  • Diablo 3: Altar Completed Today

    I finished up my Altar today. The last real barrier was an Ancient Puzzle Ring. I solved that (har) by reforging in the Cube until it was Ancient. Took quite a bit of mats but my luck this season with drops had been somewhat subpar. That said I did manage to get a Primal Ancient…

  • Diablo 3: Challenge Rift Down; Season 30 Progresses

    Found out late tonight that the Challenge Rift was a gimped version of the GoD build. While the build itself wasn’t optimized (man, I want to punch out whoever put that together!), the actual Challenge Rift wasn’t that bad. So I decided to give it a shot as it’s pretty hard to go wrong on…

  • Diablo 3: Season 30 Continuation Weekend

    I didn’t have a lot of time this past week to get a chance to progress in Diablo 3. Part of it was that the Challenge Rift ended up being complete rubbish again so I lost a bit of motivation to pursue the Altar. However, this weekend I had been playing with my Barbarian a…

  • Diablo 3: Balls Out Theorycrafting An Uber Season

    Given that we won’t see new seasons, one thing I do hope for in the future (beyond my usual complaints of getting more Emanating follower items, making more of the legendary gems useful and adding new powers to bland and worthless legnadaries) is a balls out Diablo 3 Season that takes the best seasons and…

  • Diablo 3: My Season 30 Strategy

    Now, that I had the opportunity to play the PTR, I started to formulate a strategy for the upcoming season 30. I mentioned the previous night/blog that I would give a few more builds a try. In that case, I played around with the Helltooth Witch Doctor and a Delsere Wizard. I avoided the Necromancer…

  • Diablo 3: PTR For Season 30

    I finished up my excursion on the Season 30 Diablo 3 PTR today. I gave most of the classes a whirl (except Necromancer which simply does not appeal to me) and a few builds before returning to my trite and true favorite, the GoD demon hunter. I might give a few more builds a try…

  • Diablo 3 – Season 29 Thoughts

    Today, I leveled up my 7th character of the season, a Barbarian. Initially, I started her off just as an LoD Seismic Slam -> Hammer of the Ancients build then swapped over to Immortal Kings to Horde of the Ninety Savages and finally to Wrath of the Wastes. It took me a good part of…

  • Diablo 3: Altar of Rites Thoughts

    While Season 30 is said to be the end of seasonal development, the one positive that the developers have mentioned is the incorporation of the Altar of Rites as a permanent feature moving forward. It was not included in Season 29 as people theorize that it’s being adjusted. I’m guessing that the adjustment is to…

  • Diablo 3: Patch 2.7.5 PTR for Season 28

    Called Rites of Sanctuary, the next season for Diablo 3 introduces a shrine where you make various sacrifices to customize an account-wide series of powerful seasonal buffs that range from quality of life improvements to defensive/offensive adjustments. As my time has become more limited as of late, I decided to use the PTR as my…

  • Diablo 3: Patch 2.7.4 PTR Delsere’s Magnum Opus Slow Time/Arcane Orb Build for Season 27

    Delsere’s Magnum Opus is another set getting a re-haul along with the Crown of the Primus. As per the developers, Delsere’s Magnum Opus felt a bit clunky and with these changes, hopefully the set will feel a bit better and motivate more people to try it out. Along with these changes, Arcane Orb will be…
