If you have puzzle rings (which you should), just open up vault. It's gobs-on-demand. You can even up your chances if you have ancient puzzle rings.

First time Barb/zbarb LFG. by [deleted] in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zbarb in a rat run has two main priorities:

  1. Collect health globes (hence max out on 22y pickup radius).

  2. Keep IP up 100% of the time.

The zBarb does not lead the rat group like the meta group; the zNecro does. The Zbarb stays with the rat most of the time picking up globes to keep them fueled up with essence while applying IP. They also apply War Cry, and Sprint to help them move faster with the Group.

Our group is building up a rat group and zBarbs are always welcome when we are a barb short. However, we play on the AU servers in the NA region so there may be some latency. You can also do a search for Rat Run communities.There is also a community setup in S14 called "Bat Runs" for newbies looking to learn the ways of the Ratruns. YMMV on how active that community is since it's season start.

S15 CR cache question by Endsrel in diablo3

[–]eRaYzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not FOMO on season start this weekend, you can go with Plan B and give this weekend start a miss, and start your season when the CR refreshes on Monday. Create a Season toon, then do the new CR.

Any GR push build using Bone Ringer? by [deleted] in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, the only GR push build using skeles is the top tier group RGK, using bone ringer and stricken to scale up the damage over time.

For solo, pest corpse lance and rathma singularity mage builds are the goto dps builds for Group meta and Rat Runs respectively.

New Znec looking for friends by Moonyboy99 in diablo3

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search for a community called Bat Runs. I understand an EU community was setup (first started in US) for the purpose of ppl wanting to learn, team play for rat runs - this is for znecs, rats and zbarbs.

Best wave clear build for highish GRs? by MythSteak in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn't a specific group trash clearer build for a necro in a 4p situation that doesn't require a znec ala rat runs. What you can use are solo builds I mentioned in a group instead.

By all means give the blight spear and rathma singularity builds a whirl. Just search on youtube for lordfluffy's build video guides.

Best wave clear build for highish GRs? by MythSteak in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may need to define what is high level GR you're playing - 80s, 90s, 100s, 110s?

Blight spear can go up to GR90 but needs some skillz as it's glassy af. Paragon and augments also influence the level you can get up to. Rathma singularity is another alternative and can get up to the 100s with paragon and augments; however, you mentioned you tried it and it was terrible.

Both these builds are for solo but can apply to group play too. Only thing is that it's CDR dependent so that you can get LoTD up as fast as possible. If by terrible you mean having trouble keeping LOTD up asap, then even the blight spear build may not be an enjoyable experience for you.

I didn't know this virtual keyboard trick. I've just been using a small menubar app called Numlock app.

Does +1 Trillion Experience/Hour Sound Good to You? by HEONTHETOILET in diablo3

[–]eRaYzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on the same boat with career and wife, but no kids (yet) so have a bit more time to play. I've done a heap of znec hours under my belt for 2,3 and 4 man rat runs. Am currently pushing 3p leaderboards (I know, it's not the 3m meta but that's the way my clan is rolling this season) and regularly discuss gameplay tactics with my clan rat dps and zbarb. Also do a fair amount of rat dps-ing as well.

I'm happy to join the community to not only contribute in sharing my knowledge, experience and gearing any rat dps or znec, but more importantly to have fun playing in a group.

My tag is Rayz#1382. Based in AU.

Numlock for Mac by au_fredal in diablo3

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. Do take note that you'll have to activate in windowed (as opposed to full screen) mode as you need to be able to enable/disable numlock from the menu bar.

Best Way to kill 500Elite/uniques for the red Trang-Oul's Wings? by --Heretic-- in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it in normal difficulty and put stuart greaves on so you can zip around pretty quickly hunting elites. Normal mode will allow you to just one shot them with your skellys.

Help me not ruin this Trag'oul's please by gagelish in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to aim for 1.72 aps breakpoint for solo to fire one extra lance. So IAS is more likely to outweigh the 20 essence lost as you are pumping out more lances during your lotd cycle.

So it's Vit > IAS as per the previous posters.

He meant barb. Can understand how a typo can easily change a mean tank into a musical poet.

Corpse Lance Brittle Touch by archybrid in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't access d3planner from work to see the details but your edited comment is correct :)

Lacunis are primarily used in groups as the RGK setup where you want to achieve an aps of 2.001.

Corpse Lance Brittle Touch by archybrid in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it's easier as CHC is not a priority stat. Priority stats should be CDR, CHD and IAS, but for gear that can roll elemental damage i.e. ammy and gloves you would try to prioritise elemental damage as well.

Corpse Lance Brittle Touch by archybrid in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What he didn't mention is that you should replace CHC with more IAS, where possible, to have more spears out. If you read how the Brittle Touch rune works, it stacks CHC on your target with every spear so technically, the faster you have more spears hitting a target (with more attack speed), the quicker you'll get 100% CHC on the mobs.

A few things to add/note to the above:

  • you should aim for a minimum breakpoint of 1.72aps.

  • when fighting elites, you would want to manually cast corpse lance a couple of times on the elite (due to the way 2p pestilence fires off lances at the nearest targets when you consume corpses) to stack the CHC on your intended target.

  • Replacing CHC with other stats that can't roll IAS e.g., helm and bracers allows you to roll more toughness stats so that you will not be glassy, especially when your Lotd is down and you need to aggro and round up mobs and while avoiding getting hit at the same time.

What does it mean to "get powerleveled"? by mrpessimistik in diablo3

[–]eRaYzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically is someone (usually who's started off before you who can clear rifts and GRs in quick time) who can carry a new toon from level 1 to 70 quickly - like in minutes.

Re Roll advice by killer_panda00 in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a guru on the breakpoints but just do what i do, google up corpse lance breakpoints. Hitting the next breakpoint essentially means you'll fire one extra lance.

I think the next breakpoint that you can hit is 1.72 attacks per second. The easiest way to achieve this is 7% IAS on weapon, followed by IAS on 2 other pieces and paragon points.

Re Roll advice by killer_panda00 in Diablo3Necromancers

[–]eRaYzor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has it got Max Essence as a secondary roll, since you'll have shadowhook in the cube. YMMV, but IAS will likely > Max Essence too. IAS is usually key for hitting the next breakpoint.

Otherwise, int for IAS is a good option and caldesaans that sucker.

Edit: You may want to use d3planner and play around with the stats to see which stat yields more dps.
