clan has a lot of parents and they do need to tend to their kids. I'll continue the leveling and carry them for that last 20lvls they have when they get back. I've learnt a bit about family this season having to miss out on Day 1 S8 to tend to my mum who going through chemo and have appreciated getting back the powerlevels I've given out.
    Whilst it can be extremely satisfying to run the perfect day 1 and blitz ahead on the charts, it's definitely more enjoyable just to focus on what you can control (namely adapting to RNG) and just enjoy what comes your way.

    like requiring low grift runs to level up gems or running a rift solely for the grift key at the end.

    Really wish that they'd grant something like 20 upgrades if you do a GR that's 40 levels above the gem you're trying to upgrade.
