I have 7 spare D:
...and GR70 down with 9ish minutes to spare. I'm 520 on the leaderboard.
There are a few places I need better gear - shoulders, gloves and weapon, but so far I'm very happy with my Barb. Starting to catch up with my off season paragon level though... 737 off, 558 on.

Ran a GR60 solo earlier today. With fully ranked up gems and a better weapon I will expect to go much higher.
DH M6 was pretty easy. The only annoying part was not letting the worm dudes spawn directly under you.
Unless they changed the m6 challenge in season.
And cheers for the vaults!

For me, UE was harder than shadow because of stupid RNG. Once I figured out what to do with shadow, it took me 3 tries to master it. Mara was RNG dumb, but easy. Nats was a total joke. Easily mastered it on try 2 by using strafe. I did UE, Mara, and Nats with all the same gear except for set pieces, and skills. MS, Strafe, + generator, prep punishment, bat companion, sentry.

I know, but even when I do random stuff I can't seem to forget about it.
Haha, it happens. I had luck with gear so far, but not with Ramaladni.
LoN WD is slooowly coming together. Pet helltooth's ok but I don't have anything to do between cooldowns. Lots of running around trying to keep soul harvest stacks up without getting squished. Makes me miss the monk playstyle. Speaking of which:
Nice, I had been wondering if any monks out there were holding their cards. The guide's a bit inconsistent about the Epiphany rune - guess they used desert shroud for that run instead of soothing mist.
Edit: just noticed it's one DPS and three supports. Weird! Guess they'd have one big pile of mobs with twisters working away.

I'm almost ready for support WD too, I just don't have SMK yet.
Seems monk's uselessness in high GR has been greatly exagerated

So I have been playing WD this season, and have all my jade pieces. Found the Haunting belt, the bracers that give 6% dmg reduction per SH stack, Travelers Pledge/CompassRose, etc. Everything rolling with +Poison that needs to. It seems the game is telling me to play Jade. Just missing the Wormwood and maybe a Convention of Elements.
Just not sure that build is the safest build to be playing in Hardcore.
Is LoN Firebats going to be the "go to" build for higher GR pushing with WD?

This one is pretty easy with the right set up. Make sure you have no area damage and use the 100% crit dagger from the a3 cache. I 1 hit every single thing in that dungeon. I used prep punishment, bat companion, and templar for hatred. I used grievous wounds for impale.
If you want to cheese it, have a friend join you. You tag everything with impale, your friend follows behind a bit and cleans up what you dont kill.

i dont have much in the way of legendaries, basically what you see is the best i have. i was using 4p firebird and 2p Vyr's but changed to 6p firebirds to try and get used to it before trying to find that set dungeon. im getting one or two shot, but i can usually kill stuff without too much trouble.
the cold blooded was swapped out for unwavering will, if it doesnt update.

Feel like the purple arrow showing the KW location doesn't work 25% of the time
Also the 90% drop rate for machines is BS. Also haven't seen one double drop yet. Playing TX.

UE has randomness? I one shot it and found it like one of the easiest dungeon, it seemed really straightforward, just multishot the packs? Marauder was kinda annoying but pretty easy also. Nat was super easy, I guess easier than UE even. Shadow few tries to understand exactly what they meant by chains but after that it was pretty simple also.
I think Crusader has the easiest dungeons? The only one I had a bit of trouble with was Roland, and that's mostly because it's very very big so you need to have an efficient route to have enough time to kill everything. The actual objectives are a joke though and you're done like half way into the dungeon, rest is just clearing all the mobs. Light/Invoker I one shot, and I can't even remember what Akkhan was.
I think so, but I'm not sure how safe that is for hardcore either.

I had horrible luck getting enough packs of 20+. Then I got what I needed but there were 2 spiders left. That happend to me twice. Then I finally got it. Completing it wasnt too bad, mastering it was just a PITA.

Yay, finally got my 6-piece Jade Harvester set last night. Cool set. One-shotting a rift guardian with Soul Harvest is really fun.
I tried the set dungeon this morning - LOL, I didn't even get close to finishing it in time. I'm gonna have to watch some YouTube tutorials.

So how's everyone feeling Season 5?
I think I'm about done playing. For me it's good to binge weekends and play and get it out of my system. At this point I'm only using Kadala to get ancients and that still isn't fun for me.
My last goal is to hit GR70 and call it a day. I think I'm geared to do that already, though I might have to level some gems up.

keep your strippers out of my American football
I'm enjoying it, but I have the time to binge with it. I am actually only at level 50 with my Wizard. Just a few minutes a night is about all I can give it right now. I am enjoying it and it looks like I might get time to sit down for a couple of hours with it this weekend.

Mine is Paragon 800, then I might move on or wait for friends to play with.
It started on Friday the 15th.

You still need to kill the key wardens, but you are correct, they drop the machines. You need 1 of each to do all of the rooms to make the amulet. A nice new bonus is that the rooms now drop up to 3 pieces depending on difficulty. Also, the amulet is always socketed too, was like that in s4 as well.
GR50 is the new GR30, maybe less.
I can get you to GR50 easy. Hit me up bro I got you
Loving UE Demon Hunter this patch, it's the perfect set for rapid TX runs. Going to try out M6 build next once I build up a few more quality pieces.
Was thinking of messing around with Monk again (I played SC Monk last patch) and was wondering if anyone was running Inna's Monk this patch. Reason is I already have 2 perfect fists and would love to put them to work again. Quin put up a build but wanted to hear some GAF impressions.

Awesome. Thanks.
Has been a great season thus far. Loving Barb right now.
-Quake build is probably the most fun for me right now. It can also tank damage like a complete boss. I feel like a god.
-The IK charge setup is great for doing TX rifts but anything past that it is a complete pain in the ass for the RG or some elite packs.

I played Barb, Monk and WD last season and got both monk and WD to GR60 giving up on Barb because I thought it was boring.
What are the good characters to build on this time? Crusader any good? I've not really done a good crusader.

You picked a really good time to try Crusader! I'd say go with that.
I did a Shield Bash crusader during S4, it is pretty fun to dash in and make a group of enemies explode
But that is basicly everything you do
They're random. 3 of my 6 were ancient.
Yeah you can, she never puts out when you want her to. Lots of competition in that slot.
Really enjoying my crusader. I haven't played since season 2 and I'm already paragon 200+ on him.
The first class you level to 70 gets a free set for completing a couple easy challenges. Crusader gets a full 6 piece Invoker set, which is awesome because of the changes to how thorns work.
Yeah this one sucks. It's probably easiest to do with a buddy that can tag along and look for leftover snakes. But really, what a horrible enemy to have in one of these things.

Rift Guardians are busting my ass with my current build. Even with a Furnace cubed and 3+ minutes to spare I can't kill most of them in time at GR 68. Might need to level my Esoteric Alteration some more to see if that helps with the insta-gibs, or just more into Bane of the Stricken.

clearing TX in 3 minutes is the most entertaining shit this game has to offer. my goodness.
I can help! uh...maybe >__>
Also are there any reasonable Conquest missions? They all seem like bullshit.

The gold one is pretty easy. The gr 45 probably isn't too bad either now, there's lots of legendary synergy and builds that work for it.

I went full dps with the Leg Gems, Stricken + Trapped + Taeguk/Gogok. Don't know your class though, so they might not work.
