I decided to try a little more of the PTR with the so-called Runeword drops being enabled as my biggest interest (along with the cheat vendor which honestly was the best thing in the entire PTR experience for me). Right now, I don’t have a good impression of Diablo 4 based on what I have…

Finally, I managed to spend sometime leveling a new druid (because I couldn’t load my existing Eternal Realm characters earlier) on the PTR. I went with a Companion style Druid because it felt pretty strong and there were a few adjustments I wanted to make especially in anticipation of the real patch (i.e. Runewords) that…

If there’s one thing I can’t stand in a game, it’s wasting my time by being forced onto a hamster wheel and going nowhere. For all the number of people that supposedly works on Diablo 4, it honestly feels like one of the laziest contemporary games around. Outside of bugs, poor performance and other issues,…

The news has come out during the campfire chat yesterday about the new patch with the announcement of one of the most anticipated features that had been in demand for a while: Runewords. Runewords were introduced in Diablo 2 and were a favorite of hardcore fans due to being able to create special items using…

While my Companion Druid was reasonably fun to play, the build I’ve been eyeing heavily has been the Fireball build. I’ve tried hybrid Fireball builds in the past where I’d mix Fireball with Meteor, using the Starfall Coronet and Gloves of the Illuminator. I started off with Chain Lightning but felt that it was simply…

I’ve tried a few variants of the Druid Companion build in the past but obviously Season 5 has one of the strongest versions yet. While the AoE is quite weak, the single target and general tankiness is quite good. I wanted to talk a bit about my experience as I’m getting close to hitting level…

I was enthusiastic to give the new Season 5 PTR a try. I thought the season 4 PTR was excellent and gave me a nice preview of the upcoming features and season. But the Season 5 PTR was pretty meh. The only thing I really wanted to try was a Companion Druid build with the…

I didn’t go too heavily into playing the PTR. Mostly, I was interested in checking out the Companion Druid build since they added a few key new Aspects that caught my attention. Previously, I had leveled a Companion Druid in S4, which wasn’t bad but I can’t say that I loved the experience. The main…

I got my 8th Resplendent Spark today on my 2nd Necromancer of the season and crafted a 1 GA Tyrael’s Might. In a way, I had a feeling I was going to get a GA item just because I didn’t see any all season long. The GA turned out to be damage reduction too so…

My pursuit of more Uber Uniques has been quite fruitful. Deciding to take a small break from the leveling grind of another character, I decided to switch back to my old reliable Necromancer to see if I could yield anything. With 14 summons, I didn’t expect much but was thrilled to see The Grandfather drop…
