I am noticing more people complaining about this similar;y, 5+ rifts for 1 leg.
Yeah, I've just been at this point for nearly a month so it's been extra annoying.

My Demon Hunter tank is off to a good start (toughness & healing are a lot better in-game): http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/RDespair-1773/hero/40756998
I also got the "Gain access to all skills" relic for the templar (which I was using already) today so I'm really happy about that.

tick the 'low fx' box
it tones down all the particle effects which for me were destroying performance in 4 man groups
it runs better for me now with that ticked off (whereas setting everything else to low or max didnt make a difference for me)

Quake barb v0.95
I finally found managed to craft a devastator I could work with after almost 20 tries
Discovered my gloves still had attack speed on them from when I was lightning (linked my profile before as quake spec and noone point it out,you guys are useless :< )
Also found a unity with 5 percent crit chance and max elite dmg on it, pretty happy about that (first unity in 930+ rifts)
The only upgrades left for me now are a better roll on the aughild helmet, a better chain that doesn't waste a roll slot on weapon throw damage,(or a string of ears) and the arcane absorb necklace
I can do t5 now (and melt the ever living shit out of t6 hellrifts) but not having the arcane absorb necklace really hurts as a melee
My barb has had a really nice gearing curve so far, from the base gear to lightning spec gear through t1-2-3 to the earthen set + cindercoat for graduating to t4 and then filling out the rest with better weapons and good rolls on items to soon make it worth running t6
It's probably by accident that they ended up making such a natural gearing curve but it has been nice.
Shame it's so heavily reliant on being a lucky shit and actually finding the earth set and lut socks before dying of old age
This is why all of my "casual" friends have stopped playing. I say casual lightly as they're only casual compared to those of us who play much more each day. These are the type of people that aren't just waiting for the next patch (like I am) either. They've moved on and are pretty much gone for good.
The retention rate for Reaper of Souls at this point has to be abysmal for Blizzard.
That curve is almost the same for every class.
Standard Legendaries plus basic cookie cutter build gets you through T1-T3 with every class.
Beyond that you can get to T4-T5 with specific neutral set pieces (Aughilds, Asheara, Cains etc) + specific Legendaries (Cindercoat, Shard of Hate, Krider Shot, Tasker and Theo, Mask of Jeram etc). After that you start needing class specific Sets like Marauders/Nats, Barb Sets, Akkhan, WD sets etc. This is where Monks fall behind hard... all they can do is optimize the stuff they have for T4-T5 until they can somewhat do T6 as well and it's still not comfortable.

Playing alts doesn't really make me feel better, though. Like, my Crusader is my most fun character at the moment so alts are just boring currently.
And, besides, my WD is basically in a similar boat of needing set pieces :x

The last few days been quite a turnaround for my WD, Ive went from a Fire Pet Build to a Cold DOT build. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/MentholMoose-1800/hero/43260179
In a 3 days period Ive gather a Quetzalcoatl, Stone of Jordan with Cold Damage, Frostburns, Sun Keeper and already had a Hwoj Wrap in my stash. Cold DOT build is fine for single player, as it takes some time and kiting to kill mobs/elites without the Jade Harvester Full Set Nuke. So you progress at a slower pace but have very high survivability as you hit once your foes with Haunt/Locust Swarm then run away and observe them die, Currently Haunt can reach as high as 20M+ every tick when it crits on elites, which is quite impressive. My previous Pet Fire build seemed better suited for fast group play, with Gargantuan punching like a truck and fetishes where melting elites quite fast.

Ok I've been holding out on getting RoS but finally caved to today. What is the best way to dive in?
After beating act 5 do I do rifts? Adventure mode? Are these the same thing? And I only have a vague idea of shards and gambling and rerolling stats. Does the game do a good job of explaining all of these things?

This might be quite controversial, but I really wish you could kick people who are a part of a private game. Earlier on I was playing with a buddy, happily rifting away, when another player joined out of nowhere (this is another can of worms, Blizzard, if it's a private game please inform me if someone who is in the same clan as I wants to join).
Would have been alright, but we were running a pretty steady series of rifts, only for said player to bone it up by ignoring my request to leave a conduit pylon alone so we could leave it for the rift guardian, then proceeding to draw a pack of elites in to the guardian for no particular reason.
He did apologize and mention something about being in his 30s and having kids, but he also ignored my earlier request that he leaves the game because he was pretty much ruining our speedy rift-running.
It's kind of shitty that they don't allow you to kick in non-public games. Not everyone in a clan likes playing with each other.

Note, the descriptor has nothing to do with the events. So, I dunno what he's thinking.
<-- in my 30s and has kids, doesn't exempt you from willfully messing with someone's game. We're not technological idiots.

Is it worth trying for Amulets from Kadala?
I think it needs to happen in the thread here. If the officers aren't online in game, they're never going to see it. Hopefully someone will see it and pass the torch to a more active member. We have some very active members in GafMAX that could compliment the main guild. Probably get a strong community going again.
Instead of trying to weed through existing clans, isn't it easier to create a whole new one that active people can then join? Seems to be the only easy way of getting only the active people to one clan.
Or boot out literally everyone from one clan and have actives all join and rejoin that specific one.

Right, I never read the clan thread. Despite being active, I would be kicked for not reading some random post in that topic.
Better yet, just make a new post in the ingame message board.
In reference to a player needing an invite to the main clan, I can do invites. Maybe any member can, for that matter? I'm the one who invited Scy. So just find me or one of the other active members. That is, as long as there is space. Last I heard there were only one or two spots left after the inactive kicks.
We're at the cap again I do believe, hence the discussion of needing to empty some more.

seems rngesus is taking requests today
shortly after that post I dropped an awesome roll chain belt that doesn't waste a roll slot (rolled 15 percent life on it alongside all resist str and vit)
30k hp upgrade get.
got a mr YAN pants with perfect roll (good roll str vit all resist 2 sockets) from the same rift.
Then since after today my barb has pretty much no upgrades left the rngsus was like bro how about I hook you up with one of those newfangled Gyrfalcon flails from the GAF thread for your crusader you never play?
Then I talked to kadela and she gave me the Jekangbord shield immediately (150 shards right after the flail dropped
)http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Finicky-2766/hero/40877047
my sader now
Just tried it on t4 (missing a potential 60 percent lightning dmg and 10 percent crit and 15 percent blessed shield dmg from rerolls/proper element on my items but I'm out of souls)
Taking the missing lightning dmg and 15 percent extra blessed shield dmg into account it's okay I guess (although the single target dmg isn't good), definitely viable for t4 but it feels shitty with the bad mobility from crusader even though I'm not getting the movespeed penalty anymore.
Burned through about 130 souls in the past 3 days with the sudden loot shower
Solo - Rumford at the gate wretched mother trick, just google it.
Whoa. Looks easy enough. Will try it! Thanks!

I just beat the game on Normal for the first time on the PS3. I see that I'm already bumped up to Nightmare mode now, are there any bonuses for playing through it like how we get a boost in XP and Magic Items when we bump up the difficulty?
What should I reroll? All Res or Area Damage? (Fire Barb)
Yes, I failed at the screen capture and cut off the edges.
All Res becomes increasingly important as you increase in Torment difficulty.
I think something like 6 out of my last 7 weapon drops have been Two-Handed Swords, Two-Handed Axes or Staffs. Seriously, am I the only one getting trolled like this? I mean just drop me a fucking Monster Hunter and troll me with that orange Sword text on the ground for a second. At least, it's not as disappointing as a Two-Handed Axe orange text on the ground goddamnit.
EDIT: Just finished another rift and the RG droppd me a leg Staff.
