Season 31 Necromancer Starter Guide Diablo 3

[@FilthyCasual96]

Second upload of this because I'm a potato! Hope this is useful and sorry there is no gameplay footage/builds, really running out of time before the season starts! Any questions about the video, fire away and either me or another member of the D3 community will help you out. Filthy

[@markjedi24]

Thanks Filthy. First time playing from one season to the next. Any use to salvage items that say they are expiring in 29 days? Can non-season characters make use of these mats at least? Can anything be carried over in Stash for new season?

[@LoFiGamerGurl]

@@markjedi24 The items expiring in 29days are the contents of your seasonal stash. all your season stuff will go to non season chars inbox. from there you can either keep it all on non seasonal for those chars to use or salvage it all for non seasonal to use. Nothing gets carried over into new season. Each season is a 100%% fresh start.

[@ciszaiogien]

You are not "filthy casual" you are just a streamer milking the cow when its popular to do it....... yo should look up ""How Streamers Ruined Gaming "" i have been saying that stuff for couple of years now. Games supposed to be casual, and even you are overdoing it BY FAR. Streamers ruin the entire fun in gaming, there is no difference between players anymore, almost everyone is casually copy-pasting builds n half afk playing, or lemme rephrase that... they are just waiting for boost in town, not even using the chat because nobody cares to actually play the game, theyre just there to leech. Thanks for doing this to the community, its your fault too .

I still havent bought d4 yet even at 50 percent off. Its not ready yet. Keep making d3 content. Thousands of people out there will love it.

[@KathyRose848]

Absolutely agree! I haven't bought D4 yet either. I was tempted by the sale, but I still think it's way too expensive and like you, I don't feel like it's ready yet. So I'm sticking to D3 for the time being.

[@wildpenguintrio1729]

I have both personally I think they are perfect games to play together

[@Hochspitz]

I was gifted D4 before the launch. I also have not made a start.

[@TheMiig1513]

The D4 campaign, the lore, the vibe and the attention to detail is amazing. I'd definitely recommend getting it at a discount if you enjoy those things. But as for the end game, I agree, it's slow, unrewarding and not ready yet. I view it as a play once story type game for now.

[@llowballs]

Why not play both

[@cyndrical2164]

Well I'm starting Necromancer this season since I played pony last and I'm playing classes I have less hours on right now. It's just something I'm doing to make each season feel somewhat fresh and like I'm playing something new. I'll start with LoD Nova and go Inarius for end game. Thanks for the content you pump out Filthy I think I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate you. 😎

[@TheMiig1513]

I'm glad you're still making D3 videos. I played all last season and clearly D3 is still thriving. If blizzard made a new dlc/expansion pack with two new classes, I'm sure they could make a lot of money on D3 still.

[@irgamaizcool]

The way I see save cache vs not save cache is simply how much time you have to play over the weekend. Can you semi no life it and get 15+ hours between launch and tuesday, save it. Can't, use it. You prob wont even get to altar lvl 15

[@Trehek]

Idk, even if you play a lot, you can fit a lot of the important nodes into altar lvl 15. You might miss out on a bit of stats and QoL, but you'll have a lot of room to grow anyway in the first few days. I'll probably try to use the cache and play as much as I can, so I get a feel for how badly I get stuck on the altar. First time I'm doing it that way.

[@zarik6774]

Even if I would only play 1 hour opening weekend I would save the cache, I don't want to have to do the CR another time!

[@Trehek]

@@zarik6774 Challenge Rifts can feel annoying if you don't do them a lot and are not familiar with a lot of set builds, but they're usually really easy. If you know the set in question, they're a breeze!

[@spacechannelfiver]

Last time I played seasonal I just used my challenge rift bag at the start, my playstyle just isn't conduicive with blasting through stuff quickly so waiting for the Tuesday is no big deal. I think it took me two or three weeks to max the altar out and towards the end was at about Torment 110-120 or thereabouts with like 1100 paragon. I''ve played DH, Sorc and Necro to a decent level so will probably try something new this time. I think WD most likely this go.

[@DrFlick86]

Thanks for still putting out content!!!

[@jimmpi]

Usually main DH But Will Try out necro more this season. But What are the best speed-build for necro?

[@Dinosaurd123]

Hey Filthy! How much stronger do you think inarius is in comparison to LOD nova? I don't think inarius will have enough toughness for hardcore.

[@ronaldatkeson5365]

Thanks for the video can’t wait for the season to start.

[@Hochspitz]

I am not going to play this season, at least not to begin with but I really appreciate the work you do for D3. I haven't yet tried D2res, so that's what I am going to do.

[@Operations1000]

Great breakdown thanks Filthy, pumped for necro blasting!

[@Dinosaurd123]

For nayr's you can use the poison rune on nova for manual casting to get the extra stack and still cast the physical blood nova rune when channeling siphon blood. Question though, does nayr's buff all damage or just poison skills?

[@Jaykopson]

Do you also have a guide at maxroll for the starting builds using lod nova? thanks in advance

[@Christian-mf1se]

If you plan on completing the 6 piece journey without opening it on Necro, how & what do you actually play to complete the GR20?

[@FilthyCasual96]

LOD Nova. You'll clear Gr20 with a rank 3/4 LOD gem easy

[@frederikvaholz3410]

Freue mich schon sehr drauf auf den necro

[@Waelly17]

OKAY its TIME im hype

[@Robin92B]

Don't know if missed, but tip at 70 specially for 70 is still mathael kill for reapers wraps =]

[@jacek2300]

Hi, im still between my fav necro and sader

[@IamMonikaDLC]

Here we go! Necrooo time! I don't think many players are realizing just how strong Necro is going to be, it's legit Tal Rasha pre-nerf levels of strong. When we had this theme before almost all necro set/builds were like 15-*50* (yes 50, S20 was before trang ouls before rework aka total trash) GR's behind what they are now. 11 seasons is a LONG time.

[@KathyRose848]

You read my mind! This is just what I was looking for. I do have a question though, is it possible to get a Death's Breath before level 61? Or must I get to level 61 before the game starts dropping them?

[@Vuk350]

Do visions killing elites drops db even if you are under 20 level

[@KathyRose848]

I've just watched yesterday's video again and it looks like you can get a Death's Breath for completing a Bounty run on Torment 1 difficulty. I missed that bit yesterday, sorry Filthy.

[@KathyRose848]

Thank you, I didn't know that. Now I'll just need get strong enough so as not to die when I walk through the portal (which is what usually happens to me :P).

[@AuntLou42]

I'm saving cache. Would it hurt to go get my cube first on normal? Would it make my bounty a little easier to have some levels under me? Or would it make it harder?

[@FilthyCasual96]

It likely makes it harder. Gear would make it easier so a lot of RNG involved

[@Paradox_Grael]

Starting necro and then going to barb.

[@jnminiatures]

Mained Necro for the longest time, excited to blast S31! Will you be streaming season launch, Filthy?

[@iragibson560]

I’m torn between necro start and Wizard start.

[@danielkallis2295]

random thought from today, how well do you all think inarius or trag mage builds will do for speeds this season? i very much dislike LOD. also discord link doesnt work :(

[@FilthyCasual96]

Pretty well, will be squishy but will get a guide out asap

[@wildpenguintrio1729]

Is corpse explosion better than corpse lance? Since corpse lance travells quicker

[@FilthyCasual96]

No, corpse explosion is AoE. Corpse Lance is single target

Sorry but what does ICYMI stand for ?

[@MrSpookShire]

Probably gonna start DH and just speed farm a bunch of mats/paragon, then transfer it all to Necro Edit: Maybe make a zNec/zBarb/zDH as well

Diablo 4 is pay to win d3 for me all day

[@jordankerr1]

How is it pay to win? There isn’t a single component in the game you can buy to get a advantage what a dumb comment

[@DODOC1992]

It looks like you dont want to move forward towards D4 and stayed with dying D3. Seasons are fun, and a lot of people will play for a week, but thats it. At this point there will be no changes to the game, no ballance updates or anything and doing new videos on content that was already done multile times is kind of waste of time. Its no an attack, just my opinion.

[@FilthyCasual96]

I'll keep making D3 content as long as there is a market/audience for it. I think all D3 players would like to move over to D4. The PTR has been fun, so I'm going to give it a good chance in Season 4

[@LimitBreakr424]

@@FilthyCasual96 im sticking w 3 until 5

[@spacechannelfiver]

I prefer 3 to 4, it just feels a bit more of a power fantasy. But 2 never clicked with me.

[@tribaltalker1608]

I was still playing D3 S30 last week, on and off. I get about a six weeks of play from a season. I run two accounts so I get to level up from scratch four times, six if I go permadeath as well. That's DH, Monk, Wiz and sometimes Sader too.

[@cyndrical2164]

@@FilthyCasual96 That maybe true for some but not all mate. I'll be playing Diablo 3 until the end of time or at least until they shut it down and stop releasing seasons. I hope that's not for a long time though 😎

[@rikkwolfe]

sitting on ps4 with no season to play.... wtf?

[@FilthyCasual96]

Console run on US server times, stars in 20 mins I think

[@Destroyreligion-42]

Started today new season, man if I’m honest I like d3 way more than d4… d4 seems kinda to grindy Diablo games need to be fun not work and putting 100s hours in.
