from what i've read for shoulders at least, you want to roll vitality plans since max roll you can get is 300str/330 vital = 630
max roll on strength plans is 330str/200 vital = 530
for intel/dex you want the actual mainstat
I think they've upped the max on the main stat category for crafted archon items. I've rolled silly 300+ stats on many items. Just getting cc, cd on gloves or just cc on bracers and such is difficult. Shoulders are pretty easy to roll good stats on though.
At least crafting is back in the game though. I'm enjoying it. Been buying up tons of exquisite essences and tears lately. Prices on those are gonna start going up soon, I bet.
that was ONLY for strength for a barb, don't want you guys crafting and blaming me
for all other classes you want to craft XXX of dex/intel
I've found that upgrading flawless gems up just one level usually yields better prices for the "crappier" gems. For example, 3 topazes at 500 gold plus 30k gold to make one upgrade. That's a cost of 31,500 gold and they sell for about 40,000 minus 15% commission to net 2.5k gold (40 x 0.85 = 34 - 31.5 = 2.5). You should have the lower level recipes by now considering how cheap they are and how often they fall.
those items crafted from the new plans.... can they be sold outside the AH?
Was this spot on or what.
Yes, it was. I thought it was common knowledge by now
doh, I tried it last night for my wd. Got below 100 int each time, but didn't see any really high str either. I tried 5 though.
Nope, it wasen't
It was obvious going into D3. Console version has been known about for a long time. Design changes were made to fit both platforms.
I didn't even think people would say "called it" because I thought everybody knew...
Its just a failure in innovation and over simplifying things that didn't need it, not so much designed around consoles. The whole console idea is probably activision's push, not blizzard's.
Ugh, I'm having bad luck on the ammys. Every one I make rolls 1 of each main stat (other than vitality of course). So almost every one I have made I has xxx to strength, intelligence and dexterity and the last 2 modifiers are usually useless too. I haven't even seen any ias, cc or cd yet after about 10 ammys.
I wish it was only able to roll at max 2 main stats at a time, instead of all 4.
The same should be said about gear. How many items have you found with STR, INT, and DEX? There should be a single main stat modifier and the rest for other things.
Whoever said the shoulders were the best rolling vit, I question that. I've made close to 50 and haven't seen a single with higher than like 90 STR.
rng is rng
here's the article about the shoulders, as well as other pieces

Is it bad that I am planning on getting D3 on PS4 just for couch co-op?
That does make sense. Thanks for the link. I just get crap RNG. =(
