My luck is equally bad with the same amount of yellows as you, plus a yellow shield and ring. That said, I was able to get to 515K dps and 9M toughness from enchanting my gear.
Is that a total random drop? I need one in my life.
Act 1 bounties bags.
Salty over not getting what you want from exploiting the game? LOL!I'm going to lose it. I'm so salty. I'm so mad. Act 2 split normal for a week straight and still no gloves
HOW IS THIS FUCKING FAIR
Not a single fuck given for people who split farm bounties.
Played my Level 70 DH for about 3 hours today. Normal splits and T1 Rifts. Not a single leg or set drop.
Then I decided to casually play on Normal with my Level 35 Monk and proceed to get six leg drops in two hours. Three of them within the first 30 minutes.
Does Blizzard work some drop magic on neglected alt chars or did I anger the RNG gods somehow?

So I have Haunt of Vaxo on my Monk:

Is it worth it to switch out one of my skills for Lashing Tail Whip in order to have a stun handy to summon the shadow clone? Or is it not worth it just to trigger that effect?

Split farming bounties is considered an exploit now? lol
Technically yes because you could do similar split farming bounties in the beta and they nerfed/removed that. Don't be surprised if this gets nerfed too. This is even cheesier than chest runs.
It's fine if people want to farm that way but don't complain about RNG when you don't get what you want.
How is this bad luck?
You have 5 solid Legendaries. If anything your Rares aren't good. And your gems aren't upgraded. In addition you do not have socketed pants, another source of DPS among other basic gear issues.
What can you do to improve your DPS without relying on drops? Get higher Paragon levels (you are only 89), upgrade your gems, farm T1 Rifts and use Shards on armor pieces one at a time until you get a solid Rare upgrade for that slot (repeat until your DPS is 600K).
50 hours is nothing in the grand scheme of things. You are comparing your DPS to other people who have spend hundreds of hours in the game. If you want to improve your stats then you have to put In the work. You will see a dramatic improvement by just getting more Paragon points and
upgrading gems to max... by the time you reach P200 you will have plenty of Legendaries and Forgotten Souls.

I haven't had an upgrade for a week now, not a single item that would be good for even a fresh 70. My bad luck is really starting to take its toll on my enjoyment of the game. I also burned 20 Souls and gems today trying to fix my neck with no luck, and now I'm out of Topaz. I keep seeing people in guild chat getting good item after good item while playing less on lower difficulties and it's so frustrating.
Please RNG Jesus, tell me what I did to anger you.

I need to find something that works against frozen (that one amulet that heals would be nice). I dunno what Blizzard was smoking but why they added a dot to frozen that is stronger than the 3 listed and can explode and freeze you (And they can stack on top of that to do insane damage on higher torments) is beyond me.

I've had it happen at least five times now that I open a Rift gate, click my way into it, and then after a long loading screen get a disconnect, has anyone else experienced this? The loss of Rift Fragments bugs me but only just a little, since I prefer doing bounties anyway and probably won't run out anytime soon, but still, it's not really cool to see an in-game resource being wasted like that.
Ice Climbers, if you can find them.
Or play a wizard and use Black Hole-Event Horizon to just eat half of the elite affixes outright every twelve seconds.
That weekend buff did made me happy leveled 2 characters from 60 to 70.

And i was like this after i dinged 70 on my WD.

Yeah and when leveling with a friend in a rift my witch doctor. Had the most insane rift in a longtime. Elite groups and i mean a lot every single time 3 to 4 or even more hell even rift boss being added i was like...

So.. I really love this game now.
Thoughts and opinions on my DH gear and build at the moment? I am feeling really good about him.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Thacker-1999/hero/17080953
Some things of note however..
I love the fact everything on my DH I have found, crafted or enchanted.
Problem?
I really... really... REALLYYYYYY want a Kridershot. I have absolutely no means of obtaining one unless it drops for me however. I've gambled over 6000 shards to get it and all I've gotten from Kadala are 3 windforces... one of which I am using.
In D2 I could hit up a forum and trade for it.
In D3 I could auction house it.
I am a bit frustrated to be honest... :-/

Someone in GAF guild earlier today got a Kridershot, but said it was stupid and Frost Arrow was wack and doesn't work with any build.
>.>

You guys can laugh and joke all you want, just don't be surprised when Blizzard puts a stop to it.
Yeah, that was me. Actually, I said that Frost Arrow was wack unless you were using it with a Buriza. Because Frost Arrow by itself is pretty weak. There's a reason they are okay with turning that skill into a generator.

I just find it funny how much what people do with their game bothers people.
There isn't a better generator than FA with Kridershot. EASILY the best generator. Let me know what DH generator grants you 2m+ crits on ALL mobs it hits.

I can't tell if this guy is trolling or not about frost arrow not being good with anything but a buriza.
It's making my head hurt how unappreciative he is of the single best weapon in the game for the demon hunter.
Yeah, the main benefit of FA is that it splits and hits up to 10 enemies. And those crits get insane real quick.
Having that become a spirit generator just makes the game easy mode.
I doubt it is the single best, but it is one of the best.
Can someone confirm 'Holy skills deal more % damage' works on spells with altered elemental properties from runes? ie. Blessed Hammer with Thunderstruck.
I used to think this way when my toon friends' with similiar hours played, but now I'm coming to the conclusion that I haven't been as efficient with my time spent ingame.

Well this is incredibly disappointing...my half assed WW lightning damage + shard of hate barb is definitely better than my 1.1m dps 11m toughness crusader ;_;
Bolas? Especially since, you know, it has fire runes that aren't shit, which is probably the element you're stacking. It's sort of a problem that FA is cold considering there are exactly 2 cold runes on the entire DH class, and one of them is Rapid Fire. So you're pretty fucked on the idea of actually stacking cold damage to improve FA unless you're building around that skill entirely (at which point, again, you are probably going to need a Buriza because you're building around a low base damage skill).
Of course, you may not actually need your generator as much in AoE as you will against single targets or even small groups, where FA even as a generator is going to get blown up by Devouring Arrow on a Buriza. That has a minimum weapon damage per arrow of 585%. And has more than triple the proc value per unit of time. And isn't a fucking cold rune so you could potentially even put together some physical damage setup with a Ninth Cirri which would push the average per-arrow damage over 700% before elemental damage.
This is kinda the problem with every class except Wizards really. Monks can really only play Lightning and Fire despite being one of two classes who is supposed to specialize in Holy damage.
I have no problem with how people play the game, I have a problem with people coming in and complaining about RNG because their exploit isn't giving them the loot they want.
It's like the "oh no I put in 8 hours today chest farming Core and I didn't get my Thunderfury... better complain about it on the forums!"
You guys wanna know how to not get your exploits hot fixed? Don't talk about it, don't stream it and don't make a video about it. I myself know a few exploits in the game but I am not gonna talk about them and certainly not complain about them not yielding what I want either.

Bolas take way too long to explode unless you get the quiver that makes it instant. Even then I'd still pick FA over it even when I stack Fire gear, use FA to generate and something like Cluster arrow as a dump.
People are going to complain about RNG regardless. Again who cares. I read people whining about X,Y,Z all day. Personally I just can't bring myself to care about others and how they play the game whether that be the legit way or the less than legit way. It's an RNG game and people are going to complain they didn't get specific gear. I mean ever stop to think people get tired of people whining about others "exploiting"?

I already do that and I do run duplicates too for more cc/clear and helping keep my party members alive especially on higher torments. I just don't like how they keep adding unavoidable damage, which makes it the highest level of difficulties a gear check. This is especially true for t4 and up, where you can do fine with smart play and positioning but then you run into unavoidable stuff that will take chunks out of you no matter what.
That's the opposite of how + elemental damage affixes work.
With thunderstruck, your Blessed Hammer becomes Lightning in nature and no longer deals holy damage. This is basiaclly the primary source of build diversity in 2.0
Whatever the typeline below the name of the ability shows when you put that rune on, that's what it is dealing, that and that alone.

Got 3 legs from Kadala yesterday day including my first not Blackthorne or shitty ring set item with a Chantodo source. For some reason though it had 3 secondary stats. Is that a bug?
Nah some Legendaries can have 5 primary affixes or 3 secondary affixes. Like the Magefists for example.
There's a Crusader shield that has 9 total affixes. LMAO!

Is the hallowed set worth making as a wd? That shield makes me :/
I don't even do split bounties. I did it once and found it boring, I just don't care if people do.
I do bounties and rifts on Torment 3, I enjoy the the game itself immensely.
Think the shield is bugged. Something about the block chance I think. I use the axe/fist on my monk and love them.

yeah sorry I didn't want to put a giant picture in the post so I figured I'd just rewrite the text.

I should probably level my 61 DH. I have a Buriza, Cloak of Deception and plans+mats for a legendary quiver just sitting there. Is Buriza considered one of the better DH bows?
Same here. I don't care how people play the game, I just get tired of people complaining about stuff they get after split farming or chest runs.
I normally just do Rifts and do Bounties just to get enough Fragments for like 2-3 hours worth of Rift runs. I enjoy Rifts and I am OK with Bounties too. I honestly don't even find Bounties THAT rewarding... at least not after the buff to Rifts. After 100 caches you get like 5-6 Legendaries... the amount of time it takes to get that many Caches I can just play Rifts and get that many Legendaries in 2-3 hours plus EXP and Shards.
Yea I play on T1 which is perfect for my gear level. What is the point of chest farming/split farming? Get the gear you want from doing something that's not fun so you can be be done with the game?

I got this one lvl 69... Still use it as its hilarious with the 3 sec rune just for the horse sound and make my friend run after me in open areas haha but the other day I got the 2 hands that create 2 additional sky's fury rays so the pony thing is still in the inventory for when it's needed haha
I don't think every class should be able to build every element, but I do think every class should be able to do 3 - 4 and not just 1 or 2. Crusaders have the foundation to eventually be able to do physical, holy, lightning, and fire with some tweaking and building, and I think that's fine, so long as Blizz changes some runes in support of this.
The other end of it needs to come in itemization, not just rune design. As touched on earlier, fire just seems far and away the best element in a vacuum, with lightning clearly second thanks to its numerous procs. I know they've said they want to add more legendaries to the game via patches, so I think adding some additional support for the other elements should be one of their first goals.
