Heh, little scary that the drop rate was apparently such shit they could permanently buff it by 100% with no qualms.

Upside/Downside - Two legos on my rift run last night, both sucked, but that's twice as many as I normally get!

Probably already posted, but in case it hasn't.



The Anniversary Buff Now Permanent! - News - Diablo Fans
Thats pretty cool, I thought it was silly they had to entice players to play by giving them something that most people would say it should have been all along. I wanted to check out the buff, but still burned out, now I'll probably come back for ladders though; whereas before I was thinking even then it wouldn't be likely.

you sure? ive heard from Jboe or whatever say that if the tooltip says fire, they are doing fire dmg even the melee and fire% is counted towards it, basically if the tooltip says fire, it benefits from fire not just the two torch guys, could be wrong but those streamers usually know their shit, and hed probably be getting flamed pretty hard for using it that way if he was wrong.
You are probably right then. I don't test/theorycraft enough to know the ins and outs so yea, I'll take his word for it.

Doubling the legendary droprate is a slippery slope. Either you give people thought out ways to reach what the game offers, or you are stuck buffing nebulous droprate in response to people complaining they are still not getting the drop they need.

Nah, honestly all the leg buff does is eat up another stash slot for your second stack of souls. They knew this coming in.

Worst thing about it is that they now have a strawman response to the 2h drop complaints.. Be ready for blue posts referencing the leg buff whenever someone complains about 2h drops eroding the reward loop.

So after trying like hell for weeks to get it for my Wizard, I finally got a Ring of Royal Grandeur...on my level 59 Crusader.

See it's shit like this that I think will cause people to quit the most. I don't mind not finding rare as shit items like the Wand of Woh, but the cache legendaries and their bullshit drop rate does cause some issues. I know RNG is RNG but some people getting a ring in 5-10 caches while others have to go through hundreds is a big flaw, world drop items it works well enough with but the targeted cache shit needs some adjusting.

On the topic of Wand of Woh... good thing that shit is so rare. My bro rolled a perfect one and he just oblitirate everything spamming explosions non stop. Didnt think there was an item that was THAT game changer.

It's a game changer for sure. Until you realize that getting so close to higher torment mobs means they will beat your ass. haha. It's been talked about recently in the last few pages on this thread, but wizards are very squishy. Although up to T3-T4, it's very beat ass, and you rock.

I've picked up a great Moonlight Ward, and some other arcane gear, and going to give that a shot instead, as sometimes you just don't want to spam explosions. Get's boring.

Wand of Woh is really fun on lower torment difficulties. Just teleport around and blow shit up.

On higher torments though, you really have to roll near perfect CDR stats on your gear, and in some cases forgo offensive and defensive stats to make it work.

Explosive blast requires melee range and in T5-6, it can get messy real quick if the gear is not right.

Crone. have you tried Wow/Archon? It's the FOTM for wiz builds at the moment. You use Woh with 3 pieces of Vyr and RoRG for the 4set bonus. Stack some reduce cooldown to about 45%+ and go to town with EB as your out of Archon spell and pop Archon when it is up.

Include 3 pieces Tal Rasha for optimal build.

I wish there was a way to hotkey gear swaps so I didn't have to open my inventory and click gear.

Changing sunkeeper for elites and nemesis bracers for shrines and trangouls for health well gets old

ya... strange that they had weapon swaps in d2 and yet devs in d3 are so adamantly against them now. Mustve been a rough time in the forums during the old MF-macro switching fiasco.

That seems weird. Would you stack fire for EB, or arcane for Archon damage? I'm all fire right now, for my EB/MM/Conflag build, but would be swapping out for Arcane damage instead. I'm at 48% CDR right now, without a diamond in my helm. Once I get a Andy's helm with a socket I'll be over 50% CDR.

Edit: Oh wait, you could go to the new Fire Archon Rune, right? and just stick with all fire.

archon with 4 piece vyrs changes the damage to whatever is your highest stacked +elemental dmg, so fire would make archon do fire dmg, or arcane if you wanted to go with an arcane EB/archon build or hell even lightning(but without EB cuz i dont have a WoW) which im doing right now because mm/conflag is so god damn boring out of archon form
