Whew it only took 3 tries to get a socket, so here's that crossbow now.

That's about what I expected mathematically. Great upgrade, and going from a two-hander to a one-hander to boot!! Leaves you with lots of options now.... second hand x-bow, quiver, even a shield depending on your desired build.

Sticking with pets for now. But I would think Haunt/Locusts with Creeping Death passive would be pretty fun.

I have this quiver for my DH that I STILL cannot get an upgrade on. It's a perfect scenario actually as I only really have to find better bows of any kind.
EDIT: Question, how are you guys getting these snap shots of your builds? I've never taken screen shots so I have no idea how to do it.

Got my Barbarian up to 70, only my Monk left. Once again highly annoying as all of a sudden the Legendary fairy decided that I needed a bunch of drops in the last few levels.

Sorry to whoever messaged me today, was in a big fight and was talking to my kid so missed it.

Just hit Print Screen and a screenshot will show up in your My Documents\Diablo III\Screenshots folder. I use Paint.NET to crop it after that.

- Searing locusts
- Piranhado
(Ran those three with Creeping Death passive)
-Spirit Walk with Honoured Guest for mana
- Spirit Barrage with Well of Souls
-Grave Injustice passive (though may not need it as much since I'm not running long cd abilities with this build vs pet/confusion build)
- Rush of Essence passive

It was fun. I think I would swap out vampire bats/Pierce the Veil with maybe Soul Harvest/Blood Ritual or something next time around. Everything else worked pretty good. But all my gear is geared towards my pet/poison/confusion build. Need to find new gear to support this build.

I did manage to get a Ring of Grandeur this weekend though! Too bad it rolled with dex lol.

Please pass that luck onto others. I've spent about 1500 shards on the shard lady to get a helmet and I've yet to see a legendary.

I've had good luck with shards, got my Triumvirate with shards, as well as a couple of decent gloves (one is the ones that extend the shrines to 10 minutes), and a shoulders and amulet (neither all that great). All with about 1000 shards.

Just reinstalled after only playing for the first month of release.

Wow, a much better game now! Fun to play.

Is it worth it to get the expansion pack?

What is some of your guy's favorite non-standard item bonuses on Legendary items? I'm kind of wondering what's out there, but I found a belt the other day that caused any health globe I picked up to, in addition to healing me, explode for 383% weapon damage in a 30 yard radius. Had a lot of fun with that. What are some of the others you've seen/liked?

Yes, adventure mode is a blast.

Lut Socks allows me to leap 3 times real quick instead of just once per cool down. Might of the Earth set bonus creates an earthquake every time I leap. Combined they are pretty decent combo. Actually it's total broken and will probably be nerfed soon

I also got a belt today that increases my DPS by 134% for 10 seconds after opening chests. There's actually quite a few belts with affixes that I like. I got a Pride of Cassius, although only level 60, that increases Ignore Pain durability by 6 seconds (over doubling it's duration). With higher cooldown you can run with almost 100% ignore pain, which reduces damage taken by 50% plus whatever rune you choose. And then there's one that increases movement speed for the party every time war cry is used.

I picked up a ring last night that turns damage I take with fire into Mana. I have solid life on hits with my pets, so basically I get unlimited mana when I'm standing on lava. My buddy has an amulet that changes that makes you immune to fire and turns 11% of the damage into healing.

Not sure if it actually works in combination, but if it did, then standing on lava would generate health and mana for you. That'd be pretty awesome!

Your build sounds awesome!

I was planning on working on my barb today to make use of the Royal Ring of Grandeur. I was thinking of getting the 4 piece IK bonus and 3 piece bonus for Aughild, Borne, and Crimson. With that I'd get a lot of bonus against elites and cooldown reductions. What would you recommend for skills to take advantage of the cooldown reduction?
