Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Shidoshi - 2015-02-25

Hoho perma zerk is back xD


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2015-02-25

Inna's Mantra 6 pieces: [Mystic Ally casts Cyclone Strike, Exploding Palm, Lashing Tail Kick, Seven-Sided Strike, and Wave of Light when you do.]

To say I came a little would be generous. Did you know the only piece of Inna's to overlap Sunwuko's is the Helm slot, and no one wears the Sunwuko's Helm anyways? Inna's set on its own is terrible because all it does is give free Sweeping Wind, free Mantra, and doubles triples your damage (Because of Crudest Boots adding one extra Mystic Ally). Sunwuko's gives 6x your damage. So combined with full Inna's, that'd be 12x 18? Or would it just be 6+2 = 8 like Marauder's Sentries? If they're generous and put the new piece on the Bracer slot so people can keep wearing Torches or Leoric's Crown, or have this new legendary be Wrists and not a redesign of Crudest Boots...
P2_ItemPassive_Unique_049 - Increase the passive effect of your Mystic Ally and the base passive effect of your Mantra by [{VALUE1}*100]%.

Unhallowed Essence on its own seems pretty average to be honest, since you typically can't get that high Discipline. Cloak + Quiver + Hand-Crossbow = +40 at best, meaning you'd have to reroll them in a lot of scenarios, and you need a Hand Crossbow. +15 from Preparation if you want to use a slot for that, +20 from Natalya's if you RoRG 2 pieces or just wear 3. And then you sacrifice your defensive capability (i.e. Smokescreen) to be able to deal damage that's barely higher than Marauder's at max.
Thankfully, there appears to be a supporting legendary that makes Multishot hit twice on monsters below X% HP. Now, we can only hope it's some useful number.

I would prefer if they kept the current Natalya's 4-piece bonus along with the new effects because it's pretty nice to not need to actively do anything or use any resources except wait for things to die to get that cooldown reduction. But I guess this new thing can be viable for higher content.

Roland's Legacy 2 pieces: [Every use of Shield Bash and Sweep Attack reduces the cooldowns of your Laws and Defensive Skills by 1 second.]

I'm liking that Roland's change though, makes it pretty interesting. Looking forward to giving it a shot. I never did finish Roland's though, I stopped at 4 pieces... hmm

Wrath of the Wastes is up from 300% as shown at Blizzcon to 400%, huh? That's sexy. I don't think that's-

*Reads new Immortal Kings bonuses.*

HOLY pineapple! PERMA-WOTA IS BACK!

pomegranate, I might be better off sticking with my Immortal Kings even for Whirlwind.

I was under the impression they wanted to make this specific item to help with making the 0-dog builds and similar a bit more viable without Legacy items.

Makes sense since that build is ridiculous right now.
From what I've been reading that item will also give Monks perma Serenity if they can achieve 57.1% CDR. Seems stupid as hell lol.

Yeah, there's a lot of reasons why having it be global can't work.

I wanted to hop on to see for myself if Inna's + Sunwuko's was super OP or not, but when I copied my character, it gave me a copy from pre-2.1.2 so....................................
Guess I'll be reading about it, and testing it myself on the weekend.

Looks like Inna's bonus doesn't work with Sunwuko's, and Sunwuko has a currently unimplemented Chest + Legs piece and a 6 piece bonus. So possibly moving the 4piece to 6piece since it's just that strong right now.
Inna's is pretty shitty then as a 6-piece. The loss of the Sweeping Wind reduction hurts people who depended on it for Taeguk too.

Apparently, Zunni's got shafted too by having the 6th piece be Gloves. Great idea.

We need your Battle.net Battletag to add ya, not character IGN. I would assume it's Shouri#???? or something like that.

Best new Legendary name goes to "Little Man's Finger". Biggrin

Undocumented stuff: http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-iii-general-forums/diablo-iii-general-discussion/114284-ptr-2-2-undocumented-changes

Some interesting new things not mentioned in the notes. Rifts closing instantly is a nice change but hopefully it's for solo only. Rolleyes

Corrupted Ashbringer? Another nice homage to a famous WoW weapon

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2015-03-01

Spent a little bit of time trying out the new Roland's on my Crusader with what I had. It's really powerful, like Sunwuko's (since it's the same multiplier) though not quite M6 11x bonus. I had just rearranged my gear on my Crusaders, and tried out my Roland-4 that I had equipped on live to get a feel for its current effectiveness. It was pretty difficult to justify. I only had resource issues on single targets, i.e. RG, but the high level of squishiness and low damage was too much, especially with such poor defensive capabilites on the skills, so getting a try on PTR made a great comparison.

The new 2-piece bonus is quite interesting. I ended up trying this build
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/crusader#cZYRfX!aSeR!YYaYYZ
Since I only had Fire gear, but I would love to give this in Holy a try, and otherwise, probably just end up taking a different support instead of Sweep Attack since it's so bad.
With Crumble, it felt really powerful since it was so easy to get the effect to activate.
Divine Verdict was up so often, I may have ended up recasting it too soon and wasting actions. It provides a great damage effect and crowd control, and if more crowd control is needed Uncertainty is excellent.
I looked at Judgment, and it always comes back to Resolved. Conversion could be good depending on what you're doing, but don't think it would have been effective with the speed I was able to kill things at. Mass Verdict is really bad. It can't pull a lot of things and Gathering Sweep is way more effective.
Unstoppable Force is a no-brainer running no generators, but if I had Shield Glare - Zealous Glare, I'd probably take Critical.
Steel Skin is really the only good choice here. Flash if you're speed running maybe, but purely as defensive, everything else is bad. I could maintain it pretty well, though the situation got a bit sticky if I was low on Wrath.

If I had the 6-piece bonus, I'd be much more reliably maintaining all of these active at the same time, and I think it's fairly good. The damage output is definitely there with the 4-piece, and this addresses the survivability without forcing Akarat's Champion on a build that can't support it well.

I look forward to regearing my Crusader now.

New patch being datamined. Not particularly great changes in several cases.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2015-03-10

mfw they buff Tal'Rasha's 6pc when the gear set is already on (better than?) DH levels of ridiculousness when combined with Focus + Restraint.
Also thank god they changed Firebird 4pc to work with any fire spell.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Endgame - 2015-03-10

I'm loving those Immortal King's changes.

The original changes were already sexy and awesome. And they just made them even better and even made the Boulder Breaker a viable option now.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - MuscleWizard - 2015-03-10

Oh lawd. Fetish army lasting until they die as the 2 piece set bonus for zuni?


Hell yes.
