Not per se. Basically I’m just trying to finish up the season journey achievements to get the free stash tab and that last tier has some really tough ones. If not for that I’d feel no real need to group other than fun and better drops. I’ve done the majority of the journey solo. I took the free set for my monk, but at this point I have multiple complete sets for like four different classes and I’m having fun dinking with builds.
When I first logged in barely a month ago it’d been so long since I played that my regular characters still had rift stone fragments and actual potions in their inventories lol.
Edit - Success! My turret plan worked and I got Leoric dead fast enough solo. Yay!
Phew, that was rough but I finally managed to get some decent ancient drops and augmented several and was finally able to eek out the solo T13 rift in under 5 minutes solo. So now my conqueror journey is done and I have more loot space.
Feels good.
Damn, congrats. If you don’t mind, how many augments and what level? I’m currently sitting at 3x50 and 1x60, I think.
I’ll have to check, but I think it was about 3-4 pieces and I used level 50 gems on all of them. The funny thing is that two of those dropped last night after the game kept dropping other set pieces I didn’t need. I was getting the crap end of the rng stick for a good while.
Here, I found my profile - https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Becoming-1392/hero/85627686
After the chest, gloves and pants dropped last night I dug up the belt out of the stash and decided to use that too. I can’t tell if it shows augments on the profile because I’m on my phone at the moment.
Edit - checked in game and have 5 total ancients (including the belt) and had enough gems to augment 4 of them with level 50 so that added an extra 1,000 dex.
I am not sure how seriously I’ll be putting any effort in to the Guardian journey, but after finally getting an ancient weapon for my MS build I feel like the T13 rift in 4 minutes might be doable soon.
I’ve also been having fun mixing and matching sets of stuff for other classes. So far I’ve tried a weird strafe build with a mix of ancients and the Legacy of Nightmare rings. That can be very fast, but kind of weird and annoying that my strafe seems to cancel sometimes for no reason.
I also used a mix of Sages pieces and Tal Rasha for my wizard, and doing the crazy explosive blast thing zipping around crapping supernovas everywhere after killing an elite.
Mix of Innas and Raiment sets for punchy monk after getting real tired of babysitting sweeping wind stacks with no generator.
And I think I may goof with a mix of crusader stuff next. I’m having tons of fun messing around with class builds that are almost all new to me since I hadn’t played in so long and things had changed with various patches plus the cube being added.
Just a heads up, though it may not be a wide spread thing. I received an email purporting to be from Blizzard asking me to verify my authenticator serial and saying if I didn’t it would deauthorize my authenticator in 72 hours. Looking at the source but not opening the message, it ended up being from some Russian-looking name at a mail.com address, so, um, I 86’d it. Phishing I’m guessing so be on the lookout.

Crap, I haven’t finished the last few things to get the stash tab from season 9 and the season ends in less than 2 hours. Oh well…but I was so close.

With consoles getting seasons now it will be interesting to see which way I go. Completed 2-3 seasons on PC so probably back to console, especially as my son has been asking to play together, and I’ve told him with no seasons I don’t feel any need to play on console.
Yeah I’m not sure either. I’d like to go back to playing with the controller, but I’d also like any new pets and frames to be added to my PC account as well.
After only being able to maintain interest last season for a few hours, unless they add some new gameplay in the future, I think I’ve finally gotten this monkey off my back.
Isn’t there a new class next season?
Sounded like they were still shooting for the latter part of the year for the necromancer, so I don’t believe so.
I had enough fun after my long hiatus that I plan to do at least the next season to goof with more builds and get another stash tab.

Patch 2.5 is now live. It includes a new season of course, alongside the Armory (saves builds, including gear/gems/skills/cube setup), crafting materials now go into a separate tab, so they don’t consume space in your stash, new “primal ancient” items which are ancients with perfect rolls, and the usual set of new legendaries and tweaks.
Awwwww… already? I’ve no time for this! But I’m really keen to play. :)
What class are people doing this season?
*ok the season isn’t live yet:
Season 10 begins Friday, March 31 at 5:00 p.m. PDT in North America, 5:00 p.m. CEST in Europe, and 5:00 p.m. KST in Asia.
None of the sets seem all that exciting to me, so not sure I will do anything this season.
