I don't mind the old-school ads at the top of a page that advertised something. Once ads started becoming beyond intrusive and playing sound and annoying the fuck out of me.... Adblock time. I do white list certain websites and streamers on twitch, but for the most part, ads aren't even 1/2 as much informative as they are intrusive and annoying. If a company/website/etc has ads that annoying, to hell with them, theyre getting adblocked.
Thats my Crusader. Running full 6 pieces of Akkhan. Im currently at 54.64%, which is 2% (on gear) shy of 100% up time. As my gear is now, I have 97.99% up time.

Edit: fwiw, I'm running t5 rifts pretty much blindly. I tend to just run around spamming my buttons, not really caring what I stand in and everything dies in a very timely manner. Yes, I am running Unity and on my follower with the cannot die relic, so that does help a LOT.
You should start looking for different set *cough* 2.1 *cough*
can you link to the blue posts youve claimed to have seen about nerfing jade set in 2.1? i havent seen anything of the sort and cant find anything either
edit: if anything jade is getting buffed in a sense. since they are fixing %haunt and %locust swarm damage.
Many people have come to the conclusion that when a game is opened, the system assigns a bunch of legendaries from the legendary pool and those are the legendaries you are able to get for that specific game session, assuming you have legendary items drop. If this is, in fact, the case, then it explains why you are seeing so many duplicate drops. There's no guarantee that the system functions this way, but there has been a lot of testing on this theory and many people agree that it's feasible.
Personally, outside of gambling from Kadala, I rarely see two of the same drop in one day. Yes, I did have one such occurrence happen this weekend, but, again, that's pretty rare. Odds are that you're either suffering from RNG... or you're opening one game and staying in that game the majority of your play session. If that's the case, then maybe consider leaving the game and making a new one every so often.
in my situation, i pretty much only play solo. i clear t6 rifts in less than 10min, some times as low as 5min. remaking a new game after every rift (i have weird ocd or something. i have to leave the game before the rift closes or i get crazy anxiety for some reason.). most people in my clan are somewhere in the range of t2-t4. its just so weird to me that we share so many of the same drops in a very short time frame, and often times also see multiples of the same drop.
Seems like Rakkof's is the daily drop for us today. I've gotten two in the past 20 minutes and in my clan activity, three other people have gotten at least one.
1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
People can say RNG is RNG on this topic till their eyes bleed, but I agree with OP. More often than not, myself as well as people in my clan see a high number of the same items, rare or not rare, all at the same time then it changes together. IE: I found 3 Shard of Hates yesterday, literally three other people in my clan that played as much as I did found at least one as well. My clan only consists of about 10 people but we all play for 10+ hours a day. I've noticed this happening with so many different items, ranging from super common items to super rare items, but always consistently dropping in bunches for everyone in my clan, as if that was the "daily drop". I point it out every time I notice it in clan activity, "oh look we all got a few deadmau5 amulets today." then go through a LOT of legendary items without seeing another one at all. This just seems to be more than coincidence to me since it happens on a very regular basis for me and my clan mates.
There is one big problem with clan trading. Even if you put a 30 day timer to be in a clan before you can trade, people will just make one giant guild with 10000 people, wait 30 days and trade items. The game is fine the way it is, personally I think they should boost the legendary drop rate a bit more (not as much as during the aniversary buff) and/or remove some of the fluff.
The problem is, when you finally find an set item or legendary, its most often than not, semi-useless due to its rolls
you mean justice lantern can actually roll useful stats? i thought it was 100% useless. considering i find justice lantern and manald heal 99.999999999999% of the time when a legendary drops
Who is the loser in the scenario of introducing these new legendaries in seasons, as well as non-seasons? You will still have your choice to play seasons if you actually want to, right? What more incentive than "I want to play seasons because I like the idea of this game mode" do you need? If this is not enough incentive in itself, clearly it's not your preferred game mode?
Thats what Im trying to say. If you want to play seasonal/ladder games, you will play them because you want to. I dont think its reasonable for someone to be like, "oh god i really want to get item 'x'. i HAVE to play ladders, even though i dont want to". Just seems foolish to me.
Fact of the matter is, either way, no one would be forced to play seasonal/ladder game modes. I personally think its a bit asinine to make that generalization. People who want to play competitively should be able to do so and be rewarded for it. People who dont want to play competitively should NOT be rewarded with the same rewards as the competitive players, playing in an alternate game mode. Do you really care if someone can farm Torment 6 faster than you? Does it really bother you that much? Why should anyone care if another person has an item advantage over them? The game is generally built to reward players for what they do. If someone doesnt like that system, they can choose to play a different game. I think segregation between players is a good thing and should be encouraged. The people that cant play as much as others, shouldnt be rewarded with the same rewards. End of story. Like Superbriggz said in this post, he has priorities that prevent him from playing as much as people that play upwards of 15 hours or more a day. Thats commendable that he is taking care of his real life affairs and hes probably a better person to some extent than me, someone who plays video games upwards of 15 hours a day. Do I think he should have the same rewards in gear/paragon/etc as me in this game? By all means, and with all do respect, fkkkk no. Again, nothing against him in any way, what so ever. I just have no real life priorities or responsibility and enjoy what I do.
Thats the thing, youre not "FORCED" into playing any mode you dont want to. You choose to play HC, you arent forced to play it. I choose to play SC, im not forced to play it. No one will be forced to play seasonal/ladder game modes when they are released. If you want the exclusive rewards, you have to play it though, which is called "INCENTIVE" not "FORCE".
Just for fun, imagine the following: the Wand of Woh only drops in HC. Do you believe the distribution of HC/SC players would be the same? I know for sure I'd play HC, even though I don't like HC.
That would be your choice to play HC for that item, in no way is Blizzard forcing you to play HC. If you want that specific item, that is your INCENTIVE to play HC. You choose to want that item. For the sake of this scenario, even if I was a Wizard main, I still wouldn't want to play HC for that item, just because I don't like the structure of HC. Often times I get disconnected from Blizzard's servers while nothing else going on for me suffers from latency/packet loss/etc. Or for example the game crashes because of a sound bug, which caused, I would assume, a HIGH number of HC players to lose characters. I CHOOSE not to play in a game mode that I can be punished for something 100% out of my control.
