We'll I'm using cyclone right now I was considering changing that to 130 all res but decided for one of the 210 elemental res... When I ever get a torch it will be a dead stat but I was using an awesome blackthorns ancient chest and any ancient innas chest was the only thing that could replace it.
Nevilistis dropped some hints about the next PTR 2.2 patch coming next week (most probably Tuesday):
*Ring of Zodiac being changed. My guess is nerf incoming.
*F+R rings getting changed as well. Another nerf incoming.
*She said that pretty much all of the sets are getting changed in some capacity (some getting changed a lot). Tal Rasha was mentioned and the damage buff duration is going to be "smoother".
Also in the current PTR build some weird strings are showing up. There is a new string for the Marauder DH set and this weird shit as well (probably the buff to Zunimasa's set):

Dat feeling when you see a set piece drop and it's anything BUT the last item you need to compete a set. Well on the way to para 400; still never gotten a SWK amulet drop. Not one, of any kind or quality. It doesn't even need to be decent. I just want one to have some more options.
This shit mine as well be as rare as The Furnace. I see more of those drop daily than SWK Shines.

After a long night of drinking. I figured I'd hop on D3 for a bit before going to bed. Hit up a pub game and then this happened.
Pub games. For or Against?

Somebody liked Too Human a bit too much.
In other news, got my Maruader's pants, so 4-set for that. Still looking for a Bombadier's rucksack though. I got the helm as well, but it's not good enough to replace an ancient Natalya's. Need the chest, but it has to replace an ancient Blackthorne's. Still looking for a decent weapon, nothing has replaced the crafted ancient Unbound Bolt I've had since level 1.

Wow. Someone's salty. I've had a few decent ones, but pub games are generally awful and to be avoided at all costs.

hi-larious. what a total kook.
Still no Unity, still no decent weapon... I should also farm a better RoRG but I'm so fucking tired of Queen Aranae's bullshit zone I get 90% of the time

I love it
Edit: meant that guy getting his panties in a bunch.
People go too fast for me in public games, they get frustrating because I'm just running behind thing to catch up while looting

I've pretty much only played pubs this season since it seems like everyone catapults to T6 so fast while I play catchup in lower torments. My DH can do GR 30+ now though, so I'm good for T6 now and won't feel like I'm dragging anyone else down.

Lucky. My new season Crusader is stalling out around GNR 18. Getting that damage -vs- defense balance right is tricky, plus I think i'm a few pieces away from optimal equipment for my build.

Lv 340 on my seasonal monk
Still haven't seen a SINGLE torch, SWK amulet or unity.
I'm uninstalling this game at lv 400 if I don't have torch + SWK.

You and me both. Also around the same level, also have seen neither. I'll give it to para 450 before I retire until 2.2.
I'm at around Para 340 (can't check, bnet not loading for me) and I've gotten one Torch that is pretty so-so (I made it usable with a gift...barely), just got my first Unity (which was awful), and I've gotten 4 SWK amulets that were all total trash and not even close to worth using to swap out my SWK helm for a Leorics.
I've still never seen a Furnace ever, and no SoJ this season. I do wish they would add the ability to gamble for specific weapon types, trying to get a Torch when you're competing with all of the other 2h weapon types is a shitshow :/

I got a SWK ammy on the PTR ~(-_-)~
I think that's one of the rarer pieces in the game overall though. Only saw one in all the PTR I played.
I forget if I got a Torch on live or not this season (maybe just PTR), may have dusted it since it wasn't ancient. Out of town now so I can't check. Do have a decent non-ancient Furnace this season that I was using for awhile, but not-ancient, so who cares right?
But yeah I geared my DH better than my Monk in less time. Albeit the DH was leveled with Gem of Ease, so that shaved off at least 5-7 hours of play time.
Dunno if I go back to the Monk or just save playing the class more for 2.2 and season 3. Was thinking about going Crusader for S3 though after not having played mine since around RoS launch. Or finally playing a WD to cap for the first time.

I've only played monk and crusader this season, but Crusader is very, very gear-dependent. It took me a loooong time to feel truly effective. You need perma-Akkarat, which requires that set, and then you also want a good weapon/shield combo for condemn or phalanx builds.
by comparison, you get Gungdo on a monk and you're destroying T6 very, very quickly with the help of some decent gear. It's kind of nutty.
Problem is that all viable crusader builds right now revolve around perma-akarat, which requires 6p Akkhan's and 54% CDR (which isn't easy without huge gear sacrifices, as getting good rolls to not gimp gear with the CDR is hard), and the most effective build requires Frydehr's Wrath and Blade of Prophecy with no substitutions at all possible.
And even having all that you only perform on par.
New Roland's set should cement crusader's in groups as single target monsters, tho. Fucking ludicrous shield bash damage incoming.

I got 3 SWK amulets in 2 days right after 2.1.2 came out. Two were ancient. So I was like "eh these are not rare at all"
Yeah fuck this amulet
I think I'm done with Season 2 after hitting 400.
Can't get a 2nd unity and Az to climb GR.
Definitely my fastest and highest character to hit 400 compared to my non-season and season 1 character.
Damn dude those res are trash, even more considering you have 2 diamonds :/ also why the hell put a ruby in leo crown, 25% CDR is imba
I played D2 a lot, thanks for the input son.
I spend 70% of the time in T6 Rifts/Bounties, Shit dies so fast before they do some serious damage, that's why I don't use Harmony. Desert Shroud is more than enough in T6 anyway.
Ruby for exp. I'm switching it to diamond when in GR.
Should be the other way round. You want ruby in GR. Assuming you are not pushing very high. xp gear multiplies in GR. Just additive in normal rifts.I spend 70% of the time in T6 Rifts/Bounties, Shit dies so fast before they do some serious damage, that's why I don't use Harmony.

Just found my second Sunwuko Amulet from a greater rift a second ago, wasn't expecting it to be an upgrade over my old one but the stats turned out pretty great for me.
This is my monks stats now with Taeguk stacked,
This is without the Taeguk stacked,
Have kind of stopped playing him though and moved over to a new Demon Hunter since finding upgrades for my monk has become quite scarce and I already have the other little things I might need like double unity etc. Probably end up coming back to him after a little break with other classes.

They'll come out with more legendary gems eventually, maybe something to put in weapons besides gem of ease. But I do wish there was more variety in the basic gems. Could use another type or two at least.
Maybe next expac?
I think the problem with gems is that they have no "rolls". So when you hit the cap with the maximum gem you're done, that's the best you can have. In D2 at some point there were jewels (not to mention runes and runewords which came with the expansion), which could roll with different multiple stats and were considered a legendary item (had to be IDed if I remember well). I hope they'll implement something like that, a jewel which could roll with 1 main affix and one secondary, with the chance to have the some kind of stats on both, but the secondary being less potent. Something like 100%CHD/5%CHC or 10%CHC/50%CHD, or MAINSTAT/CHC, RCR/RSC and so on. And there would have to be ranges as well, not fixed max stats. This would give great room for changes and customization with little effort - you're not introducing a new game mechanic, just mixing existing ones.
Finally got my first Unity drop in seasons yesterday. It was pretty crappy, so hopefully that will be the one that goes on my follower when I find a second one (if ever).
I'm 400+ PL in regular, and 250ish in seasons and still have never seen a Furnace. I didn't main monk in regular, but I haven't seen a Torch yet either. I guess I've been rather lucky, as I've found all four pieces of SWK (including ancient shoulders), and got the three piece Inna's as well if that's still a thing. Everything's rolled rather mediocre, but at least I can get the bonuses.

Yes, obviously she can, I got both Nat and Mara through her. I suggest you to gamble on her after you already get a Legendary helm as a regular drop. It seems to me when you create a game some slots are picked up for a "leg chance", that's the reason you often get 2-3 legs on the same slot in a single rift. When I was trying to get a Witching hour I just waited for a leg belt to drop, then gambled from kadala and would get 30-40% leg rate from her in T6 (500 shards). I know it sounds insane.
She gives anything that is not quest/bounty specific, so yes you can get maur helm or any other pieces.

Yeah man.
It was more me venting than an actual question but thanks, I'll try that. The game does seem to love giving me amulet after amulet.

They should add elemental gems and gems that have unique bonuses in weapons(That would be comparable to crit damage)
Personally I wouldn't order digitally a cd key outside of official channels, I know most eshops are legit but with all the fuss about people being banned for hacked keys I'll pay the premium price. And TBH the insane amount of hours I put into the game was well worth it.
