Fresh Meat N' Greet - Raistrev#1900(1)Category: CrusaderSeptember-2-2014 2:59 PM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
The world of Sanctuary is a BIG place, defended by hundreds of thousands of heroes each and every day. To help you get to know some of these fellow nephalem a little better, we've created the Fresh Meat N' Greet.

The Fresh Meet N' Greet is a recurring series of interviews featuring you, our community. A few times each month, we'll sit down and chat with six different community members, one for each class, and then post our Q&As right here in these forums.

Up this week for Crusaders: Raistrev#1900

Read on below to find out more about your fellow ally in battle!

[GENERAL INFO]

Grimiku: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Raistrev: I'm 32, and a fairly avid gamer. I have used a computer for one reason or another since I was 4. I reinstalled my first OS on to a computer probably in 5th or 6th grade. Rebuilt a pc a few years later, took it apart, cleaned the parts, and put back together. I prefer to build my own desktops rather than buying one at a store or anything. I can do it for less and build a better machine than what you pay for at the store or online. When I am not gaming, I am generally at work, or taking care of my rabbits, the garden, reading, watching a movie, or spending time with my daughter.


Grimiku: Got any cool hobbies or talents?

Raistrev: Dunno if they would be considered "cool"; however, I do raise rabbits, play M:tG, L5R, pen and paper D&D, and other various card games. My daughter comes first though, so when not working and she is not asleep, I am spending time with her.


Grimiku: How long have you been playing Diablo games?

Raistrev: Since first Diablo, and I only missed out on D1's expansion.


Grimiku: What other games are you currently playing right now (if any)?

Raistrev: Pretty much every Blizzard Game. Yes really. Have played World of Warcraft off and on since launch; SC2 since launch, missed SC1 though, and have played Warcraft since Orcs and Humans, and never missed a game or expansion to that. I play hearthstone in streaks here and there.

There are a number of other games that if I had time I would play. Including Ryzom, Age of Empires (have played all but the "MMO" version of that), and just about anything I have sitting on my shelves right now, which is about a bookcase worth of games, and goes back to the Hillsfar time frame.


Grimiku: Do you play any other classes?

Raistrev: Yes, as mentioned earlier I am tormented each night between my Witch Doctor and my Crusader. I do like variety, so I do play all the classes from time to time.


Grimiku: Are you in a great clan or community? If yes, tell us about them!

Raistrev: I would say the clan is okay. Not big, just five of us in it, but we do try to help each other out when we can. Tag of <Death>, actual name is Killer elite (will have to check with the Lead to make sure <.< >.> ….)


Grimiku: What item have you found that you're most proud of?

Raistrev: I would have to say my Thing of the Deep. It rolled so well that even as a Pet Doctor I have such a hard time replacing it.


Grimiku: What's your most embarrassing moment while playing?

Raistrev: Too many to recount… Most recent one would have to be while doing a t3 rift with clan mates. I was having a laugh at them for always getting killed by the Arcane Sentries… Then a few moments later I died to one…


Grimiku: Okay, what about your most AWESOME moment while playing?

Raistrev: Honestly, would have to be when I beat the Campaign for the first time. One of those experiences you don’t really get to repeat. You can beat it again, but never feels the same as the first time. (mind you this was back Pre RoS and in the first week of release)


Grimiku: If you could live in any city in Sanctuary, where would it be?

Raistrev: Uhhh, given the state Sanctuary is in right now… I am almost thinking Hell would be a safer place since everyone from there is invading Sanctuary. But, if I had to pick a city it would likely be Lut Gholein, since basing on the story line is the city least affected by all the madness going on.

[THE CRUSADE MARCHES ON]

Grimiku: What drew you to the Crusader?

Raistrev: I wanted to play something different from what I was playing. I used to play the Monk fairly exclusively, and put some 220+ hours on her. After not getting hardly anything for drops, I figured I would play something else for a change of pace. Crusader was the new kid on the block so, I figured I would give it a whirl. Loved it. Usually have a hard time deciding to play it or my Witch Doctor.


Grimiku: What kind of Crusader are you: do you wade into the thick of battle to crush your foes or call down the wrath of the heavens from afar?

Raistrev: I prefer to wade into the thick of things and bash their heads in.


Grimiku: What's your favorite skill (or skill rune), and why?

Raistrev: Right now, I would have to say is Akarat's Champion with Prophet. So hard to die with it up; I almost have to try to die to get close to dying.


Grimiku: What build are you running currently?

Raistrev: At the moment, I am using a Fire Fist of the Heavens build. Used to run Holy Hammers, but the gear just wouldn't drop to move up in difficulties with it.


Grimiku: If there was one thing you could change about the Crusader, what would it be?

Raistrev: More class Set options.


Grimiku: Name one piece of advice that you think every Crusader should know.

Raistrev: Have fun first, and don't forget to enjoy time away from the computer as well.


Grimiku: What drink do you think your Crusader would order at a bar?

Raistrev: Mead, honey Mead…


Grimiku: Pick a Crusader quote!

Raistrev: "Our eyes are everywhere—in the tallest mountains and the lowest valleys. We go everywhere, and we see everything. We learn from our masters, who walked the lands before us. Our enemies may think we journey alone, but they are mistaken."

[WHO'S NEXT?]

Grimiku: Which Crusader should we interview next?

Raistrev: If you haven't already, I nominate Deadset#2627 or ArtDZ#1930.


Grimiku: Pick a question to ask in the next interview:

Raistrev: "Would you want more vanity pets like the Spectral Hound?"
