Play Your Way Stream

This week's Play Your Way Thursday stream will feature V3dun's Void Ray Wizard, and is bound to be an interesting watch. Tomorrow, 16th October, 2 p.m. PDT. With Blizzcon being really close, who knows, we might be able to learn one or two new interesting things from the stream! One can only hope.

Thankfully, runner-up Majier#1230 has raised his weapon in service and will be joining us this Thursday, October 16.  But that's not all, nephalem. We'll also be joined by a very special guest for this week's show—deadmau5!  Here are all the juicy details:

• What: Our fourth Play Your Way Thursday livestream
• Where: http://www.twitch.tv/diablo
• When: Thursday, October 16 @ 2:00 p.m. PT to 3:00 p.m. PT
• Who: Brandy "Nevalistis" Camel, Majier#1230, Joel "deadmau5" Zimmerman, and Don Vu
• Why: To kill ghosts n' stuff. 

For this particular stream, associate game designer Don Vu raised the bar and challenged us to jump into the Hardcore Season with Halcyon himself, Joel Zimmerman. See just how long I'll last running V3dun's "Void Ray" Wizard and learn more about Majier’s "Sweeping Thunder" Crusader as we Rift our way to HC glory. May our deeds of valor be remembered!

Tempest Rush Monk

Holy Hermit uploaded a guide to a very cool Tempest Rush build for Monks. He goes through skill choices, itemization and gameplay tips. While not the "best" Monk build, as it's progression seems to be limited to GR level 33, it's still a fast paced, high mobility fun build. Check it out!
