Diablo 3: Season 7 Review
I broke down the other day and rebirthed one of my undergeared Witch Doctors as I got that urge to start from scratch again. It didn’t take long to get basic gear and I’m currently struggling to get some of the rarer necessary items. Even though I haven’t played this season that long, I wanted…

Diablo 3: 7 Fun Builds that Got Nerfed into Oblivion
Today, I want to talk about various fun builds in Diablo 3 that got nerfed into nothingness. These builds aren’t necessarily great builds for pushing high Greater Rifts nor are they ones that may have been universally loved. They are builds that I played at some point that may have been Meta or at least…

Diablo 3: Season 7 Helltooth Witch Doctor Fun Pet Build
I won’t get into how triggered I am regarding the Ring of Emptiness nerf that happened at the last second. That issue deserves a blog post on its own some day. Instead, I want to focus on modifying the Helltooth meta slightly and demonstrate an interesting variation that I’ve been testing out that you can…

Diablo 3: More Ideas on Improving Competitive Leaderboards
While writing my previous Diablo 3 blog, something hit me about the idea of competitive play. Right now, the only source of competition is the highest Greater Rift one can achieve in a season. Unfortunately, the game burns people out quickly especially after the first week since everything revolves around pushing the highest Greater Rift.…

Diablo 3: Too Many Nerfs to Crowd Control and Solution to Seasonal Leaderboards
This latest patch will bring more nerfs to crowd control. Obviously, the issue Blizzard is attempting to resolve is perma-cc situations, which usually are part of the group meta as they seem to want people just playing pure damage builds rather than support builds. There’s been quite a number of nerfs over time to CC…

Diablo 3: Unhallowed Essence vs Marauders
With Season 7 coming around the corner, it’s time to choose a class. I already stated why I’m not going to start with a Demon Hunter this season in a previous blog. But the idea of knowing which set to start with in a season is critical and goes into the essence of the difference…

Diablo 3: Why I’m Excited for the Witch Doctor Meta in Season 7
Season 7 is coming up this week on Friday starting from 5pm PST. While there’s not a great deal of changes for this coming patch/season, the most notable change (at least for me) that will be coming up is the new Witch Doctor meta, where the Ring of Emptiness will open up more diversity in…

Diablo 3: Choosing A Starting Class in Season 7
Season 7 is coming on August 5th and with it starting from ground zero again. As with every season, it’s important choosing a solid starting character, especially for those planning to hit the season solo. Which character class will be the best for leveling in season 7?

Diablo 3: How to Potentially Solve the Solo vs Multiplayer Gap
Multiplayer will always have an advantage in Diablo 3 because fundamentally one of Blizzard’s core values is on the social aspect of gaming. Thus, playing in a group would (and probably should) exhibit clear benefits. But having a solid group in Diablo 3 also means gaining a massive advantage both in terms of items from…

Diablo 3: Should Firebird’s 2 Piece Bonus Be Reworked?
My title for this blog is more of a rhetorical question rather than a real question because the answer is clearly: YES! I overheard someone talking about the previous season’s Firebird set and how getting through T2 Zoltun Kulle was a little problematic. And when you have problems killing one of the easier bosses in…
