I would love to create a new character for this event but I am not going to because I would feel the need to grind out stones for the pet again. Not sure why its designed this way, it was like this for vampiric powers too where you would’ve been forced to click the level up button 1000 times on each new character and everyone said this was horrible design so I am really confused why the seneschal got release like this as well. If the devs do this you can take my money and I will have a blast leveling a new toon next weekend.

In real is pretty easy to lvl to 10 all the stones of your alt. Once you finish your first pet you drop so many rune pieces that you can max a second pet with just a few vaults. Probably it s too easy cause at lvl20 you already have a maxed superpet, i tried it yesterday:/

This game only wants you to play one character 
and for the love of all that is holy, if i already have one unique stone, why did the same stone drop AGAIN? theyre already pitifully rare and allowing double drops is just a slap in the face especially with how hard it is to get a group together to run the long dungeon for such a small chance. 3% to get your first then HALVED once you do because the same one can drop again on the same char. and no, a duplicate doesnt upgrade anything

yeah i kind of just figured this out. i did so many vaults got everything to 10 and did the whole spam random stones from vendor to increase shattered count. I could probably get pretty close to a fully leveled up seneschal on a alt character but only once. But also I have been playing way too much 
and for more casual players it should be account bound imo.
100% agree with you, Strange and Lapse. Make the Seneschal Construct account wide (because there ARE a lot of casual Diablo players) and stop dropping duplicate Unique stones!
I just took my new barb (that I’ve been having a blast with assisting the wife with the campaign) into seasonal and was immediately put off , realizing once I got the Construct, that only the base 3 stones were available and I would have to do the grind ALL OVER AGAIN. I already have 80 - 85% of the stones unlocked on my first character and refuse to be forced to start blank! I hit ALT+F4 so fast … and that’s the last I’ll play today. I guess I’m just using my one character because of this boneheaded setup for Season 3.
What was Blizzard thinking?
At least with season 2 you could use the blood you earned from the previous characters to just about max out your vamp powers. Maybe 3k-4k blood. You could possibly do that with the season 3 shards but it would take a lot more. I get what you’re saying though.
This is not as bad as thought, but I wouldn’t want to make a third seasonal character that’s for sure. I have enough resources on main to level up an alt seneschal but since I made this post I just completely lost interest in playing. There is just no reason to login like there was with AoZ, and gauntlet as it seems now is just going to be about min/maxing speed like doing d3 bounty runs. No reason to prepare for that and I am not interested in participating if that is the case. Build balance will be worse than AoZ
