Im thinking of starting a new char for the season my witch doctor helltooth lag is getting unplayable. is was wondering if i roll a seasonal HC character can i send it a Gem of ease?

Disable Area Damage in your Paragon, and make sure you have no Area Damage stats on your gear. This will completely fix the lag caused by Helltooth at the cost of AD. This isn't a big deal as our 6pc bonus from Helltooth doesn't multiply AD, neither does CoE or F+R. The damage you lose is minimal.

As for the Gem of Ease, you'll start HC with nothing (assuming you aren't already playing on HC) and won't be able to give youself anything.
 
So I've sunk a lot of time into this season, played season 1 just to see what it was like and skipped the next two, was interested this time in some of the rewards and also how the seasonal journey was going to work etc, and I am really enjoying it, I got stuck in a rut for a while in diablo, was making no progress no upgrades etc etc but I'm climbing higher with my GRift clears, I can take on TX (even with a full party) I cant quite clear it as well as I could clear T-6 when it was the highest difficulty but I'l get around to it lol
I've just reached the Guardian level of the seasonal journey - only have one of the objectives complete so still a lot to go to get that finial portrait :-/

I just reached that part also, then noticed I have to get 70 in hardcore. Started a new character on hardcore, got to level 10, got the achievement for reaching level 10 then immediately lagged out and died :p

Lol rippin - I'm not going to aim for any of the objectives just yet, maybe I'l try to solo a level 60 grift but that just something I want to do anyway, the extract "X" amount of powers has been alittle bugged for me (I know it doesnt count class specific items being extracted but it still seems abit bugged so I'l wait until the 100 items actually unlocks before I aim for the rest.

As for hard core I think I can manage it, I leveled a toon to 60 back when 60 was the level cap, xp is rather easy to get these days so I'm expecting to level quick enough.
 
I have started putting some time into my monk - been wanting to run one for ages but never really felt any of the other sets - liking Ulianas though :)

I wonder if you guys could give me some tips please, current build is;

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/DeanT77-2965/hero/65764203

What I know I need to do;
Farm for Focus & Restraint
I need top cube the two hander that cools down 7 sided strike
I need a Lions Claw
Level up Gogok and Bane of the trapped gems

Bar the above is there anything else I need? I can smash T5 but feeling a bit glass cannon on T6, I expected to be able to survive better.

Cheers boys :D

Follow this if you want to use the Ulianas.
 
Depending on which Ulianas build your going for your gonna want to change your gearing priorities.

If your going for broken promises then you want zero crit chance on your gear. So you would roll it off bracers, helm, amulet and gloves.

Cooldown reduction is also huge with ulianas and is a flat damage increase, so even on a weapon if it means choosing between 10% damage or 10% cdr you wil want the 10% cdr.

Ideally your aiming for CDR around 55%+ (then will have gogok on top of that).

Currently the meta is starting to swing towards using a full crit ulianas build, with most of the higher clears now coming from people using convention of elements rather than broken promises. This means you keep crit chance on gear and paragon and your base dps will be a lot higher giving more consistent damage. You will then need to watch for cold proc from COE for the big damage spike on packs of trash etc.

Datmodz COE Ulianas Build
http://www.diablofans.com/builds/58405-datmodz-gr70-ulianas-coe-monk

Overall no matter what choice you take you want at bear minimum

50%+ CDR (roll on shoulder, gloves, rings, weapons)
Life Per Second on any slot which can have it
Stacking secondary res (pref physical)
15% Exploding palm on Helm and Boots
20% cold on Amulet and Bracers

Paragon 1 > cap movements speed then all in main stat
Paragon 2 > CDR, CHC (if using Coe build), CHD, AS
Paragon 3 > All res > Armour > Life Regen > Life %
Paragon 4 > Area Damage > RCR > LOH > Gold


Personally im switching from Broken Promises to COE build atm and have managed a 63 so far before i switched, so will be interesting to see the diff.

So it really pays to try and keep 2 sets of gear just in case :)
 
Started farming for hellfire ammy, well the machines for them anyway after noticing the key marks on the maps, from what I read theyre only supposed to spawn during an event but they seem to be up all the time?
 
Once again I played for a few hours once Season 4 started, and yet again I've not touched it since........ why oh why can't I get back into this game when I had so much fun with it before :(
 
Glanza, thanks - I did check out Quins build and just switching two of my runes (mantra & dashing strike) made a massive difference to survivability!

Sharpy - great post, cheers - gives a great direction for me to head in - it is my first monk so I appreciate the detail :D

Now I have to get farming.

Without F&R I saw my first 1bn crit :eek:

Will be interesting to see what happens when I get both of those rings :cool:

Also swap chant of resonance for guardians path, huge toughness boost. And unity ring if you need more

i'm also struggling to get F&R set, 4 restraints no focus! Crafted 20 or so rings, countless bloodshards. I'm using this for T7 death breath farming and seems ok, probably better ways to do it though http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Aphex-2500/hero/65755689
 
My god the cube powers can be game changers, went from feeling my dps was low on t1 to totally destroying everything so fast I couldnt build any fury, just by adding a schaefers to the cube. Now moved up to t3 just because of that, & still feel like I might be able to move up more, taking a fair bit more damage now tho.
 
One thing this season that has really started to get on my nerves is having to level multiple of the same gem just to use it on alts. I have 3 Gogok gems all needed on my WW barb, xp support barb and my heal monk. Blizzard really needs to think of a solution for this I shouldn't have to unnecessarily grind this gem another 2 times when one of them is already maxed out. Even if it was something along the lines of paying "x" amount of gold to copy the highest level you have.
 
Kinda no lifed this weekend, hit 70 friday and now i'm paragon 300 from scratch haha.

Only missing my fist of tazazausudwadawfh now.. the amount of blood shards i've pumped into fist weapons is upsetting haha.

On the bright side though i managed to get a very very good lions claw!!:

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Ashley-2315/hero/65615857

Once i get a few more dragon breaths i'll roll the 9% cdr to 10% :D in the meantime back to farming that fist...
 
So hit the 100 cubes items last night, going to try and finish the rest of the objectives now, I managed a solo 56 (or 57.....) Grift, slowly working my way towards that level 60 one, doing the objective where you finish a TX rift in like 3 minutes looks like it's going to be annoying 4 1/2 minutes seems to be the best I can do at the minute :-/
