I think a new patch is more likely, but it has to contain really ground breaking changes otherwise D3 will get stale in a matter of few weeks.

If they are going for another expansion... i hope it will be on the scale of LotV that basically changed the economy gameplay and went stand alone.

It could use the same assets but we really need to go away with main stat grind and insane set multipliers.

Yeah, he just keeps riding over his name and past legacy. I guess it's a good life, first Blizzard invites him probably for a video interview for the 20th anniversary of Diablo, now GGG (or Tencent) "hires" him as advisor just because he is David Brevik... I know he did some others games, but he kinda is a one hit wonder at this point.

A not opened chest is a lost chance for a Forgotten Soul!

I wanted to do Master of the Universe but Wastes set dungeon is retarded then i realized: "I'm an idiot, i can easily gamble two sets for another class and faceroll my way for Years of War!" And that's what i did. Piece of cake.

And i remember complains about season 2 being too short...

In my opinion this top 10 sounded whiny instead of constructive. The bunch of "really" "reasons" and other ironic words i would say because i'm a common peasant poster with mediocre writing skill but not as a quality content creator for this game.

Not that i disagree with most of your points (hi trial, hi crafting material; which i exhausted everyone of them, thanks Myriam; hi monster experience), a couple of them are just nitpicking like season items and progression globes; yeah, i think those are the two i just don't agree, or more correctly i don't care. Probably, because i'm not pushing for leaderboard and i'm just farming GR 43-45 based on my luck (which is a paradox) on trials, i can understand why stuff like pylons. which are more common now from my experience, bad elite placement, which i hate too, and unavoidable damage, which kills the player skill, are annoying and indeed a serious problem.

From my gameplay stand point i think gems are more of a problem in this game, but with no easy fix until ANOTHER itemization overhaul or the fact that builds are tied to full sets and there is basically no room for regular legendaries, minus a couple of slots, and CC-CHD uber alles. But as i said, i lack the writing skills to make a constructive discussion and i'll stop my rant here.

Back on video, you raised some good problems that should be fixed, but i'd rather hear or read a full thought on those than a list full of "why?" "really?".

Yeah, because botting for a Furnace or Paragon Exp at the start of a season doesn't help getting a rank on leaderboards. Sure, you need to play the Grift yourself, but you already got an advantage over legit players, if any are still playing for the endgame, because the botter could "play" 24/7.

But you know, if it doesn't effect you, it doesn't anyone, right?

Your best bet is indeed sending a mail to hacks@blizzard.com. From my experience, the in game report function is bloody useless, i used it for a month to report a bot and nothing happened, then i sent a mail to the address and in 24 the bot was banned and then rolled back after the ban was lifted.

So, who's the best supp for a 2 or 3 GR? im playing with a friend, and sometimes my gf, and i like to do a nice sup for them..

Friend:
WD support is good if they are lacking in damage/they have a good ammount of toughness already to servive on their own.
WW/Sol barb is an al around good build if you are running with heavy aoe that will benefit from tight grouping and provide CC immunity.
Globe Barb: if your running with a DPS that's dependant on globe pick up for power increase or has very very very low recovery but high damage (glass canons)

Girlfriend:
WW/Sol barb is an al around good build that's easy to play with and it makes it easier on the other players since you can keep everything in one place easier than other support classes allowing your party member to just stand there and damage away without a whole lot of worry of getting smacked in the face to death.

Hi everyone,

I want to share with you guys my latest run, Tier 57 - 13:20 (Rank 3 EU) on seasons. While there don't seem to be many DHs around that actually play cold and just decided to follow the fire RoV meta, I was experimenting with it a little and found that it might actually be about equally as strong, maybe even stronger at the high end. It's really interesting because back on the PTR, everyone was running cold, however after the bugfix no one played it anymore and fire was the new way to go. Cold feels a lot more smooth to play and does not depend on RNG as much as other DH builds in the past or the fire variation of Natalya, since you can clear good and bad rifts alike and should not have too much trouble with almost any rift guardian.

The night of the clear was the first time I was pushing solo in S3, I was just sitting at 54 from 2-3 keys I used a couple of days before. I was trying out different item and skill combinations and found this one to work the best for now, however it is still a work in progress, and I already have some ideas that I want to try out next time. I used about 25 keys on tier 58, 6 of which were kind of close tries at ~1-2 min overtime, so the build is working pretty well and consistently (keep in mind I have no practice with Natalya solo rifts yet). If we consider that the current R1 on nonseason has cleared 62 solo, I think cold has pretty much the same potential (let's assume +1 tier for the remaining time, Stonesinger, Unburieds, a fourth pylon, respectively, and maybe another +1-2 for less skipping, better gameplay and the lack of dps with my current items and paragon, we're at 62+ as well). Also, I had about ~0.5% too little CDR, which had me waiting ~50-100ms to cast my RoV again everytime I perfectly executed a full cycle.

Since I got so many questions about cold while I was streaming this I decided to put together a build here. It's not yet finalized and I will expand on it as I will do more testing. Also, I have been working on some numbers for Natalya already but it'll still take a while until I can release something that resembles my last post on UE + M6, especially given how busy my schedule is for the upcoming weeks.

I was running with ~54% CDR without and ~61% with Gogok, which ensures almost infinite discipline via Focused Mind and almost perma wolf uptime, as well as a clean 2 generator cycle with Strafe - Evasive Fire - Strafe - Evasive Fire - Strafe - RoV. I'm not yet decided on Gogok though, ~54% CDR is pretty much exactly what you get with perfect rolls on everything but amulet, which would require you to get a double tick on Strafe only once and still keep a clean 2 generator cycle, or making use of even more double ticks would enable you to drop even more CDR in favor of better dps while only slightly decreasing your RoV frequency. The Ancient Parthan Defenders are a nice bonus but they really don't do much at tier ~60 anymore, even with 30m toughness and 10 frozen enemies. Not sure if they are bugged or anything, but I got oneshot very often even in perfect scnenarios, and I feel going for a glass cannon setup will ultimately be the way to go. This would also let you reach the 2.14 breakpoint without a Gogok (15 dual wield, 9.6 paragon, 3 enchantress, 7 Steady Strikers = 34.6% IAS). I was missing a full 10% RCR on my weapon and if needed you could also reroll the damage range to hatred regen as well, which could be enough to self-sustain the hatred without a templar or regen skill. For lower tiers you can get really tanky with Taeguk + Ancient Parthan Defenders and maybe even Perfectionist if you want to. If you have a Hellfire, I recommend Single Out or Ambush. RG fights become very long in the high 50's, however for ultimate rift fishing Single Out is not needed (Stonesinger).

There are a couple of differences to the fire RoV:

- Icy Trail actually contributes a little to your dps in AoE situations.

- You can more aggressively move through the rift and pull more monsters if you time your Smoke Screen and Flying Strike correctly.

- You won't knockback enemies out of your screen or your RoV AoE, which makes it a lot easier to control them. Also, you will not lose out on big chunks of your RoV damage.

- Bad monster types can more easily be dealt with. Even in Anarch / Assassins / Ghost maps I was consistently getting decent results as long as I didn't get completely screwed over by hordes of nasty elites. The biggest pain are Lacunis because you cannot stun them mid-air, and at some point they will jump at you during Smoke Screen downtime.

- You can more easily stack up the monsters in the AoE of your casts, since they will close in and finally get stuck in the freeze, while with Stampede you will scatter them everywhere if you don't have an obstacle nearby.

- Ess of Johan procs from your follower are free instakills on almost anything. I've tried to use one myself for a bit but the proc coefficients seem too low unless you have a godlike roll.

- You can permafreeze elites for ~6-7 seconds and then move on, pull more, and go back once the diminishing returns have refreshed, thus you have to kite offscreen a lot less even on dangerous packs.

I will explore more of cold RoV once I have some more time to play, and I definitely intend to push cold to tier 62 by the end of the season. For me, it's definitely the way to go until I see another incredible stunt by the fire version.
