1. Flawless imperial gems to reroll rings and amulets is fucking retarded.
2. Flawless royal gems to craft certain items makes every single one of those recipes utterly worthless to get as a drop.
3. The cost of unsocketing a gem... see #1.
To be fair if you want to unsock it for free then salvage the item. You can't have your cake and eat it too with cheap/free unsocks.

Did an hour of T6 Manglemaw just now with a party of 4 and got about 4 crappy legendaries (me alone, Drytyrm got a sexy new set piece), probably 15 leg crafting pieces, and about a level of XP at PL150. Overall not too shabby. Abuse it while it lasts.
Thanks for dragging a shitty WD with btw.

Got a pair of new boots that I rerolled +INT onto and a bunch of crafting mats (11 cartilage). Decent time. now if I could just farm up death's breath as easily.

are they still basically the slowest class in the game at 70?

only thing that would bother me, I played WD and that was considered slow.
Oh yeah if you think WD is slow, then you haven't played Crusader. WD with the -1sec on every cooldown per kill and spirit walk isn't so bad, as long as you stop every 5secs to kill a pack of shit(so they suck when there's low density, but you can more or less keep running with spirit walk if there's large packs and a lot of them). Crusader is shit regardless, with your best bet a cooldown that moves faster than spirit walk but has no way to be reduced besides CDR(other than Akarat Champion, which is a 90secs cooldown itself) and since the base is 25secs, even with a solid 40% CDR you're still looking at 15seconds, more than spirit walk base cd. Oh and if you use a 2H, which really synergizes well with your cooldown based nukes(bigger damage per hit is better when you can't spam a skill), then you're double fucked since you move 15% slower all the time.

They overnerfed the horse, or the 2H talent, or both. I think the 2H talent should have a DPS penalty instead to further reinforce big hits vs damage per second, say like an attackspeed penalty but the movespeed reduction is crippling when trying to farm. And horse needs to not suck, 2(3 with a rune) of high speed on a 25secs cooldown is ridiculous. Teleport Wormhole is on 16seconds(and there's a passive to decrease every cooldowns by 20% as well as another that resets the cooldown on teleport if you get hit for more than 15% of your life), Spirit Walk is on 12secs(and there's a passive to reduce cooldowns based on kills), Dashing Strikes is on a 8 secs "cooldown" and there's a 10% movespeed passive that goes over the cap, Sprint has no cd but requires ressources, which can be generated with a 2nd skill and a shitty rune as well as passives, this one is meh but it can be sustained and finally DH don't give any fucks and more or less have permanent 60% bonus movespeed with Tactical Advantage.

Only redeeming feature is once you have 6pc bonus of your class set, you get a 50%reduction on Akarat cooldown, which with more cdr shoud drop it around 40seconds or so, it lasts 20secs and you can rune it for 30%movespeed, meaning you'll be running fast half the time, which is pretty cool. But like 6pc class set(or well 5 with the bounty ring) is crazy requirements to have "decent speed". Also there's a shield that removes the penalty for 2H, so that makes the class a bit less crap. Could also use a 1H instead, but you lose quite a lot of damage potential I feel if you do.

Does no one use that shield charge skill at 70? I just started a Crusader and got to like 20 and I just use that to fly around between packs.

Is anyone else still super pissed that there are no 6 primary affix items anymore? It really hurts to get a drop with 3 good primary affixes and 2 shitty secondary ones and know that you will never make it a better item. They need to go back to 4-6 affixes total with no distinguishing between primary/secondary and the let RNG do the rest. That means if I roll 4 good affixes I can make it great by changing one of the shitty 5th or 6th ones into a good one.

If you charge a jailor elite, it desyncs and you have to relog. It's nice otherwise, I used it while leveling too, until I ran into the issue too often and said fuck that I'll use something else.

I tried to start leveling one, but holy shit. I've been so spoiled by farming with Conviction on my Monk. Completely skipping through walls/ledges/etc with Dashing Strike makes movement SO EASY.

Every time we (Monk/Monk/Wizard) farm T1/2, every time we skip walls or something, I can just imagine my buddy sighing over TS. I almost feel bad.

Edit: Farming with +57% Lightning Damage is hilarious. My paper doll DPS isn't too high (550k) but with the TF jumps, shit just falls over, even off-screen. I still wish I had the raw power of Wizards though. Holy shitballs are they insane.

I need to make an alt. What class is the opposite of a Wizard?

Feel like I should make a barbarian...

That would make lotto loot even worse. Now it isn't good enough I got 4 primary gloves with 3 of the 4 DPS stats I want now I need to pray I get 6 primary gloves with 5 of the 6 I want. No thanks.

Crafting drops unless you are on higher torment levels seem horrible. Even on T4 the rates are abysmal, when I cranked it up to T6 they seemed to drop about 40% of the time. IMO I wouldn't waste time doing it. Everything I spent time camping to craft basically was a waste because of the totally random affixes. Wands were the same, they max damage at 2k so with a good % Damage roll you might get a "cute" one but nothing that compares to the 2590 dps ones dropping.
Crafted xbows and hand xbows suck but both crafted bows can roll dps into the 2700's.

Dropped hand xbows are just more interesting though, because of their orange text effects. My personal opinion is that Calamity is BIS because the MfD effect on it is now 100%, and it rolls the same damage range as that Danetta's Spite you posted. I just hope I don't get another Kridershot, since I'm completely committed to fire damage now:

DH0331.png

+73% fire
+30% elites
+26% bolas (that explode instantly)
+29% cluster arrow

Kridershot would fuck up everything.

To be fair if you want to unsock it for free then salvage the item. You can't have your cake and eat it too with cheap/free unsocks.
What if, like Kreugen mentioned a page or so back, I want to see if my weapon should have an emerald or a ruby in it? It's a stupid gold sink in a game that doesn't even NEED gold at all anymore.

WD is fun, and slam dance is hilarious with a bunch of wizards in your group. Piranhas I'm still not sure about - it's an internal struggle.
