I don't even.... the fuck is this shit. Look at the damage roll... my god. Lowest possible min roll. Because of that even rolling a socket into it wouldn't make it any good. God damn it. Took me forever to get a darn shard.

Yeah we smoked through stuff last night in group though!!!!
Yeah the fight always gravitates to the center too where all 4 flames hot you at once. Real bitch.
Yeah we've kind of come to a consensus that it's a gsync specific issue. I meant to say gsync is working the opposite of what it should. Pre-2.0 it worked correctly (gsync worked with vsync off) and now it only works with it enabled (which shouldn't be possible).

DPS jumped up ridiculously last night about 2x from 150k to 300k. I beat Act V solo on Master and then I jumped over to T1 for Adventure mode. Picked up a 2805 DPS 2H "Balance" for my Monk but it didn't have the necessary stats and I didn't have enough materials to re-roll it at the mystic. So I'm sticking with these two weapons. The LOH is essential to surviving as always.
I'm basically outlasting most of my enemies now and on the extremely hard ones, I swap to an even more defensive skill set. My boss set is basically the same as this Elite set but swapping Sweeping wind for Serenity and then switching everything to defensive runes.
Essence Burn and Cyclone are essential to farming, at least until I get higher DPS. Once the giant Cyclone cloud starts going in a giant pack, it basically chews up the elites so I just need to survive and round them all up.

How many runs of Izual did it take you?
I don't even.... the fuck is this shit. Look at the damage roll... my god. Lowest possible min roll. Because of that even rolling a socket into it wouldn't make it any good. God damn it. Took me forever to get a darn shard.
Also, has anybody here had any luck with acquiring Shards of Entsteig Plate?

Must have been roughly 15 Izual runs. Except one or two all on normal difficulty. There's supposedly a certain Unique Monster spawn that has a high drop rate for it as well, but I didn't encounter it once.

Is there any way to force a certain Bounty mission? Re-starting games for 20 minutes sometimes to get the one I want
I dont think its possible. After all that is not how it should be played. I did some bounty missions today, and I think I enjoyed all of them tbh.

Why are you looking for a specific one?

Subete no aware
That seems to be the ones I need to make that set. Googling says Feklar’s Ghost in Act I: Festering Wood, and I assume that hasn't changed since 2.0?
I'm not quite sure how farming works. Do you just load up a game, go to Festering Wood, clear it out, quit the game, and the do it again? Or do you need to reset quests?

Ruby would be infinitely better. Your crit chance early will be next to nothing.

weird. battle.net hero profiles don't properly reflect Mystic'd re-rolls. At least, not on the tooltips.

Yeah, thats what I thought!
Crusaders impressions seems nice. I will check tonight!
Yea I am online and in a group.
Defeated Malthaes in Torment 1 today, was pretty intense. Too bad it was part of a Bounty and not in the campaign, could've used those Achievements.
Hardest Bounty in the game. I would honestly reset the game if Act 5 has Malthaes as a bounty.

Finally picked up my game last night. Got to 70 on my Wiz and beat Maliel. I cleared out the bounties on the first act. Do these reset somehow?

Everytime you enter adventure mode a new set of bounty missions will be avaiable.

Has any monk tried stacking as much reduced cooldown gear as possible? I'm thinking inner sanctuary and SSS could be a rather sweet combo.
Yeah, I figured it had the 30fps drop... but afaik other games I play drop to 58 fps every now and then as well but I don't feel the 30fps drop.
I also wonder what causes me to get below 60, I guess it happens a split second when it's loading all those crazy effects in a huge battle or something. Game isn't that taxing for my pc.

RoS too good, nerf pls.

Haven't tried it yet but reduced cooldown is really good if it's possible. I have a Leg helmet that cut breath of Heaven in half more or less. It was crazy nice having a heal/damage button on a 6-7 second timer in battle. I've been using SSS now a lot too so if I can use it more, it'd be awesome.
The microstuttering issue only showed up after the 2.0 patch. Before the patch, you were able to force vsync on your graphic drivers, or use d3doverrider, and there would not be any stutters.
After the patch, it seems the game ignores those now. Having vsync enabled from your drivers or d3doverrider does not fix the stutters anymore. Hopefully this is fixed soon because those stutters are really annoying.

I actually took out SSS for dashing strike, and am considering replacing IS with Epiphany. Too often I lay down IS and the elites walk away. Also, for the hardest mobs, having to get SW, IS, mantra, EP, and SSS off to do most of my damage wasn't working. I was running that at 60, but now I feel undergeared at 70 on Master and need to be more defensive. I'm at ~170k DPS, 6k armor, 582 AR, so I think you are better equipped.

Best rift yet!
Easily my favorite feature of RoS.
I'm also liking the Crusader even more than I thought I would. Might just be my favorite class.
That's rad.
My kick-ass Demon Hunter:
Whoa, that's awesome.. DEFINITELY better than my ugly ass armor.
What set is that? The maurader?

Yeah SSS main downfall is the cooldown. However it does so much more damage than our other spirit spenders that I'm considering massively dropping my sheet DPS to try and make it a more "spamable" skill
A diamond in the helm is 10%. Beacon is 20%. Another 10% from paragon. The reduced cooldown rune on SSS and another 7% from my gear and it was close. I'm thinking I need another 20% or so from gear.
Serenity becomes close to "spamable" as well.
Drop SW for Cyclone strike and the mobs won't be able to leave your IS.
The last rune on Epiphany is apparently insane with fire gear.

I want Death's Bargain.
You'll only need to run them 0-1 times per character. Didn't mind them due to that.

I was using the lower cooldown rune for SSS and it would be on almost the same cooldown as IS.
Drop SW?! I've been considering it, I'm so attached because it's been the thing for so long.

It feels weird, but cyclone strike does good DPS now and really helps a monk keep mobs where he wants them.
Drop an IS, cyclone to you, drop an EP and then keep cycloning as they try and run. Really effective for trash or killing elites in group.
Edit: it sucks with fire chains. Lol

Probably, and also they get to make her naked which I feel is legit too if a bit pervy.
That would be me and, yes it's awesome. I also wield a 2-hander (Flying Dragon Daibo that can double attack speed) for higher SSS damage.
