WTT my 2nd and 3rd Shenlong's Relentless Assault, a Logan's Claw, a Fleshrake, a Fist of Azturrasq, and a Rabid Strike for a WKL 😛

Though my lightning damage Lidless Wall is performing admirably admittedly, I look kind of silly since I have no good shield transmogs 🙁

Shard of Hate + Thunderfury is such and OP combo now. =( Lightning Monk is best monk.

 

[darkewaffle]

I did find a pretty good Shard which prompted my swap to lightning from physical, but haven't seen a Tgods yet. Though my friends have found like half a dozen collectively lol. They're all barbs/wizards/crusaders though so it's tough for anything they find to be salvageable for me though.

If you're leveling in story mode can you switch to adventure mode and then return back to story mode without restarting from act I? No way my Monk is going to be 70 before I hit Mal, so I want to level in adventure mode for awhile before I finish so I can get that guaranteed legendary at 70.

 

[TheFamilyMan]

Well, good going blizzard...TF was included the good ol' legendary nerf of 2014. Mirrorball, Moonlight Ward, TF, and about 3 or 4 others had their procs and/or add'l effects 'reworked'.

I knew that certain 'punch' just wasn't there last night. I think they may have fooled with Fulminator as well. May just all be in my head and I'm looking too hard...finding things where they really aren't.

Anyone else with a TF and/or Fulminator just not seeing the same procs as before patch?

Yep, I've done this with all of my characters after my first one (which had to be done the old-fashioned way). Works well to get that guaranteed level 70 drop off Malthael. Only wish I hadn't restarted quests on my Barb right before RoS as now I have to play through the whole game again, I really hate Act 2.

 

[darkewaffle]

I'd love to see them tuned down, on-hits accounting for so much damage is pretty silly and really makes weapon choice a much less interesting proposition imo.

And yes, you can switch from campaign to adventure without any impact on your progress. I finished levelling to 70 on bounties on both my DH and Wizard after reaching the final A5 checkpoint prior to Maltheal.

Some of them were just broken though, and it was easily visible. Shard of Hate was damn near 100% proc rate.

I don't particularly have a problem with that being the top end, but it will just make people cry because they can't find one or their character can't use it effectively.

TF = Thunderfury? I have one. I just cleared a T1 rift and didn't notice any differences; nothing obvious anyway.

Hah, I feel your pain. I had no fewer than three of my level 60s stuck in act 2 due to resetting quests only to get bored in that act.

I just ask for the 'Kill Malthael' quest in the AT guild and get my legendary after leveling up in Adventure Mode.

 

[American Gunner]

I am very late to the party, but I decided to give this game a shot last night on my pc. It was able to run it on the highest settings, and I was suprised at how much I loved the kb/m set up on this game. Looks like I found another game for my pc.

 

[Adrenaline]

SoH is not broken in general, it is messed up with WW due to how Blizzard tooled the skill.

I have a SoH on my Barb, it rolled Dexterity and no socket. I got double screwed on it. I have found a bunch of legendary 1H swords and have yet to see a TF at 70.

The RNG in the game is still horrid. I have found one high end set item on my Barb and that was for a DH, Marauder's boots. If set items don't start dropping more frequently for my Barb, I may just stop playing. BoA and awful drop rates do not go together. It gets old spending time on this game and getting no reward. I have gone over 30 hours now without finding an upgrade and my gear is not anywhere close to top end.

RNG must hate you for some reason. That's downright dirty to get a shard without your main stat or a socket. Your experience though is about the exact opposite of what mine has been since RoS playing as a Wizard. I don't find many upgrades now, but that's just because my gear has already been upgraded a few times over.

A popular streamer got a Shard of Hate with int and no socket on a monk the other day and he was quite upset about it, especially considering he doesn't even have an int using character.

 

[darkewaffle]

It happens. I've found a few legendaries with the 'wrong' stat or for other classes (hand crossbow on my monk) but that's just the way it is - most of the gear is tailored to you, but not 100%.

I found crusader set piece on my DH. >_<

I've had a terrible time trying to upgrade my Wizard. I got a few semi-decent items after I hit 70, but since then it's all Magefist and two-handed axes (I'm looking at you, The Executioner). I'd say 75% of my leg drops have been two-handed weapons with half of those being the damn Executioner.

 

[Phanuel]

Yeah, pretty burnt out myself not finding usable legendaries at all. Wearing maybe 2 legendaries right now, belt and a garbage wand, and nothing useful ever drops if it does drop in the first place.

If you're a 70 just farming for better gear, any real reason to run above T1?


Also has anyone gotten anything worthwhile out of the gambler? I blew through the entire budget 3 times over the weekend just going through chest pieces, only got rares and a couple blues. Kept 1 for an alt and had one of minor upgrade, but overall just converted shards into gold.

No real reason. I heard on the forums that T3 with mf on was quite lucrative, and gave it a shot with my buddies last night. We did about 6 runs, and all I got were like 2 legs (maybe), and a couple of souls. Garbage. could've done double the amount of rifts in T1 in the same amount of time. Killing Elites need to be more rewarding. Maybe eliminate the timer, and set it the drop rate to amount of Elites killed and at what difficulty.

The only reason to run Torment anything is for set items and Blizzard is receiving a lot of complaints about the extremely low drop rate of set items. Everything is BoA (no trading except except to the people you are in game with and no AH.) people can't get anything they want. This is becoming worse than the original loot system.

Run the highest level you can with one shotting everything and run bounties for caches nonstop.

 

[darkewaffle]

Gambler is nice for finding rares with the right rolls since that's the majority of what you get (and most slots are pretty cheap so you get a lot of chances), rings are a good choice imo. When I swapped to lightning damage on my monk I needed new bracers (looking for lightning damage/dex/vit/cc/poison resist) and ended up getting a nice pair of Warzechian Armguards from Kadala after a few hundred bloodshards.

 

[trmiv]

I logged on last night and got two legendaries (well forgotten souls, because they sucked) in Normal in like 5 minutes. Then I ran T1 and T2 rifts with AT peeps for a few hours and didn't get a single legendary item. If drop rates are going to be like that, I'd rather just run normal and melt stuff while watching TV>

I think my one drop on T3 was a set pair of pants. Guess what it came from????

The only reason I can see to run higher than T1 atm is if you have the DPS to do it quickly AND are farming the mats. Basically, T1 is the best IMO. It gives the chance to drop set pieces and you kill much faster than in the higher Torment levels. Sure, T6 might have 3x the drop rate, but you're killing things 5x as fast in T1.
