In our 94th episode, we are down Jen and Lanntonio but fret not as the odd couple of Nevik and Breja hold down the fort. With Season 3 completed, Patch 2.3 deployed, and season 4 just around the corner we get straight to business and talk about what we’ve been up to: Breja finally had Kadala put out and Nevik has No Time for Losers.

In this episode:

PATCH 2.3 IS HERE! As you might imagine we spend a lot of time discussing our experiences with the new patch and run down the major features of it. Are you enjoying Patch 2.3? We sure are; feels like a mini-expansion wouldn’t you say?

If you’re looking to dig more into the Patch 2.3 changes DiabloFans published a comprehensive round up of everything in the patch. Or if you’re just looking for a quick primer, Curse Gaming published a 1 minute video covering the major features.

If you’re looking for more detailed information on a few builds for a variety of classes Deadset Gaming has you covered with a Reddit post linking to his various class guides for Patch 2.3.

With the addition of Torment VII-X Blizzard was kind enough to provide us with the numerical modifiers for the new difficulty levels. There are other modifiers, however, and Diabloii.net published an article with rough estimates as to those values.

If you’re more visually inclined, Reddit user DwarvesAtWork tossed the difficulty modifiers into a handy graph. Wow, that escalated quickly!

Holy Hermit is back with another installment of his yet un-named Diablo III podcast. This time he is joined by Nastuma_Z and Deadset Gaming and they discuss their experiences with the PTR prior to the announcement of when season 3 would end.

Looking to hit 70 as quickly as possible? Blizzpro has an article that provides a bunch pointers to help you accomplish the climb. You can also check out Rhykker’s Youtube video of 18 leveling tips.
