Killing champions and elites is much easier since 1.04. Thank god. I JUST made it into Act 3 yesterday. Most of Act 2 was alright. Killing Belial was the only place where I needed some help.

Act 3 is a completely different animal though. Even normal mobs are taking me out.

Thanks. Yeah, I've been lazy with the gems, I'll upgrade those later. Have about 8 million gold. Friend found a pretty good weapon for me so trying out duel welding now. Huge DPS boost but lose quite a bit of resistance and armor, so will have to test some things out.

So I'm going to be online pretty much all day (I know I know...) if anyone wants to play. Based on yesterday, which likely was just a fluke, I want to see if it would be worthwhile setting up a paypal account. So if anyone wants to play, preferably in Act 3, let me know.

As I mentioned, I was finding good things as well. In fact I also found a Blackthorne's armour (sold for $20). Plus several other things. D3 forums also had a thread about the noticable bump in drops.

Played a fair bit since last night and nada, nyet.... bumpkiss to show for it. It is like polar opposites from yesterday to today.

Thanks for that. That was quite nice to have someone with decent gear as a tank as opposed to Kormac who dies so often.

I hate Herald's of Pestilence.

Not sure if I'm just unlucky, but I've only found two legendaries since starting the game.....and this was pre-1.04. A goldskin which was crap, and a two handed staff which was crap.

I roll with over 200 mf, and my friends always seem to get legendary drops....just not me.

Farming act 3 right now easily, and am at paragon 15....

Wow, that is pretty unlucky. They ARE hard to see, so is it possible you are overlooking them? Just killing so fast and moving on that you don't see them?

I know I have found a couple just backtracking....

Thats incredibly low. I probably have close to 10 by now and I havent played much, paragon lvl 2.

I logged in tonight at work since I was horribly bored and within 10 mins had a legendary amulet, mind you nothing terribly good.

Any fellow CP HC players? What level do you move on to hell diffc with? I went a little early and it didn't work out so well last time. Also Fallen Lunatic's are the scariest thing on HC Diablo

I've only found one legendary since day 1 of the game. Lucky me I guess. And it was absolutely crap.

I'm pretty diligent on checking the drops that I get, I suppose it is always a possibility that I've overlooked a few.

I've found a few reasonable things, but nothing worth more than 3-4 mill.....and I'm not kidding when I say I'm farming act 3.....I just blow things up on my monk, dual wielding too.

Even the items I find are pretty mediocre. Starting to think my monk is cursed with poor drops.

I find, and have absolutely no way of backing it up, that MF plays a bigger role with Legendaries then stated. I feel like there's even a noticeably difference between playing in solo with my ~400 MF and my 375 MF in group play that goes beyond the killing rate or anything like that. I had an extremely unusual drop rate for legendaries this weekend but all 7 I found were solo despite splitting my time between group play and my templar buddy.

Also, my friend is colourblind and can't distinguish legendaries very well, he's only found a couple but maybe half of them he only discovered in his inventory once he identified them.

Same here, and I've been playing since Day 1. The guy I usually play with hasn't found any yet. Nor have we found any set pieces, either.

By "playing since day 1" what do you mean?

How many hours? How many characters?

I have almost 300 hours on 2 characters split about (250/50), and I have found easily a dozen legendaries/set items, including 4 that my characters are currently wearing.

2 of those since the patch (maybe 10 hours playtime, tops).

i've found 2 legendaries so far... but most of my time has been below level 50... not sure if that is a good sample size...

do most legendaries show up in the later levels in this game?

I think there are more legendary and set items at level 50-63 for sure, at least before 1.04.

Well 1.04 must have done something right. Post-patch, a bunch of my buddies have gotten back on. It's nice to have a crew to play with again!

WRT to legendaries, I've gotten two since I've started, none since 1.04. A lv 6 monk helm, and a crappy low-leveled 2-handed daibo. Mind you, I've pretty much avoided Inferno up until 1.04.
