Sorry for stupid question, haven't been playing the expansion much (time constraints). I just got a char up to 60, I presume I need to get to 70 before I start earning Paragon levels?
Yep.

Yeah I can immediately spot some problems with your gear. The initial impression I get is that it's schizophrenic as hell; as if you have no idea what exactly you're looking for in terms of stats or you want a little bit of everything.
You have to look at item slots as stat potentials, don't focus too much on the legendary status. For example, your quiver has absolutely no critical hit chance on it. That, to me, is absolutely unacceptable as a Quiver is one of the easiest slots to get at least 8% or more CC. It wouldn't be difficult to find a rare Quiver that is much better than your current Legendary.
The same goes for both of your rings. Neither of them have critical hit chance or damage, which severely limits your damage potential. In fact, your total critical hit chance is 19.5% which is extremely low; you should be aiming at 40%+. Stacking Attack Speed is not going to work when your damage output is low to begin with.
I wouldn't agree with increasing your toughness. It's perfectly fine for T1, you probably just find yourself dying often because you don't have the damage to kill elites fast enough and they're wailing on you the entire time.
Add me in-game if you need some advice with gear or whatever, I'm playing quite a bit these days so I'll be on often: Renegade#1197
When playing solo, it seems like Master is right when the game goes from being normal to simply becoming tedious. Boss fights that take me 3-4 minutes on Expert take 3-4X that on Master and higher.
I'm not necessarily having any more trouble (just blues/yellows that trap you with area effects) but things just seem to be taking forever.
While the gear you get is technically better, I'm not honestly sure if it justifies the time to do it. Hell, I'm not sure if I even want to play it much more with the same character. I made it to the last act on Nightmare before the patch entirely solo and I think I'm reaching the end of the line with my 'ol Barbarian.
Where can you find information regarding slots and stats you should have in those slots? Im at a loss with how to gear my wizard at this point
Main: Available in all slots. Desired on all slots, but as with anything else, you won’t have perfect items everywhere; sometimes you can go without it when an item has other good stats.
Crit damage: Only available on Amulet, Ring, Gloves, and weapon (in the form of a socket). Because of how important this is to the CC/CD engine, having CD in these slots should be a priority.
Crit chance: Amulet, Ring, Gloves, Bracers, Helm, and Offhand/Shield. Once your CD is high, CC is quite strong. Having the Main/CC combo in most or all of these slots is a very solid foundation for good damage.
+% Element damage. Bracers and Amulet. Quite important for any build that can make use of them.
How do you guys get so many top-tier gems? Hours and hours of farming?
My Wiz is sitting at a good 1.2-1.3 mil dps self buffed when standing still with +25% arcane damage. She's built for single target archon farming (like manglemaw).
Got a good triumverate. It was a good upgrade from my 60 chantandos, but i'm not maximizing it until I get a good Black damage legendary.

How do you guys get that insane toughness????? My monk sits at like 4.7 toughness....LMAO. I can do T1 fine, but anything above that I get raped. My resists are like 500-640 and 7200 armor.

Start trying to stack double resists (i.e. all resist + secondary resist)
If that chart is true, key drop rates need to be buffed
In other news, this little side project of mine is almost done:
I've been farming T1 in all yellow gear
I've had days where 5-6 legendaries dropped for me in rapid succession. I've had others where I got nothing. So odd how it all works.I had a theory that if you were totally legendary free it might up your odds of getting them significantly, is that what you're experimenting with?

I suspect some kind of algorithm to monitor what u are buying/modifying via shards etc.
I wanted nat's weapon, and dead man's legacy quiver and got it yesterday.
Prior to that I was working on pants and got pants, boots and got boots and belt... so you see how my build progressed on what I was kinda trying to purchase/modify and eventually each pieces kinda fell into place in the past 6 days.
That last line is my biggest issue with this game.I wish that were the case. I've been hoping to find myself a Bul Kathos Solemn Vow to finish the set, but so far hitting Kadala with as much weapon gambling as possible seems to have me finding anything BUT weapons when I'm doing rifts. Whereas before I only got weapons and nothing else. lol
It would be nice if there was some way to improve your odds for finding set gear. I don't see good odds on ever completing any without trading anymore.

For me, they haven't all been on the same character, and they've been varying degrees of suck. But it's weird how it works out.Seems like I've gotten many less legendaries that don't suck since dinging 70. Still running around with quite a few level 66-69 legendaries equipped on my monk.

No, it doesn't. Any stat marked with an orange diamond is not counted towards your paper doll dps.Also, random question: In damage comparisons, do they take effects into account? Like, I have a 1H axe with a bleed effect. Hard to tell if it takes that into account.
Can't remember if it was orange or not (assuming it was). But I figured it didn't.No, it doesn't. Any stat marked with an orange diamond is not counted towards your paper doll dps.

RNG is RNG is RNG.
That's one thing that pisses me off. If you're running something, and people don't stop to hit pots and what not.Indeed...I think I've gotten more legendaries out of pots and random shit like that than actual bosses or resplendent chests.

I've got 4 set items this week-end from random pots/piles. None from the actual elites/bosses.
I think the blues said the high end chests are broken. The cursed ones seem especially bad.
I will say I've gotten more Legendaries out of white chests and random trash piles than any other method by at least a factor of 10.
Apparently you should always have a monk with that "break everything" AOE whirlwind thing going 24/7.
