Don't you have the sane odds of getting an equally crappy item each time? I don't believe there is any system in place to improve your shard odds?
Also, I got a Blackthorn's set belt from her today. Better lucky than good.

Rerolling rings is painful. Three flawless imperial amethysts and forgotten souls down the drain so far.
EDIT: Topaz, even. Much worse.
It's not even gambling really, when you have nothing to lose. It's not like you can use the blood shards for anything else.

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?
There's no system behind it. I was just pointing out the logics behind using more shards on items = higher chance of getting better items.
Someone spending 2000 shards on an item technically has a higher chance of getting a better than than someone spending 10 shards.

Finally beat the last boss, I had to keep switching my build to kill him, then the 2nd half form he one shot me with the ring of fire. Then I had to lower the difficulty and finally beat him. Seriously it seems like impossible to kill him on master/torment with all those projectiles coming towards you.

Couldn't resist even after putting some hours into the new patch, love the expansion. Excited to be in the GAF clan and play this time since Diablo III I mostly played on my own. Getting a ton of nostalgia from this game finally.

Same here. The last one I got was a pretty decent amulet for my monk after clearing act 5, and have gotten nothing since.
It's actually kind of annoying because my brother seems to get a quite a few legendaries whenever he does runs and he's playing on hard difficulty while I play on master/torment 1 (well now I'm playing on expert but even still...).

I started selling blues instead of salvaging them and it seems like maybe gold might be self sustainable after all; especially once I start selling rares as well.
...and someone just linked a 2.2K DPS Chantodo's Will where he rerolled one of the secondaries into +XP instead of resource cost reduction into a socket. I'm sad now.

If things weren't random people would break the game.

What can I spend blood shards on? What is recommended?
Any item slot you need to upgrade.
I kind of expect at least a yellow from a resplendent chest (yellow/gold aura around them). It's not like resplendent chests are everywhere.

I think everytime you acquire an item with a skin you haven't had on a item you've owned yet, it will be added to your available transmogs, no matter where you get them

Err, some people are loving the Crusader class, but right now it's the weakest by far out of them all. It has the worst movement speed (not even counting Heavenly Strength), has as much damage reduction as a Demon Hunter, has only one or two decent wrath spenders, is pretty okay at clearing swarms and rather shit on bosses. Too many ultra long cooldown abilities as well. All escape options are 25s - 30s too. The class was severly nerfed from the beta. It was overpowered at the start, people were able to solo T3/4 in the best possible gear towards the middle, and now T1 is about where you will stop unless you want to take hours on bounties, while all of the other classes are in T3+.
I got a boost on a Crusader that I made today up to 58 using bounties by starting a game on Torment VI and having a level 70 friend blow through it. I died in many hilarious ways. So now I have no gear and no idea how to play the class. What specs are people having good luck with solo, for good efficiency in Act V densely packed mobs?

I was solo leveling my crusader on master difficulty today and my favorite build so far is blessed hammers (dominon) and condemn, with judgement to root everything in place as I watch them melt around me.
LMAO @ people crapping on the Gambling system.
Half of the items I have on right now are from Gambling. My Boots, Glove, both Rings, Amulet, Belt and Bracers are from gambling.
Basically you save up like 300-400 shards and then buy all one slot. You mostly get rares so this is basically like crafting a Rare for that slot... only you just need to find one that has the best stats and one that can be made great with just an Enchant.
So for a Bracer all you need to look for is two of the following: main stat, crit and +% elemental damage of your choice. Once you get two of those you Enchant the 3rd stat for the missing one and now you have a great Bracer.
I got a 2.2K Fist of Aztarask today, rolled one of the stats into a socket... pretty happy with myself.

Jeez, been playing D3 for 9 hours straight. Had some crazy things happen, though. Our group managed to find a goblin room, with this as the fallout:
And then I managed to find this insane 1-H crossbow:
I don't have a DH yet, but you better believe I'm making one now! In fact, I tried re-rolling that 2.5% slow about 7 times to make it a red. lvl requirement, but to no avail. I REALLY want to use it at 40. It would be hilarious.
Edit: Updated crossbow pic to show potential rolls.

im definitely a noob at this game... but is it just me or are crusaders kinda bad?
wrath spenders are weak and it takes forever to generate wrath... and whats with all these 45 seconds cooldown skills? Am I playing a mmo now?
And that 2 second horse skill... come on :/

Really enjoying adventure and rifts. It's so fucking weird when you find a cursed chest and it tells you to kill this in a certain amount of time.

Crusaders are all about blowing huge cooldowns at a time from what I experienced leveling one to 70. Wrath spenders and generators are crap. I use the passive commander something that reduces cooldown on bombardment and steed and also use the beams from the sky move and phalanx on every elite pack I find. Other than that, i've tried shield with lots of block and it still underwhelming without using those big cooldown abilities.
Im curious if anyone has the mats and fund to go all out cooldown reduction to see how crusaders are after that (offensive). I want to try that but I don't have the mats to roll cooldown reduction on every gear.
First post in awhile, but had to kick in and quote this.
It's not "more garbage". Here's two items from blood shards that I got today:
LOL what is this? Why aren't you playing Crusader?
Dat fake Hammer hype.
Anyway I knew Crusader wasn't going to be good starting out. Only way you can make the class work is with their OP Legendary items. It's sort of the same as DH where they get an absurd weapon like Kridershot to make them somewhat good.
Imagine if Monk got something like that... LTK now gives you Spirit!

Question: Months before I came back to the game now for RoS, I was having a lot of fun as a Double Tornado Barb or whatever they were called - running around with Sprint creating tornadoes while Whirlwinding through everything. Is that not possible anymore? It seems the tornadoes do not generate fury.
Yoshi is all about dat op wizard
I basically gave up on hardcore for this reason. My screen will literally lock up for 20 seconds and there's nothing to do but pray. No other game does this either.
The last 5 levels as a crit beam crusader were some of the most fun i've had with this game

I was mostly ignoring gems and just throwing marquises into my stuff, but then I actually LOOKED at the stats they eventually start giving (after you combine them) and holy shit. The gains for each tier are ridiculously good compared to the previous progression up to marquise. Something like an additional +60 stat for the "other" slot each tier. That's crazy!
2 flawless imperial and 1 royal topaz later my damage got a pretty huge boost.

These aren't really spoilers for the ending but someone might think they are.
Wow ok. That Reaper of Souls ending, they aren't obviously planning another expansion or anything lol. They didn't even give a fuck, they were like fuck you I bet you thought this shit was gonna be over but HAHAHAHA NO.
Agreed, great ability. I slotted it as soon as I unlocked it and have yet to remove it.
I did the same thing. Ate all 6 of my souls, did a rift for one more, still nothing.
That's RNG for you.

Yeah, it's just like playing a Disintegrate Wizard, but requiring double the amount of cooldowns for similar damage, much less range and without the crazy flexibility in mobility or survivability options.
Who knows. Maybe they'll turn out similar to vanilla WoW Warriors. One of the worst classes from 1-60 and then god mode once in all purple. And maybe an orange.
Where can I go to read about the optimal way to gear? I'm pretty happy with my spec (and keep decent rare gear rolls for other specs should I decide to experiment further) but I'm sort of assuming that the Blizzard DPS/toughness/healing stats aren't perfectly accurate and would like some harder data on how to maximize DPS and EHP.
Loved it every minute I got it since 61 on my DH. SO AWESOME PEW PEW LASERS
been running torment 2 adventure mode as a barbarian with my monk friend. We were doing fine until we got to a rift floor we now call the Swamp of Shitstorms.
It was a small open swamp map, basically just one large 'room'. With fourteen elite packs in it. All using the reaper enemy type. With unbelievable amounts of regular enemies - basically every inch of the place was crawling with them. At one point we had to die over and over to kite them away from the entrance because we'd just get spammed with abilities that locked down our characters. But we eventually started making headway and finally cleared it out. The funny thing was even after we'd wiped out the main body of enemies we kept finding MORE groups of elites in little corners of the map. Came out of it with a couple legendary drops and 7 death's breath, at least.
In retrospect we should have invited some people on our friends list to watch them die horribly.

Wait for ps4 version will be painful.
That's what i have been doing with my crusader leveling up through adventure mode. Gonna do the same with my other characters.
Totally in Love with the Adventure Mode. Finally found 2 great 1-Hand Weapons (140k dps-180k dps).
Had a hard time in my first Nephalem Rift.
That's exactly what I did. Leveling is so much faster now.
