Whee!
Also, 3/3 for legs from A1 bounty bags on T6. Too bad none were a new RoRG :/
Got 2 RoRG from 5 bags. So now I have 4 of them with shitty stats that I got in like 48 hours.
Good I found the last piece for marauder so I don't need it right now.
Edit: Also, what's up with that insane damage?

Going for a green set might not always look better on the profile damage. It might go down as much as 100K damage if you are unlucky with the rolls, but in the end a good set will have some great effects that outweighs the small damage loss. My damage number went down a bit when I got my marauder set, but I doubled my actual damage because I can use 2 more sentry turrets.
Also, changing difficulty doesn't matter on the cache. It's tied to the difficulty you got it on.
Secret monk-fu abilities
Flying Dragon + Harrington
Actually hit 9m a few mins later but didn't grab a screenie.
And another 3 T6 caches, another 2 ammy's and skelly shoulder...that'd be 6/6 but still no new RoRG
@Neo: My pants are just some crappy crafted Capt Crim ones. Still trying for some new Hexing Pants since I found mine on PTR...

Ah, I see.
And I think you are guaranteed a legendary on T6 now. Did maybe 8 myself with a friend and both got one in each cache.

Btw, some input on my DH would be nice. This is what I've managed to get after a few days of playing DH (Was mainly a wizard before 2.1). http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/xyber-2172/hero/36109818
I want to find a better SoJ, it rolled pretty bad and had to roll away 20% poison damage to use it now. Will probably put another diamond gem in the pants since I'm still a bit squishy.
Just did 2 T2 act 1 bags and somewhere around 8 T1 bags, not a single leg of any kind. Buff is not real
6/6 for me on T6.
0/6 RoRGs though
I did the same thing as you, I got 8 legendaries out of 10 bags and one of them was a RoRG.Just did 2 T2 act 1 bags and somewhere around 8 T1 bags, not a single leg of any kind. Buff is not real
Unfortunately it was an Intelligence RoRG for my Barbarian but still the drop rate is super buffed.
Ha. Thats sucks. I still got a friend under 70 on season.
Hmm, should I re-roll the Grenade damage or try and get higher CHD on my Witching Hour?
Whoa, just bought RoS for $20 on sale (gamestop, if anyone is interested), and am shocked how much more fun this is than vanilla D3 from 2 years ago. It's like a totally different game. I had 3 legendaries drop tonight and my character has entirely new gear than from my vanilla days.

Oh well..the set bonuses for seasonal drops for my class I don't use..so whats the point? Forced to use it? lol
What?
a) There is no seasonal class set and b) the point is to open up new build possibilities. Just because you don't want to use the set doesn't mean no one does.

Than why would the set be listed as for WD and 4 bonus is for zombie wall or soul harvest?

@uniqlol chance of legendary from bounty cache goes from ~50% at torment 2 to guaranteed at torment 6.
So yeah, I think it's here to stay. Crazy! I was staying up late farming my RoRG just in case they changed their minds. Hmm, time for me to take another look at those bounty legendaries in other acts. Hmm, maybe that charm amulet from act 3.

I like that it was buffed, but guaranteed rates seems too high for a game where the loot chase IS the game like Diablo. I've DEed more RORGs last night than I've ever seen in total before the hotfix.
Completely forgot to check on other Act bounties... that looks strictly better than Leoric's too, and since it's farmable, should yield a good neck faster than alternatives.
Yeah, RoRG farming just went from weeks to hours. I can see why people who put a ton of time into getting theirs would be upset. Oh well, water under the bridge. I think it was a good call. The loot hunt's still there, it's just shifted from trying to get one at all to trying to get a really good one.
For anyone doing their hunting today, I'd say split farming is still king, even on T6. Do at least T2 for the 50% chance.
Overwhelming Desire is looking like a very solid choice actually.
- 626-750 primary stat
- Attack Speed Increased by 5.0–7.0%
- Reduces cooldown of all skills by 5.0–8.0%
+2 Random Magic Properties
Chance on hit to charm the enemy. While charmed, the enemy takes 35% more damage.
Here's a list of the other bounty legendaries:
http://www.diablohub.com/database/sorting/bounty-bags/
Here's another good one in Act 3:
Avarice Band: Each time you pick up gold, increase your Gold and Health Pickup radius by 1 yard for 10 seconds, stacking up to 30 times.
combo with Boon of the Hoarder for crazy pickup radius while doing bounties and regular rifts.
(remember Gold Find too - it can roll pretty high. I saw someone with 500% on their profile)
Act 5:
Helltrapper: 7–10% chance on hit to summon a Spike Trap, Caltrops or Sentry
- Maybe a way to get Sentries out faster with M6? Probably not going to beat Kridershot, Calamity or the other popular ones, but it could be a good stopgap.

Ooh that avarice band will be good for my gold farming WD!
What would you possibly need gold for at this point? Just find a goblin vault, get 200m and never need gold again.
well, I've found the vault 4 times, and I've farmed since then and I have 760 million gold thank you. I just like the satisfaction from the Boon of the hoarder explosion of gold. :3
And also trying to get the right enchants on items get expensive when it starts costing 500,000 gold per roll
also rolling sockets in my jewelry, completely regearing a wizard, and switching my sader to holy shotgun costs a lot in enchants

Bounties were in a very poor place compared to rifts/grifts in terms of item rewards. Now you have:
Bounties, which give ridiculous XP and a high frequency of items from a limited pool, but no blood shards and no progression on your legendary gems.
Nephalem Rifts, which give good XP, very high numbers of blood shards per hour, and a wide range of items.
Greater Rifts, which give decent everything at higher levels of scaling, and at lower levels of scaling allow you to upgrade gems for massive boosts in character potency.
It seems like a good balance. I think people might be underselling the XP component of bounties-I did about 25 sets of T6 bounties (at 9 minutes each for a full set) solo since the hotfix (still no ring, lol) and the XP was crazy. Yes, you can get items, but most are roleplayers and they can just add new items to the game in case something is always best in slot.
Eventually that 83% CHD you rolled on your amulet isn't going to be good enough. And in those times you're very likely go burn through millions rerolling to get something optimal there.
Like everything else in Diablo, the higher you want to go the more resources (time, gold) you are going to need to throw at the problem. Eventually you're going to be like that arabian dude at the casino gif .
Also, pro tip on cash in the short term-keep a ring (I use a trashy nagelring) with boon of the hoarder around if doing bounties. It's worth a swap into when you get a chest bounty with the timer and the 100 kill threshold. Especially on T6 it is tons of easy money.

double post
Been there done that, but I ran out of crystals before anything else, and am getting low on Souls(<50) and Topazes(<300). I still have 400m gold though, not an issue at all.
I'm just not sure I can bring myself to reroll my 20% holy on Amulet and SoJ to a socket or not. I really want to use the smite gem, but I'd have to replace one of my +holy mods for it. It's probably worth it I guess, but it hurts after finally getting them to 20%.
I can't. Worst part of the game easily knowing I basically had to do it for each character at some point.
I feel the same way. Switching the one int version, a shitty one at that, between toons is annoying.
Is it the PUUUUUURGE? Don't kick me bro!
