There are three sets that the build takes advantage of.

Manjumas is a weapon and offhand that buff the WD Hex skill. It turns you into a chicken that runs super fast.
Helltooth is a armor set. It buffs up Wall of Death, which is your main damage skill
Sages set gives you extra deaths breath drops.

The idea is, you turn into a chicken and blow through rifts at super speed looking for elite packs. Then you pop out, kill em, and get your 2-3 deaths breaths. Then repeat. Skip all the trash.

The guide posted right above this explains it well.

I like chicken WD but been having pretty good speed with monk, sage helmet and boots, 3 piece Elianas, rorg cubed and ingeom. As long as you find an elite pack every 8 seconds you can teleport all the way across the screen the whole time to look for more elite packs. Really great on the big open maps, a little slower on the narrow tunnel maps.

Death breath drops are stupid, and why in the world do greater rift guards not drop them? They should drop at least 1 per 10 rift level.

A big milestone for FishPondMgr last night:



I've kinda got the itch to try another class, but no clue which one.

If they dropped everything you wanted, no one would farm any more.

Every patch there has been a new mat that is the bottleneck.

Civen

Absolutely there's a new bottleneck each season/patch

It just seems like the DB costs are way out of balance

Cost to reroll 1 stat at mystic: 1 DB
Cost to reroll all stats at cube: 50 DB

I know you have the chance to turn it ancient in the cube, but a 50x increase seems a little out of alignment.

2-3 months. But so far I think the first 3 were different.

Chicken WD is good... but when you get enough DBs that you don't need sages or chicken anymore, I love this build (just a slight variation from chicken WD). You rarely run out of mana just spamming bears and firewall and the 6 piece set bonus is the truth... i clear rifts in a hurry with this:

Hit 7 hundy in seasons. Could not get a screenshot as I was playing healer monk and everyone would probably have died Did get a shot of the rift we completed.

Interesting....about 30 minutes ago the lag line mentioned stash space and "set dungeons". Typo, or something else? And just to prove I wasn't hallucinating: https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/3rdx33/diablo_iii_at_blizzcon/

Plenty of new info there, and "set dungeons" was not a typo.

Sounds good for another couple weeks of fun. Not looking forward to cube mat farming again though!

Yep I think you're right, a few weeks of new stuff followed by the same.

The wailing host set looks interesting

I hope next seasons achievements aren't quite so hard. TX in 3 minutes wasn't fun... just tedious (and thanks to those guys here who helped me get it!)

Really excited about gaining stash space starting next season though!

1 tab per season if that seasonal conquests are all completed.

I logged in last night to get my GR 40 without sets knocked out for the last conquest I needed. Played about 5 mins beyond then went back to FO4.

Looking forward to grouping up with others though... just not feeling solo atm.

I'd pay for more tabs if they'd let me, but since they decided to do it slowly... I'll take what I can get.

I played a bit on the PTR last night to get a feel for S5.

Still not geared up, but 2 things really stood out.

1. DBs are now teal colored on the ground. Makes them super easy to see
2. Your cosmetic pets (doesn't matter which) now run around and pick up gold for you, like the DH ferrets used to.

Those 2 changes are such and amazing QoL change... its great.

I'm most looking forward to the buff icon clean up. Way too many times I've had important buffs hidden because of all the effects active. But the gold pickup is nice too bad they don't pick up all mats

I think this will be the first season I skip out on. Grim Dawn is nearing final release and is holding my ARPG attention incredibly well right now. If you're unfamiliar with the game, it's the spiritual successor to Titan Quest and honestly feels like Diablo II and Titan Quest had a baby (this is an awesome, awesome thing). If you're unfamiliar with the game and consider yourself a Diablo fan, do yourself a favor and at least check it out. It was initially a kickstarter project about 4 years ago and is slated for a Q1 2016 final release, but has been in Early Access for a while on Steam. A full content build will be released before the end of the year (confirmed yesterday by developers).

Can you explain how the multiplayer works? Seems like someone hosts and everyone then joins their game?

Limited to 4 per game like Diablo 3, but you are correct. You host games (similar to Diablo 2 and Titan Quest) and set your parameters like level difference, difficulty, etc... You can host locally or over their internet service. Been playing with friends all over the country and we join up easily. Unfortunately character files are stored client side unlike Diablo 3's secure server side storage, but there is a Steam Cloud save option.

The game is on the Steam Winter Sale for $14.99 and since these characters carry over to the final release, I'd absolutely recommend picking it up. $15 for this game is an absolute steal.

Last night I have the urge to play some Diablo so I jumped in and went "zoomed in" (z) and played a whole t10 rift. It was prett cool all the perspective change made it feel like a different game almost. Give it a try for 1 rift.

Just joined the TexAgs clan today!

In-game name: Waldo

I just started playing less than a week ago, so I have a lot to learn and a lot to do. But I'm very excited and ready to kill Demons!

Thanks so much for everyone's help.

Are you guys making seasonal or continuing with non-seasonal characters for season 5?
