Just got this. I don't have enough stuff for builds yet, but currently this thing is pretty awesome. Should I reroll something? Strength could go up to 1,4k+ or damage to 2,3k+ (or even 2,4k, not completely sure).

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.

Apparently Quin69's been running this version of it:

The density looks so good.
Is that SWK build what people are normally using in those 2 barb 2 monk groups, or is U6 still pretty common too?

Well, it happened already. I got my Uliana gloves before I even got a nice ring with a slot for that poison skill. I am now tearing through T3 like nothing.

Dunno how many resources you have, if you have little you shouldn't really reroll that. You could try re-rolling the damage range once or twice, that one can go quite a tad higher and would be a worthwhile increase. (do not reroll the 10% damage though, that one is max).

back in for the first time since RoS launch...

so what's the best way to farm legendaries? bounties or rifts? I'm also reading the best way to farm DB's is definitely bounties.

running a crusader.. really not liking it too much. seems very hurry up and wait (resource starved). I run punish until I can get constant wrath generation (Seeker, etc).. but yeah, 70.17 and as long as I have wrath it's ok, but if I run out (especially if I can't pack mobs together to get beaten on) it kind of stinks. :(

What level are you at currently? I like the crusader myself.

You want to use provoke for constant resource generation. Don't know how much of the blessed hammer set you have but getting that 2 piece and cubing obsidian ring while using akkarats champ as often as possible removes the need for generators altogether. Early on you can use shield glare as well to fill your gaps, you only ever want to use generators if you use focus/restraint.

High level rifts are your best source of deaths breath, like t9 or 10. Sure you could do bounties but that's a waste of time if you don't need cubing mats, might as well stick to rifts to get keystones. Even if you're only doing t1 I'd take the keystones over more deaths breath. Greater rifts will get you the most legs I'm pretty sure.

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.

Does the damage stat (xxxx-xxxx Damage) on the off-hand count?

How about the bonuses, ie Attack Speed +7%, Damage +10%? Do those factor into my DPS?

I think T7/8 with a sage build is probably best for DB. I get like 25-40 a run doing this but I don't know if cru has any builds that would work. My guess is probably not.

Yeah, GR is probably best for leg/hr but you get almost no mats and no DB so you have to balance it out with rifting.

I think bounty runs are OK as long as you aren't doing it solo. You get quite a few souls doing this as well and it is relatively fast. I'll run T7 splits w/ my sage set on bounties and farm bounty mats, dbs, machines (I always do the machinewarden bounties first which works out since I'm so fast with angry chicken and generally people don't like those bounties), and a bit of souls all at once. I haven't timed it but you should get 40+ db, white/yellow/blue mats, 8-12 souls, 1-2 machines, and the bounty mats. Pretty decent bang for your buck!

working on getting the seeker set which is basically needed to be able to utilize provoke as a wrath generator. provoke's default CD makes it impossible to use as a regular generator otherwise.

currently paragon 17. I did get the gloves from the thorn set... so if worse comes to worse and my next set drop is another piece from thorns, I may temporarily go with a thorns build to at least get some bonus damage out of that.

I am clearing T1 rifts ok (unless I pull more than one elite pack), and cleared grift10 in like 11 mins :p so torment 1 seems like about where I should be staying at this second.

I was hoping for Seeker of the Light set and got 5 pieces of Roland's instead so far. Not too mad since there are always people less lucky than yourself in loot games, but I really was hoping to be doing hammerdin by now.

But without that Roland set I was having a hard time clearing T1. On T3 now.

Attack speed I believe is cumulative together with your total. Damage +% only applies to that weapon.

Alternating MH/OH means when it alternates OH it rolls the OH's damage range and any modifiers to it before calculating damage. Which is why I'm guessing your MH and OH should be similar, if only for the sake of consistent damage.
 
Whoohoo, done with bounties, got my 100 cube season journey achievement(only 6 items after the normal achievement, which is nice). Now the only annoying thing left is doing the T10 rift in under 3minutes, I wasn't even close last time I gave it a try. I'm thinking I might have to get an ancient In Geom to even stand a chance of soloing it, and I don't really know people geared enough to group for it. Also need to work on that stupid Boon of the Hoarder leveling.

This game hates me...

Try to cube set pieces, put in pants get out pants, put in shoulders get out shoulders. At least the shoulders came out ancient but still, fml :(
 
I don't have the sage's set recipe and I can't loot it for some reason, what in the fuck

Nothing in bounty caches, haven't seen a green goblin in forever

Wait what, that's not supposed to be possible if you're talking about the "Convert Set Item" recipe.

Finally got a kridershot. Not ancient tho. Do I make it an equipable cubed stat or do I reroll it til I get ancient and use it?!?!

Fuck me, did vaults to get a green goblin, he didn't drop the sage's set recipe...
What the hell am I supposed to do about this ?

On Ps4 can you multiplayer characters whoa re associated with the same account? So I have a templar and my girlfriend has a demonhunter, both are under my PSN name but I can't figure out how we can rift together locally.
 
So, this actually just happened.

Although my weapons are mostly already pretty darn good ancients, I felt like upgrading some ceremonial dagger because I have a lot of resources and creating armor that way just isn't worth it (Kadala's for that or maybe reforging).


I don't even really need those but still, the hell :D

Pretty sure your gf needs to make her own account, which is free and will have online capabilities. You will need to power lvl her to70 which takes like 30-45 min.

Fixed my stuttering today in Diablo III after a long day of troubleshooting and fixing DPC latency but I still have two issues, which I think are just the game:

1 - Witch Doctor's micro freeze the shit out of me
2 - Micro freeze when someone zones into my area
 
Anyone else having problems with starting a game? =/

Also, I found this recently:

wizweaponqvs0w.jpg


It was a pretty big upgrade for me after adding a socket and increasing the damage. But I don't play a ton, so I don't really know how good it is in the grand scheme of things. Thoughts?

It's for a Wiz, BTW.

its good, but doesnt have a legendary affix so it isn't nearly as powerful for the slot as it could be. do you have anything with a good affix?

That freeze when someone zones in has always been there. Might have gotten worse recently but it's hard to tell. I've always known when someone is zoning in by the game pausing though. D3 performance is so weird. Do you guys remember when there wasn't a delay on death's breath drops? They introduced it, I'm assuming accidentally, in some patch and just left it.
 
Tried with another character and he cannot drop the sage's set recipe either
This is just fucked up, can't do shit and rolled a monk for nothing if I can't have the set...
 

davepoobond

Ok, thanks. Any fun builds I should try out?

the build i enjoy on a monk is exploding palm bracers and wave of light pillar of eternity

its generator-less and you use crudest boots with the air clones for the spirit.


there's a spec that revolves around the lion's maw 7-sided strike thing that seems fun and the new set

Man I wish I had a consistent 4 man group to speed farm GR50+ rifts in.

Also very few people running support these days. I might have to do that myself.

I was using this Aether Walker before:

The affix is nice, but the difference in damage I gain from using both my new Devil Tongue and the extra ability slot for more power/protection/resource generation makes the choice to go with the DT obvious.

So you know, I'm using a Tal Rasha's set at the moment with

  • Shock Pulse - Piercing Orb
  • Blizzard - Frozen Solid
  • Energy Twister - Wicked Wind
  • Hydra - Mammoth Hydra
  • Magic Weapon - Force Weapon
  • Energy Armor - Force Armor

The four attacks are necessary to make the whole set work, and the Force Weapon and Armor contribute so much to my survivibility and damage that they're not worth replacing either, especially given the difference in damage vs my DT.

I do miss the convenience of unlimited Teleport though ._,

I've either encountered a major glitch or an undocumented change - the RoRG just dropped from an Act III/IV cache (not sure which - opened both consecutively). I'm running T7 bounties in bonus order and Act I is still incomplete.

You're using the reroll legendary item recipe instead of the convert set item one.

Act IV bag drops legendaries of all other acts, it doesn't have it's own list.

I'm using the Teleport AoE damage rune (the wave of force is arcane damage) in my Tal'rasha build, it's fun as hell. Beats having to use Twister too, can't stand the damn thing.
 
I just never seem to get enough gold, ever. Every time I upgrade the smith, there goes a huge chunk. Take gems out, more gone and I just don't pick up a lot. Can anyone help?

I'm HiroProt4gonist on Xbox One. I think the most gold I've ever had is 300,000 and that's because I let myself die a ton and didn't spend it on anything.
