Dive into Diablo 3 Season 12 with these guides from Deadset

If you’re in love with Diablo 3 — or you’re just looking to get started with the latest Season — you should definitely check out this extremely comprehensive guide to Season 12. It highlights the changes and refinements of the latest patch, with build strategies and guides for farming rifts (both Greater and Nephalem), working those bounties, and even completing Conquests for Season 12.

There are a lot of useful guides rounded up here — Deadset has been very active in Diablo 3 guide writing for a while now. Some of the more useful general ones include:

• Beginner’s Guide to Seasons in Diablo 3
• How to farm Bounties efficiently
• Efficient Greater Rift farming
• Guides to Conquests
• What Botting is and why it’s bad for the game

Deadset, the composer of the guide, has gone so far as to create a very handy spreadsheet on the topic of Diablo 3 and what sets and builds you could try —and while I’m linking to it here I won’t even pretend I’ve read it in full yet. To be fair, I play Barbarians and that’s it, but I will admit that I love both the Rend build that uses 6 piece Immortal King/2 piece Wastes and the 6-piece Wastes set Whirlwind build is of course my favorite. he’s also created an hour long video going over this information if you’d rather watch a video than read a guide.

If you’re looking for a guide to how to dip into the new Season, what builds work best for various goals, or just a general overview and refresher for Season 12, Deadset has put together a very useful compendium here. He covers where each build is expected to top out in terms of viability — i.e. how well these builds are expected to do in clearing rifts and climbing the leaderboards. The basic Seasonal Guide is also of use if you’re brand new to the concept of a Season journey. If you’ve already combed Blizzard’s guide to Season 12, this compendium should be of use.
