I don't think so. AFAIK they are different sets. Like, the level 70 Cain's plan is called "Cain's Destiny" but the lower level ones have a different name.
Ah, okay. Guess rng just hasn't produced a duplicate for me yet.
Nope.

why does this game run like shit when my graphics card is only at 50% utilization
Well, no, it's like really hard to get to the CDR% you need for permanent Akarat's Champion. You're basically forced into a CDR set + CDR Weapon (and probably Amulet too?) to get there.
I don't mean it "hurts" in the sense of taking more damage or whatever. Just that it's really hard to get the breakpoints you're looking for.
Yep.
If you don't make other elemental equivalents then everyone will keep going fire because Cindercoat will continue to swing power towards fire builds.
I read the Twitch anniversary stream summary.
Seems like they will be using Tiered Rifts as basis for balancing. I expect a ton of nerfs in the PTR whenever one class starts out performing others in Tiered rifts. Right now they don't seem to care too much about balance as it's still non competitive. Shit will get real ugly in the PTR I can feel it already.
I like that they are looking into PoE for Ladder/Season ideas and they are dividing rankings by group sizes.

Any build that makes it past 10th floor gets nerfed. Can't wait.

Yes! Ghom is a cunt and having to wait around for ages after he dies to loot him is a waste of time.
...fuck
Adding ghom fart to all bosses!

It's terrible and I hate it. Sometimes it will get really bad. I wonder if it is a driver issue.
Probably not
Can I get a general consensus on Reaper of Souls and all of the stuff it offers for $40? I'm really getting back into this game but am still unsure I want to drop that much on an expansion pack, especially when I plan to get the game to play w/friends later this year on XBO.
Reading through this thread it seems like I'm missing out on a lot of stuff locked behind RoS.

And so... out of the blue, it happened *_*
I wonder if there's a favored skillset tu put kridershot to better use? Removing danettas heavily dampens my discipline and vaults, maybe I should go for Natalya's or for a pet build with Marauder's?
That is an amazing Kridershot, congratulations! I finally got a SoJ after 295 Paragon levels, not the best rolls but I will take it. Also got this baby, and now I just need a focus ring to test it out with my Kridershot. This anniversary week has started off great!
You'd be missing out on a lot if you didn't get RoS.

They didn't actually increase the cache drop rate though I don't believe?

Nice! I've given up trying to get my +9% damage roll to +10%, it's like 3 mil a roll now.
If you're going to use the Kridershot usually you're going to run it with a typical CA build, which itself works with the zoo build anyway. I only swap to one handers/Danettas if I'm doing low level bounties/trash farming/permastrafe, if I'm playing higher torments I run the Krider with Frost Arrow (damage + CC) and the usual CA stuff. Don't have enough pieces to run the full zoo build yet unfortunately.
Sorry, but I had to chuckle.

Because you disagree or because I made it sound funny?
Before loot 2.0/removal of ah, the complaint was that the game was too random.
I'm playing the game since release and I prefer the old legendary drop rate. Only problem was that most sets/legendary were crap.
I certainly don't want guaranteed drops. This only leads to "Oh, there goes my guaranteed drop. Whelp, gonna play for 20 more minutes until I get my next one." which is stupid in my view. And well, ladders/every competetive element becomes pointless.
The franchise was saved by 2.0. It would've been dead without the changes they made.
There was nothing competitive about d2 ladders. The top levelers used bots or played constantly. Such skill. That will be the case regardless of rng. The reason people want ladders is for the fresh experience to look forward to when the game gets stale. I'm not sure what "competition" you're looking for.
Then start a new character and you'll get a fresh experience? Why exactly are those people asking for ladders then?
I'm complaining about how the drop system works.
?
Because you disagree or because I made it sound funny?
Both actually. So yeah, first of all there's a community buff up doubling your legendaries, but even if you did get 7 legendaries in one rift without the community buff, it's still possible and that's is part of being fully random. You're not asking for more random, you're asking for less random.
Oh come on. It's not that. Blizz themselves talked about an "legendary timer" which changes over time. That's what made chest farming possible in the first place. If you want to I'll look up the blue post.

Got a nice Blade of Prophecy & Jekangbord in about an hour or two tonight. Yay for double legendaries.

I'm not sure what your point is.
You're being purposefully dense. You could just make a new character in D2 as well. The extra carrot of exclusive sets/legd pieces helps encourage people to use the ladder as well as the hard reset.
I very much doubt that either chest farming and you getting 7 legendaries have anything to do with the legendary safety net. It's pure unsubstantiated speculation.
Chest farming only worked because legendaries out of chest/barrels/whatever didn't count on that timer. Well, believe it not. Guess there's not much point to discuss it here ;p.
Also:
Haven't tried honestly, I just always join pubs. If I were guessing, probably 10-15 minutes. That build would be unbelievable for solo play if mon density was how it used to be.
I agree, there's nothing to discuss since it's unsubstantiated speculation.
This is one of the downsides of split farming that you have to deal with.
Just teleport to the cleared areas and check for stars before starting a new game.
I'm not complaining. Just saying that Blizz themselves acknowledged a legendary timer which Totakeke isn't agreeing with.

What are you talking about exactly? The legendary timer only kicks in after 2-3 hours of not getting a legendary, its nothing but a safety net so that you dont go forever without seeing one.
Well, that's where I disagree. I would say it works link a hourglass. Slowly goes up and resets once you find one - and to some extent even when you are logged off. How often do you find legendaries back to back? Or from the same monster?

Well, you're wrong. A blue post specifically stated the timer only is affected while you are fighting monsters, it does nothing when you are AFK in town or not logged in.
Edit: Here is a reddit post with a collection of blue posts on the subject. http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/2168xn/there_seems_to_be_a_lot_of_misinformation_about/

Correct, and If I remember correctly the longer it went, the more it kept increasing the chance.
