Kind of sad at how bad the damage is on all the 2 hand weapons I've found. Figured they would be more worth using. I've found a bunch of 2h barb weapons and the damage was ridiculously low

I've noticed this myself. My 1h has more damage than the 2h I found. Anecdotally from what other posters are posting as well.

 

[Ashodin]

Soooooo is there any reason we aren't starting GAF US Clan #2 to take in the extra people not in the first one?

It's already started. Check Clan thread.

My bad!
Found it!

 

[Valkerionseven]

Sooo whats the current standard level 60 Witch Doctor ability set up. Have not played since launch.

Yup, most 2handers just don't have the damage to make them competitive. The only reason I'm still using my old pre-patch Skorn is because gemmed it has almost 300% crit damage, which is nutty.

And like 90% of my legendary drops have been 2-handers, no joke. Sad panda If not for some kind GAFfers I've been running with, I'd have gotten very few legendary upgrades.

 

[toastyToast]

Level 60 2 handers should really be close to 2k. Pretty much every 1h legendary I've found has been in the 1200s

Which sucks, but I think it might be a balance choice for the Crusader passive.

 

[Loginius]

yeah it works, not sure but i think its based on skill proc rates. The visual effect is pretty minimal so you won't really see it going off if there's a battle going on

Ok thanks.
If the effect is minimal I probably just didnt see it, I was using living lightning and arcane orb with the lightning rune which turns my screen in a ocean of blue effects.

 

[tylerf]

The new difficulties are pretty nice. Leveling a character is so much more fun without having to slog through the easy modes.

 

[Yoshichan]

Hearthstone dailies

Then more Diablo

Don't do too much without me EU GAF

 

[MrDaravon]

Didn't Blizzard say they were going to be buffing 2 handers?

 

[styl3s]

All these legendary items, all these upgrades. All this fun

Bring on the expansion.

 

[Strider]

stupid question incoming.

if i reset the quests it is just for the one hero right and not all of them? I need to be sure before I do it.

Yeah, just for that hero.

 

[MrDaravon]

Folks who were in the RoS beta: I know tears/essences aren't used for 70 crafting, but is common debris used for anything post-60? Looking around was getting mixed responses but it seems like maybe yes? Asking because I have a shitload of debris already at this point, and people are selling white items on the AH for 80k+, so while I really don't particularly need the money I'll take that over mats I won't need at all.

Same thing for fiery brimstone, would be nice to know what's obsolete in the expansion.

 

[MrDaravon]

From what I could find (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) at level 64(?) and up you're going to be using a completely different set of crafting materials than what we have now with the possible exception of debris. So Demonic Essences, Brimstones, Exquisite Essences, and Tears will all be completely useless unless you want craft lower level stuff if you're leveling an alt or something. Only on Common Debris was I not able to clarify if it's still used in the higher level stuff.

 

[Nete]

Both. There are new white and legs mats for 61-70 crafting, Reusable Parts (white) and Forgotten Soul (leg).

 

[Dahbomb]

Yea the 2H weapons have been pretty bad thus far. Either that or the 1H weapons are over tuned. I usually can't tell of something is 1H or 2H until I actually look at the description.

It normally ends up being "hey that's not bar for a 1H... oh wait that's a 2H... EPIC FAIL!"

Yeah, I don't get it either. I really want a Barb that just runs around with a huge ass weapon, but the scaling seems way off.

 

[MrDaravon]

I just went through the bnet game guide and I saw NO 61-70 plans or crafts that use a single item we currently have access to (including debris). The Mystic portion of the game guide isn't up so I can't verify that, but looking at beta videos I don't see any current items that are used by the Mystic either, seems to be just money and then the new higher level crafting stuff for enchanting and transmog.

Which is strange to me considering the mats are so expensive on the AH right now. I made 10mil last night just selling a small % of my mats for the hell of it. If I sold them all I'd have about 50mil more. Not sure who is buying these right now...

 

[Jira]

Yeah the 2h always seem to only have about 100 DPS more than the 1h which is really odd.

No idea. I was also able to sell all of my gems and gear from all my class alts for more than I paid for them a few months ago. Baffling. Only thing I can think of is people who are coming back and gearing up all the characters that have been power leveled in the last week.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

BTW, if this thread for some reason fills up before the RoS OT is out, I won't be posting a new one. Use the Loot 2.0 thread currently in gaming if it comes to that, but such an overlap should be small if it happens.

It's been a good run.

 

[Robin64]

This happens a lot.

 

[neoism]

omg I love this game... Like 5 mintues in my first game of the day. And somehow randomly click a white chest after putting my mouse down lol

 

[Shifty76]

Huh, figured since I wasn't using my old 1200-odd dps mainhand with dex/cd/socket any more that I'd see if I could sell it on the RMAH.

Sold for $10 in less than 15 mins!

Interesting. I'll have to look through my legacy gear and see if there's anything I could squeeze cash out of before the AH goes down. Not like I'm going to really need it with the new level cap.

 

[Revoh]

I don't understand how some people have +250 Paragon levels just a few days after the patch. If I understand correctly, this patch removed the Paragon level 100 cap, so how can they level up so fast? I've played non-stop for 2 days and only leveled up 30 levels.

Multiple lvl 100 paragon characters, all added up.

 

[mileS]

Witch Doctors. I'm building a set now (most of it is already my well geared Wiz gear) I'll have my 4-set Zunni. Got a solid acid cloud/spirit barrage build lined up. Need opinions on the type of off-hand to buy. That or should I straight up go for a Skorn?

 

[Frant1ck]

I'm loving this patch, its great but...


I can't figure how this loot system works. I'm getting Legendaries from small chest and pile of rocks, but only getting blues on a torment Diablo kill...lol


Still lot of fun tho..

 

[The Omega Man]

First interesting drop I get, I'll experiment with it

 

[Unconditional]

Niceeeee

Me want. so bad.

nice pickup.

 

[The Omega Man]

Yeah I got lucky there, all I need now is Dat new Inna's set :/

 

[Tarazet]

Working on a WD in Hard Mode and it is a riot. Frogs everywhere!

 

[spindoctor]

Is there any word on when the RMAH gold selling will be functional again? I was hoping to sell some gold to subsidize my ROS purchase.

 

[O.DOGG]

I found this today.

I'm still experimenting but it seems to go great with the Thunder Ball rune. Keeps slower enemies in stun lock.

GOOD MORNING

SO MUCH HYPE

[Dreams-Visions]

Talk to me about damage converted to life on your main hand. Say 2.6%. worth? Does that include crit damage? AoE damage?

 

[bidguy]

is 2.0.1 available on consoles ?

On a scale from one to ten, how has the patch revamped your interest?

 

[ertitoagus]

love this patch soooooooooooo much.

 

[Yoshichan]

On a scale from one to ten, how has the patch revamped your interest?

From playing zero hours per day in over a year, to 16 hours per day, for almost a week straight - with absolutely no indication of me stopping anytime soon...

I'd say (in Diablo 3 numbers), approx. 50193118214174.214% more interest in the game :3

 

[MrDaravon]

LS isn't an affix that drops anymore. On legacy gear at level 60 you only actually get 10% of the life steal % listed. I wouldn't bother.

The console release had just about everything this patch has.

 

[Mengy]

I'd say a very strong 9 for me. The game feels so much better now. I can't think of one complaint I have with patch 2.0. Maybe the clan player limit could be higher? But that's a very minor complaint, it's the only one I can think of though. Maybe Barbarians could have seen more love? They've improved practically every facet of the game, it's just much more fun.

And RoS is only going to improve on that, I mean once the Crusader class, Ladder system, Mystic, and Adventure mode are in, that 9 will get turned into a 10 immediately. Adventure mode especially, I'm so looking forward to that.

I'm impressed. Either Blizzard went back to the drawing board and made a lot of different choices or Jay Wilson really was responsible for much of what was wrong with the game at launch. It's amazing how much they've corrected what was wrong a year ago.
