Regardless, my buddy saw the 69 cindercoat and laughed his butt off as well.

I didn't realize it was so highly sought after. I wasn't rocking any fire skills at the time, so I didn't think it was that good.

I keep flip-flopping between skills every 20 minutes or so. I still find disintegrate to be my favourite, especially when I'm in a building and the mobs line up.

Sorry no!! Meant to add to mine. Lol I've come close to doing that many many times but have always realized my mistake. Wish the edit button for other people's posts as a moderator was in a different place, again I apologize.

Yeah it's fun to toy with them, and it'll take a while for you to focus in on one, disintegrate is ok and I ran with that for quite a while, but switched to Frozen Orb shortly before they nerfed it, and have mostly stuck with it since. Though the fire orb I liked as well. And getting a Cindercoat or something like that can make you change your build to get the advantage, since sometimes a legendary or set can be such a big advantage.

Don't apologize, I was wondering if I was day-dreaming or something at first :P

I tried the fire orb last night. Ran out of AP way too early. Meteor shower wasn't too bad, but didn't see to put out the dmg I like.

I'll keep trying different things. Hopefully I start getting some lvl 70 gear and can just go where the wind blows me.

There's a passive that gives you AP when you cast a signature spell, I find that helps for something spammy like Arcane Orb.

EDITTHECORRECTONE: Also there's equipment that gives arcane on critical, and getting critical chance is pretty important to growing into Torment levels.

Topaz in helms is pretty much useless now. They nerfed magic find down to 10% effectiveness. So even if you have a full 300%, you truly only have 30%.

Really? That sucks. I'll keep that in mind going forward.

Doh. I didn't know that... Thanks!

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/D.../hero/17154497 I was hoping to get lightning gear to something different then what people normally see, but I just kept getting fire gear. I got really lucky with my amulet reroll for the critical damage.

I don't seem to get upgrades anymore!

[Swayze11]

Be careful with all those all resistant gems. Remember that INT = All res. When you get to a certain point, all res doesn't work well.

I would work on getting some topaz's in your gear.

[FanIn80]

Just starting to work on my gems now, but I have my wizard's dps up to 875K and her toughness at 5.8M (with buffs).

Oh I didn't know that, interesting!

[photon]

This is an interesting find, I already use the passive that is 15% chance to stun for 1.5 seconds, works well as CC for me.

With this I could use a different passive, but the drop in toughness plus losing the 14% damage reduction from elites hurts, I guess I could reroll the ring but could be a lot of rolling to try and change the ring.

[Oling_Roachinen]

Not sure if intended but for those unaware Oculus Ring can roll attack speed on top of the built in base attack speed.

So if photon wanted he could reroll that resistance for example and hope for 7% attack speed for a total of 14%.

[photon]

Really now. That'd be pretty worth it. My other ring has great CC and CD though losing that for some extra crowd control probably not worth it.

I usually hang on to legendaries with effects like that even if I don't use them in case they become useful in a way that I'm not aware.

Check out my DH. Hit 70 and ran through Pandemonium tonight and got some epic upgrades on Shoulders, Neck, LH ring and bow. I usually never get a good bow so I constantly change it up all the time. Wish I could get a socketed legendy to drop just once.

[Flaming Choy]

Just got Moonlight ward ammy for my wizard. Not a big boost on paper from my Tal's ammy, but the 25% arcane boost is huge for me.

Man, I played a few hours at 70 last night and didn't really get any decent drops. Come on RNG!!!!!

Stupid RNG. Getting super fed up by the fact that I'm PL 170, playing probably a good 120 of those as my witch doctor, and the only Zuni gear I've collected are two helmets, which is the one piece of Zuni that WDs don't want. Starting to lose interest in the cause!

[WhiteTiger]

I'm running around in T1, and finding that not only does the Legendary drop rate seem to have vastly dropped from Master, but that the Legendaries I'm getting are not only the "new" ones, but downgrades over the ones I did get in Master. Not impressed.
