So what route are you gonna do?
I'm gonna get a group of 4
Do rifts
Get to 70 (2 pieces of free set)
Kill zolton kulle in T2 in a group (2 pieces more)
Then do a T4 or T6 rift in a group to get the key and unlock Greater rift 20,
Split and do solo GR20 to get the final 2 pieces of the set.
Then get a group and do bounties to get mats so I can start extracting legendary powers for the cube
Also do the Lut socks trick for barbarian, get a fresh barb,lvl it to 8 and spend blood shards on him gambling boots,because at that level the only legendary boots are Lut socks,that I need to cube for my main barb
Here's the updated spread sheet on drop rates for 2.4

WHAT CLASS SHOULD I ROLL??
>>128633264
Female Wizard
>>128633264
Female Demon Hunter
>>128633264
NOTHING
Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter, Wizard, Barb
out of those which one should I roll?
>>128634908
wd is okay if you want to play a lon build, other than that he's pretty similar to s4
wizards and dhs will propably be the dps in groups both are looking fine
barb will be the support in groups and ik/raekor for solo
>season starts at 4pm
>I have to be out at exactly 4pm
ffs
>>128635123
4pm? It's 5pm Pacific. Unless you are in Hawaii or something.
In the build spread sheet what does the 'Tier' column mean?
>>128636107
GR. I don't know if it's supposed to be average or highest; either way a bigger number is better.
'Startbuild' is for when you're starting out with the free set.
>>128634908
>Demon Hunter, Wizard
Can't go wrong with these

Scratch that, I'm retarded. Didn't look up.
Please rape my face with a rake.
Looks like I don't get to play for 14 hours.
>>128638718
I've played both of those, don't like the artstyle in either, don't like the favouring of leftclick only builds in either
>>128639280
>tfw diablo 3 art style is also not great
It could have been so much better. Fuck.
Is stutter step dead for Hammer Crusader? I was really enjoying that build until stutter stepping with Mr Yan became the only way to play, but the new Hammer Jammers seem way better.
>>128639335
It's called orb walking young kid. Remember that.
>>128639329
I don't mind because it's at least highly readable, PoE and GD get too dark at times or too muddy, making it hard to follow

What should I reroll?
>>128641074
use a reroll calculator or spreadsheet for that
>>128641123
If I'm m6 and I don't have 37% CDR for 100% up time on vengeance should I accept the poor damage roll and reroll aoe damage to CDR or just reroll the damage anyways?
>>128641074
>Damage Range.
Dex and %dmg are OK. Area Damage is now working properly and is a good stat to have if you dont need the CDR or gloves, shoulders.
>>128641713
Thanks for the input
What will be the most desired class for groups?
>>128641836
Getting Area Damage in rings instead of mainstat and Area Damage in Mainhand, Offhand, Shoulders, Gloves is really really desirable now.
>>128641928
Anything that supports
So Barb and Monk I guess
>>128642036
Do you think that support barb will be in short supply?
>>128642136
Not him but you should never be a beta faggot support bitch, especially as a barb. Fuck that gay shit.
>>128642036
>monk
kys
why would a support barb be most in demand when they are easy to gear and everyone will have one?
real answer is we don't know but a crazy good dps for one of the top specs has to be hardest to find and most desirable in general

>LoN is finally a way to not be forced into sets
>You need full Ancients to use it
What's the fucking point? Why not make it half as effective for normal legendaries or something? It might as well be a fucking set when you need full ancients.
>>128642402
Yo are we making groups for fast s5 leveling?I'm not playing barb this season though.
>>128642292
play fem barb, roll can't be wrong
So the new inna's looks kinda interesting...but what are you even supposed to do? Spam Cyclone Strike for pitiful amounts?
>>128642659
Dunno i might come back, got bored with PTR once they deleted my characters every patch fix
Haven't really played much other than melee DH yet
>>128642739
I'm playing DH for the new season too. Good thing I wasn't dumb enough to get burned out on the ptr and properly waited for S5 like a good boy so I can go all out.
>>128632948
Wait how do I get free set items?
>>128642871
You get them playing season
LVL 70 2 pieces
Kill zolton kulle in T2 2 pieces
do a solo GR20 2 pieces
They give it to you via mail, only one char.
>>128642871
he basically just told you
>>128643212
>only one char
Woahwowahwowah, only on ONE character ONCE?
>>128643270
Yes only one char per season,but you get the set when you open the chests that they send to you,so you can save them for another char if you want and then open them with the class that you want
>>128643416
This is stupid and shit. Why do it in the first place?
>>128643437
To accelerate the grinding on the first character so it isn't as boring.
>>128643437
I'm only telling you how it works,not that it's retarded to do it that way
Post your S4 achivements
>>128642716
You can go swk/inna or you can go inna with shenlongs and 2piece raiment.
Monk is in a pretty bad state at the moment. The only viable builds are the Season4 Uliana since Az'Turrasq got buffed and any Shenlongs Variant (usually paired with Inna and 2pc Raiment). The Uliana is propably able to do mid 70s while the Shenlongs can do low 80s. Monk is virtually unchanged this patch. SWK got reworked but it still is bad while Inna is in a weird state at the moment. I'm afraid I don't know how monks fair in groups atm. Heal and SC monk both got nerfed. Currently the monks in the 4man leaderboards are pre patch(so Heal+SC).
>>128643671
Post fem barb feet m8
>tfw wake up with carpal tunnel

>>128643801

I can't decide between dh and crusader.

>>128645090
crusader if you just wanna chill and play with 1 hand without even looking at the screen
I'm going to play sader.
Will it befun?
>>128644972
Fug i guess i gotta roll a fem dh then
>>128645090
what you gonna go as a sader?
i really really want to do thorns again because ive missed it but the gameplay looks kinda eh.
>>128645136
I don't know, it was my first character and using blessed shield was really fun.
On the other hand I never had a dh so maybe I make one of those.
https://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/20420202803
>boohoo
>>128645217
yeah last dh i had was i think season 1 or maybe before seasons were a thing and i wanna try out that new knife build
>>128645248
I will never understand why people don't just play fucking season.
>>128645248
>forced to play seasons because of one(1) extra stash tab
I've never played Wizard before, I want to for s5 but I'm worried im gonna be garbage at it. Is it easy to pick up? Play DH and Monk mostly.
>>128645248
these are the type of people that get upset when other people have fun, or like movies they don't like.
>don't like seasons
>don't play seasons
pretty simple right? no. they think everyone else should cater specifically to them and play non-season so they have people to play with.
>>128644749
Heading out to do my shopping now. I plan on loading up on bananas, peanuts and carrots as snacks, high nutritional value and low water content so I don't piss every 30 minutes. Gonna also get me some jerky, some kind of legumes (probably beans) and falafels for dat dere protein. Finally, for drinks, I'm gonna stock up on green tea and water (using bottles with huge necks to waste less time drinking) and 2-3 monsters just in case.

you could just try it out and if you enjoy continue playing it as you're finding it fun.
>>128645248
I swear, people that post on the Battle.net forums don't even play the game and just go there to complain.
>>128645248

>>128646126
shitbirds is 2nd best though
>>128646271
They are currently bottom tier right now.
>>128646126
At least your whole class isn't designed around doing nothing like Crusaders. This is the most retarded thing I've ever seen. Why the fuck couldn't they make a Blessed Shield set?

I know which ones I'd rather be racing against.
Suspect these people that are going HC are from PoE.
Not memeing lads, D3 servers are pretty bad.
Played HC D3 all the way until S4, only ever died due to server related issues.
Few months back when the battle.net servers were getting ddos'd and d3, wow, sc2 and hs kept going down, like half of the HC community died - Forums were awash with babbies crying.
Genuinely not worth it, especially if you don't have at least 3 other people to play with.

GRift progression. whats the point of playing seasons now if you aren't going to be competitive about it. AFAIK season exclusive legendaries don't exist anymore.

Mate you're going to quit 2-4 weeks in, you won't even end up in the top 500 by season end.
Hardcore "competition" doesn't exist in Diablo 3, literally everyone who plays to compete plays sc season.
HC D3 is just scrubs who want easy ranking due to no competition.

I use it for the nostalgia factor anon,makes me remember old times.... better times.
>start putting caldassan's on gear
>not even halfway done and shitting on previous farm grift record
Helps with not having to get immaculate rolls on everything to start doing well, but everyone with great gear is just going to be doing better now anyway, so what's the point?

Fun to start again, & it's what everyone else is playing
Competing in an arpg is silly

Roll HC this season and try to get as high as possible before it ends. Then come back to me and say that.

the xp in greaters is reduced and by going higher it may balance out
more drops = more fun
when you can slam 3k worth of mainstat on the paragon value after 800 has much less of an impact
some item slots may be best without having mainstat as one of the rolls since you can slap some on later and when you get more stat the % ones become more valuable

No thanks.
You're the #1 elite diablo 3 player though, I'm sure you can do it.

Thanks mate. I'm pretty badass, thanks for noticing.
Also I only play HC, that makes me better than you. Have i mentioned that I only play HC? Because I only play HC.
so what's the fastest leveling for groups now? bounties, rifts?
