Yeah.. spending money crafting is a huge biotch. The only reason I have so much gold is due to those t6 bounties I used to run pre- Earthquake set leap nerf...

It's worth it for main stat gems, probably worth it for weapon emerald (although, you can make do with 120% instead of 130% pretty easy), have a hard time justifying more than Flawless Imperial Diamonds for all-res, don't think it's worth ~15 million for 16 extra all res in a 2 socket pants.

Yeah, main stat increases significantly with each gem level and crit damage has a multiplicative synergy with crit chance, so those are definitely the ones you want to focus on bumping up.
 
Only I would find one legendary drop during this 100% + Buff, and have it be a two handed mace...

I found two of the same shitty spears within 4 or 5 rifts.

Blizzard said this would be fixed in a future patch. They are speeding up the animation of leap. It will be the same for both male and female barbs, but will result in a significantly faster leap, faster than what the female leap was.

So does this mean if i run T4 there is now a 100% rift bonus, 100% holiday bonus, and 60% t4 bonus? Making it total 260% increased chance on legs?

You got lucky...

I went through the entire bounty and rift with 0 legendary drop....

I highly doubt that 100% increase is working, at least for me.....:p
 
So I had just finished off an insane rift where I found 4 legendaries (2x Pledge of Caldeum's for whatever reason lol), but I decided to run the last two stages for kicks and stumbled upon this:



Unfortunately I was on my thorns/cooldowns Crusader, which is the worst possible build to chase down things that don't even try to hit you, so I'm pretty sure I only killed two of TWELVE! Ugh!

try chasing things on a pet WD, you cant control what your pets attack at all

Very good news if true. I'll check the barb forums.

12 gobs? Holy crap!

A friend and I were playing last week and we went into a room that literally had gobs as far as you could see. Unfortunately we pulled a massive amount of elites with us which ruined the experience!

FWIW, I am one of the few who actually listened to the storyline. I like it, even though it's convoluted as fuck ans makes no sense the farther you go in.

Anyone ever feel a DBZ vibe from Diablo series? How many times has Diablo been killed and revived again? I count at least three.

D1: D killed and implanted in forehead of hero who killed him
D2: D possesses hero and becomes D v2. Is killed by new heros...no soulstones.
D3: Prime Evil souls gathered in soulstone and implanted yet again in the daughter of the original D killer....and killed. Again. Soulstone still lives.
ROS: Mathael retrieves soulstone, embeds it within himself, and then dies, releasing all Prime Evils.

So the next xpac will probably involve fighting all Prime Evils once again. :eek:
 
Anyone do the cow level rift? 9 levels of nothing but cows! And the rift guardian was a huge freaking cow! The music was hilarious also.
 
Wow i did a rift lastnight on T4, killed the boss and got a lame flail for my barb? ithought the smart loot system was supposed t ofix this... how fun playin for an hour and drops something i cant use or sell and get rich bah :(

I had this same thing happen to me while playing solo T2 rift. It was in the jail type map and just before I hit the room I got a conduit pylon so I just walked in and insta killed them all. Took me four trips to town to bring it all back and sell/salvage it all. So went back in to finish to rift boss, came up to another group of them. I only killed 5 of the 12 though that time, no pylons and a pet WD here. It was crazy though.

Smart loot makes it so a high percentage of loot you get if appropriate. Personally I've gotten more Hunter set items this week than Witch Doctor set items. And I've been playing the Witch Doctor the whole time :eek:
 
So it seems the legendaries now drop all at once and then not for about an hour or two. I keep getting like 4-5 in a row(With some plans) and then nothing for a while.

Yup same. I'll get 4 in about 45 seconds. then nothing for 7-10 rifts.
 
Loot is definitely a bit wonky. I've blown about 4000 shards gambling for a Cindercoat to no avail and yesterday while I was gambling and spamming my right-click I got 3 Cindercoats in a row from Khadala :O
 
Just played for about 2 hours and loot is definitely wonky right now. 3 Firewalkers in a row, followed by 2 Mempo of Twilights in a row, followed by 2 Azurewraths in a row.

That could play into my hope for being able to choose a side. Perhaps the Nephalem decide that fighting the demons is pointless and it would be better to just off the Angels instead.

I bet Tyreal will be corrupted. They never told us what happened to that shard of the Black Soulstone.
 
Was playing today with my WD, got a set item to drop. Got excited til I found it was boots for a DH.... Oh well, lol
 
Got Marauder's gloves again! So pets + sentries, meh, kinda cool. So far, pet/sentry build, cool down reduction, tank/balance, and full on tank gear, xp/damage gear... 1.5 tabs worth of gear and combos.

What I'm liking is that I can PLAY whatever I feel like at the moment. I can also choose different armor sets based on who I play with. If there's a tank around who aggro's most stuff, I can play pets/sentry or cool down reduction. If I'm doing the carrying, the tank balance/full tank gear sets let me do that (20 mil and 30 mil tough respectively). Now the perfect roll stuff is still a bit away for safe t6 running in groups. Maybe one day when paragon 500+...
 
Guys a question I have been away from the game since the expansion came out, now I came back and I noticed something when I open my inventory for the first time each loading or something, looks like it loads up ? usually it was instant now like some items load up is that a new change ?

Yes. They fixed it to this after the last patch. There was an issue previously where opening the inventory or receiving a toast announcement would cause a 1-2 second delay. I was one of the people. Let me tell you, as a frequent open/closer of my inventory, even during combat, it's a welcomed change.

Yup, the "safety net" seems to gradually build up until you get a legendary, then decays over the course of the next minute or two.

Keep an eye on what drops from breakables and containers and stuff. You'll typically start off with whites and grays and it'll then move on to mostly blues. When they start consistently dropping yellows, you're about to get a legendary. Once you do, if you can get back to town right away, that's also a good time to spam Kadala as there's a good chance you can get a few legendaries in a row like chineseman did.
 
Finally after 65 runs total (combined) of T2 Act1 bounties, I finally got a ring of Grandeur. My Crusader is finally get to a point where I am happy with her (actually, I really love playing Crusader). I am trying to get damage and toughness to a point where I am happy (545K damage, 17.2mil toughness). I am working on finding one more blackthorns (for the damage negation on certain mob abilities) and one more Asheara's for the chance to get followers bonus.

I really think I need to find a Maxximus now and I should be all set for the character. My chance to block due to my shield and items puts me at 75% chance to block, with 50% of the blocked damage being completely negated.

I might roll on a barb next and hang up the Monk and Sorceress as I just couldn't find the proper balance with either of them. Oh well.
 
Got my barb to 70 from 55 this weekend. I now have every class at 70 and barb was a nice change of pace. Went back to run some t3 rifts on my dot wd and it just felt really uninvolved. (Dot and wait, dot and wait). Guess it may change when I get my jade set complete.

Also fire barb is super fun.

I got my first and only RRoG drop on any character while I was leveling my crusader at lvl 48. Boooooooo.
 
Got a 30% elite dmg SoJ from kadala this weekend. I totally wasnt expecting it. I bought like 10 rings at the same time, and I saw one legendary (some crap forgettable name), then I realized I had TWO leg rings in my inv!!

Had to roll it to arcane, so I didnt get to roll LoH to CC or CD. I guess its ok, My damage is pretty high, I need to start thinking survival.

Puts me in top 500 Wizards in America. A good andy's helm could push me much higher. At least helmets only cost 5 shards.

Fuck me, dat elite DPS!

Wow, Wizards get a ton of sweet elemental damage synergies.

I'm three items and some enchanting away from where I want my WD to be. A fire or phys SoJ, Mask of Jeram, and Tasker and Theo gloves and I'll be money, baby. Unfortunately, they're three of the rarest drops for a WD. Burned a couple thousand shards over the weekend on helmets and nothing but crap.
 
I started a Wizard last night on Torment VI just for shits and giggles, only at Paragon 38. Level 2 after killing the second mob :cool:. I had to turn it down to Torment IV after level 7, though, because the difficulty was scaling up too fast. I have to say I am loving the way the game is playing at this difficulty and at these low levels. A Moonlight Ward dropped for me at level 15, and I'll probably never see another one drop... :mad:
