Give me the power, Zero, I swear I'll be a good treasure goblin. :-)

Edit: Actually, I apologize, I shouldn't be making jokes in an official thread. I'll go back under my rock now.

Fascinating, Riv. I was curious if they added a legendary affix to Chantodo's wand, but it appears they have not.

As always a few changes (on the first PTR 2.3 patch) don't make it to the official Patch Notes, and we usually put together a thread with a quick list to them. Skill Changes

• Teleport now works "through" closed doors.

Fuck yes. The PTR can go live now. I'm happy. If they fixed the pathing issues as well, I will die a happy goblin.

I think an ~uber hard mode would be well recieved, with increased chance of Ancient legendaries? Call it Inferno. Everyone happy.

If four people equip the ring in group play, the effect should be vastly greater then focus/restraint. Maybe make it scale based on number of players with it equipped or somethng. It's just a terribly designed item.

I like the idea of it being "go-to" in high GR play, but it will need to scale and to beat out Focus/Restraint if four people are wearing it. Maybe each player equipping it increases the damage/duration by 2/3/4x. so it's ticking for 6000% weapon damage every second or something. Could be viable.

Hey guys, today I showcase and explain the mechanics of the Arcstone ring. Although it's more of a novelty item (there are simply better rings out there), it's still pretty cool conceptually and does ok damage. Enjoy & discuss!

You had me till "Does OK damage." because it doesn't.

Too bad it didn't do another monster affix like Shielding, Health link, or something with some use.

Considering it appears to tick twice every other second (so averaged to once per second), with some lightning damage stacking and high sheet DPS you should be able to break 100m - which is ok for a ring. The problem IMO is that it doesn't proc enough (should be a constant chain) and is TOO limited by distance. If it was say, 2000%, a constant chain (ticks once/second) and had a range of say 100 yards (a bit under 2 screens), it could be competitive.

So, vastly buffing every aspect of the ring; proc chance, duration, and damage...it might be competitive? And you say the ring is "okay damage?"

It's just not usable; you should be agitating for a complete redesign, or something.

How rare is Krindershot (2h Bow) -- Its never dropped for me

Probably one the of most common class weapon drops. Wands...so much worse ;-)

Have to say Wizards and Crusaders are the hardest, with Barbarians and Demon Hunters being the easiest., from the group GR perspective.

Dont even really bother to spent your shards on Kadala. The odds are so low, it's abysmal. Spend your shards on 50/7 Taskers instead.

Otherwise, just speed run 40s. I was paragon 600 for my first and only one. rolled minimum damage, vitality, and area damage. Absolute garbage. Still waiting for another.

P.S. Yes, Sever obviously is a troll, I guess Avoid will reveal his (solo) build on Sunday night / Monday and there should be quite some overlap I assume. I haven't specifically talked to him about that, we'll see.

Let me save you the trouble: He's running Ancient SS with Disintegrate instead of Blizzard. Anything less is....uncivilized. :-)

He did integrate Flame Blades (was that Gabynator's idea?) into Firedawn's build. That's his own innovation; I think everyone else wrote off Wizards in High end GRs. I know I did.

Quote from Requiem1363»

Why is he wearing a Sever? (the wizard)? Looked at his profile and hes got a Sever on

He's trolling. He's also using Blizzard, which is a joke too.

Nice, cheers for sharing this. Now to find find a good serpent sparker so I can drop my ancient furnace, did I just say that? O.o

All top wizard clears are done using a one-handed weapon. 90% of all wizards when going through the top 100 of the leaderboards have a one-handed weapon equipped.

Even on the PTR. I honestly don't know why this is. This specific situation SS would be better..but with Tals set?

I was thinking something with the new Rolands, because AFAIK there isn't a weapon that's build changing for that set up.

What? I'll take class knowledge for $100?

Class knowledge is good, my knowledge of that specific build is lacking, but from what I've seen there's about three possible weapons that are good for the new Rolands set up, but none of which are as OMGMUSTHAVE as say Blade of Prophecy for Condemnsader.

If I'm wrong feel free to correct me.

There's Golden Flense; and not one but TWO shields for Shield Bash.
