Hi, fairly new player here and have spent some money on gems and secondaries. Mainly playing Barb and occasionally BK.

Now I'm at 3k resonance and 6.1k armor penetration. I would say I'm pretty comfortable or even doing not bad at PVE contents (CRDG, HQ, etc).

The rest of the secondaries REALLY suck compared to the 6k armor penetration.

What would be the next secondary to prioritize if I would like to enjoy a little bit of PVP?

Is it viable if I just focus potency now to main armor pen and potency as DPS barb? Or tank barb is the way (armor and resistance)?

Which would be most cost/time efficient?

I purchased a few Orb bundles yesterday, and as far as I can remember, there were no failed transactions or payment issues during the process.

However, today I received a text message from my credit card provider notifying me of another charge for the exact same amount with the same merchant name, even though I did not make an additional purchase.

I then logged into my banking app and confirmed that there is indeed an extra charge of the same amount posted today.

I also checked both my Google Play and Battle.net transaction histories, and both only show my latest purchases from yesterday. There is no record of this additional charge.

After searching Reddit and Google, I found several posts about users being double-charged after failed purchase attempts. The only failed purchase attempts I can recall happened last week, when I tried submitting multiple purchases through Battle.net (not Google Play).

Could this be a case of a duplicate charge?

Feeling much harder to tank through the mobs and bosses with abomination as they hit harder and faster than I can heal, changed back to barb for now.

​

Wondering if any of the new BK essences are good?

​

Saw some players replacing Shroud of Night with the new essence Wave of Blood in the abomination build.

​

Anyone tested in terms of damage and survivability?

Hi I'm a relatively new player and it's currently at 56k CR at 1390 paragon.

Played monk for awhile and then switched to BK which I have almost completed the required essences for various builds (abomination, lance nova, afk, etc..).

Then I feel a little bit bored and wanted to try out Barb which seemingly has an easier healing mechanics(?) and a much more comfortable experience than BK(?)

However, due to lack of essence, I'm currently in a vicious cycle of :

Too weak to clear most dailies due to lack of effective essence set > Not farming enough legendaries for essence > Too weak to farm legendaries due to lack of essences..

Would really want to try at least with the mainstream build to compare the experience against my BK..

Any suggestions?
