SO.... Challenge 3 a LON build with 1 Ancient? I mean what kind of build is this?
I did beat it with .1 second left. Maybe that was the challenge? lol
If the builds are going to be so completely random and crap worth, can we at least get more of them per week or daily? It's just a mix bag of whatever. I can put together better builds in less than 2 hours.
Please make them a complete build but NON Meta so at least Blizzard can show us other alternatives to how each class can play.
While *I* personally would like to try one of the top rifts, at least one week, I assure you that if we got a rank 1 clear as CR only very few players would be able to even get the cache in that given week. I mean, watch Wudijo do the current Challenge Rift on stream and then try to do the same things he does and beat his time. Good luck beating him. (Last week no one did, this week he's #3 again with only a few attempts so far.)
With that in mind, I hope Challenge Rifts finally put an end to the bullsh*t argument that "Diablo 3 requires no skill" and "those players are only up there because they have so much gear/paragon".
I understand it's not for HIGH GRs or top tier builds. But this current challenge makes absolutely no sense. I mean, if they chose that gear, i think a better challenge would have been to use all Rare or White/Blue gear. I mean, what's the point of having just random set pieces that don't actually make a set. You are just running the worst possible stuff. At least set dungeons have a purpose - set goals to do. The current challenge just does nothing. You don't get to prove anything. It's like having Usain Bolt running against High Schoolers. Doesn't prove anything. There's no challenge. It's just random crap gear on some random low level GR.
So far it wasnt good. It wasnt actually challenging. The problem is that the builds suck, the gear sucks, the transmog sucks but the only thing I did it for was the reward. It wasnt fun.
At first, I didn't care it wasn't a high powered build. Whatever... But to have a build for a 'challenge' that looks like some random RNG put together. Sets that aren't even complete? The set weapons only has one and missing the other, you have the Unity ring on the character but not the follower? I mean what is the point then? Seriously, the set dungeons are way better than this crap.
Like you can get this stuff before you even complete level 70 lol. What a joke.
First switch Chantodo's Will to the Starfire. I like Aether Walker over In-Geom for the cube.
Legendary Gems should be Zei's Stone Of Vengance, Gogock of Swiftness and Bane of the Trapped. So swap out your Bane of the Powerful for Zei's.
Gameplay - as soon as the GR starts, cast your two buffs. Then use 3 elements - your teleport (Arcane), Frost Nova (Cold), and Arcane Torrent (Lightning). Once all three are activate, then pop your Archon (for Fire) and you'll have all 4 elements and the first 8 seconds of Archon is where you deal massive damage.
With Aether Walker cubed - you can use this to teleport around and try not to get hit while out of Archon form.
Once you can deal with not getting hit and want more power, you can swap out teleport with Black Hole - Spellsteal. Gain black hole stacks and you'll deal exponential damage.
A lot has changed since those 'years' you've last played.
Once you hit level 70, it is fairly easy to get Legendary sets now. Even if they don't drop, just upgrade your rares. There's many different ways via the cube, or Kadala as well.
If it's your very first toon - I advise not to get powerleveled. You'll miss everything you get along the way that will help your character out much much more than just getting to 70 asap.
Follow your journey chapters to get your gear for that character. Seriously, once you unlock them, which is pretty easy, you'll level up pretty quickly.
I haven't even played through the story! Adventure mode is open from the start, so you can jump around to do what you need to do.
First season using a Support monk. I have a build to play with Witch Doctors. However, was in a game without one, and wasn't just working out as best as it could.
There's tons of different types of support monks, depending on the party.
Is there a list to show them all, what works well depending on who's in or not in the party?
Like what build works best if the Wizard is the DPS - with and/or without a WD?, etc. etc.
On a side note - I hope you're playing seasons. Because if you're not, and plan to get GOLD membership just to get bounty mats is a pointless move. Non seasoned characters can just dupe any item on consoles. NOT saying you'll dupe, but being in a public lobby - other's can and will spoil it for you.
Seasons you can not dupe and is worth doing split bounties for.

CR 4 seems a bit better. At least it had a complete 6 piece set this time and it had at least 4 different elements to take use of the 6 piece set.

Yes, I know. But Necro doesn't use them like say the Lightning Wizard. The new ring - Krysbin's Sentence is supposed to reflect that.

Neco doesn't use elements though. That's why there's the new ring for Necro's.
Check out most builds don't need that element roll on the bracers anymore!

So, it's like you go to a restaurant and order a burger. After eating most of it, you decided you didn't like it and want a refund?

First 5 or so Primals were for builds I don't use. Then when it rains, it pours!

Two primals from one GR run. One was from the rewards loot for killing the Rift Guardian and the other was from Kadala.
Both are usable!
