Darkening of Tristram Pre-Cursor Event:
The Darkening of Tristram Pre-Cursor event has begun in game, and players should now see Roaming Cultists appearing in Adventure Mode! The portal to Old Tristram will not be available in game until January 4th. Community Manager Nevalistis took to the official forums to clear up any confusion on this matter:

Challenge Rift - Week 28:
Fun challenge.... but isn't Tower Shield passive additive and not multiplicative?
Took me a minute or two to understand what you mean.... That is weird, but then again the author of that Diablofans build is an idiot for putting it there.... Who in the right mind would be so...... sorry.
I kid I kid, Honestly, that doesn't seem like too bad of a build. All the key configs can be remapped, I do it all the time on the PS4 with these challenges. People will put a wizard orb build with the orb being on R1 or circle, to me your main should be on X or square. Still enjoy these challenges, reminds me that anything can work.
Nonetheless, awesome write ups and builds. I'm surprised and curious why it's different for each region. Are the other builds not so popular in other regions? Is Blizz looking at something to promote more diversity? Seems like the Asian build is more for defense minus the required gear, while the NA build is straight forward even for a HC player.
Pretty sure the builds are different between regions because they are actual snapshots of a GR someone on that region did, and since the regions aren't linked in any way, they can't be the same.
