Starting a series of vids just farming higher MPs.  I'm doing MP7 because it's a nice mix of things living long enough that creature type and affixes matter and yet not so long that you feel like your just spamming bears and waiting for things to die.  I'm doing full story line of each Act and just highlighting interesting packs.  I'm doing live commentary as I record and then editing things together after.

Act I is up below:



Act II





I will update this thread with the other Act vids as they finish.

Sorry if I am wrong but you didn't ever make use of the envirment. Walls are your best friends!

Hi Emberos,
just out of curiosity how many hours have you spent getting to your paragon lvl? And how many total hours of WD play?
If it is not a problem

I know it's something I usually do when appropriate.  Actually about 5:30 into the Act I vid, there is a specific and obvious instance of me kiting around environment to LoS mobs that have a very high damage charge (super epic ending to that fight so worth watching ).  That said, when you are hiding behind environment, you obviously can't target bears very effectively.  Generally speaking, it's better to have enough defenses, damage, and life steal to face tank the pack.

Less than 700 hours on WD.  I'm not sure how much of that was pre-Paragon but probably somewhere around 150-200 were before.

Nice vids m8 keep them comin and find your self a monk who uses cyclone strike thats when you love playing ^^.

Correct me if im wrong but i think muddsey meant why not put your back on the walls so your bears line on top of each other. In my case that's the reason i love act 3 many walls and narrow places so I make sure most of my bears hit the target

[Emberos]

I may have read it wrong then . . . I fully acknowledge even in the vid that I am for shit on bear targetting at the moment

I just need more in-game experience there in terms of what works best as I've spent 98% of my WD life Acid Rain farming.  I'll work with the back to wall piece or any other advice you have on getting bears to target more optimally.

Hehe, I did actually ment it like Hasansabbat said. Packs usually die in couple sec if they keep their ground close next to me. It's one of the best packclearing strats tbh.

Hit Paragon 100 early this AM.  Will be taking a break over Christmas but should put out Act III and IV in the New Year.
