Diablo 3 Season 23 Review

 Well Diablo 3 Season 23 just ended and I ended up having my best season ever.  This season was very fun to play because of the new follower system and the new class set system (which ended up not really mattering to me).  My overall goal was to get the highest greater rift as possible and to finish the Guardian seasonal journey so that I could get the new pet and portrait.  I was really happy with my greater rift finish this season.  I ended up pushing to a greater rift 117, which put me in rank 16 in the NA Hardcore Witch Doctor group.  This was my highest rank ever and I was really surprised that I was able to reach this rank.  I guess there were very few people playing Witch Doctor this season because of all the nerfs that the Witch Doctor got to the Mundunugu's set.  I ended up playing about 118 hours, which is pretty much the normal amount I play in a season.  I was able to reach paragon 1304 (which is the 3rd highest I've reached) and my normal overall paragon now is at 2652.  Also, I managed to finish all the seasonal journey stuff so I got my pet and portrait.  

Season 23 was really easy to begin with because for the Witch Doctor, the starter set is the Helltooth set which very easy to play with.  I did have an early death in the beginning but I didn't lose that much progression because of it.  Even though the Mundunugu set got nerfed a lot, I still think it is the best Witch Doctor set.  I really like playing with Mundunugu set because it is pretty easy to farm with once you get really good gear.  I was able to get most of my gear to an ancient level except for the Ring of Emptiness and the Traveler's Pledge.  All of my ancient gear was augmented to at least rank 100, which gave me plus 500 intelligence each.  I found a real good ancient Gazing Demise which really helped me a lot.  I was really playing consistently throughout the season, I missed playing a couple of days later on because I was so tired from work.  I noticed early that if I could reach greater rift 115, that would really give a good rank for the season.  I pushed really hard at the end of the season and I managed to reach greater rift 115 on the last week of the season.  I wondered if I could push a bit more and I was really surprised that I did.  On the last the season I was able to do a greater rift 117.  

Season 24 is going to start in a few days and I really excited for this new season.  Season 24's theme is on the Diablo 2 ethereal items.  There are going to be new legendary weapons that are custom made and really powerful and only are able to be used for Season 24.  Ethereal items look very cool and I can't wait to find them all.  If you manage to get all ethereal items for all the classes, you get to keep the transmog.  Season 24 is going to be very interesting because soon after Season 24 starts, Diablo 2 Resurrected is going to come out.  I can't wait for this game to come out because I spent a lot of time in the past playing Diablo 2.  Well I hope everyone had a Season 23 and I look forward to playing Season 24.  Hopefully when Diablo 2 Resurrected comes out, I will write a review about it.
