Played about 3 hours yesterday doing Rifts on T2. Got like 6 or 7 leg/set rings, all shitty.

Also got a second piece of Tal Rasha's set for my wizard. Need 2 more for that 4 pc bonus.

Still no Gemstone. It must be bugged.

I understand that the staff is of limited use. Just looking for stuff to do in the game besides grind random gear.

While I can't say with 100% certainty if there is a bug or not, I read on D3 forums that other people were having a hard time getting it, but they eventually did get it after tons of grinding. So from that, it appears it's still possible to get the stone.

Anyone see the features of Diablo 3 coming PS4? WTF, I wonder if we'll ever see these?

Items can be sent to friends through a mail system so Blizzard are encouraging trading and online play between PS4 owners. Player gifts have been added so when a legendary drops you receive a gift which you can send to a friend via the mail system and when they open the gift it rolls an item for your friend that’s level appropriate to them. This item could be Rare or Legendary.

Loot is being distributed in a priority system as it drops for everyone on the PS4. So a strength item would go the Barbarian in the party and so on.

In the new Nemesis System, when you die, the monster that kills you levels up. He then jumps into a portal and leaves your game. A few days later that monster may appear in one of your friends game’s and that same monster is named after the player it killed so your friend that sees him knows it was you that died and sent him their way. If the monsters kills your friend it gets more powerful and keeps on working through the lists of players’ friends until it’s defeated.

Apprentice Mode will allow lower level characters to join a higher level character and the game will boost the lower level character’s stats so they can handle the higher levels your friend is playing in.

Bonus experience is being given for groups to encourage gamers to play together and Massacre bonuses will also give more experience. The same goes for using the environment, kills from falling objects for example will give more experience. Massacres also have chance of dropping a Nephalim Glory globe.

Some of that sounds pretty cool. Other things I want added:

Give awards and stats out at the end of each rift run. Like who did how much damage, how many kills each person got, etc.

Cool PVP. This game seems perfect for some DOTA style PVP.

I am getting to a point of total disappointment with this game. I have yet to find any item I really really want to find. After 150 hours played with BoA loot, this is ridiculous.

I have yet to find:
Any piece of Raekor' set (Marauder's boots found by Barb)
A Thundergod's
A Thunderfury
A properly itemized Shard of Hate (dex and no socket on my Barb)
An Odyn Son
Any set of bracers worth a darn.

I am not entitled to all of of this, but after 150 hours I should have found at least one thing. I play on T2 - T4 all the time.

Loot dropping is awful in this game still. So much for having all these amazing legendaries available that are build making IF THEY DON'T DROP.

I have have found two pieces of IK, but they are both horribly itemized which is still messed up in this game.

I got a legendary spear last night. I did not even bother to identify it, I just ported and salvaged instantly.

I like the mailing of items for trading, the Nemesis system and apprentice mode (I only have one level 70). Would be fun to have a clan Nemesis system where some monster keeps working its way through the clan.

Especially the trading part. Why can't we get that on the PC? I'd love to be able to trade the demon hunter set item I'll likely never use.

If you got all those items already, then what? I kind of like that I don't have much of that stuff yet. I can still jump on in T1-T2 pubs, find a few junk legendaries, and maybe one that is a slight downgrade, but a build changer. I'll work my way up slowly.

It's annoying that some of the stats are utterly useless for all classes. Why even bother with them?

So, I got my Monk to 70 over the weekend, and something has been bothering me. I'm not sure if this is odd, but I can't seem to find an off-hand weapon that doesn't lower my DPS over using a shield. It probably doesn't help that the shield that I'm using has pretty decent stats for a shield. I did find a yellow fist weapon that had great stats for its rarity (+damage, +%damage, etc.), but it couldn't beat it without using a gem. Isn't the only penalty for using a 1H+Shield that I gain less Spirit? If that's the case, I use so little Spirit (especially considering the -24% cost reduction from my chest) that it probably doesn't matter.

I also tried my first Rift last night, and I have to say... at first, I was really disappointed. My goodness... I was so bored. The rift was mostly built using Act III assets, and I started off in this huge, snowy expanse that had such a poor mob density that I barely found anything to fight! Honestly, one of my biggest complaints about Diablo III is probably how large some of the zones are. These games are nicknamed "dungeon crawlers" for a reason, Blizzard!! Anyway, part 2 was built from that banished zone's assets, and part 3 was from frost cave assets. Those were fine as they're a lot tighter and the mob density was far better (albeit part 3 was a little sparser than I'd like).

I switched over to the Barbarian for a bit to help clean up my bank, and after playing my Monk all weekend, I really missed my mobility. Using Dashing Strike is just awesome on a Monk. I'm not sure if it's clear in the tooltip or not, but it moves through everything except for static dungeon walls. It will easily remove you from a Jailer's ability and can go right through a Waller's wall. I'm pretty sure I even went through an Act V gate at one point, but I have a feeling that's not intended. It's also nice because you can easily remove yourself from the multiple frozen AoEs. Even if they explode during your travel time, it will not affect you because you don't actually dash... you teleport.

You will find that some rifts are very boring in that the mob density is so terrible and the maps so large. Unfortunately, you just have to power through those.

There are other rifts which offer some unique features. From time to time, you will find a pack of treasure goblins (about 15) just sitting there. When you see those, you'll want to use your best abilities to suck them all into one spot so you can AOE most of them down. It's quite a sight to see lol.

Rifts are especially great when you have high dps group that can clear things quickly.

I don't find the rifts that fun really. I find the low density ones more often than not it seems. Also I think I've gotten one legendary from a rift since they "buffed" the drop rates. They don't feel that rewarding to me, especially if I'm playing alone. I'd rather run bounties than rifts at this point.

Hmm I've had somewhat decent luck with legendary drops. I think I had two from that one rift alone. Although, I can't say that the drops are always particularly good. I got this sweet-looking lightning-y two-handed sword last night, but the rolls are so bad that not even an enchanter could save it! The only straight-forward DPS stat that it has is +damage (it has resource reduction stuff). When I looked that weapon up, I saw that there's a Crusader-oriented sword called Cam's Rebuttal. It gives you a four second window to reuse Falling Sword before the cooldown starts. Man, that sounds like a ton of fun! :awe:

I was rather unlucky at the enchanter last night, and amusingly enough, it was on an arguably worthless item. It's a -12 item level strength helmet, and I want a socket on it so I can toss a +experience gem into it for my Barbarian. I think I sunk around 400k into it so far, which I don't mind, but it's also wasting my Death's Breath! :| Is there a good place to farm them? I just kind of accumulate them over time.

Finally finished my fire build for my Wizard. The little girl took 2500 Blood shards for the god dam magefist to pop up. -_- Was it worth it? Well, I'm doing 19mill crits with Wave of Force lol
Also anyone here play WD? Any good build/skill? I've heard pets are OP. Do they really crit for over 100mill? Seems absurd!

Fastest way to farm Deaths Breath is doing rift all over. Kill elites and don't TP to town once you killed the guardian, otherwise you lose alot of precious elites

I'm always out of Forgotten souls. I have like 300 Breaths and 5 forgotten souls >_<

EDIT - Arcane dust too lol.

My monk (who has finally reached 70) got a shiny new legendary sword so Schaefer's Hammer went to my level 55 Crusader. Rerolled it to strength, she's at 105k dps or so. I gave the 1-h sword she used to the Templar buddy. It's hilarious how OP they are, then again I don't level in Torment difficulty as I prefer low-intensity gameplay

I have a couple of Magefists, but I'm not taking advantage of the fire thing. Cappuccino, what fire skill are you using to take advantage of that Fire skill damage buff? My only two damage skills are Disintegrate and Arcane Hydra because I have the Eye of Elitch that gives +20% to arcane and a set of yellow bracers that give +14% to arcane, and the staff that lets me spawn two Hydras. I wonder if switching my Hydras to the Mammoth Hydra rune would be good for that Fire damage?

I use this build and I'm face rolling T3 http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#aNOjSd!YieZ!cYZaZc
Don't use Hydra they are useless. Yes, they are fun to see and fun to use but you are really not helping if you want to kill stuff fast. If you are stacking Arcane % then use Arcane Torrent - Cascade and ofc Archon - Improved. I don't play with Arcane % but I'm sure AT is the way to go if you are stacking Arcane damage.

Oh and if your using my build make sure to switch Black hole to Improved Archon when you fight the Rift Guardian.

EDIT - If you use my build/fire make sure you have a legacy Storm Crow with 10APOC and try find a good firebird eye with 4APOC UNLESS you craft the Reaper wraps that gives you 25-30% arcane when healed by a health globe. I have both and I'm spamming WoV like theirs no tomorrow hehehe. I crit 15-19mill and seeker crit for 5-7mill. GL! ^^

Ahh that's what I did end up doing last night! I was almost afraid that killing the guardian (I beat him on stage 2) would make the stage 3 rift disappear. Fortunately, nothing went away, and I wasted all the mobs to the end of stage 3 where there was a teleport stone back to town.

I don't have a ton of Forgotten Souls, but I usually have enough to do what I need. Unfortunately, while my legendary drop rate has been pretty decent, I don't always get that great of a roll. I think I have two legendary rings in my Monk's bag that I can't decide on because two of the stats seem a bit subpar. Along those lines, I've always found it a bit hard to judge things like resource cost reduction. I don't think my Monk would benefit much from it, but given the lack of a strong, spammable AoE, my Crusader could probably use it.

I also don't know if I should try and enchant a few survival stats to some DPS stats on my Crusader. I do have quite a bit of resistances, and I've noticed that the benefit per point really seems to teeter off once you hit around 50%. It makes me wonder if I should try to scale back and maybe push those into damage stats or other survival stats.
