So that's kinda different. Every once in a while, colors change and things go batshit for a while. Folks on the net have been whining about this season since before the season even started. I don't care. I think it's interesting that Blizzard continues to devote any resources at all to this game, and I'm grateful for whatever I can get. And I'm amused at the reactions on the net, so that's a plus. Yeah, it's silly and distracting, but I still gotta give them credit for trying out different things.
Anyway, I got a chance to check out that new DH set after the patch, and yeah, it's another "cruise around really fast and destroy everything" kinda build, but whatever, I kinda liked it and would like to see how far I can go with it. I started a DH, and man she hit the 60's Slog hard. Worst I've had in a while, it felt like absolutely torture. Then at 67, she got a couple of great drops in short succession. The Crossbow which cranks up Rapid Fire to insane levels (she happened to be using Rapid Fire at the time), Dawn which cuts your Vengeance cooldown by 2/3, and just for fun, an Obsidian Ring. So the last few levels flew by, and the first drop once she made 70 was the Quiver which removes Rapid Fire cost. Sure, why not? I put together a pretty fun Rapid Fire build a few Seasons ago, and things seemed to be pointing that way for right now. Second gem to drop was Legacy of Dreams, another piece which fit with the Rapid Fire build since there isn't a set for it.
I haven't even bothered finishing the Season Journey because honestly, I don't really care for the Shadow/Impale build. At some point I'll end up finishing it anyway, so no biggie. For now, I'm gonna keep cruising with the Rapid Fire. By the time that tops out (I think last time things started getting really tough around 80 or 85), I should have at least one or two sets/builds to choose from.
