I believe rifts do technically go on forever if you never choose to close them. Or so I was told the other day. Not sure about how additional guardians would work though.
Clearing rifts in 10 minutes is a bit of a coin toss but generally if you do it in a group of two and you send each person in a different direction you can do it quickly. Depending on the rift and mob density you can finish a rift in the first floor. There is one that's the graveyard of Act V that I did in like 7 minutes because it was just so densely populated, but then there are others like the one that mimics the lead up to Malthaels room that has like no mobs.
They cap at 10 floors, I believe, but they don't all go that far.
No, you can reach the end of a rift and there's one of those teleport obelisks when you do.
They have a tp stone at the end like you see at the end mini dungeons to send you back outside. Longest one I've seen has been 7 levels (I like the keep clearing if I'm solo.)
Your friends are super lucky. Actually, compared to me you are pretty lucky too, did 3+ hours of rifts last night and got 2 legs. q_q
some end at 3, some end at 20. rifts are completely and utterly random, and that slows my farm down. getting a dalghur oasis rift with 100 mobs on the entire map is shit, and has happened way more than it should. i like the act 5 graveyard rift, but other than that, they're fairly poor expenditures of time. i have 115 rifts completed, and very few have felt satisfying.
10 is the absolute cap I think.
Guys, I have so many rings that I honestly have no idea what to equip or re-roll for anymore.
I've been farming with Vitalized Testimony and Ring of Royal Grandeur and switching to the Stone of Jordan on boss fights.
Now with the Oculus, maybe I should use Ring of Royal Grandeur + Oculus on higher difficulties? Should I even re-roll any of these stats? Why can't I get an off-hand to drop.
dat soj....
Also, you can't enchant out the elite dmg reduc affix on Oculus for something like crit or Crit damage which sucks. My oculus rolled perf IAS and perf All res and i was gonna use it until I found out that

I guess we don't really need to worry about damage reduction then, since the objective is to farm as fast as possible (depending on preference of course)?dat soj....

The stone of jordan is good, but it's hard to give up 6% crit or 50% dmg. I'm a little weary of re-rolling the vit into crit as I feel I've given up too much vitality already.

Got this a few days ago
I have never had a 10 rift run. 7 is the absolute highest I have gotten.
They are usually 3-4 on average. Fairly quick in my experience with a group. You have to gauge quickly if a Rift is good or bad... bad ones you just try to find the exit asap while good ones you milk the Rift for what it's worth.
Sometimes when a Rift is good you continue even after the Rift Guardian. Those are the really good and really rare Rifts.
Yeah, you can get bad Rifts too.. but IMO that's not much different than one of those crappy "Kill every enemy in this low density map" Bounty. If you miss an enemy in some dark corner that puts a damper on your runs and speed.

Not sure if this has been posted, doesn't look like it's been hotfixed yet. Will be using this to get my barb to 70 today.

I hate those kill every enemy of the area bounty mission. They should just substitute them by "Kill X enemies", and put a higher monster desity. These are a lot more fun to do.

That would give people more incentive to play at higher levels anyway, if they're not grinding paragon levels.
I don't know... I feel like they should find a way to make the mid-game enjoyable too. Because at this point you're also disincentivized from playing multiple characters, because it feels like you are wasting time if you aren't grinding the RNG on your main.

Went from 415k to ~520k DPS with some crit chance on my helm and switching from a 2H to two 1Hers. I'm not sure what I need to upgrade next. I'm at 900 allres and 9k armor.

Decided to try my first torment rift on my barb, zoned in and it was full of wasp and succubi.

How's the rerolling works?
Thanks for the tips! Will treasure them. Too bad my neck roll on crit dmg is low (62 out of 50-100), will reroll in future if I don't find a better one
Got this today solo grinding keys in Act 1. This seems like my ultimate offhand weapon as a sweeping wind monk. Can anyone confirm that it procs with sweeping winds? Want to be sure.
I'm pretty sure it does after some minimal testing but want to be sure. Don't think I'll replace this for a very long time.

You get to select one stat from an item, pay some mats and gold and it'll roll one of a set possibility of replacement stats. You can keep the same thing or choose from one of two randoms. You can reroll that same enchant again for 2 more options (each time the gold cost increases a bit). Legendaries require a greater cost than yellows.
Got around to installing the game (again) and decided to try Crusader. My buddy hadn't really played much D3 before, so he went with WD. Holy shit we had a good time. Way better than I ever expected. lol I played (mostly) through D3 vanilla, and had an ok time with it, but something never quite felt right. Is Loot 2.0 what has changed my experience this go around? I'm not sure, but the itch to jump back in and play is strong.

Today was a good day
Malthael's pants? Wierdest pants ever
Mephisto's motherfucking blade, looking badass as all hell!!!
Still need to reroll higher DMG and upgrade the gem.
Just a tip, replace your +dmg gem in the shard of hate with a crit dmg gem. You will gain A LOT of dps by doing it
Loot 2.0 among other fixes.
Sweeping wind and exploding palm will never get old so I will probably never main another class.

I go AFK for a couple of hours to let the servers cool off and I just got DC'd 80% through a rift, fucking wonderful.
1.5 loH is decent but on a Ring you generally want more offensive stats.
I have LoH on both of my weapons plus some life regen. I think I get almost 6K health back per hit. I don't have a lot of health (under 300K) but I have a ton of resistances (1700+ with MoH) so those smaller points of HP mean they are more value per point and easier to get back up.

From what I can tell, the healing stats like LoH and Life regen have scaled absolutely terrible from 60 to 70, making them stats that aren't very good or efficient. Personally I'd choose to go for toughness stat over healing stats if you are looking for something to help keep you alive.
I'm still playing monk!!

SW and its tornadoes have a 0.00 proc coefficient. Sorry dude.

So I'm running melee Wizard and its fucking fun as hell. I do way more damage than my previous Disintegrate build critting for 3 million. My only question is whether I should switch out Energy/Force armor for Diamond Skin and Ray of Frost for Arcane Orb. The former I wouldn't mind but I really don't want to do the latter as I like to be unique and not go for the mainstream Frost Orb builds every wizard uses.

Yeah, thankfully. My screen would old be tornadoes if it wasn't but that sometimes is the case anyway with packs, essence burn and Crippling Wave/WOTHF lol.
I haven't used SW as much outside of combining it with essence burn recently. Mostly have SSS and Epiphany in set slots with the 4th being Mantra. That 3rd slot and my right click swaps around as necessary.

I ran with Arcane Orb/Orbit rune a bunch as a melee wiz beginning of 2.0. Was tons of fun.
