Man I really hate Blizzard sometimes...

Any chance of removing Gold Find from Paragon points and replacing it with Damage to Elites?
Absolutely not.

Not everyone likes gold find, but for some people it might be useful and fun.

Who are these mythical creatures who actually put Paragon points into Gold Find? I have never found anyone who puts points into Gold find.

People who have maxed their PL and don't have anything else to put their points into?

Don't know anyone who would willingly do that though. It's not like you need huge amounts of gold anymore.

Damage to elites would be way too good there though, you wouldn't even have to think twice in choosing it.

Damage to elite is not a very good idea (unless the value was pretty low) but just about ANY other stat would be better than Gold Find in the Paragon points.

They can give Life on Kill or Health Globe Bonus. Hell people would even take EX bonus over Gold Find bonus.

Finally hit 500. Gonna stop right there.

Oh and also got my very first furnace. (non ancient of course)

My ancient torch still trumps it tho, like 25%. So i can't use it. :/

It'll be awhile. Plan to be working on it for a couple hundred paragon levels. I didn't get my first Sparker drop for 7 months.
I only had two SS to drop in Season 2, both crap (I've had 5 Furnaces and 2 Woh's for comparison).

Wands don't drop nearly enough. There are too many competing weapon slots for Wizards.

Well then, now I know ^^. It wasn't so bad though I hadn't done it in a long time and got a bunch of achievements for under 1hour clears(though I obviously already had them, so it was just season achievements which I don't think do anything).

I think they just transfer over to your non season achievement if you didn't get them there. Could be wrong.

I do ='(

well, one of my wizards I stack lightning damage and gold find. I left the lightning gear on, but normally I have a sun keeper and a helm with an emerald

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Drops for my non-season crusader have been terrible. Akkhans pieces seem to not exist...

Used to be an issue for me too... didn't get a single piece for well over 100 hours of play

Once they started dropping... i'd get them more often than blackthorne

I play non-season as a Fire Raekkor Barbarian running a max fury, no resource use build to maximize damage. In the utilities tab I've got Area Damage maxed out and I've got Life on Hit maxed out on my PL 440~ Barbarian. I've no use for Resource Cost Reduction, so Gold Find it is.

It's a pretty specific set up, but there you go, someone who puts points into Gold Find :p

Gold find is stupid, but not sure what I feel about elite bonus either. If it went up in 0.2% per then maybe. Get it to 10% at max. The reasoning they gave was so stupid, we don't want to have offensive stats under utility, call me crazy but area damage and rcr are pretty damn offensive.

I meant say who puts in Gold find as a priority for their build or to make their character better. Obviously people will put points in it when they got nothing else to put it in (ie .last).

I used to put in Gold find with the old Inna set + Taeguk combo because I didn't have any Resource cost reduction points.

Yeah I agree with this. Area damage is 100% an offensive stat.

Blizzard always tries to come up with a silly response to defend their design choices. Time and time they have had to go back and change their design choices.

I still remember when they defended the Blood Shard cap.. now as always they are forced to budge.

I love how they always hide behind "VOCAL MINORITY" and "CHOICES." Hey, can you guys do something about this rune being mandatory, or this stat being worthless? Well uh well uhhh, first things first, there are a lot of diablo players and choices man this is just a vocal minority here. I'm sure someone out there is dumb enough to take another rune or desperately needs some gold find, we don't want to disrupt their gameplay...the hypothetical majority prove there are still interesting choices!

Mandatory runes just mean that the other runes suck so they have to buff the other runes.

The rune situation is much better than it once was. Just looking at the Monks they have viable options for a lot of their skills:

Wave of Light
Lashing Tail Kick
Dashing Strike
Exploding Palm
Mantras


Though there are still some skills that get one rune used all the time:

Inner Sanctuary (Forbidden Palace)
Serenity (Ascension)
Epiphany (Desert Shroud)

Epiphany Insight is quite widely used in T6 farming but yeah I know what you mean.
 
Have my barb at 20 in season 2 what's a fast way to level solo? I've just been running act 1 halls of agony 3 over and over. I feel like I'm doing it wrong tho

Well the fastest way would be to join a powerleveling community/check reddit for pl offers, since that takes like an hour to hit 70. Otherwise the fast way to do it on your own is to run adventure mode, Hard difficulty, and just do bounties over and over. The most efficient is doing only the good fast bounties and leaving, but I tend to often do all 5 bounties because I like "taking a break" by fighting Azmodan or Butcher or whatever. It's barely longer that way anyway since you get compensated a bit by getting more xp from the 5bounties turn in. This takes about 6-7hours to cap.

If you don't have adventure, then you should complete the story asap, then do adventure stuff. The monster density is way higher so even just doing what you're doing would be faster in adventure.

This seem like the PC Diablo thread, well I got Reaper of Souls and will be playing again. Which clan can I join, I noticed there were two and tried for the first one.

I have no idea what to do now, looking for a video that catches old players back up to speed on what happens in RoS.

Looks like D3 and RoS is on sale $20 each.

Yep, until the 31st, I had to take advantage. Now I wait for the next update to get back to wizard shenanigans, until then I will try to get used to this new expansion.

Is doing the seasons important or just something for people to do?

Seasons gets exclusive new or reworked items that are pretty game changing on a class or build.

for season 3:

The following items are intended to be Seasonal only for Season 3. Note that not everything on this list is currently flagged as a Season 3 item at this time. This is a bug and should be fixed in a future PTR patch:

Dead Man's Legacy (rework)
Dread Iron (rework)
Nagelring (rework)
Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac (rework)
Hammer Belt (Placeholder Name)
Ranslor's Folly
Little Man's Finger
Spirit Guards
Iceblink (Legendary gem)
Mutilation Guard (Legendary gem)
Bottomless Potion of Amplification


As with previously reworked Seasonal items, once patch 2.2.0 launches, these items will no longer drop in non-Seasonal games and will remain removed from the non-Seasonal Legendary pool until Season 3 concludes.

On a related note, we will be removing Bane of the Stricken from Patch 2.2.0. We're not happy with its current implementation. It's possible we may revisit it in a later patch.

Ok I guess I'll start fresh, gives me a reason to level new witch doctors at least (finally hah). I noticed stash tab is expandable after 4 slots now, wonder if character slots have a new max as well. I had so many mules (characters that held excess gear) who can now empty their inventory now that the cap level is higher.

you can't put a price on sparks
So what do you guys do with characters at the end of the season? I deleted my season 1 toons cause they sucked and I didnt put much time into them, but my season 2 monk is now my 2nd most played character hour-wise
 
How do I get an invite to the GAF community on US? I found it and added it, but I don't know whose leg I gotta hump to get approved... :D

Edit: NVM, I found the post about it.

I'll probably just move all my Season 2 gear to my main monk, just because my Seasons monk has a stupid name.

Did you get that? I bought a PS4 for it.

Bought mine on sale back in November with no games in preparation for Bloodborne. And it's amaaaaaaazing, easily worth it! PSN name is also Celegus if you want to add me!

Also:
Ancient's Inna's weapon on my Crusader right before I stop playing until 2.2? Don't mind if I do...

Any monk players that have kept up with PTR able to chime in on what to replace on this? I'm assuming the skill and keep CDR, but I'm not sure if stacking ally damage is suddenly useful with the new Inna's set bonus, and don't want to screw it up.

I decided to wait a week after S3 hits before I starts leveling my new class.

By then there will be geared people who can power level me to 70 easy.

Ally damage is so shit. It doesn't get buffed from SWK bonus. The 6 piece Inna bonus won't be used outside of that one time you want to see if it is any fun. The new meta will be either 4p Inna+SWK, the weapon won't be part of that build or it will more likely be 6p Raiment which looks ridiculously powerful (but stupid all at the same time).

Oh that's a bummer. I thought the 6pc would've been great, and that the weapon would be useful.
 
Replace ally damage with 10% damage.

It's a good weapon and imo it's better than a non ancient torch or furnace on monk.
It frees up an inna slot, so that means you can replace the belt (vigilante or WH for example) or chest.

Yay! I found the rarest item of the game a few days ago, the Star which really rolled shit. And another Mara's Kaleidoscope.
And not a single Cindercoat. This game pisses me so much :/
