https://dnsquery.org/whois/diablo4.com there is a chance to see cinematic trailer diablo 4 and diablo 2 remastered can be easily hidden in panel same as happens to wacraft 3 reforged 1 years ago. Diablo netflix series ? Bye bye hater, bring your hate to the Hell with Lilith XD
At this point what he said is not called hating but being reasonable.
I think the biggest difference what d2 did right and d3 horrible wrong is itemization.
In almost any other aspect I would give d3 the upper hand. However they shouldve done so much more for the game (e.g. like GGG did with PoE) and it couldve been really a great game even for the masses...
But we know now why this never happened.
Thanks no mobile games for me. Not even some casual games while waiting, sh*t*ing, etc.
Sounds like you regret that. The amount of things I couldve done not playing D3 is stupendous. However it was and still is a part of my life. So what!? In the end it doesnt matter at all. Be gracious with yourself and embrace your decisions. No regrets... sorry for the cheese but it's the truth.
100% safe to say that it is game changing. not 100% more than goblin. sry if I didnt made it clear before.

You call +20%dps "opening some very interesting builds" ??!?!?!?!?!
And, no, it's not "a lot more than than a ring slot" because you can swap in a RORG right now in the cube for a UE Multishot build and wear a Cindercoat, so it's literally just a ring slot.
I'm not saying that it's much more than "just a ring slot" but yes it would open some decent new build ideas having 4 rings or any other gear combination.
There are some interesting Archon/Meteor/FO hybrid builds for wiz that come to my mind. I already made them almost work without that upcoming theme. And yes, that would be a completely other playstyle and more than just some random +20% dps thingy. Just an example. I'm pretty sure there would be plenty of similar ideas across the board.
Please stop being so negative and try to be creative. I guarantee you it's 100% more game changing than double goblin / bounty. It actually makes a difference. I'm amazed how it's possible to think it's the worst theme so far...
well the buffs to sets are just meh. boring. i hope they will increse the GR cap then, ... I guess? otherwise it would make zero sense.
however the grandeur theme hit me by surprise. that's really a cool idea.
Diablo III: Challenge rift 60 - Europe:

Strange Firebird Meteor build - try to Arcane Torrent at the same time when you do meteors - as it will buff meteor damage, too.
crazy strange, yeah. in fact you should not even bother activating the firebird set. just meteor + channel.
please dont start arguing about the missing gem in the pants. there are so many things wrong with this build that the missing gem in the pants really can be neclected. it's just a stat stick tbh.
this has to be the worst CR i've ever played. period.
It's not even a build. I mean really at this point we could just randomely get a build generated. get 6 skills with 1 out of the 5 runes randomely. random available gear slots for each piece, and so on...
Sure the most stupid thing about this CR is that you cant survive. And thats in GR50....
Basically it's a disintegrate LoN build, where you need to hit in melee with spectral blade to refresh your ressource (insta dying). the addition of meteor is a complete wasted slot since the meteors from etched sigil fall down when mobs are dead.
trapped as a gem choice, with no slow in this build (occasional thunderfury proc maybe) and you need to hit mobs in range if you wanna clear the rift. I could continue noting the negatives and still struggling to find any decent synergies, but I guess CRs are just not worth even looking at anymore.
Each and every week I think the build gets chosen by a team that tries to find the most stupid build to let everyone "enjoy" such freaking setups that are based around stupid ideas with non existant synergies...
yep, this was also useless to me.
With currently the leaderboards being down I had absolute no incentive to go for some NS demon hunting.
I start the season on day 1 when this goblin buff is obsolete again.
I know why they didn't do that, but we needed that event simultaneously with the patch to make any sense and not 2-3 weeks afterwards...
yeah i also only do them for the mats, but the EU monk uliana one is fun. actually the first CR i enjoyed. def overkill for GR45 and stricken(!???), but I'm used to run CRs that have bad builds 
it lasted only 3min+ though.
but maybe it helped me decide which class to pick next season ... 
enough qq with no sense everywhere about shrouded moors in greater rifts. the map is very good!!! in greater rifts, it's rifts where it sucks. the biggest fail in rifts....now they remove it for greater rifts. It's so much facepalm I can hardly believe it...
all those PTR item strings are "rings" as placeholders for any item really.
wonder why you picked that particular one, when there is literally every item currently available marked as a "ring".
The one you linked is like you said the Wand of Woh
Armor of Akkhan not have 50% dmg reduction, so buff for Condemn and Heaven's Fury are useless, same with barb Might of the Earth is like around gr 75 you get 1 shot form everthing. Im done some on my crus tests when Bracer of Fury debuted, and dmg was ok but toughness rly problem even with unity.
if you're getting one shotted on your EQ barb in GR75 you really doing something wrong. no offense, if you use that really strong 4 piece mitigation tool of the EQ set and cube band of might you sit around 300m toughness even before paragon 800 with non ancient gear.
300m toughness and those constant APD procs are just like a piece of cake to survive if you compae it with other classes / sets.
At least for the Barb your statement is not true. With those changes I'm thinking about pushing my EQ barb from 94 to around 105++ and that without getting any survivability buffs.
the OoID Buff is crazy for the Wiz, from 60% to 80% dmg mitigation. So twice as strong as it already was before. Seems OP.
It's the strongest dmg mitigation tool out of any class if it makes it live like that (even better than 4 Piece Roland). And on top of being the best dmg mitigation tool in the whole game it also has a buffed dmg increase component.
This and a good dmg mitigation set (like DMO) could even make the halo+apd combo obsolete.
But whatever all those numbers are just PTR numbers, even though I know Blizzard won't get the numbers right even when it hits live
Since the weapon is part of a set that won't uses an offhand, 10% dmg > 7%ias when you won't benefit anything from any procs.
So when comparing 7ias to 1k int you need like what? almost 2k paragon and all gear augmented with 100s to get more value out of 7ias.
In the end it's always better to roll off mainstat on weapon but most of the time the benefit of rolling mainstat off is very tiny and I have seen people below 1k paragon doing that. Even tho it's the perfect weapon in the end it might be better to not roll it at all before season ends

I think you dont know what he's refering to.
it's about the grabbing of your character

i wouldnt care less about genderlock to be quite honest. the main thing that concerns me is the gameplay and the mechanics.
I feel like the class name paladin and amazon would be boring. the theme can be similar to those respective classes in D2
if they really wanna succeed with the game they cant build it entirely on nostalgic reasoning.

great news !

it's actually very good. dunno how I feel when the season themed buff ends ^^ it's weird. can't go back IMO.
remove rorg and change sets to 2/3/5

those are some shitty news :/
however thanks for all, especially the build creator. I used it alot. Looking for a decent alternative, any available?
0
maybe partially the answer, because why would you want thank them? they were just farming and probably didnt care whoever joined.
in the process taking away the best part of the game. being a noob and experiencing everything by your own from scratch.
Being boosted and not knowing what it even meant is a bad thing and can ruin your overall experience.

not so much. I'm regularly ranking within the top50 solo leaderboards of a season.
Top10-20 early season.
I mainly play solo, sometimes with a few friends (lacking lots of paragon thats why I always fall off the ranking later in a season)
I always try to improve the meta builds (which to be quite honest is possible) and play it the way I like. However this is not to be mistaken with playing for fun everything that comes to your mind obviously. You have to stick to OP items. sets and skills.
So I don't see the problem of the question.
There is already a community made up solo self found leaderboard as far as I remember. I didnt bother with that since you need to take screenshots of your achievements and GR pushs and such for them to be valid. I'm just lazy I guess...
The founder of this SSF leaderboard I think was Leviathan. He has some youtube videos about it and is one of the "Westmarch Workshop" guys. Correct me if I'm wrong, not 100% certain xD

while some of your statements might be true, that's a very pessimistic comment...
I still wish I could get into PoE. But I just can't. Gave it even a 3rd chance some days ago.
That D2 mod is promising. I will give that a shot.

I could also read that you are passionate about it. that is what it's all about. do what you want and don't care if it's needed or whatever. It's what actually brings the most joy in life.

out of your list "no set items dropping" is BY FAR the most interesting, the rest is pretty much almost the same. Double goblins, is like a 10-20% faster progress early season, but overall has no real impact on the game.
We shouldnt get all too excited about themed seasons. But at least it's something. I expect xp buff and double blood shards as themes going forward. So nothing to get crazy about

for a primal kinda bad rolls since it's the worst you can get (100 chd and socket are fixed for primal travelers pledge)

I also finished it today in 6:30ish. But to be fair I tried it alot. It's a really difficult challenge.
Also it should be obvious that first you need to get used to the build, which 1) is not everyones taste and 2) is pretty difficult to get into. At least when you wanna be efficient, which you need to be in this CR.
Compared to wudijos original run I think it's better to grab the shield and immediately go the lower pathway in the battlefields. There are 4 elites pretty close with alot of density as well. It's really one big chunk of progress you can make during this period, especially with shield (since I think it's very difficult to survive the battlefields mobtype without it)

i like it, i didnt yet manage to finish it, but what I think is really frustrating, that if you manage to get use to the build and pylon locations and all that stuff, you still need crit luck on boss to finish it in time. i think this is kind of ridiculous.
wudijo is a complete dh nerd, but I give him that that really he did that one on the first try, which is kinda beyond me right now
one thing is for sure, it's actually the first time I will clear this CR for the sake of the challenge and NOT for the mats, cus obviously it's easier to do bounties in that regard...

that's why "like Emmo said"... he should check his overall gear. I highly expect no matter which class and build that at least there are some additive dmg bonuses already available equal to 40% (so same existing value like like fire neck + bracer), hence suggesting Magefist
0
Like Emmo said,
one thing to note as well, is that the Strongarm effect wont apply to mobs that cant be knocked back like Rift guardians and alot of big monster types. Also crowd control immunities can affect the uptime on Strongarms.
If your question was regarding Solo play I would say Magefist would provide the better overall value.
The Strongarm effect however is prefered to use in group, since it will buff the dmg of all party members done to those mobs.
