I have never seen that but it could be handy.

Thanks

Was looking at it while preparing my non-seasonal storage for incoming. Played a bit with old seasonal DH and WWbarb. HAd to burn some shards so first I went for quiver on DH, got a new version of the one for the multishot build (MS dmg range went from 5-15 on old like I had to something like 90-100 and I got a 95% so big improvement there already).

My WW needs a couple of the new/revised legs though for ring/belt. I was doing some tx stuff and while I wouldn't die, boss kills was like reading a book in time requirement.

 

[lupi]

Only 2 seasons to go and I can pretty much ignore it (just have to do the basic get to 70 and not totally sucky gear for the cosmetic/pet stuff). WD and Monk are the two I hadn't run through yet, thinking WD at this point for next as the little tinkering I've done in non with a monk was not rather fun.

 

[PClark99]

once we get our stash tabs I wonder what other carrots they will dangle as incentive.

 

[sweenish]

It'll have to be a big carrot for me. The main point of seasons, the competitve rush to grab and hold leaderboard spots in a specified timeframe, never appealed to me. It was always the exclusive items in the beginning, and now the stash tabs.

Some streamers, including Quin, are apparently getting flown out to Gamescon by Blizzard, and that's the conference where ROS was revealed. It'll be interesting to see what they announce. I'm not holding my breath for an expansion, but I'm still interested.

 

[lupi]

Had about 420 items in mail, down to around 300 now. Listing does help forb pruning somethings quickly, but those items used in more than one subspec takes a bit longer to prune the bad items and decide what to keep for each special type. And I've got about a bag and a half of just leg gems at the moment.

 

[lupi]

Spent about 5 hours in game Saturday. Managed to arrange my stash and get everything out of the mail. If i had two more tabs, I'd probably be really well off storage wise, good thing we've got 2 more to get.

Then spent a little time correcting gear/specs for some of the other characters, spent all my shards for barb ww ring. Didn't get it so then upgraded all rates and with 2 left finally got one and it even came with a socket. Popped a GR to test it and was killing again like I remembered.

With just a couple days till yet another wonderful season, looked over the patch notes and other than some UI stuff and a couple bug fixes, nothing important changed.

 

[digiram]

What day does the new season start? I still gotta go through all of my season 6 stuff to, aye.

 

[lupi]

Friday, seems quicker than last time.

Friday, seems quicker than last time.

Damn, yeah.. sure does. I gotta brush up on changes. I played Monk, WD, and Wiz last season. Think I might start with the DH this season, not sure yet. Gotta see what the hot toon is now.

 

[sweenish]

It's not. 2 weeks, like it was for the last season, and I think the season before that as well. If someone cared to check, I'm sure the dates are available for comparison. This is the pattern going forward.

Probably feels sooner because of summer and vacation and such for me.

Was looking at adjusting the wizard for new patch and to try out the new TV levels, looks like with the firebird changes all that gear has been scrapped from the EB build. Most of my good ancient stuff was FB so that's kinda dissapointing.

Good thing seasons are here so I won't have the time to worry about it though!

 

[sweenish]

WD ROE got nerfed hard. And they broke it for Jade, where it was intended. Might still work for Arachyr, at least.

I'll probably still run WD, though. Last season's build is still strong enough to make the tab pretty easy to obtain. And I want a Spider build as well.

 

[lupi]

Was just reading that, not a lot of happy WDers. Planning on running that build for season anyway, imagine the ring setup will be different though.

 

[sweenish]

It changes a few pieces of gear. S6 HT build was the better of MoJ or T&T equipped (pre-nerf, choose one or the other for cube, usually MoJ for groups and T&T solo), other in the cube, RoRG in cube (this was ROE), and furnace (was Wormwood) in cube.

Changes a few gear rolls as well, but I'm fuzzier on that.

That is wack. The whole point of ROE was to give Jade the buff it needed. They really couldn't find any other way to not get it used along with HT Gargs?

 

[lupi]

Talk about brain farther of the year nominee. About to finish chapter 4, just had to do the 20 GR. Due to a couple legs I found early on, was able to fly to till late mid levels pretty good then picked up again once I was able to cube and use them there. Notices I couldn't go straight to 20, and was getting ready to do the 12 first when I though it was odd I hadn't gotten any set pieces yet. So I checked my mail even though it never indicated anything new....and I've got 2 sacks sitting there.

Wow did that make it easy mode again. Now just having to get used to the WD non active playstyle. Overall class really seems to be one of the easiest to level and play solo, especially with the set they're giving you.

 

[pandemonium]

This season certainly started out a lot easier than any of them for me as well. I didn't have to grind for 200 PL levels before being able to do T6+; hit PL80 and was already at T8 status. I must say they've optimized the game fairly well since every season I'm doing higher difficulties at lower PLs.

I am enjoying the R6 spirit dump with Fleshrake bonus. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I get Shenlong's and Flying Dragon to see how much better it'll be with the new R6 bonus. It's the new meta, but I am curious to see how well a Devastator and SunKeeper with Fleshrake could stack up. Having a few options to check out is fun. ^^

 

[sweenish]

I hit T7 shortly after getting all six pieces. Still waiting for RoRG to drop so I can equip my pretty decent MoJ. Getting the jewelry I need is going to be a pain, I can already feel it.

 

[lupi]

Had an easy start this time, got an ancient off hand when gambling for the achievement and the last cache bag also pulled out ancients for torso and legs. So pretty much went straight to T7 farming to farm rest of outfit. Got the bracers, just need hat, main hand (for survivability as got one with a high damage rating), and ring. Probably won't have much play time till the weekend again then it will be back to rifting for shards.

 

[sweenish]

Short man's finger jumps me straight to T10. Still missing Witching Hour, Furnace, Henri's Perquisition (I do have homunculus, so it's less of a worry), the traveler's set, and the soul harvest dagger.

I've heard a WD upgrading rares can get a furnace a bit easier due to a smaller pool of items. Won't worry about the furnace until after I get the knife, though. Elites and bosses at ~TX strength are going down fast enough right now.

 

[OlyAR15]

Got my stash tab in about 3 days.

33 hours of game time, P578, solo, DH. Seems like seasons are getting easier.
