Anointed is mostly valuable during the leveling process, whereas Mirror as long-term value. Fortunately, you only have three to chose from. Think about how hard you’re going to be blasting this first weekend and if you have any leaderboard goals, then make the call.Īs previously noted, you won’t unlock more than the first two nodes before level 70. If you’re a solo player, you can either save the cache (slowing down your leveling a bit) to unlock as much of the Altar as possible or wait until Monday (a whopping three days) before unlocking more than 14 nodes. Will you save your Challenge Rift cache to unlock your 15th node, or open it for the early gear investments for yourself? If you’re in a group, you may have an agreement with an EU friend to craft you some Rare 70 gear from their NA cache (as you will do for them).
You have a big choice to make right at the onset, before you even touch the altar. Be very careful and deliberate when you’re making choices. And you’re just going to destroy it, to power the altar.įirst, and probably most importantly - there is no respeccing the altar! Once you chose a node, it’s unlocked. The Staff of Herding alone is a huge time investment. Starting out, it’s small - a few resources we’ll have loads of within the first few weeks. Now we have a node for pets to pick up Death’s Breaths, and another in the same tier for pets to pick up and salvage common (white), magic (blue), and rare (yellow) items, sparing you slowing down for 95% of your drops and preserving your bag space for much longer than has shown up previously in Diablo.īut to achieve these miraculous boons, in classic Diablo way, we have to sacrifice. For example, the community has wanted pets to pick up more than gold for… well, a while. All these node choices are valuable because they mean stacked bonuses, or one less gear choice. Paragon points grant up to 25% movement speed. Doubling the amount of Death’s Breaths that drop is the bonus from the Sage’s set. You may have noticed some of the Altar nodes are familiar. Here are a slew of tips, tricks, and notes from our PTR testing to get you going. There will be a lot to keep in mind for completing the Altar, but it’s worth it for the amazing wings cosmetic at the end of the tree. If the new filters do carry over to the archived leaderboards, you can bet that more players will be competing to be the best at their preferred builds each Season.Diablo 3 Season 28: Rites of Sanctuary underway and introduced the Altar of Rites to New Tristram, which grants powerful (account-wide) boons - but with a price.
The PTR notes do not state whether these filters will only be usable during a Season, or if they will carry over to the official Diablo 3 website where the leaderboards are archived after each Season wraps up. This new filter is a great first step towards making Solo Greater Rifts more enjoyable with each Season and could even push players to be more competitive.
RELATED: Why Some Blizzard Fans Think Diablo 2 Is Better Than 3 There still may be one meta build that is more powerful than others for solo play but allowing for filtering by different sets allows for a different experience, and more importantly, a different type of goal setting every few months.
Whereas until now it might not have seemed worthwhile to focus on non-meta builds, now you could strive to be the best player in a region using other set bonuses. This change to filters should help profoundly change how you view personal goals in each Season. You might spot the odd Multishot build, but these would have been outliers at the highest ranks of play. If you have played a Hardcore Seasonal Demon Hunter in the last year, for example, you may have looked at the Solo leaderboards for several seasons only to find the top few hundred spots all using virtually identical Impale builds. This should come as no surprise to Diablo 3 veterans.
