Been busy the last few days :(

Finally playing a bit now, trying out the new changes. Quick casting is awesome, but feels really weird atm plus I did new keybinds, need to get used to it :thumbsup:

That shield is Rhyme for my higher mf setup for cbf. On my normal/leveling setup I use a raven currently until I can get a cham rune. It doesn't freeze enough bodies to really matter to me overall, but I would definitely prefer no cold damage.

I did ubers on P1 softcore lol, like I said in the OP there are going to be times where I'm drinking and up way too late so I didn't want to do my grail (at least my first one) on HC P8, that just sounded way less efficient to me, as I'd have to change my playstyle and go slower.

I think a holy grail and level 99 is enough for my first attempt at one of these, hardcore will be my next adventure when I'm done with this one :P

Singer barbs are definitely a good option for a lot of areas, and extremely safe for HC compared to other barb builds imo. Did you have War Cry in mind or something else?


I went ahead and tried singer. Its fun an unique, but I wasn't feeling the game play. For HC p8, it also takes a bit longer than I'd like for Merc to kill bosses, but I expected that. Plays more like a ce Necro except single monster. For P1 the pace makes it more enjoyable because faster kills. I also did not feel very safe with singer. I had huge Hp, but wc has small range and sometimes archers wander in while amped and casting wc. No DR outside of shako and enigma.

I gave the pitzerker a go and I'm not gonna lie, I'm hooked. Its fast and fun, and with SS on grief side, feels very safe. I have to be a bit more careful so I don't telestomp the boss which definitely slows down runs, but not a ton. I've taken baba from 89-91.5 like this in pits. Far from effecient leveling but I'm really looking for dweb while my chats level so I shouldn't be too greedy lol.

How's your baba coming along?


Edit - realized I never commented but wtf windforce and Griff's in same post!? The odds of that are insane

Yeah that was a lucky session :drool:

The Barb is good! Haven't gotten to play much this week, but got to test out the new quick cast stuff last night. It seems like a huge qol buff for pitzerker, but I'm still not used to it so it's awkward currently.

Still looking for soj so I can get an Anni, other than that I can't complain about my progress. Blizz did just patch the ias cap back to normal so I had to remove the 40/15 from my stormshield... Felt bad, I wasn't expecting it to be fixed so soon.

I hear you on the slow leveling, I might have to do the 99 grind on my sorc, we'll see how I feel after I'm done in the pits :thumbsup:
