1st for dead game
Second for power creep
Wizard or DH?
>>128310776
>>128310776
Either. Unless you want to play a LoN build, then pick DH
>>128310951
Its way harder to play both classes in season5. You need full ancient gear to be able to use the new Cube recipe. I cant decide, DMO looks cool as well as LoN wizard build, but I wouldn't mind playing any of the DH Builds since they are all high grift viable.
>>128311186
The new Cube recipe offsets the need to have full ancient gear until you find your full ancient gear.
What's the dankest sader build for party play this season? Roland's sweep?
>>128312137
Probably shotgun or condemn
>>128312289
While interesting, pretty sure both builds fall behind even invoker for group play. Poking around seems like LoN stuff would be good but that's a bit of a stretch for a fresh seasonal character.Patch when
Really not sure if I can be arsed to play season, I got so many mats and money on my ns that I need to burn through
And it's not like I really need 1 extra stash tab
>>128312815
Yep thorns is overpowered but I'm a man of fun myself so I'm gonna try experimenting a build that isn't a shoehammered set playstyle
Might be playing a witch doctor this season. Is helltooth the best build for them these days?
>>128313478
No, it's Jade set. But there's also a very strong LoN carnevil build if you're into that
>>128313478
a nice guide of everything related to season 5, including builds

Is botting still a thing?
>>128316280
As long as you don't go up the ladder or stream while botting, it should be okay.
Is the game shit or are D3 forums cancer ?
>>128318042
pretty much both
will solo be viable for casual leveling and grifitng, or is it still group or gtfo
ww@
Yo can someone spoonfeed me on when the new patch and season hit and what should I be looking for? What are streamers "preparing" for? I forgot how to play this game.

how hard will lon bombardment crusader be to gear?
>>128323803
Probably you, I don't know. I only play sader and WD, but a friend that mains DH is pretty hyped because his favorite set was buffed.
And, honestly, I'm ok with that.
>>128323929
best waifu
i didn't play the entire season but for a very long time in the start lets say 65 was a good place for speeds
what will that be this season? i'm thinking something like 80 at least?
what will it be this season?
Is there a good Wizard build in 2.4 that uses Spectral Blades?
>took 5 seasons to make thorns viable outside of a bug
is this game worth playingon xbox?
>>128326989
>no seasons
not really. And I'm someone who got it on the xbox too. It's fine for zoning out on the couch, but the PC version is just way superior.
where is the poll for which classes we are playing?
>>128324883
Thorns were never seen as viable because everyone builds glass cannons, being a "tank" is laughed at, gotta kill fast!
Speed demon shit gets old, no wonder everyone bots, and those who don't complain about bots.
where's the fucking patch :[
>>128329223
Friday, derp
>>128329289
it's already out on Xbox, patch is later today for everyone
unless you meant seasons
>>128329369
People still play non-seasonal Diablo?
>>128329449
Now that items aren't bound to seasons I won't be any more. The extra stash space isn't that important to me desu senpai
>>128329449
>playing season
Diablo doesn't have long enough draw time to make that 3 months worth a shit, just got the items later anyway.
Now there are no seasonal items, unless you want to get on conquest for a tab, which isn't a fix to stash space, just need a fucking character specific stash added on top of what we have.
if you don't GET seasons you are literally

Best waifu is monk lady
>>128340554
the best build uses them as a generator and for arcane dynamo and regeneration. It also uses delsere's magnum opus and arcane orb with arcane orbit rune. You basically spam blades and use arcane orbit when you get 5 dynamo stacks.
>>128340701
Still sounds great, thanks.
Probably go monk, gotta use it as much as I can while it's still a good class before they nerf it into oblivion back to previous iterations.
who here ready to s5 for a week and drop d3 till next patch again
PATCH IS DROPPING IN NA NOW!!!!!!
Wait seasonal items removed?
I can just play normal forever now and not be cucked out of new legendaries?
Fuck waiting till friday to play then
>>128338758
rollan
>>128342045
Seasonal items are fucking gone, yes, they realized no one gave a shit about seasons with Paragon in play.
Maybe if they put your paragon into your season and got rid of that ladder more might've done season for exclusives.
>>128342257
Well shit, just read the patch notes. Guess I'll start my mandatory "play d3 every patch for 1 week and quit again" today instead of friday.
0-4 Fem barb
5-9 wizard
>>128342461
Best choice.

>>128342535
I know, I always end playing with best waifu.
So, now the only difference between season and non-season characters is that your character just stops being seasonal when the season ends?
What is even the point of playing with a seasonal character?
>>128343705
>What is even the point of playing with a seasonal character?
Extra stash space.
Leaderboards.
Fresh start.
>>128343705
the stash
>new d3 patch
so how's this shit work. are all the new legendaries and whatnot gonna be available immediately today for non seasonals and the season won't start until friday or is all that shit gonna be locked until friday for non season too?
finally a diablo general. What you niggas playing this season?
>>128345429
I want to make a Canadian but I kinda also want to make a Demon Hunter since I never had one.
>>128345771
I mean Crusader not canadian.
>>128345429
Bab because my old one died.
EU got update, does that mean we might be getting it early
>>128343804
>>128343842
If you get on the conquest board you get a stash tab.
>>128329540
>items aren't bound to seasons
What? You mean I can play non-seasonal and transfer the drops to the new season? What's the fucking point?
>>128349405
>this retarded
There aren't seasonal legendaries anymore, dipshit.
Didn't take long to get this shit.
>>128349502
Calm your tits, bitch. You'll spoil the milk.
What are the fun builds this patch?
>>128350395
>anything bliz wants you to play

>>128351251
Fem barb, right?
>>128345429
crusader for the tank fantasy and the no brain playstyle
Can I get the new guaranteed sets for every class now, or do I have to wait until the season starts Friday?
how do I do the set dungeons?

oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

In the new area I followed this ghost and got a legendary shield that's only good for transmog. Afterward, it floated off to what looks like the Tristram cathedral off the balcony. Is there more there? I can't find anything about it.
>>128365113
new area being the royal quarters.
Future OPs, please link http://d3resource.com/difficulties.png instead of the current difficulty overview.
It's always being kept up-to-date by the original author.
I last played in season 3. Is Crusader a little more fun now? When i last tried the class it took 10 years to kill anything.
>3.81 GB
Patch is live on eu
tfw I'm the only one online in /vg/ clan
>>128367828
I might join but I would have to leave Kripp's guild.
Reminder that playing non-seasons is for plebs only
Is bullying allowed on this general?
>>128345429
I really enjoyed monk last season but then I found out the best monk builds this season are basically the same stuff I played last season.
So now I don't know what the hell.
so with the set reworks what are some things to try out as a WD?
it looks like with the new weapons and set reworks that jade is going to be quite strong
Is there any dual wield class?
What events/locations were in Greyhollow Island when you explored?
>crazy druid and his tree buddies
>forest prayer with tons of bats
>two-floor cave full of naga knockoffs
>survivor's den but there weren't any survivors in it, just tons of spooky skeletons
>>128365113
It's the fucking Stormshield
A month ago I tried seeing if there was a /d3g/ over here, and couldn't find it. And now I see it as im about to head to /wowg/
Do you guys just come around for a week after a new patch/season starts then go away or something?
>>128380006
Yes.
I didnt play the ptr for guarding my hype for the patch day release.
I'm playing right now my barb,is Inmortal king still good?
Fuck this Wastes Barb dungeon. Just fuck it.
It was bad enough when you had to rend 10 things 3 times, but now it's 5. You gotta fucking run around without getting hit a single time, group shit up, rend it, it all dies pretty much instantly. Repeat 4 times.
Would be easier with lower damage, but then you can't kill all the fucking elites in time. It really makes me wonder if they tried this before pushing it out.
Did they add a recipe to upgrade legendaries to ancients, or I still need to RNG reforge?
>>128382926
Reforge still
>>128382443
I've given up, waiting for TH.
>>128382443
Use ground stomp pull, super easy, also git gud.
so I got on my firebird wizard to do the set dungeon
shit dies way to fast for me to do the dot objective
>>128319793
i believe patch has landed(at least on ps4), and season begins either 15th or sometime within the next 7 days or so.
>>128379301
dayum
>>128386225
The season begins the 15th.
>>128383481
Don't equip a weapon
DH Monk or Barb for solo this season
haven't played since RoS launch
Roll
i give it two weeks before they open stash tabs to everyone and play the "we listened to your feedback" card even though everyone was telling them what a blunder it is for the entire length of ptr.
to add insult to injury consoles get 5 buyable tabs from the get go. i dont get why they keep trying to force seasons, they're fun and people who find them fun are going to play them anyways and whether its people playing regular or season its still people playing the game, besides conqueror should have a better reward. why blizzard keeps trying to pigeonhole people into seasons by gating qol things is really weird.
>>128388578
Fuck it why not, I'm undecided
>>128388578
>>128388578
>>128389187
i'm replacing wd with dh, played the shit out of wd last season and i'm burned out
>>128388578
>1% chance to get demon hunter
your picture is shit
Odds - Play Crusader on nonseason right now
Evens - Wait til Friday to start a femwiz
0 - Start and beat Witcher 3, then play season
>>128388654
>i dont get why they keep trying to force seasons
>to add insult to injury consoles get 5 buyable tabs from the get go
that's precisely the reason. they have investors to pander to. they don't care very much about what you think, you'll eat whatever they shit on your plate.
>>128388654
console doesn't have seasons, so they put all the tabs in at once... cause no seasons to unlock them.

The ONLY fucking thing I want in Diablo 3 is for Blessed Shield to be viable again. I thought it was finally going to be with the new items and they fucking blew it by making it worse than a boring as fuck thorns set.
What in the hell were they thinking?
>>128392245
Ah shit, I only played D3 on an xbox360 and was going to play Crusader so I could throw my shield around all the time.
What the fuck do I play now?
>>128392245
but Blessed shield has the worst cast noise next to pig sticker and tyrael
I've spent 10 minutes on this new island and I'm already sick of the dying noise the little tree niggers make
It's very long and grates on my ears
>>128393836
Ctrl+S
Is getting specific weapons easier now with upgrading? Or will I stay go 1000+ hours without a woe? Last time I played was season 1/2, dont remember. Played around 1000h wizard without ever seening it
>>128396581
the cube makes it pretty easy with upgrading a rare wand but it doesn't really matter because it needs to be ancient and that still takes a while
>>128396995
Is it better to keep upgrading items or reroll it once I get it?
How do melee drops work for DH now? Cant login until friday. Do all melee weapons drop now? Or only the dh specific ones? What about upgrading?
>>128398354
I don't remember the math but I think it's pretty close, at any rate reforging costs 5 of each bounty mat and that's really annoying so I just keep upgrading rares
>>128324883
What did you do to get such retardedly high damage on thorns?
Been a while since I played, how are warriors these days?
Are wizards still the top class?
I'm too dumb to figure out how snapshotting works on my WW barb.
Thank god the new season will bring something else and hopefully bury the WW build forever.
Gonna play the game for the first time later today, any quick recommendations on stuff like what difficulty to start off on or what stuff to avoid?
Most likely going to play the not-paladin or monk
>>128402490
>just start playing barbarian after being a monk forever
>They kill the easiest build to play
Welp. Guess I have to read.
>>128403021
Go monk, experiment with torment levels see which ones fit you the best. Check out Quin69's videos on youtube for everything related to monks. He's playing monks exclusively and you'll get all the info you need there.
>>128388578
Rolling but swapping saders with dh's
Barbarian or crusader?
>Crusaders finally get a proper thorns build with an actual dedicated set
>Hack, Sanguinary Vambraces, and Vo'Toyias Spiker- all thorns themed items- don't interact with the set at all and you're better off with other weapons/armor in those slots
Oh well, I'll take what I can get.
>>128389187
Sure why not, rolling
Is Raekor back, boys?
>>128388578
Change dh to wiz
So what's going to be the most op class/build this season
So, the crazy guy in the woods is the high cleric son, which was supposed to kill Sara but killed the "god" nereza, therefore transforming the isle in what it is now. Anything in missing?
>>128411231
It's the top build for solo grift, right now
>>128388578
Rollan
>>128403021
read that season 5 spreadsheet it has most of the tricks
>>128388654
i thought a stash tab was a column with 5 rows or tabs then i saw in a short video that you only get 1 row or tab even though it unlocks at the top as a new column
guess we will get 2 of those in seasons but still gay since one is gonna be used for duplicate gems now
How shit are crusaders this season?

>>128396581
unless i'm mistaken on the seasons
in s3 the power creeped up and we started running higher greater rifts fast which leads to more shards and drops
in s4 they normalized some of the drop rates, there are still rare drops but it should be a bit more balanced across the board and once again the power creeped up
s5 might be the biggest power boost ever so all that increases and you can get something like 400 shards for a quick greater? also should have way more drops at the end of each one
>>128396995
this too look into the cube recipes it was a great addition
>>128388578
I'll play Wizard anyway
>d3g is back

So what's the fotm this season? Is group play still 50 times more efficient than solo play?

If you want to play support for groups go barb is the only support that is guaranted in the 4 and 3 group meta.
Also post fem barbs.
>>128416691

Is nig doctor any good this patch? Cant decide between nignog and saderqt

Loser Arkansas
>>128422160
and when you rebirth it for the season it will keep the name, class, gender and playtime and will be completely stripped and reset to zero
>>128422513
it's for people who get limited on slots, say you always play a DH and want to keep your playtime on that particular character, you can rebirth it for the new season something like that

Are the 2.4 guides on rhykker's youtube the fotm specs for season 5? I want the fastest way possible to decide what to play next season. Other youtubers with good guides maybe?
Can you use wings in season if you complete set dungeons on non season?

No thanks, now go back to your endless cuckfest you virgin neet
New diablo 3 player. My buddy and I have been playing. We are level 3. Myquestion is if I played more and level up then can we still play? Do the enemies scale to his level? Or is it like borderlands where where a couple levels under gets you killed. Thanks in advance
What's the reason for the prepatch to exist? Nothing carries over, no rewards, no anything.
>>128428276
level 35
>>128428329
People play non-seasonal shit.
>>128428376
>>128428276
The way it works on PC is whoever makes the game determines the monster level. If you're a lot higher than he is have him make the game and you join it. Everything will be his level and you can speed him through it.
>>128428276
You can play together but the difficulty will be set to the level of the party leader (the one who opened the game).Except on console, there you're scaled to the level of the highest leveled player
>>128428574
Thanks anon
>>128428615
Thats wierd it works different on PC vs Consoles

Why would anyone play non seasonal? I really don't get it, why would you skip all the fun of leveling and the initial gearing up just to start the rat maze early with over 1k paragon levels?
>>128428814
