cracking down on "permanant invincibility" builds with CDR and stuff

Will suck for Witch Doctor, especially Jade builds that rely on SW'ing in, harvesting, and getting the cooldown reduction from Grave Injustice to reduce SW cooldown... poopy

Meh, just takes a more strategic approach. Hell, with new Ice Climbers + Countess Julia's ammy, you have NEAR invulnerability from the biggest threats most champs have anyway. As it stands, my barb cannot be rooted at all and gets healed by arcane beams.
The only imminently dangerous affix (that comes to mind) is thorns. Molten isn't a threat until it goes boom, and can be avoided with leap, sprint, WW, furious charge, etc. |

I think the reason why perma- or near-perma-invincibility is popular is for 50+ GRs where everything basically one-shots you, regardless of attack type

Yep. And in those cases, it comes down to bad game mechanics. I know they made a dev post about it a few weeks ago, but c'mon. The only way to stop player progress is by inflating stats so high it is impossible to survive..... cheap/lazy way out IMO.

Had a "56 killed with one blow" massacre thing on my Monk when I started my EP build... chain reaction explosions are super duper satisfying

I have one
Shitty that it has to be WEAPON only, but w/e. Still managed to level a new character to 70 across 3 RL days. Didn't count in-game time it took. Pretty effortless anymore. Think I wore Cain's set with a ruby till mid-late 50's. Really not helping me get to work. Just wanna read/watch stuff and/or play games. |

Level your gem to 25 and you will no longer be concerned that it takes a weapon socket

I'll level YOUR gem to 25!!!!
Seriously though. I think I am down to 52 regular rift fragments. I have just as many (if not more) grift stones though, because I hate timed things and the trial is dumb. If I half-ass it for MOAR levels, the loot is shit. If I give it my all, I get pwned by things. Feel like items only dropping from the guardian is dumb. |

Honestly I mostly just do T6 runs. On my monk I can clear them consistently around 5 minutes or so, without really trying terribly hard. I only push GRifts when I want to upgrade gems now really.
Supposedly "GR35" is the sweetspot for maximimizing drops/XP and whatever, but I can't clear it fast enough to make it worthwhile. I'll stick to T6 until I get a Torch/Furnace. |

Despite having (what I think) is great gear, I still cannot pass T4 Maybe it is time I begin consulting online "builds" or whatever.

Bleh, all the builds are based around perma builds via CDR%.....

Pieced together a laptop from parts @ work and going to see how well it handles DIII Starter. If it works well, I may end up picking it up and/or wow or something, maybe.

Made a Crusader to test the Gem of Ease rank 26, level 1 on T6 I leveled to 56 in less than 10 minutes. Can't do anymore than that since I only had gear after I decided to stop and running with only a weapon and shield isn't sufficient enough on T6, so I dropped to T2/3. Was still funny getting 6+ levels per kill.

Frankenstein Laptop runs D3 decently (fuck yo grammar).
Have to use a cooling dock though, the 1 fan doesn't do the trick. |

Don't have it yet..... Going to mess around on starter a bit more to see how things hold up. The rate it heats up is pretty bad and I'd hate to buy it and have it poop on me a week later

Best friend is letting me use his wife's account that she never uses. I'll add you and Berg to her acct for now.
Glad he did this, wanted to test it @ high level to see how it handles. |

I love how two of the bigger quality-of-life changes in 2.2 PTR ended up being bugs. Progress globes on elite packs and rifts instant-closing after speaking to Orek. Damn you, Blizzard.

Season 2 will end April 5th
Patch 2.2 will go live April 7th Season 3 will begin April 10th At least that is the tentative plan. Pretty pumped for it. Lots of good stuff coming this patch. Sucks that Jade build is useless now with the Spirit Walk nerf but I've enjoyed the Dart build much more anyway. Might try my hand at Hardcore for season 3. 50/50 on the idea |

2.3 patch sounds like it's adding some really cool stuff. A new item called Kanai's Cube is being added... very similar to Horadric Cube from D2. From the sounds of it, you can basically extract legendary affixes from items and use them as passives? Or something. Idk. Sounds fucking sweet.
Getting rid of Rift Trials as well. And more Torment levels. Sweet. |

Patch will be going up on PTR soonish... probably won't be live for a couple months.
They did make it seem like PC and console would be getting it released very closely to each other |
