Diablo 3 Season 8 Review

Well Diablo 3 Season 8 just ended and I wanted to give an update to what I did this season.  My original goal for the season was to reach paragon 800 and finish the conqueror seasonal journey.  I ended up completing both of my goals for this season.  I decided to play a witch doctor again to start the season.  I was doing very well, I had no deaths this season and the drop quality was pretty good compared to last season.  Overall, I am very pleased to what I accomplished this season.  I ended up reaching paragon 874 for the season, which puts me in the top 350 of hardcore players in NA.  My witch doctor did a greater rift 79, which put me in rank 73 for all NA hardcore witch doctors.  This is pretty amazing that I reached the top 100, since in season 6, I did the same greater rift 79 but that only put me in rank 104.  I guess there were fewer people playing this season overall.  I wanted to do a greater rift 80 but I kind of ran out of time.  Most of my gear had the Cadelsann's despair of +325 int but I needed to do some more. 

I also made a demon hunter this season just to play something different.  My demon hunter did a greater rift 65, which put me just outside of the top 1000.  I mostly used the demon hunter to do some speed grinding and levelling.  My demon hunter did the Unhallowed Essence build, which is very nice for speed farming but it is tricky to use when doing higher greater rifts.  Compared to last season, this season was much more successful for me.  I ended up playing about 20 more hours than last season but I seemed to accomplish a lot more than last season. 

My overall non-season paragon level now sits at 1188, which is a lot of extra main stat.  After the season ended, I tried to clean up my stash space (it took me a long time to clean it, but it is almost done).  I have very little stash space room so I will probably have to disenchant a lot of gear.  I made my season 8 witch doctor a bit more stronger and I finally did a greater rift 80 for the first time.  Season 9 is going to start on January 6th and I kind of excited about playing this next season.  I am probably going to be playing a different class in the next season because there isn't much motivation to reach conqueror in the seasonal journey since I have all the available stash space already.  I am probably going to try build a Hammerdin build or maybe even try to do a LoN bomb build.
