My experience with lightning barb is also very underwhelming. Went back to fire and right now my fun is with the improved seismic slam. Not amazing againts elites but those waves just one shot everything else. I think the skill is still bugged in really close melee range.

Welp. Buddy got an Odyn to drop so he gave it to me. Tried out lightning barb and I hated it.

Got a royal ring of grandeur so I tried leapquake barb WITH perma cota, and it was boring. Tried just leapquake and it was boring.

Seems like most of the "best" builds boring as hell

Completely subjective. I think leapquake is probably one of the funnest things in d3.

I think playing jade set WD for instance is one of the most tedious unfun things ever. Part of the reason I quit playing my WD.

Decided to see potential for getting RoRG. Just did your typical lootsplosion video w/ cache's. Nothing special but out of the 25 cache's, 8 were completed at t2 difficulty, the other 17 were completed on t4. Out of the 25 cache's, 1 ring (which was shit). Can't complain really. But still, was hoping for better

*Forgive the heavy breathing. Was using a shit mic while at work*

Major thanks to Kemuel and JudgeMental for hooking me up with a TF (was a str drop, rerolled to int) and a Tal helm (to complete my 4pc).

Real Bros, Bros....

Think ive salvaged about 200+ legs since buff went up - the only good thing ive got was a decent Axe of Sankis. I've been hoping for a WoW, TF, or Shard. Does the buff ending at midnight pst?

IMO, they need to keep the legendary drop rate as is (with the anniversary buff), seems about right, and allows me to reroll stats and create some crafted sets for my characters. Plus I have gotten a few sidegrades for new builds, and honestly it even has me pondering to run a 2nd set of level 70 characters to play alternate builds with.

@Hate I thrived in T6 yesterday with the gear we talked about but I added Ancient Parthan Defenders, the defense boost from the stun from leap is plenty to get you out safely and re-leap.

I agree - this drop rate seems more normal because its really not that different - its hard to explain but i honestly dont notice too much of a difference as is. Ive played a bit more over the past few days but what has dropped has been mostly utter shit.

Korrupt · May 21, 2014

PoE is about to double their drop rates for most legs so the pressue is on (map drops getting different %'s)

Naw I get you. Most legs that drop are complete garbage. A completely unscientific rate would be around 90%+ are salvaged for a soul. I would say 6-7% are interesting sidegrades, and maybe 1-3% are upgrades. Which generally means I normally walk away with a lot of souls to reroll with, or I have a couple of sidegrades to play with later. Maybe get lucky and get 1 or 2 upgrades (at best) a week, which generally gets worse as I am now looking for one slot to upgrade as opposed to 10, 9, 8, 7 etc. Point in case my WD. I am looking for a Zuni's mojo, pretty much everything I have on my WD in all slots will stay as is for the build I am using, but if I get a ring, or head of Zuni's I will bank them as I dont want to give up my SoJ or my Quez. I can effectively farm T5 at this point, once I get it, I will move onto my Crus and work on his gear. This drop rate is right for me and my play style at least.

Needless · May 21, 2014

It really seems like the only people saying the drop rate is too high, are the poopsockers playing the game 8+ hours a day.
I played last night for like an hour and a half and didn't see a single legendary even with the buff lol

Bad streaks are as common as lucky streaks, this shit needs to be permanent.

Amzin · May 21, 2014

My brother did about 4 rifts last night and got less legendaries than I did in my 1 on the same torment level. There's still a fuckton of RNG going on. But with the buff I at least feel like there's a carrot within my view. Without the buff there's just a barren plain of despair.

Neki · May 21, 2014

Yeah this drop rate seems right even though I am salvaging most of the legs that I find

The thing is, even if your item does drop, there is a high possibility that it will roll shit stats (case in point, the video above) which means that you have to carry on farming the item but on a less urgent basis.

My Vyr pants for instance; already a low % drop to being with. It dropped for me this week but it rolled near minimal int and all resist, +shock pulse skill and 1 fucking socket. Absolute garbage.

I just about bankrupted myself trying to roll +crit chance on my Mirrorball. It costs about 4mill per reroll now and increasing. Burned about 70mill and cleaned out my cache of yellow shards in trying. Still can't roll the damn stat. It might be more economical just trying to find another one instead. Fuck.

Thats brutal haha, i have really bad Kadala luck too

been trying to get either akkhans helmet or an andy's but i've only ever seen 2 mempos lol

I'm about that many in for the helm. Swimming in Invoker, Blind Faith, etc.

Tenks · May 21, 2014

With the buff I average maybe 1.5 legs per T4 rift. It feels about right. IMO they should keep it. The game doesn't have an economy so you need to flood individuals with legendaries assuming that 9/10 will be complete salvage bait.

I love some of the auto generated names on crafted stuff. I made an amulet called Prestige Tongue last night. Hannibal Lecter would be proud.

Yeah, that's the meta game we play every night too with the few that I run with regularly... who can get the worst/funniest/most racist named item. I had Black Persuader or something last night.
