I, on the other hand, found T2 rather dull and never even finished one playthrough and have max leveled numerous D3 characters.
Yes. In fact thereās an achievement and pet for doing that.
But not in the campaign. Once youāve unlocked Adventure Mode, itās unlocked for every character forever.
yEA, you only get achiev pet for doing it with level 1 char. I found out as I completed it on my 70, so now Iām about to redo it.
OK, I didnāt know that. I figured you had to do your time in the campaign before you could access adventure mode with each character. Thatās good to know.

I agree with you that you should go Hard as soon as possible, but if you do it from level one it will take like forty shots to down a zombie. I promise that this is not fun.

Be sure to use the tip of taking the templarās weapon, and replacing his with the enchantressās when at level 1. Then it is only 20 shots!
Nah, you can go Hard from level one. I always do.
I forgot how much fun Monks are. Been a few years since I played one last, heh.
Got my monk some super-sweet boots that give 290% more damage (and 50% more speed) on that roundhouse kick you get early. Allowed me to ramp up difficulty 2 notches To Master on hardcore mode. Still feels a bit scary though., Only level 47. (Did 5 zones of bounties to hit 47 on Hard modeā¦)
Also got a sock puppet pet from killing something, so good times all-round.
The boots were:
St.Archevs gloves seem nice as well, giving me a 125% health shield whenever I engage Elite mobs.
Personally I never start a new character at hard because you donāt have any skills to work with and the enemies just became bullet (sword? spell?) sponges. But hey, to each his or her own.
Yeah, I would agree. Playing on normal for a few minutes until you at least have an item in each non-jewelry slot and a decent weapon isnāt asking a lot, and then you can drop into hard very easily and really save some time. I feel like starting on hard would actually lower your XP/hour ratio.
I played SOOO MUCH Diablo III this weekend - I not only hit level 70, but I hit 56 Paragon. I did almost all the seasonal achievements, only have 3 left (but they are going to be tough ones, I suspect) and I even am saving up now as I have the materials at last for a Hellfire Amulet (a goal I gave up on a year ago).
This morning as one of the achievements was āupgrade a rare to a legendaryā I dropped the mats into a cube and this popped out:
As Iām using Electrocute (which is 94% more damage thanks to a ring, I think, and does 10% more damage per 10 yards up to 40 yards away I am (all my lightning spells do!) thanks to an active power I extracted previously with the cube, and as all my signature spells are 50% faster and generate 12 Arcane Power per hit also thanks to a power I extracted) this was a great get. The fact that Iām using Disintegrate as my go-to damage dealer helps a lot, so now I have Meteor set up so it drops constantly (well, that and electric hydra, but this sigil seems to intelligently not recast hydra over and over again, instead dropping free electrical meteors every 1 second) while I hold down right-mouse for Disintegrate. I only just got it this morning, so I havenāt had much chance to experiment with it.
So much fucking fun!

My Monk is wearing a set that lets her have all of the mantras up at once. I confess that this gives me a certain amount of goofy childlike joy. Working on completing the set which, once I have it, will let me call all of the mystic allies simultaneously.
Switch to Master, take the Templarās weapon, and hit up a quick-to-reach boss bounty like Kulle or Magda. Easy fights at L1, and youāll gain a couple levels plus some yellow items. Then back down to Hard. :)
That set is awesome, get the boots as well and youāll have 8 Allies up at the same time :-) And thereās an item I believe that gives you 50% more damage PER ally you have up.
How long is the anniversary sale running?
Edit: never mind. Got into my acct and grabbed the expansion on sale with funds from when the rmah existed.

Found money is the best sale.
Wait what part of this costs money? Iām playing on Xbox and just had an update to load, am I missing something?
He just had to buy the Reaper of Souls expansion, by the sounds of it.
Ok got confused - I know the Necromancer is coming but I didnāt think it was here yet.
Nah, that wonāt be until the back end of 2017, methinks.
Success!
I do so much damage now itās incredible. Iām killing Rift bosses in a literal heartbeat, before the life bar shows up, when I have all my spells going off at once. The problem is survivability - Iām on Torment V and Iām getting killed a lot, though the instant resurrection with a 60 second cooldown is helping there.
