    Not if you like to let your dots kill the pack while you hurry on. Though, I guess if you're clearing the whole rift, probably won't matter.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If my numbers are right, Tenks might be right about that ring. I can't figure out how to model an ICD from a frameless standpoint(i.e. just looking at one attack at a time), so I'm just going to use averages. If (1 - CC%)^5 gives the chance of you proccing the buff, then (5 attacks) / (1 -...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'll admit I haven't tried most of those changes, but they might work. Dropping steed charge is painful, skipping trash and speeding up runs just seems too beneficial. The only thing that seems like it wouldn't work is dropping reaper wraps. I don't know how you don't have wrath problems...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Let's say your CC% is kinda low, 30%. The chance for you to not crit 5 times in a row is (1 - .3) ^ 5, which is 16.8%. I'm not sure where to take that number next. Attack speed is factored in there and obviously it can't proc itself while active and I don't know how to model that. (100% -...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I don't understand the wrath problems(except on RGs). The changes I suggested are basically the build I run. Do you kill trash? I'm guessing elite packs drop more globes and I steed charge in between packs as much as possible.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Do you die when Akarat's is down? You're noticeably short of 56% CDR. You're also not running the prophet rune. 150% armor is a ton of mitigation. Another problem might be that your sustain is delayed. Dismount into an elite pack, hit condemn and start slashing a couple mobs. All you're...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    New WW set is kinda doa. There's too many conflicts in gear that should naturally go with a WW-centric build. Since WW spends a little bit of fury often, it's perfect for proccing the upgraded Zodiac ring. The WW set has no survivability bonuses, so you're going to need to get that elsewhere...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The new sunwuko 4pc and marauder 6pc kinda broke new ground on this matter. A lot of people feared the set bonuses would stack with other bonuses(sometimes referred to as DIBS or category A). But that was not the case. Both are in a category of their own, so it might be safe to assume that...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You're over-inflating the value of one primary weapon affix just because it's rare. It is not that valuable. If you're at the point where a primary weapon affix is holding back your progression, you've probably farmed enough to have more than enough gifts. Or are just extremely unlucky.
  13. Deathwing

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm not following you here. Assumption: no gift. If you get a really good weapon without a socket, roll one of the affixes into a socket until you find a gift. At worst, you temporarily lose out on 10% damage or LoH or CDR. That CDR *might* be really important for a few classes/builds...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    rgift is not the only way to get a weapon socket. It effectively gets you another primary affix on your weapon that is NOT a socket. That's how it should be evaluated. Now, finding a weapon that's suitable for rgifting and then finding a rgift, yeah, that's pretty annoying. But it doesn't...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    What you quoted was in response to Tenks about the rgift. Taeguk is +35% at level 50 and BoTP is +20%, another 15% to elites. I don't see +15% damage to trash and 35% armor worth the build restrictions. The alternatives I listed provide more dps on trash(moreso if you go witching hour)...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I wouldn't put those in the same category. Unity's power is much much higher than what essentially is 7% IAS/10% CDR/28k LOH, depending on your class and build.
  17. Deathwing

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I think people overemphasize Taeguk's impact. BoTP alone provides more damage on elites just through how Taeguk stacks with a myriad of other monk modifiers. From my spreadsheet, which I will admit isn't exhaustive, I've found Laws of Seph, Thundergod's(or witching hour for more dps and less...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    That's the most popular torch build, but I'm not sure it's the ideal setup. Torch + Cindercoat frees up a lot of gear and build restrictions. You use so little spirit you can actually take advantage of attack speed and RCR. I'll admit I'm a little biased against Taeguk. Yes, I know about...

    A yellow with ideal stats can be had for cheap from the gem crafter. All you miss out on is 5% elemental. And I guess in this case, the decent passive.

    Yeah, I get that passing by reference and pointers are very similar. I actually like the verboseness of dereferencing or passing a pointer. It's very obvious the kind of fuckery that could follow.

    Gungdo is for grifts only, unfortunately. The fun it adds, and it definitely is fun to watch it chain, is counter productive because it slows you down compared to blowing shit up with a few bells.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Understandable. So much to theorycraft, too little information. I'm going with 4 piece Raekor and 6 piece IK being the best set next patch. No vile ward, can't fit it likely. The freeze and insane DR you get from WoTB, CoTA, and Unity will easily beat out WW. Maybe WW without that set...

    You level the gem to 25 and put it in a level 70 legendary. They've said that 2.2 is likely going live in between seasons, just like 2.1.2 did. S2 barb likely won't have access to the S3 item, which if they are smart, is the all-rune WoTB item. Delly, you mentioned "WoTB forever" in...

    I can't find what those costs which probably means they are way too expensive(for average household consumers). Crone: not entirely sold on AC. I'd probably buy an AC router from Mikrotik if they made one. But my phone(nexus 5), my boxee, my wife Tab 4, none of them have AC antennae. I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'd be careful with that first assumption. Specifically, I doubt that set will work in grift progression. It's all damage, just like the Roland's they are kinda sorta fixing this upcoming patch. You might be able to mix with 2 piece IK and CoTA damage reduction rune, but I don't think even...

    More of 2.2 PTR has been datamined. PTR Patch 2.2 Datamined! - News - Diablo Fans Raiment looks a bit hamfisted. 4 and 6 piece begs generator-less, which is obviously at odds with the 2 piece. Though, not sure if DS at 50 spirit is sustainable given how quick it is. Also not sure if...

    No idea, just know it happens. I'm definitely seeding more stuff than that, but it's not the seeding that's the problem. The active downloading either clogs the connection or makes the router shit itself. The engineer in me really wants to buy the mikrotik unless someone can convince me...

    It's likely a lone item. Notice the new barb WW & Rend(hi, we learned nothing from Rolands!) set is 1 - 2 - 3, right in a row. Which has me worried for the Raekor set. 25 and 26 are current 5 and 2 piece Raekor, which either means the datamining is messed up(likely), they made the "Furious...

    Looking for a router that won't shit itself when I torrent anything. Currently have a DIR-655 and it does fine most of the time, but after a week or so, it requires a reboot. It's been requiring more reboots lately, sometimes while not even torrenting, just heavy usage(netflix + youtube). At...

    Learning pointers in middle school might actually be detrimental. Took me forever to correct that block.
