Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

Well I setup CM differently since I found a post on the forums, if you put nova on right click you can just keep it pressed, along with diamond skin and explosive blast on keyboard, and the only key you have to mash is the tornado thingie so it's a lot less annoying like that. It's extremely efficient at clearing shit so that's cool. I used Spirit Blades while leveling, basically from the moment I unlocked it till inferno when I changed build, it seems like the best signature due to the high damage, and I used meteor most of the time with a switch to blizzard+hydra near the end cause meteor became redundant when I bought a 1k DPS 2H at lvl 52 and mobs would die to one or two ticks of blizzard on Hell 2.

There's a mp10 spirit blade build but it's very very gear dependant, it's just spiritblades plus a bunch of passives and illusionist+all the illusionist spells, so whenever you get crushed in melee you can pop teleport fracture, mirror image and time warp and keep leeching. Looks pretty fun but you need a really high DPS black weapon and a bunch of shit, didn't seem worth it to me.

Anyway just gonna farm the mobs for the hellfire shit since I can clear them pretty fast, gonna probably get me to paragon 20 or so before I'm done, then I think I'll consider leveling another char until PTR. Not that much else to play for now, march is pretty far and until then it's kinda shitty on game releases unless they release the PTR or I get invited to Wildstar or RoS beta.

Watching the RoS streams makes me want to play D3 so badly and then I go to my PC account, play for about 3 seconds, and then remember that our game is still the bastard step-child of both the console version and the goddamn F&F beta. Fuck this.

What are the better Monk skills/builds these days ? Spent a couple hours googling that question and just got confused because things have changed so much.

Depends on your gear and what you wanna farm, from what I've seen there's Tempest Rush which is good for paragon farming since you run around like an idiot but it kinda sucks at killing elites and is better for lower mp farming, there's the bell spam build which basically relies on high spirit generation via the heal rune that increases regen and the normal attack that puts a holy dot on shit, then you spam a bunch of bells into shit and they explode and for very high end there's an exploding palm build that just kills everything in one shot once you kill a single mob but apparently you need really high lvl of gear for it to work properly. The bell spam build seems to be the most common, search for Nirvana build I think it's been dubbed, or bell I've seen both.

I don't play my monk though just was looking around when I was trying to figure out what to level for farming. Monk is about average in terms of potency vs cost to gear. Barb is the best, DH is the worst, Wizard/monk/WD kinda falls in the middle but wiz tends to be cheaper when using CMWW.

The game did get quite a lot better in terms of finding shit, even though most of it is still crap, but I found several legendaries in the few hours I spent farming for keys, quite a few decent rares(but nothing actually worth a lot) and overall feel it's much better than at launch. The MP changes helps a lot, MP4-6 isn't very hard, it's actually probably close to old inferno, but it drops a fuckton more loot and mob density is much higher.

Have they made any mention anywhere that Diablo 3 will port to XBone? or just PS4?

I dont think they have plans for the xbox one currently, last i've heard. Just a bunch of exclusive shit on the PS4 currently

Well maybe I was lucky but I found a bunch so I assumed even if I was lucky the average would be decent. Biggest difference from release though is you don't farm bosses and shit anymore, you get your 5stacks in an easy zone then you just farm large packs of trash mobs since it's a lot faster xp/drops and it seems to be just as good. I generally kill the elites too but can easily skip them, I think most of the legendaries I got were from trash mobs but one which dropped from a key warden.

Anyway already tired of farming, just want to get my hellfire ring done and maybe finish my monk leveling. No one answered to my reddit post for ubers yet, hopefully can get it done during the weekend. Maybe I should farm another ring worth of machines though so I can get 2 rings, one vit for all around purpose and one specific for leveling later on.
