Breakfast Topic: How is your Diablo 3 Season 2 going?

My first hardcore seasonal from Season 1 had died to Malthael at level 64 on Master difficulty. This season, I wanted to do better. I’ve been playing casually with DoT builds, so I tried this time to revisit a Sacrifice build involving the Circle of Life passive.

It worked all the way into 70 and beyond, even through killing Malthael. Once I got a few Torment bounties and rifts under my belt, I decided to look for bigger and better builds. The Tall Man’s Finger dropped for me, so I decided to go with that build. Fetishes, voodoo, piranhas, but best of all, the biggest Zombie Dog you’d ever seen.

But, with great power comes…well, you know what happened next. I got greedy. I’d been using Spirit Walk to sprint down hallways and around corners instead of just to escape floor crap. I ran right into this elite champion pack and subsequently got Jailed into a Frozen + Desecrator. Spirit Walk was on cooldown and my beloved Season 2 hardcore Witch Doctor died.

I mourned her for about 5 minutes before I created a new hardcore Witch Doctor — seasonal, again! — and started up a new campaign game. Playing on YOLO mode is a Hell of a lot of fun!

How’s your Diablo III Season 2 going? Are you racking up the leaderboards yet or did you go for casual fun like me?
