When does the latest patch drop?
Unfortunately, we are dealing with Blizzard Time (TM). Coupled with Blizz stating they do not want to patch during seasons, I would say it will probably be a couple of months.
Yes, in the end probably it's not worth sacrificing the Unity ring for Nat one. But having a cloak with disc (no matter if Nat or any unique) instead of Hallowed chest would be a net DPS increase and I don't see why not going for it. It would be a nice change having a different spec to play with instead of the Sentry build everyone else is usingTrying to max out disc would be wasted slots anyway I think. Reaching 70-80 shouldn't be too hard but then reaching out with suboptimal pieces for +10 disc (so like +12% total damage) is probably not the best idea
Oh damn...after season 2? I thought it was going to drop during season 2...well crap, I was really looking forward to the new randomized dungeons.

Pretty sure they said they weren't going to drop any patches mid-season. This is only surprising because I don't think anyone was expecting this PTR anytime soon. Which is good since that's plenty of time to beta test and get stuff tweaked, but also bad because now it cannabalizes Season 2 play a bit and just makes people salty this stuff won't be on Live for probably at least 2 months, likely longer.

What's that about?
Me and my friend are getting this tomorrow and it's our first Diablo game. Is this a game we can coop from start to finish?
In Blizzard's patch update, they said they're re-doing many of the dungeons, and having more map layouts/randomization.
Someone posted a blue link saying that the patch might hit mid season yesterday.
This type of stuff is expected if you did the math (the 75% bonus is multiplicative so at full stacks you are doing 9x damage). Even if it requires you to use some extra skills the damage pay out is worth it. But he is really exploiting the new Focus/Restraint combo well by using stuff that costs very little like Hydra to keep the skills output. This might get looked at by Blizzard.Here's a Wizard GR38 run through with a Tal's build.

Looks like I'll have to learn to love this set. Watch how the RG melts...

It would be nice if Tal's had an extra set piece so that we could use something like a Hellfire amulet. Those are worthless in builds like this now. Focus and Restraint seem to be the overwhelming favorite (they should be retroactive).Also, it's nice to see them moving away from a dependence on RoRG, Unity and SoJ. Or, at least having options. Seeing 2.5 billion crits without any of those rings just feels good. Options are good.
As for his build...it was okay I guess. I would have substituted explosive blast for the lightning black hole for some CC. Also, Arcane mines are far superior if you plan on moving constantly. They also do incredible damage. Very underrated arcane torrent rune, imo. Considering he had no time to sit and channel the arcane torrent rune he selected, it would have been a much better choice. Even Arcanot Familiar would have been more useful up to the RG.

Regarding the build, remember that Tal's stacks when spells are cast. Black hole has too much of a cooldown to reliably add to the 3 second stack window. There is obviously a lot of room for improvement, but at least it looks like we'll have burst now, which is lacking from Firebird's.
Channeling spells should be relevant with the Slow Time set (Mirrorball builds).
Woh style specs are pretty popular with the Tal's set bonus, though I never enjoyed the play style very much.
Yes, most wizards are moving to PTR testing now. Nobody uses Tal's for 2.1.2 .when you say, "Woh style specs are pretty popular with the Tal's set bonus", do you mean in the current PTR? Because it's certainly not popular in main client GRs. Maybe for T6 or something.

That's how bad it's gotten.
Items don't transfer over from PTR to the real game right? Does Paragon? Anything? I'm trying to understand the reason to spend a lot of time in a test client, farming items you can't take with you. When you're at the point where you're only enjoying a class in a Test Client, it's time to play a new game until those changes are live.
It's good to switch your mentality over to get an idea of what items you should be farming for optimal play. Firebird's and even 2hr's (at least with Tal's current changes) are starting to look a bit obsolete now.That's how bad it's gotten.

Yeah I have played it, it speed farms T6 and lower GRs but of course it's not that strong for higher GRs. For non season 2 its pretty good but in Season 2 there are a bunch of speed farm builds with Gungdo Gear that are just strictly better.I think I want to make a Monk now because this lightning tempest rush build sounds like a lot of fun. Has anyone tried it? Thoughts?
