[AfricanTech]

Thanks for the levelling help last night guys.

Game has changed quite a bit since I last played...

WD has become huge fun to play.

There are a few more things to do - ultimately geared towards being able to run the highest possible GR of course.

Some the stuff to look out for:

1. When running bounties, do the the "bonus" maps in order for extra cache after each map (the bonus map cycles through the 5 available)
2. Get someone to run you through to get Zoltan's Cube (for all kinds of cubey goodness)
3. A Puzzle Ring in the Cube gets you to Greed's realm - no more gold problem
4. You can convert gems from one type to another in the cube (you put in 9 gems of the same type and level) add a potion bought from Squirt, and Voila - no more issue with having too many gems of the wrong type)
5. RoRG is no longer as key as it used to be - the six piece sets work pretty well without it
6. You get your first six piece set for the first Char you roll in a new season fairly easily (as you'll have seen)
7. The cube will upgrade yellows to legendaries - so getting that DoD is no longer that hard - craft a couple of appropriate Yellow Dagger types - plonk in the cube with some mats and Voila - better chance of getting the DoD than a random drop

Watching pet destruction for minimal effort

Yeah I know, I don't even have a build yet. Still grinding to get to that GR20 :/
Drops are rare. But I got the BiS belt for the vyr archon build, at level fkn 50. *CRY*

Don't cry, you can stick it in the cube in the meantime.

Vhy you go for Vyr build? Surely Delsere should be first priority given what you get as bonus sets?

Also, don't be scared to use the cube to convert yellows to legends for the pieces you need.

Edit: Yeah, those pets are cool but I'm enjoying the hands on style of the Wizard for a change.

Horee crap!

:wtf: :wtf:

Lucky I've been collecting those Vyr pieces.

Seriously though, get the Delsere up and running - that will allow you to farm your Vyr pieces more easily and have fun in the meantime

Must be my pets On the downside, when I'm in an open area the pets sort of all wonder off in different directions, so it takes some learning to control them.

Also, some of the key pieces overlap so it's not a waste.

Overlap with Delsere Build:

The Endless Walk set (Ammy+Ring)
Halo of Arlyse and the Ancient Parthan Defenders

If I remember correctly, I have these in my stash so I'm a gonna play around a bit

Fazulas Improbable Chain,
Chantodo set,
the Swami

Still need:
Obsidian Ring of the Zodiak

Not sure if I have full Vyr's yet though...

Just had a look at the Season 6 Solo Leaderboards - :wtf:

Top 20 are all wizards.

Edit: All seem to be running Firebird though

Methinks you made the right choice

lol!
Yeah I made the right choice for a top ranking, which I'll never get - just seems to be much harder work, is all

Hah! Never say never - well, not for Europe but who knows locally.

Nice thing from what I can see is the BiS optional items are the same for all the sets (with the exception of the belt, weapon for Delsere).

ie.

The Endless Walk set (Travellers Pledge Ammy+ Compass Rose Ring)
Zodiac/Arlyse and the Ancient Parthan Defenders
Fazulas Improbable Chain,
Chantodo set,
the Swami

So it's worth concentrating on getting those items for any of the 3 builds.

Morning
Still need this normal or Ancient Parthan Defenders
Then I need a better weapon ancient, wand or what ever.
Then I need to qube a weapon.
New Amy and a decent soc ring or amy. With out them T10 is not possible for me.

 

[Icarium]

Managed a GR80 at Para 740. Might scrape on to the top 1000 WD's if I can pick up a few more Ancients, and upgrading my existing ancients should add a good 15% to my current DPS.

 

[ooogz]

I watch some videos sometimes on YouTube for build guides etc. The people that make the guides never pick anything up, nor do they even look at what's dropped. So many green beams and nobody cares. Any one know why? As soon as a beam drops, brown or green I pick it up...

Would say that they are focussing on the Video rather than the loot, it would be distracting them while they are discussing the mechanism of the build.
Or it could just be that they are paragon 2000+ and not recording the vid with their season chars? They thus are only looking for very specific gear to drop, or don't really worry as they have the best gear already.

 

[NihilimSA]

Most of the guide videos are made on the Public test realm before the season starts and the legendary drop rates are often multiplied by several factors. You could fill your backpack with legendaries and sets in a single rift run when the drops are like that. All the gear is just temporary until the season starts.

So yes they then just focus on making the videos.

 

[Sinbad]

Ugh, still trying to find the gear I need for the archon build.
Obsidian ring, swami, furnace, halo of arlyse and the travellers amulet.
Oh and Chantodo's set seems to be non-existent

/mumble

Sorry was in a GR solo when you whispered. When I finished you were not around anymore.

So if you see me ask for invite.

Gear is a problem I finally gear wise al Ancient but not optimal.

I will help you were I can.

Nothing has changed in D3.
1) I see lots of wings were do you get.
2) I need to finish my seasons quest. Gear thingy. Don't know were to start. Do I need to have the quest gear on me?
3) RNG still sucks. Were have you seen Ancient armour without sockets. Hells bells wake up Blizzard.
4) I achieved my GR60 solo still plenty time in hand. Which I was not able to do 1 season back.

1. It depends which ones you mean. Some are from pre-orders of different D3 versions only, some from a special version of Overwatch, others are rare drops, others from previous seasons etc; google for a list. The same goes for the pets, you really want at least one to pick up your gold for you, they mostly drop from a special rare goblin, or from specific kills on specific maps.
2. I take it you mean Set Dungeons. For the season early on you need to complete 1 set dungeon, then you need to master a set dungeon. The easiest way is to get a tutorial for a specific gear set, e.g. google d3 marauder set dungeon. You need to have on the set and go somewhere in the world, then you're let in via a portal. Some are a lot more difficult than others though, so you want to pick an easy one for your class.
3. RNG is tough. I'm slightly ahead of you on paragon, but I still need an ancient belt, bracers, pants and shield (I'm just using wrong ancient items for the last 3 and a non-ancient belt).

 

[Urist]

Got a DH shadow mantle with fan of knives thing going over the weekend.
Impale for bosses and fan of knives for crowds and bosses.

Nice for farming. really fast, 1 shot elites and bosses, great fun.
Not so great at grifts, lvl 55 at paragon 350.

 

[musha]

is there a MYBB clan going? Anyone care to drop an invite? I find a ton of time just sitting in game, getting bored at doing Public bounties and running solo speed runs...

Currently playing GEN Monk for GR and Dashing strike build for speed runs and bounties.
Gen monk currently lacking, but finding it the most fun out of the lot at the moment...

Tons of gear still to be replaced, but like I said, playing alone sucks these days
