Logged last night but didn't get any invite into any of the high level groups for any good xp leaching. All these freak seasonal chars already in torment 4 and 6. Saw one with around 250 paragon and though that must be a bug taking levels from nonseasonal account.

Yup. Power levelling is going on in the clan. I was brought up 45 para levels in a very short time. I still lack the gear to T6 on my own because RNG wasn't playing fair this weekend.

There seems to be a core group of people helping the lowbies out. We did a level 28 Grift yesterday and it popped me up 4 para levels (80-84)....so it goes quick with a full group.

Me and Pandemonium, Floggin, ChairShot, and a couple others will definately help out. If you see us, just shout and we'll get you in.

I'm creeping up on PL300 in Season 2 now and haven't really been what you would call playing a ton lately. Fast grift groups crushing 30 - 33 level grifts was netting me anywhere from 8 - 10 paragon levels an hour before the mid-200's came along. That slowed down to around 5 or so now that 300 is closing in.

I know there's a couple monks, DH's, and barbarians that can get you in based on the type of gear you may need shared. Not sure of the Wiz or WD population though I did see a couple on this weekend that were burning through Torment levels pretty fast.

Lupi, no bugs that I've heard of. Just people getting lucky and running high rifts. In about the time the season 2 has been out, I went from like 315 to around 375 in non seasonal having 0 high end gear just running with a few guildies. So, doing that from 0 to 250 is nothing, especially depending on the class. Once you get into the like 20+ G rifts, you're flying through XP.

Havent touched D3 for a good 6months. How is it? Is Season mode even good? I mean what is the point wasting hours in paragon levels? Also what are these season items that we cant get in softcore? how rare are they and how good are they? Im still waiting for the next expansion and ofc diablo 4 I have no hope for this game now more, I'm officially done, unless something new is added. Everything is so same! Same old boring rifts? Same old grind spots? Same old Kadala? Same old drop rates? Sorry Im complaning alot

These don't sound as much like knocks against the game as much as general burn-out. It happens.

If you really cared enough to answer some of your specific questions, Google would fit that bill.

It's mainly about getting the gear you need and running with a good full group of people doing their thing. It goes very quickly!

I honestly haven't pushed very hard and I'm already over PL300. I've spent a lot of time helping people out and haven't really focused on leveling. If you look at the top of the spectrum though, a lot of the DNA clan are well over 500 now. It's crazy easy with the right people.

I did a few runs with the T6 people yesterday. started the day at level 69 with 120K DPS/2.2M toughness and ended it at level 70/80, 300K DPS/12M toughness ahhaha

When I log in and don't feel like playing solo I whisper someone in the clan if they want to drag me along for a few rift runs. Usually it is really fast and I can get some nice upgrades.

And I must say, I love Boulder Toss! I reworked my skills a bit and really enjoy this build so far, great fun. But I might replace something like Weapon Master for a more defensive skill like Superstition...but for now I can solo T3 with ease.

I found this No remorse mighty weapon for my barb yesterday. It's pretty cool. Hota has chance to spawn ancients. So, with IK set. I can have up to 6 Ancients running with me.

I played some non seasonal rifts last night in a public group since the AT clan is mostly in season 2.

When you get booted from a game does it state anything or simply dump you back into the menu? I was playing in a T6 public group and I was getting the shrines and someone said once not to get the shrines and then i was out of the game. I get that someone probably had a buff for shrines but in a public game where everyone was more than strong enough to defeat everything why did they even care? Silly!

They might have had nemesis bracers (spawns elites at shrines), so they wanted the extra elites to kill. Most people are okay, but some people get their knickers in a twist over it though - eg: they'll start yelling right away about it. Gee, sorry buddy, but I don't inspect the equipment of every player when I enter a game

Also depends where you were in the rift, people like to save shrines for RG.

But if it's just T6, meh. Should go down easy enough without.

If they actually cared enough to have a good time, they'd let people know ahead of time.

exactly either play private games or notify people when they join. Of course for some reason i lose my connection 50% of the nights i play so I thought i had disconnected again when it happened.

Sweenish, how is season 2 going? I keep meaning to start a new character but since i don't really know which i have yet to do it. i am sure i will join us with you guys when you are 200 paragon levels ahead of me.

Yeah, if you guys need any power leveling for Seasons, I think most anybody can do it. I power leveled my brother last night and it only took 30 minutes to do. I'm not in the clan but am on the clan channel chat. So, if you guys need a run, just whisper me or say so in chat.

If you want in the clan, send a request. Plenty of us can accept. I should probably go through the list and promote some more people to be allowed to do this. I'll do that tonight.

I am always up for Non-Season rifts and such. I had just switched over to Furious Charge shortly before Season 2 started so I am still really enjoying it....I just don't have any gear for it in Season 2 yet so I play Non-Season quite frequently. Let me know.

That could be it. I've only dabbled in the game since the GRs started so haven't experienced the rate of XP from them.

It's commonly known to not hit shrines in T6 runs unless you're wearing nemesis. T6 runs are mainly for mat farming/legendary farming because of the number - and how quickly - the monsters die. Spawning an elite on a shrine means another decent chance at a legendary to drop. It maximizes the runs.

If they told you to not hit shrines, you shouldn't have continued to do it, if that were the case. I know most people in public games don't communicate very well, so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't explain it to you like they should have.

In regards to GRifts, that's not usually the case, but can be sometimes, since spawning elites can help extend Bane of the Powerful, or be used as "trash" for the GRG (Exploding Palm damage relies on that). Also, if you're close to spawning the GRG, saving that power or conduit shrine for them helps tremendously.

hehe, yea....if you're touching shrines in a public game while someone else is wearing Nemesis bracers, you'll probably end up getting booted.

It's important to note, while in a regular rift, that you can carry Nemesis in your backpack, swap to them, touch the shrine, then put original bracers back on.

This can't happen in a GRift since everything is locked. You're much more likely in a regular Rift to get booted, since GRifts most people are gearing the best they can....which usually don't include the Nemesis bracers.

Season 2 is going well enough. I've had to seriously cut back my play time just as the season was starting. Marathon session last week did get me up to something like Paragon 60-80. I can't remember. Lots of clan activity, and lots of people willing to help, myself included. Although lately I can only get on to run one or two rifts.

So I'm not nearly as decked out as some of the other clan members. Comfortable in T4 right now, waiting for some more pieces to come in, specifically any other piece of Sunwuko so I can get into T6. Hoping to roll my monk well enough to also level a season DH, but not any sooner. If it doesn't happen before the end of the season, I'll just go back to non-season DH for a bit.

In other news, datamined patch 2.2 stuff is out there. Wizard sets are looking good, but Barb is going to get awesome. New IK bonuses and the WW set look pretty nice. They're probably still not going to be a great 55+ team choice, but their solo play will be incredible. I hope I kept my ancient Lamentation.

Stash space will be even more of an issue with all the new sets.

Hah, Crusader is going to be a dead class in 2.2. About 70% of the players of D3 Vanilla played the Barbarian because of cc immunity.

Blizzard nerfed that in Reaper of Souls and gave that "feature" to Crusader, to incentivize playing the new class. Now that Perma-Wrath is coming back in 2.2 and Crusader has the least number of improvements I expect a pretty big migration of Crusaders to Barbarian in 2.2 as the class has superior mobility and less cooldown reliant.

It's always like that to some degree as people gravitate towards whatever is considered the most powerful. Monk has recently come into a lot of power so people are playing that right now, and before that Demon Hunters were (and to some degree still are) the best DPS due to their set bonus, and pre-RoS CM Wizards and WW Barbarians ruled the roost.

It's not necessarily a bad thing either if it gets people to try other classes and new things for a change.

Although most people have already played the old barbarian which is what we are getting back. Same thing with the season 1 condemn crusader, all blizzard did was give players back a build they already had in 2.03 that was taken away.

At least it isn't like D2, where a patch would come along, completely neuter your build and you'd have to start from scratch. Here, you might need to find a few new pieces of equipment or change some skills, but to me, that isn't a that big a deal.

Just wanted to mention that sacrificing your bracers to spawn elites on shrines is a pretty sure fire way to progress a GRift quickly. I like to utilize this when I'm solo in non-seasons, as do many others.
