Well, my favorite spells (Spectral Blades, Wave of Force, Explosive Blast) just happen to work in close range only and my favorite passives support close range+tanking (Audacity, Unwavering Will) as well. It would be kinda sad that just because I like these spells I'm forced to play on low Torment levels all the time, wouldn't it? :-)

Here's Melkor doing the same thing I did (he started this whole thing, actually, :P).

No audio, though. But yeah, your favorite Spectral Blade, Explosive Blast + Wand of Woh. No life steal. No APoC.

Each of Belial's explosions also take him to about half health, so his level of mitigation is very similar to mine.

Some of us only get Butcher's Sickles without sockets, so I wouldn't complain about getting a Thunderfury! I am not sure whether you play 24 hours a day or just have unbelievable luck. Do you do the lottery? Hah.

I actually don't play as much as the standard hardcore gamer. I put in a solid 2-3 hours of intense grinding (as in mid-high Torment levels actually killing things in hopes of loot drops) each day. These days I spend most of my time running through Halls of Agony on low Torment levels, speeding through (thank you Warzechian Armguards), ignoring all trash, killing only elites, and popping all the Torture Tools for common debris. That I also do for a couple of hours at a time. On a good day, I'll put in 5-6 hours or so of farming.

If I remember correctly, I got my Tal Rasha's Brace and Nemesis Bracers during one of these debris runs. Obviously my crafts all came from them, too. I must have burned through about 10,000 Exquisite Essences already, likely much more.

@Bag - Just timed a couple of T6 Ghom kills.

Running ~221K unbuffed sheet DPS.

Ghom has 447,509,216 HP on T6. Best kill time so far was 1 min, 53 seconds.

Comes out to around a 21x multiplier (~4.9M eDPS, with limited repositioning to get out of multiple fart stacks).

Yeah, Ghom goes poof pretty easily. I do end up having to walk out of his farts when my HP dips below 50% or so, just to reposition and resume channeling. My LOH and passive regen heals me back to full during the "fart-less" period of time. The adds that Ghom spawns also give me a free 6K heal from my LAK.

I recently swapped out Icicle Familiar for Frost Nova - Frozen Mist (thanks to my clan mate EmperorMao). Since Frozen Mist lasts 8 seconds, that's one Comet from the Tal set on cast, and one more Comet upon Frozen Mist's expiration. I also have 40% cooldown reduction, so it's pretty much pseudo perma-cold (except when in Archon form).

@posters above me: I agree that Jaetch seems to have INSANE LUCK when it comes to legs

Well, I also just got this earlier:



Oh, perfect. Life after kill, just what I need. And, oh, cooldown reduction? I guess that works for Archon.

Not exactly spectacular, but it works. Arcane Torrent - Cascade, 4-piece Tal Rasha, zero life steal, zero APoC.
