My Mirrorball rolled with perfect crit chance, high intelligence, 4 arcane power on crit, 2 extra missiles and I put arcane orb damage on it, but the damage is pretty middle of the ground. I kind of don't like it because it refills my arcane power so fast that I don't feel like I can even consider using another source.

Super bummed right now. Found the 1h axe that gives + to fire. Two of them actually. I salvaged the garbage one. Then I tried to get a socket on the other. I was a little tired though and somehow salvaged the axe instead of a shield for the soul. It would have put me at close to 100 fire with about 30 to cyclone strike. My cyclones are buff right now (especially after epiphany) but this would have made em better!!
O well ... Another day.

Your mistake is in assuming that I didn't have fun doing the chest runs. Trust me, I most certainly did. The runs are not braindead runthroughs just to open chests. There is a certain amount of crowd control involved. And the most fun part comes when you hear that unmistakable "clank" sound and an orange or green beam shoots up to the sky.

You'll find better as the stats on stuff scales quickly as you level ... the secondary effect is nice but you will want to change out for the sake of stats/armor.
Likewise you can always get that at 70 again.
Guess what.. That most fun part exists when you kill things and level up as well!
Fuck this shit. I found one for DH (had dex and elemental arrow affix) while playing my Wiz. Why you troll me Blizzard?

Played a fair amount of T1 and T2 rifts today and it was pretty dry. 5 legendaries if you count 2 souls and a crafting item.
It has been pretty dry all week actually...and supposedly it was hotfixed today to increase the drop rates?
Ran enough for about 600 blood shards tonight. Also never managed to get a legendary or set piece from gambling since it went live.

Yea Fire Walkers are awesome boots for a +fire% build that I'm currently running on my barb. If I find a good pair of Ice Climbers I might replace them though.

Would anyone on EU like to run t1 rifts or spam act2 bounties (for the act2 caches which can drop the gloves that make pylon buffs last for 10 minutes and are awesome)
I've got a 1.38m dmg wizard so the runs are really fast (biggest problem is running out of rift shards when soloing <.< )
add me if so : Finicky#2766

I do not doubt you having fun, but you are becoming a TREASURE GOBLIN in playstyle, looking for places to open chests
Now that the Core is done, what next? Trying to open angiris bascets or whatever they are called in Act IV? Then bargaining in front of the big monster in Road To Alcarnus? I'm really liking the "new" Demon Hunter. I've tried playing it again pre 2.0 and just couldn't do it but with RoS I'm really digging it again. I also came around to Epiphany on the Monk and Vengeance. I initially avoided them because of the longish cooldowns because I figured I'd be better off using spells I can use whenever I want/need them. But both of those are amazing to have for elite packs or bosses. Vengeance in particular is a fun skill to have and looks amazing shooting arrows and nades.
Now I just need to find a nice legendary quiver and get a socket in to my Raven's Wing.

So...why do crusaders suck so badly? Mine hit 70 and was immediately at 600,000 dps and 7m toughness and doing T1 with ease. I don't even know how to play it (I powerlevelled and quested) and it seems totally fine. Slash hits very hard, sweep doesn't, but overall the damage seems 'fine' to me.
I mean this has been discussed over and over but if you want a quick breakdown it's that playing Cru feels like a slog compared to other classes with all the best abilities on long cool downs, poor wrath generation and shit spenders.
Most people do not have 600k dips when they hit 70, you must have had some gear banked and ready for max lvl

Crafting mats I assume? Look up what named mobs drop them, then constantly make Adventure games and see if there's bounty for said mob. If there isn't, quit and reload. That's the way I farmed 3 Entsteig Plates (Aughild set) relatively quickly.
I'm glad chest runs are gone though. I psyched myself into doing them for a bit with some fellow Gaffers the other day, but man, it's the skinner box distilled into its purest form. Literally like a mouse running through a maze clicking a button over and over again because 1 out of a 100 times there's a reward. It's not fun or engaging. I'm glad that's gone, despite getting a couple decent legendaries out of it.

Sigh. Wish I knew.
Guys I'm dying against Elite mobs way way too quickly. As soon I get a bit of elemental damage I die.

What's wrong with my build?
Which gems should I socket in the available slots?

Did someone say unique sources???
I also have the plan for the Teleport source
Anyway, the reason I came here tonight. I didn't get the GOD roll that other wizard did, but I'm pretty happy about being able to replace another piece of level 60 gear:
How the hell did you find so many sources just one week in?
I do not even have those stats on my main Wizard, so yeah.... perspective, I guess
Eh...It was like an average 2h and a bunch of hand-me-downs from my barb. It's not good shit by any means. Sweep is weak compared to hammer of the ancients, but slash hits vastly harder than Frenzy, so I don't get the bitch. Wrath generation feels fine. It's no wizard, but what is. Also, it doesn't take multiple other active shouts to get those stats unlike my barb, so I can have those and still have a law, akarat's champ, condemn, judgement with 80% (!!!!!) crit against mobs I use it on? like, that's ridiculous burst potential. I'm thinking a CDR crusader is going to be pretty beast.
Damage mitigation is more important than hp so socket some diamonds cause your resistances are incredibly low. Most of my characters have around 1k iirc.
Thank you for that valuable input. I kind of suspected Toughness is not really accurate to what happens ingame. Vitality should not increase your toughness value as much as it does right now.
Can't wait to try my new fire walkers as it seems to do more dmg than I thought.
Should I craft the highest diamond tier or its not worth it and should just go 3x Marquise?
Resistances are low, so maybe some diamonds in your armor would help a lot.

Does the skill % increase of Army of Fetish affect those Fetishes summoned by Sycophants? I'm assuming no.
Should be just those summoned by the actual skill.
Are the resistances low for Crusaders or is my equipment flawed by design (despite not having gems, I'll socket some)
If you're swimming in gold go for it but just socketing some marquise level diamonds would be a noticeable improvement. Rerolling vit into all res on some items wouldn't hurt either.

That's what I figured, I'll do a bit of google-fu in a bit but thought I'd ask here first.

so guys...
I'm a witch doctor at paragon level 51,
preety nice character, I like him.
I can't decided which main skill attack I should use.
the decision is between those:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#clUdQY!WTbV!Zbcabc
and that one:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#glUdQY!RTgf!Zbccbc
the main diffrance, well the survivablity of the firebats one is not that good, but it's very rewarding, high damage, BUT and it's a big but, it sucks against bosses and enemies who moves a lot, or teleport because I need to to pay the initial mana each time and it runs over.
the second build is more focused on one enemy and doesn't do that good against mobs, but it has better survivbilty and is much better against moving bosses such as maltheal.
what would you do? or you have any better builds?

Your gold would be much better spent rerolling stats on your gear to AR, gems are the biggest gold dump in the game by far. The cheapest thing to do would be to reroll some stats on your rares into AR, you could lose some vitality or healing and be fine.

So I was looking though crafting some sets to get the most of the Ring of Royal Grandeur, only to realize that most Items worth using require not only farming for a white item, legendary materials and souls, but also a FLAWLESS ROYAL GEM. come on, talk about overkill. Combine that with the low chance of getting something even remotely decent your first crafting try with 6 Random properties ... just nope.

So many of the crafted sets require Flawless Royals, I can't see myself ever making any of them because there's no way I'm gambling 9mil per royal in the hopes of getting 6 good random properties

Yep. Crafting with the Horadric Cube in D2 was a lot more fun. Just stick to legendary items for now, there are so many good ones you don't really need to craft.

So after ditching the Crusader and going back to my neglected Monk, I could farm T1 but it took me to lonk to take down Bosses and was dying regularly from Elite encounters, so as a Monk what numbers should I be aiming at to farm T1 comfortably and melting everything Normal style?

Anyone have any recommendations as to how to improve my Wizard and what gear I should look out for? A bit of a noob when it comes to all the min-maxing discussion:

You want +cold damage and +arcane orb damage on everything that can roll it.

your rings could be rolled for dmg or crit dmg. I would rather take Magic weapon (20% dmg rune) over hydra too
You'd probably want one of these as your helm. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/andariels-visage
I agree with Ikuu that you should probably decide to commit to one element, seems like you're doing mostly cold damage so try to find more +cold damage gear too. If you plan to stick with arcane orb, get arcane orb damage as well (I started off with relatively the same build but once I got a mage fist I decided to try an all fire build)

That is an old list. Tal Rashas and the other class sets was made torment only quite recently. One of their first attempts at improving torments desirability since release. Here's a list I found. Only set items you should get outside of torment is the Blackthorne's Battlegear and small sets such as Chantodos Resolve and Shenlong's Spirit.
PSA: Don't buy items from Kadala trying to get the end game set pieces.
Then Marquise gems will suffice and Mystic rerolling of healing. Vitality. Got it!
EDIT:
This just dropped. Just what the doctor ordered!
Replace either your Hydras or Frost Nova with Magic Weapon (Force Rune) and change your familiar's rune to Sparkflint
