^ Thats my physical sader If you have the gear and it looks like you more than do; could try this build out see what you think
I always wanted to see someone run a baleful remnant with a zero down time 6 set akkhans.
Also the OP posted this only 4 days ago and already his gear on his profile has changed over to Fire so I guess that physical build wasn't as powerful as he hoped it to be.
My 2 cents. I tried streaming d3 a year or so ago cause I enjoyed some other streamers so I thought, why not me. If you decide to try it out get use to being a fart in the wind unless you learn how to promote yourself. I liked trying to interact with people through chat but I think at my best I had 40 viewers. However in hindsight I didn't make youtube videos, I wasn't active on forums, I didn't have a twitter account, basically zero self promotion. I just wanted to play and talk to people about D3. Unless you are just doing it for the love of it I would hope you have realistic expectation about your possible popularity. Would you still stream everyday even if your viewer ship never goes over 10 ppl? I think is a goo question to ask yourself THats just my own experience other peoples will obviously vary.
What I enjoy in a stream? someone who interacts with chat, someone who answers question, someone who wants to help educate others about their knowledge about the game. background music is fine, I don't care about seeing your face, in fact I hate it when a streamer clutters the screen with twitter feeds, donation scrolls, the name of songs that are playing. I like things simple. What I hate that streamers do? fucking constant giveaways and raffles to try and pimp their streams just to try and get a high viewer count so they can get a twitch partnership. I understand the need to run ads if you are popular enough, but don't whore out your stream just to try and make a buck. Also assholes who pretend be crippled to solicit donations, they are the absolute scum of streaming, don't know what I'm talking about? Google a faggot named ZilianOP he's a shining example of everything NOT to do as a streamer.
Thught I would share an old school blunder in hopes of making you feel better. Im 12 years old and into D2 big time! All I think about are boobs, and D2. I save up a stash inventory of SOJ's because I have this idea in my head about a fury barb who uses 2 staffers hammers. I thought it would be sooo cool a barb that swings super fast using hammers and dropping shock novas on cows. I find someone trading a near perfect schaffers, says he'll trade for 30 Soj. I get in the game and he's blabbering on about having to go soon so I need to hurry up. I drop all the soj's into the trade screen and hover over the hammer on his side to make sure its legit. It is, he starts picking it up and putting it back into the trade screen, this was done to show its not a dupe. I hit accept, he accepts and leaves the game almost immediately. Im so excited I go to hover over my new glorious hammer and see that its the shitty ass legendary rock breaker, which uses the exact same skin. I had fucked up, he had switched the hammers when he was picking it up and putting it back down and in my excitement I forgot to hover over the hammer to double check that it was still there. I got scammed and had no one to blame but myself. My stomach dropped when I realized I lost my entire fortune. Now some of my knowledge or memories of the incident may not be accurate as its been a long ass time since I played that game, but the TLDR; is that I acted like a newb and got scammed out of everything. I know they rnt identical situations but what I'm trying to say is that I feel your pain bro.
Act 2 -Howling Plateau - Razormouth - Essence of the Twin Seas
This alone does work, but I was grinding for the Essence last night and getting the razormouth quest to spawn seems to be really difficult. some people reported getting it within 15 games, some people said they had over 80 game resets without getting the quest. There is another random spawn in the sewers named Moontooth who hides in a pile of debris in a dead end. The sewers are a small area to search and is a lot more productive than trying to kill Razormouth.
I needed two essences, when I would start a game I would look for the razormouth quest, if it wasn't there I would go search sewers quick looking for moontooth. I had over 50 games resets before I got the 2 essences, both came from moontooth and I didn't see the razormouth quest once.
IMO this is the best way to go about farming the Essence of the twin seas.
Im not sure if your idea is the best way to go about it, HOWEVER (lol), I do agree with you that there should be something implemented that spreads the cost of the rift amongst the entire party to incentivize everyone to stay till the end of the rift. I wouldn't mind if they reworked rift fragments in order to get a better rifting system going.
From the reading I have done fire is an ok choice but holy is still the way to go. If you do go fire report back with your findings I would be interested in hearing how you found it
Ladders/seasons is a clunky old solution, to an old problem that we don't even have anymore. There are better ways to bring in competition and make the game interesting.
Oh really? is there better ways? So what are they?
Rifts are a band aid solution to keep ppl playing while they try to dream up a way of convincing people to re-roll characters and introducing a level of replay-ability to the game that they saw in D2 and have failed terribly at in recreation in this iteration, while other games such as POE have great systems (including seasons which is where they probably took the idea (yes ladder resets from d2 can be viewed as a type of long term season but not with the same amount of control or innovating season game mechanics.)) Im not saying 'go play POE', I am saying the problem is trying to keep ppl interested in this game beyond accumulating the best items. What Blizzard wants is getting ppl interested in re-rolling time and time again sinking more and more hours into the game beyond grinding rifts and seasons are a very good way to go about this, which is probably why they are heading this route because people like you criticize and allude to there being 'better ways' whit out actually suggesting how they might go about doing it. So if blizzard is at a loss for how to do this and all the fan base can do is complain without giving an alternative then you're going to get what they give you. And if you reply with "herp, what about PVP derp." then you will have proven my point.
I don't think asking the community is a bad thing at all. Relying too heavily on the community feed back is though, and I have no idea if thats the point they have came to or not.
I do, however, get the distinct feeling that there is lack of a singular vision. I work in animation and see this happen a lot. A show is green lit and there is money backing the production so there is also pressure to make sure that the product is good. So there is directors opinions, the animation directors opinions, the producers opinions, the networks opinions and without someone with a strong vision of what the show needs to be the final product amounts to is a polished turd. The 'too many cooks in the kitchen' argument, if you will.
I agree with you that complainers are annoying, unfortunately this post won't stop them as much as I wish it would.
In the end it comes down to money. Blizz isn't in the business of making niche games that appeal to specific portions of the gamer community. They want to make a game that is as newb friednly as possible while adding just enough content to keep as much of the hardcore community as they can. The product of which leaves us with a game that is on the whole lack luster that doesn't make any on particular group totally satisfied, but what it does accomplish is maximizing player base and thus profit. In the end you have to appreciate it for what it is and enjoy what you can. But if in the end the game gives you no enjoyment then I would hope people could come to terms with that and find the courage to breakup with their expectations. This hope is probably inevitably an exercise in futility.
I hope and pray he can bring the game back to the roots of what originally made the franchise so awesome. A leader with fresh eyes might be exactly what this game needs.
You need to change out that untiy for a CC pox. If you are leveling paragon your health is way to high, sacrifice it for more dmg. your Int should be over 3K and I dont know what you paid for that Zuni helm but 4% if the crap of the cream. Should have either saved up or spent more for at least a 5%. Your Lunis are missing Crit. in general attack speed isn't all that desirable for WD's I guess it helps if you are using ghost bomb rather then bears. But you would kill elites much faster if you stacked CC/CD and went bears instead. 4 Set zuni is a must in my opinon, especially if you insist on using PtV passive. I'm not going to bother getting into it, but you should look into getting a weapon that deals white dmg. If you dont know what a white DMG weapon is then you shouldn't be playing a WD. Im being harsh here becasue im assuming you are wanting to hear what you are doing wrong rather then just getting your Epeen stroked.
Just like politicians they answer a question that wasn't asked dodging the actual concern. Ninja nerfs and fixes happen all the time and they just deny deny deny.
