Ah that's what I actually meant to say though it's kind of looks like I meant 5 in total w/ the special. Those are very sick bracers if you are dabbling in cold.

Well if you actually have a PS4 then you've already made your choice! You could have invested that money into a solid gaming rig that would have saved you money in the long term with steam sales and cheap games. Not that I blame you, it's just you can't have it all!
True. I could have invested and should have. But I would rather build a rig on my own, than buy an overpriced, prebuilt set up. I've looked around over the years at the "Need a new PC" threads at cost-efficient builds and stuff, but by the time I would have all the components, the graphics card would be outdated or something and I'd have to start over LOL.
Well, back to lowly console Diablo 3 for me tonight!
Beat act 5 last night and felt like I was in a good place bumping it all the way down to hard. The monster health and damage scaling was too much for my poorly geared Barb to keep up with, especially since the gear keeps at the i61 level until you're over 66. Shame I didn't have the patience to wait it out for the guaranteed legendary at 70, but the draw of adventure mode was too much to resist.
No one?

Well I hit a wall yesterday on T1, Urzael served me a humble pie and knocked me out of T1, I'll try again on Master tonight.

That guy must be a bitch solo. We did it solely due to using stun heavy builds

Still find it hard to replace these ice climbers and a few other level 60 items. I don't want to lose my movement speed. And they look pretty cool.
I think I'm ready to finish up Act V.

You too? It seemed like every other thing that dropped on my Witch Doctor yesterday was either a barb belt or a scoundrel token.

Barb belts seem to be a common thing. I kept getting those and wands on my witch doctor yesterday. Also got a dex legendary amulet (first legendary after hitting 70) on my WD.

I went through Act V last night and then started a crusader, up to about level 12 or so. It's a lot of fun, but pretty slow moving. I only have a few skills at this point, but he's similar to the barb in that his skills _feel_ really powerful, specifically the shield bash. The really neat thing about shield bash is that if you target someone at mid/long range he'll run to the spot, then bash. The shitty thing about shield bash is monsters will jump out of the way of it sometimes. I'm personally waiting to get the steed skill, fist of the heavens, blessed hammer, and falling sword, then I'll be a happy camper. Falling Sword is my favorite skill from what I remember from the blizzcon demo.

I went through it on normal so everything melted, but I got through it in a few hours. Started around 6, ended around 10. It's worth it, really fun experience, gorgeous areas...oh, and turn the music back on, soundtrack in act V is pretty baller.

Man, gambling...
260 or so bloodshards on chest armors, 5 a piece. Only rares (and 2-3 blues).
Although, one rare is pretty decent

So I had quite a bit of time to play yesterday, and had a lot of fun starting fresh on a new Cruasder. I put the difficulty on Expert, and it just feels like the right setting for a fresh character -- monsters don't die too fast but they also aren't a walk in the park either.
Somehow I also managed to get 4 legendary items, which is sweet. Loving 2.0 here -- did not come back to the game until yesterday and it's crazy how much better it is than 1.0.

beat Malth on my fresh Crusader and he dropped a Skywarden, which is a 2h mace that gives you a random Law (aura) every 60 seconds that lasts for 60 seconds. Running around with two different Laws active is sweet. Socketed that bitch up. Still have lots of work to do on my gear, wearing a level 59 Aquila Cuirass, not seen a good chest drop since then.

Damn man. Those stats. I guess we have a baseline for a decently geared level 70:
500-600k dps
5mil toughness
Your char looks badass too lol

Gems are fucking expensive. I'm down 7 million from where I started mostly due to gemming, and all I have are seven flawless imperials and one royal. Given how little gold you actually earn even when you spend all your time doing bounties and rifts, I'll be surprised if this doesn't change.
I played fresh (no twinking) expert til 7. Sometime in 7 I think I had to drop to hard as the mobs were outpacing me. it was a lot of fun (and I also kept myself in the dark). However at that point I said to myself "you know!? I really want to see what my witch doctor and the enchantress are up to now!!" So I started on Act V.
Act V expert is going well so far. I was a fresh level 60 on this guy on Sunday and have yellows largely between 51-59. hit points and life on hit are keeping me safe for the most part but even hardier minions are taking like 3-4 seconds to burn down with wampire bats.
No. AFAIK (or anyone) there is nothing that is exclusive to campaign. It's there once to give you the story and introduce you to the areas and that's it.

If I change energy tap to prismatic armor, I get over 6 mil toughness. If I go pinpoint barrier, I get 710k DPS.
He's alright for Torment 1. Mobs go down REALLY slowly on Torment 2 and champions mess me up pretty bad.

Posting one more time to see if anyone knows:
If I enchanted the wrong property can I reset the item to base stats and do a different stat?

no. once you enchant a property it is the only property you can ever enchant.
I beat him solo last night but only on master (on a fresh WD). My dps was only like 92k and I think it took a looong time.... He has some serious hp.
On another note, it's hilarious how streaky the rng can be. I have only played my wd (leveling him up and hit 60 right as RoS launched) for the past 4 days or so and I have gotten 12, that's right, 12 barbarian belts on this guy in the span of about 4 hours of play in RoS. I can't figure out why, and it's really one of the only not-my-class items I've gotten. But they drop off of everything.

It's a bug. I'm 99% sure it thinks everyone is a barbarian and that they'd love a new belt.
Similarly, I turned in some shards for a new shield on my monk and it spat out a crusader-only shield. Blizzard must do that on purpose because my monk made some snide comment when it happened.

Found this amulet after turning in all the bounties for Act 1. I was pretty happy with it but I figured I didn't need the 90-something all res it had so I re-rolled it. This is what happened after my first attempt
what is this sorcery?
yes, it happens to me too. And when I make a new open game on adventure mode, no one joins lol
Found a list of where legendary mats drop for your legendary plans. Wish we could sticky this somewhere as I think it's very useful for farming knowledge.

Loving this.
Adventure mode is brilliant, not sure if I like the rifts. Both I have done so far have been kill a tonne of dudes and then a boss - are they all like this? I feel they go too long but both times I have run them I have been knackered.
Also - where's Yoshi? Seems quiet.

So I was only able to play for an hour last night because I was finishing up my WoW challenge modes so I can finally settle into diablo 3 time.
I got to 64 in an hour on torment 1. My barb isn't well geared by any means (159k dps and 2mil toughness with his 60 gear) should I continue playing on torment 1? Or drop to master? How did you guys do?
GOD I CANT WAIT TO GET HOME AND KEEP PLAYING I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE DAY OFF WORK.

Oh dear God.... Thanks for this but this is TERRIBLE.
I second this. The last thing I want is to have to sort through every white I find trying to determine what does and does not need to be kept. ugh.

Yes, it is. I was happy enough with legendary drops from specific monsters, so you could go out and farm for a specific piece. I am not, however, happy that they also throw in a random white. And they are whites that many people have probably salvaged or ignored just because that's what whites are for. Horrible.
Also the gem crafting cost is OBSCENE. Like, really fucking bad. That HAS to come down, we're not all carrying around over a billion gold.

Yeah, Melee characters have it tough with this dude
I had him down to a 1/4 health but then I screwed up and died, I feel I can beat him on T1 but I just have to not to screw up for like 15 minutes.

Does anyone know if leg. crafting materials have a higher drop chance on higher difficulties? I'd heavily assume that it is the case, but if not I wouldn't wanna waste time unnecessarily.
At this rate it feels like I'm not getting one anytime soon anyways >.<

How do you get a follower if you start a new character and play adventure mode only? I started a crusader a while back but no followers
You gain them as you level up.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I still wasn't even at 200k dps or 2mil toughness when I finished act 5 last night. Gimme da loot gimme da loot.
You get an announcement when you hit the appropriate level. For example, when you hit 8 in AM, a little banner pops up showing that Templar is now available.

How can I improve this WD build?
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#hleUdQ!eTS!abZZcb
Currently, I lead with Haunt and Locusts then drop a Piranha and sit back and watch everything melt. The little and mid-sized guys dying all at once allow my cool downs to reset quickly and the Creeping Death passive is incredible. Mana isn't an issue really because I only need to cast my DoTs once. However SH is pretty much my main nuke and I'm lacking single target burst damage. Dotting up a few screens worth of guys is pretty sweet though. This reminds me of playing my old Warlock from WoW.

I believe that the "Smart Loot" system is intentionally not rolled on every roll. So it does mean you'll still sometimes get gear that isn't tailored for you.

I too experienced some graphic glitches (sorry forgot to take screenshot) but is some kind of flickering shadows over certain items and areas, which only got fixed with a game reset.
At first i thought it was my video card overheating, but i opened afterburner, and temps seemed ok (50c-55c under full load, 34c idle)
Is definitely not a game-breaking issue as I hope they're just isolated incidents
