Diablo 3 Season 8: It Begins!

After a week off of Diablo 3, Season 8 has begun and with that a new character gets to take on run to do as high of Grifts as possible. This time I decided to go with a Monk, but the hardest question was which Monk? You see I have 3 Monks and each have names I love. So it was a really hard choice to pick between the three.

In the end I decided to go with my Monk that actually means quite a bit to me, Qwerty. You see Qwerty was named after my first cat I had bought with my own money and had total responsibility for. Sadly she passed away at the age of 6 this past July from what was likely cancer. She now lives on in Diablo as a Monk which really represents her attitude and character.

I made quite a bit of progress in the first hour, but with a lot of dying due to I set the difficulty too high and ended up having to lower it. I found my first legendary of the season at level 9 and managed to make it to level 19 by the time I needed to take a break.

Now that I set the difficulty down to Hard and getting some better equipment under my belt things are going much smoother. At this point in the game, I think it is better to just get rifts done quickly than try to push the difficulty for only a small gain in experience. More legendaries are dropping which is always nice and with some nice speed skills it is making it easier to just avoid trash and go right for the uniques.  Still a long way to go, but progress is progress!

At the end, as always I decided to take a screenshot of my character’s current look. I think someone needs to call the fashion police cause it is already looking pretty crazy.

As a reminder, I was playing in order to support Extra Live which is a charity to support Children’s Hospitals! Please Donate to Extra Live here: http://www.extra-life.org/participant/randomkat
