Was hilarious. 10 dropped primals and only one useful but that’s the most I have gotten in 3 hours. A rainbow goblin randomly when running a bounty (in an area I never run when looking) that gave me the hamburger and then that spawned a vision. It was like a chain reaction. Still looking for the right gear and only at 1200 paragon. #workingsucks

I have a little over 1030 paragon points (I know low). I want to farm gr120 as it has a good chance to drop primals (or at least I think so). All my current builds just dont seem to cut it. I will admit I probably am not doing things right. But I have a Pony Crusader, Chicken witch doctor, TragOuls Necro, Tals Comet meteor Wizard. Most of them have 70+ legendary gems. Some have 4-5 Augments. They all have crafted primal weapons with augments. I am playing on Console (Switch 2) offline. Thanks!

Hello Diablo 3 people.

(Note) This post came out as a mouth word salad so sorry if I seem confusing, I honestly feel confused about what to do next. Please give me advice.

I am currently SSF 1,651 paragon and I already cleared 150 with my LOD Monk. I have an augmented Shadow Demon Hunter and I have acquired most of the ancient items required for Natalya's which is what I decided I want to try pushing with.

My Crusader is missing a few ancients and I just cleared a 130 on Crusader with 6 minutes remaining. And a while back now I cleared a 132 with 4 minutes remaining on Demon Hunter at 1100 paragon.

Anyway, I guess I'm wondering, at my current paragon would augments on the Natalya's set be a waste? Because, I get the feeling I need to be like 2.2k paragon for a decent push. Also the rank 1 on SSF who inspired me to try Nats, he already got a new personal best with Shadow. Although at 3.3k paragon you can probably push with anything.

I also searched a video of a Natalya's 150 and the player was 3.5k ish paragon and struggling to finally beat the 150.

And yeah since my Crusader can clear a 130 in 9 minutes maybe I should get the final ancients and augment him, because I see a few 2k and lower SSF 150s on the leader board. So maybe my plan should be to push the Crusader now and then when I'm at like 2.2k then use my Natalya's?

I just have it stuck in my head how cool it would be to have my personal best push on DH be Natalya's. I can hold onto the gear and it's not going anywhere. My Nats setup has guardian's, and dawn equipped so kind of like the low paragon set up. And I know 1,651 is nothing to scoff at, it's just that Demon Hunter isn't as much of a free 150 compared to Monk.

Anyway, I could use any input that pops into your head... Please?

Thanks.

More videos coming soon :)

What paragon should I change from guardian to crimson?

Morning everyone, I'm looking for tips to survive better in GRs. I'm ponysader low paragon, like mid 400's. I have 3 cheat deaths from various sources and they're all getting activated regularly and im dying on top of those as well. Damage isn't the issue, im killing stuff really fast but im also dying instantly to random stuff. I have rank 25 wildebeests gizzard and I've begun putting paragon into life% and life on hit. Is there anything else I can do? First season for me so not familiar with the basics. Thanks!

Just wanted to share this clear using LoD Monk, with (just!) under 1k paragon. It isn't the lowest paragon Monk 150 ever, that goes to a PoJ clear from Season 36 (with 985 paragon).

I'd been wondering why this incredibly strong build hadn't achieved a sub-1k 150 yet, so I pivoted off the AoV Crusader I'd been using and cooked up a Monk. That shift gave me relatively little "runway" to work with, since I was already a bit over 800 paragon when I started farming up Monk gear. That, plus a few dumb choices on my part regarding rift selection, almost pushed me over the 1k mark before I could get the clear. But not quite!

I still don't know why there aren't more sub-1k clears. It was not extremely difficult, and I think felt a bit easier than when I did this challenge using Frenzy Barb in Soul Shards season. And, I am not a very experienced Monk player. My gear here is ok at best. My Trapped and Enforcer gems were at 112, and my LoD at 99 of course.

The real bottleneck for this build is the boss fight. Since Stricken is generally not used, you pretty much need a Power or a Shield for the boss. In the rift I ran just before this one, I spawned the boss with 7 minutes remaining but no pylon, and was unable to kill him in time. On the other hand, you really don't need a Conduit to get a clear (I didn't have one here) since on a decently long level with reasonable mob density you can kill most of the elites just with your own damage. Add in a Shield or Power pylon, and you basically are a Conduit.

I would be pretty surprised if this stands as the low paragon mark for the season. A few players out there have recently taken to completing this challenge multiple times in a season across the different game modes (Normal, HC, SSF, SSF HC), so I expect there will be at least a few more sub-1k clears before the season ends.

Got 2 when I made the last 8 or 12. Finally completed the season journey as well by making an HC character to do one of the easier conquests

Do you all rush Altar of Rites or you think its not mandatory. Even if you want to play longer than day. I just cant force myself to do it. Is it even worth it?

Steam Input Controller Config

TL;DR Super cool Drag & Drop Controller Config that was made to be Console Controller friendly but can be modified to suit extra buttons.

Hey there! I just wanted to share my controller setup using Steam Input for those who just a drop and play controller config. I designed it to be very controller friendly.

Notes:
- Game must be added to Steam as a Non-Steam game.
- Game needs to be named "Diablo 3"
- This setup uses Steam Input to map keybinds and all it's interactions.
- Nearly every keybind/feature is covered.
- Setup was made with a basic controller with A, B, X, Y, DPad, L+R Joysticks, triggers, bumpers, start and select. Anything that differs from this can be configured and changed easily.
- Emote Wheel requires Num-Lock ON.
- Menu navigation is mouse based.
- Dedicated Switch to Gameplay Mode & Menu mode.
- Emote wheel and Game menu

Here is some previews of the two Radial Menus that can be used to open the in game menus.
IMGUR PREVIEW: In-game previews & Layout config (Imgur)

Mobile Friendly Preview: https://imgur.com/a/preview-of-steam-input-controller-config-custom-menus-iqg5Bg4

Instructions:

1. Copy link below into a browser address bar.
2. Press "Open Steam" on browser pop up.
3. Press "Apply Layout" in the Controller Config pop up.
4. Play Diablo III! 😂

Setup for Non-Steam game:

1. Top left of steam, click Games.
2. Click "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library..."
3. Find the battle.net option, check it.
4. Press "Add Selected Programs", this should add it to your library.
5. Find your game in your library, right click and hit properties.

Note about Step 6: You'll need "Keep signed in" in the blizzard launcher enabled otherwise this can break and won't allow steam overlay, also battle.net launcher should not be running when trying to play otherwise it may not work as steam overlay won’t proper attach to the game executable.
6. Change Target to ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" --exec="launch D3"), with the brackets and change path if not at that path.
7. Change Start in to (C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net), change path if needed.
8. That's all, diablo 3 should auto-start now with steam overlay on it.

CONTROLLER CONFIG LINK BELOW:
LINK: steam://controllerconfig/2581147601/3819478674
(Put the link in a browser and it should open a pop up to open steam, link is directly from steam.)

F.A.Q:

Q: Why do this post?
A: I noticed No native controller support and wanted to share a Controller Config I made to share that could be a drag & drop option for others!

Q: Why Num-Lock ON?
A: For some reason I do not know, the emote wheel doesn't work without it. If you don't care about using the emote wheel then you should be fine. It only needs to be ON if you wanna use it, it does nothing otherwise.

Q: Why is navigation mouse based?
A: I wanted an easy drag & drop config that didn't edit anything else. So I made a special mode for menus.

Q: What are the modes?
A: The modes are different controller layouts that can be switch between to make things easy across the game. General Gameplay & Menus.

Q: How to access the menus?
A:
- For Game Menus, just use the right joystick select your desired option and release the joystick to open that menu. (General Gameplay mode)
- For Emote Wheel, hold DPAD LEFT and use the right joystick to select the emote you want, then click press the joystick to use the emote. (General Gameplay mode)

Q: Bug-Free?
A:
- Game Menu & Emote Wheel can sometimes conflict if you let go of the DPAD LEFT button while trying to use the emote wheel. Just let go of the joystick before letting go of DPAD LEFT, and you should be fine.
- Inventory can be opened in General Gameplay mode, but if you switch to menus you need to press start to close it from that mode, otherwise just switch to General Gameplay and press Select again to toggle it closed. If ok with changing the config, you can change the Select input that is "Enter" key in Menus mode to I, then you no longer have this problem.

Q: How to switch modes?
A: Press click the left joystick to switch between General Gameplay mode and Menus mode.

Q: What does each mode do?
A:
- For General Gameplay, it puts you into a more controller friendly movement/attack mode. Movement can be done by just moving the left joystick to the desired direction. Use LEFT BUMPER to stay in place to aim if you wish or use right trigger primary attack regardless.
- For Menus, this just puts you into a more menu friendly mode that you can use the right joystick to move the mouse whereever you want to deal with all the game menus(Map, Inventory, etc.)

Q: Will this be updated?
A: Maybe. No promises, I'm mainly sharing it as a finished config. If I do share an updated version, it may be a separate config entirely.

Q: Links are broken?
A: MSG me and I'll see about updating it.

Q: The aim area is too short in General Gameplay mode. How can I make it bigger?
A: Go to the controller config, press Edit Layout, select joystick, press on the cog next to the "Mouse Region" option, change Region Size to your desired range. Recommended between 20x-40x.

Q: Launching from steam only opens the blizzard launcher, what do I do?
A: Press Play in blizzard launcher, it should still run fine.

So I'm trying to make my Crusader build a bit more comfortable at higher GRs. At least high for me (1100 Paragon doing 3 minute 30 second 120's.)

I was wondering when the legendary gem Mirinae, Teardrop of the Starweaver procs does it also heal you off of Holy Cause?

Thanks.

Hello all! I've been playing d3 casually for a while but with the new season starting I wanted to try pushing gr150. Right now I can comfortably run 100-105 and my highest push is 118. I have the rolls optimized so I can keep vengeance up all the time and my dps seems to be doing okay. My main struggle is getting killed by even basic mobs immediately while pushing above 115ish. I'm hoping for some pointers to help optimize further, any help is appreciated!

I’ve been playing necro death nova, not sure if it’s the best build.. any ideas on builds to kick ass ?
Thanks

All new to Diablo 3, what’s the best way to maximize drops (higher value items) running low rifts at a faster speed or playing higher rifts ?
Thanks

First time playing monk after season 28 so I'm a bit rusty. (Have done solo 150s, by solo play, on wizards, necromancers and crusader). My question is about the passives for LoD WoL monk. How important is the attack speed boost from Seize the Initiative? At 1100 paragon I have done a 130 clear in 4:15 with Transcendence instead of Seize and then another 130 with Seize instead of Transcendence a bit slower but only because of a poorer map.
I know the importance of having Epiphany up for damage and protection, and also Serenity of course when possible and the high dodge chance too. At times the build is still quite squishy though. The other three passives are Guardian's Path, Beacon of Ytar and Near Death.

So the question boils down to how crucial Seize the Initiative is? (I know it can vary according to pushing/speeding/amount of paragon points etc.). It could also be one of the other toughness passives than the healing from Transcendence.

Just whipped up a crusader to check how it is. Did GR100s for an hour but holy crap it is hard to look at :D How do you even do this for a longer period of time

I started with the AoV crusader but I'm really enjoying the shadow impale DH so far. Very fun and my eyes aren't continuously blinded, haha. I might try this build with my son who is playing the crusader and hasn't yet finished his season journey.

Back on pc it was always very easy to find someone to power-level a new character. It seems impossible on PS5. How do you do it?

I've been playing on xbox a lot this start of season less than a week since the start I've got some great pieces. And a couple of not perfect reds. It's almost 14years that I play this game too and I've got to say this has been an extremely lucky season for me on primordial drops (I will call them reds since I'm not sure that it's translated like that in English). But still, today I've seen this low level paladin that was equipped with all perfect red gear. Not one affix was un optimal. And there wasn't even a single crafted red piece via kanai. It seems really strange to me that this is legit, especially knowing how the game always suffered cheating problems on console,even tho ladder was supposed to be safe. It would be a shame to have tha game officially ruined

Hi !

So finally got my crusader build up and running as per maxroll guide the fist of heaven one.

Even my follower has her gear. Im parsgon 730. My 3 gem ar level 30.

Question is im pretty much stuck a GR110 wich is not bad I guess BUT...

Almost none of my gear are ancient and none are primal.

So what is your strategy to gear up in all ancient ? Do you gamble or just run GR and hoping for the best ?

Also where the F.. are the primal.I know.its like 1 in 400 but I should have at least 2 wich I dont. Only have one.

I also need primordial ashes for the altar and dont know how to get it as I dont have primal to salvage..

Whats your Thought ?

Also what his generally your endgame routine?

Thanks.

Hola, estoy buscando el arma perfecta santificada para mí run y tengo una duda general. Veo que siempre me salen 5 habilidades por arma entre principales y secundarias sin contar la habilidad por legendario, el del hueco y la de Desesperación de Caldesann. Si hago más rerolls con el crisol angelical, ¿es posible que me salga de 6?¿O es otra cosa que estoy pasando por alto? Gracias
