SEASON 28 NEW NATALYA'S SPIKE TRAPS SPEED 120s @ 800 Paragon / AHK MACRO SETUP [DIABLO 3]
Channel: Juse
Date: 2023-02-02

The "final" season of Diablo 3 starts soon (guessing 3 weeks) with PTR having gone live a day ago and i've been hardcore testing out several variants of the reworked Natalya's set which now revolves around spike traps and is extremely powerful with the lightning rune.

PTR NOTES:
- Prior to this setup I was running 5p Natalyas x 2p Guardians which gave around 10k more dex and was a lot tankier (was seeing 1.1b toughness with evasive fire: hardened) however 5p Natalyas x 2p Captain Crimsons does significantly more damage when you get cooldown reduction on as many items as possible and you won't even need dawn. Also the cooldown you get from shrines & pylons is converted to damage thanks to Captain Crims.

- You can eventually unlock every node on the altar of rites. Some require a bit of gr pushing to sacrifice for, for example 1400 bloodstones, or a staff of herding which is a recipe, you'll need to kill Izual in Act 4 to get your hands on it, although you might have to do this a few times as it's not a guaranteed drop.

- The best gems to run for pure dps are trapped, zeis and taeguk. Trapped can proc off your templar slow, entangling shot: chain gang and zeis stun. Note: I'm only using level 40 gems in the video so you could do a LOT more damage! Entangling shot is also used to proc focus & restraint and wraps of clarity and you can left click an enemy once while holding down right click every few seconds or force use it while strafing if no enemies around (I use spacebar bound to "force stand still" in options, key bindings).

- Strafe is used to insta proc spike traps and does this best compared to other spells like multishot where you gotta cast once to proc and again to detonate.

- Although you can't right click spin to win the whole rift and will run out of hatred, the new altar of rites gives you an insane "potions grant a random shrine or pylon buff on use" so you could get several resource cost management buffs. Potion cd is 30s so you'd get 4 buffs in a 2 min clear ontop of actual pylons. Broken af. You can have infinite buffs active for as long as they last and they get extended if you use gloves of worship on follower meaning they can last 10 mins max. Don't go resource cost reduction on anything, you'll lose too much damage and it's not needed. Ontop of this, I use the inspire on templar which gives increased resource generation, pairs nicely with the +5 hatred on crits node from altar of rites. You can even get power and conduit...

AutoHotkey Setup:

What is AHK?
AutoHotkey is a legal alternative to the numlock trick which I prefer, toggled on and off by the key of your choice to spam as many spells (even the potion which grants a random shrine/pylon effect in s28, if you ceebs pressing it), as the optional script below includes.

First download AHK here: https://www.autohotkey.com/

Copy and paste the below script into a new AHK script on your desktop (right click desktop, NEW, AutoHotkey Script). Name it whatever you want.
Toggle on with F1 and off with F2. I use qwer instead of 1-4 so you'd just need to replace them in the below script!

AUTOHOTKEY SCRIPT (No potion spam, just spells 1-3)

F1::
If (Toggle = "")
{
SetTimer, Loopq, 0
SetTimer, Loopw, 0
SetTimer, Loope, 0
}
Else
Pause
If (Toggle := !Toggle)
{
Gosub, Loopq
Sleep 0
Gosub, Loopw
Sleep 0
Gosub, Loope
Sleep 0
}
return

F2::Reload

Loopq:
Send, q ; Sends q
return
Loopw:
Send, w ; Sends w
return
Loope:
Send, e ; Sends e
return

AUTOHOTKEY SCRIPT (With potion spam (key is set to r but can use whatever) + spells 1-3)

F1::
If (Toggle = "")
{
SetTimer, Loopq, 0
SetTimer, Loopw, 0
SetTimer, Loope, 0
SetTimer, Loopr, 0
}
Else
 Pause
If (Toggle := !Toggle)
{
 Gosub, Loopq
 Sleep 0
 Gosub, Loopw
 Sleep 0
 Gosub, Loope
 Sleep 0
 Gosub, Loopr
 Sleep 0
}
return

F2::Reload

Loopq:
Send, q ; Sends q
return
Loopw:
Send, w ; Sends w
return
Loope:
Send, e ; Sends e
return
Loopr:
Send, r ; Sends r
return

On a side note, if you want to set perfect timers for alternative spells such as shadow power: shadow glide then simply increase the number in the first section "SetTimer, Loopq, 0" to "SetTimer, Loopq, 500" for example (The higher the value, the slower the spam) and keep testing until you find the right value which will depend on your cooldown reduction.
