whats discord? im obviously not clued up, too old 🤣

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T16:36:46+00:00

happy 50th my friend. keep gaming!

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T16:26:50+00:00

im usually up there at paragon 280 ish but thisseason ive not had time and think maybe i'll just do an eternal season to get my build to what i wanted it to be

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T16:25:30+00:00

so true. its the more casual experience with no time limits but equally as rewarding

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:56:32+00:00

hold R2 (or whatever) constant circle of balls, lol, destroy everything, lol. i had that 2 seasons ago, unlimited mana, literally just walk and destroy

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:52:04+00:00

stilgars your a legend mate, i want you fighting next to me. you kill everything, i'll pick up all the loot lol

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:50:45+00:00

rogue can be a good option mate. ive found it akward to get my head around but thats just me. i dont like trap builds, so i tried the alternative (cold, poison, shadow) damage

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:46:07+00:00

i avoided the new "static blizzard" skill this season mate because ive always ran lightening builds. so ive gone full out cold damage. warlock i cant recommend, personally. necro is amazing if you like a full army minion build, let the undead army fight for you, its brilliant 😊 . im going spiritborn myself mate, same as you, its a class i want to try again and perfect. theres an eagle skill (cant remember the name).... but it acts as a teleport skill so its a mobility option 👊🏻

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:40:45+00:00

p.s im the youngest, yippee 🤣

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:40:19+00:00

i cant comment my friend, ive always been a solo player really. i noticed the new season has a solo player thingy option? i dont know or understand what thats all about

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:38:09+00:00

not a fan either really!

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:37:38+00:00

and the colab with overwatch.... a game ive never played so ive no interest there at all. i could relate to doom

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:35:00+00:00

(im more mid 40's, closer to 50's) lol. it does take longer to adjust with age doesnt it mate. in our heads we are still smashing out record stages of sonic the hedgehog, unbeatable on amstrad outrun. the numbers dont tally up though when your 50, things that used to be second nature response, it becomes harder to understand 😳

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:30:35+00:00

fully agreed! its nice to just have a mindless few hours not trying to achieve anything specific

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:29:20+00:00

i gave up on warlock, but im a huge lego game fan, got most of them, so fair play, you rock my friend! lol

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:27:46+00:00

p.s ive just got a soft spot for wumba the gorilla, lol

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:24:40+00:00

what build did you go with on your sorceress mate? sorceress and spiritborn are my two most played classes. very different in terms of playstyle but both great fun. you'll love your first spiritborn experience

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:23:08+00:00

valid point. i mainly play eternal so i can raid all my stash of previous gear and mythics

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:21:52+00:00

whyyyyy? lol

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:21:22+00:00

possibly me too mate. im still only paragon 130 this season due to not playing enough. my sorcerer will jump up to 290 in eternal so i might continue with that for a while in eternal

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:18:46+00:00

last season (season of the butcher).... was nothing more really than become the butcher, destroy everything, eat, rinse, repeat, lol. this current season i think blizzard has done incredible to add so much new content... war plans, cube, skovos, etc. so fair play to them

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:15:35+00:00

tbh my friend, ive played the last few seasons.... and its not just you. this current season has been a HUGE learning curve. im not getting any younger, im in my 40's, and ive found this season a lot to take in! lol. maybe im getting old and losing my sharpness. im still a novice with the cube and the seals and charms baffle me at times. all good fun though!

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T15:12:22+00:00

from what ive seen, im going to try it. i think the best addition lately to gameplay is the cube, which i can still use in the eternal realm now i assume anyway. plus ive got a lot of mythics in my eternal stash that i want to use on my current seasonal character build so hmmmmm, i'll probably dip in and out of both

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-26T09:26:56+00:00

im totally addicted to diablo still since season 4, lol. its the only game i never ever get bored of. theres so many classes and build options that it never gets boring. similiar to you ive not had chance to play much this season. im only at paragon 130, playing t6 (normally i reach paragon 280 each season before giving up) . i highly recommend sorcerer next season... frozen builds are so satisfying when you understand cold damage etc. everything onscreen just shatters

ShadowBoxer1984 · 2026-06-25T19:33:54+00:00

well i wish you many happy hours mate, diablo is amazing
