Excellent work Bagstone, appreciate your effort! 'Sharing' gear for the 2 hour window is a brand new idea to me, never even considered that in the past.
From my own experience, the 350 chest is hands down best suited for the UE DH. In S6, I saw (I believe) Bell Monks clearing the 350 albeit later in the season with relative ease. Arachyr WD set dungeon is the easiest set dungeon of the gifted sets, Nats is a very close 2nd easiest (again, only my opinion). Barb Imortal Kings is also very straight forward and should complete\master in 3-4 tries max.The rest, only my opion, required a bit more effort (looking at you specifically Uliana's) I spend the time between seasons (s7-s8) running all non-completed dungeons with my NS chars., Nats being one of them and I completed with plenty of time left. Arachyr, I mastered with a Plvl 350'ish WD with low-average gear the 2nd run. It's very straight forward and should be able to get over with in 2 possibly 3 runs through max. There are empty areas of the map to leave alone so you can waste a bit of time the first time through. When I mastered the Barb IK back in S6, think was plvl 300-350 when I mastered it. Think only took 3 or fewer runs through. Vyr's, plays closer to the playstyle in the real game than any other dungeon in the game. The Seeker of Light set dungeon was 'ok' to play (not frustrating) however didn't master.
For the 2nd conquest, I had no issue last season getting the gr75 clear completed with the HT WD build. Was approx plvl 600. Took a while to get the Sacred Harvester and even longer for the ancient to roll at Kadala which is essential for the garg build. I expect the same timeline S8, this assuming no major changes rollover from season patch or updates. LGems were all 70'ish so that took a bit of time to roll up, and had about 1/2 the gear ancient and augmented up to the 70's
I cannot comment on the other conquests as I have never managed to master 4 of any class set dungeons, even in NS so Seasonal is out of reach for me. The gr55 clear with 6 sets 'may' be possible if you roll 3 or more characters however gearing and gemming all with be time consuming.
Have never attempted the boss kills in 20 mins either. I have seen guides (here especially) stating that it's very doable solo, may give this a whirl once I get some speed gear accumulated.
Kinda 'wish' the 3x lvl 65 gems and the 45 no set challenges would return however they aren't scheduled so shouldn't dwell.
You may also notice i dwelled on the set dungeons. This is a thron in my side for the journey. They stand very much in the way of progress so they have their own place in where I choose the gifted sets.
I usually see the journey stages divided up as follows:
Level 1-70. If lucky, get pl'ed early on
Get the gifted sets
Master the set dungeon
Finish the timed rifts
Finish the conquests
Finish the conqueror
Enjoy the rest of the season
Roll HC, try for a couple HC conquests, if possible
Torn between WD (for the easiest set dungeon) and DH (for the 350 chest kills conquest). WD worked extremely well for me S7, most likely that will be my starter then migrate to DH to finish the season.
From what I recall from S6, UE DH and Uliana's monk reigned supreme on the Curses\Stars Align (HC) conquest. I had rolled barb, to me was impossible until I grouped with 3x UE DH's in which they destroyed the 350 with about 500 or so kills.
With the limited info provided, any 'thoughts' on class selections? Thinking if the SJ is similar or the same up to Conqueror, will redo WD (for Haedrigs) and Monk this season (same as S7).
Given that 'Masters of the Universe' has returned, only gonna 'assume' that Set Dungeon mastery is a returning requirement <dang> as well.
As well, thankyou Bagstone for the tracker last season, was very helpful.
I see I am not alone in my 'lack of passion' for the cursed set dungeons. I took WD for S7 as hadn't played that class in over a year. Arachyr's set dungeon ranks as easy as Barb IK and Crusader Invoker (your opinion may differ though). WD no set was also very simple.
I also base the choice on 2 or possibly 3 of the conquests. S8 is a first for me to do all of them (with WD).
S5 I chose Wizard, ended up rolling a Crusader just to do the 45no set challenge and Invoker set dungeon. Just went for the stash and retired back to NS
S6 chose Barb and DH for the 350 kills at chest conquest. This season played out better, stayed right to the end
S7 chose WD based on comments for the set dungeon being easy. Found the whole journey was rather enjoyable, for the first time. In to the end as well.
S8 most likely will go WD just to ensure I get the final stash quickly. Not sure about after gaining the stash, NS chars need a lot of TLC
Each season I also created a HC char, just to play, not anything serious.
This being said, we do not know what (or if) equipment will be updated. Hoping not too much of a surprise.
Sorry I rarely check diablofans anymore, Season 6 kind of killed my enjoyment of the game with the Firebug issues and all.
Anyhow, I just checked all the links in Chrome and Firefox and they appear to work for me, could you post specifically what Guide you're trying to look at and what browser you are using? That way I can refer it to a mod if it's something I can't fix by editing, thanks!
I get the following error in chrome when clicking all the class links:
This site can’t be reached
..’s server DNS address could not be found.
However, I just checked on safari, and it works fine there! This is my go to guide, and I have been slowly working my way through each of the classes :-)
I am sure that I am not the only one to have benefitted from your huge effort, so thank you again on behalf of all!
This is my goto guide for those damn Set Dungeons as well. Without which, I most likely would not have got the stash in S5 or 6. Now, reading up for WD for S7!.
Thanks again for your hard work, truly a gem of a guide for the rest of us!
Nice job! Have the conquests been confirmed? I thought I read the 3x Leg gems to 65 was a conquest, not Guardian? I do not have PTR loaded so cannot check too easily
Just in for the stash then dash. Since set dungeons are still on the plate, Barb set IK is beyond simple. May also roll crusader to get the 45-noset challenge complete so hopefully this season will be a breeze.
The 4.1% will not help after lvl70. You will be MUCH further ahead to use the Amethyst (purple) gem for additional life or diamond (grey) gem for cool down reduction (CDR). All the others are practically useless in the helm slot and have been for a long time.
3 gems to 65 should be your first conquest, you are almost there.
As others have said, join the one of the Conquests communities. Either farm Paths of the Drowned (Act 5) for the Cursed Peat bounty or join when somebody is LFG. DH's (multiple builds) destroy that conquest easily. The 2min TX run is best suited for the open maps as you spam multiple groups of monsters at once. Soloing gr75 takes a bit of time but is doable by all classes (with the right gear\ability setups).

^^Nats is rather easy for the DH side, yes. Arachyr for WD (IMO) is even easier.

HT WD is easy run for the stash, gifted set so you are off to the race quickly.
Use Archrys for the Set dungeon, ezpz for mastery, should take only 2-3 tries max to complete\mastery. Requires little extra gear.
Do the 65LGem, 45no set is also a breeze.
And done.
