Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

Only those legendaries (and the two gems) are Seasonal only. Anything else you've heard of should be non-seasonal too, like the new Triumvirate, Ashbringer, Crashing Rain.

I'd expect Dread Iron to be very good in a future patch, when they presumably rework Might of the Earth into a 6-piece, though it does look spiffy as is.
Dead Man's Legacy is a bit... bad when you can run Kridershot + Meticulous Bolts. Guess it's for Arsenal builds (because every other Multishot rune is rubbish).
Who uses Generators, let alone Justice for Crusaders? If they made a Blessed Hammer set, this would be swag though.

Nice April Fools? Those set bonuses are pretty hilarious.
Apparently the social features are real though.

That Blessed Hammer bonus. Fund it!

Vyr's Fantastic Finery 6 pieces: Archon reduces 99,99% of incoming damage and melts enemies just by looking at them.

Best set bonus.

Patch is live

Didn't notice anything different from PTR in the notes.



Did a few runs on my Monk, then on my Crusader. Gambled these. Pretty fun pomegranate.

Oh pineapple you Blizzard.

Here I was, excited for the patch. And I did get some good finds yesterday. Found a Eun-Jang-Do for my Templar, got an IK helmet, and a Bul-Kathos' Warrior Blood.

.....But only after the fact did they announce that Mortick's Bracers were removed at the last second!

Well, I guess the game giving me an Ancient Raekor's chest with decent rolls was Blizzard trying to give me a message.....

Had some great runs with [MENTION=6037]Dark Link[/MENTION]

Nabbed this off a T6 RG before we started.



Also got my first Calamity earlier. tfw pomegranate. Apparently didn't screenshot it, but I got Nilfur's for my Wizard, so I guess she's gonna be a Tal's Wizard. Was expecting to finish up Firebird's to farm other sets. I just need one piece for Tal's, probably the Chest, but maybe the Helm, and I can wear a level 60 Amulet with RoRG to complete.

Roland's AOE is remarkably bad. Tried running Sweep Attack for AOE while I used Shield Bash, and it was better to just Shield Bash everything, even for super high monster counts. It absolutely needs Denial, but then your single target becomes absolute trash because you can't use Shield Bash as often.

I gambled two pieces (Gloves and Pants) of the new set. I've officially gambled every Wizard set pants except Tals lol.
I also still lack the "Restraint" set ring
I need to figure out how Tals build is setup since there was a billion variations during the early PTR phase.

So my WW Barbarian now has IK6, dual Bul-Kathos weapons, Aughild's, Hexing Pants, etc.

Sure, the build can't hold its own in Greater Rifts that well without the bracers. (It is a survivability issue. I was dying to Blighter A LOT. And that was with dual Unity.) I cleared level 38 at exactly 14:59. (Thanks to my follower having Eun-Jang-Do.)

But at least I finally have a good speed clearing class so I can solo farm T6 rifts for fast EXP and Blood Shards to gear up my Wizard with. (And Kadala is being VERY kind to my Wizard. She just gave me an Ancient Firebird's Eye with very nice rolls, although I'm aiming for Tal Rasha's.)

Then my Wizard can use her OP powers to push Greater Rifts and level up gems until Blizzard fixes Barbarians.....

Fix what for Barbs? They're stupid strong even without the bracers.

There were a lot of complaints about survivability, and they're probably going to make the bracers enable the 50% damage reduction rune when they do finally implement it, but for all we know, it won't be until 2.3 in August.

I'm hoping to get FB6 on my Wizard running so she can actually speed through T6. It doesn't look like TR6 is very good at AoE necessarily because of how much time cycling stacks takes compared to just casting one Blizzard, but I definitely want to roll my Nilfur's and see if it's as stupid as I think it is.

Yeah after playing around some more with TR6 today, it doesn't seem that efficient in speedclearing T6 when compared to FB6. Granted that could change once I'm able to get the missing pieces of gear I need. The damage it deals is absolutely insane though. I'm FAR from optimal setup and my meteors still crit for 250+ mil. I'm kind of annoyed the old TR sources can't roll the 20-25% meteor damage. I got a new one last night, but it's pretty low rolls.

We really aren't. (lolRaekor's aside. And even that is dependant on pylon fishing.)

The main problem the removal of the bracers caused is we have to choose between damage or survivability. On top of weak single target damage and survivability in general compared to every other class. (We JUST got a cheat death passive in 2.2 while everyone else has had them.)

Not to mention both IK6 and WotW were finetuned with Mortick's in mind. So with that gone but no changes made to the set bonuses after the fact..... we're still stuck with Raekor's if we want to push Greater Rifts. And Raekor's is BORING.

Uh, prior to 2.2 monk's cheat death was garbage and barely worth mentioning. Just saying.
You weren't alone in not having a function cheat death prior to 2.0

Better than no cheat death, even if it only saved you like 30% of the time. Meanwhile, Wizards still don't have immunity after they die.



Was trying for Firebird's and Delsere's pants. I got four Tal Rasha's, two Firebird's, and too many of everything that wasn't Delsere's.

Wasted a bunch of materials crafting an average damage roll Ancient Devastator =/

Real annoying having Unstable proc then have the 2pc Firebird proc not even a second later.

I got an Ancient Nilfur's last night, but every single roll, minus the bonus effect, are all lowest of the low. 553 INT and 550 VIT. At least I got them, but it was so sad lol.

Nevermind, looks like this guy found the winning formula.

I'll just copy what he's doing since I've already gotten some good WotW gear (Ancient Pauldrons with good rolls!) and a decent IKBB.

Finished up my Delsere's today after doing a bunch of low/mid GRs on my DH. Just need a new Triumvirate and I'll take it for a spin =]
Got a working Firebird's setup I think, but I haven't had a lot of chances to run it. Grabbed a pair of Hexing pants (tfw it shows up first) while trying for Delsere's, so I'm running that, plus Tal's Belt and (level 60) Amulet (but it doesn't matter because it's only 200 INT difference, when it has like CHD80/CHC9.5/socket), Nilfur's because I don't own anything else <_< and a Unity/RoRG except my Follower doesn't have a Unity =[ Gloves are still those awful pair I found on my Monk though, but it's looking solid. Just need to learn the style and optimize some rolls because I ran out of materials on her. How often should I be recasting Blizzard? What's the chain length for the DOT?

Had awful luck on my Demon Hunter though. Got an Unhallowed Cloak as a drop. Rolled DEX/Armor/Companion/3os, no Discipline...

Also a cool Tal Rasha's build posted on diablofans

How often should I be recasting Blizzard? What's the chain length for the DOT?

I generally recast Blizzard every few seconds when moving through trash or fighting the Rift Guardian. The DoT leash is ~2 screens away for everything, but the rift guardian, which leashes about a screen length when you're solo. When in a group he probably follows the same "2 screen length".

I've completed replicating the #1 Barbarian's setup. (Stats and ancients aside.) And it sure does the job.

.....But I'm really not quite sure I enjoy 40+ Greater Rifts with the set. Simply because the Rift Guardians take so damn long to die. (Which basically leads to me spinning in circles for a long time and moving away from the bad puddles.) Whirlwind is fun when you're mowing down through everything and having tornadoes follow you to blow up the survivors. But..... spinning around one enemy for 6+ minutes really kills the appeal.

I might end up gearing up my Wizard afterall. I'm sure Rift Guardian battles will at the very least be more engaging.
