I breezed through The Darkening of Tristam thanks to my Hellfire jewelry. Went from level 1 to 36 in one pass on Master difficulty. (Should have done Torment I guess) Got a Butcher pet.
I was a little disappointed in that most of the old traditional Diablo levels were actually just D3 levels with Diablo textures. Seems as if they rushed to finish it as the first 2-3 levels were pretty detailed but the farther you went along the less the details became and the more re-textured D3 content I saw. It was still fun though and I doubt I would have played D3 again if there wasn’t something different to do so they got me…
I did get a cool helm gem for finishing all 16 levels that is going to kill everything.
Wait. I thought you were poor, but you have nearly 249 million gold.
I assume you have to do the campaign to get into the Tristram level? Or maybe it’s something I missed in Adventure?
I have about 500 Hellfire amulets but no rings. Maybe I can exploit the legendary gem that gives cheaty XP.
Speaking of gems, that new Red Soul thing is interesting, mainly for the secondary perk.
As mentioned on BF, our Tristram sessions have inspired me to start paying attention to my grownup demon hunter. Diablo 3 teaches us that if we ignore a character, his/her gear choices will be minimal; and because D3 is a gear-check game, said character will struggle at higher Torment levels. This was the case with my lvl 70 pew-pew. I am currently improving him by doing reasonable greater rifts to level up gems and get as many drops as I can. Kadala is trying to give me things, but RNG is unkind. I am not discouraged. You have to put in the hours.
I am trying to get back into it but meh… Tristam was refreshing but not sure I am into doing the same random rifts over and over. The pinata escalator isn’t working for me anymore especially when we have pretty much the best items in the game already.
