The good news is that I am definitely seeing the 2x drop rate (running T3 rifts)

The bad news is if you have absolute shyte luck and get zero legendaries, 2x zero is still.....

I kid... I think you guys will like this week.

Averaging 10 Legendarys an hour on T3

It's gotta be a significant increase in toughness though.

My lvl 60 witching hour is quite a bit better for me still for damage but my Tals belt gives me +20% increased toughness so I wear that.

Yeah tonight was a 100% times almost zero = almost zero night, though got a few more plans. A garbage chest and another 2H Warmonger. Man I love these gloves, 10 minute shrines are crazy good when you've got a few of them stacked plus full valour.

Got 3 Act 1 caches that I'll open in the AM, now I'm ignoring everything except the goal to get the caches. Cmon rings!

[Swayze11]

yea I think I might take the cache route.

100% legendary drop has been wicked. Most of my drops have been crap, but FINALLY got a hold of a Stone of Jordan. Solid rolls too. Socketed, 27% elite dam, an 19% cold.

Also the changes to DoT are nice. Emerald gem in my weapon now makes sense since it ups my overall DoT damage while improving my primary attack.

Does Witching Hour come in a level 70 version?

Seems like all my inferior and yellow gear is specced for damage, crit etc. and all the set pieces and legendaries I get, they're all defensive and can't even be enchanted into offensive stats. For example, this belt has 4% damage to elites and 7% attack speed. The Tal Rasha belt cannot be enchanted with any offensive stat other than Int or increasing the damage of a specific skill.

It does, but its extremely rare to find.

There is a streamer who has found over 200 legendary belts without finding one. Depending on class is has anywhere from 0.86% - 0.99% to drop.

This is a great link I should share. These are by no means the exact percentage but I am guessing they are pretty close. This will also help you focus on what you gamble from Kadala. Go with the higher percentage items you want first instead of wasting blood shards on something very rare.

Got lucky and got a Stone of Jordan and a Thunderfury last night. The SoJ isn't great with IAS for a witch doctor but might just use it anyhow with the 25% damage to elites.

[ma-skis.com]

finally found my Ring of Royal Grandeur, but i don't have enough set pieces to do anything yet... also rolled with Strength for my demon hunter... argh... so either keep farming for another or re roll the strength...

also the legendary buff seems in place, had one rift with nothing last night, but the next one rolled five legendaries.

[dammage79]

Just got the plans for Sydryu Crust dropped to me today! Kind of pumped as that will likely be the best bow my DH has ever had.

Just roll it out for crit something. I'm tempted to roll out the socket for crit on mine.

I'm trying Sun Keeper, SoJ and Aughild set now. I just got my SoJ the other day so I haven't tested it in T3 yet. But running T2 with friends, I definitely melt away elites.

Yeah, I was thinking that but it also has 15% to cold.

Just also got a Quetzalcoatl drop. Stupid IAS on that too! Not complaining, just wondering if I should run that or the Mask of Jeram.

Oh by the way, it's a -5% damage for +6% toughness tradeoff.

[photon]

Just FYI the 100% bonus does not apply to HC's or to Kadala, just in case some were going to focus on HC drops like I was.

So really only option is to run rifts to maximize the benefit.

[Mazrim]

Huh? I thought people were specifically pointing at caches earlier. Ah well, rifts it is!

I was doing some bounties today and was getting nothing for a very long time, and then suddenly got 3 legendaries in 5 minutes. One keeper too if I can change one stat to something more favourable like crit chance. (As a side note, I got puzzle ring again last night!)

I've got a couple items that increase Lightning damage now and combine that with Cleave and Whirlwind being lightning....well, it's been pretty fun.

[DatSOOKin]

So I got my wizard to 70 a few days ago and have been farming T1 rifts a bunch since. Got my sheet dps up to about 880k. I've been trying to get a Mirrorball, I've spent about 5k+ blood shards on orbs and have gotten about 4 legendarys. Surprisingly enough I got the rarer Wintercall orb (i think that's what its called), but still no Mirrorball! So frustrating!

Yeah I just assumed, but there was a blue post earlier that confirmed it wasn't for HC's or gambling.

[ma-skis.com]

droped a cloak of garwulf, one more marauders piece and I am gonna have a sweet little zoo running around me soon.

[photon]

Lol I just got two same legendary swords off of two mobs, one right after the other. Fulminators, not bad stats, but the lightning rod effect doesn't seem to proc often enough to make it worth switching.

FFS enough with the two handers!!

Got my first Tal Rasha's set, the source!

[Swayze11]

Finally got Vyr's gloves. Ideally I would prefer the boots for the 4 set (with ring) but the gloves will do for now. I also have 4 piece Tal's so I have the meteor proc as well. Overall its a pretty significant decrease in sheet DPS but I think its actually better. I am criting elites for an average of 7 mill and white mobs for about 4.5 mill (I have a soj and aughilds so pretty big damage to elties).
