Sprint is, by far, the most efficient skill I have on my hotbar for killing efficiency. The density is worse in RoS and rifts can sometimes have a TON of downtime between packs. The only valid reasons you would not have Sprint, imo, is if you have the War Cry belt with -Cooldown% so it is up almost 100% or the LeapQuake set where you simply don't have enough hotbar slots.
I copied your build last night after we talked, mostly your passives and sprint and it worked well. Do you think the same passives and skills just fire version is ok?

Yeah I thought about that, i'll give it a whirl tonight most likely.
And couldn't you rune Leap with the Arreat and run Strongarm bracers? They proc on that pull in effect I believe. I'm not just sure how much you need Wraps with EQ+Earthen Might. Not having the set the stun may be better ot just hold shit down, though.

I think for low torment levels these are the passives you want to run regardless of the element of choice. Brawler probably being the one that could be swapped out based upon preference.

I really really like the stun. I have good strongarms and tried Call of the areat at some point, but found the stun to be a lot more comfortable to play with.

Yeah moving HOTA around between Lightning and Fire I sometimes forget how nice the stun is on the rune. With fire you kill something and shit just runs around like little fuckers and you have to spend over double the HOTA swings just chasing down all these individual cunts where with Lightning you kill one and it stops everyone in their tracks to let Bloodshed do the work.

Leaching beasts are pretty good and allow you not to worry about your life, as soon as they hit something It goes right back up. Spirit walk allows to move fast.
My healing score is 0, so leeching beasts are no good for me. I went with Burning Dogs for a while, but the damage was still terrible, and so I didn't think it was worth the slot over WP Garg, or Voodoo dance, or Piranhado.

I cringe when I see a WD recommending not to take Spirit Walk. It's one skill I can't imagine not having on my bar at all times.

I'm always build for all-out offense and maximize movement speed. Then I just do whatever Torment level I'm able to do with this style of build. There is literally zero incentive to "surviving" a higher torment than just facerolling and zipping from pack to pack on a lower torment. Could I unsocket all my rubies for diamonds, take war cry and swap out defensive passives and farm T5? Of course I could. Is there a fucking point? No.
I find that lightning WW is still king for speed-farming T1. It also frees up your bracer slot for Warzechian Armguards which, together with Fire Walkers, make you hilariously fast in any zone with breakables. Even without Fire Walkers you can just break shit with WW, but it's just easier with the Walkers. Their damage effect is also underrated, mine tick for 800k/sec. The build has room for WotB as well due to having infinite fury and thus no need for War Cry or anything like that, and you're free to use the fire or lightning runes on CotA which increases their DPS significantly. You can run the build without a fury generator, but I tend to keep Frenzy because it's better for single-target if you use proccing weapons, and also not much can go in the left mouse slot and WW feels weird there.

Anyone else getting the same legos over and over again? In the last 3 days I've gotten a 2nd Fulminater, a 2nd Tgods, a 2nd Genzanaku, 2 Sledge Fists, and a 4th Deadmaus neck. It is getting irritating especially since I have yet to see a SoH or Thunderfury or a single piece of Inna's. But to be fair, I've gotten a few more set plans and these, but still, If I loot another fucking deadmaus necklace I might ragequit.
I've gotten around six deadmau5 amulets, ten triumvirates and five flavor of time. Those items probably constitute around half of the level 70 legendarily I've gotten since RoS was released.

Almost all my good stuff (Magefists, SoJ, Quetzalcoatl, etc.) that I'm actually wearing came from a couple days of T6 Core runs pre-nerf.

Every time I see "Everything drops the same and RNG gonna RNG" I can't help but think "All lies, fuck you, the game is reading my mind and vindictively denying me what they want on principle".

I'm approaching there point where there is no novelty, only grind.

Interest must have dropped pretty hard - i remember having 20+ ppl online from friendlist pretty frequently, now its like 2-4 when i log into d3. Then again outside of running a rift or 2 a day now i dont really play it either unless the exploitoftheweek pops up then my "toon" is on all day.

Yeah, it takes like two weeks to get to the point where you can play several days straight without finding an upgrade. It's pretty stupid.

Before it was alot of bad items and rarely many legendaries, now its alot of bad items and alot more bad legendaries. I'm more or less waiting to see how tiered rifts do - not like there is much else to play atm.

Any game that makes you think back to all the grinds you did before and consider checking out WoW for even 2 seconds is not motivating enough.

Spirit walk is my get out of jail free card (and so are my skeleton king pauldrons sometimes!). Because it breaks every root and every effect, it makes you immune, and since I have a ton of meatshields (fetish/dogs) I don't ever get brought out early. The mobility is amazing. The only thing spirit walk doesn't do is break though waller walls or walk directly through enemies, but since enemies don't swing at you while you're in spirit walk, that last part isn't too relevant. The run speed buff/mobility increase are just a bonus. Given the build is so reliant on pet damage (and mine is also on fire dmg, because magefist and Visage), I wanted one out while face tanking/spraying bats. Pirahanado is PRETTY close, as it does stun for the duration, but i mainly use it to gather mobs or interrupt. It's pretty hilarious to watch party members melt through a group of 10+ stuck in a pirahanado.

For dogs... it's dogs or it's garg. I get an extra dog from a passive, so it's really just "additional toughness" in the meatshield area since dog damage scales like dogshit (har har) unlike sycophants and army fetishes

Nothing worth being hardcore at atm - The Division and Destiny are the only games that even look remotely worth dumping alot of hours in this year.
