Nothing, reroll socket for CHD or CHC (whatever you lack most, remember the "1:10 rule")After getting no love from Rngesus for about 3 hours, I got 6legs in 2 minutes. Most of which were crap, among the crap however was this
What do I put in the socket for the amulet? More resistance?
For "Last Breath" I was thinking rerolling VIT in hope to get +"x"% damage, or isn't that really needed.

As far as Monks go, I don't see One With Everything as a problem. It's a great and unique passive - you can disregard it and be like every other class - stacking All Resist - or use OWE and stick with sinle resist. Sure, it makes gearing harder (or more interesting) - but it also provide great benefits at the same time. That being said, Dodge needs some tuning for sure.
Another great (and new) passive that I enjoy on my monk is Mythic Rhythm. It changes the way you play and provide a healthy bonus to your DPS output - exactly what I want from passives instead of boring +XX% to something.
On top of that, monks have two of the most fun skills in game - Exploding Palm is the BOOM skill and it scales with difficulty instead of your stats. Dashing Strike is the best mobility skill in game (maybe with Tumble) - it's so much fun to zoom around or get out of the lavafloor.
The biggest problem with monks (skillwise) for me are spenders. They have only 3 official spenders and out of them Tempest Rush is not exactly your standart spender - given it's specific nature I don't see it as a spender at all. Lashing Tail Kick is solid and obvious choice while Wave of Light is desperatly in need of some buffs. I mean, just looking at base skills, LTK is 30 spirit and 624% damage while WoL is 473+79% for a whooping 75 spirit. WHY.
Of course, at this point, basically all of the classes are in dire need of another pass on their skills. Even Wizard have its Ray of Frost. And majority of defensive skills are useless with the current "moar DPS" meta.

Hahah, my broke ass not being able to afford re rolls finally paid off. I totally forgot that I left my Reapers Wraps on a + Lightning Damage re-roll and then I got this 2H last night. At first it seemed like it was a -%30 damage downgrade (mostly because it doesn't have a socketed emerald like the weapon it replaced) after unsocketing the gem and comparing it was only a %3 damage downgrade, but with th +%34 lighthing damage and that awesome proc effect that triggers often, my new lightning crusader build is fucking fun as shit. Can't wait to try it out more tonight. Just from doing a rift this morning, it is a wondrous orgy of lighting. Going to reroll that cool down to a socket as soon as I get some forgotten souls. I already have the 50% cooldown to heavens fury on my shield so I can drop that shit constantly without that extra +10% CD.

Until I start getting lucky and getting sader set pieces he seems pretty well set up. Solo T3 is on farm and fine and I "melt" t2. In groups I have done up to T4 but that shit is a crapshoot but we always make it through and its fun.
I had some guy in my game who was telling me I need to drop my damage (in game its just under 1 mil) for more toughness and go "melee" crusader with cdr. I told him that I am not doing the whole trying to stay in champion mode thing till I get the set stuff cause I just think its kinda lame and he got real snuffy with me lol. At which point he pulled out his crusader who could only solo t2 and only do it VERY SLOW. Had 12mil toughness and like 300 dps.
Opinions are silly.
Fun fact! I roll holy damage obviously, and even a very nicely rolled Hallowed Protector does not in any way out DPS the tiny ass-kicking wolf shield. It is awesome to watch stuff kill themselves by that crazy proccing wolf shield. It crits for like 5 mil. It is my thorns replacement till they actually fix the skill. I worked hard for that Hallowed Protector though and it made me sad that it just did not make up the difference.
ALSO: RNG bitching. I HAVE NEVER HAD A LEG AMULET DROP OR GAMBLE. NEVER. Not even a bad one

I am going to roll some new reapers wraps cause i have tons of mats for them to get some good lightning ones. I still think holy is the shit but lightning with the right weapon LOOKS cool and is effective.

I was pretty much only focusing on holy for my Crusader up to this point, I just didn't have the mats or money to re roll anything to holy damage around it. This lightning build was just dumb luck. My only gripe is that it is a 2H weapon. I wish I didn't have to burn a passive with the 2H to keep my shield.
I hate it too but unless it is a wacky build I would just get used to Heavenly Strength. All of our stuff is based very highly on weapon damage and I can use a Hallowed Protector and a decently rolled skycutter to get to near 100% extra holy damage and I still ultimately lose damage. I hate it but until they give it a look at blizzard and realize whats up its really hard to build 1 hand IMO. I suppose getting tons of life on hit and hitting real fast might work but in high tiers you will still get blow to bits and be doing less DPS.

I really like your build. I feel like I'm kinda 'stuck' in regards to build until I find a few build changing items.
I have a few good items, but no 'synergy' yet. Hopefully I can start finding some items to get a build going. Also doesn't help that I'm broke.
I have 1 piece of Akkan set and 2 pieces of Thorns set so far, but not wearing them currently.

I get way too many... all I get is jewelry and weapons. My belt, pants, gloves, and helm are still crappy yellows because I just can't find armor. I've got about 6 weapon sets that would all be pretty fantastic.
They should really take a look at the movement penalty to Heavenly Strength, it's bad enough that you are almost required to use a passive skill for it... the fact that you're constantly lagging behind your party takes enjoyment away from the class. Would movement speed really make the class OP?
I'm full of amulets and rings. I drop like 3-4 rings and 1-2 amulets per session XD
I have a few nice items sitting in my stash that I can't use because they need re-rolls:
Dawn
Cloak of the Garwulf
a couple belts that would be usable
I need more souls! T1 rifts just aren't dropping as many as I need. Going to bump it up to T2 and even though the clear speed is a little slower hopefully the drop rate makes up for it.

Figure out which belt you really need and you'll have a few more soul ;P Unless you are a FF character, one belt is probably enough.
Yeah. That's the hard part. I've literally scoured my stash, salvaging every single legendary that I can but I still have a few pieces that I can see being useful with a good re-roll. I'll take some screenshots later and get a collective opinion
Help me salvage some of that crap.Impeccable

Few updates on my Witch Doctor [FireBomb specialist, pretty much the same spec I've used since launch +-]
The Queen Bitch
Pretty amazed by my Sever and Nemesis Bracers, still really need the Devastator plan or a Burning Axe of Sankris. Other than that I'll have to get a better Magefist and kind of figure out what set would benefit me the most, I'm thinking Helltooth.
Also need a Fire SoJ.
It's funny how when you think there isn't much room for improvement that when you stop and think about it ... there is always room to improve.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Ultimate respek knuckles for that Asheron's Call character name.
The move speed thing is annoying in solo. In groups it makes people really start to cop bad feels at you. Especially DH, Wizard, and Monk groups that want to fucking FLY and ignore most trash till they find packs. That move speed crap would be a major quality of life upgrade that would in no way cause a game breaking issue.

Can someone give me a quick down and dirty on Witch Doctors?
Good builds? Skills/runes so good they should be in every build?
Any particular stats to aim for other than the common stuff (int, crit stuff, resistances, etc.)?
Are their build options super gear dependant?

When you have every other class looking to fly it really does drag down the class for no reason. Monks dash, wizards blink, DH tumble, warriors sprint. All of those skills are heavily built into those classes for efficiency. Really hoping this gets changed soon. I'd like to use my crusader but can't get into after playing a monk, feels like i'm playing in tar all the time.
I take it you are trying to re-roll holy damage on Scourge and on your bracers? Once you do that I would trade fervor for Holy Cause and start spamming FoH divine well. You have lots of + holy especially with that SoJ. You do totally need a rad shield though. Wolf shield is a game changer but lots of the leg shields can do some nice stuff for you without much effort.
Lucky for me my groups I have done high tier with know that they want my law DPS buff and my huge DPS so they tend to wait up or kite back to me. Still makes you feel like a broken wheel though.

I completely agree. The fact that you have to burn a passive just to make 2H weapons even plausible on your Crusader in the first place sucks, making you move like a slug is just insult to injury.

I have 57 CDR and was dicking around with this build last night. Really fun. I'm not sure how much more juice I can squeak out of the build. I'm gonna craft a borne's and crimson set piece to get me to 77% CDR and continue playing around.
At the very least it's a lot of fun. Epiphany around. SSS and serenity when epiphany falls. I have those hexing pants, but I'm not sure if they have good synergy with the build. I have the reduced CDR weapon for SSS and it's effective while epiphany is up too. Especially for elites and bosses. SSS stops my movement though. So my damage output drops during a skill that's supposed to deal ass loads of damage. Since it's +25 while moving and -21 while standing, it ends out being a 40% reduction in damage out put.

Diablo 3 has done a good job at dangling the carrot in front of my demon hunter. Progress since starting it on the 18th...
Day 1: Decked out with rares from Kadala + Garwulf
Day 2: Nat's armor (Rift) \ Danetta's Revenge (Class-specific Malthael drop)
Day 3: Stone of Jordan (a really good one from rift)
Day 4: Danetta's Spite (T1 bounties)
Day 5: Pride's Fall \ Ring of Royal Grandeur \ Magefists (rift boss)
Day 6: Reapers Wraps \ Nat's Boots (rift)
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/jim2point0-1220/hero/42736492 (was screwing around last night which is why multishot is in there)
Progress will definitely slow down now though. I don't see myself getting a Cindercoat any time soon. Would really, really, really like Nat's bow + Kridershot but those are also going to take a while.

God damn. Your DH is stacked. I'd be blessed to even have a quarter of the gear you have. Looking damn good.
If you are feeling deprived, feel free to check out my profile and you'll feel better.

Thanks for looking!
You're exactly right, I'm trying to stack holy and I've had back luck with rolls on Scourge and bracers. I keep going broke, but I'm going to keep trying.
I'll try that with the skills and see how it works, especially after rolling Scourge and using Holy Cause.
And yea, I want a good shield very badly. I have 2 legendary Crusader shields, but both have meh procs and don't beat my rare in terms of damage and defense yet.
The firebird set gets a lot of shit on the forums, but its a not THAT bad. I think the three pieces(source, shoulders and chest) I have for my alt fire/cold wiz biz are pretty nice. The extra revive bonus added because the ring is awesome. I also love how it looks

Yes. Hexing pants unique item.
+25% damage and resource production while moving, -21% damage and resource production while standing.
It's basically a great barb WW item, but also good for tempest rush. Where I'm having issues is tossing SSS into the build since it stops my movement.

I got a BlackFeather from Kadala and was tempted to try it but didn't want to swap sockets. That proc sounded pretty sweet. Would go really well with awareness.
Since I don't have a kridershot, my biggest gripe with demon hunter is that their hatred generators are all really boring to use. And I still need them since I can run out of hatred really fast right now. Pride's Fall helps but there are a lot of sources of unavoidable dmg in rifts that break it.

Has anyone done any hellfire ring crafting? I can do T1 pretty easily and I was thinking about just making sure I clear the keywardens as I do bounties.
I'd just be doing it for a ring for a Witch Doctor which I haven't rolled yet and for something different to do.

Found me one of these while spending Blood Shards trying to get a Mask Of Jeram for my Witch Doctor, actually found a Visage of Giyua too in the same pack of 100 or so blood shards.
I'm going to use Andariel's Visage for my Wizard. What should I reroll? Unfortunately the rolls aren't that great but it's still better than what I was using.
I never get good plans to drop, always crappy Legendary plans that are 99% useless. Seems like everyone and their grandma are getting Cain's and Aughlid set plans. I did get Asheara which I am using as a stop-gap in the meantime.
Also, what is the best balance for % physical vs fire for WD using a pet build with Vampire Bat + gargantuan are fire and Fetishes are physical. I need to get a SoJ, not sure what element I want.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/jrcbandit-1115/hero/40908507
I also need a level 70 MoJ, but I do have a level 70 Tiklandian Visage that seems rather useful for Torment 3+. Is it really rare, it seems like it would be more useful than a MoJ at high Torments with perma fear/root with decent CDR (socket diamond) + Thing of the Deep/GI.

Check out my DH. I have evolved beyond the need for a kridershot. The only reason I would use it, is if it rolled higher dps than my cluck eye which would be damn hard cause it would have to roll + dmg or over +1480 damage (still wouldn't use ele arrow though). My build was pretty doable without the Prides fall helm, but you really need Ccoat and reaper wraps for it to work without a Krider. I was bouncing back and forth between MS - Arsenal and Twin Chak before I got the PF helm, but now I just use MS-A. Twin Chak is still really good for clearing spread out trash and then use CA for tight groups and elites.
I haven't used a generator since I got my Ccoat at level 60. The downside to my build is that it limits you to lower torment levels. Since I only have 3.5M toughness, I cant really go above T3 anyway. The upside is that shit dies instantly in T1 or T2. Most trash is 1 or 2 shot by MS, blue packs take 2-3 hits, and yellows take 5-6. I would really like to get a lvl 70 Ccoat and SoJ because Im missing a good bit of dex from those items being 60 and not being able to reroll my Ccoat sicne im out of tears.

Not important--in order to maintain the passive you'd have to shoot ES every 3rd or 4th attack depending on your attack speed, which is a big net DPS loss.
Yes, ES will slow a single target.
For all of the DH out there, what's the best weapon setup right now? I have a Danetta's that I'm up to 2 million every time I reroll trying to get a socket. Are the crafted bows any good? I'm sure some of it is relative to the roll but trying to see if one weapon type has an advantage.

Sigh, shouldn't play with the mystic when extremely tired. Went to re roll a legendary ring requiring a flawless imp topaz and I rolled the wrong stat. So annoyed with myself. Worst thing is I got the roll I wanted to so if I had clicked on the correct stat to roll in the first place it would have been perfect.
Loaded question. Anything can really be viable:
1H + quiver (higher crit chance, fast hatred generation)
2H + quiver (higher CA damage, good crit chance)
1H + 1H (higher crit damage, fast hatred generation)

They now calculate set bonuses into DPS. They don't account for the ring of royal grandeur though.

You honestly need a better Amulet more than anything, one with fire damage. Well aside from a Cindercoat.
