They said they only found the bugs because the community made it so clear SoH was OP, so they couldn't really let us know any sooner than they did.

Do what you're saying is...we're their beta testers?
Someone mentioned with my lightning gear setup, that Magic Weapon - Electrify rune would be more effective than Force Weapon. I can't notice too much difference with it, aside from things maybe being a bit slower.
I take it the other Magic Weapon runes just aren't worth using it?

Feel free to play another game that is 100% bug free, your options will be slim though.
SoH fix is understandable, though a bit sad. It's kind of fun to have some imbalanced items in game, wish there were more of them instead.

drops were so low that the QA department didn't even get the chance to get the item
it made it more than viable. it gave fresh 70's with shit gear a ticket to the torment show when they weren't geared enough to be there. I think build changing legendaries are awesome, but i also think shard of hate firing off lightning bolts like crazy was too strong, and apparently blizzard agrees. literally blanketing the screen with bolts that crit for 7 million is over the top. if the bug fixes balance it, and put it on the level of maximus or fate of the fell, then no one can really complain, because lightning whirlwind barb has been strong for a while, and it's not just because shard of hate. TF and odyn son are both pretty awesome for that too.. just not as awesome as spawning a volcano.
Thread title should be changed to 'back in beta' (reference to D3 thread title :lol)
All the nerfs? Nearly everything in the one balance patch we've had since release was buffs. Nearly all the drop rate tuning has been buffs. Pets have just received a massive buff. The handful of things that have been nerfed are- just that- a handful, and were known bugged/broken, holdovers from beta, or weren't even in the game in their broken state period until fixed. How can anyone look at the changes made and see net, or anywhere even close to it, nerfs?
Man I need to get a Blade of Prophecy. I thought Fate of The Fell made blessed ground cool down builds crazy (hey I like my 3 beams, but guess it was cool down overkill), but nope Manner was tearing stuff up yesterday.
Hope bliz doesn't blow up the fun build, please bliz I love my cool down spam (besides you need full set to make it decent, so we are good right?).

I just wanna say, do not think you won't get an item you want, because you will in time.
Never thought I'd get magefist but today it happened and it rolled basically perfect. An item I wanted for my fire crusader, which I thought, if I do get it, it'll be shitty, finally appeared and rolled great. Remember to be patient and...
ALWAYS BELIEVE!!!

fuck this game tho still lmao.
Getting a +100% buff to leg drop (+100% of something like .01%) rates exclusively in rifts is a lot less noticeable than logging and and finding out you're entire build/gear-set you spent weeks farming was invalidated with a simple hotfix.
Won't someone think of those poor poor AI monsters? They aren't having fun when dying. Diablo needs to be nerfed into mediocrity and all legendaries/classes homogenized and tightly balanced like WoW so we can have perfectly balanced PvP/ladders... o wait.
Could someone please have a look at my Wizzard?

I've bought RoS last sunday because I felt somewhat bored. As you can see on my profile I'm usually a pure hardcore player, but chose softcore this time because I didn't knew for how long I would keep playing. So, while this is softcore I do care about not dieing too much.
I'm really happy with my skills. I leveled with Arcane Explosion and Force Wave. When I hit 70 I was somewhat dissapointed by the new passives. There really wasn't much to directly boost my dps. So I tried to make Elemental Exposure work. Shock Pulse/Orb/Hydra and Blizzard are the 4 skills I'm running all the time. It works really great on large packs(T1-T2). I just drop a Blizzard, scorched Orb, a Hydra and walk past the mobs. To me suprise this setup even outperforms Archon on single targets.
My last 2 skills are usually Force Weapon/Armor/Teleport/Familiar and Archon. Depends on whether I'm doing Rifts or Bounties.
Since this is my first time playing SC I have huge gold problems. Most of my gold went into rolling my rares ... so I'm having a real hard time getting my gems up. I guess the good gold quests/"exploits" have been hotfixed by now?
Speaking of my items, what should I try to improve? I feel like I can't really improve my rares. Most of them are good 4 stats.
Thanks in advance!

So happy with my Melee Wizard so far

Yup. How people are seeing this shit as "OMG BLIZZ NERFS FUN" is completely beyond me. the VAST majority of changes have been buffs.

are there any new GAF clans with open spaces?
gotta complain about somethin

who is Emo-Beas?
Still getting a legendary daily from Kadala which is about 500-600 bloodshards or so. What would you expect it to be?

The worst is when you get a chest and its the wrong main stat with no sockets! Got a cindercoat with str.
Obviously broken ass weapon gets bug fixed... community too dumb to realize why the change had to go in and goes on a tirade.
Hey guys for all those who want to play with broken ass items... you should play the console version of Diablo 3.

OMFG dat 15K DPS + 3 socket Azurewrath!!! Now DAT'S A LEGENDARY!!!
In this situation the only problem was Blizzard not giving the heads up sooner. This type of thing should've been fixed as soon as someone killed Azmodan in 8 seconds on T6.

I do. The first time I got on after the boosted rifts and Kadala a few days ago I spent about 100 blood shards on Wizard Orbs and got 3 legendaries.
Yesterday and the day before I spent about 400 shard on just Wizard Orbs and got nothing but yellows.

You darn people... I can't even believe there are serious discussions like this.
Your sample size is THE worst. You spend 500 Bloodshards and variance showed it's face? Oh no, something must be wrong.
400 shards on orbs is like 26 gambles. That's literally nothing. If you expect one every time you unload that many imagine when you start going for chests, you'd be getting one every 100 freaking shards.
The average for getting a Legendary is 1% at minimum by the gambler (1 out of a hundred Rares will be a Legendary) This was taken across a wide sample and seems to hold true.
That means that if you are gambling Amulets you will get a Legendary after 2000 shards on average.
For 1h weapons it's one every 1500 shards.
For armor pieces it's one every 500 shards.
If you want a Legendary pronto then roll armor pieces as you get more rolls.

Nice! Thanks! Just wasted 6 souls trying to roll a socket though ): I'll get one eventually and try it out.

I just spent 60 shards on 3 amulets, two of them were legendary. Obviously she's been super buffed.
Playing a Monk with 856K damage and 45% extra Lightning damage is pretty sweet.. I've got to admit. I got a Thundergod's Vigor to go with my Andariel's and went all in for lightning damage.. until I tried to reroll the lightning damage on my amulet higher and got 9.5% CC instead.
Now I just need to get Thunderfury to drop.

Love how that image paints her as nephilim more than just a normal human.
Made a gimmicky shadow clone DH.
I have the Danetta set weapon that spawns clones when you Vault. I also have the amulet that spawns shadow clones when you stun someone. I am using the Tumble rune on Vault. If I Vault through an enemy I will spawn like 3 shadow clones. The ones from the Vault itself is pretty weak but the one from the Amulet are solid (cooldown is really long though).
Rest of the DH is standard cookie cutter Cluster Arrow/Entangling Shot. Just made her today, moved some pieces from my Monk. I mainly made her to farm some Act 1 Bounties, the mobility is incredible on the DH.

Inna's Temperance? That's not a class set item. Marauder's is for DH only. I read an old blue post on the forums that they disabled class set transmogs in February back in the beta because they don't want other classes to be able to don the unique look of another class's set items. It would be cool if the skin unlock was specific to the class only, not exclusive to the item itself.
I don't remember what upgrades are.

I wouldn't use those gloves even if I just turned 70. I found better rares on day 1 of RoS. Ugh.
So I found an SoH a few days ago on my WD and since everyone that was online was quite excited about it I decided to try it out. I leveled my barb from 60 to 70 and managed to gear it somewhat. The weapon was clearly pretty damn good with my WW build but I just can't stand playing barb! I went back to my WD (even though the barb was getting set item drops, something my WD is clearly incapable of) and didn't regret it one bit. Now I regret it even less.
Now to decide if I want to try out my Maximus...
Now to decide if I want to try out my Maximus...
How high are your standards? Are you wanting SoH-style broken legendaries to will themselves into existence for you? Those gloves are a reroll away from being excellent.
I also call bullshit on there being rares with rolls that high. Not to mention Firebird is one of the most sought after Wizard sets. ARRGHGH HULK SMASH!
Gamble for your weakest armor slot. Work up from there (armor, then offhand, then weapons and then rings/amulets).
Obviously if it didn't roll perfect trifecta stats it's garbage.
I swear we had this same argument yesterday when someone thought their set gloves were shit when in fact they were good.

My last 40-50 legendarys have all been significant downgrades, to the point where I just salvage them right away.
I've been trying to find a Maximus for my fire barb for a few weeks now, and for some reason it just won't drop for me. Practically everyone I know has one already. <3 RNG.
