Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2015-08-17
Should be on for most of the day. Will just have to leave for WoW raid for a few hours, but that'd be it.
Also I finally got a freaking Serpent's Sparker again. Not sure if it's still worth it with Furnace being a thing and all.

Yay, we finally broke the GR 50s.
Damn Bone Warlock stalking us through multiple rifts.

That pineappleing Jailer Frozen Thunderstorm Waller bullpomegranate. FML
I'm still not sure what weapon to use for my Wizard. NO FURNACE. I guess it will have to be Gesture of Orpheus despite it being just convenience, since I don't see much damage potential from other choices. The best I've got looks like Mirror Ball... I could try resorting my build to use my Ancient Gesture of Orpheus but it has lightning skill% on it. y u no fier
Turns out the patch is supposed to be done at 9AM PDT. Amazingly short 4 hours for a version maintenance. I'll try to be on when it comes live, but it's a little early, and I have to step out an hour after it's supposed to go live, and probably be back an hour after. i.e. 11AM PDT. I'd expect some extension though.
Might try to hop on tomorrow for the season roll over to get some of those exclusives beforehand. Want to give Ranslor's a try before they destroy crowd control, and maybe get an Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac to cube right away.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2015-08-24
Back to GR47 solo after the soft reset on ladders. Couldn't beat GR48 due to one of the main mob types being Shadow of Death ghosts and nearly every elite / champion pack had them as minions.
Got a couple more Ranslor's Folly bracers, but none were ancient. Tried out the Enchantress follower and she does heavy work. Feel like she might arguably the strongest follower now post-CC nerf. There's talk that the Scoundrel might be the best for melee based classes / specs.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2015-08-25
Was really close to clearing a GR50. Had about 4 minutes left when the RG spawned. Turns out it was Orlash. Immediately teleported on top of me and oneshot me. Then I tried to Teleport on top of him since Calamity has 100% chance to stun. He oneshots me. Ended up finishing the GR at 20:04 or something stupid like that. Part was me mismanaging the deaths near the start of the fight, but holy pomegranate he just takes forever to kill. I couldn't use my Arcane meteors on him since I needed to reserve my teleports for getting the pineapple away if he teleported on me, so I lost a ton of damage there. Awful fight.
I'll probably be using my Firebird Wizard for T7 Cache farming in the morning unless that turns out to be too much since he's a super squishy gottagofast build and use my Monk instead, and spend my materials on cubing either my Monk to do the caches better, or my Del`Rasha to do GRs.

Current build, where Slow Time is Fire. If I stick with this, it'll probably be Gesture of Orpheus as the cubed weapon which should let me play super aggressive kiting things through infinite slow times as I push forward.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#bQVkgO!Zbdh!bcaZYY
An alternative I'm considering where I wear Ranslor's Folly to use Mistral Breeze as a pull, and Piercing Orb as my spam with The Fulminator (which is being buffed to 555% Damage per Second) in the cube to DPS, also because Glacial Spike may not be utility enough after the crowd control changes. Fulminator doesn't add any single target damage as far as I know though, but this should be okay since there's less emphasis on the RG fight in 2.3. Otherwise, I can use Shard of Hate to supplement my lightning primary. May also try Living Lightning to see if the more controlled firing works better.
I have a Lightning Gesture of Orpheus but no idea what to do with it too... Maybe I'll end up switching Calamity with a different rune, use Wicked Wind and drop Mirror Image.

This patch is really nifty. Like the cube system. Now I gotta figure out how the hell to setup a Del'Rasha build. Have all the pieces, just having trouble getting a skill build.
Thinking maybe something like this:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#biVgSO!ZRYh!bcYcZY
Very similar to my current Tal'Rasha build, only replace Blizzard for Slow Time.

[MENTION=6037]Dark Link[/MENTION]
That's basically what my current active skill build ended up as except with Teleport instead of Magic Weapon. Teleport is a really powerful escape and movement option.
I miss my Mirror Images too, so when I have time, I may do a bunch of runs to see if switching to a different ET rune so I can proc Arcane with Calamity instead really hurts the damage output.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2015-08-26
The problem I noticed with Calamity from doing Bounties was it wasn't proccing F&R even on contact. That's the only reason why I would never use Teleport unfortunately.

Tons of great runs with [MENTION=6037]Dark Link[/MENTION] today.
Current Del`Rasha weapon:
![[Image: TEghfsc.png]](http://i.imgur.com/TEghfsc.png)
Not too content with it being Arcane since my Slow Time is Cold. Being able to place extra Slow Times is really powerful for speeding through rifts and kiting forward though, as well as just supporting. Really makes it a lot easier when I don't have to think where I need the next one optimally because another is coming in 2 seconds.
New Witch Doctor weapon, before and after:
Spoiler
Did some research and with the help of d3planner.com, I confirmed that IAS is a superior roll, and it would have taken like 10x more tries to get perfect damage too. It already brought me to 2m/roll to get 7% here somehow... It's amazing how much of a difference this has made though. Wish I had it when all fetishes shot though, to see it shred through things like that.![[Image: hlDgZ8e.png]](http://i.imgur.com/hlDgZ8e.png)

I got the weapon using the upgrade rare recipe. Other things I found while trying:
Spoiler
I managed to get two Ancients of each of those. This seems like a simple way to gamble an item you want without having to go through Kadala's pomegranate. Just gotta spend some time farming materials later so I can do this with other pieces and other characters.![[Image: vdJp8CQ.png]](http://i.imgur.com/vdJp8CQ.png)

Probably a good way to try for a decent Yang's Recurve [MENTION=18]Justin[/MENTION]
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Justin - 2015-08-26
Wow, I saw your post and actually tried that before going to work, and I got a recurve! Didn't roll ancient but that's fine. Awesome idea, just need a dead man's legacy now and to work on getting my toughness up so I don't die in two damn hits.

[MENTION=18]Justin[/MENTION] Glad you got something good out of it.
[MENTION=6037]Dark Link[/MENTION]
Thanks, I found that fix a little after you left the first time and it looks like it works for now. I seem to have two separate issues in D3.
The first is my video card occasionally takes a dump and my monitors reset. This could be a normal memory error as well since I do have many things open.
The other is similar to what is described in that thread. My game would straight up stop loading if the map is Desolate Sands. I'd be stuck in the loading screen, and since I don't play with sounds, I don't know if I'm actually loaded and the graphics just won't show. I wasn't really aware it was specifically Desolate Sands until it clicked when we tried to run a bounty there. It makes sense now why I kept crashing in some rifts when I went to the next floor. The tile sets were Desolate Sands.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Endgame - 2015-08-27
Hmm. Double immunity, or Obsidian for perma-WotB?
I mean, permba-WotB grants a permanent damage and snare immunity. But double immunity can trivialize elites/RGs and more than make up for the lack of damage decrease by reducing the need to even avoid attacks. (Depending on RG.)
Also, I'll need a good immunity amulet. I had all but Fire. Extracted them all anticipating that I'll be using the Star once I can find one. Arcane/Fire or Fire/Poison sound like good combinations.

Tried this a bit today. I'm playing a WoL monk but use exploding palm for huge burst damage. Can't wait to stick the 100% EP fist bonus on my diabo. Already own one just need to get used to the new mats and cube.

Getting mats isn't too bad it's just slow if you do all of those bounties alone. With a decent group it should only take 30ish minutes total.

If you run T7 and just hit the act bonuses up in sequence, you'll get 8 act mats a run.
T8-10 all also give 8 act mats, so T7 bonus caches are theoretically the current most effective way to farm them.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Soph - 2015-08-27
Good to know! I will probably start experimenting with new builds soon, but I'm quite liking the idea that warden farming is actually REALLY good now since they drop completed machines.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2015-08-28
Seems the "Difficulty Chart" was updated to reflect 2.3. It's not fully updated, but should help for T6-10.

Looks like I'll be making my Hammer Crusader on Seasons. Though I still want to finish gearing up my non-seasons as well.
WAS A FUN GRIND TO 70.
