Playing with 30ms now is crazy, even moving stuff around in your inventory and stash is instant whereas before with 190-210ms (which was as good as it ever got for me here in Sydney) it was all laggy and unresponsive.
Thank you Blizzard!

Hype levels at 200.
Use dashing strike. You an dash through walls and lasers etc and reposition. I think it's a monk necessity.

In practice I'm sure it won't matter, as you'll hit level 70 long before you'd finish collecting a level 60 set.I just noticed there's no crusader green item set at lvl. 60.
Lvl. 70 set is pretty baller though.
Uh, yeah. Something terrible is up with drops for me. I've gotten 4 of the exact same unique equipped ring in a row on my barb in 3 hours. Oh, and the primary stat has been INT on 3 of the 4. It's been great.
Seriously this shit
is why the game is awesome now. My previously tough to use build that totally forgoes all the ranged stuff the DH is known for and STILL IS VIABLE (Slaughtering stuff on Torment 2, could probably have fun in Torment 4)
This..... Is amazing. I just hit 60 yesterday on my DH and switched to this build. My gear sucks horribly at the moment but it's still working pretty well.

Still want Necromancer back. Witch Doctor just doesn't cut it.
I like you.
Literally have gotten the same 2 handed mace three times in a row. For my wizard.
One at level 31, one at 34, and one at 36.
Blizz be trollin'
Sadly they nerfed the amulet that gives you skellies
Bro is your weapon an organ attached to a chain?
Edit: Nevermind.

A couple years back I dusted off my beloved D2 and went to play my Skelli-mancer, much like that picture.
I remember waves of Eastern European gamers, inexplicably playing on US East, and giving me shit saying how my build lagged out their PCs and ruined the game.
Good times.
What were they playing on... 486's?ChoklitCow

Same thing happened to me in the US. Mainly d/c's because dial-up.

This exact thing happened to me. The first thing he said was "I told you not to build skeletons".
So of course I just built more skeletons and said "I am a necro mancer"
Thats like being mad at the sun for shining!
Can't remember if I ever posted this in the other thread, so gonna repost here.
Testing a bunch of +CS and +lightning dmg gear on my monk.
Sheet dps of ~115k which clears things faster than my ~250k dps set. Shows exactly why sheet dps means NOTHING in terms of actual dps, at least for monks anyway.

So who's fault is this whole issue with 3? Is it strictly Jay Wilson? Because it seems like the game as it is now is what it should have been when it launched.
Also, I still wish they had a gold only auction house in conjunction with loot 2.0. I think having an active economy with WoW has spoiled me, but it was convenient to be able to grab components for crafting when I didn't want to farm. I think they went a little far with all the BoA nonsense.
The only way you can access torment is to have beaten the game right?

Welcome to the Order, brother!

Blasphemy! The only way to be true melee is to forgo my brethren's ranged weapons and take up shield and sword.
Yessssss more more!
It's on the previous page just a handful of posts above that one

i'm in america and my ping is a constant 200 ms
Crafting is the quickest way to improve your sheet dps but your problem is without the AH you'll have to find the plans so it's not worth it with the limited time you have , I would just farm paragon levels while the buff is active, you can do this without "cota" farming, if you have no one to group with join a torment 3 to 5 public game
Ps what class are you ? Because ranged it's easyer to farm higher torments
I'm struggling with Loot 2.0 with my DH for now. I think I need some really good/specific drops to improve my damage. I've gotten hundreds and hundreds of rares (and about 15 legendaries) with no upgrade to damage without sacrificing upwards of 20% toughness (and even that's usually like 2% damage increase)
sheet dps is around 90k in game. Toughness floats around 950k. I guess I'm looking for RoS to start me on an upward trend again.

I didn't have much in the way of gear prior to Loot 2.0 so this is what I've gotten since.

Yeah you need some bracers and gloves. Also, get two one hand crossbows. Will be better DPS. Also, are you playing on torment?
I clear T2 fast. That's usually what I play on. T3 is doable but it just takes too long. I haven't found any 1h xbows that have better DPS than windforce. It's the only legendary weapon I've found for the DH.
Been keeping an eye out for better gloves and bracers but I lose so much toughness that it's hard to replace. Bracer is definitely the weakest piece of gear I have.
I'll probably suck it up and lose the toughness for more dps but I want it to be a good increase for the loss of defense.
Are you using any proxy? Or any VPN such as battle ping or Pingzapper?
Have you try test in private game? I'm asking this because if you joined the game and the party leader happened to be living in US then your latency around 200ms.
This is a common problem I see all the time people with low sheet dps saying they can't find upgrades , stop looking for full upgrades I.e ones the show all green on items , dps > toughness by a mile 150k dps should be easy to get with better bracers gloves helm, if you have the demon/sages craft set plans craft them if not craft 5 or 6 stat ones.

This is a noob question. If I get some friends to play this, does the game do some type of scaling if their new characters want to play with my established character, or does the game require everyone to be at a similar level?
There is no scaling of that sort; you'll probably want to make a new character to play with them, or use your high level character to quickly level up their new characters so they can join you at your level of content faster.

Ah that sucks, I thought it did. Thanks.

The difficulty scales to whoever is the host. So if one of the new players hosts the game then you can steam role and powerelevel them with your main. They will be a little behind on gear though. Depends on what you and your friends are looking to do.
The scaling is in the game though as I have started new characters and set the difficulty to T6. While having a 60 friend run through and PL me. It goes a lot slower once I hit lvl 45. So scaling is definitely in the game but there is no way for the game to average the difficulty to the group of players it is all dependent on who is the host.
Just all start over together on Hard difficulty and you guys will level like crazy and have fun together doing it.
For someone that is completely new to the game I think it's better to just play it normally and not be boosted to 60 in a few hours. You need some time to try out all the skills/runes to see what you like and come up with your own builds.
There's plenty of time to do all the loot runs and shit later on, but I think the first playthrough should be a "normal" one.
So I'd say make a new character that you use when playing with them up until they finish the game at least once and then you can boost the rest of the way to 60.

I just want to remind Yoshi-san that this should be in the OP.
LORE!
Awesome, will read.
Yes, that's correct.
The strategy I posted is more geared towards people that already have a max level character and are looking to level up some extras.
Machines are created from the keys that Keywardens drop. They allow you to open portals to the Ubers to get organ parts for Hellfire Rings.
