Diablo III: Not even death can save you from me

[Divinokage]

OOOOO, totally gonna buy it. .. .. .. ..

Well... I might have to change my mind with those changes they are making.. Perhaps I can actually feel like I'm playing Diablo. =P

 

[Sizzle]

Patch 2.01 has some pretty big changes getting ready for ROS. I'd check it out if you ever played D3 in the past!

 

[Ignatius]

It's been pretty fun playing 2.0.

 

[Divinokage]

Indeed, D3 is pretty fun now. =)

 

[Sharky]

2.01 is pretty awesome, people should hit it up. =D What torment level are people playing on?

 

[finalark]

The new loot system is ****ing awesome. I actually have gear now and I didn't have to browse the AH to get it. My friends and I are all pretty pumped for Reaper of Souls. Sadly, it comes out one week after FFX HD, so I'm going to be broke for a while.

 

[DallasPhat]

Anyone t6 geared? If you want to play sometime hit me up, dphat#1789.

 

[JTB]

i randomly opened a d3 stream for the first time ever and lo and behold, i see dphat farming act 3 with the streamer

small world

No posts for a week and RoS came out today? People must be busy playing

 

[Sizzle]

ROS is really fun. They made a lot of quality changes and I'm enjoying myself quite a bit.

 

[Divinokage]

The mystic is what redeemed the problems I had with D3. At least now I'd get another chance to get the stat I want for the item. =)

I might be streaming tonight some hardcore gameplay.

Definitely, friends list was super full at launch. Can't wait to play it some more later tonight.

 

[Hylian]

I've been streaming it . A lot better so far though I rolled a crusader so starting over.

 

[Player-3]

crusaders fun as **** blessed hammer is #1

 

[finalark]

Just got ROS. I'm going to have to wait until around 7 to play it but once I'm done with classes and buddy and I are planning on leveling Crusaders together.

For anyone who's played, is Crusader anything like Paladin from D2?

Totally agree. I gained over 200k dps today from rerolling stats haha!

 

[Player-3]

been playing a ranged crusader build and jsut hit 70, pretty funny ****

 

[Divinokage]

Hardcore or bust!!!

 

[Player-3]

i do want to play hardcore but im playing softcore to test out crusader builds cuz im really liking the class


homing justice > heavens fury final rune where its a self cast 950% lazer for 40 wrath is the best ****, then i just run 4 skills to generate wrath its pretty fun

 

[Ignatius]

I still play primarily softcore and I'm really enjoying RoS. Adventure mode in general is a lot of fun, and I just picked up a Thunderfury/Fulminator combo on my monk.

 

[Divinokage]

Oh I did find a Fulminator + Doombringer on my first Barb but I died on Belial. Now I found another Doombringer lol and using also Sunkeeper. Pretty nice vs elites.. I might stack it with SoJ to really destroy them. lol.

 

[Sizzle]

Found a pretty dope Thunderfury, most op weapon ever.

 

[Divinokage]

How strong is that?

 

[Ignatius]

It's extremely strong, procs a lot with a huge range for bouncing. Only other proc Ive seen so far that might be better is Shard of Hate on my friends Barb, it's absolutely nuts with Whirlwind.

 

[Divinokage]

I'm trying really hard to find good weapons, so far no luck though... Doing T1 runs isn't giving many legendaries.

Ya.. they look really strong omg.. NEED!

 

[Ignatius]

Well, probably not as valid if you're playing HC, but in SC me and a few friends just do chest runs in Core of Areat and Tower of the Damned level 1 on T6. You don't need to be in the zone when chests are popped to get the loot, so 1 person runs core, 1 person runs ToD and at the end both port to the other zone and check for a star on the map. The legendary rate is pretty silly at one about every 10-15 minutes. Although I've yet to get any upgrade from it, the people I run with have gotten quite a few.

What I really want are these stupid Act 2 bounty shrine gloves. It's gotta be the worst act for bounties and running them is a complete pain, I hope I drop them soon so I can stop with act 2 bounties forever.

You can also get them doing Act 4 bounties if that's any better? Personally I don't like Act 4 because the mobs are dangerous.

I also ran into the rift with 12 goblins but i only managed to kill 4 of them... tough **** as Barb =/ I also found yesterday Nemesis Bracers that gives a pack every time I activate a shrine which is amazing! And I also got shoulders that makes all my gear indestructible lol.

 

[Ignatius]

Act 4 is a bit better since it's one of the fastest you can run, but the real problem is how unlikely it is for you to get the gloves from act 4. Going from 1/5 of the bounty legendary being the gloves to 1/20 is pretty rough. Although typically if we have multiple people in a game we do act 1 2 and 4 bounties simultaneously.

Nemesis Bracers are amazing, always keep them to swap into at shrines and conduits. Also keep some homing pads for the same reason.

It's not a great screenshot but the TF procs for 3m+ damage and has a pretty great area that it can jump to.

 

[Divinokage]

I tried out a throwing barb build with Ancient Spear - Boulder Toss.. War Cry - Charge!, Avalanche - Tectonic rift, Throwing Weapon - Balanced Weapon, Stomp with 30 rage and Battle Rage - That does 20% dmg explosion on crit. Passive: Earthen Might, Animosity, Unforgiving and Bloodthirst/No escape.

It's sick... Lol Ancient spear crit for 40 million.

 

[Shadic]

I've been having a lot of fun with RoS, and I stopped playing Diablo 3 a long time ago. Went from joking about the game to sinking probably 30+ hours into RoS since it came out, welp.

Here's my Demon Hunter. Not quite Torment-ready, but I'm getting close now that I'm doing a better job stacking Crit Chance + Crit Damage + IAS + Resist All. Blasting through 'Hard' without any trouble, so yeah.

 

[Sizzle]

I think you are more than ready for Torment 1. DH have a lot of good defensive skills plus dodge from dex, so I feel like they can get by in Torment with a little less toughness than other classes. Plus your dps is high enough that I don't believe you will have trouble killing mobs in T1.

 

[Shadic]

Yeah, I'll probably try it next game. I tried farming Keywardens in Torment 1 the other day and it didn't go so hot, but I've improved a lot of my equipment since then.

I should probably focus on Toughness right now actually, I've been bouncing back and forth between damage output and survivability for awhile now.

 

[Sizzle]

Yeah keywardens are annoying because a lot of the skills they cast can't be dodged. Luckily I play WD so I get a lot of all res because of my primary stat being int, but right when ROS came out I put diamonds in all my armor slots to buff up my toughness until I farmed better gear. Make as much use of the Mystic as possible too. She is an amazing part of ROS and a great way to improve your gear.

 

[Player-3]

mystic is pretty much the best part of ros

 

[Ignatius]

Yeah, till your rerolls start costing you over 3 million per and you still can't get the affix you want.

 

[teluoborg]

So how does this torment thing work ? Is this replacing the old normal/nightmare/hell difficulty setting ? I haven't played the game in a year so I'm kinda lost.

Also I dropped more gear in those last 2 days than ever, yay !

 

[Ignatius]

Sort of, you only need to play through the game once and then you unlock adventure mode. The difficulty scaling is just to tune to how you can play. You get increased goldfind and exp per difficulty, with Torment getting an extra 15% legendary drop rate per torment level; as well as some legendaries that only drop in torment at 70.

 

[Sizzle]

Yeah, till your rerolls start costing you over 3 million per and you still can't get the affix you want.

What item are you rolling? Must be really good to keep at it that long lol

 

[Ignatius]

It's more of a too hard to replace item, it's a Triumverate with 721 int, solid damage roll and 10 crit. Since Im running a cooldown based wiz, had to reroll it a ton to finally get a ****ty cooldown roll on it 5% of the 8 it can roll.

As it is now, I'm in archon a little more than 50% of the time, which is pretty strong.
