Diablo III - New patch 2.1 Coming Aug 26

[Mazrim]

Loot 2.0 made it so the only gear I keep in my chest is set items and low level gear to help start new characters. Even then, you only need some +XP stuff at best in there for new characters.

And level reduced weapons!

You are exactly right though. Without the AH these items have almost no value, so no point in trying to keep them.

I got some new drops and my barb its pretty tough now. This is without any DPS boosting skills/abilities.

Very nice healing. That is one thing I need to work on with my char. I am about 1.45 mill DPS and 4.3 mill toughness.

Upgrading gems would help on both ends but its just way too expensive to justify it.

Kadala dropped some interesting pants for my WD, with a 15% poison buff and 15% frog buff. Changed up everything to poison as a result. Poison golem, poison dogs, poison fetishes, poison acid cloud, poison frogs. Pretty fun build actually! Everything just slowly melts away lol.

[Swayze11]

Anyone have any luck getting good items from Kadala gambling shards?

I finally got a source and rolled a pretty nice triumvirate.

[secol]

i burned about 250 shards on boots for my wiz hoping to improve on my legacy fire walkers. didn't really get anything

[Teh_Bandwagoner]

I got a decent mojo and gloves from her too. Upgrades from my old yellows anyway.

Could really use a Tasker and Theo with pet buff for my WD though!

[Flaming Choy]

I've spent a ton on 1-handers, never gotten a legendary or anything useful.

also, new patch is up. Patch notes can be found here:

Hm lots of increases to Crusader except for Fires of Heaven which gets nerfed because that was the only useful thing on Crusader.

"Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where Electrocute was granting double the intended amount of Arcane Power when used with Prodigy"

Uh oh...

That combined with the other Wizard "fixes", guess we'll have to see how it goes.

"Level 70 crafted sets no longer require Flawless Royal gems and instead now require Marquise gems
The drop rate of unique Legendary crafting materials has been significantly increased
This matches the drop rate of Death's Breaths"

Nice!

[Mazrim]

Someone in the comments said that they added commas to a monster's health? Best fix right there if true.

[photon]

Aw man I don't have my Crusader to lvl 70 yet, people are saying that there's something bugged with thorns and reflect or something and they're killing T6 bosses in seconds.

[Swayze11]

Man I would love to get this

[photon]

Nice, though wizards seem to be going arcane with the frozen orb nerfs.

Also reading that Witch Doctor mobs damage scales up with critical hit damage now, no word on if that's a bug or a change.

[Swayze11]

Yea, I may have to go arcane soon here, have a lot of arcane damage increases on my gear. Going to try a few things out tonight

[photon]

Did a quick play with my wizard and it's definitely a difference, seems to take quite a bit longer to clear a group of mobs. The radius is smaller, though not it's not horrible. Biggest hit is on mana generation, that's truly nerfed.

[Oling_Roachinen]

With the crafting changes and legendary material drop rate change I'm expecting there will be more crafting going on. If anyone wants me to keep an eye out for specific whites just let me know. Right now I'm trying to make a decent Reaper's Wraps and I've gone through like 10 so if anyone can keep an eye out for Ascended Bracers for me

[photon]

Heh I just tried the thorns thing with the Crusader, need to be in a pretty high Torment to make it work seems like and my Crusader is only level 64, so I can't live very long, but it does actually work, on T4 I 1 shotted a champion when I was lucky and found it right at the beginning of the area.

But otherwise I'm just not strong enough to get anywhere, the effect is only 4 seconds long and the cooldown too long.

Gonna try the WD one now.

[photon]

Haha yeah all mobs hit for crits with WD as well, so Fetish Army is pretty crazy.

EDIT: Crusader one looks hotfixed now.

[Thor]

I just don't get how people are over 1 million dps, I farm as much as I can bounties, rifts on torment 1 and when I finally see an upgrade its usually a yellow with like .5% dmg, most legendaries that drop now are downgrades for me, horrible luck on them.

Should I be farming the craftable legendaries instead?
