Justin Wrote:This is the reason I haven't felt like playing lately... people with less than 100 hours have full sets while I've put in a good 300 since RoS and have ONE piece of marauder's. I don't expect this pomegranate to just rain from the sky, but come on. There needs to be some means of making this crap easier to obtain for people like me. And who knows if that piece will even be USEABLE when it finally does drop, y'know?

I know they mentioned that there's a legendary timer - A timer that ensures you get a legendary after a certain amount of play. They need to add that for Set items too, albeit longer. I don't think Set items should count as Legendary items either. There's way too many Legendary possibilities compared to Set possibilities, it's ridiculous. I've played almost exclusively on my Wizard, at Paragon 150 or so, and I've only ever gotten TWO set items from drops EVER. 90% of important drops are useless Legendaries that do nothing or have an effect that's pretty much pointless. Meanwhile I've seen people not many Paragon levels higher than I am with full sets, multiple sets, and all kinds of other goodies that make me look like I've barely played at all in comparison.

I'm not expecting exactly the same rates, but I also shouldn't be at the point where every drop is just another Forgotten Soul.

Yep, same here. There's way too many buffs they've announced for 2.0.5 to bother playing before it's out. Plenty of other games to play anyway.

"oh nice a set crossbow dropped i hope it's the other danett- it's the same one i already have"

At least the DPS was a lot higher than the one I had so it's an upgrade at least. Biggrin

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Shidoshi - 2014-05-04

Got my first set item on my WD. Still very far from the 6 piece bonus, but it's already an upgrade over my old yellow shoulders Big Grin

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - TugboatWilly - 2014-05-04

Lowish rolls but I'm happy to finally have one. Biggrin

grats JH is pretty much the best when you get 6 pc.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Foolyz - 2014-05-04

So that's why JH is op. I never got around to looking at the set. So it's basically Haunt and Swarm for crits, pop Soul Harvest, and then fish for more crits? Does it do the full 5-minute damage with Creeping Death?

That's the whole reason it's so damn good.

I heard it only does 30 ticks of damage instantly.
That could be wrong but i read something along those lines somewhere.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-05-04

From what I've read, Jade Harvester cuts up to 30 seconds off the current remaining duration. Creeping Death makes the 8s duration go up to 5 minutes, and the 16s duration up to 10 minutes for Locust Swarm I believe. When you use Soul Harvest, it cuts 30 seconds from this duration and does that damage instantly. Quetzalcoatl doubles the damage per tick too, so that doubles the damage when you Soul Harvest too.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Foolyz - 2014-05-04

So it only does 30 ticks instantly and still consumes the DoT? Hmm. Oh well, still op

Ya you combine it with Quezalcotl as it literally doubles the damage. Creeping death is capped I THINK at 1 min or so for damage calc. Basically you throw all your dots out and then soul harvest for some crazy damage. I heard sunkeeper is #1 for 1 handers for the set. Problem is with dots for d3 is the crit is calculated on cast and never again for the remaining ticks. I don't know why they can't do it like wow with individual crits on ticks.

I've read SO many threads on this. If they want to make a crit build viable, it should be fun as well. I refuse to play my WD if I have to fish for crits, since I very much like DoT builds.

With the right set up, it is why you see Witchdoctors doing 1billion crits.

Apparently Legendary drop rates got leaked / revealed.

Shows how terrible the loot system is if it's all true. Frown

I'm sure Blizzard is happy.

Also, pineapple Frostburns, go eat a plantain Blizzard. Lower elemental damage, rolls one less primary stat than Magefist, one primary is guaranteed to be non-dps, and it's 1/10th the rate.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Evilince - 2014-05-04

If those rates are correct then I got extremely lucky getting a kridershot in the first week RoS hit.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Justin - 2014-05-04

Calamity is 1.79%... welp. >_>

I wouldn't say it's terrible. It basically says "If the game rolls a legendary or set item for a given slot, these are the % of which item of said legendary could drop.", if that makes sense.

Example, if the game rolls for a legendary Amulet to drop for your Wizard in a T1+ game, you have a 7.18% of that amulet being a Moonlight Ward.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-05-04

Another interesting thing to note is certain legendaries are disabled from the smartloot table for certain classes.
Wizards can't find smart-looted
Doombringer

Witch Doctor can't find smart-looted
Fulminator
Schaefer's Hammer

For whatever reason, the Bovine Bardiche can't be found by Witch Doctors.

Only Monks and Crusaders can find smart-looted Skycutters. This brings the question that if the item can be dropped as non-smartloot, will it roll a stat for one of the other classes, who don't have Holy skills?

They've clearly put some foresight into disabling gear for classes that can't use them, but at the same time, Odyn's Son falls through the cracks, spawning for Witch Doctors with one less primary because they don't have lightning skills. This has been widely reported and ignored.

Anyways. I've already seen shitty comments like "THIS ISN'T REAL RNG".
