    for hardcore players, I think the "no level requirement" is the absolute best choice, because if you die early on, it's super easy to get back to 70, since you can just put on all the extra gear you farmed up

      It will be the last season to be excited for most likely. They will likely continue seasons on some sort of auto-pilot with cycles until player numbers drop enough to justify only doing ladder resets and sticking to double Bounty / Goblin / etc. for season events indefinitely.

      The idea that anyone's worried about this honestly baffles me xD (Don't get me wrong, I know there are. It's just nonsensical.) You'll have that ability so late that if you're still using rares, there's something very wrong. If you need them for crafting legendaries by that point, it's simpler just to craft them anyways. Auto-salvaging will always be efficient.

    When you get to the Staff of Herding, the hardest part being getting your hands on a Gibbering Gemstone.. if your having trouble with this, make a new seasonal character, a freshy lvl 1, throw some gear on which will be easy since the alters gives us any item lvl one.. go kill chilatra as normal.... I literally got the gemstone the very first try when I did this. I was farming Chilatra, not like the pro's... 3 or 4 games here and there.. then I remembered this little nugget of information when I was looking up how to make the staff a long time ago in regular mode. (just luck? Who knows, but I do seem to remember getting the gem really quickly when I done this in regular play) Hope it helps.

  • @Nytegard
    @Nytegard Před rokem +2

    One suggestion. If you're not being power leveled, +25% Movement Speed must come before Permanent XP Pools. If you look back at Raxx's previous season videos, he's typically in the Paragon 30s by the time he completes Haedrig's Gift. Let's assume you don't get any Class Specific Helm by then, so you're stuck with only 3 upgrades. Even with double massacre bonuses, that extra pool XP might take you to what, Paragon 50-60? Versus 25% movement speed, when you don't have movement abilities at the very beginning. That movement speed helps you finish the Chapter requirements earlier, such as the boss kills and bounties, as well as allowing you to run the Rifts & Greater Rifts faster. I'd take that over maybe 5-8 paragon points you can distribute from the bonus XP.

    • @AtomicArtumas
      @AtomicArtumas Před rokem

      Pretty much at least until you get the first 16 nodes done at a bare minimum.
      The amount you need to grind and the bonuses you get from the latter part of the tree aren't going to make nearly as much of a difference, so there's a very good chance you'd be overall better off focusing on gear past 20 or so.
      But all of the double drops, the mov speed, the damage output, the insanely broken potions, etc. etc.? Yeah, those are going to make so much more of a difference than most other things you could work on could, and considering the content you have to farm, it's BY FAR better to farm the tree first so you get the other stuff done faster, because doing the other stuff isn't really going to make farming the tree faster.

    This will be interesting, I've put over 1000 hours into Diablo 3 between launch and when I stopped at season 24, I played until I got to between GR 70-85 every season and stopped. This put my offline paragon at a measly 9XX. This current season I hopped on and because of sanctified items build my DH and raised paragon to 650 in 2-3 days. This new system and the whole basically starting with lvl 70 gear is going to make things a lot more fun and less tedious which might mean that I get my seasonal paragon well above my offline paragon level if I play the entire season.

    It is my hope that they continue to do seasons this way in the future. They will be making D3 continually better and D4 comes out so we can spend possibly all season on Blizzard. D3 is still a top 5 Iso ARPG in my book. It can make up ground on POE, LE and other games of the like. We never know, we may get a skills tree makeover like POE and endgame mapping the level of some of the other games.

    My biggest worry for S28 is the Monk. Most builds have a single skill that buffs the main damage dealer. This has 4 skills used every 10 seconds to buff main damage skill. "Gen, gen, gen, Dash, DPS for 6 seconds" repeat. Dificult to exploit third hit bonuses. Also squishy so people won't be able to drop defense skills for generators unless they are paragon 5000+. Combination strike stuff should be moved to the set. "Combination strike stacks give 100% multiplicative damage per generator used, and 20% DR per stack up to 80%. Stack duration lasts 10 seconds and is reset every time a different generator is used." Each generator is like a 100% multiplier and a 33% DR skill, meaning they all rock. Then you can think about what third hit buff you want and when, and what damage dealing skill you want and when. "1 2 3 , Dash, DPS for 6 sec, 1 Dash DPS for 6 seconds, 3 dash DPS for 6 seconds."

    I actually like leveling in Seasons, I usually burn out around 900ish to 1200 para. When leveling you get a chance to play some odd builds, every yellow drop is interesting, and you see constant incremental improvement. Season 28 is well thought out, it benefits those that want to speed level and those that enjoy just leveling normally.

    There is another way to save your cache and still get the blacksmith to level 12...you can do bounties on Torment 1 and you get 1 death breath from the reward that you can use to upgrade the blacksmith...this way you can save your cache and you don't have to wait until monday

    • @DolphinWantsPeace
      @DolphinWantsPeace Před rokem

      but the cache gives you gold and mats that you need to level and then craft stuff with. by the time u have the gold to level the blacksmith to 11 (where u need the db) you're most likely over 61 where you will drop dbs from elites anyway and start using the blacksmith mostly for salvaging.
      Also i dont understand why Raxx is saying we can only get 14/26 if we use the cache early, because as I see it only the letters I (where the cache is needed) and L and M are locked until monday. for every other node there's another path that we could possibly do even if we don't have the cache. So basically you could have 23/26 until monday, which in my casual gameplay is plenty to do.

This only applies to GR grinding because afaik normal rifts don't have the same effect, but it's how pools earned the title of 41% bonus XP from the high tier gamers.
