    The only way that gets fixed is because it's finally becoming common knowledge. Shit's been around for years, literally.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I wonder if there's a point to grift progression as a melee class IF you actually want to play as a melee class. There's something fundamentally wrong if I can clear a grift but the boss's regular melee attacks still one shot me. Would rather play a DH, the class best designed for avoiding...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The game's drops to content ratio is probably the best it's ever been. Reintroducing trading would decimate it. Or, everyone would get BiS in 10 minutes and get bored. Streamlining bounties -> rifts -> trials -> grifts in some fashion would go a long way to further improving that ratio...

    I may have misread Sabbat's post. I thought he was getting 'wrekt' and I assumed he hadn't completed Raekor's yet.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Don't play that build if you don't have the 4 piece Raekor's bonus. The freeze is vital to survival. Also, ground stomp is not necessary until much higher grifts. Use the stamina rune and charge around like an idiot.

    College Basketball 2014-2015

    Glad I picked this season to basically stop giving a shit about college sports. I would hope this was expedite the demise of the NCAA and the influence of basketball and football in college, but I know that's not going to happen. I'm having trouble finding a list of the violations, anyone...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    It was a slight exaggeration upon retrospection. But it was the number I immediately though of, so that at least means it's happened enough times for me to think it common. I'll fully admit I haven't done the math. I like the feel of loot (rarely) popping from chests, elites...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I can clear the entirety of a T6 rift in under that time and I usually have 6 legendaries. Fewer bloodshard, sure, but the value of bloodshards decreases greatly after you've obtained your regular set pieces.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You guys don't have 100's of grift keys sitting in your stash from doing 100's of rifts from doing 100's of bounties while leveling up? It is a shitty system that reeks of tacked on addition after addition. It could use an overhaul.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Trials need to go away. The inability for a noninsignificant amount time spent on a trial to accurately give you the correct grift level kills the motivation to use grifts as a farming system after T6 becomes trivial. Put trial stone in, pick # up to highest completed, go clear. Poopsockers...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    In 2.2, picking up one item will pick up all items of the same name within the vicinity. So close to autopickup yet not. They still want you to actively click something, so this is as close as it's probably going to get. Though, they were on record at one point that perma WoTB was bad too...

    Patch 2.2.0 Focused Feedback - PTR Feedback - Blizz Tracker - Diablo Fans Would have preferred shoulders because there's fuck all there outside of sets(and Vile Ward if you're that one class/spec). But whatever, bracers didn't have that much competition for barbs.

    Boulder breaker sucks because weapons slots should be for weapons like SoH, Thunderfury, or Odyn Son. Cool procs that might change how your build plays.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just to point out an exception: Laws of Seph have been retroactively nerfed to about half the live bonus. Also, F+R is quite powerful because the buff is multiplicative with everything, not lumped into the DIBS category. As Tenks said, I'd prefer gearing choices too. Which, if Zodiac...

    Maybe they won't nerf the ring...but they will nerf the skills! [PTR 2.2] Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac vs CDR - Forums - Diablo III Not like it matters much for the build I was hoping to use Zodiac. Turns out that the base damage on 2H weapons is so much greater than 1H that it compensate for...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Been playing around with Zodiac a bit more on the PTR. Will they nerf it? Maybe. I hope not. But, found some "interesting" functionality. The GCD triggered off some spells(i.e.: Battle Rage, Sprint, etc)? Yeah, that will eat a Zodiac proc. So, on one hand, that means spammy WW builds are...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I was thinking the new bracers would partially make up for the lost DR. I could see Zodiac avoiding the nerfbat. It comes with some horrible primary affixes and you have to restrict your build a lot to get some dependable use out of it. 2 short cooldowns or 1 long and 1 short is probably...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Whirly barb is definitely back, I just can't decide which setup is better. Assumption: perma WoTB is too good not to take, especially now that Insanity is multiplicative(no idea if this is intentional). Perma WoTB can be achieve easily through 6 piece IK or not so easily through Zodiac. I...

    Title is misleading, 100% CC not possible! That ring will likely be nerfed. I wonder if WW with 4 pc IK and Zodiac would be better so you don't have use the shitty IK weapon.

    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.

    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...
