Jade Harvester + Quetzalcoatl. Probably the strongest thing in this game.
I have 2 pieces so far, going to take forever to get them all or 5 plus a ring of grandeur.

You'll never make it before the anti fun squad nerfs that
Yup, I agree with the raiment comment. It's garbage. Same goes for Sunwuko's set. I use a 2 piece Aughild's and a 2 piece Asheara's supplemented by a RROG for the bonuses. Inna's is also terrible because it has AR for some reason. Waste of a primary for a monk. That's also (one of) the reason(s) I think Blackthorne's is crap.
Guys you just don't know... once I get the right pieces I am going to make 2H Monk with that Sunwoko set viable!
But yea aside from very specific builds, Monk sets are mediocre. A full Raiment set is outdone by a Thundergods Vigor and an Andariels. Although I guess it doesn't matter because an end game Lightning Monk build will have all 3 anyway.
The best set pieces for Monks are Aughilds and Ashearas.

First day as a demon hunter.
Damage is a little low but I'm still missing 2 pieces of gear. Spent 500 shards on various armor slots and crafted the rest. Shards got me a legendary chest armor. Too bad it has useless movement speed on it. It summons 3 wolves though so its great for keeping enemies off me.
I'm also aware that the best way to go is 2x bows for double gem crit dmg, but I haven't found a decent 2nd weapon yet. So I crafted the quiver.
+25% dmg to cluster arrow and +15% fire dmg so far. Not bad. Cluster crits for 4-6 million and fires very rapidly. I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to maintaining hatred. I'm using preparation - punishment like it's going out of style.
I'm switching back and forth between grenade and entangling shot for my primary. Can't decide.
Rain of arrows doesn't seem that great. I'll probably just throw in another discipline skill like vault. All in all, seems like a great class for killing shit quickly. When lots of flying things swarm around me, I feel a lot more exposed than I did as a wizard.

grats neoenigma, pretty awesome to get a Garwulf so early 
At low difficulties RoV - Shade can clear a screen of trash pretty fast. At higher difficulties RoV - Flying Strike is an AOE 7s stun that works on everything you can find in a rift (including the rift guardian). It almost never leaves my bar.
Unless you are lucky enough to have legacy flat CA cost reduction gear, Preparation - Punishment will probably stay on your bar forever.

I think crimson + born's is pretty good too if you want to run a epiph/CDR build. I'm still trying to craft mine though, as farming those mats is a pain in the ass.
Basically every good monk build involves using a lot of generic legendaries that all other classes have access to. That's how you know something is really wrong.
The problem I have with Born's is that it competes with Aughild's for important slots since Helm is typically Andariel's and Bracers are Reaper Wraps for many classes; hell, Cindercoat for Fire builds takes another spot too. Makes it a little awkward to slot in
I'll probably break my Asheara's 4pc for Crimson, though.

found a helm of command, time to build up my tank and do no damage sader
Maybe if I go Fire Crusader I'll be allowed to do the same. But, until then, Aughild's Shoulder + Chest / Asheara's Gloves + Pants / Crimson Boots + Belt for when I go back to Holy Crusader.
My guess is that she's using Wolf Companion plus Cull of the Weak passive (more damage against slowed enemies). So you can get higher crits if you turn on Wolf Companion, use Entangling Shot to slow and then fire a shot. That what hit for over 40 million.

Got these tonight.
Going to be costly to turn them into an upgrade each for my DH and Monk but happy to have them.

Also no +elite dmg? Maybe his friend has unity+soj?

Holy shit, that fight against

Create more characters and use them as mules. Works as long as you have slots available.

Uh, are you sure you need ALL of that? I'm sure there are some forgotten souls in there
Also, you can just create a new character and use it's inventory to store stuff.
I've purged almost everything I don't need. A lot of the repeats you see are variations on elements. I have five sojs floating around with different elements, each bracer has a different element with high crit roll, gear for thorns builds, different shields, all the crusader weapons, several different sets, elemental immunity items...
It's a nightmare.
While this is true, I think Blizzard overlooked something when removing the auction house/trading. We are much more likely to hoard things because we can't sell/trade them.
One more bank tab, in my opinion, does not make up for the lack of trading/selling.
I should note that I do not want trading/selling, I just think we should have more room.
Yea man. Having so much useful gear must be terrible.
I just consolidate all my legs into a stack of forgotten souls. Has worked out pretty well for me.

I am struggling with inventory space as well carrying different sets of gear (element / elite dmg / %skills) for few characters.
My WD for example, I like to switch between dotting / cold gear if I feel lazy and wanna dot everything and run on T1 and at times I'll switch it up to T3 pet gear.
1 is already dedicated to mats

Level a 2nd WD. Problem solved!

Well that's a neat tip.
Cindercoat \ magefist. Grrrrr!
I swear that is the ideal setup for every class.

Very thankful for the extra stash tab. I have an entire tab full of white items
Yeah, it's like they planned to make a F2P inventory squeeze and then forgot to put the tabs up for sale. Weird.
It's actually the most beneficial for the DH. Their most damaging nuke AND highest cost skill is Fire damage which makes Cindercoat + Magefist ideal. Plus DHs need Reaper's Wraps too (even though they basically have a Reaper's Wraps like passive... they burn resources so fast they need all the help).
What do you guys think about set items?
I feel like sets got overlooked a bit with the transition away from the AH and toward self-found-only loot in 2.0. Trying to assemble a set of found gear requires absolutely crazy luck. Greens are pretty rare to begin with, and there's no guarding against receiving a double. I know all drops are random and that's the point of the game, but I feel like there should be another way to search for these, especially since they often have the most interesting abilities attached to them.
I'm not looking for a guarantee, but maybe some small way to influence what you're looking for? Maybe a way to avoid doubles?
I'm not saying this because I've been burned (haven't found much of anything yet) but it was just something I've been thinking about.

If a lvl 70 Cindercoat is BIS for your particular build then a lvl 69 Cindercoat will be next-BIS and will be better than other lvl 70 options. All you are missing is a little bit of armor, mainstat and/or vit I think.

Maybe I just need a break from tanky melee classes (Barbarian, Crusader)...
I think I might start up a Demon Hunter. Are they still pretty high up there when it comes to damage output potential?

Without talking about broken stuff in the game (like WD critting for 300 million), DHs have among the highest burst damage in the game. Their main problem is survivability though.
Pretty fun class though. They have two resources unlike the other classes which makes them a bit interesting.
It's worthwhile. For DHs at least, all of the top DPSers have 2x nat set, 3x marauder set, with RROG for the extra bonus.
Getting all of the items is another subject. You might consider someone lucky if they managed to get a set item they want with desirable rolls. But for that same person to get 5x specific set items all with desirable rolls.. that's not luck. That's just playing the game, a lot. Blizzard's solution to the Auction House simulation game that was D3V has been replaced with "play the game to win". Keep playing and you will get the items you want eventually, within reason (perfect trifecta such and such on every item isn't reasonable).

So just got a Thunderfury for on my Crusader, should I ditch Heavenly Strength in favor of a 1h build?
Just try it out! Seriously!
That's what this game is all about. Experimenting with stuff and sticking with the stuff that is/has the potential to be awesome and fun.

Is there an easy way to sort and organize items? Or you just have to do it all yourself?
If it rolled well enough for you to reroll the damage to +1400 Holy Damage, you can make it a good Holy Cause weapon for a Holy build. The proc doesn't scale anyway so not being Lightning doesn't matter here.
Honestly, barring a few weapons, most the good 1Hers beat out the 2Hers since many aren't strong enough to warrant use.
I think they're great. My dream right now is to complete that lightning monk set so I can roll through T4-T6 doin 13k% weapon dmg DoTs and critting shit for 373mil dmg.
