I meant the second toon. Can you pass stuff on?

If you die? No. If I have another HC toon sure, same sort of stash rules as softcore.

Gotcha, so you roll a second to make use of all that other gear you find before you get punked

Woah. Season 2 is ending soonish.

Wow. That was a lot shorter than Season 1, right? (I only got in on Season 1 towards the end). I'm okay with it though. I'm ready to try a new character and get the Season 3 transmogs.

Yeah, though I think next time I will just play Season 3 for the tranmog and then play whatever.

Re-leveling gems is a pain.

Yeah... that's why I stopped in season 2...

It's been known that this one will be really short.

I can see season 3 lasting a good 4-6 months though. (prior to next expansion pack!).

Why did they plan on making Season 2 short? And I didn't know they were doing another expansion. That's exciting!

They did the current 2.1.2 patch update mid-season 1.

They admitted that they don't want to do major patches in middle of seasons and would rather coincide a seasonal reset with a major update.

As to the next expansion pack... they're coy about it, but the industry believes there's one, maybe two more major patches for D3.

There is a week long +100% gold find and EXP bonus starting today.

Sounds like logins went down when they announced patch

Season 3 'bout to start! This Friday!

Shame I have Warmachine Friday night and all of Saturday followed by catching up on grading.

So the new season has begun. Who wants to power level! http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/18710109/

Eh, no one's schedule ever seems to line up for that kind of thing, lol.

The new Bard set is awesome and you can do some pretty cool load ups with it. I am using the new and improved Bul-Katho's Oath set, IK's and the Wrath of the Wastes with a Royal Ring of Awesome . With the Royal Ring you can still get away with using two pieces of the IK's set so you can keep your Ancients up until they die.

The Bul-Katho's Oath set makes it so you don't have to waste any of your passives on wrath generation since they do it super fast. Another bonus to the Oath set is that the weapons automatically come with sockets so you can either replace the socket with life per hit or something else useful and then use a Ramaladni's Gift on them or change the elemental damage. My wrath generation is so high I rarely see it drop so I use Berserk Rage and Brawler instead of wrath generators to pile in some more damage.

My Friend is using the opposite of my build mainly using IK's and some pieces of the Wrath of the Wastes. Luckily the WofW set has pauldrons and no belt so you can use five pieces of the IK set (as long as you use the maul) and get the 6th set bonus with the RR, then he is going to use three pieces of the WofW set and get the 4th set bonus.

all in all this is a nice update for the Barbarian lovers . Next I will try out the new DH set to see if we can get away from everyone using the M6 set.

Paragon 63 so far. Pretty much getting by on a Heart Slaughterer and Cain Set. Alternating between Torment 2 Rifts and Bounties, trying for a RoRG, of course. Wrath of the Wastes gloves did drop for me, but I won't equip it until I get another piece of wastes gear and/or a Ring of Royal Grandeur so that I can keep wearing my Cain set.I would like to up the torment, but boss fights only work well for me when both Wrath of the Berserker and Call of the Ancients are off cooldown, so I'm waiting for more increased damage potential before I explore beyond Torment 2.

The new bounties are cute. I think the new ones are rescue points on a map. Kill mobs around an area/captive and then rescue the captive or destroy the objective.

A neat change is that your blood shard max goes up when you beat Rift tiers by a certain amount. Not sure how it works out, but I think I'm at 610 cap now?

The other change is picking up loot. Basically picking up is a whole lot easier since you get all of the same kind. So if you pick up a gem, all nearby gems get picked up. Items still need to be picked up indivudally, though.

Ooh, and I have a Broken Crown. Using it to try to farm all the rubies I need for 5 Strength gems. Getting close to done, and then I switch it out for an emerald.

I got the banner

Haha, I power leveled three people to 70 today.

Why do I even play other classes? The Barbarian gets work done.

Thanks malfred... it's funny has all hell as I was struggling with T1 with my lvl 57 wizzy. Then, you're invite came in for a T6 rifts.

I'd just entered into the portal and I leveled up 2 times immediately....lol!

Yeah, I was struggling last week, too. I was just telling Hordini
that I was having trouble pushing torments and greater rifts and
then Sunday morning 1-2 pieces drop for me and a RoRG Saturday
night, and that was it. I pushed things from Torment 3 to 6 and
I was off to races.

It's nothing like what the ladder chasers have going.

If you're leveling solo, Rifts are not the way to go. Difficulty
should be set to Master/Hard and you should run easy bounties
for the bounty xp bonus. Add some kind of speed skill and crank them out.

Yup... or your friend malfred power levels you.

A lvl 70 Furnance dropped for me.

w00t!

Oh dear....

So I got this belt http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/blessed-of-haull

And it is probably the best thing to have on a paladin.

The hammers change according to what hammer you have as a secondary. I don't use my hammers but I do have them so I can cast lightning damage on everything and so far I am starting to get pretty good items.

Thanks Malfred!

I need to stop grouping with ya'll. Typing gets me killed.

I need to start grouping with ya'll .

Grinded out my gems to 25.

Still hoping for Focus and Bul Kathos weapons. I figure they will
or they won't drop. In the meantime, level up the gem of ease
I guess and then work on a Crusader.

Try my build once you find that belt!

My build has only gotten better and is probably the most powerful crusader build I have tried, apart from horsecrusader. Which is all about mobility and moving extremely quickly and dealing millions of damage rapidly.

Also I want to try and get the 400 achievement score goal.

Hehe I was actually thinking rolands
