Yeah, I know. I guess at least that makes new drops potentially exciting again for items that we thought were already BiS. Does the 5 primaries apply to all legendaries without a special ability, like even set pieces?

Seems to be select items
Also the samalarian's gift (not sure if i spelled right... from memory) will give a socket to unsocketed items... giving every helmet, ring, amulet, pants, chest, off hand? and weapon a chance at 5 primaries.
Just have to find it, though and be SURE you are using it on something you will keep
It really just depends on the rarity. If they're super rare, it might be more valuable to use on a ring/amulet if you also have a legendary gem. But the option is certainly nice. Now I just need to find a nice FotF so I can have strength damage cooldown and socket.
Not sure what that means. Does it just mean you can have 5 "clear this level" or cursed chests, and no "kill so and so" quests?
Yup
Of the 5 acts in the game im playing now, only 3 of them have a boss quest
Before every act had 1

I tried out fists of thunder seeing as it got a buff. What the hell? It feels like casting bash at 1aps
Cold monk looks like it would be cool. I already have Frostburns which should synergize nicely with the new passive. I just cbf playing monk though. It feels so shit.

From dfans datamined stuff:
I'll Equip Depth Diggers and proceed to tear shit up if those are two are really in.
Edit: I know about the Wand, but I haven't seen anything about the second.
MM getting 50-100% damage? lol

anyone currently playing PTR? iso friends lol..able to play t6
Yeah it's garbage. DPS on it is nice for sure, but it's so slow, and the proc coefficient still blows (didn't proc my furnace once in 30 secs of constant attacking) so I doubt I'll be using it other than MAYBE for the 3rd hit of a generator combo with combo strike.

So after last night I did some crafting to get my DH to about 750k dmg, all I want to do is to be able to start farming T1 so I can start getting some good drops. I can finally do T1 but IMO things are taking way to long to die for it only being T1 and having 750k. My crafted gear isn't the best but I'm out of mats atm. Here is my profile if anyone can see anything obviously wrong that would make a big difference. Ty

Pick an element to go with (Fire/Physical is good for DH).
Craft new bracers with +element damage on and craft new shoulders - the rolls are low and at this point you dont really need +skill dmg (especially spike trap...) same goes for pants and belt.
Get a socket in your weapon, an emerald will boost your DPS significantly.
Your armour needs replacing, one socket isn't good enough, try to craft a new one with at least Dex and Vit, if you can AR/Elite damage and then roll for sockets (armour isn't as important due to 2.1).
Farm A1 bounties to get the Ring of Royal Grandeur (lowers set requirements by one).
As for skills, get rid of ambush, it's really not helping at all - you'll get an enemy down to 75% health... then? The passive is useless.

Try something like that, its far from perfect but you should find that it works a lot better. If you still feel squishy, change the rocket passive to awareness until 2.1. Note that not all of the skills are Phy/Fire - some need to serve as utility/provide better build synergy. You could swap out Vault for Smoke Screen (Displacement) for CC immunity.

Ok, thanks a lot
I'll just keep farming all the mats I can find to replace the crafted stuff with better rolls.LMAO!
Monk nerfs incoming (more like Rimeheart build).
No way anyone should be normally able to get to 100th Rift.

Are there any decent builds I can use to get reacquainted with monk? I have some decent lightning gear but no 1k storm pieces. I have enough stuff for a fire build stacking cdr but crafting was unkind the last time I made an attempt.
Anything new open up?
edit: I believe that was done at level 1. The highest legit solo is DH at 38 or thereabouts
it was a level 1 game.
That's strange. Not sure why it's rated with other lvl 70 games then.
Rimeheart build requires switching to Furnace for RG or dragging trash packs to RG to explode on it, neither of which are possible on greater rifts (unless you can TP to town and gear switch, but even then that last 1/4 of RG's HP would take forever)
@Toasty: Well, Raiment set with jawbreaker seems to be our most viable as of right now, but failing that I'm thinking maybe an old school dual or tri-gen build with combo strike, SW (apparently the buffed dmg is nice), EP and combo strike might be worth looking into again.
I think you make a game with a level 1 char and then switch to lvl 70 char.
are you fcking kidding me i wasn't picking those up in the last GR i failed ugh and I was very close too

Anybody here use Skype/Mumble/Vent/etc when playing? I'm looking for more buddies to talk to while we play. Game is too lonely otherwise, lol.

Once upon a time people were active on the GAF mumble, but last time I tried logging in was when the game first came out. Might be worth shot here's the specs:
Yeah I went there but it's been dead for a long ass time. (For Diablo)
I dunno, that's still pretty useful all things considered. Weapons are unusable without a socket, no way around it.
Yes, but the best parts would have been on everything else
Getting one affix vs potentially gaining 8 affixes
Hell. I'd love if the item opened up a socket on every piece of armor tbh. It's the essential issue with build diversity and every damn thing in this game is structured to be as cookie cutter as possible
Your boy here would love to chat while playing with others, any voice chat service is fine with me!
Shoulders for sure since leg shoulders are uninspiring. Other slot depends on what other options you have for those slots

This is like saying saying, "weapons should all drop with high base dmg" as well. RNG is gonna RNG.
IMO the bigger issue is the emerald being slotted 99% of the time.
Occasionally, I use Skype! It only depends on whether I'm home alone or not.

Hey if you're ever in my group, which you have been in the past, I'll give you our mumble info. We're pretty talkative while we play.

Yeah...I enjoy wizard but I'm ready to it up until blizzard decides what to do. The new wand is teleport like wow thanks for another soul leg.
Now I know how monks feel.
I'll game with you..my social skills aren't the best though.
Well, I have a Mirrorball so I'm not using a "spender". That won't impact me much. The MM dmg increase and Depth Diggers synergy is nice for that purpose, as well.
It's a lazy solution that further funnels Wizards into one of two builds, though. And if greater rifts are really that much more difficult, giving MM Wizards a little more damage is not going to help them keep pace in T6, much less greater rifts.
Yah, teleporting constantly does nothing to improve group efficiency. If it doesn't have good cooldown or elemental damage bonus, it would only weaken existing builds, as well. Even the ring that adds all rune effects (if there is such a thing) for armor is not going to bump SoJ or RoRG from the required items list.
I'd like to see other items that really are effective in Wizard builds, but at this moment I can't see myself playing Wizard in greater rifts, even with a 40% arcane Moonlight Ward.

Teleport wand with Teleport Calamity skill means you can constantly do AoE stun...but you need resource reduction. But that move takes up casting frames. Only can combo with explosive blast...but what's explosive blast without WoW?!
Why on a wand slot!??! fucking hell.
So many wiz leg to fix. Go revamp Jang's Envelopment FFS. Totally useless Wiz leg. Velvet Camaral...uber rare? useless..
I'm a WoW/Archon wiz. The inital AP cost doesn't impact me as well..but it sure impacts our other wizard brothers! This change is so rage inducing. WTF were they smoking?

You'd need a hell of a lot of resource reduction to get over the 25 AP cost. Calamity is only 1 second of stun, as well. You're looking at, what, 4 or 5 teleports, maybe 6 or 7 with resource reduction? For an entire 6 or 7 seconds of stun? Why not use Black Hole instead with a lot of cooldown reduction? Heck, use a two shot combo like Black Hole first, then Frost Nova.
Yes, I agree on the initial AP change. Did anyone anywhere ever complain about Wizards being able to cast Arcane Torrent without an initial AP cost?
Maybe the change is in preparation for some sort of legendary combo? Who knows.

Use with Cosmic Strand? Double the use? Oh wait...how does the wand even work with Cosmic Strand? /scratches head
But yes, it's GARBAGE as it is....like most wiz legs.

That's a lot of slots and a big loss in damage (Mirrorball) for a combo of very questionable utility. I dunno. Maybe a party of 2 Wizards stunning constantly could be useful. Why do that when so many other classes have simple crowd control solutions, though, or even over Black Hole / Frost Nova?
