Wyatt Cheng on Furnace

Wyatt Cheng wanted to know via twitter if teleporting out of Greater Rifts to equip an item like The Furnace during is a valid strategy that should be kept in the game or something they should prevent people from doing.

It appears like the majority of answers think that it is not something that's good to the game. Check his posts below, as well as the opinions of MVPs like Jaetch and Monstrous.

@candlesan Save us from it, please. Furnace is just too strong at the higher GRifts. (Thunderclaww)
@Thunderclaww @candlesan I've run into a problem where my gear breaks in the middle of a Greater Rift and I need to TP. Keep that in mind. (Monstrous)
@candlesan You'd have to either implement an NPC within a Greater Rift for repairs or make deaths in GR's not cost durability.
@MonstrousD3 @Thunderclaww Yah we'll definitely have to keep durability in mind. (Twitter)
@MonstrousD3 BTW does that imply you're on the "save us from it" side of the vote? (Twitter)
@candlesan 80% save us / 20% leave it--It's gimmicky yet opens the door for some interesting strategies. Meh, just save us and stop it. (Monstrous)
@candlesan @Diablo It's no good. Solo DHs are screwed, and teleporting to switch your build/gear kills the adrenaline rush of doing a GR. (Deadset Gaming)
@candlesan Save us. There must be better ways to make the levels more "difficult" besides insane HP scaling. Plus that whole TP/repair thing (Jaetch)
@DeadsetGaming @Diablo That's a good way to phrase it - kills the adrenaline rush. (Twitter)

Malthael at the World Cup

In the spirit of FIFA's Soccer (Football) World Cup, DeathsFugitive made a cool montage of Malthael scoring a goal!


Crusader Fanart

griddark was originally reported as the author of these drawings, but apparently he just makes high resolution pictures based on the original fanart (thanks AgentSmith for the heads-up). The authors of these impressive Crusader fanarts, from the Fanart Contest, are JiHunLeeJorsch and Geunjoo. The amount of detail and character fidelity are still incredible. Check them out!
