Grift 29 Cleared by Enchantress
5
Amusing video of a player clearing Greater Rift 29 without firing a shot. All the killing is done by the Enchantress, and yes, it’s a Grift, so it gets done within 15 minutes.

Unlocking Followers in Adventure Mode
A fan asked about unlocking Followers in Adventure Mode and got an answer that surprised me. In Story Mode you unlock them by doing their quests, or advancing beyond their quests if you join someone else’s game. At whatever level you are; as I mentioned in a recent EXP article, I was level 40 with a new Crusader when I finished a single play through of Act One in Story Mode, and didn’t yet have the option to hire the Enchantress since I hadn’t reached her at the start of Act Two.

Diablo 3 Guide: Self Rush to 60 in Just Hours

But what do you do if a friend isn’t willing to give up 3 or 4 hours of play time to kill things for you?

Follower Gear and Respecs
I wasn’t going to news about this Blue post, but as there are new and returning Diablo III players around every day, and you never know what other people know (or don’t know) I think it’s worth a post. I’ve got a whole big post about ideal Follower gear in the works, basically condensing/expanding on the info in this awesome thread, but just for today, here’s the Blue:

Vote: Your Favorite Diablo 3 Follower
We ran a vote about Followers back in September, spurred by some blue posts, but that vote asked how strong you wanted them to be (most fans want them stronger, more like the D2 big-damage style than the D3 buffs-only style) but we haven’t asked which of them you like best.

Blizzard Answers v1.0.5 Questions
Since Patch 1.0.5launched, the Blizzard CMs have been handling a variety of player queries on the Battle.net forums. There are quite a few noob questions, suggesting that lots of people are coming back to the game with the patch (or even starting up from scratch). I figure you guys know most of that stuff already though, so here are some of the more interesting/detailed stuffs, or bug reports.

Blizzard on Maximum Magic Find and Doggy Damage
Every WD player I’ve talked to since v1.0.4 has been very happy with the changes to pets, and thinks the class is now playing as designed. I’ve even heard some suggestions that pets might be OP now. That said, there are still some issues…
