Sorry, it was just the photo you posted with tons of Xbox/PS games. ( ´；д；` )
You can add me, if you want! But I think I'd be the worst to play with due to timezones, depending on your schedule.
Is the target for CDR% really that high for full AC uptime? 73%? I thought 55% was enough for full?
The CDR scales so even though if you add up your CDR on gear it will be 80%, it will show up as around 50% on your gear which is what it actually is. The higher you go the harder it is to add more CDR on your character.
Otherwise it would be possible to have 100% CDR with some new gems in 2.1.

The key thing is that each piece reduces from you current cool-down value. So. if the cool-down time is normally 100sec., with 10% reduction it is now 90sec. If you add another 10%, it is 10% of 90, which brings you to 81sec for a total CDR of actually 19%, not 20%.
It's not very intuitive in the game.
Ah, thanks, I see. Guess I'll have to live with a few seconds of downtime for AC. Not sure it's worth the diminishing returns.

just in time to provide distraction from PoE's big day.
We'll find out for sure tomorrow.
Will add you later.
Yesterday i had one of the best drops for my crusader.
Can't wait for 2.1 so i can reroll the socket to CDR and applied the new item of the vault, whose give a socket.
Now you can play the game.
Bounties, Rifts...
I recommend you, save keystones, join the Rift Forward communities and join rifts for loot/exp.
Did adventure mode all the way from like level 66 -.-
Just did a few rifts etc..and what is this community you speak of?
My profile: https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Sarcasm-1161/hero/50768812
What stream is this and what time is it starting?
edit: nevermind found it, http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/15198719/
The communities are where people make rifts and then shout for people to join in.
Usually the lower paragon or the last one to join open the next rift and then leave game/party.
You join the rifts for drops and shards, plus T6 rift completion are 63M.
Also you should join Crusader March, is a Loot Share community for crusaders, good to get equip.
That is... wow. Amazing.
Some blue made a post on the forums regarding some "design philosophies" of patch 2.1.
I am sorry but that has to be the longest yet most useless post I have ever seen. I really hope tomorrow's stream isn't going to be retreading these "design philosophies" over and over again.

Can't wait to hear what they have to say about gems and grifts. Some are good, most are whack.
If it's anything like the past few streams they've done (where they just played the game and hung out basically) it was mostly just them tossing ideas around more than anything. According to the announcement though they will be answering questions people submit, so it's unknown what we will get out of this I think.
Personally I'm going to skip the stream and just read the diablofans notes.
Right as I made a post apparently there was another Blue post where they said that Greater Rift Trials will allow you to skip 6 waves at a time if you clear quickly. This will definitely make it smoother to go into the Rift you should be.
There really isn't much to be said about GRifts and Gems. Gems previously were supposed to be this absurdly strong, infinitely upgradeable items but Blizzard has since made a 180 on it. That's because it was clear at the start that gems would've been 100% mandatory in Jewelry so much so that a single gem would have ridiculous impact on a character strength (when one gem is doing the bulk of the damage of a character you know something is wrong). Eventually they had to scale back the gems to a point where making the choice between a gem and 100% CHD or 10% CC is actually something that you have to consider. I would say that right now Gems are still mandatory on Rings just like how Emeralds are mandatory on weapons but for Amulets you can definitely get away with not having a Gem in your amulet. The only exception is if you have one of those 5 affix amulets or if you manage to get a perfect 4 stat amulet and you roll the main stat into socket (EXTREMELY rare to do that).
As far as GRifts are concerned, I feel like they have to make better efforts to minimize the randomness. Right now on the Leaderboards it's actually very close among the top ranks... Monks lowest at 37, WDs at 38, Barb/Wizard 39 and Cru/DH at 40. Many Monk players have said that if they get good mob density they can break 38 and be in line with the rest of the class. Likewise the Crusader guy who got 40 kinda got lucky with his density and was able to break it. Also mob types has also been an issue. Enemies like Corrupted Angels have been a huge pain in the ass on GRs. Any enemy that you are forced to skip because of type just to make the timer needs to be checked again.
The thing I want to be addressed the most is the Monk Lightning set. It's now completely irrelevant thanks to SWK being very strong. Blizzard has to talk about that set now because it is absolutely ridiculous that a 4 piece set is vastly out performing a 6 piece set. That set needs a complete overhaul and while I don't expect it to be changed in 2.1 they need to think about changing it for some future patch. Even a hint would be nice at this point.
Double posting but important.
I was randomly playing 2.1 PTR right now and they completely hot fixed the Greater Trials now.
Trails now go up faster depending on how fast you clear them... I was up to 30+ wave in no time. And the wave you finish at you get the key for like 4 less than that so I cleared wave 32 and I got token for 29. This all happened pretty quickly so this is going to make getting back into GR action much, much better now.
An excellent all around change.

I uploaded an avatar and the forum auto resized it. The original image is a quite more large.

That is an amazing change. Saves sooooo much time compared to when we were getting a GR24 token at wave 35.
A much more user friendly too for calculating CDR can be found on BoG: http://bannedofgamers.com/index.php?cdr/
It lists all skills for all classes and will tell you your exact cooldown length based on your CDR input on each piece of gear
That's what I do. Some crafted equipment can be quite good and you burn through materials faster than you might think. Bracers especially are a killer.

I use that one as well, but you can't put in 25% for the helm.

Not necessarily, no.
Amulet
Rings
Depending on the roles for items you have on those slots, it may be a long, long time before you find something that is a straight-up upgrade. I'm *still* using this on my Arcane Wizard:
I've had it for a year and and I give no fucks. Until I find a better Moonlight, it will be THE amulet I equip for my Arcane builds.
Same goes for rings. If you have near-perfect rolls on a 60-69 yellow ring, it will probably be quite some time before you find a meaningful upgrade. Everything else should be able to be upgraded within the first few hours of level 70 play.
I'll bite...why do you want a Nats ring?
Also noon on a weekday is probably not the best time to do a call to arms lol. I can try to get on tonight if you're still on.
Not in the least! Most of us, I'd imagine, are at work right now.
Sorry if this was already posted, but wanted to throw in there that D3 and RoS are $20 each at Best Buy next week. And I may jump on that price. Sadly, I only have one friend to play with lol.
Do you have to buy both to get the savings deal or can you just buy RoS for $20?

I want a Nats Ring so I can keep the Nats and Mauraders bonus and have my Kridershot build.
Alternatively I'll also be able to switch to my current build but use my T+T's and still get the Nats and Mauraders bonus. Aww yeaaa.
Just some build flexibility I get bored playing the same builds.

I think it says $20 each. So you should be fine by itself.

Team asian!
Wyatt Cheng playing monk now, might be good news for monks because when he played WD, they went OP.
