Hi, we managed to clear gauntlet I3 today with our group of pve enthusiasts. It was hard work and i have to thank Blizzard for this well balanced and doable but hard as hell challenge. The key to defeat the boss is pure dmg. And you don't need 8k resonance to do enough dmg.

Sure, there are other tactics which could also work. But for nonwhale casual raiders( we did 14 tries in 2 weeks) its the best strategy.

Our group consists of 3.6k, 3.4k, 3.1k, 2.8k, 2.7k, 2.5k, 1.9k and 1.6k resonance. So 3 mid spender, 3 low spender(mostly BP only) and 2 F2P.

2 necromancers are mandatory. And all have to be over 41320 CR.

You have to play a little with group composition for synergies and achieve an overall dps of about 40-44m dps. Then you can skip third leg phase which will destroy most Party compositions

Place a group in the top left and the other group in the bottom right. The groups should Stick together for bonearmor.

Do max dps on the body and save your big CDs for the 38second body phase where you have to delete 1.44b hp of the boss. To prevent the boss from charging out of dmg reach, you can use bonewall to hinder him from charging....in the body phase.

Hope that helps you.

Out of curiosity, you don’t have to provide in-game names, what do you all (and gals) do for a living?

I came back on he'll 3 left di because my friends left because it was cartoony as 3 and I got bored I came back on and nothing is the same idk If I should give up on the game again because I'm lost

these people are incredibly inconsiderate, I cant even world farm because these people refuse to do hellslayer bounties. I have reported every person I have seen doing bounties but blizzard refuses to do anything about it?!

I finally got one

There are people who switch server every month just to keep 3 x 12% valor buff.

I am usually top 3 in my class bg ranking. But I still get 8%.

Can we stop making RoE a requirement for 12%.

Only 8 person from a clan can participate.

Basically most people wouldn’t be able to do it.

Legendary Gem Question: I currently have Torment, Caarsen, Berserker, Igneous, Mother, Pain Clasp, Fervent, and Viper gems. I just got lucky and picked up a 3/5 Starfire gem from the Mirror event.

For context, I’m a BK with a primary attack focus and F2P.

1. Should I salvage the Starfire for 35 gem power to use toward awakening Mother/Viper? (I currently have two slots awakened: Berserker and Caarsen.)

2. If not, which gem should I replace?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. For those who use endwinter set (at least the 2pc), have you observed if the effect is proccing? I've been killling mobs longer than usual today then I noticed I no longer see the mark on top of the mobs' names.

Tips for newbies?

I'm 100% free to play and luckily yesterday I managed to pull a bsj from a mirrored jewels rift, I got 2 of them 1 as a bonus so I sold it bc I'm desperate for plat

I'm currently using Mystery elixir Bsj Everlasting torment Vipers bite Berserkers eye Pain clasp Igneous scorn Mothers lament

I wanted to maybe use half my plat and get a gloom cask but I didn't know if it's worth it for barb

So I j wanted to ask the experienced barbs (preferably f2p barbs) what you guys use or what you'd recommend I swap out or use for my build and if you think I should use a gloom or not

Does anyone actually read player feedback or does it take a partner in the partner program for these people to pay attention?

UPDATE: I have now been made aware at least 24 hours ago a DM was sent to devs, this has been posted on their forums, posted on reddit for 3 days, also posted in the most used discord channels

This kind of behavior is unacceptable. This is something that should have been an easy hotfix but it seems issues like this just are not considered important to the developers who made this mistake.

I am sorry but if I make a mistake in my job, I am told to fix it immediately or I am written up. If I refuse to fix it and say "well I am off work so the customers issues are not my problem" I would be fired.

I understand people have lives, but we are talking about an error caused by developers which has not effected 10s if not 100s of thousands of players, and to ignore that because a few people do not want to do their job is pretty unacceptable IMO.

I wish they were like other things in the game where you go in & it's a solo instance or with your pre made party (maybe just 2 of you) and you are alone to practice, mess about, find your best technique without clogging up the tower/ pissing somebody off whose in there doing their shiz all perfect like. So that you can actually help your clan when it comes to competing.

Do we get to do the Mirrored Event again?

there are a lot of leg gem right now and the dev keep releasing new gem, I think its much better if they add more slot not just for reso but will also give us the gem effect, its important so we can maximize all gem in game and for a pve like me its help a lot,

Matchmaking was fucked but at least it was still players.

This shit is straight boring.

Haven’t been able to connect to battlenet for the past four hours. I know server reset is in there but still…. Is something going on that I don’t know about or is this a me problem??

:p

I’ve been stuck in Hell 1 for the longest time because I can’t get a party together to beat the final boss. What do I do to get Hell 2?

I decided to install Undecember and play it for a couple days because I’ve been feeling a little grinded out on DI…. And wow all I can say is it makes me appreciate DI so so so much more. Maybe I’m not smart enough or whatever, but Undecember is a little too complex/“chunky” (for lack of better words) for my exhausted, parenting-focused brain. I’d like to be able to enjoy it but it just doesn’t catch my attention like DI does. I’ve played hack n slash all my life, including PoE back when it was in beta. All that to say, it immediately made me feel invigorated again to play DI, despite the grind past P500.

Is it just me or what do y’all think about Undecember? If y’all can point me in the right direction on UD I’m more than happy to change my ways.

What is the percentage chance of them spawning? I think I've done the damn lost pages hunt now ten times and it keeps teleporting me to challenge chambers.

I don’t recall crafting being this bad before, like a few difficulties ago. They must have nerfed the chance of crafting a 3-socket to less than 5%.

Since Inferno 3 I have not crafted a single 3-socket. Over 100 wisps spent. I know there was a post about this earlier, but it is 100% true. I’m not talking about a triple triple, I mean any 3-socket with any affix or stats.

We are 2-3 weeks into Inferno 3 and not one green piece currently equipped is a result of crafting.

Unlike wizard, tempest or necro, barb essence tool tips are very difficult to discern whether they stack with other essences on the same gear or not.

Example: for other classes, if an essence does not stack, it usually reads 'X now does' If it stacks, it usually reads 'X now also'

For barb, it's inconsistent or just doesn't state either of the above, so it's trial and error to figure out what stacks and what doesn't - whirlwind main hand essences, I'm looking at you!

DI is lacking in alternate PVP modes. Let’s all list some of our favorite versions of PVP that we’ve seen in other games to kick start Blizzard’s creative process (for the 1:1000000 chance they read this).

Listing a couple I’ve enjoyed in the past: most the PVP from the various floors of the guild wars 1 tournament ladder: Hero’s Ascent, and also the battle field setup for guild battles.

Examples: relic running, where two teams try to run their team relic to a drop off point, first to 3 relics wins. Runner can’t use attack skills, so team has to try to defend them. DI implementation would be that the runner has extra HP buff and shield that can be re-upped by achieving side objectives (e.g. holding an altar location) but is inherently slower.

Another one was where you had to escort your NPC to an altar they had to cap to start getting points. Other team tries to kill NPC on altar and replace with their own. There are also side objectives on the map: a flag that can get run from home base to a drop off point to provide their team with extra health and damage, and a trebuchet whose parts can be collected and assembled to fire a devastating shot at the altar. This way you can’t just camp and win. DI version would be escorting a smaller version of “the immortal” dude (one per team) as we can’t really heal NPCs.

Lots of other ideas that I’m sure are way better so I’m going to slack off and enjoy the stories that come in.
