I’ve been spending a fair amount of time playing Diablo III recently. It’s the 3rd season, and with every season, there’s always a new build for each class. For the past 3 seasons, I’ve always stuck to playing Demon Hunter and only Demon Hunter. #DHLIFE

I’m super creative with names too.

The build that seems to be the latest hotness is the Natalya’s set. Not only does it do insane damage, but you look super cool doing it. Your DH probably gets super dizzy though…

SPIN TO WIN ISN’T JUST FOR BARBS ANYMORE!

This 3rd season also happens to fall during the 3rd anniversary of Diablo III. HOW PECULIAR. Diablo Life 3 confirmed. 

In honor of their anniversary, I decided to bake up something sweet. It’s something that you could nibble on during your Greater Rift runs. It’s the edible form of Greater Rift Keys!

UNIT COMPOSITION

  5. zest from 1/2 a lemon
  6. 1 1/4 cup of blueberries
  7. 2 eggs
  8. 2 tablespoons of lemon curd

Wanna make it vegan? Substitute 1 banana for the 2 eggs.

Prep time for this recipe takes about 10 minutes. Decorating time is about 10 minutes. Cook time is about 15 minutes. This makes about 10 cookies.

MID GAME

  2. Add it into your batter. This will give the keystones a purple color.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Scoop out golf-ball sized balls from the batter. Shape them to look like keystones.

LATE GAME

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350°.
  2. Using a chopstick or knife, carve out numbers (I choose 3 just because it’s the 3rd anniversary) or infinity symbols.
  3. Place your lemon curd in a ziplock bag. Cut off the end. Pipe the curd into the carvings.

Sanctuary is a scary scary place. You never know what sort of demons are lurking in the shadows! But you know what you can use to scare away demons?

The Bottomless Potion of Fear is the latest addition to the Legendary Potion arsenal. When used, it will fear surrounding enemies. However, one thing I noticed is that this potion looks strangely familiar to açaí juice!

blog_acaismoothie_feared

I love açaí. It has a very interesting taste and I love incorporating it into my daily breakfast. So why not create a delicious smoothie that’s great in the mornings and great while slaying demons in Westmarch?

UNIT COMPOSITION

blog_acaismoothie_ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup of rolled oats
  2. 1/2 tablespoon of raw agave
  3. 1 cup of pineapples
  4. 1 cup of blueberries
  5. 2 cups of açaí berry juice

If you want your smoothie to be icier, use frozen blueberries and pineapples. This recipe is also vegan!

BUILD ORDER

This recipe takes about 7 minutes total to make. This will make 1 serving.

  1. Place your oats in your blender and pour your açaí juice over the oats. Allow the oats to soak up the juice.

  2. Add in your pineapples and blueberries. Blend to combine.
  3. Add in your agave. If this isn’t sweet enough, feel free to add more.
  4. Enjoy!

GG, WP Nephalem!

This recipe is easy, quick, and healthy. You’ll feel refreshed and ready to take on the day… Even if that day includes facing the Lord of Terror.
