Annoying to get to the end of the Grift (RG up), leave and do bounties then have to run your ass all the way back to where the RG is.

It's usually more efficient to run back to the waypoint from the bounty and leave the TP up from the RG in the first place.

I finished my Firebird set tonight. Ended up with full set bonuses of Tal Rasha and Firebird.

I have found 0 Unity rings since I started playing...really that's all I need other than a Furnace...and some mats to reroll CD up a bit since there's about 30% left short on meh rolls.

Damned Unity rings.

just decided to start playing this again after stopping mid way through the original campaign. I killed malthael on my WD last night on hard at level 42(ish), what now? should i continue to play through ACT V with a higher difficulty? or should i jump immediately to ACT I adventure mode?

whats more efficient for leveling, just pumping the difficulty as high as possible even if its slower? replay campaign or adventure mode?

You don't even have to run back to the waypoint, teleport back to town using the map, don't use town portal.

Still zero here. Really annoying because my BoP is very good and getting a Ramaladni would let me put 10% CDR back on it and I would hit the 55.55% mark.

I got Akkhan BP (shitty one but whatever) and equipped my Leoric's Crown, and both Vigilante and Krelm belts dropped yesterday, so I'm at a loss now as to what I can still upgrade. It's all down to finding a perfect amulet (something that I've never seen in the hundreds of hours I put into my DH) and a SoJ. And I'm still not convinced that even a perfectly rolled holy/elite/socket/whatever SoJ could replace Unity. Everything just hits so damn hard at rank 28+. It's kind of funny going back to T6 to farm more trial keys, it's a fucking joke after you've gotten used to stuff above rank 25.

I definitely need more dps though. Yellows have close to 2 billion hp now, more if they have extra health affix. The rank 28 boss I fought had 6.2 billion. Most of them have abilities I don't remember seeing before too, like disappearing for a few seconds while spawning adds, and that drags the fights out even longer. I know I need more CC and CHD like you said, I just don't know how I'm going to get it without sacrificing CDR or having 400+ paragon.

Adventure mode for sure. Don't raise the difficulty higher than the point where you can still kill an elite/champ pack in a few seconds at most. Unless someone gives you a RoS weapon with -28 or so level req, the correct difficulty is probably expert.

Yeah, well, I found a Ramalamadingdong but still no weapon worth using it on!

Also, I just found a legendary wizard hat for the first time in a week. I'm p260 on my season wizard, having played only that character, and have 250ish forgotten souls. In other words, I've played a fucking lot. And I found my first legendary wizard hat today. I was genuinely astonished, I had forgotten there was such a thing as wizard hats. Not that there are any good ones, but still.

Vorph, looks like your Crusader is shaping up nicely over the last few days. At this point, running Shield Glare: Z and Provoke and the 6-piece Akkhans bonus always up, you should try dropping your resource generator for more damage or utility; this means putting Shield Glare in your primary atk slot as it's the only skill you can place there of the ones you currently run. Iron Skin: Steel Skin would have ridiculous uptime with 55%+ CDR. Put the vigilante belt in for even more.

You may find yourself getting less out of Indestructible if you run Steel Skin and Wrathful (you already have some +orb bonus so the healing should be a nice compliment).

So rumor has it that there is a exploit with greater rift XP and you can get about 50x normal XP gains. This would explain why we are seeing so many high ass paragon on seasons. If I can find a group of decent geared folks who can do 25+ greater rifts I might try it out tonight.

Finished up set full set bonus for Vyr's...not that I was trying to, but it was there. Only two pieces away from complete sets across all three sets. Got one of those Serpent wands or whatever, too.

Full set bonuses for Firebird and Tal Rasha is just pure goodness. Elites pop as easily as zits. Then again, I'm only solo farming T4, so there's that. I'm not wanting to climb the ladder, so I only really want two Unity rings so I can get into the 30+ Grift range for easy gem upgrades and painless T5/6 solo xp farming.

I like my Crusader, and she's not too far off from being well-geared, but I'm used to the 2-2.4MM DPS that my Wizzie puts out. My Crusader is 1MM tops...so...so...so painfully slow when AC is down. Might play this toon for a few weeks just to fix all the warts and hope for a good weapon and shield, then switch to my L53 DH.

I still have no idea why I have yet to see a SINGLE Unity. FFS.

I have noticed some of those as well and they are stupid as fuck. The greater rifts while interesting on one hand you can try and measure your e-peen with them and on the other hand there sure is a fair bit of RNG to them as well. The long ass hallways as you mentioned are one since if you die you are running back for minutes vs. a rift where you dive deeper and deeper into the short levels where you can respawn close by. Another issue with mob density, while I couldn't care less about it during Rifts in Greater Rifts it can be frustrating when you run into long stretches of little to no mobs since you are so pressed for time. Then the last bit of RNG and the part I mind the least is you can get fucked on the type of mob spawns. You can get those gay ass Arch-angel faggots charging your face from off the screen or you can get easy as fuck zombies. It's still fun to try and clear higher and higher rifts but it can be frustrating when you know the only reason you didn't beat the timer is due to one or more of these reasons.

As for those asking about gearing up for Wizard's finishing the Firebird's set always going to be the first priority then it will be gearing out the other slots with specific items that will help push dps and fire damage higher. Then you just hope you get lucky with those end game pieces. I have yet to find a Furnace, Serpents Sparkler, Witching Hour, Unity, Cannot die followers token. Even so I am still holding my own so while I really am hoping to find those pieces that will allow me to compete in the top ranks of the season I am also not planning on killing myself farming 1% drop rate items or bitching about them. With as easy as they made everything else in this game there should be at least a couple of carrots entice you.

Yea, holy shit, agree with this 239283098234%. Was on a level 24 grift with a friend; characters are not amazingly geared but nothing we really couldn't handle, and then the fucking mobs ugh. Like the worst mobs of ROS and we just got face raped. We were ahead of the timer, but obviously you need to kill the last guy too, so that blew.
