I would love a gameplay video of Lon lancer necro (solo) :/ i cleared 100 but i'd need tips and a clear demo to see what you do in a rift, and not only show it in town as you did with the other guide. Thanks in advance, and great video, as always ;)
xStrezz agreed. It’s very difficult to get enough progression just looking for yellows. I’ve been trying on 116. Thinking about trying to kill the triple blues as well, but not sure how efficient it will be.
I’ve run into the problem of finding yellows using my thorns Necro . Seems like my luck is when ever I use my thorns Necro I get the absolute worst possible rifts . 😂
This might be the best Diablo 3 video I have watched of the hundreds. A very real talent for distilling information and presenting it concisely but with precise details. Just fantastic.
This is excellent information for those of us who really enjoy the game that don't know much about it because we're not technically die hards. Much respect
So I'm at 12 mins into the video and just had to stop it to comment... This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen. Great explanations and very well put together. This is a video I'll share with anyone I know that plays D3. Great work !
@@Raxxanterax Raxxanterax For real bro, its sad that d3 is on its end and the next diablo is a mobile game (lol), you make very educational videos and not getting enough recognition that you deserve.
I stumbled across this in my recommendations, and I couldn't be more pleased. Your videos are clear and concise, and the table of contents (with timestamps!) in the description is something that I *deeply* appreciate. I've always resented the rise of video guides over text, mostly because it's so much more difficult to find specific portions, and that helps a lot.
As a new player (in Diablo), this is probably the BEST video I have watched yet. It really, really helped. My wife and I both play, and play together often -- so I'm sharing this with her as well. That explains a lot of the questions we had regarding timing, efficiency and the way in which to progress in the game. Thank you!!
Raxx - I love the way you speak slowly and clearly. It is EXTREMELY helpful that I do not have to wonder what you are saying and go back and listen again. Your guides are by far the best!!
I really love how you break this down into super simple terms for beginners. Getting back into Diablo for the first time since the Auction House was live and have been looking for beginner guides. Thank you for understanding your audience. It is a quality that I feel other Diablo content creators are severely lacking!
Wow you held off long time. I came back in 2015 2017 and now 2021. Loving the followers update. Like man can you image them having set gear to play around with. Welcome back and happy hunting
I have not played Diablo 3 for many years, now due to the Diablo IV Trailers I am in the mood to play Diablo 3 again. Its still very fun to play and I did not know there is so much to do in the endgame. The reason why I write a comment is to tell you, that this is one of the best video game tutorial videos I have ever seen. It is as efficient as the play style you describe. All the facts are there, everything is clear and all the needed information is compressed. This is how all game videos should be.
Hey, Rax, I think you'll get a kick out of this. I got primal monk boots trying to convert them to gloves in the Cube. I was getting pretty angry because they kept rolling up as boots 3 or 4 times in a row. Then suddenly they came up primal boots, which should be impossible. That's when I realized I had accidentally selected the Reforge Legendaries formula by mistake. LOL.
Man I've watched tonnes of end game guides and never have any idea what the heck they're talking about??!! This was the easiest to follow and understand! Thank you.
I am stuck at home because of Covid19. I just started this game a week ago and made a couple friends. I've been tracking my brain on how to get more powerful with no one giving me any real solid answers. THANK YOU for this video!!
I hope you’re having fun Christopher. I read every comment on every video so ask me stuff here or my live stream and I’ll help you. Twitch.tv/raxxanterax
even I know all of this, when I'm listening to you it feels like I know nothing and hear it for the very first time you have a very calm and smooth way to explain things keep up the good work :)
I agree with the fact that "town is lava" but I personally need a few seconds in between rifts for my sanity. If you are like me and get burned out way faster if you just play, play, play, then feel free to take a breather in town every few rifts. You'll want to play more and have more fun and that's what it's all about in the end.
@Will Meyer While I agree with your overall point I must say that it depends on the type of person you are. Some people play games solely for the story/gameplay while others may enjoy story/gameplay a good amount but the main reason they play said game is for the competitive aspect. A good portion of the people that play this genre, in particular, are those that enjoy the end result and satisfaction of knowing they had the stronger will power than most to grind out those power gains over the more casual players. So I don't think going as far as to call them idiots is fair. Even the most casual of players know how much of a pain it is to grind things out when you aren't seeing much of an immediate reward, no matter how much you love the gameplay and the number of breaks you take. That's why most of them quit to begin with.
I have been on and off Diablo 3 and my goal has been for years to solo a GR 70, and I still havent managed it. However I did manage to identify for myself most of the stuff Rax is giving us tips about, except (of course) spending too much time in town and the other one being that Greater Rifts offer much quicker paragon levelling than Nephalem rifts do. I am hoping that this time I will finally manage to beef my character up (Wizard with Vyr set) enough to do a GR70 solo.
@@waltertav Good Luck! It's a good idea to try to get that done so primals start to drop. Honestly, if you just want to get that done, it can easily be accomplished by a lot of builds. I did GR 70 on day 1 this season with my whirlwind barb. Otherwise, just keep at it.
@@NESninja1982 Thanks a lot, I finally managed today!!! So happy. Also I didn't know it gives you immediately a Primal ancient when you finish GR70. This is so cool!
BTW, just wanted to quickly mention, I had no idea how the seasonal gift sets worked until I heard you say you had to claim them and they would then be in the gr mailbox. That helped me out so much. I dont remember which video it was because I've watched so many of yours lately :o) so thanks again for all that you do to help the community
From an old player who's just now coming back and getting into the swing of Seasonal play, this is all super useful stuff to keep in mind. Thanks for creating it.
Thank you for this. Just coming back to diablo after only playing at lvl 60 theres so much new stuff and explaining it so simply helps with everything.
As a player who doesn't have much time to play the game I come back to this once in a while just to give myself the heads up about what to do and what not to do. Best video by far when it comes to trying to find out what to do if you want good gear and paragon levels. I even noticed I forgot to sub, but I did it now anyways. Well done.
A tip for anyone playing on Ps3 co-op. Be careful if you're playing with another person on the same playstation because if you both try to talk to Orek at the same time, you'll break the game and require a restart because it'll open Orek and Kadala's menus on top of each other and it becomes impossible to close either, effectively softlocking your game. So just make sure to appoint one of you (preferably whoever has teleport/blood rush/dashing strike/e.t.c. ) to turn it in. Otherwise you end up having to restart your game 8 times in one day lol!
My man you really hit the nail on the head. Very underrated I must say because I actually seen alot of Videos before where they basicly talk talk talk but new Players have no Idea what exactly people are talking about. You go in very much detail which is the most important rule for Guides and even myself enjoyed watching it. Im playing since D3 launched and you are the first one I really like to watch ;) !
Protip: you can right-click items in your inventory, and it'll move it to the "other" side. Examples: Stash-->Backpack (when stash is open) Backpack-->Worn (when only inventory is open) Backpack-->Cube (when cube is open)
Really outstanding video man. This is as organized as it gets and you speak clearly and talk the perfect amount about each thing. Incredible job man. I’ve played off and on for a while and just jumped back in with a crusader and have been melting stuff with my fist of the heavens valor build. Wanted to take a season seriously for once and I watched 23 minutes straight through and did not click away.
Best place to get the white, yellow, and blue crafting mats is templar level (you get them faster there than anywhere). You loot the weapon/armor racks there to get a ton of white items (some blue/yellows rarely but mostly white) and you end up getting over 100 white parts every 90 seconds or so (just remember to spam spacebar to make the templars stop talking faster). You get more parts per white item then yellow/blue items and you can then convert those white parts into yellow/blue parts using cube. That does require you to have campaign mode act 5 part 3 or higher unlocked but you can usually ask around and find someone who has it. Other than that the second best place is the battlefields of eternity map to loot the decaying armor/weapon piles but you get less mats per minute that way and mobs will attack you (you do not fight at all in the other run). That being said when you do a rift you get gr keys which are more important for end game and therefore are usually better for that reason. Also, a link to the full leveling guide would be nice for those who have disabled the popups but other than that great guide and by far the best one I have found so far.
this is by far one of the best videos for new (and non so new, maybe casual) Diablo III players. you covered everything that's important, sharing this with my friends.
Great guide. I've been playing D3 a long time and I learned a few things. Most importantly, "town is lava"! I'm one of those people who wastes endless minutes in town tweaking, comparing, and toying with my bank. ENOUGH! GET BACK IN THE RING! LOL thanks again for the vid.
Great video man, i have been trying to explain this to my friends so i linked your video instead you speak very clearly and stress the points in a good way, very good video man, liked and shared.
Raxxanterax, I have learned some of things you are explaining the hard way, other things I have caught on. Your video is on point, the simple things you explain early on at the beginning of a season make since, very simple tips to help progression quickly. I often wonder how people get 3k paragon, etc. I havent been playing long but the highest I have achieved is 1200+ in a season. Your tips will help with my progression earlier on, buying more time for me to farm paragon during the season. Great Job! I would encourage anyone new to Diablo 3 or seasonal play to view this first to save time and spare the pain of learning it the hard way.
IF your goal is high paragon and pushing the leader board, there is something he alluded to that is possibly as important if not more to the "town is lava" advice. You gotta group. For the exp. For pushing higher rifts to level gems. For bounties. For 1-70 fast. For everything. I will admit I fit into the casual gamer category on this and very rarely group over a 3-person party. I'm satisfied with getting guardian, finishing a solo rift around 100, have never "fished" for a rift, and usually don't even get to 1k paragon in a season; and that's ok because this game is nicely tailored for people of different play styles as long as you don't set unrealistic expectations. This is a very good video on what you need to expect if you plan on "pushing it" or play with someone who is.
Got recommended these videos yesterday and they are extremely helpful. You explain everything very patiently so I dont have to skip back to actually get what you are saying. Really nice!
Albeit I’ve owned D3 for years, I’ve never taken it seriously until quite recently. Couple of weeks ago, made a Necromancer and pushed it to Paragon 70 before even realizing about seasonal characters… I know I’m a bit late to that party. Watching your guide now as to find a fresh starting point. Thanks for being concise and straightforward! 👊
I wish I would of found this video like 3 weeks ago. Season 20 also my first ever season I've done and I've waisted so much time and resources not knowing what to do. Thanks for this, maybe s21 will be more efficient for me.
i been following rhykker quite well for the past couple years but stumbled upon your channel recently, very glad i did, i enjoy your content a lot, thank you, sir 😊
Just want to say thanks for all your videos. I played this nonstop when it first came out, then stopped after 6 months. Quarantine made me playing it again. Your videos definitely turn me from a newbie to mediocre player in no time. Thanks so much!
Perfect! 100% agree! I also recommend tinkering on the speed version of your greater rift build before the pushing version. Those 2 might have slightly different items! Be sure to augment everything with low levels befor working on a single high level augment
Very thorough guide Rax, took some time to put that all together but the players thank you bro! Even the players that have been playing a long time can learn a few things every now and then.
There are not enough of these videos that explain things in a basic way. Not everyone is a hardcore player and understanding some of the more complicated stuff can be a little much for someone who just hit 70 by grinding the campaign
Started the game as a newbie, about a week ago, Iv done the story as my main, and done maybe 3-4 basic rifts, am now level 63, that’s proof enough that anyone can play and grind a character super quick. Hoping to find a fairly nice enough community once I’m feeling the MP aspect.
I’m extremely late to the party but I’ve been getting into Diablo lately and I’d like to become effective. Thanks a lot for your guide I’ve definitely been learning alot
I read and watch a LOT of your videos and have for quite some time, again, knowledgeable, thorough insightful, most of information I knew but still good to go over basics right before season start. Wish all best of luck for a great Season 21! The Batman
I've got a friend whom I've known since original Diablo (yes, we're THAT old). I'm casual D3 but he's nearly as dedicated as Rax. My buddy gives me excellent advice on builds and stuff, but this video was a great bunch of efficiency tips that I will strive to implement. Might make me less of a drain on his time when we run together. Thank you sir!!
Thank you very much for this video, for your time and for your best explanation, and the conclusion is awesome. You helped me much. Now i understand clearly why many people want to go further and further in greater rifts: to unlock primal weapons. Thank you.
I appreciate your time and effort in providing helpful info such as this. I just soloed my first GR70, alas I'm one of the unfortunates who didn't receive a first primal ancient legendary drop upon completion of that GR70. From your comment at 8:17 - 8:22 I'd had my hopes up.
In short: 1) do not stay at town. 2) Farm grater Rift non-stop. 2.1) Block your time ( farming, salvaging, stash management) 2.2) Regular rifts only for the keys for greater rifts. So be quickly. 3) Do bounty hunt only if you need resources for craft. Otherwise farm Greater Rifts.
So, this is a very clear and consice video, i'm very new to game , as in using my first charecter, i have so many questions. this video def helped clear up stuff. I have wasted mats and time and gold to try getting good things and im level 53, ( i'm an idiot, acknowledged lol ) So basically i have done pretty much everything wrong :) Thanks so much for this.
You are taking all the fun out of this game - I have a lot of fun working on my build sitting in town! Way too hardcore for me, and I played D2 hardcore online for many years. Having said that, your vids are super helpful and very much appreciated.
If you have no buddies to power level you, level up to +21 with neph rifts, don't forget to craft a Hellfire Ring, it has no level requirements and gives +45% XP boost, craft a Hellfire Amulet too if you have mats, it has no lvl req either. Should take a few runs to reach 21'ish. Once there, go craft a Borns set 2 pieces, and a Cains set 2 pieces. Cains helm always comes with a socket. Put a max lvl red gem. Go to your cube, chose royal ring of grandeur for ring slot and leorics crown for armor slot. At this point you should have; 20% from Borns set, 50% from Cains set, 45% from Hellfire Ring and 41% x 2 from helm socket with the cubes boost. This should take a bit longer than an hour to do from 1 to 70.
