No, at least not as far as I know.
However, with Kanai's cube, every redundant set piece you get can be rerolled into another piece from that same set, so you can actually get full sets pretty quickly now even if you get the same set gloves over and over again.
Only downside is: they can't reroll into ancient legendaries via the set piece reroll recipe. They will always be regular.

Monk stuff:
Lion's claw 8.33% (1 in 12)
Fist of Az'Turrasq 4.17% (1 in 24)
Flow of Eternity 7.69% (1 in 13)
Shenlong's 8.33% (1 in 12)
Flying Dragon 15.38% (1 in 6.5)
So most people will wind up with generator monk gear before they finish Uliana's.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Are there any strong/viable Arachyr builds for WD? it seems like its Helltooth or burst this season. Helltooth is certainly cool but it would be fun to have a good build with by big spider friend.

Flow of Eternity is still eluding me, but I'm very happy that this rare upgrading recipe exists, hardly ever find legendary Diabos in the wild.
Actually, would leveling a monk to 29 and using that to cube for FoE reduce the item pool from which the cube can pick?

Only under 60, other than Malthael which gives a guaranteed legendary on story mode up to 70 but only the first kill(you can reset the story and clear it again for another, but it's terrible inefficient).
Yes, if there's Daibos over 30 that drop. Only good for cubing powers though, but I guess flow of eternity is the cubed weapon for monks from what I've seen so yeah you could do that.
Yup, great idea. Edit: it's a 1 in 5 chance
9 Balance (weight)
29 Flow of Eternity(half weight)
29 Paddle (normal weight)
The rest are eliminated:
Flying Dragon
Incense torch
Inna's
Staff of Kyro
Warstaff of General Quang
Update from testing below: nope, can't upgrade pre-70 items.
Honestly that is the best tip I've heard in quite some time.
Definitely going to create a couple 'cubing' heroes just for that purpose.
Awesome!
Basically gives 1/5 chance of getting a furnace at level 31 for a barb. Much better than rolling at 70!
I wonder if you can cube a level 70 rare item at level 31? Hope so!

I feel a bit silly for not trying this earlier, I'll let you know what the results are once I get monk #2 to 29.

I'm stuck where you have to cube 25 legendaries to progress onwards
I don't want to do bounties
Just double-checked and it's actually 1 in 5 since the paddle is also available at 29.
Make sure you don't hit 31 since there are two more that unlock at that point.

I still need to do that, but it seems easy.
Each act's bounty gives 6(up to t6) or 8 (t7+) mats, and i already cubed 10 for the previous. so it's only 2-3 sets (of all acts) of bounties.
Doing 25-30 GRs to level the gems seems to be more time consuming. (And I dont really like GRs, especially solo)
I caved and bought it, gonna take my time going through new expansion zones since they are new to me. Has Blizzard released any data about how many people still play this game? I know it's sold millions and millions, but I'd be interested to see how many people actually still play it on a regular basis.

GRs are the best tbh, best XP possible, reliable legendary loot, lots of blood shards, up gems for more power
GR > rifting > ubers > bounties
edit : goblin herds are a pain in the dick to clear, and you have better odds looting a puzzle ring while farming rifts than getting a natural vault portal :<

Update: it does not work with lv. 70 Diabos so I imagine the cube looks at the level of the item you're using, and you can only craft lv. 70 Diabos. 
Edit: And you can't cube sub-70 rares. Alas, the method does not work, but it was a fun experiment.

D'oh. Well, thanks for checking that out.

Another build concept I had totally missed:
http://www.diablofans.com/builds/56660-ptr-2-3-insane-ep-group-speed-build-sunwuko-is
http://www.diablofans.com/builds/57403-2-3-swk-ep-monk-group-build-gr70
Trash clearing specialist meant to combo with a HOTA barb.
4 SWK, 2 Uliana, Gungdo gear, ShenIong's, Focus+Restraint, Broken Promises. The two variants there are using 2pc Innas or Rainment. I guess it would be rainment in an ideal group with a regen monk.
I thought SWK's damage bonus didn't apply to the EP applied by Uliana's 2pc, but apparently that works fine. You just spawn the clones with your self cast EP and then all the ones applied via the generator benefit.

Appreciate the testing thanks
Even if it doesn't work with rare upgrading, I wonder if it might be applicable with blood shards. Overall costs would still be crazy I guess.
Oh yeah, bleh
Yeah, it costs too much and it's in the group 2 handed weapons, not daibo specifically.

WELP... Kadala was kind to me, as were some greater rifts, and...
I'm basically Raiden now. I was already mostly on a lightning build. Now that I am a god compared to Torment 1 enemies I'm ready to let go of the goblins. Once I do get a nice ring with a socket to replace that I'll be able to put this in it...
Not that I was having trouble finishing things off. And once I get another piece of the Uliana set I'll be putting exploding palm on shit for free.
Was more or less just checking to see if anyone else was experiencing a bnet outage. Looks like my area was affected, but it's back up now.
It's meant to be OP for self-leveling. You can even use the cube now to remove the level requirement of an item without using up the socket slot.
oh shit
But the rank needs to be 25 before I can remove it right?
otherwise i would just get the XP boost.

I'm basically 100% normal rifts right now. I did greater rifts enough to level up 3 gems. But death breaths are too important. I'll never ever have any of them because as soon as I do, I use every single one of them for rerolls and upgrading rares.
So so so so so so so dumb that the Sage set only has the gloves, boots, and helmet slots. That conflicts with like.... every major 6-piece set I can wear.

That stinks. As much as I despise and abhor Comcast, their quality of service is amazing. I never have connections issues.
Question regarding off-hand stats:
I am gonna start working on an Uliyana's Monk and wasn't sure which stats "count" (damage roll, etc) and which don't on the off-hand weapon between Lion's Claw and Fist of Az.
How do I decide which to keep on main hand?
What stats should I look for on the off-hand weapon?

Doesn't matter which you keep in your main-hand, the damage for both Explosive Palm and SSS alternates between main and off-hand.
off-hand stats should be the same as main-hand, for that reason.

Monk, wiz and wd can use sage efficiently imo. Hell even barbs and dh too prpbably.
Only crusaders are fucked
Baron Aloha
A Shining Example
I went through 300 souls rerolling an extra Fist of Az trying to get ancient because despite being paragon 400 I haven't found not 1 single useful ancient item (weapon or armor). I finally get it on my last reroll... and it rolled like trash... 2500 dps. It will do for now but I'll have to probably collect another 500 souls and try again. To say nothing of an ancient Lion's claw. For that I will probably keep upgrading rares and hope I get lucky since it's not as rare as Fist of Az.

I'm a DH. With RoRG, any 2 items from the sage set knocks out 2 items from UE, making the 6-set bonus impossible to achieve.
Nats set would work if you use the ring I guess.

The new cube recipe is an item+ lvl 25 gem of ease gives you the item without the level req but eats the gem. It's like something for hardcore leveling or whatever where for example you get an ancient leoric signet, roll 700vit on it then remove the level req, and now you have a crazy good leveling ring. You could also remove the lvl req of 2 pc of your main set, then use your set for leveling(stuff like Helltooth, Talrasha and so on would make leveling on T1 a breeze and super safe since the pieces also have 500vit, or more if they're ancient).
That said, it's still a lot faster to just get someone to powerlevel you. It's just nice for people who don't want to be powerleveled and especially for hc.

When you convert set pieces does that also include the weapon? Can I turn an IK Glove into an IK 2H?
Pyros_Eien

Don't see why not, it's part of the set. The only exception is the set needs to have 3 or more pieces, so you can't like do focus and restraint or bulkathos weapons and so on.
Yup, I got the daibo from an Inna's reroll recently.
Verizon Fios in Tampa here. Bnet was the only thing that was down for me, everything else seemed fine. It seems there were other people experiencing bnet issues in my area.
Making a full set of leveling gear would probably be fun. You can cube stuff while lvl1 too so you could put together soemthing that could smash stuff pretty easily.
The density looks so good.
Wow, when did the numbers in this game get so batshit insane?
