It can be frustrating. At the same time, it is a huge advantage if you manage to get your resists lined up since a single resist is a secondary stat. I just keep a stock of solid rares and legs so I can supplement my gear around the few pieces I want to build around.

Thats what I don't get about the legendary materials, the obviously don't want you to continuously recreate games and they've said it puts a heavy strain on the servers, so why go about legendary materials dropping the way they do? People on the official forums say they just remake games until the target they are looking for is a bounty. One of my targets was the bounty once out of the 100 or so games I created looking for it(in the process of actually farming/going look for it, I didn't create 100 games just to get a bounty on it). Actually, nerfing manglemaw types and chest runs I'm sure had a lot to do with reducing server strain also.

No one has actually confirmed any other sources for Glowing Ore besides Sartor, Magrethar and that campaign event in Pandafort 2. So their choices of crafting mat targets like that mean wizards are 100% going to chain reset until we get a bounty for them still.

Yeah, I tried farming Razorclaw for the twin seas essence and gave up after a while. It gets so damn boring and he doesn't spawn that often. Combine that with the fact that it will take probably quite a few combines for a tradeskill piece to replace my rare(set bonus withstanding), I'm just going to lump farming legendary mats in with bounty farming. If a certain act has blood shard bonus and its cache has items I want, I'll farm bounties for that act and hit up any uniques that have drops I want. Otherwise, doing rifts.
And until I get a SoH and TF, I might prioritize rifts > *.

Anyone do some testing with %Elemental Damage for CHD? In my brief testing I saw my spells basically doing the same damage for these stats. Basically what I was seeing is that a weapon with 20% Fire Damage was listed as 3.5% damage less than another weapon I have. So most people have said that you take that 3.5% and subtract that from the 20% Fire Damage and you get that much more dps from it. The thing is that my other weapon has 34% CHD and from what I was seeing my spells were hitting for the same if not a lil harder due to CHD. Anyone experience this?
I still use OWE, but it can't be counting for more than 150 - 200 of my overall resists. Most of the gear / legs that I have been finding have resist all in some form and they aren't close enough to ideal to reforge. After trying to milk some more DPS my resists hover around 1000. I don't venture higher than T1 on a regular farm basis at the moment though. I have been able to do up to T3, it is more slow / tedious.
I am considering attempting to counteract the resistance problem with heal on spirit spent / life on hit and it works relatively well so far. The only problem is if I fail to dodge a freeze or get jailed out of melee range it can cause problems, active mitigation tanking fail.

Is there a resource you guys are using to show you were stuff drops? Whether it's just a random legendary drop, or if it can be bought from Kadala? I'm mad that all my armor is still rares, so I want to try and target some specific upgrades. Thanks!

Crusaders get a taunt and a really decent root but have much better ranged attack vs barbs, and no not for a few mobs we were originally talking about a rift that was only ghosts that run.

Not for everyone. Play a few hours every night, and haven't gotten any thing but a legendary weapon, and legendary amulet. No big deal, but figured I'd try and target some upgrades. Clearly just need to play more, and I'd have everything I wanted.

I wish they would remove the physical realm spell limitation on the WD fetish passive. It would open up a lot more builds.
I'd LOVE to use spirit barrage (cold SoJ and Haunt being cold) over firebats, but it doesn't proc fetishes, so no go.
I'm loving the new haunt, with Quetzalcoatl my haunt is doing like 666% weapon damage a second for 2.5 minutes, for 50 mana. Malth melts to it and locust swarm on T1/T2.
Also, someone explain why WD don't have a single cold based signature spell/rune?

Then run rifts, ideally in group, and buy slots you want from Kadala. Specific farming is meh in my opinion, unless you have plans for a specific item you want to make.

That's what I do every night, just run rifts, and been buying 1 handers from Kadala in hopes of a Starmetal Kuri for my WD.
Thanks for the help man.
