  • 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…

  • Twitch Bullshit Drama

    Okay, there’s no question that Twitch has it’s share of drama. It’s been going on for a while and honestly it’s horribly pathetic. I’m going to go on a pretty gnarly rant AGAINST Twitch and how they’ve created their own monster and all the stupid shit that needs to be addressed.

  • 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…

  • Diablo 3: My Take on Botting and the Banwave

    The other day Blizzard decided to do a massive banwave on various players. While the specifics of what the offense entailed remain tight lipped, the most probable cause was the demand for an end to botting. There was one known offender who even got shut out during his stream. That said, I wanted to delve…

  • Diablo 3: To Buff or Not to Buff Items

    There’s an ongoing thread regarding some of the upcoming patch 2.4.1 changes that can be seen on diablofans. One of the comments someone on the d3 forums mentioned was the observation that mostly this patch will just buff items and some skills, leading to more power creep. While I don’t know if this particular patch…

  • Diablo 3: Innes Build with Tasker and Theo Gloves

    Right now, the Innes Monk is possibly my favorite build next to the Marauder Demon Hunter build. I’ve seen a few variants of the build, including one that uses Exploding Palm and the hardcore one that Quin69 uses that goes for more defensive stats. But oddly enough, I haven’t really seen anyone use Tasker and…

  • Diablo 3: Innes’ Monk Build 3.0

    Right now, the top end monks for Season 5 use the revamped Innes set. The new Innes set is all about the Monk’s allies. This post talks about the basic build and a variant I’m running.

  • Diablo 3: Delsere’s Magnum Opus 2.0 Review

    The big thing about Season 5 for Diablo 3 was how Wizards now have become one of the top classes in the game alongside Crusaders. One of the more popular builds is for DPS in 4 man groups which has become the season’s group meta. What has changed and what makes the Delsere’s such a…
