Gear aside, for skills I swapped vengeance out and put back in preparation: punishment reason being, I never used vengeance. Maybe its just me not using it correctly, but I would save it for elite packs and after I dumped 50-75% of my initial hatred. The problem with that is most elite packs were dead in one or two more cluster arrows so it seemed like a waste, especially when the next elite pack was right around the corner and both wolf and vengeance were down, that feeling was terrible. So I certainly get more sustained dps out of using prep: punishment than I did vengeance. I believe in order for vengeance to really be useful you need cdr and you can't have both the rrc you need for lfb build and cdr. With prep: punishment I use it all the time, I can unload all my hatred and disc allowing me to fire more ca's on each elite pack and each elite pack drops enough health globes that with blood vengeance passive I'm at full hatred/disc again for the next one.Suggestions:
Helm - 20% fire > 15% CA > 6% crit. Not sure I'd spend a lot of souls on an Andy that didn't already start out perfect (dex/fire/crit or CA/ias -> reroll to CA or crit) however. I'd try to get a Pride's Fall instead since they're so easy to reroll to dex/crit/CA/vit and the secondary effect is godly enough that it more than makes up for losing fire%.
Shoulders - Pray for Marauder's Spines to drop and roll perfectly or craft something with Dex/RCR/AE Damage/(Vit or AR).
Bracers - Consider making Reaper's Wraps now that Malthael should be fixed. You only need one person in a group with Strongarm, and ideally it's the monk since he's the one actually triggering the effect with CS.
Belt - Can't roll CA here actually, belts roll builder damage (which is useless to you with a Kridershot). Best stats for you would be dex/vit/AR/life%, which I see you already have. So basically you just need a Harrington with the same stats. Good luck with that.
Legs - Reroll regen to vit if you didn't already have to reroll for the sockets. Try to get Marauder's Encasement.
Boots - Reroll to CA damage. Try to get Marauder's Treads.
Quiver - Reroll to CA damage. Or don't, since it takes absurd luck to actually get 14-15% CA on a quiver because every single skill we have can roll in that slot.
For skills, swap Vengeance rune to Seethe. 10 hatred per second so you can [almost] spam CA the whole time it's active is way better than converting the damage to fire. I would also use frost arrow the vast majority of the time instead of screaming skull. Yes, you lose fire damage, but splitting into 10 projectiles more than makes up for that against trash. Switch back to fire for bosses.
Passives are situational. Cull the Weak is a must when you use frost arrow. Ambush is huge for clearing trash. I prefer Tactical Advantage and Steady Aim for the final two slots, but drop Steady Aim (for Blood Vengeance usually) on certain maps that I know will constantly put shit in my face and negate the effect. BV is probably better than TA in a group too, since sprinting around the map isn't terribly useful when you have to wait for the non-dex classes to slowly trudge along behind you anyway. Single Out is pretty much bosses-only. If the game would give me a goddamn Pride's Fall, I'd probably use Awareness a lot more to keep the effect up.
So for passives, I wouldn't be able to live without blood vengeance, but I am looking forward to crafting a reaper's wrap so I can use another passive in its slot. I personally would swap out archery for steady aim as I only find archery worth using now for a 2h xbow. If you did indeed swap to frost arrow I'd consider cull of the weak there also. I personally use steady aim solo since the majority of stuff is dead before it comes near me and cull of the weak in group play because things usually live longer and more than likely other people will be slowing too. I also personally prefer sharpshooter over single out, really there is no reason imo to use single out except for bosses. A lot of people knock sharpshooter and say its a "waste", but I find its synergy with ambush and wolf active too good to pass up, its at worse a 4% cc increase, usually more than that, sometimes way more than that. Critting is everything in lfb build, if you think about it, if you have 400% cd, 1 critting cluster arrow will do more damage than 4 non-crits so you get to spend way less in resources to do more damage.

Heres reddits list atm
Gloves of worships are fixed to last the intended 10 minutes on the fleeting and empowered shrine
New paragon portraits
Manglemaw drops (almost?) no loot
Commas in monster health numbers
Teleport-wormhole now teleports 3 times maximum , but the yards are increased from 35 to 50
Channeling time on opening a rift
New kadala mystery gear icons
Gem requirement for Legendary / Set gear has been changed to require Marquise rather then Royal Flawless.
Crazy Climbers, the act 3 quest in Rakkis Crossing, now requires you to kill the monsters in the tower rather than just running to the top and talking to the guy. No longer viable for power leveling.
Act 1 Blacksmith box has been moved and also doesn't block you anymore.
Quests you haven't completed are a different color in campaign mode.
Life per Spirit Spent is less weighted on your sheet healing it seems ( this is most likely just a tooltip thing and not an actual nerf )
Im liking the crafting change

I know what the Arc wizard I ran with did was buff Arcane Orb / Orbit, use Torrent / Disruption, and Teleport w/ Calamity through the pack to triple hit arcane. If you get hit again you can re teleport with orbs again etc.
@Vorph & Mud, thank you. Skull is cool but its such a small line that it damages that Frost Arrow might make it fun and worth the larger area.
@Mahes you are welcome to come to any group were running, fuck those people playing reindeer games. The point of a clan is to help each other, some people dont get that.

I never understand people that play this game like some kind of hard ass. That kind of shit would get you booted from my clan. If we're clearing too slow, we move to the next lowest. Pass weps around for transmog and if I don't need an item for an upgrade and someone else wants it, they're welcome to it.

That's the point, they're gems that drop easily and you likely have tons of already because of how much it costs to combine them.
Please fix bells. And OWE. And fire gens. And FoT. And holy gens. And LTK range. And Sweeping Winds being a huge pain in the ass without 3 piece Innas.

Many skills that spend Fury feel great, but when it comes time to generate Fury the single-target options don't feel meaty compared to the generators that can hit more than one target at a time. As a result, we are increasing the potency of those single-target generators to be more competitive.
Active Skills
Bash
Increased base damage from 170% to 215% weapon damage
Skill Rune - Clobber
Increased chance to stun for 1.5 seconds from 30% to 35%

Crusader
Philosophy
Many of the Crusader's Wrath spenders are below where we would like, while Heaven's Fury - Fires of Heaven was over-performing. We are toning back Fires of Heaven while increasing the potency of most of the other Crusader spenders to encourage greater build exploration.
The single-target Wrath generator spells, Punish and Justice, don't feel meaty compared to generators that can hit more than one target at a time. As a result, we are increasing the potency of Punish and Justice to be more competitive.
We are making a few adjustments to improve Steed Charge. The cooldown and duration of the skill have both been reduced. Overall, this makes the total uptime for the skill slightly higher and, more importantly, you'll be able to hit the button more often. We're removing the ability for Steed Charge to break stuns, which allows us to focus on Steed Charge being primarily a mobility skill that can still get you out of root effects, such as Jailer. We still want Steed Charge to be useful in combat, so we're also increasing the damage on damage-focused runes.

Teleport is receiving some changes to allow it to work in more situations. The range is being increased overall for each cast of Teleport. As a result, the Wormhole rune is receiving a reduction in the number of successive casts that can be completed.

Heres the notes
Holy fucking shit. Rest of the crusader changes are completely uninteresting since they need to reduce wrath costs on the other spenders rather than just buffing damage.
Really like that they have their class philosophy in the notes.
Amazing, can get Cain's 2pc now. Time to farm a reaper's fear.

Well I rather something require Marquise Diamonds rather then the current nothing because All Resist gems are total assThat's the point, they're gems that drop easily and you likely have tons of already because of how much it costs to combine them.
Please fix bells. And OWE. And fire gens. And FoT. And holy gens. And LTK range. And Sweeping Winds being a huge pain in the ass without 3 piece Innas.
