I agree. I went from being extremely bitter and quitting Diablo to loving it with the release of RoS. I just got back into it recently. I only stopped playing RoS just to play something else for a bit.
There will definitely be more expansions...the frequency of their releases however will be typically Blizzard like.
Well, make sure you start doing rifts as well since that is probably the biggest part of the expansion really. At least in terms of time investment, you'll spend much more time running them (and in the upcoming patch greater rifts) then you will doing just bounties.
I can't find the materials needed to do a rift, or I haven't been able to unlock one yet.
You need 5 rift key fragments to open one up (click the pylon in town next to the blue ghost guy). The only way to get fragments is doing bounties.
Been really wanting to find someone to do those specific high XP bounties with. I really wanna reach at least p250 by next weekend. I'll be 200 tomorrow but it's not going fast enough for me since I'm ridin' solo!
The problem is that everyone's either focusing on farming keys on Normal, or doing RIF for shards and loot. So when I tried to make a group for completing rifts together, that didn't really work out (people left right away).. people only care about RIF and RG kills.
Guess I'll just have to spend tomorrow farming keys so I can join T6 games for RG XP~ I always end up being the one to open since everyone's p500000 already. lol

Join the community "Bounty Runz" and post exactly what you're looking forward. Might take a lil time to find someone, but you will eventually.
As for me, I'm sitting at I think 254 Paragon. I'm running T4 Keywardens right now tho so I'm not making much progress. Trying to stockpile those keys. :B

i would do some of those with you. i am pretty sure my wd can solo them so we could probably do the hell lrift one easily. balddemon#1627 i think. post here if you're on so i know .
Me and my collection of Baleful Remnants say hi.
Cost me 30m+ gold, but I finally got CDR on mine. Now it just sits in a neutered state until 2.1 drops and I can throw a socket on it.
Yowch! Hopefully it was a 10% roll!
Only 9%, but at that point I was elated.
I'm already there.. can't seem to find what I want, no matter how much I try.
Awesome! I'll sign on right now and add you.
Lawd have mercy...
Also can someone explain this part of the upcoming patch? If there is specific loot I can only get with a seasonal character, would it be in my best interest to make a seasonal character for a class I am already playing as to get different weapons for my main?
That's my plan. Unless of course the Crusader legendaries are all garbage, then I guess I'll pick someone else.
But that involves more waiting! I think most of us are pretty tired of waiting by now!
lol, well the point of the season is that everyone starts fresh. Since a big aspect of it is competitive the only way to do that is by putting everyone back to 0.
I believe the phrase "can't have your cake and eat it too" would apply here, except I think that's a stupid phrase since it implies that all cake eaten in the world is stolen cake.
Well at the end of the season, all the seasonal legendaries will become part of the loot pool, so you don't have to

I really only want a Serpent Sparker. Everything else is just icing. The healing changes are enough, and you know, Lightning's improvment actually makes it decent.
It's not MM w/Firebird, but nothing else is anyway. The Firebird Gloves giving fire damage would be nice.

I'd really like to get one as well for my wizard, but I have less hope of it then I do a real mirroball at this point.
How does the Firebird set stack up on the PTR now? Worth using? Still best with Mirrorball instead of the the Firebird source?

Meteors being buffed.

Seems ok for anyone who doesn't have 6pc firebirds set bonus. The delay just makes the ability shitty so maybe Lightning could get a use.

Doesn't work that way. When you turn in the quest the rift closes and you can open another. The portal is exactly the same in every town (meaning if you open one in Act 1 you can enter it from any other act).
Rifts are randomly generated, so it doesn't matter which act you play a Rift on. Once you finish a rift, talk to Orek to receive your EXP/Gold and it will close the rift. Then you can keep going and open a new one and repeat the process.
In a rift I believe the legendary drop rate is twice as much as opposed to not being in a rift
I wonder how Tal Rasha Starpact version will work. Sounds great though, meteor was pretty blah.
edit: Oops, forgive my double post

@Jaetch @wowjason62606 @CM_Nevalistis When you proc it it'll give you extra damage based on how much Arcane Power you have. Won't spend any.
That sounds potentially really good.

MB still wins in my eyes. That + Hydra's buffs have made me change my build on live to get ready. Survivability is quite high.
Oh god, I made a WAHHHHHHHH sound really loud. But it's only about two hours!
Can monks get that same treatment for WoL? Pretty please? It is the same designer after all...
Monks fixed yet? I've abandoned the game a couple of months ago since they pretty much ignored them.
Hey guys!
Ayu here, with another stupid question.
How does lvl60 T6 compare to lvl70 T6? If you had to put it as a lvl70 difficulty.. would it be more like a T4 or T1, etc?
I haven't played this way in forever, and I recently joined the Power Level community and want to help them out sometimes.

Nope. I've played monk non-stop since release and can honestly say that monks are currently weaker than they have ever been before (based off current PTR changes which are as follows):
EP nerfed to a % of weapon dmg
OWE removed and replaced with a way shittier version (30% of any secondary resist)
Dodge from dex removed
Dex now = armour 1:1 ratio.
StI now an offensive passive that gives ias if enemies > 75% hp
All +armour runes/skills removed, so other than shitty harmony (OWE replacement) we don't have any defensive passives other than useless dodge ones
That passive that gives -dmg taken if cc'd removed
Base spirit increased to 250. Passive spirit regen skills buffed
TR channeling cost tripled with a small dmg increase. New flurry rune on TR can do decent dmg
Empowered Wave buffed to the same dmg as other bell runes (960%?) and changed to holy dmg
Some generators now generate more spirit
2-hander dmg buffed, making Sunwuko set usable (finally)
Fling Side Kick rune on DS (the stun one) removed (why???) and replaced with an ias one
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head
Monks are currently weaker than they have ever been because they had their Exploding Palm gimmick removed as well as their OWE/STI passives nerfed or removed in exchange for Dex being a better stat.
They did get a lot of solid buffs all around but it basically just highlights the fact that Monks were a poorly designed class that centered around EP to be competitive.

I agree that the changes highlighted problems with monk that EP hid. So I'm cautiously optimistic they'll continue to tweek.
Monk is still one of my favorite classes, but he'll be taking a back seat to both my DH and WD whom both are T6 capable come the patch. Which is a shame really.

At the time I was T3 capable, I was running my friend through T6 powerleveling. I'd say it started to get difficult around lvl 62 or 63, and damn near impossible at 65.

Look forward to next ptr update Monks! http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/13423172406?page=32#637
This all sounds fantastic so far.
Mantra of Salvation is going to be replacing Time of Need rune which almost everyone uses for Mantra of Healing.
Really glad that they replaced the Albaster Gloves as they were completely shit.
The attack speed buff was a long time coming as well.
I think the next thing they need to address is that Monks really only have 3 Spirit spenders (4 if you want to count Exploding Palm). I was playing a fresh Wizard the other day and it was crazy how many Arcane spenders they have (seemed like they had over to 10). Monks REALLY need a new move or some other old move be completely reworked into being a Spirit Spender.
