Season 5 is a go !

[Cmoidudu]

Heh, I couldn't resist posting a short video of my loosy team. While some people are already Paragon 650+... I'm having fun, specially since I never played this setup before.

You can notice my amazing gear at the end of the video. I hope you like the weapon :)

So I completed Season 5 Chapter 4 with all characters, gained a pet who conveniently grabs money on the ground (I didn't have any pet before), and i'm slowly grinding levels and gathering gear. At the time of this video I could run Torment VII and GR35, now I have more gear and I'm running Torment X.

I'll write some lines about my progression later, what I did wrong and what was ok :)

Looking good, anyone knows a good multiboxin crusader invoker build? thats not too hard to play

[Cmoidudu]

Crusader/Invoker is very easy to build since it doesn't require ancient gear. Your damage comes from Thorns, so all you have to do is striking as fast as possible so that Thorns applies each time, and then gear with attack speed, all resistance, armor, cooldown resistance, stats.

No need to worry about crit chance/crit damage.


Leading character (Nemesis Bracer, Ring of Royal Grandeur, Provoke) :

3 others are like this (same build, just different laws) :

TX is a joke and I did GR 51 with 7-8 minutes remaining but I did'nt really push GR levels. Just leveling gems.

[Devile]

Had a slow start because of RL duties. Also lag has been a real pain lately. I'm getting a lot of rubber banding and the stuck bug. Getting 500ms+ lag spikes :/ Anyway, finally got full UE sets with F&R for my whole party. I'm glad I picked DHs for S5. I can easily clear T10 with 1 shot and it will pretty much kill the whole screen. Doing GR50 in 5 mins paragon and leveling some gems. I'll push 60+ with M6 once I farm some bounties and prolly a few Hellfire amulets. Wanna hit para 400+ tonight. I'll upload videos later on.

Once you get full 50+ gems and ancient gear on ancient UE you can actually do t60 speeds (3-4 mins each) and you get close to 100-120 million toughness with your bracer + vengeance.

They fixed the ability to stagger your CoE though from changing items in cube and changing back which is a big bummer.

Whats that? Stagger CoE?

[Cmoidudu]

I'm there too. I pushed to GR55 and that's where I'm starting to bleed, so from this point I need to have a strategy while fighting, not just only be sitting ducks and kill everything :)

And I hope you appreciate those GR50 rifts where you gain 3-4 Paragon levels in a single run. This won't last forever tho :(

Here is a GR58. I'll push further later this week. See how I'm doing bad @06:10 LOL.

So that your COE is on Fire for one of your toons 100% of the time since you could make sure that every character was on a different element at the beginning of your games. So you'd have 100% uptime on 1/4 of your toons doing 200% increased damage.

Never tried that, but I'm sure there are still ways to do it. Not sure what I did but not all chars were on sync with CoE yesterday.

I love how easy is to kill gobs with DHs on T10. U kill them ALL in the same spot and looting is so simple. Those damn blue goblins are such a pain to kill them all with other classes, but not for DHs. U burst them to the ground and none can run :D And even if by some mistake u are out of sync and u are not aiming right, they wont go far cause u can slow the shit out of them.

[Cmoidudu]

Yes I mentioned that in another thread... That's a very big advantage of DHs. On the contrary, with my Crusader team, Goblin Rifts and blue guys are a problem and some are escaping :(

[Devile]

Almost done with Conqueror. Missing 3 achievements only. The only "hard" one left is doing GR45 with nonsets which is ok. GR60 and 3 rank 55 gems are pretty easy. Thought it would take longer.

Behold the power of the Demon Hunters!

Going all Cold DHs but I'm pretty sure 1-2 Cold and 2-3 Fire should output more damage overall.

PS: yep, 1 cold and 3 fire feels a lot better than 4 cold. CC is pretty much the same.

[Cmoidudu]

Nice video dude. I'm currently P490, farming GR55 and I pushed to 59... But you seem comfortable at 60 :)

About that "second" achievement (assuming "Avarice" is the first one), it probably will be faster/easier to Master 8 dungeon sets. I mean, faster than gathering all the specific stuff to do the "GR45-with-no-set-item-on" thing.

I already have all 4 complete sets on my Crusaders, and then I'll have to roll 4x4 new characters which will be a joke with some ancient weapons + gems of ease and ~500 Paragon points to use... Reach level 70, kill Zoltan Kulle in TII, do a GR20 rift, complete dungeon set mastery... and repeat 3 more times.

Then I'll be done with season 5, and I really want to try that Wizard-WD-Barbarian-Monk setup in non-season, since all the characters are static while fighting (no whirlwind Barbarian), it seems multi-box-able with maybe some adjustments... I have been watching the SoS team on Twitch, farming GR89... and in combat they have over 3B toughness so they just ignore any damage LOL.

Thanks. Once I changed 3 to Fire, did a GR60 in 5 mins. Well, it was a Silver Spire tho, but still felt a lot smoother. I'll do 65s tonight to get my gems to 55 and be done with that achievement. No way I'm mastering 8 set dungeons!!! I hate those, specially with my lag, I keep failing them. Sorry to bring bad news, but the seasonal set rewards is PER ACCOUNT, not per character. U already got your Invoker's set for your Crusaders. U will get nothing from rolling a new char. U will have to farm those 4 sets. No way on earth I'm doing that.

GR45 with nonsets is fairly easy and u dont really need that much. Already have the important parts and been collecting the rest. Should finish it during the week. Then I'm done with Seasons too :D

Damn, so if I roll a Witch Doctor I won't get a new set ? Ah well...

Let's see how hard that no-set-GR45 thing is then. Maybe I'm over-exagerating the difficulty:confused:

[Devile]

AFAIK yes, u wont. U can try and maybe let us know? :D

For Crusaders, seen ppl posting several videos about it, so I'm sure it's way easier than it is for DHs. Check this guy:

That was pretty fast. Also check this:

Hey guys,

I am taking a break from multiboxing this season and just soloing DH and Wiz.
I finished conqueror yesterday, and the Thrill of the Hunt was easy with the Wiz.

Although, with the meta being basically the same as last season (1 DPS plus 3 supports), my break from multiboxing might be shorter than anticipated.

I got up to 72 last season at paragon 800 with last season's meta, I bet 80 would be pretty easy this season and probably more like 85.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend trying to do Thrill of the Hunt with 4 DHs though. That will be tough I think.
I never played DH much before, and I really, really love my UE DH, but I figured out very quickly that she wasn't going to work out for GR pushing, which is why I created the Wiz a few days ago.

Actually it would be a lot easier in a party since u can boost your DPS with synergies. But, it's a SOLO achievement.

Oh yeah, duh. Even harder then. I tried with the DH a few days before doing it with the wiz, and it was impossible at the time.

I've seen 2 options so far for DH: Multishot stacking as much Fire damage as u can, or Strafe. Multishot seems ok but with low paragon can be hard. The top 2 conquest leaderboard used strafe with paragon 260. Top6 and 13 did it with strafe too but paragon 300-400. Guess Strafe is a lot easier. I haven't tested yet, but seen a few builds in Diablofans:

http://www.diablofans.com/builds/71351-test-gr45-conquest-fire-strafe
http://www.diablofans.com/builds/71970-the-thrill-strafing-with-fire-patch-2-4-s5
http://www.diablofans.com/builds/71928-the-thrill-conquest-strafe-build-for-dh-2-4

Don't think it will matter anyway. By the time I do this conquest, I'll be paragon 600+ with rank 60+ gems and whatever build I use, should be easy. Just missing 1 ancient Yang's Recurve in my party. GR60s go down fast. Did a 64 in 6:27. I'll prolly push 70s with M6 to see how good it is compared to UE. No ancient Manticore tho :(

PD: 1 Conqueror done, 3 to go.

That is pretty cool to do 60s so fast.
Do you have any video?
I would like to see how much of a problem desyncing is with a 4-DH team.

[Cmoidudu]

1 Conqueror done, 3 to go.
Hehe congratulations. My characters are 3/6 Conqueror, save character #3 who still needs "Avarice", but I haven't met a Gilded Baron in days :(

Finished Conqueror for all 4 chars. Took a lot less than expected. Some ppl were bitching about being "forced" to play Seasons just to get more stash space, but quite honestly, if I didnt multibox, I would have taken me prolly a third of the time invested. Doing "The Thrill" with all chars was quite easy with paragon 550+ and rank 55+ gems. Multishot build. I found 2 gilded barons only.

I'll play a couple more days these chars and then I'll go back to non season. So many things I wanna try :D

[Cmoidudu]

I'm still stuck because of one character not getting "Avarice". There seems to be a shortage of Gilded Barons... I'm just keeping the "Diablo TX under 1 min 30" thing, so that I'll record it when that last character will be ready :)

Also I like the plethora of achievements for doing GR 45 no-set, "The Trill" and so many others LOL.

[edit] I like when i speak of something and then it happens 3 minutes after. Gilded Baron found and properly dealt with... And here is the video with "Conqueror" achievement and the extra stash tab reward.
