question: has ANYONE here gotten a legendary from a cursed chest/shrine? i don't think i've ever seen one. i never skip them though because i feel like they might drop one someday. to me, they just don't feel like worth doing. most of them are easy and don't even give anything good.
they should make them a bit more challenging and offer better loot. right now it's just kill 100 enemies or 5 waves. what if it kept spawning more and more until you failed and each wave gave better loot chances?

I know them feels, been trying to get a mask of jerams since they buffed pets. All I want is to feel like a D2LOD skellymancer again
(((((I have also been trying to gamble for Tasker and Theo. Had no idea that they got that crazy buff until a few days ago.
You mean the patch bonus to pet damage? Or is there something else I don't know about?
No offense, but 500 shards isn't that much to hope for an orange. I've dumped well over 10,000 into her by now and have only gotten 2. One was a cindercoat, so I can't complain. I wish I could turn my ridiculous stash of good wizard weapons into armor though, found an awesome Slorak's Madness and some other stuff last night that is just going to sit in my box.
I wouldn't even try to get a weapon from kadala. The pool of items is too big to have a decent chance of getting something useful. I tried it once and got items for all classes, at least with the other mystery items I mostly get stuff that's relevant to my class.
What do people mean when they say they've been "looking" for an item. I thought item drops were completely random. Do certain mobs have a higher chance of dropping a particular item?
+40% attackspeed for pets on tasker and theo maybe?
I should also mention this is the 4th time I've done this for 1H. Out of 4 full stacks of Shards, I've received 2 leg 1H which were useless.
I've had better luck with other gear though. I remember I got my Blackthorne's Chest and Legs in the same stack of shards. I also got my Firewalkers from Kadala.
But damn.. Kadala just doesn't wanna give me that extra DPS.
Royal Grandeur drop from ACT1 Horadrics Cach, so you kind of can narrow down your farm.
My advice is don't waste shards on 1H weapons for now until they let you choose which type.
They hear us loud and clear, pretty sure they will change things up.
Oh right cool. I did'nt know that. Cheers.
It can always get worse.
I have spent thousands and thousands of blood shards on Kadala and I have gotten ONE legendary.
Well, I'd consider you extremely lucky with Kadala in that case. That's way way more than I've gotten out of her. I've been trying for Magefist for a week now and haven't gotten a single orange.

Heh, I was doing the same thing. 700 shards later, I got one worthless crown and I don't even know how many yellows. At this point they just need a toilet beside Kadala so I can just flush the shards, at least I'll know what they're going towards.
lol okay now I feel bad. I've had 2 Magefists drop for me from Kadala....
EDIT. Actually it was 1. Another was from rifts.

Have bats, yes, but no locusts. Have a great Rhen'ho Flayer 1-handed knife that does Plague of Toads heat-seeking missles w/ double explosions (have fire toads on this, they jump all over the screen and seek out targets and explode) and rolled extra fire damage on whatever equipment I could as well, including the knife. With the bats and the toads, I'm about +70% fire damage, I think. Melting T1 for the most part.
That's a good point and actually I just noticed that my Fate of the Fell rolled with 3.7 wrath per sec, which actually supports the build quite nicely.
Are there any other slots besides a weapon where wrath per sec can appear? Crusader Shield maybe?
Only weapon and shield afaik. You can get up to 6 wrath/sec in total.
So far I have done 1155 total bountys and got 2 RORG total. Seems to have a super low drop rate compared to the amulet, bracers and shoulders in Act 1.
All of mine have Rolled

Vit
Ias
Rerolled stat to CC/CD.
I have probably found 7-8 Leorics Ammys and 4 sets of Sanguinary Bracers.

Ughhhhh I had no idea sets shared the same unique resource for crafting. I crafted another pair of Aughilds Gloves by accident, I thought all set pieces had unique crafting items
The good news is that you learned something!
Not sure what game you guys are playing with the bad luck kadala. I have found plenty of upgrades from her without an issue. Yes there are times where I go through 40 rares before a leg, but it's the easiest, most straightforward legs in the game. Need better pants? Spam pants, etc. I found my awesome danetta's revenge with black damage and a socket off her, we're homies for life.
Bounties and Kadala are Blizzard's current answer to mitigating RNG. These things didn't exist a little while ago, now they do. Back in my day I had to walk uphill both ways in the snow to get a decent leg.
Yes, I was doing a T1 bounty fields of whatever where Ghom can spawn from a cursed chest. Either he or the chest dropped the DH set gloves with the smoke screen bonus. Plenty more I'm sure, that's just a recent one.

I know I need better jewelry, but I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on my skills or the rest of my gear outside of find more legendaries.

Yeah. It's not TERRIBLE though. It has 7% attack speed and 5.5 crit. 280 dex in the socket. It's actually only 0.5% less dmg than my trifecta rare.
My plan is to try and go from 5.5 crit to 40-50% crit dmg once I get the 3 piece Natalya's set bonus (7% crit).
Next up is farming for Pride's Fall. Still dumping shards into Kadala but still no Cindercoat. I'm at around 5000 so far.
Yes. It's a cute little gimmick. I used to keep it in my INV for funsies but eventually salvaged it.
Before I gave up spending shards for Ice Climbers, I had collected about 6 Firewalkers. Pretty sure I got 2 in 1 batch of 500 before.

It's not an exploit so this probably won't be in effect (if at all) until the next patch.

Think of the text as this "when you use X skill, also stun nearby enemies for 6 seconds", its really one hell of a powerful amulet when tied with a skill that can be put on a lower cool down with some cool down reduction (like WD BBV and the grave injuctice passive)..
Ughhhhh I had no idea sets shared the same unique resource for crafting. I crafted another pair of Aughilds Gloves by accident, I thought all set pieces had unique crafting items
Aughild's doesn't have Gloves so this is very confusing.
For most classes, it's just not a worthwhile stat at all. Or, at the very least, not worthwhile at all to be gearing on slots like Rings.

Finally! Arcane turrets be damned. Bring on the purple discos. I'm debating rerolling the VIT, I can kind of use it right now. Maybe I will reroll it later, I am not exactly flush with cash and wasting the gem and money on it right now probably isn't worth it.

Early game its quite handy to have, however once you level up and get decent enough paragon points i find it a worthless stat to have on items. You can get what you need in regards to health regen with the points instead, i use the paragon points for HP regen and use the item stat locations that would have been for LoH for more damage/resist/armour instead.
That's awesome. :O Too bad about the rolls.
Haha, sad lesson
sorry it was the bracers not the gloves, oh well, onward and upwardSnkfanatic

What would you all suggest I put my Paragon points into as a Wizard? I have been doing Intellect, Crit Chance, Resists, and Area Damage.

That is the exact same passive setup I used for my disintegrate build. I used slow time - timewarp instead of black hole. More dmg to enemies close to me and some defense added in. Black hole is fun too though.
Can't really say much about the gear. Spend shards on sources at Kadala until you get a mirrorball
You'll love it.Maybe me being with a Wizard main messes up my perception, but with that, T3 is playable due to the amount of LOH I have (coupled with 7+ mill toughness, hah. 1200+ all res, ~72-73% armor, 450k+ hp, and 13-14k LOH or more, and you get back all your health insanely fast. My triple teleports (wormhole unique+aoe damage-stun rune) heal up 300k life within a second. It is absolutely and endgame stat to have, for me.
For me, it is LOH/LPS/IAS/Movement.
I'm still a little confused since Entsteig Plate is still only used for the Aughild set and not for anything else.
From a Crusader perspective, it's essentially a useless stat to me. My Wizard sees greater survivability with LpS over Life on Hit as well since the proc coefficients in general aren't the greatest.

Yea I think you were the one that recommended some of this to me. I'll give slow time a shot.
Good call on the mirrorball. I was debating what to go for, that sounds good. I have some other leg sources, but they aren't good rolls. The teleport cooldown resetting one is fun, though.
I might keep rolling my chest to see if I can get reduced damage from elites, but it's getting expensive now.
It is Tuesday, after all.
Dat hyperbole.
If you kill stuff fast, might as well have Life On Kill, since it doesn't take up a primary affix slot.
Anything that Im killing fast enough for LoK to be relevant is unlikely to damage me enough for me to need healing. Its in those rough champ packs where you get 2 at once in a rift or something that sustain shows it value. Whether it be LPS or LOH, or a combo of both, they have their worth in high Torment where things don't just fall over dead in 12 seconds.
They have added stuff like Thunderstorm that you cannot really 'dodge' or 'outplay'. You eat that first tick of damage regardless. Same with the frozen AoE before the explosion/freeze, and Jailer.

I love that after getting this
my Templar follower already has better sheet damage and toughness than my DH that has 120+ hours on it. Drops have been way kinder to my Crusader than my DH. The leg sheild with 50% cooldown to Heaven's Fury dropped last night and has been amazing. A bit more cooldown on Paragon and armor and I should be able to have three beams out almost constantly.
