what difficulty?

5 times on master, 2 times on expert and 2 times on normal. I can't manage him solo on T1.

EDIT:


Topaz (Intellect) and Ruby (Strength) respectively.

Although, I've found sockets to be next to worthless in anything but a helm or weapons. I'd much rather have something like +5% crit chance than +60 strength.[/QUOTE]

No doubt about it. I would also take a benefit off socket too.
I still dunno what is best for Monk Crusader and Witch Doctor
I need to fill it their socket!

That is because you're using the free gems. The max level is +280 main stat, which is huge, especially in items that don't generally have a damage affix slot (legs and chest, for example). 3 socket roll on chest means you get 840 extra main stat.

3 Flawless Royals? Wow. Isn't that like 73 trillion gold to make all of those, give or take a few trillion? All I could afford for my chest piece was 3 Flawless Imperials.

they arent that bad

but then again i had nearly a billion gold when ROS came out :/

 

[trmiv]

Yea started a few weeks before RoS and sitting on about 7 million right now. I think 3 flawless royals would pretty much wipe me out.

Diamonds can plug gaps or be pretty useful as well.

Hmmm well that isn't too many times. On original drop rates I killed named mobs 30-40 times on T1 in order to get a drop.

 

[darkewaffle]

I started the post-AH era with 280M gold left and am at about 210M currently, though I've made a significant amount of gold in pickups/quest rewards since the patch as well. A lot of that spent amount is just reckless enchanting too lol.

Sockets are nearly mandatory in chest/legs/weapons and I prefer one in my helm when it doesn't preclude something else nice. They're pretty much wasted properties on jewelry though.

Grind it out one upgrade gem at a time if you have to I have zakarras spaulders which makes all items indestructible which helps. I found an int set too and accidently destroyed them

 

[Hopeless]

I need to know what character get most benefit from which stone
FOr example I think Barbarians get most from Ruby
Demon Hunter like Emerald
Wizard likes Topaz
But what about witch doctor and crusader ?

I'm on the xbox version so there may be some differences:

Ruby = Str = Barb
Emerald = Dex = Monk & Demon hunter
Topaz = Int = Wiz and I think Witch doctor

 

[Cappuccino]

He really isn't that hard to find!



Still debating between those and the splint. I can see how the globe resource restoration would be nice during rifts -- especially if you get a dense enemy population -- but probably not so great during boss fights. I would really love +19% fire damage on my Monk though. I think my bracers only give me +11% right now.

Hes not hard to find but a pain to walk to A to B

I think the Reaper wraps are the best bracers in game. Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen anything better than the RW, maybe +10 more stats but that doesn't matter because the Health globe bonus is too good and ofc the guarantee elemental % too

I switch my main attack to Archon everytime I fight a boss. Archon so OP kamehamaha style!~

Just wondering anyone here looted a Lacunis yet? or seen one? What are the stats like?

My legacy ones were great but haven't seen any post RoS

 

[smackababy]

I think Reaper Wraps are one of the best, but only if you need the resource regen. Realistically, every legendary bracer will roll the same +20% elemental damage, main stat, (vit/AR/LoH/whatever), and CC as the 4 primary rolls. Actually, if you don't need the survivability, there are bracers that roll APS as a primary (not Lacuni's, but something else) that would end up being better DPS wise.

Currently, I am wearing Strong Arms with 19% fire and 5.5% crit. The added effect of increased damage after knock back is nice when I crit twice in a row with Cluster Arrow.

I really want a pair of trifecta Magefists though. fire damage, aps, crit, crit damage would be amazing!

True. You play DH don't you? Reaper wraps are OP for you.

Took me 2000+ shards for my trifecta magefist -_-

EDIT - nvm you do play DH 'I crit twice in a row with Cluster Arrow.' ;P

 

[TallBill]

Only 2000? That's cake. 40 rifts

Yeah, I've had terrible luck rolling Reaper Wraps (and most things in general). I've made around 10 Aughild's pieces and they've all been complete junk.


I really need to find a good Andy's and a nice set of Magefists.

1 Flawless gem will cost you 9.8M gold and 81 marquise gems. This is assuming you begin with marquise gems. Having some imperial gems will reduce this cost.

I love Strong Arms. think they are BiS for monks, especially if you run in groups because the increased damage is applied to enemy mobs like a debuff so every member of the group benefits from it.

Wow that's a lot. Never even had that much gold at one time. I think my total gold earnings is maybe 15 million.

To be honest, once you start doing Rifts, each yellow you pick up can be sold for anywhere from 3-6K. Fill your bag with like 20+ of those yellows and you can gather gold fairly quickly. Not to mention as you are doing rifts, you pick up a good deal of gold.

 

[KevinCU]

If you need gold you can do the "Clear the Hell Rift" bounty on Torment6 in Act IV. Each turn-in nets ~420k gold and if you get the "Cursed Chest" event that's an extra 200k. Takes me about 5 minutes to do each run.

 

[lupi]

I've never had more than about 4 million. Once I get up around there its time to start combing more gems till I'm at about 500k.

Crafted some Reaper's Wraps yesterday. Could have been better, but not too bad. Wish they rolled with Arcane or cold instead of Fire. So I can either replace that fire and hope to get arcane or cold, or I can get rid of something else and just switch to a fire build. Not that many great fire builds though.

 

[Harabec]

My Crusader just got an interesting set of pants...Hammer Jammers. "These large pants cannot be touched". LOL

Are reaper's wraps any better than any other leg bracers? I've gotten like 4-5 different leg bracers and they are all the same, 4 main stats, 2 secondary stats. With the mystic, I feel like all those braces could be pretty much the same.

I know some bracers like Nemesis Bracers will spawn elites at shrines which is kinda cool, but I guess is farming for the mats for Reaper's Wraps worth the time?
