After playing for nearly a week in Reaper of Souls, I've settled into a build that I'm really enjoying. The build is somehwat gear dependent, and while I'd prefer not to promote such types of builds, this one is pretty great if you can acquire at least one of the items. One of the first Legendaries I snagged while out adventuring in Act V was Emimei's Duffel. Upon first … [Read more...]

Barbarian Build: Spin to Win Torment Farming
This barbarian build combines high passive healing with excellent damage for a well-rounded character. You can get in there, take some hits, and do some damage. Is it the highest DPS build out there? No. Is it the best build for survivability? No. It's somewhere in the middle, allowing you to adapt to different enemies with ease. With high life per hit stats on gear, … [Read more...]
Witch Doctor Build: The Zookeeper
The witch doctor is a pretty versatile class, and this fetish build takes advantage of the witch doctor's pets. Every single time you cast Firebats, your basic attack, you have a 5 percent chance to summon fetish sycophants for 60 seconds. These companions hit like a truck and can take a fair number of hits as well, leaving you free to maneuver around the battlefield without … [Read more...]
Wizard Frozen Orb Build for RoS
First it was Demon Hunters. Then it was Barbarians and Monks. Now, Wizards reign at the top of Diablo III's proverbial food chain. And with Reaper of Souls only hours away, it's time to prepare your Wizard for the battle against Death itself. The following build is viable whether you're farming legions of lowly cannon fodder or Malthael himself. It does require that you … [Read more...]
Barbarian Whirlwind Build for RoS
Let's face facts: Barbarians are no longer the harbingers of destruction they once were. But does that mean "spin to win" is no longer a viable farming strategy? Hardly not. If anything, there are now more variations on the fabled Whirlwind build than ever before. Our first build is tailored towards players who have either just hit level 60, or are lacking the necessary gear … [Read more...]
Barbarian Brawling Build
Remember the early days of Diablo III, when Barbarians were considered the most underpowered class? Yes, back in the days when Act II of Vanilla Inferno was actually considered difficult, the outlook for the Barbarian was woeful at best. For many of us, those nights of spawning at the nearest waypoint are distant memories. In fact, today’s Barbarians reign as arguably the most … [Read more...]
Wizard Builds: Regeneration, Melee & Glass Cannon
Considered by many to be among one of the more powerful classes in Diablo III, the Wizard sports a play style designed for ranged attack lovers. Getting the right build to succeed in the game, especially on the intense Inferno difficulty, requires a build that will rapidly strike down opponents while quickly regenerating health due to the strength that your opponents gain at … [Read more...]
Wizard Beats Inferno Solo in 4 Days
European player, Sygodoeden, blasted through Inferno just four days after the game's release. This is nuts, considering Blizzard's claims of how ridiculously hard Inferno mode was going to be, along with their prediction of it taking even the best of players MONTHS to complete it. Kudos to Danish gamer Sygodoeden for proving them wrong in at least one regard. I wonder...how … [Read more...]
