Hello Diablo 3 friends,
My name is Millen, I'm from Germany and currently doing an apprenticeship to become an IT specialist. I've created a little website which might come in handy during the next few days - www.d3pocketguide.com. You can find everything you need there, from a leveling guide, builds and other stuff.
Everything you can find on that page is created either by fst_d3 and Desolacer. You should definately check out Desolacers Twitch-Stream and fst_d3 is on reddit. He has done the Season Pocket Guides for a few seasons now. In the future we might even include all his stuff in the page itself. This was just an attempt by me to gather all the information in one place so you guys can access it more easily.
If you have feedback don't hesitate to contact me and leave me a message!
Regards, Millen

Hey guys! Updated our builds to be Season 10 ready. Although still tweaking some builds, especially for Monk's Inna 4 piece set (oh boy!). Anyway,
Leveling Guides
Fresh 70 Guides and the Free Sets
I recently posted the builds for fresh 70, 2, 4, and 6 piece set so you can see the build progression. But just to make it easier, I linked the 6 piece builds below. You will find the build progression under Build Guide.
Set Dungeon Builds
We also have builds and guides for class sets and speedfarming.
Just check out our Diablofans page and D3 Directory Guide.
We will post those remaining builds as soon as we can!
Good luck getting your free sets and primals this season!

Hi guys! We're back with updated guides for season 9. We apologize for the technical difficulties experienced last season! Transferred to a new server for this season. Boyfriend spent the last 3 months learning to manage our own linux server! Forgive us if there are any poorly implemented visuals that still exists in the site.
Leveling Guides
Minor tweaks here and there, clarified some things about leveling and Leoric's Crown.
Fresh 70 Guides
A step by step guide on how to quickly progress your character to get your Haedrig's Gift asap! It starts off with builds and recommendations for each 0,2,4,6 pieces of the free set, followed by how to most quickly and efficiently gain power from there.
For a complete listings, check out our build at Diablofans/brgprincess - official TeamBRG Dfans page.
Seasonal power ranking and comments.
These are loose predictions, I can't test them all to the highest level. Think of it as a rough barometer.
If anything, I wish to believe it beats thorns purely on the premise that I’m sick of thorns (LoN, I love Invoker). LoN & Invoker can break the 90’s. Lights can definitely get into the high 80’s, maybe more? Roland is still subpar, Akkhan's on its own is not counted.
Can Wastes really hold up? All of the sets have high power levels now, which is pretty good for the class. I’ve seen all sets put up 90+ finishes. Of course IK by itself if not counted.
UE is still the absolute king of general purpose builds, as you can use it for farming and GR’ing. I’ve seen 90+ with FoK, UE, M6 (I think M6 may be more stable than UE in higher GR now..), and S2M2. I’m sure Nats can get 80+, and pure Impale can definitely break 80.
Raiment still wrecks. The Inna buff actually makes me hopeful for its variant builds, which are good for midtier play. SWK is my personal choice for WORST GR SET, but best farming set by a lightyears. Raiment can pass 100, Inna. I’m sure can break 90. Uliana and SWK can definitely break the 80’s too. Overall a good spread of many viable choices!
All builds are pretty good. Bats and Emptiness is hard to beat but hard to solo with. Gargs are still good. Jade can actually break 90. Zunimassa can actually pull some amazing DPS, but I haven’t seen a tryhard in recent memory. All of the sets are pretty strong.
Since pretty much every non-Vyr set can use many similar builds, it’s hard to rank it by set. Archon is still the undisputed king, capable of 100+ clears. While all we see is Firebird these days, I’m pretty damn sure TRE and Vyr can step into the world of 90’s. Annoyingly, the “Jank” builds can tackle 80+ surely using any of the strong wizard weapon pairs.
For that extra Stash Tab, these are the things we need to complete:
S9 Conquests
Here’s the list for this season: This is roughly arranged in the order in which I would do them. Honestly, the first four, Curses > Avarice > The Thrill > Speed Demon, are roughly equal in difficulty. we got a good easy spread of conquests this season!
Well, that's about it. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to leave your comments below!

What's the best class? Raiment is probably the best class this season.
Best builds for each class in S7?
What set dungeon should I master for conquest? These are just our findings. Of course, it all boils down to your preference and playstyle. But this should serve as a good starting point if you're lost.
For a complete list, see our Set Dungeon builds and guides.
Want to complete the Thrill conquest? Check our builds here and the guide here.

As Season 6 is about to close, we've made this D3 Season 7 Startup Guide for the upcoming season.
These are for ALL times zones. If you're an EU or ASIA server, these are like 1 or 2 hours off (see the link on for the conversion). Made this countdown coz I'm tired of trying to recall/convert "When Season 7 will start?!?!?!?"

Hello guys! I'll be posting resources to help you along your way in your journey this season (6) as a Crusader.
Crusader - Leveling: (Dfans) I have mixed feelings about Crusader leveling. During my earlier experiments It sometimes felt awkward, weak and sluggish. I gave up on synergy and just... let go...
I tried for a while with "standard builds"... but again, once I let go of the shield... things just worked out. If you get an awesome legendary that upgrades a skill that needs a shield, by all means use it... I purposefully didn't use any random legendaries for my various tests leveling Crusaders. The common theme for my ownage? NO SHIELDS = PURE POWER. (For the new: D3 leveling process- keep in mind I cannot take into consideration every factor in the leveling process, this is a general help guide)
Crusader - Fresh Level 70: (Dfans) Ahh the fun part. Here's a quick rundown of your immediate goals.
GR20 is the first "challenge" that many people will be trying to overcome, but that doesn't mean you have to struggle!
Past that, refer again to the Crusader - Fresh Level 70 or (On Dfans) guide again. From here you will be directed on what build to use, adjustments and items to look for. If i were to give you a few bullet points of advice...
Crusader Speedfarming: Your next goal should be to be as "speed farm capable" as possible. Crusaders, however, aren't known for their early game speedfarming sadly...
(For newer players: D3 Speedfarming tips). Akkhans Thorns is a viable speed build for Bounties AND/OR Rifts. I hesitate to say "best build" right now, but you should learn to be as malleable as possible. Again, I cannot possibly account for all possible scenarios for all players - but please use the advice contextually. While LoN is obviously popular for speeds, the problem lies in the harsh fact it's... well.. LoN.
Enjoy! and in case you're looking for something else - TeamBRG D3 Guide Directory. Even as S6 is upon us very soon, I'm still very unsure what to play. I enjoyed my forays with the Shield (or lack thereof) last season. I find facetanking gameplay somewhat satisfying and thrilling - and if that appeals to you then Invoker or Akkhans Thorns is definitely something you can try out.

Hello guys! I'll be posting resources to help you along your way in your journey this season (6) as a Witch Doctor.
Witch Doctor - Leveling: (Dfans) For those that have gone this road before, this is the easiest part. Leveling up WD was a complete and utter joke, a mockery of "ACTION RPG". It was truly an "AFKRPG". Here's a summary of advice.
The disgusting power you have leveling up allows WD to increase difficulty level (but don't push it) past Hard or Expert. Most classes need build adjustments before entering bossfights - not you... not you sir...

Mask of Jeram is disgustingly rare. YOU CAN CHEESE GETTING ONE IF YOU'RE DESPERATE. Powerlevel a L31 WD and spend blood shards on helmet. There are only 4 legendaries in this pool (Split Tusk, Quetzalcoatl, CARNEVIL and MASK OF JERAM). While a L31 Legendary sucks for end-game use, you can extract the cubed power! Is it worth it? MoJ literally doubles your pets DPS, buddy.
Witch Doctor Speedfarming: Your next goal should be to be as "speed farm capable" as possible. Luckily, WD's are pretty damn good at doing this.

Enjoy! and in case you're looking for something else - TeamBRG D3 Guide Directory. Up to this point I'm still not sure what I wanna play this season, but WD Zunimassa was actually one of my choices. I'm sick of helltooth, and Poison Dart damage is absolutely bonkers with all the multiplicative buffs. We're talking HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS here...

I posted this deep in another thread and got messaged to make a completely new thread about it. Also contains other useful resources at the bottom.
Easysauce: DH and Barb are too easy. WD isn't as brainless as you think... you can fail some rifts without that resilient build.
DH GR20 M4: No challenge whatsoever (VIDEO) (Fresh70+)
Barb GR20 R4: roftstomp (VIDEO) (Fresh70+)
WD GR20 Zuni4: Use this build else you may waste a key or two. (VIDEO)(Fresh70+)
Weaksauce: THE BUILDS MAY LOOK FUNNY BUT THERE IS PROOF OF COMPLETION
Monk GR20 Inna4: Seemingly impossible, this funky build will pull through with 1-2 mins to spare. (VIDEO) (Fresh70+)
---> In the vid I'm posting, I got an RG that spawns no adds for EP, and had 2:00+ to spare.
Wiz GR20 Delsere4: The build looks like trash but you'll make it. I killed Blighter with this! (VIDEO) (Fresh70+)
---> I've nothing to say here but watch the vid when it comes up. This dump of a build will pull you through.
Crus GR20 Akkhan4: Traditionally? IMPOSSIBLE. Roll or pick up yellows with thorns? GGEZ (VIDEO)(Fresh70+)
---> I even tried with ZERO AKKHANS and pure yellows with thorns. Cleared. It took me 2 minutes to reroll.
All builds are tested with: 0 paragon, 0 cube, 0 other legendaries, 0 pylons and only yellows/some rerolls. I took special care to design builds that will get you there with ONE RIFT KEY. They're not meant to be speedy or fancy, but you wont fail even the worst rifts and RG's.
Innas and Delseres build look really weird but I promise you it works. Akkhan 4 w/o Yellows + thorns is IMPOSSIBLE. It was extremely fun theorycrafting resilient builds for the latter 3 (especially monk and wiz) that would withstand GR20 FRESH 70 AS FRESH CAN BE. It's fascinating how end-game ideas do not hold up well for such a constrained design space.
