Exactly, I use a similar build on my Wizard and as much as I like extra damage, I like being able to use abilities more.

I did replace the gem and I'm at 38% crit and 217% crit damage now.

Forgotten Souls have a chance to drop from rift guardians in T1 and above

as well as torment specific legendries and horadric caches.

Your goal should be to get to T1 as soon as possible

I can confirm rift guardians dropping forgotten souls in normal, I have got quite a few on my wiz just plowing normal rifts.

Oh nice! had no idea, guessing the rate of drop differs with difficulty.

However the note about legendaries that are only available in t1 and harder would still be valid

good guide here for legendary mat locations:http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-iii-general-forums/diablo-iii-general-discussion/83094-guide-legendary-crafting-materials-drop-locations


and also what caches drop what, and in which act :

I thought it was just set items that were only available in T1 +?

Poor wording on my part(lumped class and theme with legendary), here is a list of all the items that I know that are available in torment only (there may be others)

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/top...9299133?page=1


as for the caches, there is items that can only drop in certain ACTS, not sure if they can be obtained in any difficulty

[Shawnski]

So I can get my sorc up to 1.368 million DPS (with her standard two buffs ~1 million without buffs/enchantress...) It's better with my other rings though which boost damage vs ellites and add archon damage but drop DPS down to the ~950K range.

Still using a Witching Hour though. Oh, and Inna's Pants...

Getting there...

[Flaming Choy]

I found a white double shot if someone still needs it.

I'm looking for an archon sach. If anyone sees one, can you hold on to it for me? Thanks.

[Teh_Bandwagoner]

Man... I just did a quick check. Looks like I've pumped nearly 350 hours into this game since release. I wonder if there's any way to figure out how much time I put into SC back in the day and SC2. Damn you Blizzard!!!

I need the Doubleshot, and I am sure I have a sash. edit: Just confirmed I have 2 sashes

In fact I think I have almost 2 complete sets of the white general armor, and one of a couple of the class specific items if anyone needs them.

[Raekwon]

Hotfix last night, 25% increae in drop rate for legendarys in nephalem rifts.

I'll drop it off the next time I see you online. Found a couple saches also so i'm good on that front. Been collecting a bunch of white general items (so far primarily armour, haven't gone hunting for weapons too much), so if anyone needs anything, let me know.

[photon]

Upcoming Hotfixes:
Players are receiving an unusually high number of Mighty Belts and Quivers.

YOU THINK!?!? Incredibly frustrating sometimes, I'm trying to find upgrades and when a long hard battle results in two yellow belts...

Looks like they nerfed the chest runs too.

The number of chests that spawn in the following zones has been reduced:*
Core of Arreat
Briarthorn Cemetary
Battlefields of Eternity
Crag of Eternity

[photon]

50% Exp boost this weekend! Goes live later tonight.

[photon]

The damage comparison when you hover over a weapon takes %crit and %critdamage into account correct?

[Rathji]

Yes

[Deegee]

I believe the hotfix also buffed the number of asses in public games that hit shrines ahead of their party.

[photon]

So here's a question, all of my characters are over level 60. All my tabs in my chest are full of stuff, two of them are probably legendaries and a few yellows of < 60 equipment. Is it worth keeping around now? Or maybe just keep one or two few really good items to help level a new class if they ever introduce a new one?

Salvaging it seems like such a waste since the materials are pretty much useless.

I've also got a half tab's worth of magic find stuff, is that worth keeping?

[Rathji]

I wouldnt keep equipment you are not wearing, won't wear in the future or doesn't have an very redeeming quality about it.

[photon]

But.. but.. that goes against every pack-rat instinct! How they can have such a small inventory limit in this kind of game is beyond me
