Even to a brand new season character? I did have some saved up on my WD, would have made the whole starting over bit a ton easier.

Good to know for next season.
Maybe I wrote my previous post a bit misleading.

They're separated like this:
Softcore Non-Season
Softcore Season
Hardcore Non-Season
Hardcore Season

So your first seasonal won't obviously have your NS shards because it's supposed to be a 100% fresh start, but all blood shards you earn in season can be used by all characters and classes in the same season, etc. So you can save up with one class and keep switching to spend them on another, in the same season/mode.

Ah ok, I'm only going to play my monk, but it's good to know for the future if I do a second character next season.

If you still have no luck on the boots, you can also try the cube method. Upgrade a rare boot into a legendary one if you have the materials.

Just complete the first 3 season journeys for the gifts. Once you get all Innas set, you'll be rocking TX easily. ;)

Spent some time (and all my Forgotten Souls/Death's Breaths) upgrading my Inna's and other legendaries. Went from 790k damage to 980k damage. Trying out the Cyclone strike build, it's pretty powerful, requires a lot more attention and work to maintain though, might go back to my Winds damage reduction.

Cyclone strike build? Like every build uses cyclone for pulling mobs in.

I just finished the Season 10 chapters 1-4 yesterday. It's my first season (playing on PS4 Pro), and it's pretty straight forward. Would have expected a bit more effort, but nice to have new challenges.

The other chapters are just to get portrait frames, banners etc.? You can only get one set from haedrigs gift during the season, or more?

Only 1 set from the gifts.
 
i am trying to get to the realm of putridness but the keywarden Sokahr isn't dropping anything. tried logging out and back in but nothing.

Drop rates are tied to difficulty, you need to increase it.

That is an old chart search for a newer one.

What difficulty? The higher the difficulty, the more likely it is to drop, I think at T6 and up, it's a 100% guaranteed drop from keywardens.

EDIT: Ok, not 100%, but still.

forgot all about that. i was on T1. set it to T7.

now i'm trying to do the dungeon set for my demon hunter (marauder). i can't let enemies get within melee range but they keep teleporting right to me. and i can't get any kills with 3 sentries active. i have no idea what i'm doing.

Just did GR70 on my seasonal DH, that unlocks Primal Ancients, right?

Went back to my monk and it feels like walking in treacle compared to the impale DH.

FINALLY managed to master the Sunwuko dungeon. God damn, that was infuriating, I kept missing one or two mobs and I would time out.

And there's a special reward for mastering them all? Fuck that, no way it's worth the mental stress.

urgh this demon hunter set dungeon is so frustrating! i'm using the season set gift (marauder). any tips?

I don't know if this counts as a tip, I've played DH for multiple seasons and have never been able to master the Set dungeon using marauders' gear.

What I do is collect the natalya's pieces during runs and run that set dungeon - it is one of the easiest set dungeons to do.


currently I have done two conquests (gems + 6 different gears soloing GR) I need one additional conquest, it seems like the boss run (20 minutes for all bosses) is very popular, but I think I'm way too slow

are people generally co-oping this conquest or soloing it?

if soloing, what was your DH set up (denettas?)

i was thinking about doing another set but i'll leave it. i only have 3 pieces of the shadow set. anyway for some reason i already have the portrait reward so not gonna bother finishing it. this is about as far as i am gonna go with the season. champion was too much a struggle for me in 9.

I get it, I'm starting to burn out too. I've made it farther this season with respect to paragon than I have in any other previous seasons (but I Think they made paragon much easier to obtain)

I like to try to complete the full season, but this season my terrible RNG luck has limited my desire to continue

If you do get the opportunity to complete the shadow set, go for it - the shadow impale is the most fun I've had with the game since my first yang/dml DH in season 7

The boss run is easy to do. I did it solo as a monk, but I helped my DH buddy do it by running to the bosses for him with an infinite dash set up while he just demolished the bosses. If you're on tonight or this weekend hit me up and I can help you with it.

that would be great, I'm tethering via a cell phone for today, but I will certainly take you up on that either this evening or this weekend

Thanks.

Just hit GR70 with my DH. Shadow set is really much stronger then Marauder. Even though I felt I had a better rolled items for Marauder, the shadow set is still much stronger.
Rolled quivers(as mine still doesn´t have CC) at Kadala and got my first Primal:

Would have prefered a Holy Point Shot, but it will do for my Marauder build :)

i've actually done it much quicker this time. season 9 was my first. i have about 80 hours on my wizard and i only got as far as completing champion. i'm about 15 hours in with my demon hunter and only need the set dungeon to finish Slayer.

i will use the shadow set if i get all the pieces but i'm done trying to progress through the season. i was only gonna play enough to get the full set in the first place. since i already have the portrait for Slayer i'm not bothering finishing it.
 
I watched some necro play and he looked really underwhelming. Didn't like how the skeleton archers and mages disappear after like 5 seconds

Aren't there not any sets or legendaries yet for the Necro? Bet you'll see stuff like how WD has Zuni's and belt of transcendence for fetishes to make their minions stay out longer.

IIRC, there's Sets for Necros, but they don't currently have any Set Bonuses implemented.

The rewards after getting the set are a bit underwhelming. Just a few portraits that are not that different?

I would have went on for a pet or some wings etc. (like the cool butcher or cow pet in January).

Instead me and a friend are going to try to master all set dungeons - that'll be quite a journey :)

Rip in frustration. Seriously though, good luck.
 
Oculus Ring not working anymore if you put it on follower?

My dmg isnt changing when I go to the aura. :|

It is a multiplicative bonus so you will not see a boost in sheet damage.

EDIT - Got my Swamp Land Waders finally for my LoN build. Public games were DHs and Wizards out the ass so I rebirthed my WD. Used gem of ease on an ancient maximus and went glass cannon on T6 until I got to level 50.

Kept getting blood shards on my Monk for the WD to gamble but they still were not dropping. Leveled to 51 and got them like candy. Then realized that level 51 gear stays at 51 when rerolled on a higher character. Did Hope of Cain instead as they stay 70. Primal first try.

I have a stupid question I guess. I am not at that point but I am wondering, how do you unlock the option to do a higher GR? The last option I have is a GR62. Do I need to do that one, too unlock a lvl 63 and so on? Or am I missing something.

It unlocks higher grifts based on the time of completion of your highest completed grift. If you are very fast it unlocks a grift many levels higher. If you are slow it only unlocks then a grift or two higher than the completed one.

thats how it worked for me - I'm not exactly sure when it becomes one higher each round - earlier on I was moving up two at a time but I think around 70 it became one at a time.

edit: post above makes too much sense.

I'm at a loss for what to focus on after I managed to clear GR70 on my wiz. I have the full set for the Manald Hydra Archon build, but GR70 took a lucky dungeon roll to clear. Now I'm not sure what I should focus on or even what my next goal is.

I don't think I can clear any higher GR at the level my gear is, but overall I think it's pretty good. Do I just grind lower GR and hope I get a small upgrade?

Oh thanks to both of you. Will be a long road to get to 70 it seems :D.

Hmm could work I guess. I did a GR64 today, but just barely, which is funny because I did a GR62 with almost half the time left xD.
