I picked it up last night because I am weak. I like it so far. I went back to finishing Uncharted 2, but so far I like the controls a lot better.
So, Iām down to two challenges left in the current season chapter I am working on: T12 nephalem in 6 minutes and completing one conquest.
I can clear t12 comfortably (apart from the occasional instagib when I take a hit with my defenses down) but not that fast. I had an ancient fury of the vanished peak drop, so I was trying to put together a build to do the conquest completing a Gr45 with no set items. I was getting fairly close to that being possible I think, and I just had an eventful sessionā¦
A magefist dropped for me, which is great, because I had cubed the only one I had found and needed to use the cube armor slot for cindercoat.
Then, I ran over to the cube to upgrade a couple of 2h mighty weapons (how I got the FVP I mentioned above) and lo and behold, out pops an ancient blade of the tribes. Not a good roll across the board (low strength, no life on hit or fury, no vitality) but 200% earthquake damage. In a way, the worst part was that it rolled with a slot. Normally that would be good, but because I have a ramaldni, I had to roll the socket off. I got a high vitality roll on my first shot, so am keeping that for the moment (canāt really afford to give up 1k vitality rom my old one).
At any rate, Iām thinking I can do the conquest now using this instead, along with magefist and an Andarielās visage with fire damage boost and convection of elements, and my girdle of giants.
Still donāt think I can do the T12 in 6 minutes, but should be closer.
Do the season challenges make it so you can tell if youāre ādoing wellā? Sounds like it from Misguidedās post above. How many challenges per season?
Ha, thatās great.
84 across the 9 chapters: Diablo 3: Season 29 Journey Tracker
Of course stuff like mastering set dungeons comes with their own list of challenges, and I think with āconquestsā you can pick from another list of challenges.
Well, the first 4 chapters do a good job of leading you through the progression and introduce new things if you donāt know about them. At that point you have your full set and they start to take the gloves off. Where Iām at NOW itās more like āyou thought you were good at this, huh?ā But this stuff (meaning the later chapters of the season journey) is here for people that want long-term goals to do. Itās not casual at this point, but you could be pretty darned casual and at least get your full 6-PC set in the first 4 parts.
This conquest is kicking my ass. I thought I was going to be able to do it, but itās still taking my way too long to kill elites.
I know right? I was very surprised it wasnāt taken when I set it up.
Incredible! I just donāt get it, and am happy with that knowledge. Enjoy!
The season is getting a bit grindy now. I have good gear, but for Slayer I need to use the cube to fill one more slot, which means I need to scrap about 20 more Legendaries. Plus I need to run some bounties to get crafting stuff. And I am low on Dragonās Breath. Not sure how dedicated I am just to farm this stuff. It still is fun increasing the level and seeing how my Crusader fares, but I am a bit sick of just collecting gear. Maybe time to move on until the next season/necromancer release? Still heck of a lot of fun, the game has improved a lot since release (as everyone reading this thread already knows).
Uh, why? You mean extracting a power, right? You donāt need forgotten souls for that.
I donāt? Maybe I am getting confused, but donāt I need 50 Forgotten Souls to extract a legendary power to the cube?
No, you must have looked at the recipe to reforge a legendary.
A power is 5 Breath and 1 of the bounty trophy things from each act, plus the legendary.
Fwiw, once you start pushing difficulty up to Torment X+, which you arenāt that far from, it isnāt all that unusual to get 5-6 legendaries from one rift, and even that seems a lot less daunting. And Deathās Breath starts coming in buckets.
Ahh ok thanks, will have to take another look at it. I am at Tornent VI now, but going to up it to VII tomorrow and complete the other Slayer stuff.
Or start another new season class? Collect all 6 free sets! ;)
Think you only get the gifts once. The pieces you get depend on which character opens them.
Oh wow, I didnāt know that - I thought you could collect em all! Not that I was really planning toā¦ I finally just nabbed a Ring of Royal Grandeur after farming many Act 1 caches.
Still a few bits off having my full planned Sunwuko WoL kit (helm, chest, Kyo fist) but Iām fairly easily handling Torment X as-is. Working on Champion and getting some legendary gems up. It is getting a little grindy but Iām not minding for now.
Not sure Iāll make it through Conqueror to the Stash Tab.
Not sure I will either. Iām trying to finish the step before that (destroyer?). Realistically, I might have to get some help if I want to get that far.
Correct. One free set per season.
