    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...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    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...

    Anyone have experience with using enameled dutch ovens on a glass stove top? One of our favorite pans is starting flake its non-stick coating and I think one of the aforementioned would be a great replacement but I'm worried about it damaging the glass(scratch or worse). Or, does anyone have...

    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...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    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.

    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.
  34. 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.
  38. 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.
