Also Zehn, I don't know if you've tried dashing strike since the patch, it no longer moves you a tiny distance if there's nothing to target. It can actually be used just like teleport to get around.

Dashing Strike is kinda bullshit, it's so much better than teleport its ridiculous.

I think the main problem is that teleport is terrible. There's no reason it has such a high cooldown.

Yeah, to whomever it was talking about dh mobility and not being able to play wizard may want to check out monk, they get lots of mobility also and dashing strike does something besides just mobility.

Teleport does something too, it hits like a GD truck with an arcane build like mine + illusionist passive to chain TP and stun. The wizard that showed me the cathedral runs uses the damage shield rune with arcane orbs and teleport with calamity as his main dps and it works really well.

Not sure if I should play my barb or myDHto farm paragon levels, or make a Monk and get on that gravy train. Servers being down doesn't help the decision either. =(

I was working from home today and not much going on so went "ah... nice day to play D3 while I wait for dark souls to come in". Then I made the rage face.

Yeah, I had the day off last tuesday for mardi gras and servers were down until ~5:30 cst.

My 25 hours of play time Sat-Mon and 1M+ gold spent crafting yesterday says otherwise. Still using the same exact gear I put on the moment I hit 60.

Nice to see they just moved the guarantee to Diablo instead of SK. Wish I would have just not killed Diablo when I re-did the storymode so I could have gotten the SK leg and the Diablo leg with the current patch.

Link profile, genuinely curious since I've upgraded every single slot from 2.0.

It's not even particularly good stuff. I paid like 40k for my Skorn and maybe a million for the other legacy stuff a few months ago. I've been actively trying to get rid of one of the three movement speed items because of the cap and I can't even do that.

The million I blew on crafting was mostly trying to get a decent bracer, but not a single fucking one rolled with crit. Part of the problem is that I can't afford to buy the "of dexterity" recipes now. When I last bought recipes off the AH I guess I didn't get them all and they are literally 1000x more expensive now than when I bought the ones I do have. I also don't have any pants/boots/helm/belt recipes at all because the sets, Gehennas, and generic 6 slot recipes are all way out of my range.

All of my legendary drops over the weekend were no-socket weapons (mostly 2H) and a no-socket hat, followed by Justice Lantern and another weapon yesterday.

I'd say it's unlikely you'd get a Diablo legendary if you are half-way through the quests currently. Surely getting one requires a quest reset post-patch (which might even be available without having to complete the storyline).

Also, has anyone noticed any weird happenings with their quest reset availability? At one point a few days ago, I had been helping a friend level somewhere in Act 1 and 2, and my own storyline was only at Act 2 or something after my latest reset. After playing with her, I realized I was able to reset my quests. I guess this has no beneficial effect anymore (with leg being moved to Diablo), just thought it was interesting, and accelerated my SK legendary nicely for that run.

I'm almost to Act 4 on my quest reset so I'll let you know if I get a legendary from Diablo.

Even if I do it would be impossible to tell if that was guaranteed or not.

My buddy who only likes to play tank builds will be very happy with Crusader.
