Cant decide if I want to gear my Crusader for Fire or Lightning. Thinking of trying out the blessed hammer build, has one for both fire and lightning.

None of the top ranked players in the world aren't autokeying so I guess I'll wait until they drop the hammer. Hopefully not on me lol Playing the game and not having fun because you're in physical pain I'd say isn't worth playing anyway.

How is it different now? The patch note was pretty vague.
Till now if you were in a group (say 4), the key would drop independently for each group member (I could get one but other member not).
Now if you see that key dropped, then you know everybody gets it. This is how it worked for Key of Evil, and now it also works that way for other keys.
So, creating a Hellfire Amulet is way less tedious in a group. The best way is to farm in a group of 4. Let's say that your group is lucky and in first pass every Keywarden dropped the key. That means that in this group everyone has the key, so every one of the group can craft Infernal Machine. So in fact you can create 4 of them, and therefore you can kill 4 Ubers, therefore you can craft Hellfire Amultet
The chance for the key to be dropped on T6 is 50%, so on average to get all 4 keys, I think the group would need to do 2 key farming runs. Which is still very good.
I hope I didn't confuse you more
Yeah, definitely noticed that last night. It's clear they tweaked the formula, but it seems to err way too far on the side of caution now, giving lower GR keys than expected.

I managed to beat tier 36 last night. It was a close call. Dying a few times didn't help.
I added in custom engineering and an enforcer gem on my RoRG. This helps put out more DPS in longer battles but it's not as strong taking out trash as I only get down a few turrets.

Now I need a good Etrayu. Gotta get my turrets doing more dmg. I'm not sure how much I can squeeze out though. I also have no idea how demon hunters survive anything beyond 40 O_O

Liberal use of smoke screen and Awareness let's you survive one hit. That's about it.

Oh cool, that is a good change. I've been burned 5 times already, but maybe my next HF amulet will be good? Should at least make it faster.
I rarely ever get a legendary from RG, and continue to do so.
They most likely nerfed it with 2.1.0 (I would get 4 Legs per T6 rift on an average. It's definitely way less now, but I don't notice a difference after 2.1.1.
Most of those survive in groups with a full tank/crowd control Witch doctor, using the Horrify Legendary mask that adds 8 second root time, also BBV Slam dance adds a massive amount of DPS to sentries.

Found an SoJ for my sorc, was arcane damage, anything but arcane!
Also found a nice neck for my barb, what is higher value, straight up damage (low roll) or strength (good roll). Trying to figure out what to enchant.

Keep the strength for sure!
It's been like this since 2.1 hit.
What I've been finding kind of annoying is that so many of my legendaries have been rings. The one time the guardian dropped something last night, it was 2 rings. Greater rifts? Ring + one other item.
Yeah I am definitely seeing a lot of rings drop as well. Maybe it has a skewed chance because of the high number of available rings.

You might be the luckiest person ever? People say they craft 20+ before getting one like that. I gave up after 2.

I did atleast 50 or something.
Added you to my friendlist - will add to clan once you're online (I'm Ayumi in-game).
So has it been worth the effort? I'm at 20+ with nothing usable...
Can you progress further or not really?
Thanks Ayumi!

Are the drops from the ubers 100% now? I remember I needed 9 sets of keys to make my hell fire ring pre 2.1,if they've changed this then I might actually bother to make an amulet ha.
Organs are 100% in T6 now.

Ah ok, cool. My max right now is T3 sadly. I'm sure if I supply the machines I'll find someone to carry me.

Hellfire amulets can roll such crappy stats, and then you need to worry about the passive. The odds of getting a good one seem so damn low... and yet... getting a good one could be huge. Uuuuuugh.
This is the game we play.

Ye def worth the effort i can now use archery plus custom engineering/Awareness or Tactical Advantage. My Demon Hunter is pretty much complete at this point. Only thing i can think of is getting a cold SOJ.

I crafted my hellfire amulet today for the first (and last time), had %life, damage, strength, and area damage with weapon master passive. Not terrible, but 8% damage isn't worth losing 20% fire damage and 80% crit bonus.
I'll carry you homie!

Thanks, slowly getting a grip on enchanting priorities.
Now that Titan is cancelled, what is the likelihood of seeing another D3 Expansion this year? Blizzcon would be pretty dry with just WoD & Legacy of The Void, especially if void doesn't have new multiplayer content.

Sounds good, thanks. I'm in the clan otherwise VWdrewZbie#6802 if wanna add me. Still gotta get the keys but I've done it all before so won't take long.
Reminder: You need to leave your current clan before I can invite you to the other.
I can help you farm keys too. My dh is super fast

Some guy gave me two pieces of Marauder last night in a pub game. Chest and helm. I already had the chest but the one he gave me had better rolls. Another guy gave me a really nice Stone of Jordan on my crusader. What a couple of real pals.
I tried it, but I got stumped by trying to figure out how to handle movement. I'm too used to being rooted in place when I attack.. being able to Condemn spam on the move feels weird. I like Holy Shotgun a lot more and it also stomps all over T6 even with less than super gear.
I tried to give someone a marauder chest the other day and no one responded so i salvaged it and left. Then a min later someone msg'd me and asked me if I still had it. Felt kind of bad lol
Tried my luck with Hellfire Amulets again.
Try playing the lottery today.
Well you can still play standing still if you want. The cool thing about the build and condemn in general is that it has no animation (for your character) so you can still use another attack while using it. That mostly means a generator obviously, so it can contribute to your wrath generation and life per hit while still spamming your biggest attack. I think Zeal is a popular choice but it's been a while since I really read what people were doing with the build nowadays. It's not really as bad as something like SWK since you are only really spamming one button.

Figures I would drop this before Etrayu....
Maybe some day I'll have a use for it.

Does anyone notice significantly less Hardcore players?I guess I'm curious if maybe the crowd that would play standard hardcore would also be the same crowd that would unanimously move on to seasoned hardcore? I keep seeing less than 5 people ever played Normal or Torment @70 hardcore. :|
Calamity is REALLY good for M6.Figures I would drop this before Etrayu....
Maybe some day I'll have a use for it.

I've been reading that it's only really useful if you can hit the 4.15 breakpoint... which requires attack speed on every single item possible including the Calamity itself. I'm pretty far from hitting that though.
