Enchant it to 3?
Just got a Cindercoat on my barb...that has two sockets...why...
The 1 socket Cindercoat dream earlier for me
Thankfully, 100 AR and 450+ STR so it didn't need any other fixing. I guess this game really want me on Fire-related builds.

Okay I want to make sure I understand this correctly. Is elemental damage on weapons cosmetic only or not? The added cold damage of a weapon for instance, would add no extra damage to a cold skill then if the weapon had black or poison damage with an equivalent roll. "% to element skill" affixes only increase skill damage, irrespective of what element the weapon you are using, though still contingent on the weapon's damage numbers, but not its element.
On another note, if attack speed rolls on a weapon, that increases both the weapon's base attack speed and your own attack speed, correct? But it doesn't actually change the weapon's damage range, just the calculated DPS. Which may not be optimal if your skills are about doing big hits, not fast hits.
For example, if I were to reroll the attack speed on warmonger, the base attack speed would go down and the listed DPS would too, but the damage range would stay the same. And any single attack taken in isolation would still do the exact same amount of damage regardless of attack speed being present or not.
On a side note I hate that Maximus' proc is so good, makes switching builds/elements really hard to justify.
Standard.
I think the account bound progression model is fine, but they're missing some pieces to keep people going once they're into the long end of the gear curve. Something like Disgaea's item world to bridge the gap between lottery drops and progression.
I've been doing the rounds and raised one of everything to mid-tier except crusader. I feel I got my money's worth out of it, but things are feeling pretty dry for me. They had the "we want you to feel like you're breaking the game" line, but there actually isn't much potential for that. The combos are straightforward and pretty limited. Bleh. I'm not getting that "just one more run" feel these days. I'll probably cycle back in a week or so, gotta recharge those neurotransmitters.
Got my RoRG out of the way. Not too bad, like 600 bounties in. Monk can do 65% cooldown reduction now, but it's too much of a sacrifice of other stats at the moment. Would be fine with more skill slots.

I'm sorry.
Correct. The actual element of the damage range doesn't matter except for Holy Cause (Crusader Passive) and Elemental Exposure (Wizard Passive). Both of them take the actual damage type into account for their effects; Holy Cause only works with Holy weapons and Elemental Exposure uses the damage type for the debuff.
Currently, there is a bug where +Damage% on a weapon does not work with +Elemental damage ranges. This will be fixed ... at some point. Until then, it's only working on the base damage range of the weapon and/or for weapons with black damage.
Correct.
Edit: To be technical, there's some skills that use (Weapon Damage * APS) to normalize the damage so those skills would actually scale with Attack Speed. These are usually gated by cooldown, though, so it's not really something you run into often. And, hell, I'm not actually sure they still do this for very many skills.
The elemental damage on your weapon should be plussed by various pieces of plus elemental skill gear. I know it was bugged for awhile, but that's what's intended.
Edit: beaten by Scy!
I'm pretty sure +Elemental Skill Damage% aren't intended to work on weapon ranges. What's bugged is +Damage% on a weapon (e.g., that Warmonger's +7% Damage) only works on Black Damage weapon ranges and not Elemental Damage ranges. +Fire Skill Damage% (e.g., that Maximus' +19% Fire) does not apply to weapon damage ranges.

Okay, thanks for confirmation. I didn't think the alternative made sense, but nice to know 100%.
in the same boat as well, one full inventory of gambling I got 4 legs, 2 chsntos, 2 lights of grace. Not totally complaining cause its nice to get legs, but already use chsntos set, want my mirror ball. I fully expect it to have only +1 extra projectile when I finally get it. Ha
The hell? You got all of those legs in one inventory's worth of gambling? I just went through 7 full bags worth without a single one (as usual). Some of you guys have just amazing luck.
I know the feels.
This blows my mind. 120 hours in Loot 2.0 with my Wizard and I've seen a grand total of 3 legendary source drops, all of them in the last 2 days. I'm going to assume some of these are from gambling, and that I need to rift/gamble more.
On the plus side, I finally got a Mirrorball yesterday and the dmg output is totally sick.
It's good, Toads hitting twice are strong for crowds. Probably the best leg ceremonial knife along with Starmetal. Addling toads can be very useful if you want to go that route, given how often the confusion procs with toads exploding twice. Probably would be very useful on high Torment, but you'd sacrifice a lot of damage. The only downside is that toads suck for single targets as an enemy can only be hit once per toad cast, regardless or whether the others seek to it or if they explode a second time. But that's what we have Gargs and Fetishes for.
I noticed the Buriza no longer specifies "demon hunter only" on the piercing affix. Maybe it works with toads/etc again?
I've only had 1 ever since RoS dropped, and I've pretty much always been on torment.

Gambling is a good way to get Sources/Mojos/Quivers. Only 5 shards a pop.

That rift has The Lord of Bells as the Rift boss.
If you ever get that rift you should make sure you reach 100% on that floor so the boss spawns for you. It is rare and that boss is for an achievement if you care about that sorta thing.

Does GAF have a clan/community?
Nah that's just the Whimsyshire tileset. It comes up sometimes. The LoB rift has specific events and stuff, and I think it's always the same tileset.

Three in NA and one in Europe.
I think Ashodin mentioned culling the member list some, so maybe we'll consolidate down to two. I don't understand roster size restrictions and wish we could all roll together.

Oh. Well I'm quite not 70 yet on my first character. He is 68. Doing adventure mode, so I wouldn't be a help with hardcore rifts or anything.

We have folks at all levels, but the majority are probably working on end game progression. You shouldn't have a problem finding a T1 group to leech in, since lots of people out gear it. That should get you a decent gear setup in quick fashion.

Man i just can't get a decent head item for my Wizard, as I'm building for a close range melee fire one i would love a andariel's visage, but at the moment i would take any decent one - please ohh lords of fire, grant me a fire head item .
.How does one get into the Gaf clans (specifically the EU one)?, I've tried to get in via the community in game but i am not sure if its the correct one, no one is ever in chat and i can't get a response from the leader via whisper - is there a specific one to search for?.

Nice, can i see the link to your profile? - I'd love to see your gear as I'm going for a fire wizard.

Just standard fire gear really, today I found the cindercoat and magefist. I still need to enchant the magefist for better crit damage, the cindercoat for 3 sockets, andariels for crit damage but I'm out of forgotten souls. I also need to make Aughild's bracer for the set bonus.

LMAO!
You know you can use those Magefists for a Fire WW Barb right? And Crusader does have fire skills.
A Magefist with 20% Fire, CC (which you can roll on those through Enchant) and IAS is at least equivalent to a Trifecta glove.

Reroll vitality of life on hit into socket? I am thinking the vitality.
Currently only Yoshi, Vodh, Ryan and Tunesmith can invite to the clan, but seems only Ryan is visible from the community. I'll try to talk with Ryan to add the others as officers in the community (or get Yoshi, the clan leader, to promote someone else) so they can be contacted easier.
That said, post your battletag, as we can always tell them to add and invite you.

Cheers matey, my battletag is - TheCowboy#2318.
Where can I get some info on how to do this?
yeah, I posted a bit back a pic of 4 leg pants in one inventory or gambling. Don't get me wrong though I have plenty of times its all yellow and blue. At thing point I fully expect at least 1 leg from 400+ shards.
yup easiest way to get sources.

My barb is getting pretty beefy now.
found a 18 percent lightning dmg, 7xx str (can't remember) 8.5 crit chance necklace from the act1 cache that i'm trying to roll a good crit dmg roll on from the mysic (already about 15 m gold down the drain)
the necklace puts me at 91 percent lightning dmg, 53 crit chance , 450crit dmg , 70 percent area dmg, 45 percent elite dmg and a little over 9000str and 65 k ish healing globe (for the barb passive),
Once I finally craft a good aughild's chest (6 failed tries so far, but I saved a bunch of souls to craft many more) and reroll my shoulders I'll sit at 1000+ all resist as well which is plenty for t3-4
Just need to find a better thunderfury now and a 2200+ dps odyn or fulminator so I can replace the 2300dps cache weapon I'm using (the proc isn't that good especially in higher torments)
If I ever find a witching hour I'll drop my thundergod belt too, with so much +lightning dmg on my gear the 12 percent on the belt really doesn't add much to my total dps

Except both crusader fire skills/runes are bugged (sweep and bs) and don't apply the +fire.
Join the community rift it forward. Someone calls out their run, request invite, kill boss, open up next rift for them, leave.
