Regarding Bagstone's points above, that holds very true for me in the HC mode. Have a HC Barb I haven't looked at since S4. Also have a HC Sader from S5, as well hasn't been out of town since the start of S6. I have several decently rolled Ancestor's Grace ammies in that stash which are pretty much useless to me in S HC. My HC S6 DH is so weak I really wouldn't mind a boost from that gear which is pretty useless at this point. All the gear is pretty much hanging in limbo here. Too good to salvage as could still be rolled to decent stats, have room available in stash anyways so not about to burst at the seams.
I find myself back in SC normal mode between seasons however it feels like I was vacationing on the moon for several months as those developed chars feel rather clunky as they are not optimized and have already rolled stats to match the meta of past eras.
One thing I do not understand is the seeming obsession with the cosmetic hoarding this season (haven't played NS so not sure what the momentum is over there).
Essentially, they do absolutely nothing however people seem to flock to them like they're the new found BiS item of all time. Sure, it's a new pet or transmog or whatever, add zip zero ziltch for making the game better. I have 4 pets now, why get more? Every single one you have does exactly the same thing (pick up gold). If one type gathers gold, another gathers globes, then of course get them all and use for your situation\needs of the moment. Couldn't care less about the wings or pennants, they are just in the way and distract (ie gold wings from pre order ROS). Portrait frame? Sure, show your level of completion in the season or if you bought OW, completed lvl 70 in old seasons or hit level 20 in HotS.
I think this sends a message to Blizz that crap content patches are awesome and no new real worthwhile additions are required if people will accept crap as the new best thing since sliced bread. I remember when Seasons was about getting new items ahead of NS, this was a great concept.....
Perhaps I am gravely mistaken however it's what I currently perceive.
What's your reason to play season or non-season in 2.4.1, respectively?
Stash space, nothing else
What factors are most important for your decision (what streamers do, what your clan does, what your friends list does, where the perceived majority of players is, where leaderboards are easier to reach/more contested, or what this poll tells you ;-))?
Stash then dash
If history is a teacher, HC NS will be completely dead (NA servers) so will pug for this side of the game
SC is fairly even on NS and S so will go seasons til journey (Conqueror) is completed
Clan usually drops out when they get their stash, mainly solo\pugs for me afterwards
Crusader is your fastest, you do not need to be fully ancient set or ancient legendary to progress. I am able to easily plevel 3x people in HC and am below plevel 300 with mostly non-ancient gear. If you do decide, your priority on gear is THORNS, CDR, MAINSTAT (not necessarily in this order). You want a fast 1 hander (pig sticker, hack or doombringer) and gem with topaz. Leorics crown with diamond (CDR) and str gems in rest of gear will be a great starter.
I have read (no source available) that there is an issue with wearing the Moratoriam gem with a HC char in the set dungeons. This is the gem that causes damage to be split and dished out over 'x' seconds. This can kill you. Just remove and use an alternate gem in the set dungeon. As far as I know, this has not been patched. I also believe it can kill any class\build.
Just wanted to say thankyou to crayonsmind for the excellent thread! Not quite there with Vyr's however with this help, just need to figure out how to shave off 8secs to get the mastery done. Without your help, was just about ready to just give up on those damn dungeons however now have a glimmer of hope.
Maximus - Enemies killed by the maximus have a chance to become a spawned second demon that lives for 10 minutes. equal power to the original demon, this one just lives longer.

For the stash, then back to NS.

So far, I have been in 4 dungeons:
Firebird: You need to use a weapon 400k or less due to one of the challenges. It seems to be around the T4 range
Tal Rasha: Killing mobs not too difficult, could be easier\quicker if you have ancient gear. Seems to be around the T3-4 range
Vyr's: As above, Killing mobs not too difficult, could be easier\quicker if you have ancient gear. Seems to be around the T3-4 range
Invokers: This one was much easier than the Wiz dungeons above. Seems to be T3 or less.
Tried the wizard on SC, 350'ish Plevel, cookie cut build used each dungeon, no ancient gear
Tried the crusader on HC, 190'ish Plevel, mostly thorns build, couple ancient gear
Confirm you cannot die in HC mode however I did not wear the moritorium gem.

Can only speak for PC mode:
1) Available in Seasons mode only, create new char
2) Level to 70 (gets first 2 pieces)
3) Kill Zultan Kulle in Torment 2 or higher difficulty (gets 3rd & 4th pieces)
4) complete greater rift 20 (gets remaining pieces)

Thanks to all for your positive input as well.

There is no confirmation of it being available if you do not earn the tab in seasons.
