  • Diablo 4: Small Changes to Barbarian and Started A Minion Necromancer

    Figuring why not, I decided to go with a Minion Necromancer today. Although my enthusiasm isn’t really high on playing yet another Minion Necromancer, I decided that I could level easily and swap builds later on. Before that though, I altered my Barbarian from Hammer of the Ancients to Whirlwind / Dust Devil / Earthquake…

  • Diablo 4: Break or Necromancer?

    I found out an easy way to level an alt by using a higher difficulty’s Tree of Whisper’s Cache. Not only do you gain XP but gear at a higher level. For an alt, this is just another way to help gear up quickly. For instance, I managed to receive a few Ancestral items to…

  • Diablo 4: Finishing Up Spiritborn and onto Mighty Throw Barbarian Project

    Whelp, it finally dropped: a solid Tyrael’s Might. I believe the GA was on the damage reduction and I ended up critically hitting the damage reduction bonus twice and max to all resistance once. So my damage reduction on the Tyrael’s Might was around 50% while the all resistance hit close to 85%. With the…

  • Diablo 4: Got Really Lucky Today

    Right now, I’m still on my Quill Volley Eagle Spiritborn build. I managed to finish up a bunch of content and unlocked Torment 4. I still need a few things for the finishing touches on my build as I realized that the Maxroll guide had changed recently. But that said, my current situation is a…

  • Diablo 4: Spiritborn Quill Volley Eagle Class/Build Review

    After becoming frustrated with the Dance of Knives Rogue build (which may have a bug as per an upcoming patch will fix), I decided to cave in and roll a Spiritborn class. In reading various write ups and watching a few streams, I came to the conclusion that the top build would be the Quill…

  • Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Review

    Originally, my expectations for the expansion were quite low based on a few things that I had tried in the PTR as well as the supposedly lauded “raid” or “coop dungeon” (as Blizzard prefers to term it). The story itself wasn’t something I felt would be exciting and I had no idea what the Spiritborn…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: My Class Evaluation

    After this latest play through of Bard’s Tale 3, I figured it might be a good time to do a full class write up, going over strengths, weaknesses, some party ideas and my own experiences.

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Last Day

    I just realized that the Diablo 4 expansion starts tomorrow rather than on Tuesday (for NA/PST), which means my Bard’s Tale 3 play through is coming to an end. Truthfully, I was getting a little burnt out and while the thought experiment of having a three Geomancer party sounded novel, I figured it would just…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Possible Change In Party Configuration

    Today, I managed to push my secondary party through to the end game of Malefia. Right now, I’m merely grinding out levels. While I’m not exactly struggling, I do find a few situations to cause my party a little grief, namely with regards to my Monk. Originally, I had wanted a Monk as part of…

  • The Shanghai Thirteen Movie Review

    Despite having numerous Shaw Brothers alumni and Chang Cheh as the director, The Shanghai Thirteen (1984) was not a Shaw Brothers production. Instead, it was produced by someone named Chan Hsi-Fan, whom I don’t recognize, and was written by Chang Cheh himself. I read elsewhere that around this period, Chang Cheh was 60 and nearing…
