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…

The Season 4 seasonal mechanic is a very simple one: grind Iron Wolf reputation in Helltides. There’s nothing fancy about it and it’s similar to the Vampire one except that the Vampire zones had the Blood Pacts and powers to compliment the season. But the real kicker for the Iron Wolf reputation grind is the…

This probably has been my personal most anticipated version of the Diablo 4 release since launch. The loot aspect effectively almost reworks enough of the core game mechanics where it almost would feel like a new game. And with all the meta builds being tossed into the air due to the rework, it wouldn’t be…

While there is a lot of excitement building for the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 4, I want to add a healthy dose of skepticism into the mix as I think there will be a fair amount of problems, mostly in the Pit and Uber Uber bosses as well as Diablo 4’s main issue in the…

Patch notes for Season 4 went up yesterday. I didn’t go through every single note but I did examine the nerfs and some changes. I do have some comments on a few of the key changes but also have other thoughts after digesting what I experienced on the PTR. So let me go through a…
