Looking back at the inferno on release(and the 250 hours i spent in first month) this game is in a much better state now. Anyone remember buying an 800 damage bow from Auction House or the times where literally everything two shotted you on inferno if you are not a barb?

oh yeah i ragequit the game for like a year at the beginning, my demonhunter could barely do act 2 and only oasis and still needed to kite every enemy for minutes and if any of the invisible snakes attack me, i die.

Meanwhile a lot of others resorted to dying trough all acts to reach act 4 where they farmed the purple named npc that was bugged and had an attack that was too high and didnt hit the player. Farm it for days, get act 4 weapon drops and sell them on auctionhouse.


Well, or farm by dying trough levels to open chests.



people who played normally were stuck at act 1 skeleton king because those were harmless enemies that could actually be killed by playing like a normal diablo player would like to play.




I really dont know who thought was was a good diablo game.

does the real money auction still exist? how reliant do you have to be on it?

Both the real money and the ingame money AH are gone. If you want loot you have to go and get it yourself now. Cant trade it either since all legendary's are Bound to your Account.





you can trade within the game, so if you play with friends or loot share with a random guy of the same class, you can give away like set drops you allready have etc

I absolutely loved diablo 3 on release, and yes, even with the difficulty where it was. It was challenging and that made it fun. I raged when they increased repair costs to absurd levels but I liked everything about the game besides reflect damage and the occasional invulnerable minions/horde/shielding groups lol. Those were immpossible.

It takes a small bit of initial setup but after that the set just melts everything in its path, I regularly see 1 billion damage pulses from the wand and source set and can go from anywhere between 75 and 140 archon stacks depending on rift architecture and mob density.

My set is still not perfect though, I've got few ancients and some subpar stats on a few pieces of gear, because I could easily see this set doing Grifts 60 with great gear.

I think this set is hands down the best so far in terms of damage that I've ever seen.

Is there anything in that build that decrases archon cooldown, or do you just spend a lot of time between archons doing much less damage? I guess you spend the time building stacks for the wand, but do you deal any damage?


I have the head effect that lets me keep my archon stacks for 20 seconds after it finishes and I also have the effect from Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac. As a spender I use arcane torrent because it procs the cooldown reduction faster then other spenders. With the CDR from gem, talents, armor and the ring I can get the stacks back up before the previous ones fall, although that depends on mob density.

Also, wtf, my barb friend just critted for 3 billion today on seismic slam...

Highest crit I got so far (with a Wizard that usually did lvl 27-28 rifts) with Tal Rasha's set was a 6.1 billion fire meteor.
It was a combination of the full Tal Rasha bonus, Meteor boots, Convention of Elements and a Power Pylon though.

You get all of the archon runes by cubin the head piece (swami) which lowers archon cooldown. Then you get some CDR into your build from head gem, paragon levels and the gear itself. Then for your jewelry cube slot you put in zodiac ring, which reduces cd by 1 sec everytime a spender hits a target. So when your archon ends, you pewpew mobs with a spender (normally arcane torrent now) to gain chantodo stacks and refresh the cooldown. Ideal situation is that as soon as you hit 20 stacks of chantodo, archon comes off cooldown again and then you rince and repeat.

Weapon to cube is furnace. Gems to pick currently are stricken, trapped and pain enhancer.

As for if you deal any damage during this time, well definately not as much as in archon form, although the stacks lingering from your archon form do help.

Ahh, zodiac ring was the missing piece I didn't get, thanks! Now it makes sense, and I now understand why everyone got arcane torrent.

I got 10B+ (I think I got 14.6B or so at most) crits consistently pre-patch with the meteor rune that empties the mana pool. Tal rasha, meteor boots ofc, convention of elements, cc+cd+int+arcane% moonlight ward, arcane dynamo and the slow 2-hander with the +meteor damage. Not a good build for anything, but great fun to play mid-level rifts, see the rest of the team go at a champion pack for a few seconds while you set up your combo, they bring them down to 60-70% health or so, and then you land your meteor, one-shotting them. Ofc, most of the times you will have to wait for convention of elements, and half the times the meteor wont crit and you have to wait for next cycle. But the times everything lines up, and you hit something that actually have around 10B hitpoints left, it is a great feeling. :D

Shit rereading comments in this thread made me want to play D3 again. Since a new season just hit I'll fire it up and make a witch doctor most likely. I've never played one before. Now I don't know shit about Kanai's Cube, furnace and things, because I stopped playing shortly after I finished Reaper of Souls and got a few rifts in. But I trust I'll figure things out along the way, and if I don't I'll bug you about it in this thread.

Its really straight forward, just remember to look up where to get the cube when you hit 70.

Ok, ran into a issue today. Extracted 50 powers total using the Kanai cube, didn't get any credit for it. Searched the forums, apparently you need to extract 50 more powers then you previously had...

This is either a bug or bad achievement description, anyone else ran into this problem?

yeah I liked release diablo 3 as well. Everything but the enrage mode, as I liked to play without strategically dieing for a full heal.

Blizzard has an issue with properly scaling numbers.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
