THUD got hacked and is now disabled? Source: i have read it on their forums - there is only 1 thread available there at the moment.

It will be interesting to see how the LB competitions progress now till the end of the season :).

Or if the players find a new "pizza" .

EDIT: Actually it's their forums that got hacked and were completely deleted (no threads, manuals, tips, nothing, empty forum), but apparentely the owner and creator of the program decided to shut down the whole project and set the program to an impossible high version number, thus disabling it remotely.

Thanks a lot for making this thread J_Macc. It really saves a lot of time if you want to try a new build or see what is working and viable for farming in TX

I hope a thread like this appears for every class, every season really, but I know that's a lot of work also

EDIT: I was too slow .

1 Floor GR ftw . Shame for the conduit tho it would have been even faster .

Good job on the clear and go go 114 .

If you put 1 of each legendary gem in your stash you actually stop getting them from the RGs . And the only use for legendary gems you don't want is to level them and use them to augment your ancients.

First of all I want to say that I personally like the idea of LoN and I don't think it should be changed . It makes so much legendaries actually usable and so many new builds possible - not just the 4 set builds +- 1 or 2 skills/runes changed. People can actually use their imagination and if they have the time to farm the ancients they can make their own build capable of farming TX . Not as fast as the "cookie-cutter" builds, but hey - it's my own unique build and I am farming TX with it - isn't that awesome.

Second: @PsykStrike I think that you are too much focused on the set bonus you get from the rings and I personally don't agree with your comparison between normal sets and LoN (the 500% dmg example). Why? Simply because you are not taking into consideration the fact that the legendaries have a legendary affix. A thing that the set items don't have and that boost some skills quite significant. So, even if a lot of your gear is just non-ancient legendaries - if you have the "right" legendaries for your build - it should work quite well. Of course turning them into ancient legendaries shows the real power of the LoN build, but you just can't underestimate those awesome orange affixes.

ok just thought of a set idea right now! while you have elective mode ON increase all your damage by xxxx%.

totally forgot about this elective mode thing, i'd like to know who exactly thought of that and if he's still working in blizzard.

And I thought of a conquest achievement for a season in the future: "While you have elective mode OFF complete solo GRift XX" .
People are so used of elective mode ON nowadays that I can already see a problem with some builds and this option being off . But then again - that brings back memories .

The Azurewrath is already gone, and I think Oathkeeper is a much better substitute. Interesting build you have there. Have you ever tried putting Stalgard's Decimator in the cube instead of Shard of Hate? I am not sure if it suits your build that good (cuz it's only a physical dmg at the end), but I know for sure it works really well with other frenzy builds .

I see . Thanks a lot for the fast answers .

Btw, excuse me if I am going too off-topic, but today I was just wondering - if you are banned in D3, does that prevents you from playing the other Blizzard games that are connected to that account (assuming you have bought SC2 or WoW for example) or just D3?

no more progress?^

I did it, with barb, like 2 months ago - I don't have any video or screenshot I can provide and that barb is long dead, but what I was using was a fire HotA build - using the HotA wep, bracers, cindercoat, magefists, andariel's visage (stack that % fire dmg as higher as possible, get % hota dmg as well and then you can invest everything in toughness), occulus ring (just stand in the circles and swing that hammer ). It may not get you the conquest from the first try, if you don't have the best possible gear, but if you are lucky with the pylons and the mobs in the rift - it should get the job done.

And yes, I've watched some guides in YT saying you can do this with items from different set as long as you don't have the set bonus, but I didn't want to risk it and I suggest you do the same - all orange, no green equipped

GL & HF

Garfm made an YT videos, about the situation on the US solo leaderboards after the 2nd and the 3rd ban waves. If you didn't see them already, make sure to check them out, because they give us a rough number about how many top10 and top1000 players were actually banned.

Here are the links: 2nd Ban Wave and 3rd Ban Wave .

Way to go Blizzard, keep it up!

Unfortunately sadly, but true. Still, HC is definitely fun - it was for me, even tho 95% of the time I've died it was not my fault (nor my connection). So I do encourage people to try it - especially seeing how easy gearing is in the present time. Just know - no matter what, eventually, everyone dies in HC :D.

Gearing is very easy nowadays with the help of the cube and Haedrig's Gifts, so if you have stable connection HC is definitely a viable option :). And the journey is piece of cake :D.

For people like me - without stable connection - it's sadly not an option :(.
