Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-09-02

I tried doing key farms yesterday, but I couldn't tell if I was just bad or Blizzard fixed the A4 farming trick, because I couldn't get the checkpoint at all.

Just tried some party greater rifts with my clan. We made it to tier 30 (and cleared it) but that was our limit. Things hit so hard at this point that without the unity trick soloers can do it is actually really difficult to stay alive.

We all need better gear too, so maybe can push a few more tiers with upgrades. xD

Had some great Caches with [MENTION=18]Justin[/MENTION] last night.
Finally got a RoRG, and it came with a socket.

Trying to burn my excess Rift Keystones. One speed run on NORMAL:

Rift immediately after:

Bit unlucky with rolls at mystic though. Got my Leoric's Crown up to 1.5m before seeing CHC, but it at least got to 6% in two rolls after that. NEED MOAR SOLES


Got a Vault last night and just now as well on Normal. Both times, 2 leg bracers. Promise of Gloryx2, Gundo Gear, Steady Strikers.

Considering rerolling the Fire to Lightning because my Lightning build needs it and my Fire doesn't... hmmm Really would like a Lacuni's.
If you let Greed charge into a wall, a Goblin will drop off her back up to 6~7 times. The things try to portal away in like 5 seconds though.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Soph - 2014-09-03

Had quite a good session on D3 today. Managed to level Bane of the Trapped to 25 and slotted it into my Unity. (I found a Vigilante belt with ok rolls.. it will do until I find another)

Found an amulet with holy/cc/chd/str with good rolls. Will use this when I can get better CDR rolls on my existing items to make up for taking out an 8%.

STILL looking for Ramalalaladingdong gift. I've put in some 30 hours+ since the patch hit without seeing it. :C


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Words - 2014-09-03

So a Goblin opened a portal to I forgot what it's called for the first time yesterday. I got boots for the Jade Harvester's set and a bunch of random crap that aren't that great but are upgrades for now. I was kinda bummed so I decided to buy some mojos from Kadala and I got Zunimassa one, which is the set I want for the build I'm currently using. I hope I can get the rest of the set just as easy.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - dowie - 2014-09-03

God Raekor set is freakin amazing. Got to rift 32 ... Raekor is just insane

GRift 36...NEVER AGAIN!

Granted that was the most fun I've had yet. Pretty hilarious how hectic it was.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - dowie - 2014-09-03

248 paragon and I finally got my first ramaladani gift....

What a nightmare though. It's pretty tough choosing between the damage of Fire and the Crowd Control of Lightning. Seemed like we really needed the DPS there though.

Using muh 1337 maths skills, I've determined that for 1v1 damage, you would need to hit the 2.84 breakpoint for Marked for Death to be better than Loaded For Bear. This assumes LfB's grenades all contact though.
 Spoiler

With a single Marked for Death, it's 65700% which is less and 87876% which is slightly more, but if we're running with a Calamity, both attacks get it so the gap widens and CA catches back up.
I was considering it because then I'd be able to maintain constant self-attacking, but my own damage with purely Immolation Arrow isn't comparable to the difference. I also lose the LfB that are cast each time Helltrapper drops a Sentry. Might try a few solo GRs to see how big the difference is. I also want to try Cluster Bombs as well, since they have really high damage potential.

As a comparison, my lightning build:

 Spoiler

With this build, I only use 2 spenders, and I take MfD: Mortal Enemy to maintain self-casting. I'm down 2 sentries from not being able to use a Rucksack, so under normal circumstances, that's 3 vs 5, a 66% difference, but with Helltrapper, it's 5 vs 7, a 40% difference, which is more manageable. Opening up a Passive Slot from taking away Ballistics helps a bit. I've been using Sharpshooter because the other option is Archery. +4% CHC, and every other second +8% CHC. MfD helps make up for the damage difference. I'm able to somewhat compete with my Fire build because I have a Lightning SoJ, and the stun utility is fairly good. There's less time to reach maximum damage and I can spend my Hatred more freely on self-cast as well. It performs significantly better against larger targets, since Ball Lightning depends on collision radius on its number of hits, and against large groups of monsters since it hits such a wide area compared to Immolation. It does around 5 hits (150% each) on a smaller target like a Zombie, and 6~7 on larger ones. I think if monsters run back and forth, they get hit more times because there's a small cooldown between getting hit from each orb. I tested on Ghom and he gets hit consistently for 6 times per Ball, which is the number I used for the math. On a Missile Dampening, I believe the Ball Lightning just lasts for like 10 seconds without moving, slowly shredding everything inside. Really want to meet that RG...

My goal is to get a T&T to bring this build to 4.15 with Helltrapper. Maybe crash everyone's games with how many bolts come out.

This should last me awhile at least
edit: whoaaaaa I just saw I founda TnT omgg it came out 50% , too. Perfect to hit the 2.16 bp


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - MuscleWizard - 2014-09-03

How the hell low is the chance to get into goblin land from killing a treasure goblin


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Soph - 2014-09-03

Well looks like Bane of the Trapped is currently broken. It applies the slow correctly but monsters take no extra damage from being slowed, blinded etc.

Feels like I wasted my time levelling this. ):
Guess I'll go level up the poison gem instead.

EDIT: Just to clarify, it seems to work on regular white mobs but it is doing nothing against elites. (My damage against elites should be much higher than white mobs with this due to 30% elite damage, but it is around the same meaning the 20% boost is only applying to normal mobs)

I hate your stupid face Sad((((((((


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Shidoshi - 2014-09-03

Raekkor's is indeed incredibly powerful now. With Evil Ward your damage shoots off incredibly high and with a little CDR you can keep charging pretty easily. They've fixed the problem of sometimes charging twice with a single press of the key so now you also have a lot more control over it.

People are saying it's ~2-3% chance to spawn.

Praise based Blizzard!

The drop rate for Bounty-specific Legendaries has been drastically increased and scales based on game difficulty (9/3)
The Cesspools should less frequently spawn enemies immediately at the start of the level (9/3)


Greater Rifts:

The drop rate for Key of Trials has been significantly increased (9/3)
The amount of Blood Shards that drop in Greater Rifts has been increased; this number scales based off the tier of the Greater Rift completed (9/3)
The Cesspools will no longer spawn in Greater Rifts (9/3)
Note that they still have a chance to spawn in regular Nephalem Rifts


Items:

Boon of the Hoarder should now work correctly when your pet kills an enemy (9/3)



Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - RedRaven16 - 2014-09-03

How do the cesspools look?

And fk yea to the drop buffs


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Foolyz - 2014-09-03

Just pulled RoRG on the last cache I opened after I left my bounty group, and then did some Grifts to upgrade my Boon of the Hoarder and decided to roll shoulders on Kadala. First one that pops is Marauder's Spines. HYPE


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-09-03

Ahahahahaha, get wrecked.

one quick question since I'm playing again but on the Ps4 can you gamble the fate of the fell?
