Ok your post has given me hope. I'm finding the Crusader kind of boring, but the good news is I think it's my faulty (and I'm only level 17). I also think I'm gearing up incorrectly. Let me parse out my questions to you (or anyone else interested in answering):
1) What stats should I primarily look for in each location (IE: +dmg on weapon, +Vitality on chest, + resist on gloves)
2) What runes are you using now and at lower levels?
3) I raised the difficulty on Crusader from Hard to Master once I hit level 15 and got destroyed. I lowered it back down to Hard and it's better, but I just feel under powered right now. Really don't want to drop down to Normal.
4) I don't want to do it, but I could take my lev 68 WD and level his paragon level I suppose (he's only level 3--please don't laugh!)
Thanks in advanced guys!
Are you talking about how a game of 4 players are taking out an act's bounties individually instead of together? Seems like that shouldn't really be a flaw in the system, since more players = harder enemies = harder to solo. So more power to those who can achieve that. Unless the enemies aren't hard enough to curb solo'ing.

I get what you mean, but we had fun. While doing the bounties everytime I recieved a message that one was completed and gave me exp, even from another act. At the bosses everyone helped each other, and while one finish a act he starts to help the others. At the end everyone is doing it together or in 2 separetd doubles. Very cooperative I would say.

I have this and before the Unity nerf it was nearly doubling my damage (along with Haunt of Vaxo ammy and Fire Ally). I'll end up getting rid of it once I get two better 1H weapons, though.
Really funny seeing the summoned cows.

Adventure mode with a group of 4 people on normal each doing a bounty is a great way to get legs but terrible for XP. Our group got around 6 or so legs in 30 minutes yesterday.
I'm not sure how feasible it is to split up on higher difficulties, but a four person game doing that strategy on normal/hard is still hilariously easy. Everything just melts.
I'm guessing this is what you mean, but this is largely not the game's fault but who you group with. I've been in a few guild runs (GAFMAX) where it was guild/group through and through. Two people or so would go back to town and everyone would hold up til they got back, etc. Friends are the same way.
But yeah, just open games and random drop ins in D3 is pretty bad in general. I swear I had like 3 games in a row one day where guys would just drop in, die in like a minute (on expert no less) and then leave.. I actually posted about it in chat because I thought I was being a bad internet player or something.
but guild/friend runs in this game are unparalleled.
this is normal/hard in a nutshell. those modes are basically "I am going to play some Diablo while doing my homework" modes.

It feels like a legit way to play, and at the same time very cooperative and fun, and also, very recompensative. I loved that.
And about the exp, I felt it was good (at least at hard difficulty). I leveled 87 to 89 at one run. Yesterday I did a bunch of nephalem rifts and I am not sure if it was faster for exp.

Paragon XP in general is pretty shit. I figured that paragon levels would be flying in with level 70 bounty mode, but it's like slower than it was at 60 even before the 50$ xp boost. Sadface.
If you paid 50$ for the XP boost, you got scammed lol.
With proper pace and some better extra experience gear paragon is easy to grind up until lv100.
Beyond that... it's a massive bore.
Yep. I do enjoy when everyone is doing bounties together, but right now this is the most efficient way to get legendaries quickly. It's how I nearly doubled my dps in just a few hours (250k --> 450k). Once I get geared enough to start doing torment 1 at a good pace is when I'll stop and start grouping again on bounties.
With enough base CC, you're probably better off using the Shield Glare | Zealous Glare for the 4s CC + massive Wrath generation. With enough CDR%, you can almost Blind lock enemies.

I went hard. Got my Witch Doctor to level 70 then did some bounties/rifts now he's sitting at 520k dps.
Kadala is my mvp. Every one of my characters has gotten baller jewellery from her within maybe 10 attempts. She's pretty good with gloves too. Pretty much everything save amulets since they're kind of expensive. I don't see why you should craft anything while she's in the game. Cheaper and no materials required aside from shards but you can get 100 in like an hour tops.

Dropped this on my Lvl70 Wiz, couldn't wait to hit 35 on my Crusader and today it happened. I am FUCKING SHIT UP. My DPS went from 800 to 18k with one equip.
I can now one-shot treasure goblins on Torment IIIShame everyone can do the same back to me.
that is amazing

That is unreal! "Reduced level requirement by 30..." what!
Does act V need to be completed at least once?
I'll add you in a bit, not online atm. Just saw you're only available for the next 30 minutes... and you said that... 30 minutes ago
Unless there was some promotion I didn't hear about, I'm pretty sure he just made a typo, and didn't pay for an xp boost. 50$ = 50%
I would be inclined to think most are soloing to experience the new content atm.
Yeah, pretty crazy.
Had a Barb belt with one that was reduced by 21.
Too bad I ended up Salvaging it.
Players are selling instant bounty bags on D2JSP. The seller preps the game with all 5 act completions ready to go, then the buyers join and finish the quests and get their 5 T6-level bags.
The battle.net thread was deleted, so it looks like Blizzard's aware of it. The reddit thread went horribly, lol. It all depends on which crowd sees it first I guess.

Rerolled that INT stat, first time:
I want this for when I level a crusader... so bad.
A bunch of guys I know were waiting till lvl 70 to kill him so I assume he won't drop a 70 legendary if you're not 70?
My wizard is still rocking a level 21 amulet at level 70, +25% to arcane damage and +6% crit chance isn't easy to replace.
Legendaries scale to your level, so if you aren't level 70, the item won't be ilvl 70.
i haven't joined a single public game since it launched, nor have i joined any general chats. just enjoying the game on my own right now.
i believe this is the case. there are loot thresholds i remember reading. items that drop can be level 60, 67, 69, or 70.
Yes. Can't do adventure mode before you beat the game once.
Yeah to top it off, the damn thing had literally 1/3 the armor of the level 66 belt I had on and no healing at all. It magically turned into mats so I can't test the effect...
So plot-wise for Act V - Did anyone else think the "twists" were completely predictable?
I figured out the whole "Malth is going to use the black soulstone to suck up humans" but pretty much the moment they explained he was still going on about the eternal conflict. 4 hours later what do you know, I was right. And who didn't see the prime evils being freed coming? Seriously that plot point was more or less a given. Though I am excited to be able to do battle against the other prime evils again. Give me Mephisto and Baal fights in the next expansion please.

I meant 50% xp boost
Oh man i just realized not only was diablo freed, but Mephisto, Baal, and all the others too. Yessssss! But I wonder, will they go the route that "diablo absorbed" the others, so it really is only Diablo free?
