I can't confirm if this is consistent or not, but if your nephalim rift is the prisons from act 1 (where you free the jailed spirits prior to the butcher) there is a TON of elites and even an area where there is literally 10-15 treasure goblins who only initially flee and spread out when you hit them. Looks like you have to do a certain amount of damage to get them to actually start to open their portal. After killing 3-4 I found another 5-6 that ran in different directions off screen and were just standing there waiting to be killed.

I was going to finish the whole rift because of the elite density but then some fucking level 24 crusader (Drew? in the clan) joined my game and completed the rift quest...

Figuring out that One With Everything is broken again. Items can only roll up to +100 allres, but they can roll +160 single resists. Also, some legendaries seem to be exempt from the enchanting restriction that you can't have a single resist stat and allres stat on the same piece. Just saw a legendary with 3 sockets, 100 allres, and 160 arcane resistance. That's +500 AR from one piece of gear, I hear some Monks are going over 100m Toughness.
There is no such restriction for any items. All res is a primary, single res is a secondary. Single res and all res used to be exclusive during beta and they removed. They must have known what would happen with OWE, so no fucking clue if it's going to stay this way or not. Until then, I'm stacking lightning(thundergod) or poison(andy) resist!

Yes, they are primary/secondary but they can't both be on the same item with the exception of some legendaries. Take any rare with allres or a single resist to the mystic and click the ? to see possible affixes. If its got allres, the single resists won't show up and vice versa.

On T1 how in the hell do you fight the mobs who are constantly laying AOE on the ground, specifically the poison? It is taking me forever to kill mobs and the fights against yellow and blues is taking several minutes with a lot of deaths.

I assume you're a melee? It sounds like you need higher damage, or conversely more resists so you can just face tank and run out to grab a health globe or use a pot. The tiers scale pretty well (ie if t1 is slightly too hard then master should feel just right, if t2 is slightly too hard then t1 should feel just right, etc).

You lower the difficulty setting. If you don't have the toughness to stand in some AE even for a bit, you can't cut it on the difficulty.


Xequecal, swear I thought I saw some all res/single res rares, must have been my thundergod belt from level 60. Not that big a deal, most slots will want to max out offensive stats first anyway. Substitute in sockets/vit/life%/armor instead.

I'm not sure why you would every want to socket a non diamond in anything but helms. They have like six times the itemization points. Any given item can roll like 600 mainstat or vitality, but a max of 100 allres. Diamonds give allres at a 1:1 ratio to main stat.

That stops as soon as you get past imperial gems. Stat gems rocket up crazy fast. Flawless imperial is...180? or so, and the top tier ones are even crazier.

Dropped it down from T1 at 70 in Act 5 to Master and things have settled down, kill speed on whites is low enough, and I don't get insta-gibbed by champs. Switched in Law of Valor (critical), and just picked up a new flail. Wondering if I should reforge the area damage or life to wrath stat for STR.
I'm baffled that you think kill speed is low enough...

I've got 100k more damage than you and master feels slow as fuck still.

Got very lucky yesterday with drops and plans (got 4 legendary plans). Got the new cain's set, farmed magda like a moron for hours trying to get the legendary crafting mat. I finally got one just to realize they're asking for a fucking flawless royal ruby for each craft (yes, the 10 mils one).

Currently running bounties / rifts on t2 and legendary mat runs on t4.gogusrl - Community - Diablo III

Did a Rift level today which was basically 1 gigantic straight hallway for a solid 10 minutes, was actually kind of great, lots of loot in that one. I actually enjoy bounties more then rifts, but the shards from rifts make them required, so whatever its not awful. Also got the Chantodo set offhand from gambling so you can get pretty good stuff, just can't get Torment ONLY legendary items (Immortal Kings, Tal Rasha's and Follower ones, etc)

Anyone have a good barb build? Making an alt and since every build is viable at some gear level, hard to find sources I trust.

tip: use the last rune in Laws of Valor if you play a crusader to have 100% uptime of 3 paragon orbs. enjoy

Yeah it's not very obvious since marquise are basically 1:1 and I believe imperials are also close, but flawless royal is 280main stat and diamond 78all res, so that's a pretty big difference.

Monks make some WD friends asap. The self buff from the Unity passive counts every WD pet, even the little fetish dudes.

i did whole 0 -70 with crusader in t1 (was 60 when i killed diabloe). Actually when i dinged 60, i switched to t2, but then after 20 min on urzael, and dieing at 5%.. switched back to t1 and cleared up without much problems.

Hardest fights for me were Adria/Malth, mostly being anti melee. I generally run with slash/armor + first of heaven/ret or bash/pound, for builder/finisher. Other skills are condmen with the range rune, heaven fury/ascendacy, champion of akkerat with 150% armor, and resist law with armor rune. Very very hard to die with so many def cds (im going around 92%+ dmg reduction with champion active). For bosses (malth/adria) i generally switch condemn for phalanx with the 2 avatars, use bash/pound as finisher. With adria i had to use the hammer that heal you as a builder, and used targeted bormb as well, but thats it.
