News: Season 16 Haedrig's Gift

[BoondockEOD]

Season 15 is due to end around 16 December, which will put the start of Season 16 sometime around the end of the year or early next year. With that if the rotation stays the same here are the sets for Season 16 gifts.

• Barbarian – Immortal Kings Call
• Crusader – Seeker of the Light
• Demon Hunter – Natalya’s Vengeance
• Monk – Uliana’s Stratagem
• Necromancer – Trag’Oul’s Avatar
• Witch Doctor – Spirit of Arachyr
• Wizard – Vyr’s Amazing Arcana

Out of these sets, currently the top 2 will be WD and Barb, although to caveat that there are new PTR changes happening that may impact the top builds. We will have to wait and see what comes out in the wash.

I guess Uliana's is OK for T13 farming and like you said we might have changes to builds.

 

[BoondockEOD]

Yeah that's why I am not updating the builds today like I planned. There is gonna be a lot of changes after the PTR so I will update them after that.

Should be a interesting season.

is Seaosn 16 rely to get that Diff compraed to the other ones Blizz is just to slow and layz to do the big things i mean sure its ok and logical not to add to much ervy seaosn so you have a bit of time between big change that may be hard to blance or adaped to

but th cocnet you ahve in the game is just to low there is no real endgame concet ist just grindingto the pure perfeckt gear that is hard and time intesinv in ist self but give you not that much in return at least i fell that way

also there is to low amount of tweaking and bug fixing the classes withc i mean skills and all stuff Sharpshooter is sill the Spageti code it is since seaosn 1 it feels like its the D3 version of Mordekasier form Leauge .. blizz just do not enouth to make more builds fun and vaible ..

thery could do something like leuage did wiht thery Rune Reforgde and overhaul the compclte skills of ech class remove some and add new one sot make the game fell fresh and also help keeping interstetin the game i mean we are in seaosn 16 so why not do things like this

[whitelord321]

I see.

 

[BoondockEOD]

So Season 16 is supposed to help shake up the current meta and to bring a lot of the class sets into a much closer range with each other.

As for content and pretty much everything else you mentioned, Diablo is an ARPG, the entire point of the Genre is to grind for better gear and do harder content. There has yet to be a solo GR 150 to my knowledge so there is still harder content out there.

Tweaking and bug fixes have been complained about forever, this is the first season they have done much. Then again Diablo is now a classic game so how much do you expect.

 

[Entropian1960]

Looking forward to season 16 with different meta being possible.. the closer we get to end of PTR we'll see what changes stick and which get changed up.. now dreaming of the builds to play ...

 

[nicnack]

I have no idea about the changes or what the theme for next season will be, but assuming nothing significant, I will likely go with the Barb and/or Crusader.

I think most people tend to forget that the whole point of the ARPG genre is the forever grind to find the perfect gear, many may see blizzard as being lazy or not caring but I can tell you from working at a company who has to please a stock shareholder base it is not an easy as just do this and it will be good. People get fired or replaced and that tends to change the dynamics of what you may have been working towards for a long time. If you enjoy the game you will enjoy it, if you are looking for things to drastically change I would suggest going to play POE/Epoch or one of the newer companies that can be experimental with their products.. I love I can enter D3 and kill some stuff and then leave a little better off then I entered

If I want something more intense or complex then I play other titles or even genres for that matter, like warframe and the Division/destiny2
