The Diablo 3 Season 28 PTR is underway, and players like myself are busy testing out the strongest builds and theory-crafting the optimum path through the Altar of Rites. The new progression system provides some overpowered buffs that persist throughout the season, so it’s something you’ll want to review whether you’re a hardcore or casual Diablo 3 player. We’ve put together what we believe to be the best Altar of Rites path in Diablo 3 Season 28 if you’re looking to rip through the new season.
Luckily, user Caleko#0049 on the Diablo Discord put together this handy Altar of Rites planner for Diablo 3 Season 28. Players can use this tool to plan out their Altar of Rites offerings. We think the path outlined below is the most efficient in leveling and progressing quickly through the season. The costs for unlocking all the Seals and Legendary Potion Powers are no joke, and they are also subject to change, so we’ll update this section if needed.
