Saw this website with some decent information about drops.

http://www.diablohub.com/database/sorting/torment-only/

Anyhow, probably haven't played as much as you guys but I finally switched over to a WD from a Wizard. Seems quite a bit more powerful/OP. I have about half legendaries but can stand still and pretty much take multiple elites without problems up to Torment 4. Slow DPS though, they take a long while to die just running bats none stop.

Trying to get a Quetzalcoatl now I guess.

The day before I completed my Earthquake set I was running with a similar gear set up. One thing to keep in mind is that cool down reduction isn't additive. I didn't realize that right away so cool down reduction does have some fairly decent diminishing returns you might want to look at.

But what I was using, and it probably requires A Three Hundredth Spear, was just a build focused around Ancient Spear - Boulder Toss. With paragon and items like Immortal King's it's pretty easy to get 150+ max fury. I had 192 with Animosity. Let's say you are expending 150 fury on the boulder toss each time that's 3000% weapon damage per toss. With Ancients generating 3 fury per swing and low cool down reduction on other fury building skills (with 50% cool down reduction, War Cry - Charge can generate 50 fury every 10 seconds and/or Ground Stomp - Foot of the Mountain generating 30 fury every 6 seconds and more with Animosity) it's pretty easy to build fury. However, I did find that Reaper's Wrap was extremely useful in that build as health globes now generate like 70 fury with it but it cost me my Aughild bonus with my current set up.

I just got my barb up to 70 a few days ago and I just saw the lut socks + might of earth set. I can't wait until I find those pieces. Looks like fun!

Just found an amulet with the property "When you use Archon, your skill mesmerizes your opponents, forcing them to jump uncontrollably for 8 seconds."

Yeah, literally. It's pretty funny stuff. Not very useful, though.

Lucky sob! My dream is to run with a Zuni set, Mask of Jeram, Tasker and Thro, and kukri. Unfortunately I have none of these items lol!

But I did try to build around the Quetz mask again. I think I found a build that I'm happy with. Never knew how good Locusts were before. But with my poison gear and mask, it just melts T1 right now. Throw in piranhado and haunt with Creeping Death passive and we have ourselves a solid non-pet build.

Are people finding better success with drops running higher Torment levels at a slower rate or lower Torment levels at faster rate? I can do T3 with my wizard, but it takes quite a bit longer and my chances of death are greater, whereas I can burn through T1 virtually unscathed.

I don't know if this is up to date, I don't think it accounts for the most recent 100% rift Legendary drop bonus.

But if you can run Torment I more than 50% faster than Torment III, I'd guess farming Torment I would be better.

Correct, Torment 1 is the way to go. The difference is so small that speed outweighs difficulty. If you can run T2 just as fast as T1 however, run T2.

K, thx guys. I guess I've just been unlucky, good drops have been bleak on T1 so decided to reach out to the community. Tho in all fairness my T2/T3 runs haven't been much better.

I run T4 bounties and rifts with my buddy quite a bit and legs seem to be dropping often now. Of course, the quality of these legs seem to be mostly garbage.

I never get legs at all anymore in T1 runs. Then again it could be just confirmation bias.

T1 seem way too easy now to the point where it is not even fun. It reminds me of pub baal runs from D2.

EDIT: Just played some with Shawnski in T1 and got nothing, but legs. So I guess I am wrong.

Got two of the highest damage rated weapons I've ever got, the 2H sword was an upgrade for my Crusader. I wonder if the level requirement can reroll as a socket
