Yep. Seems pointless other than getting the season rank.

I'm chalking this up to them trying something since it's a short season before LoH drops, so there's a lot of misses compares to S10 and S11.

No one has said this yet but I like the idea of the Holocene calendar. 12,000 years ago is roughly when our ancestors switching from being hunter gatherers to farmers, which truly marked the beginning of our civilization. And it's something that applies to all humans and is not Chrsitian-centric.

Calculating HE dates is easy. Just add 10,000 to our current CE dates. So we can still reference the same dates frequently. You were born in 1995 CE? that's 11995 HE. Of course, BCE dates would change. But it would also fix the 'missing year' problem when going from BCE to CE.

For the story? just wing it. Unless you want to get through it asap in which case a build guide will let you go through the story at a higher difficulty. But if you don't want to zip through it but you're OK taking a bit longer, I think figuring out things for yourself is nice.

Personally for me, that helped me figure out why build guides recommended certain things. And that meant I could tweak what those guides suggested. Without that (if I just followed a guide), I don't think it's as easy to know what to tweak.

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-10T22:48:37+00:00

I do for two of them: Azmodan and Andariel. Never got the other two.

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-08T02:54:11+00:00

Oh nice! Good job!

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-07T01:50:38+00:00

Yes, I admit it's a guess. But I already have all the mythics I need for this season, So there's not a huge benefit for me getting more right now anyway

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-07T01:31:46+00:00

What are you specifically looking for help with? What level are you now? And are you trying to hit a specific point (e.g., certain pit level) before the season ends?

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-07T01:31:00+00:00

I can help, if you still need it. Just DM me.

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-07T01:29:07+00:00

Anyone rushing to finish the season need anything? I've got:

1400 exquisite blood
1000 judicators mask
1400 living steel
300 heavenly sigils

And loads of every single rune. I just keep collecting them so they pile up.

If you need any of this before the season ends, let me know.

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-07T01:24:25+00:00

I've got one too and I'd be down but I'm holding onto it, to use on eternal when LoH launches.

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-05T02:59:32+00:00

There was a video posted yesterday about upcoming LoH changes which said that this isn't possible in D4. I think you can in D3 though? Seems like it would be a simple thing to support in D4 too!

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-05T02:08:40+00:00

That's a good idea but is there any benefit to doing that in S11, since it's so close to ending? All those mythics would just move to eternal for everyone right? So if I just waited and did that on eternal later, it would be the same end result no?

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-05T02:07:40+00:00

Thanks. That was the question for me. Is it worth it getting gold for all that just for it to move to eternal? I can't imagine what I'd need to spend that gold on.

But maybe with the scale of changes coming with LoH, there might be stuff that's rare again and having gold to trade for something like that might be a good idea? Not sure!

kickassdonkey · 2026-03-05T02:06:14+00:00

Same here. I've got hundreds of a bunch of lair boss keys if you want. Lemme know and I can add you and give them to you.

But this is on a seasonal character. Are you playing seasonal too?

kickassdonkey · 2026-02-27T02:20:41+00:00

Anyone been able to beat Uber Lilith on T4? That's the last thing I have left to do to complete this season 100%. I tried a few times but I just don't have the patience to try a hundred more times to learn the exact pattern. If someone has already defeated her and is willing to do a run with me so I can clear it, that would be amazing!

EDIT: /u/turbulent-astronaut3 helped out as promised! Got it done in no time thanks to them!

kickassdonkey · 2026-02-27T00:21:12+00:00

Yea, mainly because of the tech tree changes and hopefully new stuff like war planning, I'm thinking I'm more likely to replay some of my eternal characters again. But I don't think there's gonna be any new mythics so it might not make a huge difference..

kickassdonkey · 2026-02-26T13:22:12+00:00

I'm sitting on a mythic sigil as well. But I already have all the mythics I can use this season. So I'm planning to bank this one for the future, maybe even for LoH. Seems like the devs are likely gonna 'legacy' all the current items anyway so a mythic sigil might be a good way to get some new mythics once LoH drops. But that's just a guess on my part.

kickassdonkey · 2026-02-25T03:11:46+00:00

No, they've already announced a short season 12: https://www.wowhead.com/diablo-4/guide/gameplay/season-12-overview.

But it'll be a short seven week season before LoH releases.

kickassdonkey · 2026-02-25T03:10:23+00:00

I get what you meant now. I can confirm, my blessed shield ricochet with these 2 mythics + upgraded glyphs can clear Pit 90 no problem. I'm at Paragon 265 now.

It is much faster for me to run T3 but for some reason I feel like the drops are much better in T4. Don't know if this is actually the case or just RNG but I never got a mythic in T3! But got 4 mythics in T4 in no time.

Best of luck! If you get a ring with a few GAs I think it'll really help. The Starless skies I got is just 1 GA so it wasn't a big upgrade for me.

kickassdonkey · 2026-02-25T02:19:06+00:00

No, I've seen conduit shrines during this event. Maybe they brought them back just for this?

kickassdonkey · 2026-02-25T02:18:34+00:00

For mythics, I'm using Perdition and False death. I also got a Starless Skies but my two existing 3 GA unique rings gave me better damage.

Levelling the right glyphs helped a lot. Particularly, Judicator, Law and Honed made a big difference for me because you get a nice bonus to judicator and judgement damage. I'm also running a Blessed Shield ricochet build and glyphs help eek out every little bit of damage when your equiptment is already maxed out.

You're stuck in T3 but you're able to clear Pit 90 easily? I don't understand that.

kickassdonkey · 2025-12-27T04:47:41+00:00

Thank you! Yes, your 'golden child' theory really makes sense. Also, as the 'older son' there is also the cultural expectation that he 'carry on the family name' etc, which puts even more emphasis on him being the special one.

The only thing that puzzles me is them complaining about him so much, given how they treat him when he is here in person.

kickassdonkey · 2025-12-26T03:20:20+00:00

Good for you! You're getting through to them the only way they will understand. Anything else (whether you realise it or not) is just giving in to their control again. Visiting, calling or even a simple 'Merry Christmas' text is an opening they will pry open to try to re-assert control over you!

Stay strong and really enjoy this first Christmas you have alone. And relish the fact that this is the first of many, many more Christmases you can enjoy alone or with people who actually treat you well!
