  • Diablo 3: How to Potentially Solve the Solo vs Multiplayer Gap

    Multiplayer will always have an advantage in Diablo 3 because fundamentally one of Blizzard’s core values is on the social aspect of gaming. Thus, playing in a group would (and probably should) exhibit clear benefits. But having a solid group in Diablo 3 also means gaining a massive advantage both in terms of items from…

  • Diablo 3: My Take on Botting and the Banwave

    The other day Blizzard decided to do a massive banwave on various players. While the specifics of what the offense entailed remain tight lipped, the most probable cause was the demand for an end to botting. There was one known offender who even got shut out during his stream. That said, I wanted to delve…

  • Diablo 3: To Buff or Not to Buff Items

    There’s an ongoing thread regarding some of the upcoming patch 2.4.1 changes that can be seen on diablofans. One of the comments someone on the d3 forums mentioned was the observation that mostly this patch will just buff items and some skills, leading to more power creep. While I don’t know if this particular patch…

  • Diablo 3: Innes Build with Tasker and Theo Gloves

    Right now, the Innes Monk is possibly my favorite build next to the Marauder Demon Hunter build. I’ve seen a few variants of the build, including one that uses Exploding Palm and the hardcore one that Quin69 uses that goes for more defensive stats. But oddly enough, I haven’t really seen anyone use Tasker and…

  • Diablo 3: Innes’ Monk Build 3.0

    Right now, the top end monks for Season 5 use the revamped Innes set. The new Innes set is all about the Monk’s allies. This post talks about the basic build and a variant I’m running.

  • Diablo 3: Delsere’s Magnum Opus 2.0 Review

    The big thing about Season 5 for Diablo 3 was how Wizards now have become one of the top classes in the game alongside Crusaders. One of the more popular builds is for DPS in 4 man groups which has become the season’s group meta. What has changed and what makes the Delsere’s such a…

  • Diablo 3: Marauder’s Set Using The Cloak of the Garwulf vs Visage of Gunes

    The revamped Marauder’s set has brought a lot of firepower to the Demon Hunter. In addition, many Demon Hunter builds have popularized using Vengeance for Hatred regeneration as well as an offensive and defensive buff using the revamped Dawn and the new Visage of Gunes helmet. While this version is popular, an alternative build for…

  • Diablo 3: Why Vyr’s/Archon Is An Unpleasant Build/Skill

    In trying to gear up a new seasonal wizard recently, I found myself with the Vyr’s/Archon set. To say that this set sucks is an understatement. I know there are those that managed to make it work and did well with it. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the set/skill is any good.

  • Diablo 3: Barbarian Might of the Earth Set with Immortal Kings and Seismic Slam Build Review

    After feeling disappointed with the Might of the Earth 3 piece and Immortal Kings 5 piece combo, I decided to try going with just the 2 piece Immortal Kings and 5 piece Might of the Earth in conjunction with Seismic Slam. I’m still not fully optimized but I’ll provide my current thoughts with the play…

  • Diablo 3: Rethinking the Might of the Earth Set

    Thus far, we’ve only been given a slight glimpse into the next patch’s revamped set of the Demon Hunter Shadow Bane set. Of course, one of the major goals mentioned by the developers was to make all sets feasible and bring up current sets and older sets to a competitive level. In this blog, I…
