Platforms and timing boundaries

This season ran on PC/Mac. PS4/Xbox One only received Seasons from Season 10; PS3 and Xbox 360 do not support this season system.

Nintendo Switch had not yet been released in this period.

Calendar dates are archive records, not live spawn calculations. Regional PC launches and the global console start can fall on different German calendar dates; the linked Blizzard announcement supplies the relevant rule.

What this season changes in play

Progress here is shaped by the contemporaneous live patch, new items and changed sets. Later global powers such as LoN, Ethereals or Sanctifications were not active. Dated profiles identify the skills and powers actually available at the time.

Patch changes and historical boundaries

This season spans 2.1.0, 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 from January 2015. Initial Marauder automatic Sentries and Sunwuko decoys are separate from later spender/Pillar versions. This page links both sides of that transition.

Convert the starter set into the target build

Haedrig’s Gift has not been introduced. Collect set bonuses through normal loot and period gambling/crafting routes.

Activate the set bonus actually within reach first and collect its core weapon through Kadala, rare upgrades and Kanai’s Cube where those systems already exist. Do not replace useful pieces before completing the target bonus.

Optimise step by step

  1. Step 1

    Complete the linked profile engine: check six skills, four passives, equipped slots and available Cube powers.

  2. Step 2

    Test resources, protection and buff uptime a few rift tiers below the current limit. Only then reroll toward more offensive stats and test longer boss windows.

  3. Step 3

    Separate farming and pushing: fast elite chains use different gems and cooldown assumptions from long Rift Guardian fights. A source’s rift tier is no performance promise at other Paragon or on another platform.

January 2015: a second historical version

The primary matrix shows each class’s supported dated starting version where available. Additional Marauder 2.1.2 and Sunwuko Pillar profiles belong to the late period after the January update; they are not labelled as August 2014 launch builds.

Evidence and verification boundary

Linked profiles distinguish contemporary author bars, documented patch rules and explicitly added editorial slot repairs. No historical rank-one rating is asserted without an archived benchmark. German and English contain the same information.
