Probably will have to wait for RoS for the new affixes, yes.

What is Apocalypse mode? I saw someone post about it last week but never saw any more info.

I haven't seen anything about it other than that post, maybe that was in early beta and the idea was canned? Because everything I've seen has pointed to Torment 6 being the highest difficulty.

Looks like they still haven't updated the official FAQ page in the past 3 months which references Demonic and Apocalypse, but there are forum posts saying they changed Easy, Normal, Hard, Torment, Demonic and Apocalypse into the current Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, Torment. Either they dropped a mode or we might get a 6th for RoS?

@Mala you and Des were right, those legendaries we talked about CAN roll any affix they are just rare as hell. Saw a thread this morning with pictures of legendaries that are trifecta rolled + main stat or weapons with a socket now that I'm back at work. It seems like the good legendaries are really just rare as hell if you want the proper rolls. (At least in RoS we have the Mystic)

So got a hellfire ring, took 14machines, ended up with 2 of two of the organs and had to farm a few more machines(only prepared 12 at first) to get the 3rd organ, so now I just need one more organ for another ring(but then again since the portal is random who knows how many machines I'd need for that other ring). Farmed the keys on torment 1, took quite a while but was fairly easy and DH is pretty good at farming keys with Vault - Tumble + Tactical Advantage(and preparation for some of the maps) and was farming rares and shit inbetween too so was alright.

Did the ubers themselves on torment 4, which is absolutely unviable for me to farm on but very easy to kill bosses with. Was using this for the bossesDemon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo IIIbasically drop sentries and just run around kiting shit and shooting them, popping wolf with a bunch of clusters at the same time, was slow but very easy. I usually use cluster shooting star for the rocket synergy but since the rockets target random shit and the bosses summon a bunch of shit adds, it wasn't actually doing so good and the aoe potential of loaded for bear worked better. For khule+siegebreaker though, I had to switch up to a much much more defensive setup because of the reflect damage on siegebreaker and ranDemon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo III

Overall was pretty easy, got a few deaths while trying to figure out how to deal with them easily enough especially siegebreaker, the new companion helps a fuckton though, since it does fairly good dmg even when you're kiting and more importantly tanks one of the bosses in every fight(like it'll tank siegebreaker while khule attacks you and the only time siegebreaker attacks you is when the pet dies, which happens about every minute or so but it rez in like 3secs anyway). Easiest was definitely maghda and SKK, take like almost no damage unless standing still so very easy as a DH.

Why the fuck are you soloing ubers.
Because I don't really know anyone that plays the game on EU, nor do I care much about it. I like playing solo anyway, it would be more efficient machine wise to group up but whatever.

There's Rerolled guild on EU too, but it's mostly people commenting on other's drops

Is there? I checked the other day for it but didn't see it in the list, maybe it's invite only or whatever. I wouldn't mind an invite(Pyros#2100), while I don't group often, I do like having a chat and I wouldn't mind doing some more ubers for another ring(still have 1 or 2 machines left and will probably end up farming a few more).

gogusrl is the leader, I think he has to accept your request to join or something

I think Deathwing is too rabid in his defense of D3 most of the time. But I also categorically disagree with your take. Legendaries could (should? imo yes) be flavorful and open up new build possibilities by having unique abilities or modifiers. The now that turns elemental arrow around is a prime example of what I am looking for in legendaries. If their purpose is to offer +gooder, why not just make them a higher level rare?
Damn right I'm rabid. Come at me with some reasonable opinions and facts and I will have a debate with you. Post some stupid shit, you're gonna get bit:

BTW, I'm not saying your post itself was stupid. There's still an undercurrent of "why can't orange mean AWESOME?!?!" in this thread, that's the main problem. And it's been explained many many times why orange isn't automatically awesome. Some people just don't want to listen.

Other than vit, you mean? I keep getting retarded shit like this:

Yes, vit counts. That may be the guaranteed stat on that ring(it is, with block). You may not value vit highly, I understand why many people wouldn't. As for the bracers, attack speed and loh are your guaranteed stats. Find me the rares with those stats...

LoH rolls on rares bracers. Attackspeed doesn't though. 5% is crap and in general the amount of attackspeed I've seen on items seems fairly worthless, quivers aside. Especially on bracers, when you can roll 15% damage. If I wasn't using nemesis bracers, I'd be using rare bracers, there might be a legendary that can roll the right stats but the way I see it you want crit, main stat, damage % of your main damage type and then crit dmg if that rolls, I think it does.

As for the EU Rerolled, can't find it on the list, is it named something else? Tried searching both clans and communities(whatever the fuck that is) and neither turned up. Found it np when I logged on the US servers though.

I value vit fine, just not without dex to go with it. To me, calling vit a primary stat makes about as much sense as calling stamina a primary stat in WoW.

To be fair, I'd be a lot more inclined to consider items that roll without dex if the entire stat system hadn't been so massively inflated. It was one thing to use items without str/dex/int on them when the #'s were usually 100 or less and only very, very rarely in the 200+ range. Now you're talking about giving up 300+ by not insisting on a primary stat roll.

LoH rolls on bracers? Are you sure? Well, I stand corrected.

As for the attacks speed being crap...shrug. Unrelated issue. That's all you're going to get unfortunately. I have no idea why they decided to cap IAS at such a measly value. But it IS a stat you won't find elsewise and that is part of the reason for legendaries.



Tanks, Vorph, tanks!! As anathema as it might be to play an ARPG as a tank, T6 group farming seems to have necessitated it. At least for the time being. Maybe it won't be needed once everyone is geared up.

I would say they have done a good job with legendaries, but I would also say they have more work to do. IMHO all legendaries should have a unique modifier, certain legendaries are still being rolled as "meh" rares.

Wasn't saying attackspeed is crap, but it seems the new values are low enough that it's very meh, old 9-10% aspeed was good, now I don't know if I'd bother, especially since the same thing happened to crit so getting good crit with only new gear is fairly hard. That makes those bracers very underwhelming since they're basically rares that have a forced attackspeed roll instead of crit, so nothing really interesting and can get better rares fairly easily. Actually have bracers that I would use if I didn't use nemesis that's 15%fire 260LoH 5.5crit and 210ish dex.

Btw anyone tried rolling flails? Do they roll with crusader stats? I wanna roll a good leveling flail before RoS as I don't play my barb so the chances of finding a str legendary with level reduction is pretty much inexistent.

Skeleton King is a guaranteed legendary at every level when playing through the quest. The rest have high rates when you're level 1-59.
Act bosses appear to be guaranteed to drop legendaries, if you are less than level 60. A character I leveled up got a legendary from each of SK, Butcher, Belial, Asmodan and Diablo.

Found a nice belt that increases your armor for 5 seconds by the amount of gold you pick up. I've seen my toughness go past 3M by that item.

Does Goldskin proc enough gold to combine well with this?
Gladiator Gauntlets might also work well in combo.
