Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

[TugboatWilly]

Third straight season of Twisters incoming.

[Dark Link]

Also looks like another FB Archon season as well, which is fine by me.

Twisters (excluding those created with the Wicked Wind rune) will now despawn if they stop moving

And there we have it, folks. Twister meta is now dead.

Season ends tomorrow. Season 7 starts in two weeks

I'm feeling Demon Hunter for this one, but the motivation to even get the stash space is...

[Dark Link]

Of course Season 6 had to end when I was on vacation.
As far as I know, I'm still sticking to Wizard since FB Archon seems to still be the dominant build for solo / group play. I lost track at which Stash tab I'm at and how many are left.

Patch 2.4.2 is live and from what people are saying, it's not worth doing T11/T12/T13 until you can absolute faceroll the difficulties so they feel like you're on TX

Also a reminder that Season 7 starts this Friday at the usual time of 5pm PDT.

Hit 4 Goblin rifts today. One may have even been a double goblin rift, not sure.

Working my way to being fully geared, just missing an ancient Yang's, Witching Hour, and a Focus. mfw

[Dark Link]

Could be worse. The first Compass Rose I got was an ancient strength one with good rolls. My Templar is using it to my sadness.

It's funny, yet interesting that I could almost do this entire seasonal Journey with Tal'Hydra, but the problem is it's pretty slow in clearing rifts. Still need to acquire a Woh eventually for Flashfire.

Season 8: Deadest Gaem Edition

I guess this was foreashadowed yesterday where Nevalist said they might have eras or seasons without patches.
Blizzcon better be good.

Gotta get my stash tabs before the game dies!

[Dark Link]

RIP me ever getting stash tabs cause WoW Legion came out and has too much stoof.

Also Season 8 sets:
Barbarian - Immortal King's Call
Crusader - Seeker of the Light
Demon Hunter - Natalya's Vengeance
Monk - Uliana's Strategem
Witch Doctor- Spirit of Arachyr
Wizard - Vyr's Amazing Arcana

Hooray for Wizards getting the absolute worst set we have.

[TugboatWilly]

Monk gets U6 which is my favorite set so Monk it is again.

[Justin]

Really hoping there's something in the works for blizzcon at least :\ Then again, I think we all know better than to get our hopes TOO high, given last year. Season 8: Deadest Gaem Edition for sure.

[Dark Link]

Season 8 might be the time for me to change to something other than Wizard, because Vyr's is absolute garbage and I'd pretty much be stuck in T6 territory until 6pc Tal'Rasha or Firebird.

Thinking either Barb or DH this time around.

EDIT:

Looks like hardly anything is changing. Season Journey will be the same, just different bosses to kill at different breakpoints and different conquests to complete.

>first look into upcoming content.

DON'T DO THIS TO US, BLIZZARD!

Also RIP getting stash tab Season 7. Apparently Flashfire T13 requires nearly an entire new setup, along with a lot of augmenting, and I don't have the pieces needed for it. Plus there's some "Vyr'Rasha Archon" build that's stupid fast in key farming, but not so much DB farming and I didn't have any of the pieces for that.

Season 8 tracker is up and it's as I said, it's Season 7 with bosses moved around / swapped in.

EDIT:

Apparently the Season 8 journey is 100% impossible to complete right now, because the Conquest requirements for Destroyer and Conqueror cannot be completed.

How the hell does that happen when Blizzard literally changed nothing between Season 7 and Season 8?

[Dark Link]

A lot of stuff is starting to get leaked from the official Blizzard hosting servers and this in particular might be one of Diablo 3's leaks.

[TugboatWilly]

Reddit didn't really like the Diablo stuff at Blizzcon. Not sure why everyone was expecting D4 or D3X2 when most of the devs have been moved to other games and such. I don't mind that Necro+whatever else is included is DLC as long as the price isn't too bad.

The subreddit hyped themselves up too much. Plus the whole "Job postings for the Diablo universe" kind of had hope for D3X2 or D4.

Also QnA is up on DiabloFans

[TugboatWilly]

The only updated legendary that interests me is Faithful Memory for Crusader but it doesn't fix the fact that Hammerdin is as soft as paper.

[JoeTang]

The amount of cancer in the subreddit is honestly quite amazing.
I have 1960 hours logged, and there are probably people there with more than me pomegranateposting how this wouldn't be worth it.
hurrdurr everything should be free hurrdurr please add more developer time hurrdurr

Hopefully, they have some more meaningful balance changes for skills, since 6 items is pretty underwhelming for a season, though the rift improvements should be cool. It's about as much as one can expect with such a small team and so few dev hours.

Not sure what the impact that Saffron Wrap will have on Whirlwind Barbs, but the fact that it isn't on an actual Mighty Belt really hurts. I thought they learned this already.
Manald Heal is a second ring for lightning Wizard so... I guess no F&R for them. Considering giving this a try actually just for giggles.
Faithful Memory isn't too great for Falling Sword... The problem has always been that Falling Sword is literally only used as a buff button to survive, I guess now it can also give damage, but the skill itself is still garbage.
Rabid Strike is good offhand for Sunwuko LTK builds I suppose though if I recall correctly, bell builds try to avoid teleporting when using Epiphany. Free double damage though. Doesn't replace any Uliana's, or break Inna's which is mostly generators.
Hellcat Waistguard seems like it would be cool for a generator build but... it's a "chance" too... Honestly don't expect this to be any good since generator builds for Demon Hunter are bad and there's literally no other item for Grenades.
Barber seems pretty cool, hopefully it works with Gazing Demise, but Spirit Barrage isn't a channeling spell... still...

Also Akkhan's is getting a 7th set piece in the form of a Neck. And champion / elite packs are getting a new Affix in the form of "Juggernaut", which increases their resistance to CC abilities.
