I was going to sit this season out but the idea of starting over is enticing again. I'll probably go with Crusader.
Bane of the Trapped, Esoteric Alteration, and Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard
I tend to play somewhat defensively in general, though, so I'm using more defensive gems. The gem that boosts damage based on range is probably good too.
Yup, I've been using it to help my tiki doc do a bit more damage. Not nearly as dramatic a boost as with quetzecoatl, but it's handy.

This looks awesome, going to have to give this a shot. "God Monk" by Quin69(youtube link)
lol, that's great. I wonder if any other speed builds using in-geom will come up for T6.
Glad its not just me. I'm sure they'll have it fixed soon.
Tomorrow would be a good time.
It's fast as shit even without in-geom. The key piece in the t6 farm is the envious blade.
Hopefully I can find an ancient in-geom though, being able to spam dash is sweet.
Holy shit @ this build!
This playstyle reminds me of playing with hacked characters in D2 LMAO!
jesus.. Torment 6 now feels like Torment 1 if you have build.
Ancient In-Geom looks like a bitch to drop tho.
I'm still undecided on what to roll in S3.
Barb - Screw this, no mortrick's.
DH - While Whirlwind Nats DH Build is fun and fast on T6, I don't see this viable on GR40+. Or maybe my gear is just so unoptimized lol.
Wiz - Build I've seen from gabynator looks strong.
Monk - I ran Monk in S2, but I'm tempted to run this again because Monks is much stronger in S3 than they were in S2. And monks in S2 are amazing.
WD - Pet Doc seems strong as well, and laid back. Can also be turned into a zdps doc for high group GR.
Crusader - lol.
So basically Wiz, Monk, Doc.
argh..
Yeah I've been looking at the new defensive gems, and they are pretty interesting change of pace. Considering most of my progression now seems to be halted by death moreso than a lack of damage, I think I'll try this out.
I'm probably going to skip monk this season. I have nearly all ancient gear for both sets and shit. If I wanted to farm for perfect items makes more sense to just farm fast with the chars I have now. Thinking about doing WD since S1 WD really let me down but might do Barb or Wiz. Haven't played barb since vanilla and only briefly played Wiz in S1 after I realized how fucked WD was lol
I must say that they have absolutely hit the sweet spot for game balance with the T6 rift + grift structure. So many viable builds for people who just want to farm T6 and then there are the grifts for the people who want to see how high they can push their builds. It's really great.
I have enjoyed the game since day one of vanilla but the current state of affairs is truly excellent and perhaps the best it's ever been.

Yeah it's in a pretty sweet spot right now. Now if they'd fix the stash issue....
Part of the reason why I like playing seasons is so I get fresh, empty tabs to play with lol
Makes gearing up a fresh/underplayed class a lot easier
I have six mules for three characters. And still run into issues damnit.
My hoarding tendencies have paid off a couple of times already tthough. The latest being having a full set of TR ready to go when the patch hit. And those pieces were kept before they even announced they were changing the set.
I agree almost entirely. I still feel the game needs higher torment levels, and G-rifts need tweaking (especially the stupid trials), but overall, the game is the best its been since launch.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Oh? I thought Crusaders were doing well in 2.2.
Jesus Christ.
Roland's is pretty decent now, but there's not a ton of build variety since we only have the two sets. It's super fun though! I'm hoping for an Ashbringer to get some monstrous crits, I'm already doing close to 3bill with Shield Bash.
So what build/stats are you using for 2pc zuni? I have an old pet WD that used to be hot stuff (jeram, tnt, hom, finger, etc.), he's kind of petering out at low 30s for grifts, but to be fair to him I haven't played him at all (or any other char for that matter) since the introduction of grifts.
My crusader is the same way, shotgun build that used to dominate T6, but farts out at like 31 grift either due to bad luck or density. I'd like to get them higher but I've been out of the game so long I'm not sure what to go for.

Looks like I'm stuck trying to pick between wizard or dh. I don't really want to play melee classes and I have thousands of hours on my ns wd already.
From a min/maxing perspective, it seems like demon hunters will be more powerful and easier to play (wizards have to be conscious of those rotations). They're pretty much on par now, but demon hunters have dead man's legacy coming up (double multishot hits against enemies under 50-60% health).
For T6 (and speed GR), the demon hunters have this:

(video in the link)
I'm curious to see if any top builds wind up using the obsidian ring of the zodiac. The new condition's a lot more limited. "Your first hit with each cast of a resource-spending attack reduces the remaining cooldown of one of your skills by 1 second", so no spamming mantras, etc.
Thanks! Here's the context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK1yFuUpWIo
An interesting moral for a modern show and I really liked the delivery on that line.
Got 5 pieces of the new Wizard Slow Time set (the torso piece wont drop yet), repurposed a shitty old slow time wand and found a so-so Triumvirate and it's not too bad. Finding the sixth piece would let me remove the RROG for some other better ring, though I don't have the best rings in my stash. I never managed to find a fire SOJ, I only have an old Focus with no Restraint so I guess I'd use the Halo I found if the torso drops before some nice ring.
Anyways, I'm finding the Slow-Time gameplay kinda nice, though remembering to throw around some magic missile to keep up the Arcane Orb buff is something I find a bit annoying. I tried spicing things up using Mirror Images (the multiple bubbles right off the bat is a nice thing) but using Tornado along with Arcane Orb and Magic Missile seemed to make my do better.
GR Guardians have been assholes to me. I can't go too high like many of you (my top solo was 34 or 35 with Firebird) but seeing one of those assholes die and only drop 1 single leg makes me cry (meanwhile my friend was happy since it dropped 5 for him).

I want my S3 DH to look something like this: http://www.diablofans.com/builds/53970-s3-unhallowed-essence
Maybe tweaked a bit in some spots.

Interesting gem choices. Zeis (multiplicative damage) and Taeguk would be more offensive surely? and powerful is just bad outside of T6.
Totally D3 related, but why haven't we gotten a new episode in like 3 weeks!?!

I've never been good determining what gems would be best with the math on them. Just tossed in what looked decent. I'll have to look more closely at it when other people come out with UE builds. Taeguk is probably pretty good for it though.
Well for DH trapped and Zeis are always used. They provide an insane amount of dps so assume those will be used. Taeuguk can be hard to maintain but it's a nice amount of additive damage.
cdr might be best on it. It's only useful for T6 farming so really too much damage isn't needed. cdr for the downtime of the proc

Monk/WD for me, just don't want to deal with the rotation for Tal Rasha on Wiz. Barb will probably be strong but played it so much last season and just bored with it. Still have zero interest in the DH, not sure why.
Thanks, forgot about cdr; I don't remember what its sitting at with the quin build. Will check later.
Season 3 kicked off on EU 24 mins ago, won't be home to play it for a while yet
I'm jelly.
I got 7 hours to burn before my vacation for 2 days.
And S3 on NA will start tomorrow. -_-
Avoid and friends are just doing T6 Act 2 - Black Soulstone - Realm of Shadow Quest.
Just find and pick up the body of Zoltun and instant exp.
Currently lvl 37~..
They just need a DH runner or something.
oh yeah..
still, I'm not gonna be around when it launch. :/
