Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Thread of Threads
OK so the expansion is looming and I've started playing a bit in between screaming at dota. Figured a playername / game thread might be useful, add your dets if you want to be on the list.

I think the convenience of having primarily English speaking players and being able to see the connected WoW realms for chat still makes NA the winner. SEA might also be quiet and maybe balls up on launch if lots of people log in there.
250 or so MS latency when the servers and my connection and working properly has never been a huge problem for me. |

haven't played for a while and man did I pick a bad night to have a run.
Just did a key run and the key dropped only for it to DC before I could pick it up. I have 5 level 60 toons. my main 2 are my 160k(unbuffed) DPS tank barb and 200k CM wiz (unbuffed) I mainly like doing key/uber runs on MP 8 or 9 depending on the group. HC toon is a 110K DPS tank barb. last edited by Dodgymon at 20:59:07 31/Jan/14 |

Just cleaned out my inventory and gave act 2 inferno a go. Seems pretty manageable now for me (used to be impossible).
Monk ability balance has been changed a fair bit since I last played. The big spirit spenders hit like trucks and defensive abilities don't last very long. |

Serimorph#1604. After a long time of not having access to my Blizzard account I figured I'd try Diablo 3 back out because of the upcoming expansion and all. I hadn't played since well before the paragon levels patch came out so my characters aren't the best geared. Still not quite sure how some people are able to show like 300k dps, unless leveling up paragon to certain levels gives you a flat damage boost.
Dia - 60 monk running MP2 inferno easy enough. might try mp3 at some point. About 65k DPS self buffed. My main for farming items/gold since I found 4 legendaries yesterday, very happy with that. Seoleim - 40 Wizard that I'm currently leveling for upcoming expansion. Running nightmare mp10 to level fast. EDIT: Thanks to Morax, Dodgy, Hoggy and another friend my Lv 40 wizard is now Lv 60, 4 paragon with 90k dps. Not a bad increase for 1 night lol |
02:22pm 04/02/14 Permalink
I got real lucky and managed to get enough drops to make 2 hellfire rings for me and my follower. 70% bonus exp ftw! will make paragon getting that much easier. Going to try some Mp4 inferno runs later and see how good my wizard does. Thinking I might need to drop some DPS to get more HP as I don't think 37k is enough.
|
02:05pm 05/02/14 Permalink
We should get a Crypt run group together.. Takes about 10-20 minutes and can get you 60m xp each fairly easily.
|
03:09pm 05/02/14 Permalink
I'd deffinatly be up for that though as you saw in act 4, I can't hold my own very well in MP10... yet.
EDIT - So I was wondering how wizards will fare come the expansion since I heard something like CM is getting changed or effected? Not sure if it's true or not but I thought well if it is what build will they use now? Then I saw this video. Whatever he is using is amazing but not only that he is showing off the new set bonus for Litany of the Undead and The Wailing Host which is chance to spawn a skeleton when you attack. Skip to 2:30 to see the action start. He quickly gains about 30 - 60 odd skeletons which is epic. I decided to check out the new set bonuses for this and found some amazing changes inna's new p4 set bonus - gain the base effect of all 4 mantras at once immortal kings p4 - call of the ancients last until they die zunimassasa's (WDs set) - fetish army lasts until they die Having all 4 mantras at once (whether for everyone or just you is still kick ass) and Barb and Doctor getting an army that acts as a normal pet is awesome as hell. Seriously looking forward to this now. |

11:32am 25/03/14 Permalink
D3 on consoles is a diff game than PC though, as the viewport and mob density etc are different due to tweaks to make gameplay with a controller work well.
Apparently its a really fun game, shame I don't have a 360. Edit: lemme know if you have HC characters too, will list them in red for hardcoreness. |

Oh s***, thread of threads! Someone tidy up. Updated to here.
ActV was fun, lots of events. Malthael is a motherf*****, tough final boss. Stuck my head into Adventure mode before bed looks like a much better experience than quest grinding from what I've seen. Interestingly once one character completes the full campaign all your alts gain access to adventure mode too, regardless of level. If you hate it then you only really ever need to complete the campaign once. How they thought that the campaign would be a good end game experience is beyond me. |
09:34am 26/03/14 Permalink
Ya we flew through it... lvl 70 wiz 550k dps 3mil toughness . Havent used black hole yet. But apparently it with orb or meteor is the way to go
Did a few bounties and neph rifts on t2. They are cool. Monsters are tough Played in a group of 4 the whole way through so far as well. So much more fun than solo.. I found 3 set items and 10+ leges from when I started at 230 to 10pm finish.. the mystic is so good. Re rolled a few lege items already and found quite a few good yellows... the last boss is nearly like a wow boss encounter. Fair bit harder than any other bosses in d3. On torment anyway. Loving it |
09:35am 26/03/14 Permalink
Oh and if (like me) you're curious about drop rate for Death's Breath (basically, you need a LOT of these f*****s right), straight from the blue mouth (drop rate from rares etc):
Normal - 15% Hard - 18% Expert - 21% Master - 25% Torment 1 - 31% Torment 2 - 37% Torment 3 - 44% Torment 4 - 53% Torment 5 - 64% Torment 6 - 77% |

Hey A well equiped Monk and a Demon Hunter. About to grind level 70 now.
All my good gear is s*** now :(. Longconnery#1908 |
10:44am 26/03/14 Permalink
So, I haven't really played it since it came out, what is this Torment stuff? And what happened to the Normal/Hell/Inferno type difficulties, its different now?
Also, is there a level 60 requirement for Act 5? My brother only ever got his demon hunter to I think level 55 and I'll probably be playing it with him when he gets it, could he jump straight into Act 5 with my wizard? |
11:12am 26/03/14 Permalink
So, I haven't really played it since it came out, what is this Torment stuff? And what happened to the Normal/Hell/Inferno type difficulties, its different now? The skinny: No more completing the game on normal / nightmare etc. That's gone now, you have instead a difficulty level you can set at any time between Normal, Hard, Expert, Master and (once you've completed the whole campaign) the option for one of six Torment difficulties (this is the t1-t6 stuff). There's no more unlocked campaign playthroughs at different levels. The game environments scale to the level of the highest person in it. I think this recently changed from the creator's level. You get more exp and some better chance at drops (like the above stuff) and can only get certain set items now in Torment. So yeh, level 55 ActV is entirely valid if that's what you're up to, and you just choose the difficulty level that suits you. |
11:16am 26/03/14 Permalink
The game environments scale to the level of the highest person in it. I think this recently changed from the creator's level. It tracks the creators level until he is within 3-4 levels of the highest level person, then it switches diff to match that highest person. (This means you can level a toon from 1-40 on Torment 6 in less than half an hour. 4 of us levels each character type using this method. Also, if the creator leaves the game and changes toon, the game stays locked permanently at that level.) Eg: We got the creator to 40 on T6, he then leaves and makes a new toon and rejoins the carriers, but it stays on L40, even if there are no L40s online. This facilicates 1 hits for the carriers, and the person being carried drops their first 15 levels in a matter of seconds. |

Blizzard surprised me and delivered a flawless rollout of the expansion. Act 5 is imo by far the most fun and engaging of them all. I loved the music particularly in the Urzael fight scene(this boss was the best imo). The ending left a bit to be desired tho but all in all Blizzard did well considering the clusterf that happened when the original was launched.

Yeh so far so good, really enjoying it and Adventure Mode does a good job providing structured options for end game. Hopefully its the first step there.

You haven't killed Diablo on your DH? |
11:35am 27/03/14 Permalink
I have, just don't really want to start Act V until I get a 60. I should be able to hit that quickly though, just a matter of finding time between all these games coming out.
|
11:46am 27/03/14 Permalink
I started levelling up a Crusader last night very briefly after I got to level 70 with my wizard. The fact that I can do adventure mode is fantastic, as opposed to trudging through the single player story again.
I would really recommend getting adventure mode unlocked, it's a great way to level after you've done the story stuff. |
11:47am 27/03/14 Permalink
Not sure I'd recommend playing through vanilla campaign though, no wonder you're bored!
No real need to do Act V on a 60+ you'll just annoy yourself grinding and prevent unlocking fun content imo. You can do adventure mode if you've finished Act V at any level, its not a 70-only unlock. |
11:51am 27/03/14 Permalink
Ah might do that then. I've kind of fallen out of favour with my Demon Hunter now after playing Crusader, too "slow".
|
11:54am 27/03/14 Permalink
Ah might do that then. I've kind of fallen out of favour with my Demon Hunter now after playing Crusader, too "slow". Well if you do Act V on your DH on Normal it will unlock Adventure Mode for your Crusader which gives you more options for how you level and makes it all a bit less grindy. If you wanted to keep the story and the body of the act for your Crusader to do fresh, you could always get someone to make a MP game for you at the last quest and just kill Malthael and pretend Act V was still there pristine for your Crusader :D |
12:05pm 27/03/14 Permalink
As Hoggy said, Act 5 on normal and smash the hell out of it. Race the clock basically. - Then restart (on any toon at any level) in adventure mode for fat loots, higher enemy concentrations, quests/bounties, etc etc.
I could help you get any kills you need to facilitate this. As far as I know, each toon still has it's own progression. So finishing the game on a DH doesn't affect what acts you can choose with the Crusader. The only way you can skip any character ahead on content is to join someone elses game, or of course adventure mode. |
12:21pm 27/03/14 Permalink
I disagree. I took my time on act 5 to soak in the crap storyline. struggled through on torment 1 until Adria then dropped it a level. It felt like more of an achievement when I finished.
Then once you've done it once you can smash it again but on a lower difficulty in adventure mode. |

Have a feeling people are playing the crap out of the new expansion and its causing some high queue times. I presume they use a similar system to WoW's dungeon instances, giving each player "quest" a shard on the server.

09:35pm 27/03/14 Permalink
Yeah, I got caught in that. It's pretty f***ed.
I made the mistake of resetting quests before, so I'm not even back to Act V yet (just at the start of III) on my Monk. Dinged into 67 last night and things seem to be quite a bit harder... but I haven't got much in the way of gear upgrades. Besides a few gems and a slightly better weapon, 1 ring and a (Rare) shoulder I haven't upgraded anything. As such Mobs seem to be a lot harder (my gear wasn't exactly awesome.) I was comfortably farming T1 before, T2 if I wanted to be paying attention. But I've had to drop back to Master (And even Expert for Azmodan and some of the B**** packs...) in order to not die/flee on any Elite pack... |

I am f*****g loving this.
Barb is 70, with 550k Hp, 550k Base Damage, 9.5mill toughness (1400 all res) and 30k healing. Absolute dream as a Whirlwind, Rend barb. Up to about Torment 3. Found Thunderfury with a good roll 2nd legendary I got @ 70. Adventure mode is a great end game option. Cant wait to level my wiz from 60 in it. Rerolling turns sub par items into A Grade quality. You can pretty much turn most legendaies / set items into usable upgrades. Some of the perks on Legendaries now are super fun for different builds. 2 Handers still seem a bit weak to me. You should lose survivablity but gain damaged when using them. Because of Dual wielding 1 handers with sockets and crit hit gems, you are never going to do as much damage with 2 handers. |

I've rolled 7 legendary rings, the first 2 being the best ones. :( - One of them has a bonus that lowers the requires gear I need for set bonuses by one. So 1 piece = 2 piece bonus, 3 piece = 4 piece bonus etc. Can you link your toon? Your stats are pretty huge. Trying to see where you get 550k/550k/9.5m/1400/30k when I'm like 410k/200k/7.0m/800/18k and have been picking up a fair bit of s***. Mind you, I haven't looked at cookie cutters even yet, but I was already using whirl+rend. |

So I jumped on last night, had two friends offer to boost me through to Skeleton King on Torment 6, holy craaaaap. Started a level 1 wizard, by the time we killed Skeleton King I was level 43. My screen was literally spewing out levels it was hilarious. So I have a feeling I'll jump on tonight and continue to witchy poo chick which should get me to level 60.

Cant log into it from work, no Authenticator here.
I just made sure to get full sockets on chest and pants. Will Explain rest for you: Chest and Pants - high strength / vit / all res rolls with full sockets, then socketed with Diamonds for mass all res. Boots are High rolls of the same with movements speed. Gloves are legendaries with 700+ strength and trio (Attack Speed, Crit Hit, Crit Dam). Helm is High Strength, Socket and Life Gem. (My Worst Item) Rings are Strength with Trio. Bracers are High Strength with Vit, All res and Crit. Shoulders are High Strength, Vit, Life % (I Think) and Rend Damage Neck is Strength, Vit, Crit Hit and Crit Damage (Only Slot I can Remeber) Main Hand is Thunderfury 2000+ Dmg, High Strength and Vit with a Socket - Emerald in it for Crit Damage. Off Hand is Rare, High Strength and Vit Roll with Socket - Emerald for Crit hit Damage. Belt is Mighty Belt - High Strenth, Vit, All Res and Life on Fury Spent (Absolute Key is Life on Fury Spent) Your Passives are super important. I run: Unforgiving for Fury Gain Superstition for Elemental Dmg Reduction and Fury Gain Bloodthirst for Healing (Life on Fury Spent is KEY) And the New one, that stacks Strength on Enemies touched / killed - For Damage. I think when I am in beserker with Battle Rage and full stacks of strength im about 880k Damage and unkillable. I stuff around with skills and gear combos often to see what works best for me. Never read what i "Should" be doing as a cookie cutter. |
10:21am 28/03/14 Permalink
Thanks defi, I'll check this to what I have when I get home. After using a cookie cutter revolving around hammer I've come to realise this game is more about the playstyle than maths. Just so used to WoW where specific setups are proven to do more damage than others.
Eg: You heal through fury spends, I was healing through LOH - and a friend heals through abilities (eg: whirlwind crits giving heals then stacking crit) - So many ways. |
10:27am 28/03/14 Permalink
Yeah the new changes to abilities have made it far more playthrough orientated rather than just using a cookie cutter. Its great to actually have some choice now and not feel hindered.
|
10:32am 28/03/14 Permalink
Yep, I have a chunk of LOH aswell, but Life on Fury spent gives the biggest bonus when you are whirlwinding. Because I use the fury gaining rune in WW, if I ever get in to trouble, I can just WW out of the pack into open space with full fury and continue to WW draining fury and gaining health.
I did forget to mention, I am about Paragon 150, and have Movement speed Capped at 25% then everything else in strength. Then I have all in Attack Speed, and all Resistance. Final points are in Area Damage, although I do occasionally use Resource reduction, and so I can WW with the Suck in rune. I typically play with a Monk and 2 Wizards, and we hammer through adverture mode double packs and triple packs pretty well on Torment 3. Occasionally we get stuck a bit when we spawn the rift guard at the same time. |
10:48am 28/03/14 Permalink
05:01pm 28/03/14 Permalink
Yeah Life on Fury spent plus overpower with the rune to give fury per mob hit is f*****g op. add rend to that and Berserker and you roll s*** in no time.

Level 53 now on my Wizard, figured I'd level that class as its one I've wanted to play since launch thanks to its sparkly effects. Had some friends run me through Torment 6 with a new character starting it so the difficulty wasn't as high. Was actually the most fun I've had because of just how quickly everything levelled, the exploding effect was just going into overdrive.

mainly playing my 70 wiz atm, have 60's of the others and leveling up a crusader |
10:51pm 29/03/14 Permalink
My wizard is sitting at about 1.05m damage and 7m toughness. My Crusader is only at about 715k damage but from memory has about the same toughness. If I use... whatever that resistance law is it goes up to about 8.5m and i'm mostly in yellows on him. Nephalem Valor spec for crusaders is amazing for group play since you can run 3 stacks of it at all times. It's a huge dps boost i've found. My wizard has kind of been shoehorned into a fire spec since I found a Magefist and Cindercoat the same day. I'd prefer to go back to Arcane Torrent spec because of my Moonlight's amulet but I need better gear for that.

What's the general consensus on the crusader? Really enjoyable to play? I have yet to get RoS but the crusader looked like a lot of fun.

i started one last night she's like level 13 and has been really fun
i don't find really any of the other classes to play that fun apart from the witch doctor but the crusader is easily better for me than the rest |
09:36am 30/03/14 Permalink
Crusader has really high burst, has great tank skills and can support real well. It is my second favourite class to play behind wizard. If you gear crusaders for burst (CH, CD and CDR) they can put out some crazy high chunks of damage while they have a number of skills to seriously reduce damage taken so you can turn yourself into a moving castle if you wanted.

If you go Crusader get the passive the allows you to use a two handed weapon in one hand. The downside to that passive is negligible.

Hey DM, I switched my wiz from f.orb to meteor and even with 0 +fire or +meteor items it's waaaayyy better. The LoH procs a hell of a lot more - feels like oldschool lifesteal. Can't wait to switch up my gear to +fire. Also got myself a level 70 Tal's chest to complete a 4 piece (other pieces are 60 & 61)
check it out :) sucks that the armory doesn't show enchants though My wiz armory |

You lucky bugger Morax. ever since yesterday i've had terrible luck and only had like 4 drops, only 1 of which was any use to me. Yeah meteor hits pretty hard compared to F.Orb and it's even better when your fighting a really big chunky mob and switch to meteor shower since it can get hit more than once. Each one of those little baby meteors hits for about 3.5m for me and sometimes I can get up to 4 to land on 1 enemy so it's pretty great damage.
EDIT - Also My armory for those curious |

The effort for the weekend. Note the set bonuses, I has nothing on Saturday morning. The mats didn't really take that long to farm.
Got another pattern tonight to look into, the 4 set on it was pretty situational and not worth it though. Probably start T4 this week, T3 starting to get walked through. http://i.imgur.com/rxpYtGh.png |

What's the general consensus on the crusader? Really enjoyable to play? I have yet to get RoS but the crusader looked like a lot of fun. I think the general consensus on the forums is that it's underpowered. At the very least, it feels far slower than most other classes, esp when using 2h-er. Having said that, I don't mind it. Though it's kind of annoying because to get a decent spec for torment 1, you can't really afford to have an escape ability and that can get you killed sometimes. If you're looking for a DPS tank, don't bother, roll a barb. If you're looking for a class with lots of 20-30 second cooldowns for big numbers, he's your guy. |

Also is having a lot of magic find still a thing? Not for legendary/set items, and you can only have a max of 300% of it IIRC. You can also only have 300% of Gold Find as well, but there is no cap on your experience gain stats. |

Diablo 3, drop a single set of legendary equipment for just one person on each server, so it's completely unique: Mk 42 Iron Man Suit. ;) Or, drop a new set item (just one item of the set) which has some absolutely OP 2-set bonus.

My username is Viper119#2561 I've been leveling one up, it's nearly 60. For the most part I've been running the following... Justice - Crack on my left click Blessed Hammer - the rune gives you a chance to spawn a new hammer on right click Judgement with the 80% chance to crit rune Jesus Beam (I can't remember the real name) with the rune that leaves a dot on the ground The Aura (Law) that provides Resist all and the breaks CC on use rune. The AOE charge up skill with the rune that sucks bad guys in. Basically run around spamming Hammer, using Justice to regen some Wrath. When you come on an elite pack, hit the charge up AOE to suck s*** in, then just before it goes off, use Judgement and Jesus beam. This means Hammers + AOE + Jesus Beam are all hitting with an 80% crit chance on a pack of stationary mobs. Here's the Link: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/crusader#UeR Swap Righteousness for Holy Strength if using a 2h YMMV |
04:34pm 01/04/14 Permalink
haha jesus beam
whenever i use it i think of the laser special weapon in command and conquer: generals |
04:57pm 01/04/14 Permalink
This is the current build I'm using for my crusader. It's got an instant AoE, judgement for the root/80% crit rate, falling sword for escaping molten/frozen blasts as well as being a 2nd AoE and Ray of doom for added damage. Works quite well with my gear.
Mouse buttons - Smite: Shatter, Fist of the Heavens: Divine well Number keys - Condemn: Unleashed, Judgement: Resolved, Falling Sword: Superheated, Heaven's Fury: Blessed Ground Passives - Divine Fortress, Righteousness, Finery, Heavenly Strength. Nephalem Valor builds are fantastic though for group play, in which case you simply change 1 of any skill to Laws of Valor: Answered Prayer, and at least 1 passive to Long Arm of the Law. This gives you 10 seconds on your law of orb dropping fun, which can be done every 45 seconds. If you also pick the Nephalem Majesty passive you have plenty of time to refresh before the buff runs out. Oh and here is a rather tanky build which I tried out and while slower, I survived so much better in situations that would of otherwise killed me. Mouse buttons - Punish: Roar, Shield Bash: Shattered Shield Number Keys - Akarat's Champion: whatever you like here, but I chose Firestater, Shield Glare: Zealous Glare (epic with shield that turns it into a full AoE), Judgement: Resolved, Bombardment: Impactful Bombardment Passives - Finery, Heavenly Strength, Hold your Ground, Renewal. With that you are doing AoE damage every time you block, as well as healing yourself for like 12k and it's very easy to hit over 50% block rate. Get a good shield and you could hit 70%. Shield Bash was critting for me around 6.5m and if you want your champion to be more of a beast, then changing the rune to Prophet is recommended. I managed to hit 24.5m toughness with that active. |

Well it's technically 3 piece, but I have a set bonus ring. It's a cool setup, but I had a 3pc of one set and a 4pc of another set which were both ruined to get IK onto the toon. Still rolling on craft s*** to fix it all back up. Best part was when I looted my last piece in front of a guy who's been getting uber s*** luck. Not sure if his raging was better than the actual loot.
We'll all get there, but lately I've seen everyone (well, a good 80%) on my friends list spending more time working on alts and idling about than sticking their heads down. I've done about 50-60 hours in the past 7 days alone on the one toon. Anyone who's played a whirlwind barbarian for a long amount of time should understand the pain. Had to triple the mouse sensitivity and rest my wrist on a few teatowels for the past few days. #thosegamerproblems. It's ok though, when I see the look on my physio's face when I tell her I have 4pc IK.. |

Changed to a Witch Doctor as my main. Found Mask of Jeram with 97% pet damage on it. Trying to get Tasker and Theos for the attack speed since I am going for a Fetish build. WD is sitting at 1m damage and 8.7m toughness with about 50% fire damage as well. Fetishes hit from 2.3 - 3.5m each hit haha. Also have a Thing of the Deep, so my Grave Injustice has a 40 yard range on it. In a big enough group I can cut my slam dance/fetish army in half before they wear off.

Forgotten soul drop rate was not increased: We increased the drop rate of unique Legendary crafting materials to be equal to the drop rates of Death's Breath, but the drop rate for Forgotten Souls was not increased since they are a general Legendary crafting material. The unique Legendary crafting materials will still be rarer than Death's Breath, though, since they only drop off of specific monsters. |

Not sure if already posted. A few hotfixes went over over last week which included:
1: Higher (not specified) chance of legendaries from Torment 1-6 runs. 2: Higher (not specified) chance of legendaries from the Blood Shard chick. 3: Higher (25%) chance of legendaries from Rift runs. 4: Fixed issue where you could open horadric caches on T6 and get higher chances, even if you looted it on Normal. A tip for getting faster rift tokens (they'll probably fix this) - Run a public Normal game and split farm all the acts (or at least acts 1-4). No faster way to farm rift coins. If you don't believe me - try it. Everyone split farms by default, you shouldn't even have to message the party at anytime. |

Played until way too late last night, like I'm a goddamn Uni student again. There's a whole bunch of little reasons why but post-RoS it can't be denied that for lots of people d3 has that endless click click addiction we expect from Diablo that it lacked in Vanilla.
On the upside, went from 430 to 840k dmg in a single sitting, so that was nice. 3 piece Zuni acquired, kind of. Look at this S*** http://i.imgur.com/bjmcJy8.png It arrived with 6% resource redux :( Will do for set filler once the 4 set bonus is available but I'll be needing more Zuni to fix this properly... Took 5 enchants (flawless imperial emerald each time!) to get it to there. I'm done with the piece of s*** :p |

Thats cool. Is Fetish Army like my CotA? Because having CotA up 24/7 is f*****g glorious. I'm still working out the best spec I can make because my fury gen is stupidly high. Figured if it's always capped at max, then I could get more dps out of it.
Personally, I picked up a mighty wep which was part of a 2 wep set, then got the other wep less than 30 minutes later haha. Also got the complete rift in 5 minutes achieve. There is a 2 minute one, but the best we could do was 2:40. So f*****g hard, gonna have to cheat it. Do you have a set bonus ring? Wear 3 pieces for 4 piece bonus. |

Ok so I've asked a few people and nobody can give a solid answer.
Riddle me this: Weapon Damage (+1000-1100 Poison Damage, +1000-1100 Fire Damage, etc) Let's say I have a weapon with +1000 Fire Damage, and I use fire spells. Will I do the same effective damage if I were to use the same fire spell, but instead I am holding a +1000 Poison Damage weapon? I'm thinking yes, but I've also seen reference to people wanting 'black damage' weapons - but I'm not sure if that means +1000 damage, or +10% Damage. |
05:55pm 14/04/14 Permalink
10:52pm 14/04/14 Permalink
Ph33x I think black damage has been fixed / removed for modern drops? Yeah but that doesn't help me as I'm still confused on why each weapon has +Fire, or +Poison. Some say it has to do with when you use the weapon, but what about classes like Wizards? Hard to find info because of how short a time it's been for RoS, lots of doco's are still pre 2.0 |
08:38am 15/04/14 Permalink
OK consensus here seems to be that these days it matters because 'physical' skills are converted to your weapon's elemental damage type - possibly only if you use the weapon's animation for the skill:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/11914142180 But if a Physical skill is converted to cold by a skill rune, then its no longer going to roll as fire with a fire weapon, instead the skill's damage type. |

AFAIK the black damage bug has not been fixed. Its my understanding that it was fixed with loot 2.0, they didn't want to f*** with the pre-2.0 economy and cause chaos with weapon values. Lots of blue posts about it being sorted for 2.0 but I can't find anything definitive about it. |

Your weapon might roll affixes:
1200-1600 Damage + 1100-1400 Lightning Damage + 10% Damage + etc Or it might roll: 1200-1600 Damage + 1100-1400 Damage + 10% Damage Normally, the element of bonus damage doesnt make any difference. However the second weapon is better than the first, because the 10% Damage increase only applies to the "1100-1400 Damage" affix (so called black damage), not the "1100-1400 Lightning Damage". So currently, a weapon with black damage is better than one with elemental damage if it has a +%Damage affix. Its assumed (confirmed?) that this was not intended by blizzard. |

Read somewhere that the 'fix' without nerfing old drops was to just stop dropping weapons that have a flat +% dmg affix in Ros / 2.0. I don't have any in my bags, and don't specifically recall seeing one recently. None of my friends I can see quickly have the affix on their weapons; do they still drop? |

Probably worth mentioning for anyone who didn't know already. You can pass legendaries and set items around the group and everyone can unlock the transmog. Maybe not a good idea in pub runs, but in private matches certainly worth it.

Updates, got my cains 2pc for 8% attack speed and my 30% resource reduction cost helm (took a lot of caches). Picked up some Nemesis bracers etc. Not sure why but my gloves are bugged on that page - they are actually 608 int, 10% crit, 6% attack speed, 50% crit damage. Still can't afford decent gems. Sitting on 63% disintegrate and 40% arcane damage now though, pretty neat combined with 60% crit chance and 489% crit damage. Been having a blast playing my 2h maximus fire specced witch doctor too :) |

if you adjust your paragon points to make CC to CD close to 1:10 you will get a bit of a dmg boost. you might prefer CC so you get APOC though. Cheers for the tip, currently I am not running APOC so I stacked my paragon points into crit damage (Only have like 1.2% crit chance from paragon atm) and saw a damage boost. When you say 1:10 are you referring to paragon point allocation? Or are you meaning 40% crit chance to 400% crit damage on paper as the 1:10? I am currently paragon 249. Running the 5% crit chance energy armor and gear basically gives me 60%ish crit chance.

11:25am 17/04/14 Permalink
yeah, so 500% crit dmg and 50% crit rate. or 400% : 40% etc in your overall stats. you can't change your gear as easy as you can your paragon points so you tune your paragon points to get it as close to 10:1 as possible. makes a difference. |
11:27am 17/04/14 Permalink
Yeah I can't change it - I could lose 5% crit by dropping energy armor or changing the rune but that's about it.
Right now I have full crit damage from paragon and like 1.2% (or something) chance from paragon. I guess I could move those points into crit chance across to attack speed instead? That would sit me at like 50% crit chance 483% crit damage or something. Is it that much of a boost to lose 10% crit chance to even it out? Doesn't seem to make much sense :| |

my crusader dps is slightly higher than his ^ but feels comparatively sluggish compared to my wizard, or at least up to the point where my crusader hadn't yet surpassed the wizard. I basically dinged 70 on the wizard and let it rot after starting the crusader so it only has 250k dps or something - but felt like it killed things a s***load faster than my crusader did at ~250k dps |

Legendary Drop Rate Bonuses
Legendary items have a base drop rate which varies greatly between different types of enemies, objects, and clickables. All of those drop rates are boosted by higher difficulty levels, with a special bonus kicking in once players reach Torment 1. There are also numerous set and legendary items that can only drop on Torment 1 and higher, at level 70. Normal: 0% Legendary drop bonus, 25% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Hard: 0% Legendary drop bonus, 25% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Expert: 0% Legendary drop bonus, 25% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Master: 0% Legendary drop bonus, 25% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Torment 1: +15% Legendary drop bonus, +44% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Torment 2: +32% Legendary drop bonus, +65% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Torment 3: +52% Legendary drop bonus, +90% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Torment 4: +75% Legendary drop bonus, +119% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Torment 5: +101% Legendary drop bonus, +151% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. Torment 6: +131% Legendary drop bonus, +189% bonus in Nephalem Rifts. --- I don't believe this includes recent buffs to rifts. |

Is it that much of a boost to lose 10% crit chance to even it out? Doesn't seem to make much sense :|No, its more that if you could give up 5% to gain 50% CHD than you should. ie. 50% CHC 500% CHD > 60% CHC 400% CHD > 50% CHC 400% CHD . The maths is simple to see: 50% CHC 500% CHD = 0.5 x 5.00 = 2.5 60% CHC 400% CHD = 0.6 x 4.00 = 2.4 50% CHC 400% CHD = 0.5 x 4.00 = 2.0 So you can see that the 10:1 ratio gives better result, if you are in the position to exchange 10% CHC for 100% CHD. tldr; Generally CHD is a bit harder to get than CHC, so you should put all your paragon into CHD |

03:16pm 17/04/14 Permalink
Yeah I feel in the long-long term it's got to do with Paragon points. Assuming you're Paragon 800, you have like 3-4 pieces of extra gear worth of hard stats alone. So no matter how good/bad you are geared right now, if you were Paragon 400+ you'd see a marked difference.
Due to this, I'm comfortably doing T3 without worrying about T4+ and carrying as much bonus XP gear as I can, including a helm gem. In a 4 man T3 group I sit at about 890% bonus XP. When the community buff was up, I was seeing over 1100% bonus. |

01:04pm 22/04/14 Permalink
i've been powering through in normal just to get as many caches done as possibly, at one point i had 2 other people helping me by splitting up smashing bounties
i've alternated between saving up like 10 or 15 at a time and opening all of them at once and just opening them as i go, not that that makes any difference but you feel like you're a better chance opening up 15 caches at once haha |
02:18pm 22/04/14 Permalink
Pave, have you tried joining a public normal game? Everyone in pub normal just split farms each act so you end up with 4 caches in about the same time you actually earned yourself one. Just means while you're giving yourself the same chance, you're also giving yourself much more rift frags etc etc. I love opening tons of caches at once. There is a youtube clip where someone had a full stash (all pages) and inv of caches and opened them all. A tad laggy.. Would have lol'd if he disconnected.
I'm after a TF. :< I'd love a cindercoat but kadala is being a right c#@t ... as usual. I spend about 1700 shards then I got one with only 15% fire and other crap rolls. I gemmed it out - then picked up another in a rift about 20 minutes later. I haven't regemmed it yet as I suspect Blizzard is trolling me. :( #firstworldd3gearingproblems |

05:33pm 22/04/14 Permalink
Unfortunately the cache drop rate is apparently not affected by difficulty It should be. You might be mistaken for a recent patch note which now prevents people from opening 'Normal Caches' in a T6 run and getting T6 rolls on the items. The drop rate of a bag is set to the difficulty you picked the cache up from. The good news is you still have a chance, I've had a few legs drop in normal. Still, with the 100% leg buff to rifts, you only want to be doing those when it comes to gearing - and the fastest way to get rift tokens is through normal mode (unless you have 3 mates and you priv T1, which is still fast + gives more xp) Is it the Royal Ring everyone is trying to farm? This should also drop in rifts, and should also be randomly purchasable from shard chick. |
08:49am 23/04/14 Permalink
It should beI certainly could be wrong, but from what I've read caches are the one thing in the game that are not affected by difficulty (other than the chance to have imperial gem). For example this very useful infographic: http://i.imgur.com/VZ7h8Dr.png "Horadric cache drops: not affected by difficulty, bounty exclusive legendaries" The good news is you still have a chanceWhat I'm getting at is (my understanding is) the chance of the cache containing royal ring is exactly the same on normal as it is on torment 6. I've seen an estimate that the "will contain legendary" chance on horadric cache is somewhere around 10% , which feels about right from my experience. I think the reason behind the difficulty making no difference is its supposed to make it possible for ungeared characters to get some initial legendarys; its just unfortunate that a highly sort after legendary is exclusive to horadric cache Is it the Royal Ring everyone is trying to farm? This should also drop in rifts, and should also be randomly purchasable from shard chick.Yes its http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/ring-of-royal-gran |
09:50am 23/04/14 Permalink
Ah, the patch note was this:
Bounty bags now properly ignore Difficulty setting when opened. You can no longer get Imperial Gems or increased gold by opening them on a higher difficulty. So you're right. Ultimately this is even better news, and the only reason you'd want to farm anything but normal mode public games is to get higher xp. If it's only gear, farm the act but help the others finish the other 3 acts, so you end up with 4x caches instead of 1x. This doesn't help for the ring, but once you're done farming bounties for gear, you'll only spend your life doing rift runs, or otherwise farming mats. - I know I'd rather 8x rift frags instead of 2x in 'about' the same amount of time spent. ;) |

Anyone know a warden-safe way to create a macro to swap a gear slot in d3? Last I checked, Autohotkey wasn't blocked with Warden (in WoW). It is for games like BF3/4 though. It's not very user friendly though, all code. I was going to make a script that would change as many slots as you needed, but you'd have to edit the file everytime you want more or less gear changed per trigger. It's certainly doable though. I mainly use AHK for things like Minecraft stuff. Other software might work too, but it needs to manipulate the mouse cursor, most macro keyboards don't support this stuff. ------- I'm very keen to see 2.0.5 because I have 2 of those fire 1h weps (fight through pain, can't remember name). The one I want to upgrade to has +10% damage, +700 strength. Pre-patch I would be changing +Damage to a Socket, but post patch I would change +Str to socket. Sat there staring at it for a good hour trying to find a way to wear new wep now, but alas, it's like 5-8% worse off till 2.0.5. |
02:58pm 28/04/14 Permalink
So your use of the phrase warden safe implies you know that it is against the terms of service and if caught could result in consequences.
But you'd have to use Auto hotkey. Easy enough script to write, you just make sure that the item is in a set location. i, right click at correct location, i. Be aware however that Blizzard have banned people for Autohotkey in the past. |
02:58pm 28/04/14 Permalink
Yeh if auto hotkey is edge-case dodgy then its probably not worth it to save hitting i then right clicking on amulet before diving into range for voodoo. Especially if I keep it in the same inventory slot, muscle memory should kick in.
|
03:18pm 28/04/14 Permalink
I do that for Nemesis Bracers at the moment, have it pretty much down pat and can do it on the run.
Have to be quick, because some people don't like others hitting shrines, it almost seems like they think they'll miss out if they don't hit it personally. Others though, will patiently wait by a shrine and hit their banner to call you over to hit it. |
03:33pm 28/04/14 Permalink
It's only because they can detect it running, if you had a valid use case, and you weren't using it to spam spells you'd probably be fine.
e.g. there were people using macros to endlessly spam certain events where exp (and loot) producing mobs endlessly spawned The other bit is I am not sure how it would go if you were clicking other things at the time. |
03:51pm 28/04/14 Permalink
You just say you use it to create macros in excel and other various things.
The other bit is I am not sure how it would go if you were clicking other things at the time. You tell AHK to ignore mouse input during this time. You also make it check your mouse coords before starting and put the cursor back to the correct place once done. A sequence such as this one would last less than 30 milliseconds. You'd hardly even notice it happen. Now in WoW you have UI built armor sets. You don't even need a macro for that stuff anymore. |

Also, when used appropriately, http://diablo.somepage.com/ is also another good site as it shows you a shapshot of what people overall are using.
Eg, The top 25% of Barbs for softcore elite kills use these bracers: Bracer 1: 17% Bracer 2: 9% Bracer 3: 9% Bracer 4: 8% etc Look for items where the top item (or two) are a great percentage ahead of the rest and look closely as to why they use that item. Some are obvious (Eg, Royal ring + Stone of Justice) but staring at these lists and finding the patterns in skill use/gearing can help guide you as to what stat you should go for next, or what the best item would be to fill a slot for your class (dependant on elementals, etc) This s*** is handy once you're sick of seeing wonder builds on forums, or builds that don't pertain to your play style. After about an hour last week of playing with somepage.diablo - I had a much better understanding of my gearing than I did after like 250 hours worth of barb play. It also shows you the most used skills in the same manner, the most used passives, etc. It shows everything generally in 3 columns. The lower 75% of elite kills, the top 25% of elite kills, and hardcore players. |

10:18am 01/05/14 Permalink
Probably gone through about 2k shards without a Taskers yet.
|
10:34am 01/05/14 Permalink
I have only done 1400 or so shards and have gotten 4 or 5 legs from the gamble.
Most of the legendaries I have had so far have been pretty crap. i.e. Marginally better or worse than a good yellow. A thread where people are trying to work out Kadala legendary rates 2000/100/5 *1.2 - 1.8 ... You certainly are unlucky you should have expected around 5 to 7 legendaries even if you were picking shoulders (low drop rates). |
10:41am 01/05/14 Permalink
I always get the same legendary gloves over and over again. Unfortunately the ones I don't want.
|
10:46am 01/05/14 Permalink
By the way can a legendary drop if you are running around with one already.
e.g. I got a Schaefer's Hammer but it has pretty gimpy stats and no socket. It's still a good weapon, but if I want an upgraded version will I have to put it away ? |
02:09pm 01/05/14 Permalink
Yep. My second Zuni drop after getting a Zuni chest was a worse Zuni chest. Had it happen for a thing of the deep mojo too.
|
02:15pm 01/05/14 Permalink
Yeah. If you have it equipped it can still drop.
Most Leg weapons/rings are unique equip though, so you can have 2 in your inventory but you cant Main hand one and Off hand the other. |
02:24pm 01/05/14 Permalink
Yeah just keep rolling and rolling. Keep the best roll of any gear you have and get rid of it when you find better.
Nothing affects what items will drop, except for your class (smart loot..?..) torment drop rates and rift drop rate bonuses. Except for horadric cache only items, or course. Personally, I've throw every item that just gives stats (if what im wearing is globally superior) and I've only kept items that have some kind of proc, listed as golden text. The reason I keep those items in particular is if they change the way a class should work (eg, more emphasis on thorns/pets/etc) then there is a good chance I have proc legs ready to go for it. There's no need for me to d/e the stuff as I have like 160 forgotten souls - gold being my biggest hurdle. |
02:31pm 01/05/14 Permalink
finally got one of these last night. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/sloraks-madness |
02:46pm 01/05/14 Permalink
I am now the grand master of Barbarians.
I have Earthquake (Earth) gear, mixed in with Immortal Kings set for fulltime COTA (thanks to a pub rand who gave me the IK chest). Don't forget Lut Socks for triple leap. Leap uses a pull-in rune, and I couple that with Strongarm Bracers (+30% global dmg to all units pulled in). S*** is really good, I actually enjoy playing the barb now. It was crappy for the first 200 hours. :) And, I don't think Blizzard will change much about this combination, considering it was revealed they had several devs using this build before RoS was released to the pub. |
01:33pm 04/05/14 Permalink
Yeah it's the second best isn't it? Here's a WD I do privs with. We're about to do some T5.
ABC#1584 - He's got "dot gear" or some s***. 'Gold' baddies in T4 get to about half HP and instadie - that's all I know from this angle lol. As for the page on my desk you were asking about: http://i.imgur.com/VZ7h8Dr.png Edit: Why aren't you on anyways? |
01:46pm 04/05/14 Permalink
Yeh Zuni is #2 bis, I think you basically retire it for Starmetal which has a very similar effect on gameplay (but also you get lots of free Voodoo casts).
I've run with ABC and you before, his profile has his Aughild's in it atm but he's the guy who has the 6 set bonus for Jade Harvester's IIRC. With the right skill set loadout 6 slot JH is basically game breaking DPS ... to the point where I'm a little scared to get excited about JH drops (I have 2 atm, only need 3 more to get 6-set with my royal ring), because I expect it to be nerfed and it would be soul crushing to lose that much DPS. For the WDs here curious: the set bonus for JH works by expending DoTs and dealing all their damage all at once when you Soul Harvest. This even works if the DoTs have the 5 minute duration bonus from Creeping Death - so for Searing Locusts, that's (1480%/8) * 300 => starting at 50,000% damage per soul harvest cast (+ modifiers and you'd cast Haunt as well obviously). Its seriously f***ed up. Edit: Why aren't you on anyways? Because work ... which means sitting here on QGL obviously for some reason instead of getting s*** done and playing vid games (@%# |

Kadala finally put out... with Blackthorns belt...
Spent some time going for RRoG today. Got 3 of those maces, but no ring :/ |
07:15pm 04/05/14 Permalink
the maces are highly useful for doing the runs for that ring in normal you can just blast through packs that get in your way if you get blocked running through
i've stopped looking for the ring until the next patch when the drop rates for the caches match the difficulty you are playing in. at the moment there is no difference between getting caches in normal or torment (apart from the better drop rates while doing the actual bounties themselves), it's all the same drop rate for those leg items from the cache. |
07:36pm 04/05/14 Permalink
Had a pretty good run tonight, found some cool s***. Really f*****g enjoying my crusader at the moment, kind of completely over my wd
for all the f*****g s***house luck i have had trying to find that ring i have had some sweet ass luck when it comes to rerolling single stats on items rarely ever need more than 3 of 4 goes at it. |
09:37pm 04/05/14 Permalink
Fulmi/Odyn means I 1-2 shot every trash mob anywhere near me on normal. Could wait for them to update drop rates, wonder if people will actually do bounties on the higher. Might have to do private runs for it.
When I got bored with RRoG I also got some crafting materials for Auguilds (which will be good for when I get the ring...) Made a pretty decent shoulder but need to get a better bracers. |

Loot rarity weighting has been leaked.
Funnily enough I got a Tasker and Theo on my Crusader ... Str based :( And a lowbee version of Pox Faulds : / |
05:37pm 06/05/14 Permalink
Finally scored a cindercoat off kadala.
Now running an ok amount of cooldown reduction (another 10% would be ideal), removed spirit generators and now I just pop epiphany and spam LTK. Also trying to make more 280 gems. But they are sinking me :( |
10:13am 08/05/14 Permalink
Also trying to make more 280 gems. But they are sinking me :( Pretty expensive eh. I've gotten past upping enough gems (only enough for what I was wearing) and an finally back to 20 mill. How good is cindercoat when you're all fire. Really helps when spamming spenders. |
10:17am 08/05/14 Permalink
It's the difference between requiring a spirit generator and not. Completely changes everything. Anyone know when they are patching? Thought it would be out by now :( |
10:26am 08/05/14 Permalink
Still no ETA from when I was reading about it. I have a +10% Damage weapon ready to go for 2.0.5 when they ... fix the affixes.
|
10:46am 08/05/14 Permalink
Not a bad haul over the last 2 days. Shard of Hate!!!
Also got Blackthorn chest, nothing real special but better than the rare I was wearing... Rerolling that dex into -% Elite Damage Taken, when I get enough crystals. Also popped a SoJ... f***** rolled with DH stat and Cold Skills... Could have rerolled the Cold Skills into Lightning and made it usable, but was Partying with a DH so gave it up to them. Probably better use there. http://i.imgur.com/qmAtDC3.png |
08:28pm 13/05/14 Permalink
My Crusader has 3 of Blackthornes and my DH 2 of ... I assumed it was a common set

08:32pm 13/05/14 Permalink
I have got 3x Boots 2x Pants and a Belt, but this was my first chest. I don't think I'll carry all 4 around for the set bonus, Maybe 2 + RRoG if I ever get that...

09:29pm 13/05/14 Permalink
We learned from the leaked data that legendaries are either common, rare (50% drop rate of common), or unique (10% drop rate of common) |
10:07am 14/05/14 Permalink
So much better out there than than blackthorn. However, 2(3) set Auguilds is used on people who are pulling 4.5 million + elite sheet dps. Can't get much more tank from 2 pieces than that.
|
10:16am 14/05/14 Permalink
Yep shoulder + bracer is commonly found on high end barbs as well.
|
10:51am 14/05/14 Permalink
I run shoulder+bracer aughlids for 3pc with the ring but only cause I like having my prides fall helm and 4pc tals/vyrs from the other slots.
Personally I would rather be using reapers wraps in my bracer slot; but after crafting 24 of them and not having a single useable one for wizard (ie zero have rolled arcane or a decent amount of crit with int+vit) I am pretty over it. Farming Mal sucks. |
10:55am 14/05/14 Permalink
I have Auguilds Shoulder/Bracers. Lots of MNK use that too. Happy with the shoulders, but still crafting for a better Bracers.
|
10:59am 14/05/14 Permalink
Good bracers are Strongarm Bracers. Any(all) enemy pulled/pushed/knocked get 20-30% extra damage taken debuff. Affects the whole group. With a proper setup, you can't globally buff the groups damage this high so easily.
|
11:12am 14/05/14 Permalink
I have some strongarms, not the best roll though. Could give them a run until I get my RRoG.

11:41am 14/05/14 Permalink

Too situational (and I'm a CRD build atm).
Which of you guys are all up to T4/5? The first round of dry ups is happening and I'm keen to keep my friends list populated with actual players. |
01:35pm 14/05/14 Permalink
I meant carry around, as in kept in your inventory (along with Nemesis Bracers). I also keep wraps in my inventory and whatever the destroy object for speed one is called which goes great with conduit pylon. Its a bit annoying at times, but as you say they all have their situational uses.
|
04:00pm 14/05/14 Permalink
Yeah conduit is one of them pylons where you lucky look around at where you're going to go when you click it :>
If you're in a good group and a rift boss is almost up, nobody will click it. The chance of that is low though lol. Lastly, with Nemesis Bracers - I was told early on that those mobs don't drop legs anymore, or it's so severely nerfed that you're wasting your time spawning these adds. I've ran around with the bracers regardless for a month and told my mates to watch out for loot, nobody has seen anything. Anyone gotten loot this way? |
04:10pm 14/05/14 Permalink
Not a huge fan of the new patch, broke my WD and Crusader build.
Built a new 1 hander crusader AS build ... touch as bricks but boring. With no trading and no AH, drop rates are kind of sucky |

oh boy i can only imagine the amount of tears on the bliz forums about the nerfing of akarat's champion
i personally don't think i will bother using it anymore which means i don't need to chase the akkhan set at least, i suspect a few others will be of the same idea. feel sorry for those who found that set. i was kind of waiting for the rally rune to be nerfed because it was so awesome if you used the correct other skills your cooldowns practically disappeared and you could get 2 almost 3 bombardments away in the time it would take to cool down after 1 and just keep spamming skills like phalanx and heavens fury disappointing but not unexpected :( http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/14005211 haha that is so hard to read, so many kids just want a legendary item every time they kill an enemy, diablo 2 was never like that |

12:34pm 15/05/14 Permalink
If it's a powerful kit and you're having fun with it, expect a nerf.
I don't feel too interested in playing this afternoon. What good is it playing for items that take hundreds of hours to farm only to have the goal posts moved around overnight? I have almost every set on my barb - I kept all the gear knowing that Blizz would do this. There's nothing interesting in there that will keep me playing at the moment. Even the extra rift token and blood shard bonus doesn't excite me. Pretty aids considering you only compete against yourself and there is nothing but an advantage for the team that you're in. It was a good month or so - I can hear Eve calling me.. |
12:50pm 15/05/14 Permalink
holy moly Due to the overwhelming popularity of our Anniversary buff we have decided to keep the increased Legendary drop rate once the Anniversary celebration ends. Once the buff is disabled tomorrow morning, you will find that the new base line drop rates for Legendary items will be the same as those you have all enjoyed for the last week. |

I thought the other day it would be fun to try hardcore. About 10 secs after thinking that, I lagged for 2 seconds, became frozen and died.

There is something bugged about Tall man's Finger... my character sheet says 600k dps.

i can feel the nerf hammer coming for the WD, lot of complaints about it being OP on the d3 forums F*****g weak retards. People crying over classes they don't play in a game where you don't directly compete with anyone but yourself. I play with several WD's because of their high damage output. Every pub I join is bland, slow, and boring without lots of damage being thrown out there. If they nerf this one I'll probably quit. Buff everyone else or leave it alone before it gets even more broken, what with the s***** barb leap mechanics now I can't even play on a US server anymore without the spec becoming unplayable. |

Went about bought the expansion on Sunday, and I feel thoroughly ripped off.
Starting at about 2:30pm, by 10pm my previously level 41 character was at 70, and I'd passed the expansion. Attempting to play the game on 'Normal' was just a waste of time even at 42 - I was one-shotting elite packs and hitting for 85k. Only when I put it on the highest level it would let me (Torment doesn't unlock until what, 60?) did it remotely pose a challenge. Edit: And just to be clear, Master didn't pose a challenge. I had to up it to Torment 3 before it started becoming an issue. last edited by Raven at 12:33:39 28/May/14 |

So as the fidgity western society gets bored with D3, I'm finding the best long term way to have good priv games is to add asians. I have 3 so far and they all speak english using caps lock. It must be software they use so they can speak with Chinese text in lowercase and English in uppercase because the item links on their screens are in their language. We worked out how we can ninja each others loot by linking all the loots found and someone else can say #2 meaning they wouldn't mind having your 2nd linked item. Works a treat because they don't know the english translation to it for whatever reason.
Point being, if you want some great games, friend some asians through pubs. In a few months they'll probably be all that's left lol. |

Although I have about 5 unity rings I find just playing T4 using an SoJ + Rorg more efficient on clears. Can smash through mob health on T4 like it's torment1 almost.

Although I have about 5 unity rings I find just playing T4 using an SoJ + Rorg more efficient on clears. Can smash through mob health on T4 like it's torment1 almost. In fairness, Unity is mainly for solo T6 stuff. It's cool, but, for people like me who prefer multi it's kinda useless. Also, you dont need anywhere near as much tank on your toon with this ring. That sounds great and all, but you need to be mindful that multi is much harder if you gear according to Unity without saving old stuff. My T6 farm barb has 140k hp. Works great with Unity and stuns, but in a multi it's extremely glass cannon. A rift guardian will kill me like 8 times before it dies. Most of my mates are playing BF4 now They aren't mates. :( |
