Sæson 16 er extended og slutter nu først den 12. maj 2019.

Grunden er ifølge Blizzard, at de ikke er færdige med at teste sæson 17's theme.
Så længden blev lige fordoblet fra 2 til 4 måneder.

Hej folkens!

Jeg snublede over nedenstående post fra DFans, hvor der er nogle interessante svar fra D3 Devs. Om det er legit vides ikke, så tag det med et gran salt. Såfremt den er god nok, lever håbet måske endnu!



Afternoon Guys,

Wanted to give you some thoughts I had from Blizzcon with my 3 friends who are all HUGE Diablo fans,

1st. Disappointment- This being the 3rd Blizzcon we've attending we had HIGH hopes for Diablo since it was the 20th anniversary and literally had no showing the past 2 years. Instead of the minimum we'd thought we get which was a D3 expansion we received a character pack. All signs point to this all being from a scraped expansion, that being said the Necro felt so crappy its like this was developed 2 months ago.

2nd. Shock- During the opening ceremony we all were counting down till they spoke about Diablo, and when they did we thought they were trolling us the entire time. Recreating Diablo 1 in a rift...pixelation...old movement...? No way was this real but it was...

3rd. Hope- Speaking with the Developers I asked them directly if they knew this was a slap in the face to their fans by selling us a character pack that seemed to be from a scrapped expansion. The developers all had a response that seemed like they knew, but a the same time something big was happening behind the scenes, This gives me hope they they understand in D3's state it was to broken and they've moved onto D4.

Questions we asked.
1. So it looks like their was a scrapped expansion, does this mean D4 is being worked on? A. In a very sarcastic tone "Whyyy would you think this new content is from a scrapped expansion..small smile ?"

2. How big is the Diablo team? A. "Dont think I could answer that without getting fired..smile."

3. Great, you gave us an armory that can hold 5 builds, does that mean we will have more than 2 viable builds? A. "We are working on more combinations of builds that dont rely on sets, but they all wont be high GR viable"

4. So we are assuming big things are happening behind the scenes, does that mean Diablo 4 is in the works since there is a new game director who has not been announced? A. "uhhhhh,,.pause...are you trying to get me fired!..laugh..smile"

5. Blizz employees asked us how we were enjoying Blizzcon. Our answer "We're not, Diablo got screwed again" . Their response " Yay..we are not a fan on how long it will take to get the character pack either. Our response " Character pack is a slap in the face to us fans, we wanted at least an expansion or D2 remastered. Their response " We agree! "

So take it as you will, but all the developers basically all felt the same way, they knew this announcement was not going to make us happy. They all seemed to feel the same way, but it seems there is something big in the works which would explain no HUGE announcements as my guess is D4 probably was not even ready to be announced since it seemed they scraped a D3 expansion.

I won't be attending blizzcon next year as it seems they're making way to big of a deal about esports and less about their games.
Hoping things change, but I would not expect anything Diablo related for a few more years.

Let me know if you guys have any questions!

Hej gutter (og gutinder) !

Nedenfor har jeg skrevet, hvilke builds der lige nu er 'det nye sort' for hver class, samt lidt om grupper. Al information har jeg taget direkte fra ptr leaderboards, både season og non-season.

Da der stadig testes på livet løs, kan nye variationer godt titte frem, inden patch 2.4 rammer om knap en uge. Husk også, at der nødvendigvis ikke pushes max på ptr, så diverse sæts max GR potentiale er muligvis højere. Denne kompilation er blot for at give et nogenlunde overblik over nuværende meta.

Jeg har udeladt t10 speedfarm builds, da der simpelthen er alt for mange mulige setups. Men kan nævne, at da crusaders endelig har fået et nyt mini-sæt til speedfarming (pony flail+shield), har alle classes et speedfarm build! Nogle er naturligvis hurtigere end andre.


Jeg skal prøve at holde listen opdateret.

Opdatering 080116

Fandt lige den her guide til 2.4 på Diablofans. Den er faktisk fyldt med en masse brugbare informationer.
 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sdWUjBqrnXc4nMTvc9G0onHCL1WY6XsF-avLsYOrmOM/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true


Opdatering 090116

Flere classes har pushet højere, bl.a. Wizard med en 88 og er klart i spidsen.

Derudover har 2 Barbarians (zDPS + IK/Raekor) taget førstepladsen i 2-man med en 89'er. Den bracket er virkelig åben (lige indtil en gal kineser finder på genialiteter).

Opdateret grupper med top clears.

Opdatering 110116

Opdateret diverse classes GR clears. Wizard er stadig i toppen med 88.

Når man tager et kig ned over listen, ligner det, at både monks og dh's halter lidt efter. Men husk at de classes muligvis bare ikke har pushet så meget som dem i toppen.

Spil det du har lyst til! ^^

Da PTR tages ned senere i dag, kommer der nok ikke flere opdateringer. Vi ses til seasonstart

_______________________________________________________________________

For nemheds skyld, har jeg brugt følgende forkortelser:

LoN = Legacy og Nightmares (The Wailing Host + Litany of the Undaunted)
EW = Endless Walk (The Compass Rose + Traveler's Pledge)
BoW = Bastions of Will (Focus + Restraint)


_______________________________________________________________________


Wizard

• Delsere's Magnum Opus + EW (Arcane Orb variation) [GR 88]
• Delsere's Magnum Opus + EW (Energy Twister variation) [GR 86]
• Tal Rasha's Relentless Pursuit + BoW [GR 80]

Stort set alle i top100 på både season og non-season er Delsere's. Kun ca. 1/100 er Tal Rasha's. I starten af ptr var Firebird i toppen [GR 110+], men efter nerfen er det sæt helt røget ud.

_______________________________________________________________________


Witch Doctor

• LoN (Firebats variation) [GR 84]
• LoN (DoD variation) [GR 83 ]
• Helltooth + EW (pet variation) [GR 81]
• Raiment of the Jade Harvester + EW [GR 78]

Selvom Jade ikke er super repræsenteret, er jeg sikker på det kan pushe længere end 78. Husk at folk på ptr eksperimenterer med nye builds hele tiden.

_______________________________________________________________________


Demon Hunter

• LoN (Fan of Knives variation) [GR 81]
• Embodiment of the Marauder + BoW [GR 81]
• The Shadow's Mantle + BoW [GR 80]
• Unhallowed Essence + BoW [GR 80]
• Natalya's Vengeance + BoW [GR 80]

Det lader til at DH's denne gang har et stort udvalg. Husk dog på, at det er svært at geare til et LoN build.
Det kan også nævnes, at Philos (kendt DH) mener det vil være nemmest at progresse i starten med Marauder's.

_______________________________________________________________________


Crusader

• LoN (Bombardment variation) [GR 87]
• Thorns of the Invoker + EW [GR 85]
• Rolands Legacy + EW (Sweep variation) [GR 83]
• Seeker of the Light + EW [GR 82]

Også Crusaders har flere muligheder, da både Roland's og Seeker er blevet buffet. Desværre er Akkhan's ikke 'on par' med de andre. Dette skyldes primært, at man stadig skal geare til cdr på alle dele for at have permanemt Akarat's Champion, hvilket gimper en rigtig meget toughness-wise.
Naturligvis presser flest på ptr med Invoker's og LoN, da det er de nye sæt, men meget kan ske i løbet af sæsonen.

_______________________________________________________________________


Monk

• LoN (Exploding Palm/Tempest Rush variation [GR 83]
• Inna's Mantra + Rainment of Thousand Storms + Shenlong's Spirit - EW [GR 82]
• Inna's Mantra + Rainment of Thousand Storms + EW [GR 81]
• Inna's Mantra + BoW [GR 78]

For Monks ser det umiddelbart ud til, at de ligesom Wizards er lidt begrænsede i deres udvalg. Inna's dominerer totalt, dog med rigtig mange forskellige variationer.

_______________________________________________________________________


Barbarian

• Immortal King's Call (6) + The Legacy of Raekor (4) + BoW [GR 86]
• Might of the Earth + BoW [GR 82]
• The Legacy of Raekor (6) + Immortal King's Call (4) + BOW [GR 80]

Det lader til Barbarians har 2 gode builds at lege med på solo. Grunden til IK/Raekor er så langt foran på ptr, er at Chainer har pushet meget den sidste uges tid. I virkeligheden tror jeg ikke forskellen er så stor som vist her.

_______________________________________________________________________


4-man

Jeg har hurtigt kigget på top100, og dette lader til at være nuværende trend. Som skrevet tidligere, tester folk stadig og meget kan ændres. Og ligesom vi så i season 4, kan vi igen se et mid-season meta shift. Derudover venter de store guilds ofte med af afsløre deres setups til sæsonen er startet, så forvent ændringer og tag nedenstående med et gran salt.

HUSK dette ikke nødvendigvis er det bedste speedfarm setup. Det er taget direkte fra leaderboards.

Det eneste spot der er garanteret er zDPS Barbarian. Ignore Pain er simpelthen for værdifuld, især da healing monks er blevet ramt hårdt af nerfbattet.

De fleste i top100 kører med: support Barb, support WD, 2x dps (DH, WD, Wiz)

Top Clear: 92 på 14:51
[Barb (support) + Wizard (Delsere's/Twister) + WD (LoN DoD) + WD (Support)]

Support:

• Barbarian (4x WotW, BK weaps)
• Witch Doctor (4x Helltooth, SMK)
• Crusader (Roland's Sweep)

Som damage dealers er følgende meget brugt:

• Witch Doctor (LoN Firebats eller LoN DoD)
• Wizard (Delsere's / Energy Twister variation)
• Demon Hunter (Shadow's Mantle)

Crusaders og Monks er ikke brugt ret meget som dps, men følgende builds er repræsenteret.

• Crusader (LoN Blessed Shield)
• Monk (Inna's)

2-man & 3-man


Jeg vil ikke gå så meget i detaljer med 2-man og 3-man, da der er så mange forskellige variationer på ptr lige nu. Desuden vil hele gruppedelen formentlig ændre sig hurtigt, når sæsonen starter og nye gimmicks popper frem.

2-man
Dog kan jeg kort nævne, at i 2-man er zDPS barb + IK/Raekor barb nr. 1, men langt flere kører ligeså højt med zDPS barb+Wiz, zDPS barb+WD samt Monk+Crusader.
Man ser ikke ret mange DH's i 2-man.

Top Clear: 89 på 14:41
[Barb (support) + Barb (IK/Raekor)]

Fordeling lige nu: Barbarian>Wizard>Crusader=WitchDoc>Monk>DemonHunter


3-man
I 3-man kører alle med zDPS barb og ligesom i 4-man er DH/Wiz/WD meget brugt på de resterende pladser. Men man kan også sporadisk finde Crusader og Monk.

Top Clear: 91 på 14:04
[Barb (support) + Wizard (Delsere's/Twister) + DH (Shadow's Mantle)]

Fordeling lige nu: Barbarian>Wizard>WitchDoc=DemonHunter>Crusader>Monk


Jeg håber I glæder Jer lige så meget til season 5 som jeg gør, og håber at se Jer alle den 15. januar
