Also heavily depends on what difficulty you're playing on. Right after season starts people can get to T1+ with decent lvl 70 gear and the properly optimized builds. Sitting on anything below that for a while to get some gear will really slow your paragon down. But also on HC you can't just ramp up the difficulty and risk dying. For more casual players it isn't really the most important end-all-be-all thing to worry about. Going out of your way to farm paragon with subpar gear (with +exp, etc), a build you don't like, or running with pubs you don't know, is probably not worth it over just enjoying yourself however you prefer. But that's my bias, since I fall into that group lol | ||

By quests do you mean bounties or the actual campaign because the campaign is a lot slower. | ||

I got really lucky and crafted a pair of ancient Hallowed Defenders on my Season 4 Monk within 10 tries. Results are atypical, but needless to say that catapulted me quite a bit so if you feel like gambling you can do that. I also crafted a Sage's Set to help with Death's Breath farming, while my friend did a Cain's set to help with Xp grinding. With the added logic that Legendaries > Rares. But I don't think that's a great use of your mats early on and probably won't do that next season (lvl 70 rares are basically free to craft and are close enough in power imo). Plus if you play seasons you'll get free set items via Season Journeys making craftable gear even less necessary. | ||

(Vote): Barbarian I'm pretty excited because this is the first season since they've introduced them that I have paid almost no attention to beforehand. No PTR play, no patch note or change tracking. The only things I know are the massacre bonus stuff and the "set dungeons" (and even those I only know by name/concept, no idea what purpose they serve or what to expect). Will be interesting to go in relatively unprepared for once. | ||

Will be interesting to go in relatively unprepared for once. Same here. Browsing some Hearthstone stuff I saw a link to a new season post in Diablo. No idea about set dungeons here aswell. Might answer the first poll after starting. Have absolutely no idea right now : D Augmenting items could mean that I avoid playing more than 1 char. I could see myself going Wizard later on for some DMO but I won't level one to start with as other classes get the set I'm interested in as a gift. Watched some Invoker gameplay earlier and it seems to be extremely chill. Think my gf would enjoy if I chose something that allowed me to stand still and hold a mouse button. | ||

Getting three gifts you're free to open these on different chars to get a 2-set bonus on three different chars. Well if that's the case I'm not quite sure which class I'll start with either! Firebird's is probably a fine start for wizard, which tends to be my preferred, but getting the free Invoker set on sader would be nice to start with since I was planning on trying that out regardless | ||

Totally impractical for anything like serious pushing, but when you're just playing with friends and more worried about dicking around and slaughtering hordes of monsters with friends it wasn't that bad. Well the changes to the Invoker set make it viable for saders now. After years of silly uselessly amusing thorns builds it finally works! Apparently. I'll take everyone's word for it since there seems to be a lot of hype around the set from people testing it. That's why I'll probably roll it first to try it myself. Consensus seems to be sader getting Invoker as the free 6p set at beginning of the season is the most beneficial compared to other classes. | ||

I don't recall having a problem with any griefer in D3. PUGs are full of leeches and afk people, however. Blizzard responded by overtuning group bonuses to account for all the freeloaders and afkers and just general annoyances associated with PUGs, something they are scaling back this patch. I could be wrong, but I thought the group bonuses require you to be a certain distance from groupmates as well. | ||
