With the patch I feel they should rename the rarities. Yellow items can be hardly called Rare now as it's the stuff that drops all the time. It's interesting as white items are quite rare now which is funny, blue drops from act bosses(lol) and sometimes from chests/etc. Legendaries should be called rares now imo, atleast in my games their drop rate is indicative of that. And I'm not sure I ever saw a grey item since the patch.

Diablo III |OT5| Finally out of Beta

I dunno if I'd go that far, I feel like it's missing the 2 biggest things which are obviously the loot changes and the skill changes. I'm playing a sweet electric build on my wizard right now, most fun I've ever had with the class and it's because of the new/changed runes and the ability to get increased elemental damage on gear.
If I could get one of those fulminators I'd be set.
If you want to farm whites for materials, start a new toon, play normally and blow up the extra whites and greys you get. They drop in abundance and give you the same mats you can use to craft level 60 stuff. It seems a lot faster as well.. level 20 by the end of Act I.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Its weird to me that a "Barb Lightning build" is now viable. I thought the Wizard was "master of the elements" or something
Are we watching the same video? That doesn't look like facerolling. I'm not saying it's better or worse then other classes (this is literally the first video I've ever seen of T6) but when I think of facerolling the first thing that comes to mind is stuff like that monk bell spam build pre 2.0 that was killing elite packs in a matter of seconds.
Regardless, that video plays exactly like I was describing a couple of posts ago, Barb is still a lot of fun and plays well in large packs of enemies but once you get down to one or two it's pretty much the worst thing ever. Which means fighting stuff like bosses and elite packs is really a chore.

It's awesome that the RoS promise of build/item diversity is at least somewhat panning out. Pretty much every class now has builds that can center around various elemental damages with appropriate gearing.

Yeah, whirlwinding a bunch of enemies is great. Trying to deal with a pack of elite wasps that won't stand still is a nightmare.
Latest + greatest for easy exp/hour: freeing people during the Scouring of Caldeum on T6. Faster than Mira (Blacksmith's wife) or the Lieutenant Vachem one, less gear requirement.

My Barb has a Fulminator, and another legendary sword that deals lightning damage with a chance to hit a crit around 35% of the time.
Count in the Rune for Cleave where you deal lightning damage, and yeah, Barb quickly has become unstoppable.

Pretty much every class has some elemental builds now but Wizards are still the most diverse in that regard.
7 elements in total:
Physical
Arcane
Fire
Lightning
Ice
Poison
Holy

Yeah, you know I am probably in the minority, but I just never have any interest in these "quick xp" tricks and such. I'd rather actually play the game and enjoy myself than do something as monotonous as that. And if the game isn't fun to play then I play something else instead. That's why I stopped playing D3 half a year ago in the first place, I wasn't having fun. The patch has fixed that for me and now I'm having a blast, so yeah I'd rather play the game and level naturally than repeatedly do the Act II rescue bit over and over and over again. Hell I usually blow through that bit as quick as possible because I'd rather be slaying shit than rescuing the helpless, LOL.

Understood. Thank you for that insight.
Same here. That seems boring as fuck.
Yeah, doing a short repetitive run like that for pure exp is about as dry as it gets. Just passing it along since it's more effective than the other similarly-boring ones people have been doing. Like the person in the linked thread said, people will use these things even though they're not the most intrinsically fun, so it's good for them to be noticed and fixed. "Please fix this so I don't have to feel I'm playing suboptimally if I'm not doing it", essentially.
Personally, I've been running the Storm Halls. Lots of chests, weapon racks, a shot at a horde cursed chest, and good density. Downside: some nasty monster types (constructs).
Yeah, count me in the camp that doesn't like it either. I prefer going on a little adventure and exploring every dungeon in an area, one of the reasons I am excited for adventure mode since it will be a bit more guided and random elements to it.
And man, I think lightning wizard is becoming my new jam. It reminds me of a lot of the reasons I loved pre-2.0 WW/HoTA barb since every single skill you have plays off each other in great ways, and, jumping up and down to kill large spread out groups of enemies is god damned hilarious.

We did ubers on Torment IV with a full group and not one of us got a single organ. Suspect Blizz broke something so I wouldn't bother.

Yeah that was stupid.
I thought they hotfixed that a while back?
Yeah, the drop chances for ubers are pretty bad. I've seen a few, so they're working, but scaling from 25% at T1 to 50% at T6 is pretty bad considering the effort involved.
For DH's I think the legacy DMLs are worthwhile since they can get 14% EA.. seems like that option won't exist with 2.0 quivers.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
They hotfixed lowbies getting the massive xp because of the host being 60.
They still get good xp for their level, considering the effort involved.
I was hosting one with Dreamvision's alt DH, and he was getting between a 1-1.5 levels per turn in.

We were pretty bummed we didn't see one organ.The only cool thing is the lack of needing NV stacks I guess.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
It is now 1-50 in 30 minutes and 50-60 and another 30min (max 1 hour) so it's not bad at allThe times we had, 1-50 in under 2 mins.
Correction, the loot fixes are definitely in the console version. They were there before the PC. You're correct about the skills though, those are old.

Loot 2.0 is not the same as the current console loot.
Exactly my point. Ignoring all of the new procs they've given so many legendary items (also not in the console version) the console version doesn't even have simpler stuff like increased elemental damage, resource cost reduction, or reduced cooldown of skills among some other stats.
50% extra exp? So is this monster exp or both monster and reward exp?
I've been trying to log in to try and sell all my old stuff, but the AH just crashes every time I click it

I fully expected them to do a week of bonus XP leading up to RoS, but I wasn't expecting 3 weeks.
