I imagine this will benefit Double Tornado Barbs more.

Those have to be the most godlike boots that the game is capable of generating.
Even without the affix

Wow those legendary changes are way beyond what I was imagining. Some really great ideas and interesting looking items. Seems like some people who already have legendary plans are going to make out like bandits too if they have ones that get buffed heavily.
What? 1 run gives you 1,23 mill? In what amount of time?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I posted on the official forums about how the +elemental skill damage boosts, which are ironically not even mentioned in the blog, are probably the single biggest, most important change that is coming to the items. It's exactly the kind of thing that promotes skill diversity based on items and makes you consider new builds as soon as you get it. Getting a legendary one hander with under 800dps but +25% to all fire skills means that is still a very viable weapon and will probably increase the damage of the right build more than a 900+ dps weapon.

I read the patch notes last night as I was going to sleep. For some reason it didn't dawn on me to buy all of the crap legendarys that I could. The cheapest crappy legendary is 400,000 right now.
Someone on GAF was kind enough to give me a key for the starter edition and I started playing today
I love it! I started as a wizard but didn't get very far since I had to do something.
I'm pretty sure I want to buy this game now. Should I wait till after the patch or buy it now? What's the cheapest you can get it for right now (box from Europe with international delivery or online)?

Yeah, totally liking what I am hearing out of 1.04. One of the reasons me and my roommate stopped playing Diablo was because of the constant walls we hit. I mean if we sat through it and tried really hard, we could break through. Or if we got really rich and bought the right items - but that got tedious.
Changing the core mechanics of the game so it feels more like an 'increased efficiency' game is appreciated on this end.
Ontop of that, the changes in legendaries and group play mechanics are interesting me. Lesse what happens with class changes!

Get it now. Most of the changes affect people level 60+
It is not retroactive
Not retroactively buffing any legendaries - however if you have a legendary forge plan, the new legendaries you make will be buffed. So... those plans are probably selling for 90,000,000,000 right now.
While it's not retroactive, the changes will affect craftable legendaries, and they will still require brimstone - so people are stocking up on crap to extract brimstone as the price of brimstone is increasing rapidly.

350k right now
Really? Dear lord. I am so glad I did not sell the 11piece I have for 100k/piece. Dear lord.

Need some assistance. There was a damage calculator linked in the last thread but I can't seem to find it. It was a new one which imports from your blizzard profile page.
Anyone know the one?

I'm really really curious about the skills boosts now. They had my interest when they detailed the main parts of 1.0.4. Then the legendary part came out and really got me excited. Hopefully they can keep that going witht he skill boosts.
Then we have 1.1 for PvP and any endgame stuff they said they were working on too.
I leave tomorrow evening for Costa Rica for 10 days. I'm hoping I come back and the patch comes out the following tuesday. Would be totally epic.

I really want to see some extra monk skill things since we dont deal that much elemental damage. If there is weapon that boosts the time whirlwind stays up or boosts its damage or number of cyclones i would be in love.
Crafting is looking up since 62 can now roll 63dmg even though its not affixes.

You guys remember from the first blog about 1.04 that they mentioned normal mobs dropping 4x as much loot right? I see that as a higher chance of uniques dropping. Then again, uniques in D2 did not drop often either. I'm hoping they increase the drop rate of them by even a little bit. 120 hours played, and only had 1 unique drop for me ever. Haven't even gotten a set or blacksmith plan yet.
TBH even if it's true (which we don't know yet) it would be largely irrelevant since the whole point of legendary/unique items are that they feel/look different then rares for example. Of course they should be powerful as well, but it's not just about the stats themselves always.
That's why the items are so uninteresting currently.
Did we play the same game? Sure the really valuable ones rarely ever dropped, but I've probably had thousands of uniques drop in D2. Pretty much every boss run was guaranteed 2-3.

What level are you at?
The first 100 hours I didn't find anything. Then I got to level 60. After a 5 stack of NV, you're never withouth 75% MF bonus. Legendaries have dropped much more often for me post 60 than pre 60. Prior to inferno I only had 2 fall. I've since seen like 20+ easy. I have a MF set for act II inferno getting me up to 225 MF after the NV stack. One weekend I had 4 drop in a matter of about 5 runs in VoA.
I've been 60 for weeks. Currently in Act 3 inferno. Getting my ass raped there, so I've been farming Act 1 and 2. I even do the MF gear switch thing before killing any packs.
Yeah, uniques in D2 for me rarely dropped. I just have terrible luck. I'm hoping with the new patch, all that bad luck will be used up, and I get rained on

I'm at about 175 hours now and I've had one legendary, and that's it. No sets, no nothing.
The last couple of weeks that's been swapping in 290MF (before NV) on packs too. Ho hum. =/

"I'll close by adding that there are no changes planned for either Sprint or Battle Rage, so all you crazy double tornado barbarians will still be able to log in after 1.0.4 goes live and continue with your current build. "
Good job blizz!

That is awesome. I've been thinking about changing some equipment to try the double tornado thing, but wanted to wait and see how bad it was going to get nerfed first. So glad to see Blizz admitting mistakes and doing more to make the game FUN instead of spreadsheets and numbers.

That seems wild to me. Do any of you kill trash mobs or just run to elites?

Hope is rising. Pillar of light is going to get buffed through the roof. I hope Fist of a thousand punches gets buffed too.
Lol what. Uniques in D2 dropped pretty often.

Everything, though I only equip my full on magic find gear for elite packs.

Had 3 drop from barrels so i dont dare to destroy barrels now.
Hrm, they haven't mentioned their proposed MF changes yet, have they? Man, this patch.
I really didn't have that experience until MF runs with hundreds of MF%. :|

I kill everything on the way to packs. My OCD doesn't allow me to skip them. I still smash all the barrels etc even though I know they are worthless now.

Think this is the first time posting in a Diablo 3 OT. Got the game a week and a half ago and currently just farming Act III of Hell trying to get gold to buy upgrades for Inferno. I had the Asheara's Bindings plans drop while farming act III and was able to sell that for about 5 million, but inefficient use of that gold has left me still treading water.
Part of my problem in act 1 inferno is that I'm still wanting to have boosts to magic find / gold find, but balancing that with my damage output and survival has been a challenge. I'm sure my build isn't optimal, but I haven't done a lot of research into maximizing my Demon Hunter's potential.
Anywho, excited for whenever the new patch hits.

Ha, I had 3 drop for me last week all within 3 hours of play. And it was right after taking off some MF gear since the two friends I was playing with also had low MF gear. I had 2 legendaries drop within 2-3 minutes of each other in the same cave - can't remember which one.
One of the drops was actually a nice upgrade for me at the time. Haven't found any worthwhile legendaries since other than the BS plans that I sold right away.
