But you can reforge the item once you get the set piece you need. I can't imagine it will be cheap but it is possible.

That wasn't the question I was answering.

But you are correct. You can then use the re-roll recipe.

Countess Julia's (for arcane immunity)

Those immunity legendaries didn't even cross my mind, and I think I've got a poorly-rolled Julia's sitting in my bank! D:

No, it adds additional stat line to your weapon, a socket. So if that weapon naturally rolled a socket, you can roll that socket into something else, and then apply the Ramaladni Gift to add a socket.

That's awesome. Thanks!

Yes, furnace will give you 50% elite damage regardless of the weapon you're currently using.

Dayum!!! In a dilemma now Do I cube smk into scrim or furnace? That elite damage though.

Well it's easy, cube them both, and test which one is better 😀

Wait, your sentence is confusing. You know that you don't cube a weapon into any other weapon, right? You cube (destroy) a weapon and put it inside the cube, and then you can equip whatever you want and activate the effect of whichever item already in the cube.

Oh, you can activate de-activate whenever from an extracted ability? So, it's not a one time change deal?

 

[DaTT]

Correct. Assume the cubed items are passive abilities. Once an item is cubed, you choose it from the list to be active at all times.

You can cube several items and switch between them at will.

You can have 1 weapon ability, one armour ability, and one jewelry ability "equipped" at a time.

I'm having difficulty logging in. I haven't logged in in a few months (iirc), but other than that nothing has changed. Same phone, same authenticator app installation, etc., but I keep getting the error that the auth key is invalid.

There's a 'resync' option on the authenticator app, if you haven't tried it.

Also, make sure that the time on your phone is synced to some kind of time server, either manually with some kind of NTP app or automatically to your carrier's time server.

 

[pandemonium]

This patch has made me fall in love with the game again. It's simply too much awesome.

 

[Schfifty Five]

What are original infernal machines good for?

I have like 15 of them. Do they just randomly open one of the portals?

 

[pandemonium]

I'm not sure, but I think they may open the original fights. Give it a try, see what happens. Otherwise they're probably just trash at this point. :/

 

[Nograts]

Seasons always gets me to come back for 2-3 weeks before I get bored again, maybe this new patch will hold my interest for 4-5.

I'm really debating what class to roll this season. I've had fun times with most classes, usually the FoTM builds. Firebirds, WW Barb...had a soul harvest WD, and an exploding palm monk.

What build are you guys recommending for this season? I'd like to try crusader but IIRC I always get frustrated playing with my friend (who rolls monk) because I feel sooo slooww.... Hrm. I did have a blast playing WW Barb last season...did they add anything that'll make this build more powerful?

What's the word on the street, which class/builds are going to wreck shop this time through? What are you going to play?

Also screw that 8PM release date for us East coasters. I guess it'll give me a chance to do some homework before though.

 

[Adrenaline]

GR density is still awful. They can't get this right at all.

They nerfed the Bandit Shrine spawn rate.

 

[Qbah]

I cubed my regular Flense (never got an ancient version to drop), switched to my existing ancient Schaefer's and my lightning sweep Crusader got an instant 40% damage boost :awe: I'm trying to think what armor upgrade to use... right now I've enabled Leoric's double gem boost and also cubed a Countess necklace for arcane invulnerability 😀

So many options! 😀

EDIT: Also got two shrines with goblins in one run... I was laughing hard!

 

[Nograts]

Nobody has a class picked for the start of seasons? I'm so torn!

Also someone ELI5 this new cube thing, I'm too lazy to look it up. I can transfer inherent properties between gear?

 

[sweenish]

Just look it up.

It's already easily enough explained. Or, just log into the game and mess around with it yourself. Just about anything would be better than asking for this information while claiming laziness, again, when it's so freely available. We're not your servants.

As for S4, I'm still debating between a WD and a monk. I want that monk weapon (for utility), but I also really want that mojo (for transmog).

 

[cronos]

I've explained this cube thing at least three times in this thread alone. Scroll up and read (and click on the previous page after you get to the top, repeat until you find what you're looking for).

 

[Nograts]

I'm fused on the 'collecting legendary powers', so basically if I destroy 3 legendary weapons I can then add up to 3 legendary affixes to a single weapon? Or something like that?

That doesn't seem OP? Clearly someone has fleshed out the best legendaries to add affixes to if that is correct? I can't access most game sites ATM as I'm at work, and can't look at my characters (it's been awhile since I last played).

 

[lupi]

Is it me or have they really not yet posted 2.3 patch notes on the official site yet?


Doing a DH this season. if I see a group going this weekend may jump in to help level, otherwise i'll just wait for the carry channel to get populated. 😉

 

[Aikouka]

No. You destroy a legendary to take its power (the orange text on the weapon) using one of the Kanai Cube's recipes (it requires a legendary with a power + act-specific rewards from adventure mode cache from all five acts + 5 Death's Breath). When you do this, it goes into a menu (accessible from the Kanai Cube), which also shows all possible effects that you can create from the recipe (they'll be grayed out). From that menu, you can select which unlocked effect you want to "equip" on your character.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Does torment difficulty affect Greater Rifts?

When I go to the rift stone to activate a GR, it lets me select the highest GR level I've done. One some of the numbers though, it will say torment X or torment VI, etc.

Does it matter what torment difficulty I have on?

No it doesn't. GR difficulty is completely separate than the Torment level of the game you're in. The Torment level on the GR selection is simply to show you the equivalent Torment difficulty of that GR level.

 

[Nograts]

No. You destroy a legendary to take its power (the orange text on the weapon) using one of the Kanai Cube's recipes (it requires a legendary with a power + act-specific rewards from adventure mode cache from all five acts + 5 Death's Breath). When you do this, it goes into a menu (accessible from the Kanai Cube), which also shows all possible effects that you can create from the recipe (they'll be grayed out). From that menu, you can select which unlocked effect you want to "equip" on your character.

So, just for kicks, let's say I disenchant a furnace and get +50% damage to elite.

I apply that to my character or I can apply that to another 2 handed weapon?

I think I had seen that the limit is 3? Are there any affixes that aren't allowed even if they are orange text? Sorry for so many questions, another 5 hours at work and have limited access to diablo 3 info.

 

[sweenish]

Just wait to actually do it.

It's not complicated.

The only recommendation is to play bounties in bonus order. As in, complete bonus act first, turn in, do new bonus act, etc. You won't get to try a lot of stuff until you have completed bounties across all acts, might as well do it in bonus order.

 

[Aikouka]

I apply that to my character or I can apply that to another 2 handed weapon?

You apply them to your character. In the Kanai Cube, there are three boxes at the bottom that are associated with Weapon, Armor, and Jewelry. When you click on one of those boxes, it opens up the menu that I was talking about earlier. The menu is really just a grid of all the different effects that are available, and when you breakdown an applicable legendary, it will no longer be grayed out in the menu. At that point, you can apply it to your character.

When they say you're limited to three effects, that's really just 1 weapon, 1 armor and 1 jewelry effect. So, you would not be able to have Furnace + Thunderfury's effect equipped at the same time as they're both weapons, but you could have Furnace + Countess Julia's Cameo "equipped" at the same time, because they are a weapon and jewelry (respectively).
