  • Diablo 4: Spiritborn Quill Volley Eagle Class/Build Review

    After becoming frustrated with the Dance of Knives Rogue build (which may have a bug as per an upcoming patch will fix), I decided to cave in and roll a Spiritborn class. In reading various write ups and watching a few streams, I came to the conclusion that the top build would be the Quill…

  • Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Review

    Originally, my expectations for the expansion were quite low based on a few things that I had tried in the PTR as well as the supposedly lauded “raid” or “coop dungeon” (as Blizzard prefers to term it). The story itself wasn’t something I felt would be exciting and I had no idea what the Spiritborn…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: My Class Evaluation

    After this latest play through of Bard’s Tale 3, I figured it might be a good time to do a full class write up, going over strengths, weaknesses, some party ideas and my own experiences.

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Last Day

    I just realized that the Diablo 4 expansion starts tomorrow rather than on Tuesday (for NA/PST), which means my Bard’s Tale 3 play through is coming to an end. Truthfully, I was getting a little burnt out and while the thought experiment of having a three Geomancer party sounded novel, I figured it would just…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Possible Change In Party Configuration

    Today, I managed to push my secondary party through to the end game of Malefia. Right now, I’m merely grinding out levels. While I’m not exactly struggling, I do find a few situations to cause my party a little grief, namely with regards to my Monk. Originally, I had wanted a Monk as part of…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Working on 3rd Geomancer

    After reading that tip on a two Geomancer party, I decided to give it a shot. I powereleveled one to level 18 and now am working on another from my secondary party. This other Geomancer is at level 15 and I hope to get her one more run in Malefia for a few additional levels…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: A Re-Re-Review

    With Diablo 4’s expansion coming up, I decided to take a break from that grind and look into another game. I did give Ultima 6 another shot but found myself getting frustrated with an abomination of an interface (yes, I’m getting old) and decided to look for something else to temporarily absorb my attention. Since…

  • Diablo 4: Made Small Progress with Sorcerer

    I decided to test the new cable modem I acquired which complimented my increase in bandwidth recently. While I didn’t have terrible problems in the past, occasionally I would encounter severe lag in the game and couldn’t really figure out where the bottlenecks were since the game isn’t well optimized from what I can tell.…

  • Diablo 4: Latest PTR Impressions for Patch 2.0

    I decided to try a little more of the PTR with the so-called Runeword drops being enabled as my biggest interest (along with the cheat vendor which honestly was the best thing in the entire PTR experience for me). Right now, I don’t have a good impression of Diablo 4 based on what I have…

  • Diablo 4: Patch 2.0 PTR Experience So Far

    Finally, I managed to spend sometime leveling a new druid (because I couldn’t load my existing Eternal Realm characters earlier) on the PTR. I went with a Companion style Druid because it felt pretty strong and there were a few adjustments I wanted to make especially in anticipation of the real patch (i.e. Runewords) that…
