Just tell me (please) which class is best for fastest Season Journey clear, I'm totally bored of next season without any new feature.

Hello guys!
part 1, Thorns Basics: https://youtu.be/QMP2fI6O7zw
part 2, Thorns Gear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x0U-QHNfoE

part 3, Thorns Skills: Diablo III: The BIG Thorns Guide Part 3 - Thorns Skills

I've been doing some in-depth calculations on some builds and realized that video like this one would be very useful for a lot of people. There's no basic Thorns guide on the whole internet! There's tonns of written information, very contradictory, and at most = outdated. Also a lot of Invoker and LON Bomb guides which just scratch the surface a little. But there's no BASIC THORNS guides explaining how thorns works, where does THORNS DAMAGE come from and how it scales with the gear, gems and skills. Most likely this will become the most comprehensive and complete Diablo 3 Thorns guide on youtube and the web itself. I think it will be much better and easier to watch a few videos instead of reading and digging reddit and different diablo forums for hours and hours, gathering small pieces of "not-so-correct" information.
Instead of doing one SUPER HUGE video, i will separate the "BIG" guide into several smaller ones. This one would be the biggest i guess
In this video i will explain where basic Thorns pool comes from and how you can multiply and increase your thorns damage.

Please let me know in comments if you liked the guide so far!

tx i guess crusader is longest. Gr50 would be easy with sader though

IMHO:

Best Atmospehere: D1

Best Story: D2

Best Gameplay: D3

Best Music: D1/D2

Best Graphics for it's time: D1/D3

Best Progression/Levelling: D1/D2

Thanx!

part 2 is up, Thorns Gear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x0U-QHNfoE

you can just connect to the Toon Server

but cannot create a game

The ring internal "power" has been tripled in 2.4.0:

The Short Man's Finger

• The damage bonus granted to each Gargantuan has been tripled
• This change will apply retroactively to existing items

100% fake.

I have a feeling the Season will end 10/30, just a hunch

Quote from Bagstone»

No, it cannot be. You're not triggering anything.

I can think of two reasons:

1) Your browser caches some info and doesn't update until you take action to force update the vote count (and one of the ways to do that is upvoting/downvoting yourself). Dr_Jerrone mentioned something along the lines; the upvote/downvote isn't a live display but sometimes delayed.

2) I have no idea about the code, but maybe there's actually a built-in spam protection that delays the display of other people's upvotes/downvotes. It's a similar reason why some websites don't display this (for example, Reddit doesn't display vote count until a post is one hour old).

In any case, it's a display issue on your side. Whether it's your browser messing with you or intended by the devs as a spam protection, I don't know. But I can tell you that we can see every individual upvote/downvote and some more info. This helps us to identify vote fraud - and for the obvious reasons (to not give those people any hints on how to fool us and hide their vote fraud) we can't reveal any more details. But rest assured, every upvote/downvote is registered and it's tied to one user account, so whatever is happening is most likely a browser or display issue, but no flaw in the system. "It's not a bug, it's a feature".

==========

After observing votes, likes, follows, and all this kind of Internet karma bullshit developing for the past 10+ years, I wish we just would get rid of it once and for all. It just brings out the worst in people and it doesn't stand for quality. Just look at Reddit: A Diablo 3 troll post gets 1000 upvotes within an hour. Useful guides rarely get over 100 upvotes and often fall off the main page just because someone doesn't like their name or remembers one single bad action of said person in the past.

Paranoja, top 50 DH got also banned

he is my RL friend, we play together since release and he got banned for no reason , we never used thud, bots,exploits ,not even a macros on numpad stuff, we were in all clans together and he got banned for boting, he wrote tickets today and still they said he did bot , it's stupid decision to kick him after 10 k + hours in this game

Quote from Moboroshi»

You have little fate in people that is your problem.

But I guess the problem is more about what friends do you have in game, around what kind of players do you float around because me as a non cheater I delete every one that I suspect of cheating and believe me its very easy to see this. Actually players are so used to cheating and be friends with cheaters that when someone sais he never sued Turbo Hud or Botting they wont believe him.

I actually do trust that person he doesn't bot or use turbo hud, he was the leader of the only no cheater allowed clan on Hardcore EU.

No I don't have little faith in people. But I have been playing computer games for 30 some years, and the excuses are always the same when people cheat and get caught. Usually they claim innocence and faulty anti cheat or false positives. Yet it has never happened for me or anyone of the many people I've played with online through the years in any game.
I used the friend thing as an example of how little I would believe a person ever did anything wrong, even if he was my friend. I hate cheaters. Always have an always will. If you play offline, cheat your heart out all you want. But if you play online, don't be a wanker and cheat. That's all I can say. If I knew of any of my friends who cheated in any game I play with them, I couldn't want to play with them anymore. But this is getting a bit off topic in fictive scenarious and stuff.
Bottom line is, I don't care how well you know your friend. If he was banned he cheated somehow. Bannable cheating can be many things and as I said, he might only have done it once ages ago. But I don't buy he was banned for using Yolomouse. If he was, it should be easy to prove with Warden logs, and I have yet to hear of anyone being banned/unbanned for false Yolo positives. Warden knows what it see in your memory and know the difference between Yolo and bots and stuff.

TL:DR of the thread, Do it on PC or no one cares, as they shouldn't because: Cheating.

This.

I'd welcome some legit console progression but nothing about this is legit, bugs and absolutely cheating is how they got 126 on console. There is a reason no one has gotten this high on PC...

Well, you might be surprised but there are a ton of ppl that hate the game here, too.

Good luck anyways.

I'm seriously getting pretty ****ing sick of this 'well we don't want to hurt someone's feelings so we won't fix a bug' approach.

If there's a bug, or an exploit, or a problem, FIX IT. Are you that worried about losing players that you're literally going to wait months to patch it? And furthermore, all those players that tried very hard LEGITIMATELY are going to be knocked off THEIR spots, so what about them? Blizzard, you just said that you'd rather 'preserve' the feelings of the ones taking advantage of this, over the ones that didn't. I don't personally believe in trying to preserve either, but ffs at least do the obvious one.

I... I don't know. I'm actually becoming more and more worried about Diablo as a whole. Kind of feels like we're one announcement away from having some D3 phone game. All my rage typing aside, this just makes me sad.

For the stash, then back to NS.

One thing I do not understand is the seeming obsession with the cosmetic hoarding this season (haven't played NS so not sure what the momentum is over there).

Essentially, they do absolutely nothing however people seem to flock to them like they're the new found BiS item of all time. Sure, it's a new pet or transmog or whatever, add zip zero ziltch for making the game better. I have 4 pets now, why get more? Every single one you have does exactly the same thing (pick up gold). If one type gathers gold, another gathers globes, then of course get them all and use for your situation\needs of the moment. Couldn't care less about the wings or pennants, they are just in the way and distract (ie gold wings from pre order ROS). Portrait frame? Sure, show your level of completion in the season or if you bought OW, completed lvl 70 in old seasons or hit level 20 in HotS.

I think this sends a message to Blizz that crap content patches are awesome and no new real worthwhile additions are required if people will accept crap as the new best thing since sliced bread. I remember when Seasons was about getting new items ahead of NS, this was a great concept.....

Perhaps I am gravely mistaken however it's what I currently perceive.

Thud reveals items in the world that cannot be seen without revealing the fog of war, in Grifts particularly showing the exact location of pylons, and what that pylon is, giving a general map layout so you can avoid all the major detours which in turn gives you a speed advantage over those of us that don't use this "addon" which is and will always be, cheating, there is no other word for it, if you don't think this is cheating then you need to get back to school because your teachers obviously failed to teach you the correct definition of the word, and the context it is used in.

You can buy dyes until you spend all gold. Its also time consuming process if you decide to spend it on winter dyes.

If you find that not challenging enough, you can spend your gold on rare shield collection. I would say that Bastion's Keep has great vendors for this cause, but if you want to be mainstream, New Tristram is also ok.

If you dislike these methods, try empowering grift 90+ to upgrade lvl 0 gems. It is true fun to spend 600 000 000+ gold like this. And it takes only 5 grifts to get your legendary gem to lvl 20 this way, for more than 3 000 000 000 gold!

Fun is guaranteed.

The game is not on life support. Diablo 3 will be around for many many many years with people still playing it. Saying that. I strongly feel Diablo 3 is losing many players with each new season. Season 1, had 60 out of 79 people on my F list playing every day. season 2 about the same. season 3 little less people. BUT season 6 turnout on my F list was and could believe it. only 4 people. 4 friggin people taking part in this new season out of now 89 people on my Flist. And them 4 people are geared to the max and bored as hell. Season 6 started Friday, April 29. It has not even been 1 month. To be fully geared in days and the only thing to do is grind out rifts just to get keys to do the same rifts over again. I don't know man. Boring doesn't even begin to explain the feeling. Anyway. Only brand new players will keep this game going for many years. As for long time players since the beginning. It's almost time to hang this game up and move on.
