“Stay awhile and listen” Pt.5: Chapter 2&3 complete!

After over coming Adria it was smooth sailing in finishing up chapter 2, and unbeknownst I had already finished all but 2 quests for chapter 3. One quest was defeating the Siege-breaker and the other... Defeating Adria again...

The set bonus from Might of the Earth along with my jewellery ‘cube power reducing damage by 80% after using Leap, I have become unstoppable while these buffs are active. Onto the final chapter to get the full Might of the Earth set.

“Stay awhile and listen” Pt.4: Hit a wall

While chipping away at Chapter 2 one of the quests is to get the ‘cube’ - I decided to complete each act’s bounty lists for crafting mats for said cube. Everything was going smoothly until I had to defeat Adria, I had to switch up my entire play style for this tricky old witch - my Fury builder was switched from ‘Fury’ to ‘Throw weapon’. Even with my stacking legendary Axe that granted Fury to stack up to 10x and my Mighty Belt that gave Fury every Rune available - My right click went from ‘Whirlwind’ to ‘Ancient spear’ both changes purely for the switch from melee to ranged for positioning purposes. Other abilities all were for boosting damage output or ‘oh shit’ defensive skills for when bad blood spawn-ling pathways arose. After quite a few tries I finally bested Adria all for white and blue items.. huzzah!

“Stay awhile and listen” Pt.3: Chapter 1 complete

Chapter One of the seasonal quests is in the books. None of the quests offered much resistance and were almost completed by leveling and all that goes with it.

Kharnath is sitting around level 55 at this point, still wearing pretty mediocre gear. Switched to duel wielding for fury regen rather then damage and 2 or 3 legendary effects from items - The fan of knives proc from the shoulders is a personal favorite at this stage. While I was reading up on what the barbarian set from this season ‘Might of the earth’ does I decided to try stick with, and get comfortable with the skills associated with it - Fury builder, Fury dumper, Leap, Ground Stomp and maybe a shout depending on the gear I was using at the time.

“Stay awhile, and listen” Pt.2: Kharnath the Barbarian

This is Kharnath at level 10. Nothing really of interest to note.. I strung together a 100+ kill combo and got 3 levels for it with the enlightenment shrine active, that was neat I guess. Haven't even looked at the seasonal chapter quests yet. Never ran around with a pet before, this little blood golem from the Necromancer DLC actually collects dropped gold, nice little convenience.

“Stay awhile, and listen” Pt.1: Intro

Season 13 for Diablo 3 has just kicked off and an old family friend has enticed me to fire it up once again. After careful consideration and a bit of reading about the classes and seasonal armor set builds I opted to re-birth my Barbarian, I think my 1st ever character; the family friend would be rolling a Necromancer. Played a bunch of D3 at launch, suckered me again when Reaper of Souls dropped (I was a big Paladin player in Diablo 2) and again when the Necromancer DLC was added (again the bastards using Diablo 2 nostalgia). Other then that I believe I maybe ran season 2, maybe 3?? That’s it. That has been my complete Diablo 3 experience release-wise. In saying that, I feel I had experienced more then I had not with the game. Getting all but the Demon Hunter to level 70 Torment 10. I’ll be adding updates as I progress with the season with screen grabs of my level and gear progression with tib-bits on skills used, progression walls I hit and any other antidotes I can think of. The Cow level is a lie.
