Diablo 3 Season 7: Season Finale

Last two hours of the Season 7 and I am on a mission to complete 1 conquest and complete the Destroyer Chapter. Probably shouldn't have waited until the last minute, but hey I got a day job. I decided to do lower rifts than what I was doing to make sure I could complete them, but at the cost of a lower upgrade chance for my gems. By the end of the hour, I manage by the to get one Gem up to 65 and two to 60.

We are in the home stretch with one hour to go until the end of Season 7. On a mission to complete 1 conquest and complete the Destroyer Chapter before it ends. At the start, my gems were two at 60 and one at 65. Will I make it or will I fail at my mission?

Season 7 is now over and now it is time to review the build I was using and give Raidan a nice long vacation. I really rather enjoyed the build I was using, but it did have its flaws.

One of the biggest I have complained about quite a bit is the inability to open doors when I wanted to. This is due to the cool down on my skills was too long and I had no quick skills to just break open doors. This maybe due to I was playing Solo, but the build did say it was suitable for solo. Which it was, but it would have been nice to not have to wait to open doors sometimes.

Positives of the build was it is very easy to use. It is not one of those builds where you have to time skill just right and pay extreme attention. So, it is really one of those builds you can just zone out and play. However, you do have to make sure your Gargantuans are doing what they should be doing and not off killing some trash mob. Rift Guardians are not that bad at all and you can even hide behind walls and just let your pets do all the work for you. I think this is one of the reasons it makes a really good higher Grift build due to you don't have to tank the Rift Guardian.

Again very nice build and would recommend it for anyone wanting to play a Witch Doctor for the first time.

Diablo 3 Season 7: We Ain't Got Time For This!

Again we are back with Grifting and this time I managed to finally push through Grift 70...and then promptly fail Grift 71 and 69. It seems the RNG was not in my favor for grifts this evening. It is probably the way the game tells people to stop playing and just wait for next season.  However, progress is progress and with two days to go to complete Destroyer (not Slayer!).

Diablo 3 Season 7: I need a doorman!

We are now in the last few days of the season which means any final things I wanted to get done need to get done! This time, I focused on leveling my gems up from 49 to 57. I still want to really get at least one conquest done before the season ends, even if I do not complete the Slayer chapter.

Diablo 3 Season 7: RNG let me count the ways

More Grifting and continuing my quest towards the conquest for solo grifting. Not much happened really of notice, but I did fail Grift 70 due to I got a really bad rift spawn. RNG let me count the ways that you hate me so. From bad item drops to making sure my follower does all that is possible to get me killed you always show such disdain for me.

I am hoping my next Diablo 3 video will be more interesting due to I hope to complete Grift 70 and get my gems to level 50.

Diablo 3 Season 7: Yay Sound!

After having technical difficulties yesterday with my sound I was able to finally get a good stream today. Sadly with the lack of sound yesterday made for a painfully boring stream so I will spare the internet from that horror.

Yesterday, I did manage to finally complete a set dungeon using the Arachyr Set. It was much easier than the Helltooth and I would highly recommend anyone needing the set dungeon requirement to go for that set. This allowed me to complete the Champion Chapter and move on to Slayer.

I mainly focused on trying to do T12 rift in 6 minutes or less, but I didn’t manage to accomplish this due to poor rift spawns. I also replayed Grift 66 since that was my other major achievement from my silent stream. Beat my time too. Finished off by killing both Adria and Diablo on T13 to finish up more parts of the Slayer Chapter.

Diablo 3 Season 7: I hate Set Dungeons

I attempted to do the Helltooth Set Dungeon and failed horribly. I really wish Blizzard would redo these so they are actually doable or move them up higher in the seasonal journey. They are extremely frustrating, annoying and not fun to do the way they are currently set up.

I gave up on the set dungeon and decided to do Grifts instead. Managed to complete 64 and 65 this time around!

Diablo 3 Season 7: Fear my Kitty!

Kadala decided to have some mercy on me with my failure of getting the Mojo I need for the Helltooth Set Dungeon. She instead giving me the Kitty Mojo which I have been dying to get since it was first released. Though the snakes really worked well for the Witch Doctor look, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be carrying around a kitty instead. I am very happy with my decision. :3

I was able to complete Grift 63, but I failed 64 after getting killed way too many times. So, it looks like for now 64 is my cap till I can get some better gear and level my gems up.

Some notable loot from doing Grifts was an Ancient Uhkapian Serpent. It wasn’t the best roll and it was instantly turned into a Kitty. Hopefully, I will get lucky with farming off video and get that mojo I need for the Helltooth Set Dungeon.

Diablo 3 Season 7: Dead Ends and Grift 62

More Grifting on my Witch Doctor. I am still trying to finish up the build I will need in order to do the Helltooth Set Dungeon without ripping my hair out. Hopefully, that will be my next video provided the RNG gives me the Mojo I need.

This time, I was able to get one of my Gems to 25 finally and also managed to survive 4 unique packs at once. Sadly, the map generator decided to hate me and kept giving me maps with quite a few dead ends which lead to me backtracking a lot. Ended on Grift 62 with just under 2 minutes to spare.

Diablo 3 Season 7: Ubers and Grift 59

Yet again playing Diablo 3 and this time I thought it would be good to take care of the Ubers for the Seasonal Journey. Still need to do the Set Dungeon, but I will save that for another day. Mr. Kulle was nice enough to give me a pretty decent Furnace, but sadly I need it for the cube. After doing Ubers I did some more Grifts and managed to make it to 59. I think I will be doing more Gem grinding off stream due to its reached that point in the grinding, but I will save any Grift pushing for videos.

Diablo 3 Season 7: DC my Old Friend

After a bit of a break,  I finally got some time to stream again. I was actually doing pretty well till I got disconnected which is why the video is shorter than normal. It was actually Battle.net failing and not my internet. Sadly I didn’t get to finish GR 54, but I at least reached paragon 300 before that happened.

I guess this was my sign I really need to clean my stash out.

Diablo 3 Season 7: Pushing the Grifts

Yet again I am pushing my Witch Doctor to her limits in the Greater Rifts. This time, I was able to get my last gem I needed and get several legendaries I need for my build I’m doing. These included Tasker of Theo, Sacred Harvester, and The Short Man’s Finger! So things are looking up in the world of Diablo!

Diablo 3 Season 7: Getting them Gems

Wow! Part 10 already and I didn’t even know it until I realized I forgot to move my last stream video into the archive folder!  Thanks for all the support and tips I have been getting! It has been a major help as I start my journey as a streamer. You guys are awesome!

Anyway, a good friend of mine actually helped me out with farming legendaries for my stream. So, I almost had a full stash tab as well as an almost full stash of blood shards to start off the stream. Nothing very good, but the forgotten souls will be needed later.

The RNG was in my favor and I actually started getting some of the legendary gems I need for my build as well as some nicer pieces of equipment. Still, I am having some problems on T10, but once I get these gems leveled it sound be easier. Went from paragon 199 to 222 so making them gains.

Also…it seems the Templar may have X-ray vision or at least can see through walls/doors? This may go to explain his behavior. O_o’

Diablo 3 Season 7: Surviving the Grifts

Due to I am hitting the grinding phase of Diablo 3 I figure it would be best to only stream the interesting stuff and do the boring stuff offline. Depending on how boring it is I may not even blog about it, but I shall play it by ear. So, I will be streaming Diablo 3 less, but I plan on saving all legendaries, blood shards and death breaths for the stream. I will stream once I hit a full stash tab of legendaries or I hit my blood shard cap. I will be starting each stream with a legendary item reveal, blood shard gambling and cubing. Those out there who can’t get enough gambling make sure to check out my stream as soon as it starts.

This time, I actually had a viewer pop into the stream which was a nice change from just talking to myself. I was able to complete Grift 45 (Torment 10) barely, which I think is a pretty nice accomplishment. I only recorded paragon levels 155 - 180, but I did some farming before hand to get some more legendaries and blood shards for the stream. I am able to do T8 pretty well now.

In addition, well I was farming I came a crossed one of those special treasure goblins that drop pets. I think my new pet suits my Witch Doctor very nicely.

Diablo 3: Farming Progress

I decided to not stream Diablo 3 today since I figure it was better to spend my time farming which is kind of boring to watch and also try to commentate on. However, I made sure to save all the blood shards, death breath, and legendaries for the stream. Sadly, the legendaries are not anything to party about, but hey that is the RNG making sure I work for everything I get.

Diablo 3 Season 7: Finally got a socket!

Myraim was finally nice enough to give me a socket for once after who knows how many tries. I was able to complete Chapter IV  of the seasonal journey (Yay for Demonic looking Pony!) and I reached paragon 100 in the process. I didn’t record paragon levels 93-99 since it was going to be pretty boring watching me slowly do rifts, but I did save the one legendary I got and the blood shards for the stream.

Now that I have the entire Helltooth set things are going much better and faster. I was able to start doing Great Rifts at about T7 Level with little difficulty. This allowed me to get some more key pieces of equipment I need for my build I am doing.

However, this isn’t the best news. The best news is my Witch Doctor is now actually looking like a Witch Doctor again and not like a 5 year old dressed her. 

Diablo 3 Season 7: The RNG Hates Me

Finally, after spending days working through computer issues on my spare machine (RIP MacBook battery) I was able to finally do a stream of Diablo 3. Still, Myriam is refusing to give me a socket and now Kadala has joined her in a pact with the RNG to make my life as difficult as possible. Sadly rifts are going super slow for me due to I am not doing enough damage.

 

No new gear this time as well. So no need to post an image of my Witch Doctor’s current state. Feel free to check the previous post if you want to see how horrible the yellow clashes with the Helltooth set. 

Diablo 3 Season 7: Curse you Myriam!

This evening I decided to play Diablo 3 again without streaming since my friend wanted to help me out some more. I am almost done with Chapter IV of the seasonal journey, but for one thing. Getting a socket in a weapon. However, after running out of gold and all of my forgotten souls I wasn’t able to get one. I’m pretty sure Myriam has had a talk with the RNG and is now making sure I don’t get anything easy. Even just getting a socket in a weapon.

I was able to complete a Greater Rift 20 with ease and I also got the bracers I needed for the build I am planning on doing thanks to Kadala for once. I made it from Paragon 63 - 86 as well.

On the appearance front…still not looking the greatest. The yellow really clashes with the rest of the Helltooth Set.

Diablo 3 Season 7: Making Gains

With the help of a friend, I was able to make some serious gains. Didn’t stream this evening, but I managed to make it from Paragon 7 to 63 with most of Chapter 4 of the Seasonal Journey done. Also, I am able to do T4 pretty slowly, but at least I’m managing it now. Hopefully, once I get the rest of the Helltooth set things will progress much quicker, my character will start looking better and the next time I stream it will be more interesting.

Diablo 3 Season 7: 70 and Beyond

Though the RNG tried as it might I finally made it to 70 today and actually to Paragon 7! Hopefully things will be more interesting from here on out with my Diablo videos now that the hard part is over with.

Last but not least it happened. My character looks completely ridiculous, but hey it is the price to get to 70.

Diablo 3 Season 7: Magical Not Healing Beams

This evening playing Diablo 3 I ran into my old frenemy the RNG. This time, it decided to throw me unique packs with some of my most despised combos of abilities. Waller, Frost, Vortex, and of course the Magical Not Healing Beams also known by normal people as Arcane Beams. I call them that due to a  friend of mine starting using the term Magical Healing Beams when he wore the amulet which turns arcane damage to into healing instead. Since I do not have that amulet yet they are much less amusing. Anyway really close to making it to 70 and finished off at level 66. I’m sure the RNG has a lot of pain and suffering in store for me when I start gear farming.

Also as predicted in my previous post. My character coordination in clothing is progressing towards “I don’t care what I look like I’m slaying demons for God’s sake!”. Though she looks like she is ready for the 4th of July a bit over a month late.
