**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

It usually works, but I wish there was like a slider bar for what you want smart loot to target. I like my monk and all and it's what I want gear for the most, but at the same time it's not always what I want to play - I'd like giving more time to my wizard and barb at least but that significantly reduces my chances of finding what I want for monk.

Lag of any kind is the devil.

the only lag i get tends to be server side. i swear D3 will pick days where it just says you are going to be lagged.

I still get low pings and good rate when i run speedtest.

 

[Rhezuss]

It's the mouse that lags (really minor) and not the game. The game runs smooth with DSR on.

But I'm thinking about playing native, sometimes the mouse should be there but it's here instead

Run the game in full-screen window mode. It helps with those framerate drops.

I only got on for a couple of minutes last night and everything worked great
I just got the card (Gigabyte 970 gaming) last night so I did install the new drivers that came out yesterday maybe that's why... I may have some time to get on tonight and play with it some more.

Rhezuss what do you have your DSR smoothness option set to?

I have mine at 15%. I prefer more jaggies/crispiness than blurriness. Anything under 25% is ok.

Thanks set mine to 10% and it looks great. I got to do 3 GR's T4 last night and did not notice the mouse lag at all... I do have a usb mouse on a 3.0 connector not sure what your running just throwing out ideas.

Finally got my WD up to T3 maybe could go up to T4 but haven't tested yet. Looking for some pointers as to what I need to be on the lookout for to be able to move up to higher Torments.

Currently going for a 1 man army thing.

Current gear:
RRoG
Leoric ring (at least 2 between +CC%, +CD%, +AS%)
Azurewrath (22-23% freeze chance)
MoJ (+80-90% pet damage)
T&T (around +45% pet AS)
Aughilds shoulders and bracers
Zuni boots, mojo and just gambled last night and got the chest)
Golden Gorget (at least 2 between +CC%, CD%, +AS%)
Helltooth pants (was using chest also for 2 pc bonus but trying Zuni for now)

Skills:
Rain of Toads
Piranhas - Wave of Mutilation
BBV - Slam dance
Gargantuan - Bruiser
Dogs - Leeching Beasts
FA - Legion of Daggers
Zombie handler
Pierce the Veil
FS
Midnight Feast

I haven't had a chance to see if the xbox 360 got the patch that allowes FA & FS to work together so may have to do something different there. Don't have any +% elements so far but have +% Gargantuan damage and +% Rain of toads damage.

I'm copy/pasting some concise advice I saw on reddit in regards to pet doctors

To echo what some others are saying, Pet Doctor.
Once you hit 70, spend a few hours running split normal bounties. This will be the only multiplayer you need to do. You'll get keystones for opening rifts, and a good selection of quality yellows and maybe even a legendary or two. At this point, you are ready for T1 Rifts.
Run solo rifts in your yellows. Pick up everything and salvage it all. Whenever you get 500 Blood Shards, gamble with Kadala for a helm. You are looking for a Mask of Jeram. You are also looking for crafting recipes, which drop frequently. Once you get a few key recipes - Aughild's, and either Cain's or Asheara's, craft yourself some gear. You're now ready for T2.
When you get a Mask of Jeram, you are ready for T3.
If you manage to get a certain ring, The Tall Man's Finger, you are ready for T4.
If you manage to get Tasker and Theo's gloves, you are ready for T5.
Once you trick out your remaining gear with good, solid upgrades and tweak out your crafted stuff - you are ready for T6. Keep an eye out for a Thunderfury, then a Rhenho, then an SMK.

I can't speak directly to all the skills, but why aren't you using piranhado? crowd control is very important for squishy WD's.

Pet doctors are also strictly +physical.

Have most of the gear mentioned in the quote, except Tall man ring. I'll have to check the blacksmith but what's the good thing about Cains & Asheara pieces?

Haven't tried prianhado, just went with the wave rune because it makes all enemies it hits take +% damage for so many seconds.

At the moment for crowd control been relying on the freeze effect from my Azurewrath that actually happens pretty often and works on champions/elites. Along with Garg, 4 dogs and max(15?) fetish from FS running around tends to block a lot of enemies from even getting close unless in wide open areas.

Piranhas itself adds the +% damage over time. You need to look at the just the skill, then the runes. Piranhado stays on the screen longer and sucks enemies into it, likely affecting a largeer amount of enemies.

Cain's I can't recall off-hand, I think there's some +movement speed. Aughild's is always a must, and you have it. Asheara's has decent toughness, but I think it's the 4 piece bonus that they're going after, but I don't think it's all that special.

I prefer Captain Crimson for the toughness bonuses it provides, and it doesn't interfere with Aughild's at all.

I also mix in Demon's something or other, but that's because I never seem to have great legendary bracers or belts.

I think the Uhkapian serpent mojo is also something you want to keep an eye out for. Maybe one of the negating amulets like Countess Julia's Cameo.

New post for bump.

I FINALLY got the MoJ for my HC WD, that's exciting. I'm debating jumping into T3, but I think I want to make some tweaks first, like getting sockets into my weapon and pants. Maybe also crafting a legendary mojo (spite) that doesn't suck, but that last one's not as necessary.

Anyway, I'll put a link to my profile at the end of the post. My main questions are: Is Vit the best thing to roll off the weapon for a socket, and what should I roll the +Life% to on my MoJ?

Thanks to the peeps that ran me through T6 Rifts yesterday on my Crusader 70(60ish) that ended up 70(93), started with 1.2M gold and ended with 10.5M, got lots of legs, set pieces and plans!

Even though I didn't really contribute to those runs and died more than once it was great and i'm willing to do this again if some of you don't mind.

Thanks again!

 

[Tweak155]

What is a good DH build if you don't have the 6pc yet? I find Cluster Arrows with the rocket rune & rocket damage boost passive does a lot of damage, but wondering if there is something better?

The other boosts I rely on are slowed mobs 20% increase and pet call that increases damage 30%.

I find it fun boosting people and watching their levels skyrocket. Plus you increase my drop chances just by being around and T6 rifts are easy peezy for me now. Anytime I am on unless I am running greater rifts solo just jump into my games. I am Gargamoth in there, just FYI.

Anyone want to swap power levels on seasons mode tonight? I PLed some guy last night then he told me it was his first seasons character to 70, never again in general chat. I'm on the US server and available around 8 eastern tonight.

Gargamoth, you were the one that invisted me last time, thanks again!
I'll probably log in tonight, hope you can skyrocket me to awesomeness again lol!

Thanks to SirPaulos and TeddBert for yesterday's Rift runs!
Got me some new shiny stuff like a nice Ring of Royal Grandeur!

I can now solo Torment II...

My equipment goes like this now:

Perhaps I will have to give this a try. I am only doing T2 currently. I just need to make sure i don't jump into a group already saturated with lower level characters.

I have been recreationally playing video games for years but my wife is upset that i am addicted to D3 in the last couple months.

hey Rhezuss, Pericles here - hit me up whenever you are on if you need something

Garg - you are the man!

Thanks again Gargamoth, Pericles, SirPaulos and one other I don't recall for the runs yesterday. When I woke up after a 4 hours night I regretted it a bit, it's just 0s and 1s after all lol.

But I skyrocketed from 70/103 to 70/122 and grabbed some new plans et some loot for alts. Nothing for my Crusader though except for the random set pants I got from the first blood shards I spent at the end of the session.

I dropped some damage for more HP and Toughness and now at 287K DPS / 19.3M Toughness / 952K HP.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GomJabbar-1899/hero/49133175

I really need to do something about my damage...

 

[sweenish]

Swap righteousness and fanaticism for blunt and holy cause.

At the least, get blunt in there.

And work on getting those extra 4 sockets.
