Sell your rares, I hover between 20 and 30 million by selling my rares
I'll probably be back to 30 mil by tomorrow

Healing stats are very undesirable to have on gear atm. Which is due to how badly it's scaled from lvl 60 to 70. At lvl 60 it was around 2½ more effective than it is at lvl 70. So overall you'd be much better off getting more toughness to help you survive. For healing you can then rely on potions, health globes and your templars abilities.
Buffing the other classes is a much better solution to wizards being too strong comparatively to those other classes.

If you get a mirrorball (wiz source that can give 2 extra magic missiles) it literally triples your life on hit. I just got one, put my paragon points in loh for the hell of it and took it on a test run through t5. I can actually see my health globe jump up at points.

Glad to see what they've done with the Crusader; shield bash getting the respect it deserves. Was really hoping they'd up the attack speed on zeal slash rune as crush is currently way better. I'm all about attack speed for the life on hit and wrath regen, plus my crusader is holy damage based.
Well, you'll want to actually wait until Tuesday to make sure. I still think that if they do nerf FO it'll be the same way they nerfed Ball Lightning originally, which won't get found via data mining since these are compiled from mined text strings. Ball Lightning's tooltip never changed, they just split the damage per hit in half because it was "expected" that each orb hit at least twice as it passed.

After 11 flawless imperial topazes later, this is all the higher crit dmg I could get. Not entirely happy with that as it's 10% lower than the ring I replaced. But DPS went up because of attack speed.

I can't comment for him but I get gold via a bounty in act 4 that's relatively easy to complete in Torment 6. It rewards 420,000 gold. I can complete that in under 10 minutes.
It's "clear the hell rift." Requires that you kill all enemies on the 2nd level. If it's "Kill Sledge" or "Kill Hammersmash" I create a new game and check again.
The enemies there are pretty easy to avoid so I never really worry about dying. The only thing to worry about is if Sledge actually spawns on the 2nd level. His "jailer" ability actually does dmg when it locks you in place which is the most bullshit thing in the entire game because it's impossible to avoid. Free dmg. Good design, Bliz.

N00b time:
Hey guys is there some kind of a guide to Enchanting out there? Every time I take a look at trying to enchant something, my eyes glaze over. I don't know what stats are preferable to others. Certain stats you always want to get rid of in favor of something else?
Thanks!

Let's not bring logic into this sir.
I say Blizzard breaks the class that most follows their overall goals of build diversity for RoS because.
Personally, I just sell all yellows I get from rifts instead of salvaging them. Nets me ~100k gold per full inventory per rift on top of the gold found in there. I make a few million gold per day running rifts.
Gems are RIDICULOUS expensive, but keep in mind you basically only have to craft like, a half dozen of every type of gem ever. Way less unless you play tons of alts or want to craft a ton of set pieces that use them for some reason. I think it's a pretty fair sink, the highest tiers of gem are VERY substantial upgrades, gives you something to work towards that will always make your character better.

Shard of hate has changed my life. I can now do T2-T3 and melt down the mobs. Before this I had to use every cooldown and WoTB to get down elites/bosses. Pls dont nerf.
Yes but not only BiS, it turns them into killing machines. Without either one of these weapons barbs hit like wet noodles.

Agreed. The only issue I have with the costs is how it is structured. The Marquise to Imperial step should be much cheaper. They could shift the costs up the chain, but that step should be cheaper. After I made the Flawless Royal gems that I needed, I just stopped moving Marquise to Imperial. Imperials drop and I already have what I need, I am not going to drop 100 million gold to upgrade gems when all I need to do is wait for the Imperial gems to drop.

What is your APS, CHC and CHD?
I'm gonna do that as soon as I have some mats.
I was using Disintegrate as a spender along with some Frozen Orb (my +elemental dmg on the equip were -and still are- all over the place; before the mirrorball and a change in neck it was like 37% arcane, 25% Lightning, 23% Fire, 20% cold), though I switched to using Wave of Force after your post just to see how I'd like it and I'm finding it even better for how I'm playing.
I'm just going to need some legendary materials though to reroll the Mirrorball, since I burned all the (little) leg mats I had to reroll a socket on that Wizardspike below I had in my backpack for a couple of days but that I didn't identify until tonight.
It ended up being a little worse than the weapon I was using before, but that effect is too cool.
Now I just need to find how to find those cool +20% Fire damage gloves I've seen posted in here to keep advancing on this road.

Man, why are you guys getting these great 1H but my shitty wiz can't get shit.
I've spent enough time in II and III rifts but still no usable 1h leg for my wiz

Yep, DH still worse than Wizard in almost every way.
Less DPS, less survivabilty and only a little bit better mobility.

The survivability especially is just so bad comparably. Wizs running around with 7000-8000 int or so have amazing extra 700-800 ar. Meanwhile.. 7478 Dex grant me whooping 34.44% dodge chance at lvl 70.
Yay, only 2 out of 3 attacks completely destroy me.

Never followed patches from the start, but was there not a point when DH was the best? I really wish wikis were as informative as LOL.

Yep, the first few weeks after Diablo 3 Vanilla startet.
Then they nerfed Smoke Screen and Nether Tentacles ...
now DH are still squishy as hell, but don't make up for it by having more DPS than other classes.
I don't say DH are really bad right now, I like playing mine. But you don't get much in return for being the squishiest of all classes.

DH is starting to come along nicely seeing as it is my first one to cap in HC and only been playing him at 70 for a night.

They had infinite smokescreen before because a set gave them insane discipline regen. But I guess that would be after wizards got nerfed because they had invincible archon bug and force armor where wizards had 0 vit, slight health regen and dps making them gods in vanilla inferno.
I didn't build a full fire cluster arrow dh yet (I have a 60 cindercoat and not much else) but from what it's been sounding that might have the best burst atm. Though the most annoying thing of being a DH is trying to regain hatred and going pew pew with those tiny hungering arrows is the least fun part. Though running preparation with the hatred rune is definitely nice if you can rotate it and your discipline usage.
Can't believe Haunt is getting buffed that much. 50 mana basically makes it spamable to make sure everyone is Dotted. My Quetzalcoatl helm makes haunt and locusts do double damage. 4000% weapon damage in 6 seconds, continuous with the passive for haunt? Holy crap! Add locusts and my belt that adds 80% slow to enemies affected by locusts. Another 1500% damage over 4 seconds, continuous.
Something like 1000% weapon damage per second to everything on the screen with really slow moving enemies makes it a great kiting build.
Also, I've noticed that Frozen piranha rune makes Grasp of the Dead a completely useless ability now. Stronger slow with a 15% increase in damage inflicted on enemies with the same recast timer and radius. Add that passive to make it a permanent 15% damage increase against them and Grasp of the Dead ends up with no place on anyone's skill bar IMO. Piranhas look cooler and have way more group utility and stronger slow effect.

Passed 500K DPS / 5.4 million toughness on my WD tonight.
I've hit the point where pretty much all slots are min/maxed enchanted rares. A lot of the Legs that drop aren't even upgrades, at least out of the box. And I generally don't have the gold or materials to re-roll Legendary stats very much at all.
Sooo after a steady and satisfying upgrade pace, I can now expect to be stuck with what I have for a while. Which is fine, given that it's enough to comfortably get me through solo Torment 1 runs. Seems like this plateau was likely intended by Blizzard.
I spent literally all my millions in gold and mats - I have 50K gold to my name is all. So I'll probably just relax and experiment with builds, run some rifts with friends, and help to build that gold total back up.
EditL And of course become an alt-o-holic. Who needs other video games?

Haunt Now costs 50 mana (down from 200). Now deals 4000% weapon damage (up from 1465%). Now deals the damage over 12 seconds (up from 6)
Think you are missing something. It is a buff, just not as much because of the 12 sec.
Why have monks been CONSTANTLY shit on since vanilla? I remember reading patch notes every update from 1.01 and anticipating that elusive monk buff. It never came. Some sad shit. Dont know why I have stuck with this class for so long... SoulRelease#1241 to see my gear on US

Thanks for posting. I'm teowind in D3 and thought I'd share my input on this since we've ran many hours of this during the weekend.
Toughness and speed are key in these runs. You want at least 25M+ in toughness for things to go as smooth as possible. Also try to get as many escape abilities and speed boosting abilities as your toughness allows. You need no damage, so an item with only toughness boosting stats are better than a balanced item.
Stick to the same areas from run to run so you find out how the layout is most often generated. You want as little backtracking as possible while completely clearing the map.
The droprate has varied from awesome to meh - the first hours we did I got about 7 legs/h, but yesterday it was much less.
These runs require a lot of attention and can be quite taxing doing for hours at a time. Make sure you're taking breaks or you'll start to get sloppy.

Thanks for these. Do you (or anyone familiar with this run) have any recommended toughness and equipment choices that help raises that and mobility?
Also is the 6/7per hour from group or solo?
Dem datamined patches.
I have been using Sweep with the Lightning rune lately as a Wrath spender. I find a good way to mitigate damage is paralyzing the shit out of mobs while doing damage.
And now it's getting buffed? Hell yeah.
Wrath generation is still shit.
Equipment still comes skewed towards Vitality and Strength. We don't want more Vitality as a Crusader, we want All Res.

soo got to 60, I don't have the money this month (or the next 2 maybe -.-) to get RoS, so none of that fancy adventure mode and rifts for me
kinda wondering what's a good place to farm some legendaries, because from I'm seeing lvl 60 yellows don't get much better do they
also legendary weapons can go to hell, got now like 3 weapons in a row, none of them that great, I do have some other slots to fill game!
had a green plan drop, that's set stuff right? but when i learned it I found it's a 30 something belt, how come this drooped with me being 60? I thought it's supposed to drop level appropriate gear
and going that frost orb build on my wizard was hilarious, I used to have problems with bosses in expert with my old shitty build, with this I'm doing master easier than I did expert before ^^

I assume the legs/hr go down significantly if trying to run this solo?
Also, are you or anyone else up for running this with me? I have a Wiz who ran T6 Arreat Core pretty efficiently with virtually no deaths.

Yes, into socket.
See my post above.
The beauty is that since you all farm different areas, you have a chance for legs to drop there as well. Mathematically you'd get only 1/4 of the legs compared to a full party - however yesterday i got 5 out of 6 legs from my own clears.
