Ah that makes sense. Thanks.
I'd recommend against opening them all at once. If you DC with stuff on the ground, it will be gone. Open and pick up, repeat.

Oh, well, T6 requiring specific stuff isn't that big of a deal to me then. Thought you just meant an in general requiring of the set.
A shame every piece of Akkhan that has dropped for me has been garbage and been given away / soul'd.

A couple of them are from when I was like still in the 60s. I probably missed out on a bunch of gear for that moment in time dammit.
While possibly true, it would also mean having 5 pieces and a Grandeur. I've just gotten the same 3 slots over and over.

So I picked up the lvl 70 version of this
and I was kind of actually interested to try it out. Its kind of lame, the proc hardly ever goes off (had it go off maybe 1 out of 50-100 hits). Pretty worthless.
With gold being such an issue, it would be fun if they made some viable alternatives to just wanting to spam a DPS build. Cool, high level magic find gear...better gold drop rate gear etc. Its not fun if the alternative to DPS doesn't really give you much benefit, it may as well not even be in the game at all.
Apologies if this sounds whiny, I guess I just like when Diablo gets a little weird and you can make these one off builds that have little to do with DPS and a lot to do with other game factors.
woah there, tiger. Goldskin isn't about the proc. it's about the +100% gold passive. When you realize you just picked up a 20k stack of gold off the ground, you quickly realize you're going to be making major bank so long as you have that chest equipped.
It's easily -- EASILY -- my favorite non-class-specific chest in the game. The longer you play, the easier it is to recognize how useful its become.
It's not that uncommon to open 15 caches and not get shit so I wouldn't be so bummed haha

%dmg is as of now nearly useless on elemental dmg weapons. %dmg only affects black damage, so the only buff you would get on an elemental damage weapon is the equivalent of a buff that a white weapon would get. The dps increase is minimal. Blizzard has stated that this is not intended, and is looking into it. I was slightly disappointed that a fix wasn't in place for 2.0.4.
They need to fix the way dots and crits work. Dot builds for WD are nearly viable, thanks to the new passive we got in ROS. But the fact that crits are decided on casts, and not per tick, ruins it. Such an unfun mechanic.

Add to this that in a heated screen filling battle, its bloody hard to spot if the haunt/locus swarm you just landed critted or not. And to make it worse if I'm not mistaken (i tested this on a single target with only haunt), a Dot crit still shows as white text making it eve harder to tell.
For physical build!
They should just eliminate crits from DoTs and make the DoT damage factor off our sheet DPS that already accounts for the crit possibilities over time. Consistent damage that doesn't require what seems to be a difficult process for devs.

I would really love it if getting sockets on weapons and maybe even gear was independent of properties limitation and something you did at the JC or Blacksmith for like 500k gold and a forgotten soul.
They are so frustratingly mandatory, it's kinda dumb that you have to reroll a slightly more interesting start to get a socket.
All those weapons that come wit movespeed or something else that's goofy (like that one sword that comes with 1.5% crit) are stats you're either going to reroll into a socket, or if you're lucky and your weapon already came with a socket it'll just get rerolled into mainstat, vit, attack speed, or %dmg...
...kinda lame blizz.

Oh jeez. I didn't even realize that could happen. Hopefully I'll get lucky on my mirrorball.
AFAIK DoTs don't crit like that. It isn't calculating the crit on the entire 1s number popups. Every tick has the opportunity to crit or not crit and then they get added together and displayed on every 1s. So you might have crit 4 out of 5 times in a second and it'll show a big number in that second but the next time you might crit 2 out of 5 times and it shows a small white number. This isn't you critting for the first 1s tick and not critting for the second, it's just the actual damage ticks didn't crit as much.
Post is a bit old so it might have changed since then, but it oddly seems like both of those cases are true. Some DoTs crit per tick, some crit per cast.

More recent posts suggest at least that Haunt and Locust Swarm are still crit on cast

is... is this a joke post?
There used to be a Real Money Auction House in the PC version, but the auction stuff, both gold and real money, is all gone now with the expansion.
It's hard to call it pay to win though, there's nothing to win. Made for making a nice little bit of cash off some suckers though.
i hope they hotfix this asap

Most of the complaints were about the AH house which was never in the console version. It is also now removed from the PC version. The game is great and definitely worth checking out.

sexy. good damage roll.
but real talk: re-roll the vit into +%damge or +% attack speed.
Yeah I'm going to, as soon as I get enough souls... In my experience I need at least 10 to get decent rolls.

We did a rift last night that was insanely crowded. I got seperated from my group at one point and was tackling three elite groups at once. I burst two of them down and was fighting a losing battle against the third when my teammates showed up and saved me. I would say we faced 30 separate elite groups in a single map level. It was awesome.
Post-patch crusader is amazingly solid and fun. It's one of the more gear dependent classes in the sense that there are some game-changing legendaries and sets. I'm playing a holy build and loving it.

You SHOULD notice more rares, but MF is only 10% as effective for legendaries, so +100% chance to find a rare is only 10% on a leg, and it's a HUGE stat loss to gain that much.

That is my build, I was running all night doing T1 rifts. I think I did 6 or 7 and ran out of hatred/disc once when we stumbled upon a champ pack hanging out with 7-10 treasure goblins. It absolutely requires Cindercoat and Reap Wraps make it much easier. 1 Globe gives me like 62.5 or so hatred.
I know my RoV is not fire based, but the damage is much more consistent over a much larger area than any of the other runes. On T1, most packs die in less than 5 seconds and rift guardians take 5-10 seconds. I pretty much only use vengeance for rift guardians or when I get 2 packs at once. I have no idea if there is anything better to replace it with. I almost never use it, but its a great oh shit button and still works even if im out of hatred and just firing normal shots.
I finally broke 3M toughness, so I might try T2, maybe. T1 is getting pretty trivial with the damage I deal.
Might be a nice boost if you're trying to farm for cash, then, given how much rares sell for.
I cant wait for a goldskin. I love GF. breaking those random pots that shower gold is so gratifying
Did they patch +% damage to affect elemental damage on weapons?
Not really. A good Nagelring + Cains set is 100% right there, 30% for group play, 41% for a topaz, you can get an okay amount without sacrificing anything really. Not a ton, but it's like a free torment tick anyways.
People talk crap about MF, but topaz in helm is zero opportunity cost for a lot of people. Cains bonus and possibly Nagelring are not bad items on their own, and only really compete against very hard to acquire stuff. 14% increased legendary chance is not insignificant.
So was hoping somebody could help me make a decision. I got Magefists drop today on my crusader which is awesome as I'm running a Fire Build at the moment and really like it. I've made a great deal of improvements on my gear since just a few days ago from getting the opinions of people who know their shit here, so was hoping for a bit more help.
My dilemma comes from the fact that the Crush Desire is pretty much the perfect roll for damage on the gloves. It's near max strength (622 of 625 max), Max IAS (6 of 6 max), CHD (48 of 50 max), and CHC (9.5 of 10 max). I mean its got primary and trifecta all near max for the item.
The Magefist in comparison has middling rolls for a good set of attributes. The + Fire damage is as low as possible (15 in a range of 15 to 20), 658 str out of a range of 626-750, 6 IAS in a range of 5-7, Max CHD which is very nice of the mystic after making me roll 20+ times to finally get a socket on Maximus, and 6% CDR.
Looking at raw values Magefist gives more strength, same IAS, slightly more CHD, and the increased CDR and fire damage while giving up 9.5% crit.
I know crit chance and damage are pretty much the holy grails of 2.0 so I'm wondering if the CDR and +Fire make up for what I'm losing in terms of sheet dps. I have +35% fire atm (20 from Maximus and 15 from bracers) and the rest of my stats are included in the picture.

Your don't have any + lightning damage, so I would change shooting stars to LFB. If youre going to stick with sentry, do the following
-Reroll AR on amulet to + cold dmg
-Reroll + phys on bracer to + cold
-Reroll ele arrow on boots to cluster arrow
-Craft new legs that have a 4th primary for 2 sockets
-Craft gloves with 4 primay for trifecta or defense
-If you don't come across a better cloak, reroll the armor into 3 sockets.
Sentries kinda suck though since they take forever to deploy. They are terrible when youre moving fast. But, just play around and find a build you like. Its easier to build around the gear the you get than try to gear around the skills you want to use.
I think it's a bit funny that people still ask for serious help like "I just dinged 70, now what?"
This game is the most shining example of the most customizable difficulty curve in gaming.
Set it to a comfortable level and experiment with your specs and gear. Just because people on here are tackling Torment 1-6 doesn't mean you have to.
I'll say that if you need to be on Normal at 70, something's probably wrong. But there's nothing wrong with hanging on expert and master until you learn the specs you like and will probably find a few drops along the way.
The game is as easy as you want to make it. And I think it's more fun to figure out powerful combos on your own and move up in difficulty from there.
When a game that is this customizable still has people wanting builds and loadouts handed to them, removing all discovery....damn.

Zero opportunity cost? I mean, if the socket is there then it could also be 23% Life or 12.5% CDR. It's possible for the latter to be irrelevant in some cases but I don't know as 23% Life falls under that category.
