I really think the way they're handling zunimassa's 6pc set is a joke.
Come fucking on, 2% reduced damage per fetish but they fucking die to GR30ish mobs. Yes you can replenish them per cast of a mana skill but they'll have to run out again to attack a random mob. a single mob at that. The defense bonus does not help for shit when Rift Guardians take up over half the time it takes to clear a GR meaning you need more dps, not defense. The fact is that unless you can CC mobs (barb furious charge, tiki bitch fear bot, etc), you aren't getting anywhere.
Watching Alkaizer's stream, he's SPAMMING 400m dmg furious charges on a cc/dps ability. Fetishes do what? Die or just hit a single target lol.

At 4 stacks it's 800% damage instead of ~938% damage. It IS a nerf at max stacks, but at less stacks it's actually better now. Also since it lasts six seconds instead of three, there's less time at below max stacks, so that helps too.
I'm not sure how this will end up in practice but I don't think it's too bad at least.
Meteor boots nerf is kind of a big deal though.
I don't understand how Barbs gets 500% damage increase on their set (global damage increase) while Dhs get 300% damage increase from Nat's set.
After gearing up my DH and seeing how easy it is to blast through T6 content with just the marginal gear I have, it's so hard going back to wizard. DH is a different play style, but things simply blow up and die.
There are a lot of pieces I still need on my Wizard for 2.2, yet I don't think I can do Firebird gameplay anymore. I'm so sick of casting blizzards and waiting for the dot to kill off enemies.

If you still need one PM me, I have a few.

Skip to the What do you do once you hit 70? section.
Blizzard really needs to add an Offline mode.
I was just kicked out during a bossfight, internet acting up.
I know they choose not to because of hackers and shit.
Also playing this while on the road is also something I miss, did that with D1 and D2.

Oh yeah, there's that. Shame.
Same with PC online, been full of people using DemonBuddy since day 1.
Hah, interesting that the RoV changes are both a buff and a nerf. You deal the damage more quickly, but the amount of time you receive the defense buff from the RoV belt is reduced.
edit: Oh nevermind, looks like the belt was re-designed and the defense buff is automatic with the set.. "Rain of Vengeance also summons a crashing beast that deals 3000-4000% weapon damage" hmm
WTF, 100% proc chance for sash of knives? That's a usable item now..

Isn't that just a bot?
Nope, the RoV belt now has a damage buff, "Rain of Vengeance also summons a crashing beast that deals 3000-4000% weapon damage", while the defense buff has been included fixed (30%) in the 6p bonus of the set: "After casting Rain of Vengeance, deal 300% increased damage and take 30% reduced damage for 5 seconds."
So overall I think it's a buff
Yep- just noticed that. I should take patch notes with a grain of salt until they're ready to go live.

It's usable until you need the slot to complete a set. But yeah other than that it's pretty solid, note that it's 100% proc per ability, not per hit, you don't fire knives all around the place when you strafe/whirlwind. But the knives pierce and at 600ish dmg, it's pretty solid when gearing up. Getting the belt on PTR jumped me one torment for example, which for a single upgrade is pretty good.
So?
They get advantage on killing things and picking up shit while they are not playing.
Not the same thing as hacks in consoles.
I don't know if it's a typo, but the new set became more interesting.
Looking at the new 4p unhallowed bonus as it is in the patch notes: "Gain 20% damage reduction and 20% increased damage for 4 seconds if no enemy is within 10 yards of you".
Seems like we can have 100% uptime +20% dmg/def thanks to the 4s timer, though maybe I don't really understand how it works:
Join a rift, no one is in 10 yards so I get the buff. After 4s, if there's no enemy in 10 yards the buff starts over again for 4s, otherwise it doesn't. As soon as I vault away from enemies (11+yards) I gain it again. Is this right? What happens when an enemy enters my 10 yards area during the buff? Is it instantly lost or does it last until it expires anyway?
So? Cheating is cheating under whatever label you want to classify it as
My take, and this is mostly conjecture because it really doesn't explicitly say, is that you can only lose the buff if you have enemies within 10 yards when the 4 second buff expires and checks to see if it should re-apply itself. If you're out of range for 3 seconds, then walk into range, you lose the buff after 1 second. The bonus is pretty poorly written.
What are you trying to push here that botting is ok and isn't a problem just because people hack the consoles?
Other than "lol console hax are leeter than botting" you aren't saying much
Well it isn't a problem on PC.
It ain't even affecting much the leaderboards.
lol bots.
Some cool ideas here (but I think strafe+sash of knives was incorrectly considered working)- http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo3Demo...ptr_gem_plus_strafe_plus_sash_of_knives_plus/
For F+R he is using permastrafe as the spender and Shuriken Cloud (good idea!!) is used as the generator when combined with spines quiver. Adds up to +125% dmg from F+R at all times.

Any tips for my seasonal characters? Trying to get two unitys for my monk as I've solo'd GR37...
Less sure what to do with the DH. I haven't played them much.

That blue goblin looks good in the PTR.
Thanks.
so am I the only one on PC that uses the icons for loot drops... they seem way more practical than just have text all over the place..
also holy shit S2 ending sonn :O :O :O
also the bloodshard cap going up to 1k after you clear GR50 lol
I had a fairly productive night last night, one of the best since playing to be honest. I found Blade of Prophecy with perfect CDR roll so I rolled 10% damage, a 20% holy SOJ with socket, and a vigilante belt again with a perfect CDR roll and lastly a Frydehrs Wrath with perfect CC and CDR.
Its all I needed to run the condemn build, now its time to try my luck at some GR although still need the cannot die relic. Its hard to complain after a night like that though.

Will all of those changes be available to the entire game once 2.2 happens or just season 3? I can't remember if they apply to the entire game or if it's just new items that are exclusive to seasons.
Entire game with some items being made season 3 exclusive.

Ok, great. I'm not sure if I'll participate in the next season, or any future seasons. I've accumulated so many nice items and paragon levels in this current season that I don't want to be without them, haha. I might make a character and do some quick stuff for the sake of unlocking the various cosmetic things.

Any idea when 2.2 comes? I started playing again but then started a remodel on the home I just bought.
May with the Anniversary of the game. That's the estimate.

This would be enough time for me to remodel, move in and beat Bloodborne before 2.2 hits. Nice.

Messing around with my Barb on PTR, the IK set is kind of insane right now. I got a new boulder breaker and its got +100% ancient damage. Is that new? The one I have on live certainly doesn't have that.
Did they announce when?
