**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

[Cuular]

I know that sometimes my sycophants drop off, and other times it takes an abnormally long time to summon any at all. It's the main reason why I only summon a fetish army when I need to, instead of doing it as soon as I can.

The density fixes that are coming will help me out greatly. It can be a major pain to summon sycophants when you're only running into a couple monsters 15 seconds apart for an entire rift level. I don't even know why it was an issue to begin with. Sparse monster population doesn't vary grifts in any way that isn't infuriating. If density is up, my sycophants stay up. If not, my dogs and piranhado provide enough protection.

I was lucky enough to get a Sun Keeper to drop. The +elite damage helps a ton.

I was lucky enough to get the 3rd piece of Zuni to drop, with decent rolls on it. So for now I have the fetish up all the time. And yeah the grifts that have long empty hallways between small groups are annoying.

With having fetish up all the the time, I was T5ing with no issues.

I have 3 Sun Keepers in the bank, but even with the highest level green gem, they are still 35% or greater below the current weapon. And the 3 SKs are 28-30% bonus. So they aren't quite worth trading up for.

And yeah when I broke the dogs out from using Tall Mans Finger to give me more bodies, that was working, until I got the rest of my current setup in place. Running with just the Single dog wasn't cutting it in T4 when the mob density was higher. Low mob density then was actually appreciated.

going back through and watching the couple blizzcon events I missed. the diablo design a legendary was one of the last, looks like they did the first half talking about design of the game as it came out and how playing it lead to redesigning it for reaper. actually a pretty good listen.

The Zuni 4 pc bonus is nice for now, especially since you don't have a Starmetal Kukri (SMK) to allow you to skip using that bonus. SK is probably one of the better pet weapons after SMK and Rhen'ho Flayer. A decently rolled one with high elite damage percent should be pretty decent stopgap before finding the good ceremonial knives.

With high mob density, that should allow you to keep more fetishes out with the passive, and the damage bump with a TMF and at least the Midnight Feast passive quickly outweighs having more dogs out.

Woohoo, finally got my furnace to drop, only took 50 souls and 50mm gold to get the 10% damage.

I think the folks you were playing with deserve a Finders fee.

Definitely!

Definitely!

Good things happen to good people after all the help you have gave me you earned it

Nice one:thumbsup:

I think that's an issue with the trading system being broke more than anything else. Sadly, they said they were fine with how trading is currently handled.

I would fix the trading like this:

You can trade any items you got to someone that is in your friendlist and was added before you got the drop.

I would also keep the rest of the party sharing for 2 hours.

That's luck:sneaky: Have yet to see either or a unity for that matter.... only Par 200 though and running T3 and 4 most of the time.

Unitys start dropping like hotcakes for me once I got on T6 consistently.Now I need to get my dh t6 ready. suppose I will watch some videos while I am off for three weeks around Christmas.

How long did it take everyone to rank up their legendary gems to 25? I just hit rank 7 and my success rate already dropped to 60%. I am guessing it will take long time to get to 25.

Hey, it will help to do some higher GRs with friends who can carry you a bit. If you are in the clan, just pop in and ask for it. Lots of us are down to help.

Yes, trying to get randoon players to grift is hard so i will have to do that. SirPaulsio42 was helping me level up on T6 a few times already. But i still die way too easy. Of course i was putting too many points into max life and he said to do armor and resistence that helps but still even with a mantra of healing i die. But I do enjoy it.

I think it just takes time.

I will be on again tonight god willing, so if you are on look me up I am always willing to help. Others have helped me so just passing it on.

 

[sweenish]

So, they're running the 50% off sale. Am I on crazy pills, or can I not buy a giftable copy of Reaper of Souls from battle.net?

 

[Adrenaline]

I have one of the best Countess Julia's Cameo amulets I have seen. It took about 100 total rolls.

That is not my normal belt.

 

[sweenish]

After losing my HC WD, I'm going to stick to softcore for a bit.

DH got M6, but I still only feel comfortable around T4.

I am thinking that the Bombardier's Rucksack is what I need to go after next. I'm not too concerned with T&T, since 2.1.2 will dramatically change how M6 works.

What's my farm focus, and what should I roll?

I am working on getting a diamond in my helm, it's just expensive and I don't want to give up the HP until then.

If you have M6, drop turrets and run around behind them dodging everything. You can do T6 all day.

Marauder's Boots
Bracers
Rucksack
Unity / SoJ
Then a Kridershot / Calamity / Witching Hour

 

[sweenish]

Against trash, yeah.

blue mobs and some yellows just kick my butt.

I may not be scrambling enough, but I think the major thing is the lack of DPS and attack speed.

I did get some strongarm bracers (and marauder's boots, so I have some wiggle room for other equipment), so I'm going to call that good for now and move onto the rucksack.

Yeah, I don't think you are strong enough to do T6. T5 maybe. Looks like you have very low CC and CD, looks like less than 30% CC and about 250% CD?

There are a couple of things you can do right off the bat. Your RORG is useless as you have a full M6. Do you not have a better ring? Otherwise, what about another legendary for helm or glove? You should also roll the LOH on the RORG into CC. I would also re-roll the LOH on your bracer into cold damage. On your gloves, I would again roll the life regen into CD. Honestly, you have quite a lot of health and regen right now, you can easily sacrifice some of that for more damage.

Other things you might look at: crafting a bow such as an unbound bolt, assuming you have enough attack speed to keep at your current break point. Right now, your current xbow is quite weak.

 

[sweenish]

The RoRG is from before I got the last piece. I'll dig around and see if I have anything better, otherwise I'll re-roll it.

But thank you for the advice. I'll get started on those rolls.

Any particular reason why I should roll cold instead of fire? Only one of my spenders is cold.

I would understand it (rolling cold as opposed to fire) if I had a second slot for bane of the trapped, but I feel like Enforcer is the way to go if I can only have one legendary gem at the moment.

 

[OlyAR15]

You are using two cold skills: frost arrow and cluster arrow maelstrom. Overall you will have a slight advantage with cold over fire, but the difference isn't huge so if you get a perfect 20% fire roll that would be fine.

 

[sweenish]

Good to know. I got most of the rolls, I think I'm up to ~700k DPS and breakpoint 5.

I'm gambling for the rucksack and still working on the last roll or two. It is nice to finally be up in the higher difficulties. I wouldn't mind some extra CDR, but that'll come.

 

[JimKiler]

I got a second R. Gift allowing me to socket another weapon. Both my weapons are socketed. Can I add a second socket to one of them?

Too bad i cannot use them on rings and amulets so I can have another legendary gem.
