So I got in 1 T6 rift before bed time. Initial impressions. Went from 7m to 16m million on my cota crits. I hit harder, but so does everything else. Now have a furnace in my stash that is 3600 DPS/ +40% elite DMg. No socket though. Will have to wait for a ramaldis gift to drop. Got a keystone for a greater rift.

So I played for about 4 hours last night, got kicked off network like three times, first two got back on fairly quickly (<5 minutes) last time around 11:30EST it was going to be a 20 minute queue and I said screw that and went to bed.

In that time, killed Urzael, which had been putting off, fight was a little hairy but not as bad as expected (this was the first boss who did in my monk & witch doctor in SC multiple times in previous runs). Also numerous elites & rares, almost made it to Adria.

Found a pair of treasure pygmies right next to each other out front of Urzael's tower, killed both, no portal. And saw no other pygmies the whole night.

And in all that play, not a single legendary drop. A few better rares, including a new weapon that took my paper DPS from ~56k to ~97k which was AWESOME but come on, four hours of play and no legendary drops?

My first rift after logging in (t4) dropped 6 legendaries for me. Not including the greater key. It was insane. All of them were useless but hey... Of course after trying for a Hellskull for over a month now that they are slightly nerfed one dropped for me within an hour or 2.1 dropping. lol.
Drop rate petered out after that first run though. Saw and killed 6 or 8 goblins but no portal.

Is the greater key a guaranteed drop?

I never tried the PTR, and I'm liking what I see so far.

Last night I played through one T4 rift, then a Rift of Trials (or whatever it is called), then the Greater Rift based on the level 17 greater key after the trials, and one normal set of bounties. In that time I saw about 8 goblins and one opened the portal - and I gained over 50 million gold in that one treasure portal - thanks gold community buff!

1 Ramaladni's Gift also dropped for me. How rare are those? I haven't used it yet on my pre-2.1 weapon, just in case they are super-rare, but I'm itching to try it.

yeah, i'd have guessed at least 4 in 4 hours...unlucky! I haven't heard that they reduced drop rates with the patch...

So The Furnace might be bis for a jade doc now?

How so? I have an int furnace siting in my stash now that I used to switch out for Elites. Guess I'll mess with it tonight.

I was barely able to connect last night, and finally got on late. Did a couple greater rift with buddies, and we're up to 32. It's cool getting 5-6 leg drops from the RG.

Looks like most of the wizard stuff is all buffs. How much of a nerf is the short time damage on disentegrate?

Well, with the significant damage boost to 2-handers, plus The Furnace now having +40-50% elite damage, dot damage (and subsequently Soul Harvest nuke damage) might be highest with this weapon.

It is. You would be giving up the OH though which has decent benefits.

I did the greed realm on my Barb in T6. It took about 30 minutes to get one. I made about 230 million gold doing that.

I have made it to GR 31 and it has either been mobs scattered so badly that the time ran out on the RG or filled with corrupted angels (the worst mob to have in a GR). I have done GR 30 with 3 minutes left a few times. It has just been bad luck of the draw.

The mini conduit gem is awesome

I should take off work tomorrow. Sure as I do there will be another DDOS attack. I have soccer practice tonight from 5:30 till 7, then committee meetings till 9. Upon returning home I'll have the chores for a family of 4. Stay in school kids.

Thinking about logging on for the first time. I've heard 2.1 is coming out today? Well, I'm not playing Season mode so what new content can I play now? Greater rifts? Is that it? -_-

Pretty much.

oh and hellfire ammy.
Thank you
Wow, I think I'm going to back out till next patch. Game will be dead in less than 2 weeks. Sorry I have no hope for this game anymore.
Maybe I'm wrong. I will watch some streams and check this thread now and then .
I wish I can give out all my gear.

I collected all the legendary gems now I think. I've had none drop in my past three Greater Rifts, so I guess I have them all. I've been focusing on upgrading the Bane of the Powerful (increased damage after killing elite packs) and have it at Rank 16 now. One of the major reasons as to why I'm interested in 2.1 is the Ramalandi's Gift... but of course after about 25+ Nephalem Rifts and around 15+ Greater Rifts I haven't found any (playing on Torment 3 for NRifts, and upgrading my GRifts to Rank 17 to 19 for soloing). And none of my current gear can be rerolled for a socket because I'm screwing up my build if I do that.

So, some questions...

How rare is the Ramalandi's Gift? I asked in my clan and some people seem to just have the luck (one guy found four already, go figure).

Additionally, the Vault (the goblin portal place), how rare(ly) does it spawn after killing goblins? Because of the bonus right now (paired goblins) I've killed a good 50+ of them (no exaggeration, I just keep running into them) and out of them all I've had only one portal open, and that's it. And, note that I'm referring to goblins that I've killed while doing bounties (not in Rifts).

Anyway, so far most of the changes are good, so once more I think that I'll keep playing for about two or three weeks until the novelty wears off (just like when Reaper of Souls was released, it was fun for about three weeks or so, then I got bored beyond measure, maybe this time it'll last a little longer).

The Wreath of Lightning (I believe this is what the conduit gem is called) is amazing. I have mine up to level 21.

Damn it. Played another 2.5 hours last night, not a single goblin or legendary sighted in that whole time. Killed Adria (first time, in story mode) and no legs. This is two major boss fights in a row with no legs. Sheesh, RNGesus hates me or something.

Maltheal will drop, guaranteed.

Depending on what level you're at, it could be worth it to grind out to 70 before fighting him.
