You aren't. But aside from Zaphid already said, their reasons are generally different than yours. Most of them are poopsockers already, running core for chests is mind numbing, and they'll admit it, but they do it anyway because it might be the best way to get upgrades(for them). At that point, I can understand the need to want to maximize farming efficiency. They've played around with builds, tried shit out, it's now essentially broken down into loot/hour. I don't necessarily agree with it, something like mindless cota runs will never be exciting to me, but whatever.
You, however, want to skip all the intermediary steps. You have no interest in playing the game. No interesting upgrading from 3 primary rares to 4 primary to 5 "primary" to legendaries and beyond. No interest in that exhilaration when Thunderfury drops, you know it because sword icon is so unique you can see it on the battlefield. If you wanted any of that, you'd understand that Blizzard essentially made this expansion for people like that. Bounties and rifts and bloodshards and 4/2 stat systems make it easy to acquire incremental and seamless upgrades. There is no "my gear sucks, I can't hack it at 70". There is a gear level and difficulty for *everyone*.
So when you come in here wanting to know farming routes but couch it in the poor excuse that your gear sucks, it just lays bare the flimsy facade. Essentially, you're a botter. But even worse, you're a failed botter. Because if you were good at botting, you wouldn't be in here threadshitting.
Any monks interested in quick runs through T1 rifts latenight, around 10PM+ EST? Clan currently has 0 monks and conviction (annihilation) would be fucking amazing to do it faster. Gear doesn't matter, you can be in all yellows for all I care, add me accordion#1700.

You have to remember Tec was exactly this way in D3 vanilla and always defended his botting as well
That's pretty much my play time and I asked for an invite yesterday. I usually run conviction and I can also buff group damage with the new passiveUnityand after finally getting a socket in my Gift of Silaria, my paper doll damage rating is around 430k.

Apparently bnet isn't updating my enchanting. My sheet damage is ~900k unbuffed and toughness is ~7m with this build. Running my SB/Bears set, it's just over 1m sheet damage.
The current set listed has 15% frog damage on the legs, 15% fire damage on the bracers. and the accessories have damage stats that aren't showing up (enchanted).
I don't think ive ever tried to hide the fact that, id rather bot then play the way the game USED to be trying to find upgrades, but regardless deathwing just like act 3 was the preferred choice for farming before because of density, I don't see the harm in trying to find the most efficient route of farming weather is farming chests in the core or running bounties, If im gonna play why not make my time worthwhile back in vanilla you were an idiot to bother farming act 1 if you could do act 3.

Best way to level from 60 to 70? Just adventure mode it in act 5?
Another question, how does the console version of D3 control? Do they assist you or change the game at all since you lose the precision of the mouse for the controller? Trying to figure out if I want to jump on PC version or wait the undisclosed time for the PS4 version.

Thanks man, really cool build. I'm running a fire build also, little different cuz I don't have a Quetz. Have you tried using Garg with Wrathful Protector rune? Dude hits like a truck

Thanks! Yea he's good. I would put on the mask of Jeram if I did tho. Also, Fetishes crit for around 3m each, 6 with Jeram. I just don't have room for it with this build. I am slowly working on a pet set, but I still need a set of Taskers before I try it. Also, I have gambled about 2k shards on Chests - determined to get a Cindercoat. I've gotten 3 so far (dropped, not gambled), but all were so bad I couldn't even reroll them to be good.
Edit - just threw the garg in to test with this build - with jeram he hits for 16m. If he didn't have the knockback I would probably swap him for chargers.

Oh btw WD questions since I'm a bit unclear on mechanics on some stuff. First Wrathful protector, does it proc if you resummon the garg? I haven't bothered trying this one but I see a lot of people with it in their build and unless it reset when you resummon, it seems all kinds of awful due to procing off 5mobs which is basically, every pack everywhere in adventure mode/rifts. I assume it does but if it doesn't, do people just run around with it unsummoned and summon it then somehow unsummon it(don't know if you can dismiss it like a follower) until next pack? Is the cooldown affected by Grave Injustice?
Other question is Haunt. What the fuck? Like pretty much, I used it for quite a while and I still have no fucking idea how it works. Does it only target one mob? Does it pick a target automatically or do you have to target it(seems auto but does it always hit if you select one specifically?) When a mob dies it haunts another mob apparently, is the duration reset or does it just haunt for the remaining duration? It took me a bit to figure out how Locus Swarm works, mostly the fact it has god awful range is what got me confused(I'd try to locust from afar then it would do nothing) but I have no fucking idea how Haunt works, other than it works fine if I cast it on a single target like a boss.

I'm being stubborn about crusader and still trying to crowbar it in to working, but holy shit is it not good. It's all the resource generation problems of barbarian, but with the added bonus of not having any good spenders to burn it with once you do finally build it up. Hammers are neat and do okay at clearing trash, but might as well not exist vs elites (or even a lot of the ranged types of normal mobs). Shield bash misses more than it hits and can't AE worth a damn. Sweep attack is awful and just worse than hammers in every way. Fist of the heavens just doesn't do enough damage period given the amount of wrath it costs. Shield throw has some potential I think, especially once you land one or two the legendary mods for it, but since I don't have either I'm still just spamming hammers and taking 5 minutes to kill elites.
About the only thing crusaders have going for them is that once you get a high enough dps weapon and like ~400% crit damage you can oneshot most elite packs with judgement/resolved + law of zeal/critical and dumping bombardment and condemn on them. That's a 60s cd though, so while amusing is not even that great.
Very first change they need is to remove heavenly strength as a passive and just make it a class feature. Let the passive remove the movespeed penalty or something.
