I thought in this patch it doesn't matter too much what class you roll? I was thinking Demon Hunter, although I'm really tryhard so if people in here collectively agree it's shit I don't want to roll it

Decided to go with Monk actually, looks the most fun to me.
I heard going to the lvl 3 halls of agony is the best way to lvl up early on, any other tips?

wife and I hit 10:45 GR61 2 man hardcore seasonal which put us at #365 for the season. I think the top200 dream is a possibility. we still have a lot of room to grow on our characters.

I want to get top200 on crusader solo (currently like #380), top 200 2man (#365) and maybe I'll try top 200 monk solo as well. I know top200 isn't super impressive but it's a reasonably difficult but attainable goal as a casual (only PL483).

What is everyone else goal each season? Do you guys try to aim for something or just play until you're bored of the new sets/items? Also, does anyone know if Taeguk or Pain Enhancer is better for HOTA build barb in 2 man? I tried lurking the leader boards and it seemed pretty split 50/50 on which gem they used.

Sick! :O

I started playing last week and ended up taking an extended (4 day) weekend off from work to play the game. Rolled a demon hunter and a buddy of mine power leveled me to 70 and let me leech some grifts for starter gear.

Fast forward 7 days and I'm doing decently well. Paragon 512, currently fishing for ancient nats, especially the weapon. My UE set is coming together very nicely. Found an ancient yangs yesterday which boosted my crits from 500mil to sometimes 2.5billion, which is CRAZY. I realized though that UE6 is great for speedfarming, but if I want to push grifts and get top 200 solo DH this season (even though I started a month late...) I need to invest in acquiring ancient nats. Going to start pushing 60+ grifts once I have an ancient nats set complete, or atleast an ancient weapon. Thinking i'll go the lightning route. So far I've only been able to clear a 53 solo with my UE6, but I attribute that to poor optimization on my current gear.

My goals for now:
Rift until my fingers bleed
Complete Ancient Nats
Optimize UE6
Push for top 200 on solo leaderboards.

Monk is super sweet and versatile. You can be the XP whore, Support/Healer, Hybrid , DPS, or Speed Farmer, it's great. I personally would just ask someone in the guild for a power level. It should only take 20 minutes or so to get you 70.

As far as lv3 halls, it's debatable. If you get good / decent rifts, rifting should beat it, if you get bad rifts, halls 3 would have been better. I personally just rift now to level if it's the start of the season. Anything past the first week of the season, I get a powerlevel lol.

If you can do Adventure mode, that's probably the best way to level up so you have a ready supply of mats to craft those lvl 70 legendaries.

I did it on Story mode because I wanted to see all the side-quests, lore, ect, so I'm not sure if that's a requirement to unlocking adventure mode or not.

Also, look slike RoS just went on sale for $20, hope you got it! If not, ask CS for a refund and they'll give you the difference (they did that for me when I bought it).

Adventure mode is available for new players in Season 4. I started playing last night but only had time to get to lvl 8

I did like 3/4 of the story mode when the game came out and thought it was boring. End game stuff sounds way more interesting so I'm just doing adventure mode.

@Jer/crms I'm not against getting power leveled but aren't there a ton of items/materials I would be missing out on if I don't level normally?
