Normals are still better for bounties, yeah. And never do them solo. Click that community button next to your friends list and join the bounty run community. 3-4 minutes per cache.

picked up a fairly average T&T, and a zuni off-hand that I can't afford to reroll to +fetish anymore. =(

Got 2 set items (shoulders) from Kadala last night in the span of ~400 shards, that's greater than the number of non-ring/amulet set items I've gotten on my Crusader since creating him (1) and doing rifts/bounties for several dozen hours at 70. Yay RNG!

If going a DoT build for WD, do you stack Poison or Cold damage? Locust + Haunt? Or just mix it up?

May be pointless, pets are so powerful now, and I don't have full set of Jade's, but wanted to try something different.

I think he means that isn't worth running higher torments. With Kadala giving set items now, running easier difficulties is evenmorerewarding.

I always liked full poison better personally. Nothing high end gear wise on mine, but splinters/locusts along with spirit walk, pirahnado (?) and some fluff it's easy to plow through large amounts of trash in T1 that dies as I run around.

Ran single rift after patch - 2 legos that got sharded, some plans and Akhan gauntlets.

Best patch ever

I suppose Searing Locusts, with Haunt wouldn't be much different, and I can keep some of the fire damage I already have. hmmm.

Could go all poison build with Poison Darts, Locusts, and Acid Rain, Piranhado. But Haunt is so damn good! Lots of damage!!

Crone, if you want to do a DoT build you really need to focus on cold damage, and then round it out with a little poison in slots you can't get +cold. I ran a cold haunt build for a day, but found it too weak overall on tankiness during T3+ stuff. Think I maxed out at 20mil crits, which is underwhelming as fuck when you look at a pet build with my level of gear.

I was missing swamp legs, frostburn gloves and a harringtons at the time I tried it -- and I just picked up the Utar's Roar pattern. Best guess I'd hit 45-50mil crits (pre crit normalisation on dots) with that kinda gear. That would beat the youtube video of the guy dotting up Ghom for 40mil and popping him with JH for 1.5bil though.

So played for like 45 minutes over lunch. Blew all my ~450 shards on WD helms, got 2 salvaged legendaries. Did Act I bounties on T1 on my monk, didn't get more legendaries but got 2 set plans. Could see the difference in gold drop too. Wish the buff to legendaries was permanent :l

I've been averaging around 70 Blood Shards on T3, highest was over 80, lowest was just over 60.

Pet's are super powerful, there is no doubt about that. With the 2.0.5 changes I feel better about using Zombie Dogs, but I'm still underwhelmed by Firebomb, or other options (Toads) or spiders, for clearing other stuff out when it's not a boss fight.

I hate that 4 of my abilities I never use unless it's a boss fight, or only the rare chance a dog dies. Leaves Piranhado and Firebomb/Toads/Darts/whatever as the only thing left. It makes for boring and slow trash clearing. Sometimes I pop Garg out on trash, since with Grave Injustice, it's cool down comes back pretty quick, but it's still not that often or fun.
