Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

Progress! So close to top 1000 Wizards!
I swapped out Bane of the Powerful in favor of Zei's Stone of Vengeance for GR31+ and the difference is definitely noticeable.

FINALLY got my TnT this evening. The dps jump is noticeable. I'm at 2.16 BP right now, waiting on either an Etrayu or an RG for my Buriza (preferably a good Etrayu). T6 is now a joke, and I'm slowly working my way up in GR's. Now that I have almost all of my gear, min/maxing is going to be a pain in the plantain.

Finally made it onto the solo leaderboards for Crusader!



I have been experimenting with a new amulet that replaces strength with the Smite gem. Seems to have boosted my clear time quite a bit.

 Current state of my LQ Barb

Recently found this beauty of an amulet, it's a small DPS drop (lost like 2%) even considering the CDR over my other amulet but the amount of time enemies stay stunned is just amazing. On T6 most elites die before they can ever use Frozen/Arcane Enchanted since they never leave the stun.

3x3s with Leap/Death from Above + 1x4s with Ground Stomp/Wrenching Smash, 44.8% CDR. Add the 24% bonus duration from Dovu and it's just insane.

I find it somewhat disappointing how majority of my D3 friends, the ones who are very active in Season 1, have rerolled to a DH. At the start, every class, minus WD, was being used by them, but now most of them are playing DH. I understand DH are very strong right now, but if you have to reroll to the top class just to have fun, I don't know what to say honestly.

Working on getting ahkan + dat condemn shield so i can run around for funs xD
witching hour still eludes my grasp =(
Finally rolled 10% elite damage on my new xbow though

Funny. I was considering rolling a WD for a Season character because all I really want are the achievements and WD seems like a lazy safe way. DH's heavy resource costs is what drives me away from enjoying the class as much. Cluster Arrow without a Cindercoat, enough said. Yet I'm well aware they scale insanely well with gear, especially M6.

You just don't know how to appreciate the finer things in life.

Like being a better pet class than the WD?

Will use this whenever i break blackthornes I guess

At least WD pets are being super buffed soon, so that's nice.

Don't look at me like that man, I've been a DH since the very beginning!

I'm talking about the seasonal players man!
Granted most of the rerollers are my WoW friends.

can't help it if i rolled what turned out to be the flavor of the month. Though all the classes are pretty fun

Whelp. A couple days and already I missed out on sweet changes like this. The only question is how much damage reduction it'll be. I've been using my WD for GRifts. Highest I've attempted is Tier 20, but the consistent DPS helps in completing the rifts within a reasonable amount of time. Also helps that I get to use just yellow rings on WD so I can get choice stats and easily socket them for the stupid good legendary gems. I'm probably going to switch back to Crusader again if I can't get a single pet related gear upgrade by Paragon 250.

Hopefully, they know what they're doing because otherwise the pets will either be tanky and do no damage or glass cannon. Player toughness is pretty worthless as it is in high GRs since everyone just avoids things. I just want more variety in WDs so I can do more than Pets or Jade Harvester, especially now that Horrify's armor buff was nerfed.

I've been reading over those proposed changes since yesterday, and I STILL can't help but think it's worthless. Pet Doctor will not be a viable build until pets either have their toughness scale with GR difficulty, or they revert the Enforcer gem. It makes me angry that I can't comfortably go anywhere close to GR30 on my WD, but I can cheese 31+ on my DH simply because pets die and sentries don't.

It's similar with Wizard too. I just throw down Hydra and Blizzard (and sometimes Black Hole) and go places, especially with the "Vengeance" legendary gem.
I'm still amazed at Alkaizer getting to GR41 on his Barb.

The higher rifts are all about rng density / conduit shrine! Not saying Alkaizer is a pretty crazy player but that's the way it is.

All classes seem to have one set ( except barb maybe?) that excels over anything else by a longshot. For WD it seems to be jade harvester?

Got some real good luck going into 37. Great affixed elites / mob types / density / boss
