I would like a thunderfury if you have one spare.
The weirder thing is getting the Whimsyshire enemies in a regular level during a rift.

Is there really no cow level in this game? A loading screen said that, and it made me sad.
There is no cow level. There is Whimsyshire. Same thing really.
I hit 70 with my Witch Doctor a couple of days ago, here's a Zoo Doctor build that I use. It works pretty well, though I may tweak it here and there.

You get 3 Dogs, a Gargantuan, and a Fetish army, with a bonus Fetish every now and then thanks to the Fetish Sychophants passive. My two attacks are poison based, but you can also go fire based: Replace Plague of Toads (Rain of Toads) with Firebomb (Flash Fire or Fire Pit). Change the Poison rune to the Fire one for Zombie Dogs, and you can replace Acid Cloud with Zombie Charger (Explosive Beast). Or use Piranhado (Bogadile) for massive damage.
Spirit Walk is super useful, it's basically a Get Out of Jail Free card when you need to GTFO of a battle. It's also a good idea to Spirit Walk through a pack of enemies so all your Pets will follow you and engage them (since sometimes their A.I. doesnt work perfectly).
You can have your 3 dogs for free if you wanted. Replace the dogs with another skill. If you want to stick with pet animal master, use spider queen or something. Whatever you want.
Next
Switch out jungle fortitude with circle of life and walk around killing stuff until you have 3 dogs. Now switch circle of life back to jungle fortitude. Voila. Free runeless dogs.
(No longer works on PC version as they have finally patched that exploit that has existed since day one. edit - Post-patch PC version of this exploit. Use the Grasp of the Dead rune that spawns a zombie dog 10% of the time then change out of it once you have your dogs.)

Stack that as high as you can if you're lightning build without gimping your other stats.
I'm at 77%, still need an amulet.
Ah cool. I didn't know if there was a cap or not.

Should I put STR gems into my other sockets instead of All Resist gems for my Crusader?

Monk Pillar of Ancients is fun as hell.
Drop a few of these suckers around an elite and it dies.
Need more spirit regen or lower resource cost.
75 Spirit ouch.

A few criticals from my lightning Crusader were over 23,000,000 -- that is nuts. I have roughly only 200% critical damage bonus, and around 450,000 dos w/ 80% lightning damage bonus.
Am I missing something that would generate criticals so high that they'd reach over 20,000,000?

I'm on PS4, though. Would that still work?
Man, I'm having real trouble finding a decent set of one-handers for my Monk..
Did get a 3000dmg staff earlier today from a message gift though. Can't remember the name, but it was autumn-themed and had a leaf
aura effect on the end of it. That replaced my 2800 Zweihander, but I'd still prefer swapping back to 2 one-handers.
Actually seems like I find most of my decent stuff from the gifts now. Not much luck with the Horadric Caches or the Rifts.

I'm googling like crazy and I can't seem to figure out how to send a gift dropped for another player. It's automatic I guess?
...good thing companies did away with manuals :/

Just go to your inventory, then go to where the little gold pouch is next to the boots, then choose 'Treasure' (the one at the top) and the gift should be there. You can send it there.
Its inventory... Bag...top tab looks like treasure...x to send
No problem. I'm glad you found it useful.
I thought of another good example of the synergy it provides with regard to AP management. Channeling attacks basically take your regular attack, and divide it up in to chunks 1/60th of a second long. So at Attack Speed 1.0, a normal attack would take a full second to perform, do the listed damage, and consume the listed AP. With channeling, you aren't obligated to perform the full attack. If you hold the button for 0.5s, you'll only do 50% of the listed damage, but you also only consume half of the listed AP. A 0.3s burst only uses 30% AP.
So, AP management. Let's assume I got caught with my pants down, and I've got a fresh crowd rushing me with a measly 3 AP in my pool. That's completely useless, right? Can't cast shit with that, can you? Well, I can cast 1/6th of a Disintegrate "attack" with it. It only lasts 167ms and does a trivial 85% of my base weapon damage, but it's more than enough to proc the TF and Intensify effects.
That gives me plenty of time to backstep away from them, and once I've leapt to safety, I can lay in to them with my Shock Pulse, continuing to pin them in place while feeding on their insolence to recover my full strength.
Muahahaha! (∩｀-´ )⊃━ ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
Thanks again man! I was able to get a good hour and fifteen minutes of play time in after laying the kiddos down for bed. I shuffled some things around based on some of your input and I think my play stepped up a good notch. All this stuff still feels daunting though. Another dumb question: when you select your spells, does the different color runes translate to signify which element the power represents? Like if you choose hydra, and select the red rune, does that fire elemental damage? Is it like that across the board? If so, what color does arcane represent (purple?). Me and my endless questions..
On a side note, I ran 5 bounties tonight and picked up gear that advanced my dps a good 30k, which was awesome for me

Started looking for a RRoG. Spent about 30 mins opening 6 boxes and repeating if one didn't drop. Got one. No crit stats. Kept my boxes for more rolling. What's an ideal roll for that thing?
Yeah it works on ps4. I used that method for a bit.

The passive swap trick works on ps4 confirmed, I came across it myself and played most of campaign that way. Pretty sure swapping out grasp of the dead after dogs are summoned works too, but passive trick is faster to get dogs up.

Question for veteran Demon Hunters -- does the Ambush passive affect only up to the first % 25 of a full health enemy, or as long as they're above % 75 do you do % 40 extra damage, even if would kill them on the first hit?
Hope that question makes sense. Just seems ridiculously overpowered unless there's some kind of buff.

Torment I on Hardcore with my Crusader and I'm getting crap drops from rifts :/
If I bump it up to II I'm probably dead, I still need a better 2H weapon and shield for my Thunder God build I'm working on.

I played almost all day Sunday and made it to Adventure mode. I think I was level 50 or so and had 9k DPS :/
Currently Paragon 20 something and am up to 340k dps or so. Playing hardcore. This is my current build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#bRYTde!aXWe!aacaca
Pretty similar to what I ran on PC way back when. Love corpse spiders.

Finished Act 1 on Hardcore as a Crusader. Here's hoping I can last the next 4 acts/45 levels.

So just to understand I run act 1 bounties until I get 10 horde caches then open them and if the rorg doesn't pop the close app then try again? Do I unload them in the highest difficulty or it doesn't matter?
I'll be honest with you...if I were playing the PC version chances are I'd be rocking spirit walk, which is what I did when I played PC. My issue is that I couldn't get a good rhythm with it on the controller. I just couldn't find a good spot for it on the controller where it worked nicely with the rest of my skills and so I stuck with Haunt.
I have looked at replacing Haunt with some other stuff but I keep coming back to it. The healing effect is fantastic and shouldn't be overlooked, especially when you have multiple haunts in play. It's a nice set it and forget it skill, and thanks to my attack speed I can get them out pretty quick. If I hit a nasty pack I send out a few haunts to help keep my life topped off (hello arcane).
It's nice in that it follows enemies, so annoying things that disappear or burrow can't escape it. It jumps to another enemy when the initial target dies, which is nice. It has good range, which is great for me since on nasty packs I'm usually tossing leaping spiders from way back. Haunt also let's me retreat while still actively dealing damage and healing. I also find that it serves a purpose both when dealing with mobs (mainly champs and elites) AND during 1 v 1 boss encounters.
Between my life on hit, life regen (boosted by templar), and life leech from dogs and Haunt, I feel more comfortable in Hardcore.
Probably wrote more than you were looking for @_@

Yea, I'm not about the whole dashboarding to the home so the game doesn't save thing. This game is all about the grind and that feeling of satisfaction when that item you've been farming for drops. (pray it has a main stat)
Anyhow, it's your game and you play it the way you want.

Nah that's all super interesting to me. I'm pretty new to diablo and certainly the WD so I'm trying to consume info as much as I can and I'm having a hell of a time finding much surprisingly.
I'll def test haunt out in my playtime tmrw. I be seen some builds that use it. I def haven't wrapped my head completely around HP regen yet but the life on hit plus dogs leeching seems to be a popular thing
Might as well just play an action game that doesn't have gear/loot at that point the way I see it

Just did a rift that was HUGE! The guardian spawned at the beginning of level 2, but we killed him and kept going. The first 2 levels were average sized, but the third floor was so big that the edges don't fit on the screen when zoomed all the way out. It took forever to visit every part of it. Got some green plans, a green ring, and a few legendaries out of it. Nothing amazing though. I thought it was fun.

The special effects are color coded, but the runes don't seem to be. For example, the Intensify rune is red, but the description says it deals Arcane damage. I have no idea how the colors for the runes are chosen. lol
And yes, Arcane effects are purple. That's how you know it's the best element.
That's a pretty good run. Now that I've finally hit 70 and am happy with my build, I can finally start focusing on collecting gear to properly accentuate it.On a side note, I ran 5 bounties tonight and picked up gear that advanced my dps a good 30k, which was awesome for me
P.S. If you've got a spouse to go with those kids, you really need to persuade them to start playing with you.
