This was the first time we played hardcore so it was fun but now i am left alone as my two friends are level 1 again  The game is much more fun to play when leveling up though. What would be a good difficulty for hardcore? My friend died at Urzael on master difficulty around level 50(i know we suck, lol). He insisted on increasing the difficulty because we were destroying mobs in one hit so we didn't have to use our all skills | ||

If you insist on solo start on hard, do bounties till lv 20+, switch to story to kill leoric for his guaranteed crown drop, insert the highest possible ruby in it you have, and go back to bounties/rifts until you hit level 70. Do not take the crown off until 70, just upgrade the ruby inside it. Btw I'm starting to burn out. I do 10-15 TX rifts a day and just as many Grifts 50/55/60 and the amount of ancient drops is just piss poor. And even when 1 does drop its shoulders of light or a deathseer's cowl. Completely fucking useless. 0 upgrades for the past 3 days. On thorn-sader i don't have a single ancient item on me. The LoN bombardment set I'm trying to assemble, has only an acient final witness and a mediocre rolled illuionary pair of boots, you'd think in 3 days and 500 paragon overall I'd find an upgrade to SOMETHING, but nope. | ||

also is endless walk set that good? everyone seems to be using it in online builds, but it seems like there is a setup period between defense/attack modes. also, for legendary gems i am using stricken, the + thorn one, and trapped. would it be worth swapping one out for gogok for + attack speed and CDR? Not sure which one would result in better DPS. +attack speed would help with the 2 set bonus in thorns build. more attacks in 2 seconds means more damage no one seems to be using gogok in builds listed online | ||

But gold find seems useless and so is resource cost reduction because I dont have any spenders. utility category seems wasted now.

Again I'm not a high GR pro but I haven't felt like it really messes with me that much. I can see it being weird at really high GR but even when you're kiting and building density you're moving around enough that your follower doesn't always root in a bad place and distract half your mobs. I can imagine there are other good alternatives though. | ||

How do seasonal characters work? If I start a seasonal character game, am I able to switch it back to story mode with that character? Does equipment get lost in those transitions or can I stash it? Another question is regarding the intro video for the new season. They seem to show a new area to discover. Is that area a NR or a GR or a simple new area in adventure mode? Moreover, in the vídeo they show a kickass DH set....what exactly do I need to do to get it? I assume that for a complete noob in the game like myself getting that set is next to impossible if not actually impossible. But assuming that I had the time, skill and knowledge to play a lot, at least it would be cool to know how to get it  I appreciate your help  thanks in advance! | ||

Non-Season. Non-Season Hardcore, Season and Season Hardcore. Characters, storage, town upgrades ect all of them are tracked separately. You can both the campaign and adventure mode in season. You cant move from one of the 4 to another but you can freely switch between story(campaign) and adventure(bounty) When the season ends your Season and Season Hardcore characters are turned into Non-Season and Non-Season Hardcore characters. If you turn a non-Season character into a Season character all their gear is mailed to your non-season account. Set items drop like any other item. just a small% chance. You can also gamble them from Kadala (again, small chance) This Season you get a 'free' set once. There is a set of quests in Season (get to 70. kill boss X on difficulty Y ect). called the Season Journey. 3 of these give you the set. you will see them as you play. | ||

I'll try to start a seasonal DH then and see if I can go about the season journey. | ||

Or maybe I misunderstand how it works and it only calculates if it gets refunded when the effect of a hammer expires (and it hit <4 enemies). Edit: yep when I put in the explosive rune it works just fine ^^ | ||

Basically it really helps your Grifting speed if you kill as much as possible while only clicking on Elites and Champions. | ||

Shoot, so I hit pl 200+ last night and maxed out LOH. I'll change to area damage. I've been doing it all wrong! Supposedly LOH would synergiize well w the attack speed of thorn sader but I'm still glass cannon at torment 10 due to missing some damage reduction pieces of the build. Still really fun build. Really enjoy the diversity they've introduced. A build that doesn't rely on stacking crit | ||
