Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

RIP CotA. Seems like blizzard did internal testing and CotA was beating Bounties and Adventure Mode @ level 70.
People saying RA and/or Core are the only areas not nerfed now since the upcoming hotfix will hit Cath 4.

>Cath 4

But but MUH GRINDING SPOTS.

That feeling when the ranged classes are way more fun than the melee classes. Been leveling my Demon Hunter and I'm loving the class.

The sheer mobility with vault is just awesome, I honestly can't play any other class.

Everything is so terrible.


It looks like for Siegebreaker + Zoltun Kulle, I can't be running Guiding Light. I'm not sure I noticed a difference with Resolve. I think I probably just need to take Near Death Experience. I probably need to take Serenity too so I can completely block the grab, but Intervene or Forbidden Palace have so much more utility for every other situation. It's really just when I mistime my shield for his stomp, ZK drops the ceiling on me while I'm being hit by something else, or I run out of spirit and I'm not in range to attack. Wish they would fix the NDE Health Globe bug. I WANT MORE SHIELD.

On T5, I think I could have shielded everyone though the fog in Ghom Rakanoth and the insect swarms from Maghda. A bit iffy for others on the arcane sentries since they sometimes hit more than once, but I can shield myself through them no problem. I seemed to be able to shield through SK's full set of swings, though I did die at one point when I stopped shielding and walked by accident. I still can't believe Rakanoth basically oneshot me once. Something else must have hit me right before he landed. My shield broke before he hit and I didn't expect it to refresh.

I started as a DH and I just loved it, but I'm struggling at lvl 60, I can't find a build that keeps my hatred regenerating fast enough.

I've found 4 legendaries in a very short amount of time in Act 3, all 4 of them were rings. 2 being the exact same ring!

And I think i've found the absolute worst combination of powers an elite can have against a Barbarian: Molten, Fast, Vortex and Horde. It's absolutely not cool in any way. They suck you in, surround you completely so you are always taking damage from Molten, they are fast so you can't escape to get a breather. and there are so many of them that they just won't die. It's horrible. and of course, if you do manage to kill any of them, they suck you back into the molten explosion, one-shotting you.

Vortex isn't really a problem if you are using a Whirlwind build, they can't displace you while you're spinning and you don't have collision either. What's usually the killer for me is Electrified and Fire Chains which become very very evil when you group up all the mobs around you with Threatening Shout, it's still manageable if I try and hit the packs from the borders so I don't get all the hits from the affixes at once.

Horde is usually happiness for me, with Area Damage, Battle Cry/Bloodshed and Zerk/Slaughter my damage shoots through the roof when there are lots of minions at once. Sometimes fighting two elites at once actually goes faster than just one at a time.

You'll hate Waller/Jailer/Thunderstorm packs on Torment+ so very much. Possibly Frozen as well.

Try Multishot/Suppression Fire and Preparation/Punishment. You're welcome.

I did, in fact it was the first one I've tried, but I just feel its lacking something I don't know what tho, using Elemental Arrow/Frost seems to be really good, but I ran out of hatred often.

I've recently gotten back into this game after months of not playing it at all. I already have a Barb and WD at 60 and a DH at 40, so I've been running around with a wizard. I've noticed quite a few SouthPerricans have wizards, so what sort of builds are you using? Currently, I am focusing mostly on disintegrate and Blizzard as my primary damage dealing skills, but I am curious to see what other builds are out there.

First two level 60 legendaries. And they're useful too!

My build changes on if I'm solo or Group. Both are Disintegrate based, but my solo setup doesn't use a AP generator, while my group one sometimes does, depending on the Torment difficulty.

Solo T3 build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wi...XYZ!bcZaZZ
Group play is more or less the same, but there are some possible changes I do depending on what we do.

Archon (Improved Archon) -> Spectral Blade (Thrown Blade)
Teleport (Wormhole) -> Slow Time (Time Warp) / Archon (Improved Archon)
Storm Armor (Power of the Storm) -> Energy Armor (Prismatic Armor)
Glass Cannon -> Unstable Anomaly

paragon points are confusing, what should I be focusing on?

I find that Main Stat + Resist All + Critical Damage + Area Damage is a pretty solid set up for any character.

Movement speed is also nice if you can achieve the 25% speed softcap through Paragon Points.

What gear slots can i stack elemental damage on trying to decide if lightning or cold dmg

Until I get a new set of equipment for RoF build (particularly the legendaries), I have to stick with Disintegrate for a long time, and I can only play T3 at the most. If I switched some of my gear to cold damage boosts I can go for RoF, but only up to T2. Lack of APoC and yet having Disintegrate bonus rolls make for a hard time. Maybe I can hope for resource cost reduction......

Oh, Pox Faulds is wonderful, and I love my Gladiator Gauntlets. 1.5-3k per massacre (illusions and other non-EXP earning mobs count).

Hadriel

What you need is a kridershot >;3

Got a little bored waiting for the expansion so I decided to do some hardcore. Got my first level 60 there and finished all the kill achieves. Wanted to get them done before the level cap raise and then needing to regear.
Showing diablo achieve as he was the hardest.

Any suggestions on new grinding spots? now that CotA and Cath 4 got nerfed

Only real "EXP" spots left are Royal Audience and Core of Arreat, but that'll change real soon anyways with RoS due to Bounties and Adventure Mode.

EDIT:
Some guy on Reddit did EXP testing over on the AU servers, as they haven't gotten recent hotfixes yet, and he came to the conclusion that the 100% EXP buff might not be working as intended.
