Anyone else in it? They just sent out 275,000 beta keys last week. I don't think they're alerting via email. If you've opted in to the beta, you should check your bnet account through the website and see if you've got it.
Alternatively, anyone have questions for someone who is in the beta? |

Leveling is so simple now that pretty much everyone runs season mode. That and the ability to play with the new legendary items before they make it into normal play. The new Occulus Ring and wizard boots I found are sweet for a fire build wiz. Of course, most of the neat gear we amass to make the perfect build will all be rendered moot with the next patch. |

Yeah, anything dealing with summons on a WD tends to not be as strong as summons from other classes. It's kind of stupid. I'm not sure what they're thinking. |

I disagree about tall man's finger. The summons are too weak to justify the loss of a rrog or a stone of Jordan. If they were set bonuses on a summon build? That'd be way better. |

I guess Tall Man's is a personal preference depending on build type. I run a pet build WD and paired Tall Man's with an Ancient Thing of the Deep to buff the survivability of my toon. That way I can pump more points into intelligence, critical hit chance and critical hit damage. If you have good protection gear already I can see where it would not be as useful.

I highly recommend you WD guys find a mask of jeram and a starmetal kukri. I am running a fetish build that can solo T6 greater rift 40+. It's pretty sick.

Just did a GR28 with my hardcore barbarian.. That was close time wise.

You shouldn't have left last night Sleepybear. After you logged off, Indubitably and I hit the Goblin hoard. We probably killed a dozen or more different gobs, and got a goblin portal. It was a heck of a good run!

It was pretty sweet, it wasn't a straight up mob like we got a couple of weeks ago. They were spaced pretty far apart honestly. I think we hit a gob or two on every map we were in. |

For irony, I had just left a game doing some grifts with Indub and had a vault pop! I can't say I raked in a ton of gold but 750-ish shards and a few 2h weapons which was nice.
I said at the beginning of the season that I would just level to 70 and then quit but I'm just not good at leaving things unfinished. I have a crappy crusader that is running a condemn build and it's pretty fun! |
|
|
I think Indub and I did about 30mil each. I was wearing my broken crown and was disappointed with the gem drop rate for myself. He pulled in 2 times what I did easily.

I'll be on my seasonal wizard today for a little bit doing t1 and t2 runs. I'll be trying out a bunch of ideas while gearing up. I'm thinking on trying out the new energy twister bracer once I get it. I've always liked using that skill against frozen enemies.

Obviously if I'm just running t6 rifts it doesn't matter, but trying to make any reasonable progress on grifts is a pita. Edit: If anyone wants, add Maish #1494 |

I don't do public games. I am always happy to assist clan members, however. I figure the main purpose of the clan is benefit clan members who are hopefully mature like minded individuals who belong to the best gun board on the web. I can honestly say I never had a bad experience gaming with Arfcom clan members, YET.

I had ported back to spend shards and clicked on the rift dude instead of kadala. I know I'm not the only one who chains rifts so much that you lose track. So keep grouping with me! |

Doing a tal rasha meteor build this season and finally got my second piece of Tal Rasha. Constant meteors is fun, especially with the new boots that add 100% meteor damage.
