I wanted to do Master of the Universe but Wastes set dungeon is retarded then i realized: "I'm an idiot, i can easily gamble two sets for another class and faceroll my way for Years of War!" And that's what i did. Piece of cake.

Hi Stede.
I appreciate all the replies guys. It seems like Years of War is far and away the winner. It'd probably be a lot of fun for me too. I'm still intrigued by Sprinter, as I think I could find some other folks willing to pour 10-12 hours into practicing & perfecting it - which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. It's just that those 10-12 hours are kind of lost after that.
I see the appeal of hitting the leaderboards on Sprinter, but that time is done. Past that, it's more of just a curiosity. Years of War will get me into some new classes, sets, and playstyles. Somebody mentioned it, but it is very true that we're only 1.5 weeks into the season and my DH is already 2/6 on the Guardian step, so there really is a lot of time to work through this. I'll probably get back to Sprinter at the end of the season.
Now I just need to roll an ancient Yang's (big fan of UE) and GR70 should be a cinch. Back to speedfarming TX and levelling gems, I guess.

Puri posted a message on Best way to go about this ? (ancient items)Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionWell, if you want a specific item then rerolling in the cube is the best (but yes, expensive) way. But the chances for an ancient are decent.
Since the reforging costs in the cube are the same, you should try to reforge your weapon there and hope for Kadala to show mercy on your armor parts.
Running T7 rifts for bounties is obsolete, since TX will reward you with 5 act mats each.
Even if you don't like group play the fastest way to farm them is to join a public bounty game. And you can hardly call it group play, since everyone does the bounties solo - it actually is quite fast unless you have some slacker (that usually gets kicked very quickly) and besides the act materials it also is a pretty efficient way to farm souls.

Draco_Draco posted a message on Conquests in Season 5Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionWould also have to echo Years of War. Mained a wizard, geared a DH - I levelled 3x lvl 60 gems for use on the DH (which means a minimum of 45 rifts, but probably closer to 50-60) and by the end of it, I had full UE set with 3x ancients, proper belt (had a witching hour laying around), decent bracers, a deadman's legacy etc... Then it was just a case of rolling a few bows to a yangs and I had a DH that could farm T10 to finish the other set(s) to get another 1-2 55's done. I probably spent about 17-20K blood shards in total by the time I had finished both marauder and UE sets, which aren't a ton when I get up to 5K per hour.
Just keep using your main to farm shards and roll gear untill it can comfortably start T10 - there's no point trying to gear a second char up through the tiers, will take you WAY longer. I ended up doing Years of war with firebirds, tal rasha, Delsere's MO on wizard, and Shadow's, Marauder and UE on my DH (shadows kinda sucked though, would not recommend :s).

Bagstone posted a message on Conquests in Season 5Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionHands down: Years of War.
Yeah, you might be able to pick 8 set dungeons that are easier than a GR55. But that means that you have at least, probably 3 classes geared up (because no two classes have 4 completely braindead set dungeons - see this thread for a complete list). By the time you acquired 8 sets (plus additional non-set gear) and are ready to attempt the set dungeons, chances are you have more than enough gear to complete a GR55 on 6 out of those 8 sets easily. There are very few exceptions - for example, you've been running T10 for ages with multiple different people who all threw entire class sets at you, and you haven't done a lot of GRs (resulting in low paragon and low gem ranks). If you're in that position, doing 8 set dungeons *might* be easier; though make sure to not pick frustrating dungeons like Jade or Wastes which will make you regret your choice ;-)
Sprinter is the most difficult conquest. It's possible solo, but probably only on DH and only if you get a perfect run (a lot of luck on the big maps like Blood Marsh, almost never running into a dead end). But even in a perfectly organized group I've yet to see anyone finish this with more than 5 minutes left. On the other hand, there are players who plan this contest, have insane movement speed and are perfectly prepared, and still fail this. Due to all the scripted events, the animations, and just the sheer amount of running and searching and killing you have to do, there's almost no leeway. Sprinter is not easy.
