I think i have entirely too much hp...vaellen - Community - Diablo III

First level 70 in diablo so i have a few questions...

-Since i dont have the dps to survive T1 should i just farm master nephalim rifts at this point?

- do i want to keep leoric's crown until i can find something drastically better due to the 19% CD reduction im getting from it for AC? same for Hellskull, even though level 70 shields have slightly more stats the 10% more damage seems too good until i get a 70 legendary shield.

- Is it worth it to start reforging the rare gear, or just wait for legendary's?

- i am running out of wrath constantly spamming burning hammers (probably due to too much vit not enough str) with only shield glare and AC to to replenish it, should i be looking at a different builder ability to keep the wrath from dropping? or swap to tower shield passive to lower the CD on glare?

Having gone through the same issues as you when I got to 70 on my seasonal sader. This is the build I used when I hit 70. It does a decent amount of DPS, some survivability along with good wrath usage.

Crusader - Game Guide - Diablo III

Your wrath generators are slash, provoke, and shield glare. Laws of valor with unstoppable rune allows you to cast spells at 50% of their mana costs. Long of the arm passive allows Law of valor for 10 seconds which gives you more dps. Once you get better wrath and more dps you can sub righteousness for another. Heavenly strength can be subbed with Fevor depending on if your weapon is either a 2 hander or 1 hander. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

thanks for the input guys,

definitely going to look for a different weapon first thing after realizing the 6% dmg is factored into the dps calculation.

Nola, what do you think about swapping out fist for FoH for your spender, seems like the build is generating a lot of wrath with the passives/shield glare/provoke.

Should i just continue to farm bounties or is doing nephalim rifts on master the optimal way to go currently until i can handle T1?

Rifts give you the higher chance for legendary drops, but Act 1 Bounties, will give you that chance for RoRG! tough choice, but I would keep going Rifts. Spend blood shards on armor.

A1 bounties until you get a decent rorg and boon of the hoarder(fuck you Falling Sword!).

Trust the engineer. He's number crunched it and determined the most efficient path.

Survived a game crash while playing HC today. .

Yeah, Boon of the Hoarder is a must, but the RNG hates me and no RoRG or Hoarder over 75 paragon levels Thank god for the season wand on wizard, makes bounties super fast.

Currently running T2 solo. Getting Set/lego gloves and helmet that beat the rares is so hard, since I don't have the souls to reroll them until I get the right stats with right values. I think I'll have to switch builds soon, I stop at Grift lvl 16-18 .I have Cindercoat in my stash, along with Kom's bracers with 20% fire damage, but it's hard to give up the Reaper's wraps and crafting new ones is a headache. I also have decent Thunderfury, but the mobility of the wand is too good.

I haven't even tried to reroll any stats on lego rings, simply no cash.

The majority of the first ppl on the leaderboards, sure, but some people legit get 6pc before 100 paragon, I've seen it happen.

I'm one piece from the 6 piece bonus at 95 para (HC/Season). Gambling for pants and fingers crossed each time.

if i killed malth at level 55ish on my crusader will i need to redo the campaign if i want the reapers wrap plans? or are these possibly in an actV cache?

If you're talking about replacing Fist of the Heaven for Heaven's Fury I would say no for now and here is the reason why. Fists has no cooldown while Fury has a 20 sec cooldown. With your current gear your CDR is very low if any. You can pretty much spam Fists as long you have the mana to support it while with Fury you have to wait 20 secs to recast it. Use Slash and spend it on Fists to destroy mobs. Rotate out shield glare and provoke to regain wrath while using AC for the hard packs to kill and boss mobs. Pop valor o large packs, elites, champions and boss mobs to burn them down fast as possible. If your mana is getting low use shield glare or provoke. Now once you get better gear and higher CDR then you can switch to Fury cause it will practically be at a zero cooldown. You gotta realize many of the sader builds benefits from having a high CDR ie shotgun, condemn, stampede and firelight.

Once you can do T1 or maybe even expert/master get a rift trial key and use it. You'll be in the trial rift but don't kill any mobs. Run to the top and let the timer run out. That will cause you to fail and get a level 1 greater rift stone key. Use it and clear all the mobs until you get to 99%. The mobs will be at normal difficulty so you should be able to run through it. Once you get to 99% or closer go afk until the timer gets down to 4:30 mark. Kill some more mobs until you summon the rift guardian, kill it and collect the loot. MAKE SURE you kill the boss after the 4:30 mark. That assures a rift key at the next level. (ie 2,3,4,5 ect...) If you accidentally summon the rift guardian run back to the entrance of the rift and zone out. Don't port cause you'll have to run all the way back from the 1st rift. When Ursi appears don't choose the gem upgrade but choose the upgrade the key. It will make it a level 2 key. Rinse and repeat. You'll get all the gems this way and also some lego drops. Real easy way to gear up a fresh 70.

makes sense, yea i am only sitting on about 18% CDR (from leoric's with gem) didn't think about the cooldown on HF.

Thanks for all the support guys, really helpful stuff.

Yeah man it's way too low. On my seasonal sader I have 43% CDR and HF takes about 12 secs to come off cooldown which is still a long time w/o using a spender.

I got hacked and 12 hours my account was unsecured, I somehow left the clan... Resent an invite request...
