Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-09-23

Based Blizzard! I've been on a massive Topaz shortage ever since I made the Flawless Royal gems for my Wizard.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/14527123037?page=1#2

Quote:We've made a couple of posts on this subject, but I'm happy to comment on it again since it's still sort of new information. Basically, our plan is to implement a way for players to target specific gem types when farming (like Topaz), and also provide a way to spend your excess gems. We'll certainly share more information as soon as we're able to, but for now it's still in the development process.

That will certainly help, rerolling my RorG and Unity left me with nearly zero topaz. My other gems are at around 1000 marquises.

Reading the legendary gem analysis for WW below the patch notes. Didn't really help much since he didn't test Taeguk which is the one I'm currently getting to 25. It scales incredibly well and helps both with damage and mitigation, but getting to full stacks and maintaining them could be a pain. I have to test it some time.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-09-23

Patch notes are in the launcher now, but they can't be copied so I can't repost them.

Mainly life bonuses to Witch Doctor pets. Lots of QOL changes.
Boon of the Hoarder should no longer flood the screen. tfw there's so many gold piles on the floor, activating Ferret can't loot any of them at all.
Some bug fixes to Bane of the Trapped for Frozen monsters. Poison gem works with pets now.

Keys are now group drops. More mats from RGs

THEY'VE REMOVED MY SECOND FAVOURITE MAPS FROM GREATER RIFTS. NO MORE SEWERS OR AQUEDUCTS. And a bunch of shitty monster types have been adjusted, i.e anything that burrows or flies through walls.

Kadala cost and legendary rates have been increased so you no longer buy 100 Rares to salvage. RIP best source of Veiled Crystals.

Jewelry enchanting now costs an Imperial Gem instead of Flawless Imperial.


ELECTRIFIED NOW HAS A SHORT INTERNAL COOLDOWN

Thank god. I always kill my party members when an elite has Electrified because of my Chain Stun build. Sad

The infinite DoT debuff should now have a unique effect when it is applied

HUGE QOL change. Will definitely speed up clearing and GR runs.

The Kadala thing is terrible. Not only has it ruined the ease of collecting mats it will make 500 blood shards feel like a lot less =(

I hope the costs aren't too insane or its just going to be a pain..

 Spoiler

People are reporting getting legendaries after 100-200 shards so it's not too bad.
Also Rift Guardians drop a lot more crafting mats now as compensation for the Kadala change.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Soph - 2014-09-23

WOOOOW That is expensive. I sure hope the legendary rate is as good as you say though. 5x the price is ridiculous =(

I feel like the biggest punishment of this change is newly levelled 70s. I used to use kadala to get yellow gear and maybe if I was lucky some legendaries.

Will try this out when it hits EU tomorrow and see if the change is better than it looks.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-09-23

The legendary rate is 33% higher than before now.

Quote:For clarity since my phrasing is losing people. Blood shard costs are 5x higher, to keep the same reward per shard I raised drop rates by 5x as well. Then after that I further raised the legendary chance by another 33%. The chance to get a legendary from Kadala is now 10%. Since the system is random players will inevitably go on streaks but over the course of time all players move towards the average and that average is now 33% more items than before.

On the crafting mat side, the material drops are random so its possible for players to find white, blue, or yellow mats in varying quantities. If you see 1 Veiled Crystal on a kill that doesn't mean every kill drops 1.

YES! Now playing in groups doesn't automatically make going melee impossible against electrified mobs.

JoeTang Wrote:Keys are now group drops. More mats from RGs

Woot, now everyone either gets it or not. Much easier when trying to get 1 machine per person.

JoeTang Wrote:Poison gem works with pets now.

And that's also pretty nice.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - dowie - 2014-09-23

poison gem change could make it stronger than the elite damage gem for upper levels


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Shidoshi - 2014-09-23

Just got Taeguk to level 25, I think it's actually far superior to Bane of the Trapped for my WW/Phys build. I can keep it topped out as long as I don't stop far too long to open chests or pick up items or go too far without monsters to fuel my fury. It scales faster than Trapped, 0.5% per level instead of 0.3%; gives tons of armor and also works on monsters that are too far away for Trapped's slow effect to work.

The obvious downsides are the ramp up time and losing the area slow around me which keeps stuff from running, I just need an amulet with a socket.

Next steps are:
1. Gambling an Immortal King's Irons with IAS/CHD/CHC+STR or a Tasker and Theo with similar stats.
2. Getting a Ramaladni's Gift so I can put 10% damage on my weapon.
3. Forging a better Hellfire Amulet with a socket instead of either STR or %Phys.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Endgame - 2014-09-23

Cooldown on Electrified and gem rerolls only cost Imperials now?!

pineapple YES pineapple YES pineapple YES!

*Blows all his gold crafting Imperial Amethysts.*

Yes, Seriously. I blew all my gold on Imperial Amethysts. I got 57% Critical Damage on my current necklace. Let's see if I can get that up to, oh, say..... 95% at the lowest.

Edit: Got 98%, 52 Amethysts left.

Very good. Unfortunately, I've only got 69 Veiled Crystals left, and the rate of which I get those has been gutted with the Kadala change.....


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - dowie - 2014-09-23

I'm at around 1.4billion gold cuz picking up golds is funsies


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Soph - 2014-09-24

My second witching hour just came from Kadala. This one is actually pretty amazing.

[Image: db84a2ef00.png]

I salvaged the old one as a result. Quite happy that I got one around 10 hours of game time after the last one.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-09-27

Got my Sunwuko Helm today. It's nice being able to do damage.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Shidoshi - 2014-09-27

[Image: 8sWUuqj.jpg?1][Image: 9taNYFk.jpg?1]

Yes! Finally got a Ramaladni's Gift for my Stalgard's and rolled a very good Hellfire Ammy.
Managed to finish a Rank 32 rift with loads of time to spare, then totally failed trying to do a 34.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - IllegallySane - 2014-09-27

This game sometimes, I don't even. Back to my WW Barb, because I almost never run out of Fury with this on. 10x rarer than a set piece legendary.

WHERE'S MY FINAL AHKHAN PIECE, BLIZZARD?!


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-09-29

Doing okay-ish with Sunwuko on my Monk, but I'm still undergeared. My Flying Dragon is basically lowest damage roll, and I can't seem to get a socket on it. My amulet is still a rare, though I do have an okay Legendary replacement, I need a 3rd gem that beats out 10% Holy Damage, which will probably be Pain Enhancer. Need to reroll the AR on my gloves to... CDR, or IAS I guess. Need to get more materials so I can craft Aughild's chest/bracers and reroll them. Need a less shitty shoulder because my Sunwuko rolled 416/425 dex/vit, and I rerolled Cyclone Strike damage to Armor looking for CDR. Need an additional ring so I don't have to wear Unity in groups. I got 3 damned Band of Untold Secrets and they all rolled pomegranate =[ pls DEX/IAS/CHD/CHC/MS. Wouldn't mind a decent Compass Rose or Manald Heal either, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on a Rue Chambers.

I'm really confused how people claim they aren't able to spend all their Spirit though...
