Diablo III - New patch 2.1 Coming Aug 26

[Shawnski]

Fun bunch of rift runs with Oling and Hemi this afternoon. Thanks for letting the old man play!

Barbarian Belts! AAAGH!

[Oling_Roachinen]

So I got the new Born's set crafting recipe.

81 Marquise Rubies
10M gold
Tons of time farming for the specific crafting material

My prize:



If it had 3 sockets it may have been alright as I could turn the armour into strength but I was pretty disappointed.

[Deegee]

Legendary drops come quite easily and I am having a lot of fun right now.

Just about level 70 and then will continue working on paragon levels. Looking forward to playing with some people from CP.

I am also rocking a wizspike that dropped in an adventure game. It makes me miss my hammerdin from d2.

Ya there's no better farming than ripping through those rifts, even managed to get a legendary amulet by spending some blood shards. Course trying to do the same for a pair of boots was met with utter failure and 500 blood shards gone

By Odin's beard! Urzael, and that whole area leading up to Urzael is stupid. I turned it down to T1, and I was tailing my lv 70 crusader bud, and it was still tough. Even he had a tough time with Urzael still!

And he's the easy boss

Yeah I found most of Act IV pretty easy, until Malthael. Had to respec completely just to have a chance, my resists must have been too low those white area effects were almost instant death for me.

How does group rifts work? Does everyone need to may the rift fragments to start or just 1 person? Can everyone split off and do different bounties or do you need to be working towards the same one?

I found his wings to be killer. Also had to change to a throw/boulder barb build to stay alive.

Anyone that has five rift pieces can open a rift for the group.

As for bounties, I am not sure if you can have each person doing their own or not. I collected all my rift pieces solo.

Cool, so it's much more advantageous to have a large group for each rift run. Same amount of rift pieces, but 2-4x the loot. I'll probably send out rift run requests on the CP channel before I do any of mine then.

[Swayze11]

You can run bounties by yourself in a group. Sounds like a lot of groups are going into a lower difficulty and each person does their own bounty, then they group up for the last bounty.

[Rathji]

Annoys me that a stray click on the Rift Obelisk automatically opens a Rift. I was cleaning up my inventory last night and walking over to the jewelers when I must have clicked it.

Now I have a game I can't leave or I waste the 5 Rift peices and instead of going to bed, I am up an extra 45 minutes to finish it.

Also, I like the idea of grouping for bounties. They are quick as it is, so to increase that speed 2 or 3 times would be quite productive

My buddy insisted that we stay in T1 to finish Malthael for the guaranteed legendary drop. Took us about 3 or 4 deaths to figure out his pattern, and then another couple deaths after that from screwing up. Ended up being worth it though as I got 3 legendaries from him, 1 being a craft plan

I believe that craft plan is a guaranteed drop for your first kill. Was it a legendary Reaper's Wraps recipe?

Yep, but apparently getting mats needed to make it is almost impossible

Sweet, I'd love that on my monk. I got the DeadMau5 joke amulet the other day. It's pretty pointless, but might try it once or see the dancing effect.
