Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

Jeez, since the patch hit, I got a decent Flying Dragon and two set pieces for Sunwuko's set piece, for the 20% more damage. A good day!

But i've realized that drop rates for the trial greater rift keystones seem to be really low on T1.

Got my friend to play for the first time in months and we managed to get in Greed's Realm. Yay gold and legs...that were mostly useless. :p I am enjoying the "enemies sometimes explode with gold on death" gem though. I also found my third piece to the Vyr set and, since I have a RoRG, I tried using Archon for a little while and was very underwhelmed by it. It's nice to have all the abilities and a decent cooldown, but I don't think it's really worth using compared to Wizard's other skills.

._.
Can't seem to play today and tomorrow I gotta go to the office to get some things done before I start working on a Friday... Hope the weekend is less eventful.

It seems that the servers are yet again kill.

After reading a few topics, it seems you are able to get the Treasure Realm while in a normal rift. Guess I was just uber unlucky not getting one from a Goblin rift.

> Fixed an issue where the fireball effect from Gyana Na Kashu was being applied to the first target twice (8/26)

Get rekt every LTK Monk ever.

> Laws of Hope (Time Stop) will no longer allow the invulnerability effect to last beyond 3 seconds (8/26)

This was something cool that I saw mentioned over the weekend on PTR, where two Crusaders could easily give permanent invulnerability to a party using Long Arm of the Law. Combine with Shi Mizu's Haori for guaranteed crits, abuse to destroy Grifts.

Thank you, Ramaladni's Gift!

Greater Rifts are pretty cool. The trials wreck my pomegranate though.

If you have a Boon of the Hoarder, it's extremely easy to make lots of money.
1. Pick a non-pet build
2. Stack Gold Find
3. Make T6 Game
4. Start at Greater Rift Level 1 and work your way one level at a time

It also might be a bit risky in terms of backtracking, but you can avoid the purple progress globes to kill more trash monsters to get more procs as well.

I can stack over 10000% Gold Find with the event buff and I get procs up to 150k on kills. If you're lucky, you can get a rift with lots of tiny monsters like Fallen or Scorpions. It's pretty easy to make 1m streaks.

Actually, now that I consider just how much money this makes, they might just disable this gem in Greater Rifts, since nothing is supposed to drop there to begin with.

Decided I wanted to try playing again because this patch sounds fun!
I come to log in and remember that my account is attached to an authenticator which no longer exists, so i try to remove it from my account and have to put in my phone number and stuff, but then I mess up on the fucking "insert the text you see in the box" thing which has like 9 digits, all as impossible to see as the next and now I have had "too many attempts" and it doesn't give me any sort of time frame for when I should try again.

I'm sick of all the bullshit security clearance I have to go through every time I decide to come back to this game.

pain enhancer might be applying independently for each pet you have

i socketed it and noticed a massive dps spike.

Am I beautiful?

Just found akkhan helm! Now I'm up to the 4 set bonus. Just gloves and boots to go.

I still need the booties or a RoRG on mine for the 6 piece.

Seems like they finally fixed the Wave of Force delay cancel. Oh well.

Got my hands on a +2 Mirror Ball a while back. Now I'm finally getting to put it to use.

All I need is that Legendary Gem that increases damage of primaries and I'm set.

Did my first Greater Rift (level 9) and did it with about 5 minutes to spare. Got 2 legendary gems (Damage against Elites and Pet Damage) and a legendary focus from the boss, very rewarding!

Looks like Firebird wasn't 100% fixed lol.

Turns out the fire dot is determined from the first initial hit being a crit or not and stays like that.

Oh pineapple YES!

I got the Akkhan's chest. The six piece bonus is mine at last!

.....However, I still need the shoulders later on to move to the Fire Fist of the Heavens build, since I have a Cindercoat and all, but still. A HUGE upgrade for the time being.
