That corner of the jungle was bad news And in my brain I was like, I'll just throw this scepter over there so it's out of the way. Derp.

I had a bad time in the black market. Shopkeeper did not behave as expected.

So rather than riding olmec's head into hole you created, if you had teetered on the edge of the hole as olmec approached he would have stomped and broken the last block.

I generally prefer to save bombs for maximizing score, and generally die early as a result. But sometimes I get a good score. Edit: To explain that a bit more, I'm pretty aware of all the strategies used for maximizing resource conservation. And because I know it *can* be done, most of the time I feel like I should try.

Aaaaaand I'm back to being terrible.

Well, I made it out of the mines for once... and went on to break a million for my 4th time in a daily challenge. Big swings. There was a glitch in the ice caves where I jumped toward a falling platform that was already falling, it fell past me but my guy was hanging in mid air like I was hanging off a ledge. It happens at 27:40ish.

I am having the WORST week.

I know all about slumps. I think it's been a full week since I've made it out of the mines.

I have a friend that runs it without Punishment using the bat companion and vengeance with seethe for on demand hatred, but you find yourself running out of hatred a lot more that way. I have 55% crit now, I think when I first converted to the build i had around 45% crit? Before that I was running the bat companion and relying on Blood Vengeance a lot more. There are other things you can do to reduce the hatred cost of cluster arrow. The most common is using Cindercoat (reduces cost of fire skills by 20-30% depending on your roll). I just got a Pride's Fall last night (reduces resource cost by 30% as long as you haven't taken damage for at least 5 seconds) and I find that the buff on that is up a LOT of the time, which really helps. If you're playing hardcore, the main thing to watch out for is draining too much of your discipline. I like to see that my discipline is mostly full before I use Punishment because I"m terrified I'm going to find myself walled in with arcanes and desecrates without enough discipline to smoke screen myself out of harm's way. Edit: I forgot to mention, if you happen to get a pair of Gloves of Worship, the text on them say "shrines last 10 minutes", but empowered is lasting 60 minutes for some reason. Unclear if this is a bug, but man you can just go to town when you find an empowered shrine.

Yeah I've been selling rares rather than salvaging. I have no shortage of Death's Breath now that all my upgrades require forgotten souls to enchant. Nemesis Bracers help out with farming Death's Breath if it's your limiting reagent. I was pretty lucky and got a good pair early on.

I had a bad time in the spider level.

I did this thing where I climbed to the top of a ladder and tried to drop down and got caught on the ladder platform. I know I've made this mistake before. I'll probably make this mistake again.

My paper doll in-game says 790 if I'm remembering correctly, but I group with some friends that are in the 5-600 range. I'm a cluster arrow dh. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/hammerpants-1729/hero/22299944 Rerolled attributes aren't showing up correctly, so if you see an item that has a silly stat on it, I've probably rerolled it into something useful.

I try to get enough toughness to feel comfortable and maximize my damage with the rest. Had a close call on Torment 2 at 8.8m toughness, got an upgrade that put me at 10m toughness and now I feel like Torment 2 feels pretty good. I have plenty of gold for the enchanting, my limiting factor is forgotten souls. Man do I love enchanting.

That fish got me so good.

Personal preference. I find that most people find a way that works for them and stick with it.

When a falling platform falls on you when you have the jetpack, it causes the jetpack to explode like a bomb.

The last couple days have been pretttttttty awful.

I completely missed the black market

I'm enjoying adventure mode. The blood shard gambling seems underwhelming but there are some legendary rewards that you can only get from the bounty bags that you get for clearing all the bounties in an act that seem pretty nice. I've got my eye on Gloves of Worship and Pauldrons of the Skeleton King. http://diablomandan.com/d3-ros-list-of-bounty-bag-legendary-rewards/ And the rifts are fun. Completely random selection of enemies on a randomly selected map. My favorite map so far looked like the warden's jail from act 1 but was many times larger in both width and height.

Rerolling attributes on gear is My Favorite Thing.

Another double feature. For some reason OBS messed up on both videos and split them into 2 files with a few seconds missing, not sure what's up with that.

I had some trouble with tiki traps today. On one of the jungle levels, I got hit twice by one of them. Luckily I had a ton of health and survived. Then again in the temple I had another tikitastrophe.

Quitting The Last of Us. I was enjoying the storytelling and exploration elements of the game, but I just don't find the combat in this game to be very fun. Truth be told, I stopped playing weeks ago with every intention of coming back to it, but now that we've had some time apart I think we're better off this way.
