True that, farm on T1 at least for set parts.

Normal will be handy for farming legs for mats, though. I'm going to run around blasting the shit out of everything with Ray of Frost/Sleet Storm to build up a nice cache of mats for enchanting.

I wonder if the changes are also going to lower the rate of chest spawns inside rifts?

I think overall it's a good change, but I hate that they are nerfing unique monstersagain. That was one of the big changes with 2.0 that I actually enjoyed, uniques being worth killing again. Apparently they want them to be useless still, unfortunately.

I assume they'll hotfix the DH pet stuff though, since Sharpshooter stacks don't disapear when you don't directly attack, meaning you can have 100%crit chance at all times in a pet build using sentries+marauder set(all companions)+wolf shirt(3wolves). You kinda just run around doing nothing though, just marked for death and drop sentries every 6secs, so build is pretty boring but the efficiency seems incredibly high since well, it is 100%crit all the time after all and you can stack physical % on everything. Can probably run with the unique sword that gives +physical too since I don't think sentries require you to have a ranged weapon.

fucking retarded being dropped and I can't even petition for a reimbursement. Had just opened a rift and managed to lose over an entire level of bonus xp from the first DC.

Fire is tops for theoretical dps but I can't endorse a fire build long term because it lacks control. Lightning gets a cheap CS and cheap cone stun. Holy gets an expensive stun, but it's practically guaranteed and it's long and hits everything. I see being able to stun enemies crucial to playing a melee in higher torment. Only real thing I don't like about lightning is the knock up on deadly reach. It's nice because it means mobs aren't beating on you. But I can't tell you how many times I still derp my CS while mobs are in the air. So annoying.



I like the hotfix. My only quibble is that this will make farming for legendary tradeskill drops less attractive in comparison. You know, the ones they just reduced the components of.

I'm loving fire so much and the SoH is the icing on the cake. Right now Torment 1 is trivial for me when earlier this week I was struggling through it. I've found t2 rifts with little to none issues. My fire sweeping wind practically incinerates white mobs if they stay in it for a few seconds. I haven't tried soloing T3 or higher so stuns would be useful in a lightning build. If fire dps is high enough stuns may not be required. Also is there a 1 hander weapon that has done form of fire effect or proc? Basically a fire type Thunderfury?

There's a crafted 1H mace that can roll 20%fire. Devastator or something. No fire procs I think on 1H, there's 2H with procs but they're like lvl 60 unscaled procs, shit's terrible. A lot of the procs aren't affected by +elemental % dmg anyway, so you might as well use like a thunderfury regardless.

You're a fire monk, how does SoH benefit you? Fire sweeping winds, if you play with CS, is kinda useless. I mean, it does turn the element, but it doesn't add more damage. I guarantee SW-Cyclone is easily 2x the damage.

Yeah my bad I'm thinking of Akkan 4pc bonus, which reduces costs by 50% for the duration, it's not a rune. I know about the law since I was using that(and long arm of the law) when I was playing FoH. Switched back to nephalem law though, especially since they made it easier to sustain neph3 buff since now health globes increase the duration even at 3(before they'd increase the duration at 1 and 2 and eventually bump it to next tier, but once at 3 it wouldn't increase duration anymore so you needed to find another nephalem orb to refresh it, now you can extend it plenty with just health globes). Still Akarat helps wrath quite a lot I guess with doubling all generation but yeah no reduction on it.

I still feel it's pretty lacking compared to Wrath of the Berserker, Voodoo Totem, Vengeance or Epiphany though, it just doesn't do a whole lot when it's active to warrant a 90secs cd. Especially when you compare to Epiphany which is 60secs cooldown and is way way fucking better. I feel it's only worth it with the crusader set bonuses or if you can get around 50% uptime.

I fully agree compared to other classes its pretty damn awful lol

We won't complain about it and whine about our lost experience. Instead, we'll make another character, grind out 70, and get back to putting our balls on the line.

You pussy faggot.

Crone that's what I'm using and I don't have much problems with T1, even though I do die if I get stuck in a bunch of shit with spirit walk down every now and then, but damage is good and single target damage is higher than my crusader too.

First link is my profile but it didn't update build, you can check the terrible gear though.

I didn't even bother rerolling my shit to the new skills and what not. Basically just run around, haunt+piranas shit and they pretty much stop moving, locust on harder mobs/elites, spirit barrage as a filler. You run out of mana at some point kinda but it almost self sustain so it's not too bad and I find it easier to use than vampire bats and there's cold synergy(granted I have shit for cold gear).

Using this cold build, and just burned through a T1 Rift pretty damn easy. Good times. It's not a pet build, but the dogs do well as a blockers/tanks, and it's more so on the DoT side, but it's active enough, with Spirit Barrage, where you don't feel like you are just sitting around.

The legendary buff drops are from what percentage? 200% of .001 or its not known? Rift torment looks good now but I would like to know if it's worth while to stay in T1 do it faster or try at least T2/T3 at slower pace yielding more drops.

Yea its live. Haven't ran enough rifts to draw any conclusions but 3 leg's in 2 rifts so far, no pity timer. Hell even one was an Ess of Johan, both guardians gave Souls on T2. Probably lucky but "feels" noticeable atm
