Seasonal Start Mega Guide

So after buying D4 sinking maybe 30 hours into it….i decided to buy D3.

D3 is 10x more fun, it looks incredible - how a game should look….

I literally won’t play D4 until it’s as simple & genuinely fun as D3.

I feel dumb for not playing this years ago…

Hi all,

I haven’t been playing S39, and I have nothing left to do in Non-Seasonal (NS) until S40.

I was thinking of farming Sir William again in Whimsyshire (I have a Staff of Herding and I’ve already done... 386 unsuccessful runs) to get the only cosmetic I’m still missing: the Rainbow Portrait.

I’ve read that the best strategy is for each person to open a game and invite 3 other players when Sir William is found. That doesn’t seem like a great strategy to me, because if I’m the one who encounters him, there’s a 100% chance I’ve already dashed into him and killed him with my Dash Monk.

There also seems to be this rule:

“Only TWO unique spawns can spawn in one game in Whimsyshire, and Evil Oliver and Super Awesome Sparkle Cake are always one of them. This means that if you meet Tubbers, Midnight Sparkle, or another random unique spawn before you run into Evil Oliver or Super Awesome Sparkle Cake, then you know Sir William can no longer spawn in that game. You should therefore just leave, remake the game, and start a new Whimsy run. Knowing this definitely saved me some time on unnecessary clears!”

I tend to apply this rule when I solo, but if several of us are playing together, I’m not sure it would save us much time.

So the strategy I suggest, as Sir William can spawn anywhere on the map, is that we all go in separate directions to clear the map as fast as possible, check in the Chat Window to see if we have met Sir William or not, and then reset the game over and over again (maybe in Normal, so that we are not distracted by the loot).

If you’re interested, feel free to send me an invite if you play on the EU server! Here’s my BattleTag: Nikookaburra#2952

(Or you can just react below with your BattleTag, and I'll send you an invite.)

Anyone interested in farming rainbow goblins? Seasonal on eu with a speedbuild pls.

Feel free to dm

I think it's crazy that they make you do this grind every season to complete the altar.

Just wondering if I'm in the minority or not.

I’ve played the current season, 39, but was curious if someone could enlighten me on a way to quickly level in non-season as a witch doctor currently level 47. I am on Xbox so PL isn’t really an option since there seems to be low player count. TYIA

Or do I need to roll a specific character or build or gear setup to even be able to stand a chance in SSF?

I need my third conquest after 'Avarice' and 'The Thrill'. Apparently 'Boss Mode' is supposed to be the third easiest by far but it seems very daunting. Especially as this is my first season and first character - Rathma necromancer (850 paragon) - so I'm not good at reading the maps yet.

Is it enough to just respec into 'Blood Rush - Metabolism', 'Bone Armor - Harvest of Anguish', throw some movement speed gear on ('Boon of the Hoarder', movement speed boots, ring, amulet) and expect to be able to finish after some practice? 16 bosses in 20 minutes seems crazy to me when you factor in travel time but I don't know how crazy exactly.

Hey Guys,

Does anybody have some tips for the Challenge Rift 479??? Either I'm failing bc of time or I die all the time. I dont know what to do 😭

Let's imagine Blizzard descended from the heavens and created a season that combined all seasons and all their features. The question is, how much will people be able to get into the game if the restrictions on the level of the Great Portal and the leveling of legendary gems are removed?

hello friends, long time diablo player, but first time on the switch, I was wondering if someone could perhaps powerlevel me so I can get past the boring tedious part and play the "real" game, spamming rifts and bounties 💀

Hello, looking for friends who play diablo 3 on ps4. I might start running rifts but would love to befriend that niche that still plays on ps4

Did it... finally!

It took almost 5 months (after I cleared a GR149 in 13'24 on April 1st with 5,856 Paragon points) and 4,120 keys, but GR150 is down again, with my main class this time. I cleared it 12 seconds faster than the GR150 I took down a couple of weeks ago with LoD Death Nova, so that’s nice.

Here is the link to the video 📺 : https://youtu.be/lDbAFRnPWLc

I feel a huge mix of joy and… relief! As a side note, I had planned to quit this push today, after I used the 250+ keys I had left, and not to come back to it before I had farmed a lot of XP during Season 40, i.e. about 120 days from now.

What can I say about this clear?

Well, there are a couple of quite funny things:

- I died… 8 times! 3 times before the boss, and 5 times against the boss. Hamelin is a great boss to fight at lower GR levels as he spawns adds, but he is one of the worst bosses at this level (considering my Paragon level), as he can easily one-shot you.

- Hamelin is also a boss (the only one? I’m not sure anymore…) who can jail you under an effing dome! It made the end of the fight quite comical — you can even hear me yelling “NOOOOOOOO, #@/!!?=#” as… well, I’m not going to spoil it, as it is quite fun to watch on the video! (I wasn’t sure there were enough mobs left further on, so I chose to get to 100% progression right at the entrance of the level.)

So this makes this run a very memorable one to end this push.

Besides that:

- You can also see how I geared my Enchantress so that she can’t die in a GR150.

Anyway, many thanks to all the players who answered my questions about this build over the years — and I have asked many! In turn, I would be happy to help newer Akkhan players if I can.

As for now, I will take a break from the game until the start of Season 40, where I’ll try to farm some XP in group on the EU server if I have time (feel free to send me an invite if you feel like it so we can play together - Nikookaburra#2952). And then I’ll try to take a GR150 down with Rathma (I’m talking NS of course — what could be as fun and pleasant to play as NS? 🤷‍♂️😄😄).

Here is an update of what I managed to do so far with the builds I pushed in NS:

Just to clarify: with Akkhan, that makes 4,120 keys, but it was likely the 6th run that had the potential to be a clear—I probably failed 5 times before that.

Bottom line: if you have about 5000-6000 paragon points in NS and you want to clear a GR150, LoD Death Nova and Akkhan probably are very serious contenders!

i found this diablo 3 key in eneba and i bought some weeks ago the gears of war 4 xbox live key and it worked on pc but idk if this one works too

I run a witch doctor class, need help with running a couple greater rifts, username is b Roe on PSN add me an ket me know what torment your running im currently at 5 an can do 6 but need help with dps

Mostly jus looking for people to play the game with

I’m currently building a Legacy of Dreams (LoD) Blessed Shield Crusader. I love the Captain America fantasy of throwing the shield around, even though my friend keeps giving me crap for not playing a top-meta build.

I want to enjoy the game's actual progression loop instead of just sitting at the entrance of a high-tier Greater Rift while my friend carries me—in my opinion, taking the easy carry ruins the fun.

A few questions for the Crusader mains out there:

1. Can I reliably level LoD solo from scratch? My plan is to run lower GRs, level up the gem gradually, farm better gear along the way, and organically climb up to Torment 16. Is this feasible with LoD Blessed Shield?
2. What are the key break points for LoD Blessed Shield? Which specific legendary items (like Jekangbord or Gyrfalcon's Foote) give the biggest immediate damage spikes while my LoD gem is still low level?
3. Any tips for smoothing out early/mid-game progression solo?

Appreciate any advice on optimizing the build without needing a carry!

So I ain’t play much Diablo but I remember how much I enjoyed it when I played it back then so booted up my ps3 and just got back into Diablo 3. I know the version I’m playing is very behind and not up to date. With that being said I went and took a look in the ps store on my ps5 and Diablo 3 the eternal collection is $60 but Diablo 4 is $50. Judging by the pricing I assume Diablo 3 is better than 4 but makes me wonder is it really ? I’m looking for opinions to help me with this transaction! Whatever game I get ima have my buddy purchase so we can play together and I’d like to purchase/recommend the better game within the series cause he played Diablo 3 and knows it’s good and it makes him wonder also if diablo 4 is good, better, or worst than the prior. Thanks in advance🙏🏼

I have googled this question, but I got a few inconclusive answers, so maybe you guys have more detailed info: What is the highest level paragon that has been achieved?
I saw the answers differ from 10.000 to 25.000 or even 30.000, but other than that, nothing that really confirms anything.

I haven’t played Diablo in a while so I booted up my ps3! Anybody still play here and there?

Hey all,

I am unable to complete the Conquests (completed one - GR 45, other two are remaining, one for Conqueror and one for Guardian), will be trying for 50 million Gold through Bounty Caches and Kill Malthael in 1 min and 30 seconds.

Is there any trick that I am missing? Can you please help me with that?

TIA.

Anyone have any modded gear for non seasonal ps5. Trying to rebuild everything.

I am trying to improve my solo push this season. I am at about 1500 paragon, 4 primal ancients. Currently at 135 GR. One thing I notice is that I bleed my bone armor stacks fast with some elites and the rift guardian impacting the bonus from SoC. It’s obviously a consequence of that gear.

How do people approach elites and the RG? With an elite I know to look to draw mobs first and with the RG to save some pylons.

But are you just stuttering siphon blood, triggering death nova when CoE is on off cycles then spamming in the physical element? Are there better 4th slot options if this is my issues but the trash mobs would be hard?
