    posted a message on Wreath of Lightning does 4.7x Less damage than it should

    It's way low because blizzard doesn't want a pocket conduit like the ROS beta had.


    There is only one problem for me now. It got archon-Ed. Basically nearly all builds use land of the dead and corpse lance.


    They might as as well make land of the dead into an aura and make the cool down 60 secs . Then you can spam all your corpse skills more frequently rather than. Aggro for 20 secs then do damage.

    posted a message on Returning to the game, questions on class selection for solo

    in terms of season 11?


    The wizard is the best right now.

    in terms of consistent dmg with consistent toughness? Shadow mantle Impaler DH is the way to go. But Grenade UE is also good.

    In terms of straight up lazy mode and pure solo season? LoN Bomb

    In terms of what build can do a GR90 solo? every build on every class can do so. and with only 1000 paragon and a few augs. You do not need 3000 paragon to do a GR90.

    People, there's a VERY ACTIVE chat channel in HOTS with people doing AI rushes all the time.


    Just post on there to find someone, make a party with them, send them a friend request and you're good to go.

    You don't need to do this. Just ask general chat in game. Invite them to a game and then send a friend Request

    Each run will take anywhere from 2-5 mins if you know what you are doing.

    The best way is to have at least 1 healer and 4 dps classes. Now just zerg rush the mid lane. If an event pops up, have 1 dps complete the task for that OBJ while the remaining 4 continue on mid.

    posted a message on Demon hunter Impale build, Attack speed breakpoint.

    Honestly just do the math. You want as much APS as you can get. The point is to launch a number of impales while lightning rotation is up.


    Powerful shouldnt even be used pasted T13 speeds. Pain Enhancer out ranks it. The point is you can snap shot the IAS every time you pop vengeance. It is exactly the reason why lightning wiz use APDs because they snap shot the stun every time they teleport and pop archon. For a DH you pop fan of knives then pop vengeance to snap shot the IAS from pain enhancer gem.

    posted a message on D3 duration and price

    Totally agree.



    Like 2 nights ago I told this zsader to not shield glare on a boss because it resets the aggro and voids my stun lock. It also fucks with the lightning wiz. He got super butt hurt, "well I ran speed he 98s all the time and no one complained about me blinding." Checked his profile, highest group he completed was a GR80.


    Half the veterans don't even realize why they hit this wall.


    In terms of people who know what they are doing, yes the community is considered dead. Do I still play it? Yes, but not everyday anymore. My will to play a lot died after season 8 because I got my final tab. May be if we still gained more tabs per season, idk.

    posted a message on So much focus on item/skills used...why not so much when you use them

    depends on how active you are talking about. Nearly all builds are active builds. As in, you pop a potion at the right time to snap shot stricken, Pain Enhancer, or passive buffs.


    pretty much all zodiac barbs potion pop.


    even Impaler DHs using Pain enhancer potion pop to snap shot the current APS.

    You also play the fire flash wizard without num lock.
    Nat6 without num lock.


    Any build the requires you to use num lock to make it flow are considered active builds. Just don't use num lock.

    posted a message on Returning Player Questions about Seaons 10
    Quote from B3wild3r»

    Hello all, as the title states I am a returning from a long break. I used to play PC but have moved on to XOne.

    This is my first season overall and had a few questions.


    I am currently running a Crusader Hammer build and hit the wall at GR 73 solo and was thinking of changing it up, is there any benefit to running multiple season characters?


    Second, is upgrading rare items then re rolling legendaries in the cube still the best way to find upgrades?


    I had several more questions I wanted to ask but now that i write this my mind went dead lol.


    Appreciate any info possible, thanks

    you roll multiple class because a) you have all ancients of all the sets ans LoN builds for that class B) you want to play group META

    "hope of cain" is NOT always the best way. You base it off a loot table. If the item has below a 10% chance of dropping you reforge the legendary. If the item is above a 10% drop rate then you use "hope of cain." How do you get all the rare gear? You use Kadala. most people use kadala to get the start build up and running. You keep the rares to use "hope of cain."

    If you are capped at GR73 then you need to revisit your gear. If you aren't running any augs thats 1 reason why you are capped. If you don't have any Area dmg that is another reason. another is reason is you just don't have the skills to push higher. You need to know when to skip packs and when to stay and kill. if you cant kite mobs together thats another reason.

    That's interesting. with in a few days the Favorite class shifted from crusader to DH. That would be cool if I can an actual value of how many people are voting. Granted this is a very subjective post.

    posted a message on LoN Primal Buff
    Quote from lKriSl»

    not sure why every one is so hyped up on primals there just the same as ancients the only item you need as primal is the main weapon everything else is pointless getting primal you're ancients will be far quicker and easyer to farm than primals with the stats you need

    I don't think you actually thought this through.

    Primals are pretty much imperative on the LoN bomb and LoN Frenzy Barb now. Think about it, for each piece that can roll thorns you WILL HAVE a perfect 9500 thorns dmg. You cannot get a perfect 9500 with a regular ancient unless you have a lot of mats or extremely lucky.

    posted a message on What Your Most and Least Favorite Class?

    I didn't list Necromancer because it technically doesn't exist. It's not on LIVE servers. It's in PTR closed BETA. And based on the streamers and testers it's far from complete or even balanced. I will update the thread a month after the necro pack launches. I say month because people need to get a feel for the class. Rather than acting like "oh its amazing" because its a brand new class.

    posted a message on What Your Most and Least Favorite Class?

    I pose this discussion because I genuinely hate using the monk. I finally tried out the LoN LTK a few weeks ago. It's cool, but I wasn't having fun. Even the zmonk, I just don't like using that build. If i play group PUG's I typically prefer using the zbarb. But if i need to go dps, I'll switch to the Lightning Wiz. And I would like the WD more if they had a built in skill that grants them immunity to knock back.

    This season I went with HC DH and HC wizard. I died both times 2 lag spikes. However, I did get my guardian frame last week. So now I'm back in non seasons doing some test. I have played all classes and all META builds. So now I plan on creating a "play your way" build that can do a GR70 via the following classes.


    My favorite classes came full circle back to Vanilla. I main a Barb and a Wizard in Vanilla. and those are the only two classes I feel like I have the most fun with.

    So whats your favorite classes and builds? META or "Play your Way"

    why would u run max vit instead of int? since ur spells cost % life u also lose more





    That's all about getting more thorns damage with the Heart of Iron in the cube ('Gain Thorns equal to 300% of your Vitality').



    This was debunked in season 5 bro. You only gain 10% total increased dmg. Thorns scales off main stat first and foremost. The means the 300% is a mere fraction of the main stat multiplier. Why do you think for LoN bomb or Invokers people either go Rubies or diamonds. Its either raw DPS or damage mitigation.


    Just answering the question... not stating my life's philosophy or anything. Haha. That's why the original poster is (most likely) maxing his vit.

    I'm just clearing up a sadly common noob mistake.

    Another way of saying it is:

    300% of vit + thorns = new thorns

    Example:

    Constants: 300k thorns, 8600 mainstat, 3000 vit,
    bunch of other mulipliers = Z
    Increase Vit. Say you have 3000 vit + 5 Amethyst = 4400. HoI in cube = 13200 bonus.
    (8600%+1) * 313200 * Z = effective dmg
    27,248,400*Z


    Increase main stat = flat multiplier increase. If you have 8600 int and you socket 5 topaz in gear you get 10k int. this translates to 10k% multiplier.
    (10k%+1) * 309000 thorns * Z = effective dmg.

    31,209,000*Z

    (3.12-2.72)/3.12 = 12.8% difference in power.
    this means having main stat gems socket in gear gives you approximately 13% more power than amethyst.
