Turn on Elective mode from the menu. You can use any 6 skills, their category doesn't matter.

Completely agree. I was disappointed to find out I have the lower level version of the plan. I was getting ready to craft the set.
I found this... is this accurate for basic calculation purposes?

My long term plan is to craft Aughild shoulder + helm, Asheara gloves + bracers, obtain Blackthorne's chest belt, pants and the Cameo for the arcane immunity.
How good is the follower join proc on Asheara's set bonus? I can craft the boots too to obtain the full set bonus, but I'm pretty sure Ice Climbers is BIS.
The Follower join proc is INSANE especially if you have the "Followers have all Skills" Legendaries for all 3. Plus you equip all of them with powerful Legendary procs (like Maximus) and you become a one many army.
The 4 set bonus is definitely worth getting, I would even get it over Ice Climbers (if it's trading Immobilize immunity for the 4 set bonus). Of course this is assuming your Followers are decked out appropriately.

Been using it for about a 2 weeks and would say it's pretty damn good. Make sure your follower's got the gear or it won't mean much.
I would not want to confirm this or speculate too much, but I *THINK* that when the Asherea proc summons your follower, they not only retain their gear and damage and skills, BUT they also gain your crit damage bonus like all other summoned beings.
My basis for this? I have seen summoned followers RAVAGE elites, sometimes taking off more than quarter HP's by a single (yellow) hit. I am not 100% sure because those could have been a stack of Arcane Mines (they have similar power for hard hitting
), but I could swear that I have seen this happen without loose mines laying around.

I have all three of the "All Skills" Relics so I get a lot of small passive buffs just by having them around. Plus, they're actually fairly well geared so they add a decent amount of damage.
Easy to farm? I would like to subscribe to your newsletter, good sir. I've been farming four straight days for Asheara's legendary mat and it only dropped once. The bounties that have the ghost uniques are pretty damn uncommon (Festering Woods, Cemetery, Oasis). It doesn't help that the quests in the Cemetery and Oasis don't always spawn, so you're just wasting time wandering. Festering Woods has, like, one ghost unique out of 20 runs. Any other spots I'm not aware of?
I mean, rarity of the drop doesn't really factor into this, does it? Asheara's has a checkpoint you can utilize in the story + it's just the one guy (and maybe a few adds) so it's pretty easy to do the fight on T4-5 for the drop. For Aughild's, you just make games over and over until you see the quest. Have friends on voice chat also doing that and it goes by a lot faster.
Tomekeeper and Archivist in Archives of Kulle also drop the Aughilds piece I believe. Four days? Are you farming on normal or something? It's like a 30+% drop rate on T1 now for crafting mats.
The mob for the Matriarch's Bones bounty in the cemetary drops it also.
dat monday being a friday
Yeah, I'm playing on HC, which is why I want the Blackthorne's four set bonus in the first place. Whoever said legendary mats have the same drop rate as Death's Breath is lying. Seriously, I farmed the Asheara's mat on Master (which should make it 1/4) and I had to kill the unique 10+ times for it to drop. Not gonna try farming Aughild's mat on Master or higher, since there's no predetermined location for the unique to spawn.
Asheara, sir?
A few days ago, I decided to farm the mat needed for that.
You do not need bountie, you do not need anything. You just keep reloading that one place (Dahlgur Oasis, Act2, go to the bridge, and kill the 100% spawn rated unique there. He will drop it).
After three hours of farming, I got 9 materials from him, and a random legendary. Torment 1.
Well, dunno then. Matriarch's Bones + Fecklar's Ghost / Hawthorne Gable + Archivist / Tomekeeper are the bounties I look for when I reload the game. Doing this with at least one other friend makes it a fairly fast process for getting the bounty and then we can do the kill on T3+.
And Friday is my Monday!
Just some additional details for anyone considering this- do the quest on story mode for this and, after you kill the spawn, have Kulle open the aqueduct just past him. Walk in and you'll get a checkpoint from which you can easily restart and backtrack onto the bridge for access.
i would love to use aughild but I have a helm + chest from tal rasha. And the bracers from malthael are too good to give up, also. Doesn't matter anyway since I have yet to get the set-1 ring.... (I wear Asheara as shoulders+trousers)
I'm at a point where I feel the grind: I have so many good items but if I want to improve I need exactly a very certain kind of item that is very hard to get (soj, Tal rasha, frostburn, triumvirate) . I think I will play less and not be so driven to farm the next legendary... otherwise I might lose all the interest.

Thoughts? Trying to become the Thundergod but obviously either one will be replaced once I find a Thunderfury.
Think you need Shard of Hate to really make it ridiculous, but yeah.
Of course they do. Lightning WW is all the rage now. TF + Odyn Son combo is legit! You would then need a Thundergods Vigor Belt.
Sledge Fist WAY better than that other weapon. Just get a socket in it, remove CDR affix.

I'd say get rid of LPSS. Pretty insignificant with the health we run around with these days. Plus Epiphany up time
My findings today. Huge damage gains from these for my lightning barb!
Still no weapon though. I have a good lightning build going which would turn me into a monster with a Thunderfury or Shard. At this rate, I don't think I'll get them for a while. I may even get my hands on the Immortal King set before either of those swords so my build may change drastically.

8% CDR is huge!

So. fucking. jealous.
It's funny because just one week ago everyone is saying how OP Wizard is and how weak Barbs are and now it's the Barbs who are clearing higher Torments with ease while everyone catches up.
Also, is this true about the Wizard sets? Are the other class sets really that much better?

Interesting. I thought that in the Cavern's of Frost, it was a placeholder spot between either Zelusa or Chiltara, but according to this screenshot apparently not! (Chiltara is a pain in the arse to get to pop..)
Either way, it was a pretty productive day for my cold build wiz
Got these two:
Not perfect rolls by any means, but it meant a huge improvement for my non-sheet cold DPS.
Monk has the best sets, hands down. You'll probably be able to clear torment 10 with the lightning 6 set.
Random drops
I've gotten 3 of them so far (Fire, Physical and frost)
The physical one has +30% Damage to elite, max str roll but vit. I'll probably reroll it at some point.

It's hard to just find a single piece of a set. I've played this game so much since RoS released. And I've only found 1 firebird and vyr set piece. Both of which are average set pieces that pretty much suck compared to the items I'm already using in those slots.
Alright I did some Shenlong Fist set bonus tests. I know that guy who heads the Diablohub page wants some information on it.
Here's what I gathered (the math will obviously be off, can't really scientifically get values for stuff that is based on RNG):
*The actual chance of getting the fireball is fairly high. I was getting it once every 2-3 hits, I would say around 40-60% chance. I know this is a big range but the best way I describe the chance is "often enough".
However the reason that it doesn't come out as much as one would think is that it's on an internal cooldown of around 2 seconds. You can never have 2 fireballs on the screen at once for this reason.
The way I figured out that it was the internal cooldown which was limiting the proc was that I basically hit the air until I got the proc off (which usually happens immediately) and then I stopped for like 3 seconds before I started again. If you do it using this method you will realize that the actual chance is high but if you keep attacking you won't get it again until like 6-7 attacks due to the internal cooldown.
*The fireball pierces (will never stop going, goes through everything) and is able to crit which scales off of your own values. It's doing around 5 times the damage of your basic auto attack (I used a skill that was 109% weapon damage) so somewhere around 450-500% weapon damage is my guess. The range is good but it's very narrow. The fireball will also proc even if you aren't hitting an enemy so you can use it as a pseudo ranged attack but it will come out at specific intervals due to internal cooldown.
Basically if you are critting for 500K damage (unbuffed by any other source like skill damage or element) then the fireball will crit for 2.5 million. It's a very solid off sheet DPS boost but it's really only good against single targets, AOE is pretty meh.
*The damage of the fireball does not seem to be boosted by any element from what I could tell. I tried 4 different element amulets of around the same dexterity/crit damage so that the value wouldn't be altered that much and it was doing the same damage as all.
Didn't really check if attack speed impacts the speed of the fireball or if it does more damage if you have more attack speed (some skills like Backlash scale off of attack speed).
Not sure how much of this is old or new information. I would imagine that most of this is known and people would just want confirmation about what has changed from the original proc (if there is any change at all).

Yeah it really is! =D
I'm playing since release and I got just a tals belt with my wizard, and 2 parts (that are horrible rolls) with my crusader...
Yesterday I played 12 hours straight and I just got an upgrade for my wizard through the Kadala Gamble, which was a Mirrorball with good dps/stats and 2 missiles bonus...
But 12 hours was too much for me... so I'm taking a break from the game this week... Playing some offline games such as FF X HD Remake on PS3 and Infamous second son on PS4
Does that really say +6-7 damage?
It's a display issue for the armory.
I finally got my Mirrorball +2, it's rolled pretty meh but still a massive, massive eDPS increase, despite sheet DPS going down 120k ish.
Indeed.
Too good.
I've got two Blackthorne pieces then just random pieces for sets here and there.
Was kinda surprised when I pulled Manajuma's Gory Fetch from Kadala. (Had less than stellar rolls on it though.)
Just got this.
mite b coolChanged Holy damage to Lightning with one roll
It sucks that the legendary effect doesn't actually work yet. They need to fix this.
