Help in Soloing HC Hell

Posted: 06 Mar 2018 03:30 PM PST

Right now Im level 72 Javazon with decent gear for nightmare.

Any suggestions on how I should approach this?

It seems like with my lightning skill I should go back and farm Nightmare cow level for a lot more levels. But tbh I wouldn't even know what to put my skill points into.

I have one more respec (trying to figure out if I should go java or bowazon based off what items I may find)

The reason I ask is I am struggling in Act 1 hell due to lightning resist. And since the majority of my talents are into lighting specs thats a problem.

I could respec and grab high dps poison skills and my lighting skills but then my lightning wouldn't be as strong.

This seems to be the only viable option in my head right now.

Any thoughts? I really dont want to RIP another lvl 70+ amazon.

Just a few questions from a noob

Posted: 06 Mar 2018 07:39 PM PST

Hello, I'm relatively new to this game. I just hit 70 on a Barb not too long ago and I've been doing a lot of research trying to learn more about the game. I see a lot of builds and gear I should be using, but of course I'm nowhere near getting that gear. I currently run on Torment 3 but that seems to increase almost hourly as my paragon and items get better. My questions are:

How should I go about acquiring specific gear for a build?

I know about Kanai's cube but currently only use it for extracting legendary abilities, what else can/should I be doing with this? Furthermore I'm also aware I can upgrade rare items into legendaries, is this worth doing and is there anything that I should look for in a rare item that makes it favorable to upgrade as opposed to any other rare?

I understand basic differences between rifts/grs/bounties and the crafting materials gained by each etc, but what should I be typically running if my only goal is to get better gear and progress game difficulties?

Also I see a lot of things about T13, I assume this means Torment 13 and I can only guess that T13 is a torment where there are optimal drops per clear speed? But have no idea and would like clarification on this.

And FINALLY, I figured out about key wardens today and ran one, got a machine, killed the boss and got two idols. I looked up and found out these are crafting materials for a good ring/amulet. Should I prioritize trying to acquire the rest of the materials or is there a point where it becomes better to do so?

Thank you so much if you take the time to answer any of these, as scouring the internet didn't really suffice. I really appreciate any help, thanks!

Invincible mob glitch in GR's?

Posted: 06 Mar 2018 10:02 PM PST

https://imgur.com/nEr08iK

This just happened to me while trying to push GR 95 Solo on my Crusader. I thought the first time it happened maybe i mistaked it for one of his minions, but it happened a 2nd time, so right before the 3rd I capp'd my screen with gyazo. Anyone else had this happen? Does this mob have a hidden mechanic i've just never encountered before?

Short sad challenge story

Posted: 06 Mar 2018 11:28 AM PST

Let me tell you a short sad story before I head out to work, stay awhile and listen.

Completed the challenge rift after 4 attempts and 1 of those were me and a random finding the "best possible path". After I was done I quickly made a new barb that has higher chance to get a few BiS leggos my main barb fresh 70 needs. Logged in and claimed the box, but noticed I had a bunch of gear in the mailbox too. The sense of dread when I didn't make it seasonal, tfw wasted 30 minutes of my life doing a challenge.

So fellow nephalem, anyone else had this kind of thing happening? also shotout to apple if you're here, I hope you do well on your fresh hardcore runs.

Edit: removed the link to the image.

A lot of the time when playing with less experienced friends, I get annoyed at how long they take to sort through and salvage loot between rifts and grifts.

Posted: 06 Mar 2018 07:05 AM PST

Especially when I decide to throw in a quick normal rift in between two grifts so they'll have time to do their thing at their own pace, but they stop what they're doing and join me inside instead.

Then I remember I love them and I let them get on with it, without making a fuss about it.

Taking damage slightly longer than I should be

Posted: 06 Mar 2018 03:42 AM PST

I've been playing Monk this season, trying my best to push a little and basically enjoy a solo experience.

Coming from DH I have noticed something strange that happens with Monk involving Dashing strike and area of affect damage affixes on the ground. Things like poison, molten and frozen. We all know that dashing strike has a terrible predelay to casting and has no animation interruption meaning if you cast one attack too many before trying to dash away you are stuffed.

Further to this issue I think there is a snapshotting problem with dashing strike and AoE affixes, basically when you teleport of out a dangerous attack there are a few split seconds worth of damage you take during the travel and landing animation. Which basically means you die as soon as you reach your safe destination or a moment after regaining control at your safe destination.

I will try and record some video but its not especially easy to capture, its more of a general crappy feeling of unfairness you get when you get out of the danger in time but still get deaded.

Does any of you sick and tired of leveling gem for the caldesann?

Posted: 05 Mar 2018 11:31 PM PST

yesterday, i just finished my GR 93. and i entered the Leaderboards, yayyyyy so happy, this is the first time i am in the GR seasonal leaderboards. then i started farming GR key, and leveling gem for the caldesann. then i realized it took me around 3 hours for a single lvl 70-80 gem from collecting 15ish key then started leveling legendary gem from 0.

can blizzard please buff a little the process of leveling the gem? i am sick and tired have to repeat GR 60 ten times to bring the gem to level 50. and when i got 10 ancient. it take me 100 GR.

i think the higher the different the gem and the GR. the more upgrade we can get. thanks for anyone who reading my ramblings.
