Sup Fellas, do you guys have a guideline to go by, or rather to shoot for going into each torment difficulty.
Torment 1 - 500k dps and 10,000k Toughness
Torment 2..... u get the point.
Right now my Crusader is at 436k dps, and 8679 k Toughness/Defense, and even though I can get the job done, it seems slightly slow to me if I'm solo'ing the content on Torment I, on II I die quite often. Yes I have some close calls in Torment I, but I am durable enough that I can clear my runs w/o death.
But I feel that my kill speed just isn't enough.
Keep in mind I don't have any set pieces or legendaries yet.
There are so many variables in gearing that saying something like, "You should have 500k dps before you do T1," isn't really accurate. Your perspective of how well your char clears T1/T2 will provide a better estimate of what difficulty you should be playing at.
That being said, try to focus on legendaries that provide strong unique attributes, rather than purely DPS/Toughness. For example, the crafted shield Piro Marella would be a good item for you; it's a shield that reduces the wrath cost of shield bash by up to 50%. Look for items like that, and you'll see big improvements very quickly.
I know I didn't answer your question, but I hope that helps!
If that recipe and Random any mob drop, or are there specific mobs/zones that I can farm for the recipe?
It's a random drop, but that was just one example of an item that would be helpful. There are plenty of other great items out there, and they don't have to be limited to your spec; sometimes finding a good item means re-building your character around it.
